Gohan and Videl: A sweet surprise

Chapter 11: Videl's secret



Last time...

The three couples also took a walk around the lakes shores, each couple hand in hand and with a dreamy expression on their faces. It was so good to be in love, and Videl and Gohan smiled every time they looked at Barry and Alex.

After all, in a sense they had been responsible that those two had found each other. And that was a good feeling...

Later on they returned to their towels, simply ignored their surroundings and started a round of snogging with their partners.

Yeah, Videl thought, I must ask Bulma this question... I want him!

At the same time Gohan was thinking very similar thoughts about his wife. It was very hard to resist her, the way she was laying besides him, but for the good of their child he was willing to be abstentious. As hard as it was...



Now the continuation...

Some hours later the couples had enough and decided to return home. As they had to return the rented bikes to 'Mike's' Gohan and Videl would accompany Barry, Alex, Sharpener and Erasa back into the inner city.

From there they would fly towards the Satan mansion where they would spent their first night.

Gohan would not admit it, but inwardly he was very glad that they would only spend three months at Satan mansion and not any longer.

Sure, he had gotten used to Hercule and his antics, and most time he (Hercule) would be away, but this man was so erratic...

And sometimes Gohan caught himself asking the question what would have been, if he had told the public that he beat Cell and had proved it?

What would have happened? Sure, he would have gotten all the money, fame and attention, but he was not sure if he had wanted all this.

No, he had never been much of an attention seeker, and maybe it was good that it had come this way.

Hercule had gotten all the fame and money, and he, Gohan, had gotten something so much more valuable than any material goods of this world: a wonderful wife.

But one thing had been funny: after Gohan had told Videl that he had been the one who had killed Cell she had given her father a piece of her mind.

Oh yeah, she had started a good rant how he could have done this, and it had been quite a sight. After Videl had calmed down Hercule had been about the size of a flounder...

Gohan had pointed out that he had not wanted all the fame and attention, and he had said as long as Hercule would use it to do good, that would be okay with him.

Videl had just shaken her head. Sometimes her Gohan really was too good for this world.

But Videl had asked out a condition: if they should ever need money (money that Gohan deserved for he had beaten Cell) than her father had to give it to them.

Hercule had agreed all too gladly. After all, he wanted to help his only daughter and her husband wherever and however he could.

And he had demonstrated this, when Gohan had said he wanted to buy their own land and build a house on their own.

Yeah, Gohan was a happy man. He had a wonderful wife, would soon be a father and they would soon live in their own house.

The only thing that had him worried was the question, if he would be a good father.

Lately he had often talked with Videl about that question, and always Videl had said

'Gohan, you're the worlds best husband, and I am sure that you'll be the worlds best father! I just know it!'

The memory alone made him smile. He loved his wife, and he loved her even more for the reassurance she gave him although she was the one going through all this.

Heck, other people had pulled through this, even Vegeta! And he would manage that too!

"Hey sweetheart, what are you dreaming about?" a voice to his right asked.

"Huh?" he asked, snapping out of his thoughts. He looked to his right, and directly at Videl, who was riding her bike besides him.

Then he smiled.

"Just thinking, my love, just thinking..."

Some minutes later the group arrived at 'Mike's' and handed the bikes back in. Afterwards they talked for some time until they said their good-byes.

All agreed that it had been a wonderful day, and Erasa said that a retake would be nice.

That had caused nodding heads everywhere, and then all had departed towards their different homes.

Videl and Gohan flew back towards the Satan mansion and enjoyed a private supper, as Hercule had still appointments elsewhere.

That was also a fact that made Gohan glad. Had he taken all the fame, he would have had to hurry from appointment to appointment. A rather horrid thought for someone like him who nearly hated attention...

After they were finished with supper Videl looked at Gohan.

"Sweetheart, I'd like to fly over to C.C. and talk some with Bulma." she said.

Gohan looked at her curiously.

"Return to C.C.? We spent nearly the whole last day there. I thought we'd have some time together for us..." he said suggestively.

Videl smiled. If only he knew that she was planning on exactly this, but not only a snogging session as he suggested...

"As much as I'd love to, but I've gotta ask Bulma something about the baby." she said, and registered Gohans concerned look. "Don't worry," she said smiling, "everything is okay." she assured him.

That caused Gohan to look puzzled.

"Then what do you want to ask her if everything is okay?" he asked.

Videls smiled broadened.

"Let a woman have her secrets, Gohan. I'll phone Bulma if it's okay that we come over. As you don't want me to fly alone you'll have to accompany me. But I am sure that Vegeta won't say no to a round of training..."

Gohan was still curious, but when Videl said it in a tone like this he knew that she would not say what she was planning.

He had tried everything to tickle out some information when a situation like that occurred (he had tried his puppy dog eyes, had tried the prince charming approach and and and...).

Nothing had worked. When his wife did not want to tell him what she was planning that was final.

But supposedly he would find out soon enough...

