Disclaimer: How many times? About 20 at the least. I DON'T OWN DBZ!!!
Chapter 3. Yet again it was a short fic until people asked me for chapters but I don't mind, I like it! You like me you really like me!
I'll shut up and get on with the story now.
Confrontation
The next morning Piccolo took Goten back home. Chi-Chi had not long got back with Gohan and she was yelling at Goku for loosing his son.
"You LOST him! And you call yourself a father!"
"But Chi-Chi, he's with Piccolo. He's fine"
"How do you know he's with Piccolo! He could be in a ditch somewhere! All wet and dead!" She then broke down in tears.
"I know he's with Piccolo because he's behind you with Goten"
Goku 1, Chi-Chi 0
She turned round and hugged the life out of Goten "Don't you ever do that again!"
Goten's muffled voice spoke from somewhere in Chi-Chi's grip hold "But Mum, I had a nightmare"
"Then why didn't you go to your father?"
Chi-Chi let go of her youngest son to reveal that his cheeks had gone all red.
"What's wrong Goten? Why didn't you go to your father? Answer me"
"Because.Because.Because.I DON'T KNOW HIM!" The little chibi ran as fast as he could into his room and locked the door.
Everyone rushed in and tried to talk to him through the door. It wasn't until Piccolo crouched down to the keyhole and spoke that Goten would answer anyone.
"What do you mean you don't know him kid?"
"I've only known him less than a week and everyone expects me to love him and do stuff with him like he's always been here. But he hasn't. He's never been here. It's always been you, me, Gohan and Mum. Not him."
"What can you do about it? Nothing, he's your father and that's all there is to it"
"But I don't want him to be my father! I want my father to be you!"
Piccolo sat in a stunned silence. Chi-Chi gasped and Goku was shocked. Goten carried on ranting through the door.
"You've always been there Piccolo, not him. You're more of a father to me then He'll ever be"
Piccolo turned around and looked up at Goku. The Saiyan's eye's filled with tears and, just like his youngest son, dashed to his room. Piccolo ran after him and again spoke through the keyhole.
"Goku? Are you ok?"
He could hear sobbing on the other side of the door.
"Goku?"
The Namek had no choice but to break down the door. He ran in and Goku was lying face down on his bed sobbing his heart out.
"Goku. I'm sure he doesn't mean it. It's probably just because you two haven't spent much time together"
"No Piccolo, you don't understand"
"What do you mean?"
"Goten, he's right. How could I be his father, I don't know him. He's my son and I don't know him"
"You'll get to know him in time"
"Goten wont give me time. He hates me."
"No he doesn't. Maybe if- "
"Piccolo, it's you he wants. You're a much better father to both of the boys than I've been"
Piccolo stood in disbelief. What did Goku mean? Did he think he was an unfit father? Or does he want Piccolo to take the boys off his hands?
Chapter 3 done! I never thought this story would go so far but you like it! Keep reviewing and I'll keep writing!
