nothing! I'm poor!
Back from death's door
Four hours later most of the Z fighters were still sitting in the hospital waiting to see if Piccolo was going to be all right. After pacing for what felt like days Vegeta finally said, "I don't understand. That bottle shouldn't have penetrated Piccolo's skin. Even if it did he should have regenerated straight afterwards"
Gohan, who was sitting with his head in his hands answered him "Piccolo was off guard. The only time that he lets all of his barriers down and this happens. When his guard is up his skin becomes almost impenetrable, one of the good things about being a Namek. He couldn't regenerate because he went unconscious due to the shock. He'd be all right if he'd just wake up"
"I guess that's easier said than done when you've lost that much blood" It was then that the prince looked over at Goten "The kid's been silent since we got here. He's just been staring at that door. You don't think he went into a coma with Piccolo do you?"
"Piccolo's not in a coma. Not yet anyway. Goten's still in shock. He loved Piccolo very much, he's been so happy now that they're father and son. I've never seen him smile so much. He's just worried about him, it must feel awful that your mother is the one who did something like this to your father" With that Gohan went to sit next to his baby brother to try and comfort him "You ok Goten?" the chibi just nodded, he was so upset that he was emotionless. He hadn't cried a single tear. "Do you want Mum?" Gohan instantly regretted saying that as Goten gave him a look so cold that it almost froze him. Luckily for him, the doctors came out of Piccolo's room and said that close family members could go in and see him. As the others weren't related only Goten could go in.
Goten slowly walked towards the bed that his father lay on. Piccolo was pale and he was hooked up to countless machines that kept bleeping and making Goten jump. The chibi sat on the edge of the bed and put his hand on Piccolo's, it felt cold. Looking at his father like this Goten could hold back the tears any longer, he buried his face in Piccolo's chest and sobbed until he had used up all of his tears. "Daddy! You can't leave me! I won't let you! I love you Daddy!" Then Goten felt something strange. Piccolo's hand had gotten a little warmer then suddenly a harsh, croaky voice managed to say "I love you too son"
"Daddy!"
"Who else would it be?" Piccolo laughed and then wished he hadn't as pain seared through his chest
"We thought you weren't going to make it" Goten was crying again but this time with tears of joy.
"You can't get rid of me that easily kid"
"But how? You lost so much blood that they thought you'd die"
"I can slowly regenerate while I'm unconscious. I've gradually been getting my blood back. I'll be ok. Could you get me a drink please?"
"Sure!" Goten sprinted over to the sink in the corner and got his father a glass of water, he walked carefully back and because Piccolo couldn't move very well he poured it into the Namek's mouth
"Thanks kid" Piccolo smiled "You want to go and tell the doctors that I'm a miracle or what?"
"Yeah!" Goten couldn't wait to see the faces of the doctors when he told them that his dad was going to be fine. They all thought that he wasn't going to make it, Goten had even started to believe that himself. But he should have known that Piccolo couldn't get knocked down like that. His dad was amazing.
After finally proving all the medics that he was perfectly fine Piccolo was eventually allowed to leave the hospital and go home. He felt great, he'd been at death's door and fought back and now he had a pretty nifty scar to prove it. When he got home he found that Goten had organised a little welcome home party just for the two of them. He had made dinner (Which Piccolo thought was an excellent attempt for a seven-year-old) and had even decorated the house with streamers saying 'Welcome back daddy' and flowers that he had gotten out of the woods.
When the party was finished Goten insisted that Piccolo go to bed to rest while he'd clean up. While staring at the ceiling in his room Piccolo decided that he had the best son that anyone could ever ask for. He was so lucky to have Goten and now that this close call had brought them even closer together Piccolo went to sleep smiling and dreamt about the future he and little Goten would have together. Just the two of them, their own happy little family.
Yay! Chapter...what am I up to? Seven? Oh well, whatever number it's done. You didn't actually think that I was going to kill my favourite character did you? More anti-chi-chi chapters coming up but right now I have homework to do so review!