Videl fetched her cell-phone and dialled Bulmas number, and seconds later the genius scientist answered the call.

"Hi, this is Bulma Briefs." she said in her usual cheerful tone.

"Hi Bulma," Videl said smiling, "this is Videl."

"Oh Videl, how are you? Everything all right?" Bulma asked.

Videls smile broadened. They were all so concerned, especially Bulma and Chi-Chi.

Wheew, Videl was quite glad that she had not to stay at the Sons for the three months during which their house was built, or else she did not know if she would have survived that.

Chi-Chi had switched into complete Grandmother-mode the second they had told them that she was pregnant, and Videl had been glad once the barbecue had been over.

Videl hated too much fussing about her, she needed her space to breathe. She had been so glad that Gohan had agreed to live at the Satan mansion for those three months, and they wanted to move in this evening.

The Satan mansion was the perfect solution, for it was so large that Gohan and Videl could live in their own wing.

There they would have their privacy, and as Gohan had enough time until his university courses would begin he'd have enough time to care for Videl.

Also he would have enough time to train with Vegeta, his dad and the chibis, and during this time Videl could spend time with her best friend Erasa or talk with Bulma and Chi-Chi.

Sure, her mother in law was sometimes (okay, most of the time) unnerving, but she meant well.

Videl understood her, Chi-Chi would be a grandmother for the first time and could, as a mother, give valuable tips, but on the other hand she had to accept that she, Videl was the one who was pregnant.

She needed some room to live and breathe, so she had made clear that too much fussing about her was not allowed.

That had resulted in a heated discussion at the barbecue, but in the end Chi-Chi had accepted that she had to let her daughter-in-law her own scope for development.

"Yeah, everything is fine, Bulma. I just wanted to know, can Gohan and I come over? I have one question I wanted to ask you, and I can't do it via phone. You know, it's... umm... a private question." Videl answered Bulmas question.

Videl could nearly hear the smile from the other end of the line.

"Well, you know, normally I'd say come right over, but this evening Vegeta and I wanted to go to a restaurant. We have a table tonight. Sorry." Bulma said.

"Hey, I understand that." Videl said, while thinking

How does she get Vegeta in a tux again? Last time he looked ready to kill...

"But you can come over tomorrow any time. And I have a vague guess what this question could be..." Bulma said and let her voice trail of suggestively.

Videl nearly blushed.

"Okay, Bulma. We'll come over after dinner. Tomorrow morning Gohan and I wanted to go into the city. Some city ramble and enjoying the warmth of the sun..."

"Okay, then until tomorrow, you two!" Bulma exclaimed.

"Yeah, bye!" Videl answered, and the two women hung up.

"Uh huh, a city ramble tomorrow..." Gohan said smirking.

"Yeah, I figured that would be nice. Any better ideas, Mr. Son?"

"Right now?" he asked smiling. "Oh yes..." he said and hugged his wife fondly before giving her a fond kiss.

Maybe he would find out tomorrow what she had in mind...

to be continued...


== Next time: Gohan is trying to figure out what Videl is brooding about. Will he succeed? Stay tuned! ==

Thanks for reading! And please review! I will hurry to have the next chappie out at Saturday. Glad that I can write in the train :)

And as always a very special thanks to my beta, who is doing a great job! Thx!



REVIEWERS RESPONSES:



inuyashasdragonballs: Cool that you like it. I'd love to write more and faster, but there's also RL and family. But I quit my whining and hurry.

 

Mr.Staypuft: Thank you. I think your story is good, but I gave a few suggestions...

 

Candy the Duck: Yup, the chappie sure was different, but I had fun writing it...

 

Elincia Nightengale: No prob. I know what being busy means :)

And I would love to read your fic once it's out. Count me in.

 

Rose Vaughn: Thanks! Well, Barry is a nerd, and unlike Gohan he isn't buff, too. Thus he is... presentable.

 

Marshmellow13Dragon: Yup, was off-topic, but I felt like it. Cause we straight guys do have the best fashion sense when it comes to bathing suits for women. Glad that you liked it!

Sarki: Pizza is a good thing :)

 

elf-princess4: More you want, more you get :)

 

Tootsy: That's really good to hear. Yeah, her temper fluctuations (short: mood swings) are starting, and they will get worse evil grin

And once they really start I wanted to describe it exactly the way you picture it: she knows that she overreacted, but she can't do anything against it. Yup, Gohan is in for trouble, and Hercule will run and hide :)

 

animeprincess1452: Thanks! As for more to read, here you go!

 

GOGI: I think I wrote in some chapter that it will take 3 months until their own house is ready, so they have to cover this time. But Hercule will be away most of the time, cause he doesn't wanna get in harms way once Videl's hormones start raging for real :)

 

Dooleys: Yeah, that's really cool. And though I am married that does not mean that I am dead (meaning that I am faithful, but I do look). And we straight guys really have the best taste for bathing suits for women, heh...

Till then, and have a nice vacation!
