Chapter 12 - Reconciliation
______________________________
Gohan flew home on his own. Still thinking about the events that happened previously. In his head he couldn't think of why Videl would do that. Why would she cheat on him.
He kept thinking that it was because he was away all the time on conferences. But deep inside he knew that couldn't be it. She was too loyal. If you'd heard how she talks on the phone you wouldn't think that.
He landed on the footstep of his home and took his mask off. Only to find Madison sitting on the doorstep cradling Lived.
"Madison what are you doing here?" Gohan asked
"I wanted to leave Videl alone with Uncle Herc" Madison explained "And I didn't want you to be left alone"
Gohan smiled quickly, but that soon faded. He pulled out his keys and let the duo in before walking in himself.
"Uncle Gohan" Lived said proudly
"Shoosh" Madison said hushing the 6 year old child down."Lived, honey go into our room and go to bed alright i'll be in later"
Lived nodded, and ran off leaving the two adults on their own. "Gohan tell me what happened?"
Sleep didn't come easy the previous night to Videl Son. Her mind kept trailing back to the look in Gohan's face when he saw her 'Kiss' that other man. Two thoughts were on her mind. 'Number One: Gohan had been drinking when he arrived home, it wasn't like him but was still a possibility' or 'or he really had seen what she didn't wat him to see, her cheating on him' She opened eyes slowly as she was greeted by the light of the day.
Videl placed her hand on the bed next to her. Apon meeting emptyness her eyes immediatly snapped open.PAN.Where was her daughter. She sat up and looked around the room. Her daughter Red gi was missing, and her pajama's in their place hanging over the chair..
"PANNY" she called.
No answer.
"PAN MISTY SON"
Again No answer. "PAN SON GET YOUR BUTT HERE"
It was then at that moment that Majin Buu entered the room.
"Pan went out to train with man with spikey hair" Buu answered
"WHAT?"
"I said little girl went train with spikey haired man" Buu repeated
"I know its an expression" Videl explained as she picked up a shirt and put it on over her bra. "Buu can you let Daddy know that im out?"
Buu nodded, and with that Videl flew off.
Pan stood with her fists clenched. Her hair was moving slightly with the amount of energy she was emitting.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pan shouted concentrating with all her might.
"Come on Panny, think of something really horrible, Think of a monster so bad that it angers you to see them" Gohan said "They'll destroy Grandpa Goku, Grandpa Satan, Grandma, Your mother, me, YOU"
"AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Pan shouted as a slight tinge of green appeared in her eyes.
"They'll kill everything and everyone that are important to you" Gohan said as the child dropped to the ground, the tinge of green leaving her eyes. "Good first try, your getting the hang of it quick, your Uncle was 5 when he mastered it," he sat next to the child smiled. "but why'd you stop?"
Pan looked up at her father. "Mommy's coming, i can sense her"
"GOHAN" Videl snapped when she landed. She looked at Panny. "Good Morning Sweetie, can you please go over to grandpa's i need to talk to your father"
"Ok" Pan answered giving her father a hug. "I love you Daddy"
"Love you too Panny" Gohan answered as the child flew off.
"We'll go home and talk" Videl said as the two flew off in silence to *their* home.
Videl walked into the living room with her arms crossed she was still angry, although she didn't know why.
"Why are you so angry?" Gohan asked
"Why am I so angry?" Videl asked "You accused me of something i didn't even get the chance to explain"
"Well, why don't you explain it to me now?" Gohan asked as she sat next to him. He looked at her. "I know I wasn't listening yesterday...but im listening now"
I'm sorry for all the times that I hurt you
Lied, cheated on you
Left, commited every crime except for murder
But you still didn't judge me
Infact you found a way to love me
Sometimes I really messed up and you still found a way to hug me
FLASHBACK
Videl was in the kitchen whilst Pan watched TV Goten was over and was playing with her. Videl smiled to herself. She enjoyed watching the teen playing with his neice. He absolutely adored her.
"Uncle Goten" Pan said as he tickled her "That tickles"
"Panny" Goten teased as his phone went off, he quickly answered it. "Uh...hi Paris" he tickled Pan with one hand as he talked
"Yeah, um sure in 10 minutes, curfew? I'll have you home by then ok bye love you" Goten answered as Videl sat on the sofa, her hair not done up in a braid it was down, her hair was to her waist. Her Ceruleun eyes was lovely and crystal like.
