My Little Princess

Chapter One- A different Goten

Goten began to pace the room frantically, his messy hair was even more tangled than usual, there were dark rings under his eyes from worry that made him look older than his father. But all Goku could do was sit back and assure his son that everything was going to be ok.

"What could possibly be taking so long, dad?"

"I'm sure everything's fine Goten, just try not to panic..." said Goku calmly

"Panic? Who's Panicking?! I've never been more relaxed in my life dad!" exclaimed Goten as he looked at his father with wide eyes, Goku knew he wasn't ok, and he didn't blame him in the slightest. Goten took a deep breath he realised he had over reacted but he couldn't help it. He had been bottling up his fears and worries for so long and now they were beginning to surface. He rubbed his eyes roughly and looked at his father.

"I'm sorry dad...I don't know what's going on with me lately..."

"Goten, Look I can't possibly know what your thoughts are at the moment. But I do know what your going through, If you've forgotten I am a father and I remember what a wreck I was like when your mother was in that operating theatre..." Goku then gave a shudder "I hate hospitals they smell funny and they really creep me out"

"Yeah...I know me too" Goten sighed as he sat down next to his dad. He laid his head against the white washed wall and closed his eyes trying to relax. But he couldn't, his wife was in the room opposite giving birth to his child, his first ever child and he wasn't even allowed in, the thought was eating away at him.

Goku turned his head to his son, and looked at him. He was a nervous wreck, Goku remembered how Goten acted when he first found out that Osaka was pregnant. Goten was confused, scared and crazy but above all over the moon, even though he didn't show it at first. Goku smiled weakly before turning back to look at the clock which read '11:43pm' Goten had stayed at the hospital for 10 hours straight and hadn't slept a wink, and refused to return to his parents in case he was needed at the hospital. Goku knew that Goten would make a perfect father he had already shown great strength for both him and Osaka and now he was about to bring up a child. In the past Goten hadn't been one for responsibility but now he was beginning to show everyone a new and different Goten.

Goku' s eyes fluttered shut from exhaustion and he tried to rest. He had stayed with his son for the past 10 hours also but he was growing drowsy and needed sleep. Just then the double doors burst open from the room opposite them.

"Excuse me, Goten?" The Nurse said. Goten sprung up in action

"Yes!?, Yes! What is it? What can I do? What's going on?" He babbled out.

"Can I please have a word?" The Nurse lead Goten into her office, Goten gave a worried look to his father before the nurse shut the door and sat down at her desk, she surveyed the young man in front of her, through her glasses and continued.

"Goten, you and your wife knew the risks of going through with this birth, did you not?

"Y-Yes..." Goten stuttered out

"And yet you both still decided to go through with it?"

"Yes we did, We both felt that it was the right thing to do...We couldn't just get rid of it, we want to keep the baby, to nurture it, see it grow up see it live its own life...And Osaka wanted too despite the risks to herself"

The nurse sighed heavily

"Well, I have some good news and some bad news but I'm afraid your not going to like it"

"Go on...Tell me...What's happened?" Goten mumbled as he hid his head in his lap, afraid at what she was going to say and afraid that his thoughts were about to become reality.

"Your wife has given birth to a beautiful baby girl...But...I'm afraid that the procedure has left your wife in such a frail position that...She won't survive the night...I am sorry Goten"

Goten froze in shock, he had a feeling that this was going to happen but he didn't expect this reaction. In his thoughts he expected himself to cry, scream and run to his wife but he didn't he just sat as silence surrounded him. The nurse stood up and put a hand on his shoulder

"You may see you wife when you feel you are ready, I know she wants to see you"

The Nurse left him and shut the door leaving Goten in silence to be with his thoughts.
