A New Beginning

They decided to leave the decision up to the boys. When both Goku and Goten had calmed down the whole family went into the Living room; Piccolo and Goku sat together on the couch, the boys sat on the arm chairs either side of them and Chi-Chi stood in front of them all "We're going to resolve this once and for all" She said as she paced, "Gohan, Who do you want to live with, Goku or Piccolo" Gohan thought of the best way to say it "My father, Sorry Piccolo but he is my Dad"

"Understood kid, it's ok"

Chi-Chi was now looming in front of her youngest son "And you?"

Goten started to tremble, his mother looked quite evil at that particular moment "Erm..." He then said in a small voice "Piccolo, I want to live with Piccolo"

"Fine. Go pack your bags." She then walked off; leaving Goten feeling very bad and guilty as he thought his mother now hated him.

While packing his bags Chi-Chi wouldn't talk to him. She acted like he wasn't there, Goten started to get upset, he couldn't see what he was packing because tears obscured his vision. He hadn't wanted to break up his family like this. He had just wanted a proper father. He started to sob and Piccolo's sensitive ears must have heard him as the Namek walked in to comfort the distressed chibi.

Piccolo sat down on the bed and pulled a still sobbing Goten onto his lap. He cuddled the chibi into his chest and started to hum a song he sang to him when he was little. It used to be the only thing that would get Goten to sleep; it was Piccolo's favourite Namekian lullaby. Goten started to calm down, the memory of the old song cheered him up a little as he remembered why he wanted Piccolo to be his Dad.

Now packed, Goten and Piccolo went outside to the others. They promise that nothing had changed and they would always come and visit. Chi-Chi still wouldn't talk to Goten but Goku and Gohan waved goodbye as Piccolo and Goten flew off into the horizon.

Goten realised that he had never seen Piccolo's house, he knew Piccolo stayed up at the lookout a lot but Gohan had told him that Piccolo had a house of his own somewhere. They approached the cliffs where Piccolo usually trained, and then they stopped in the woods and walked into a clearing. That was when Goten saw the house he was now going to live in. It was a beautiful wooded cabin with a small path and garden. Goten couldn't wait to get inside and see his room. "Do you like it?" Piccolo asked

"Yeah! It's great!"

His new father smiled at the overexcited child's response. He then led Goten inside and showed him his room. Goten's new bedroom was relatively big with a simple but comfy looking bed in the corner, a wardrobe, dresser and a window with a view of the trees and flowers of the forest. Goten loved it. "Sorry, but it wasn't made for a kid. We can redecorate once you've settled in" Goten had an image of he and Piccolo having a paint fight while decorating. He set his things down and followed Piccolo to the living room "Piccolo?" he asked hesitantly

"Yes?"

"Can I call you Daddy?"

Piccolo blushed and then replied with "'Course you can, kid"

Goten smiled and sat down next to Piccolo, throwing his arms around him in a big hug and he knew that he was going to love living here.

All done! A cute ending I think. I might write a sequel of Piccolo and Goten's life together, tell me if you want me to.