"You going Goten?" Videl asked
"Yeah, wow Videl if you weren't married to my brother or ten years older then me i could so date you looking like that" Goten said "Why is your hair down today?"
"Thanks, Goten, my hair's down today because Gohan's coming home today" Videl answered blushing slightly, she blushed even more when Goten smirked and winked at her.
"Tell him I said hi" Goten answered facing Pan with a smirk. "And you be a good saiyan"
"Yes Uncle Goten" Pan said happilyas she walked with Goten to the front door. She waved as the Demi Saiyan flew off, she quickly ran into to her mother.
"Mommy?" Pan called from her spot on the ground.
"Were you good for Uncle Goten?" videl asked curoiusly
"Yup!" Pan said excitedly.
"Now what are we going to do?" Videl asked the child as there was a knock on the door.
"Answer the door" Pan said raising her fist in the air.
"Yes" Videl said as she picked up Pan and held her, Pan leaned onto her mother's chest as the door opened. There stood a tall masculine man with blonde hair spiked. He had lovely blue eyes and was very cute. Videl smiled.
"MARKER!!!" Videl said happily as the man hugged her. "Come in Come in"
Marker walked in. "It's been a while?"
"Yes it has"
"Mommy" Pan cut in. "Who is he?"
"Oh sweetie, this is your Uncle Marker, he's your Uncle Sharpner's older brother, he and I used to date before I met your father" Videl said as the man blushed.
He sat in the kitchen whilst Videl's made three drinks. Pan sat at the table next to him.
"My mommy's really pretty" Pan said smiling
"Yes, she is, and you know what?" Marker said in a low whisper
"what?" Pan whispered back as he began to tickle her.
"Your just like your mother" Marker answered tickling the child
Pan was in a fit of laughter. "We're gonna have to tell your Daddy, to keep you locked up, your gonna be too beautiful for your own good"
Pan smiled. "Mommy I'm gonna go play ok"
"Sure thing" Videl answered placing the drinks on the table, she handed Pan a cup with a lid and chocolate milk as the child ran off. "NO BLOWING UP THE HOUSE AGAIN"
"Blowing up the house?" Marker asked
"Long story" Videl said "I can tell you if you want, sometime"
"I'd like that" Marker said
"So any kids for you?" Videl asked
"Lime and I are expecting our second child, our first is a boy he's five years old"
"That's good, How is Lime, i havent seen her since High School"
"She's very good, she wanted to come see you today, but had a doctors appointment"
"Well tell her to call me up and we'll catch up, oh and don't tell her about Pan I'd like to surprise her"
"Ok, I actually came with some important news"
"Really what is it?"
"Um, Sharpner sent me a letter about him and Eraser moving to be with Eraser's mom in America"
"Yeah, Eraser sent me a letter too, she didn't leave me a return address or anything" Videl said in a low whisper
"Well, i guess they didn't tell you the real reason why they moved"
"Yes, her mother's very sick" Videl said briefly
"That's not it" Marker said "I know Eraser wouldn't tell you cos she's still coming to terms with this herself"
"What is it?"
"Has she mentioned Chelsea in her letters too you?"
"No, Chelsea what happened to her?" Videl was scared, ever since she could remember Eraser always mentioned Chelsea in her letters suddenly it was just Kase and Kasey, Erasers newborn twins who were the same age as Pan.
"She's Dead Vi"
"WHAT?!" Videl said shocked. Tears forming at the corner of her eyes. The feeling of loss makeing itself known. She hated having this feeling.
"Her asthma went for a turn for the worst and she went into a coma, whilst pumping her full of medication and everything she had a heart attack and died, she was only 2"
"Yeah, Right, if this is your idea of a joke, your way off and it's not gonna fool me" Videl said trying to make light of it, not wanting to believe what she was hearing.
"No joke" Marker said firmly rasiing his voice. He then lowered it again and spoke again. "Have i ever lied to you about something this serious?"
"No" Videl said as she began to cry. Marker went to Videl and wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace.
"I'm sorry" Marker answered as Pan walked in, she raised her hand.
"You have 0.25 seconds to get your arms off my mommy and to the other side of the table" Pan said
Marker jumped up in fright. This girl was exactly like her father, very protective of the one she loved. He knew she was only a child but he also knew that her father could throw blasts of energy out of his hands, and he wasn't going to take the chance with this child incase she had been taught the same trick. "Whoa, kiddo"
Videl didn't look up as Marker went to sit on the opposite side fo the table, Pan's hand following him til he sat down, when she did she lowered her hand.
"You have 10 seconds to tell me why you made my mommy cry" Pan asked again raising her hand.
"I..." Marker started
"I'm alright, sweetie" Videl said she raised her head and smiled. "I'm fine"
"Really?" Pan asked
"Yes" Videl answered
"Well I best be going" Marker answered getting up, Videl followed.
She stood at the doorway smiling as Marker leaned in to kiss her cheek. "Don't let it get you down, just offer your support, I'll e-mail you Eraser's address when i get it alright"
"Yes, thank-you" Videl whispered as he walked down the steps and got to the car and left. She sighed but jumped back in fright as Gohan walked up to her adn grabbed her wrist.
"I know, I wasn't here, but what are you up too?" Gohan demanded "I have been faithful why cheat on me?"
"Ow your hurting me?" Videl said
"Why did you kiss him?" he demanded again
Videl stood and looked at him. Pan holding onto her legs tightly. She breathed in heavily. The day just couldn't get any worse.
END FLASHBACK
'Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you
Said I'm sorry for all the pain that I ever brung to you
Said I'm sorry for everything that I ever done to you '
"If you had've let me explain in the first place, we would've sorted this out" Videl said folding her arms, her eyes narrowed as Gohan didn't answer. "GOHAN DON'T PRETEND YOU CAN'T HEAR ME" she listened carefully as she heard the sound of sobbing. She blinked. Was she hearing right?
"Gohan?"she whispered. He held his head in his hands and yes he was sobbing. She moved his head up so she could see his eyes, but he hid away from her, She decided to sit herself on his lap. Every time she reached for his face he backed away.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry" Videl said as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he cried into her shoulder.
"I don't wanna lose you, You and Pan mean the world to me" he said in a low whisper.
"Gohan you won't lose me and to prove it I'll do this" she said as she traced her fingers along the scar on his neck, it was two teeth marks. She carefully placed her mouth over it again, and sunk her teeth in.
He let out a slight moan as he proceeded to her neck repeating the process, both licking the blood from the wounds. When finished he smiled briefly at her before sealing the deal with a passionate kiss.
She stood up and grabbed his hand tightly, leading him into the bedroom with a seductive smirk on her face.
"Madison's out isn't she?" she asked, Gohan nodded, and with that she closed the bedroom door.
Meanwhile
Pan was at her grandpa's house. Which Grandpa? Goku's offcourse, she admired him deeply.
Goku was messing around with the child on the floor as ChiChi walked in with a basket full of washing.
"How I miss that?" ChiChi said
"What do you mean?" Goku asked "gonna getcha munchkin" he tickled her quickly
"Having a little baby, my babies are all grown up" ChiChi said sadly
"But ChiChi, it means there's more time for us to have fun, and besides Pan's a handful as it is" Goku teased
"Grandma help me" Pan squealed as ChiChi dropped the basket,
"Oh what the hell" she sat down and began to help her husband tickle and play with the child.
"I wonder how thing are going?" ChiChi wondered
"I think their going fine" Goku answered with a smile, Besides it's been a few hours, Looks like Pan's staying here tonight"
"YAY!!!" Pan said throwing her arms up in the air.
Videl rolled over in bed and smiled at the man who was embracing her, his eyes were closed and his breathing was normal. she moved some of his hair out of his face and smiled. She was happy that they were still together after all it was just a petty fight over nothing. She was happy that he didn't want to share her with anyone else.
She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. He shocked her by placing his hands under her shirt and rubbing her back.
~Videl I love you~ Gohan said through their link
~I love you too~ Videl answered and closed her eye's ready to fall asleep.
The Following Morning
Videl woke up for the first time in ages with her adoring husband beside her. The feeling of his warm arms wrapped around her petite body was enjoyable.
She yawned as she got out fo bed quietly. She slipped on a pair of shorts and a tank top and walked out into the kitchen. She found Madison reading a magazine while Lived ate his breakfast. Videl smiled to herself widely as she began to sing softly.
'Now you're the one I'm looking for
You're the one I need
You're the one that gives me - a reason to believe
Following a star - has lead to where you are
It feels so stong now - this can't be wrong now'
And all Madison could was smile. For she knew the reason why Videl was singing.
