Author Notes:

1) Here is my second chapter, sorry it has taken me so long to update my story.

2) I know this chapter is a little long winded but it had to be done.

3) You're all smart so you should all know by now that I do not own anything DragonballZ related except the characters of Osaka and Gozukai.

Chapter Two- Saying Goodbye

Goten just couldn't go through with it, he couldn't say goodbye to Osaka. He loved her with all his heart and the fact that she was dieing was tearing him apart. At the present moment he found it difficult to move, it was as though his legs were paralysed and his mind shut down.

It took Goten all the courage he could muster to be able to leave the nurses office. He walked out into the hall where he and his father had been sitting, there was no emotion shown in his face and no words came from his mouth.

Goten just kept focus on the double doors, which led to Osaka's room. Goku stood up and looked at Goten, searching his face for the nurse's conclusion.

"Son?" Said Goku quietly, walking slowly up to Goten and placing a hand on his shoulder. Goten did not speak but he drew a deep breath and walked slowly into his wife's room. Goku remained glued to the spot watching the double doors swing shut behind Goten.

As Goten entered the room he could feel the unnerving presence. He always felt this way in hospitals. But today this presence was much darker and suppressing, than Goten had ever experienced before. Goten walked slowly up to his wife's bedside.

The nurse was right; she did look frail. Her skin seemed to grow paler by each fading second. Her brown hair was all over the place, and the small beads of sweat on her forehead glistened in the hospital light.

Goten sat beside her and placed a hand on hers. He was fighting back the tears but was finding it very difficult. Just then Goten felt a hand squeeze his and he looked at Osaka.

Ever so slowly Osaka's eyes fluttered open, her brown eyes surveyed the room and then her gaze fell upon Goten; she smiled and said quietly.

"She's beautiful, Goten...wait until you see her".

Goten' s eyes immediately filled with tears, and he quickly wiped them away with the sleeve on his jacket.

"Hey, what is this? Goten...We both knew what would happen to me if things didn't work out" Cooed Osaka as Goten buried his face in her chest.

"This...Isn't fair..." He choked out.

"I know tell me about it" Osaka chuckled lightly and rolled her eyes.

"It's unfair that...You have to be the one...It should be me..." Said Goten in a choked murmur.

"Well Goten I know your half sayian but unless you have developed the power to push a baby the size of a melon from in-between your legs, then I don't think you could have been any help to me, no matter how much you may have want to" Osaka stroked the back of Goten' s hair comfortingly and then she took a deep gasping breath and shut her eyes. Goten took a step back and looked at Osaka.

"What's wrong?" He asked alarmed.

"Nothing-It's just- it's nearly time"

"There has to be a way around this...There has to be...Wait a second. The Dragonballs! That's it! I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. If we can..." Goten began, his excitement growing. He looked at his wife, but somehow she wasn't as excited as he was.

"Goten...I don't want you to bring me back with the Dragonballs"

"What? W-Why not?" Said Goten deflated

"Because it will take so long for you to find them" said Osaka after exhaling painfully again.

"So? I'll traipse the entire universe to find them, I don't care what I have to do...as long as it brings you back" Goten knelt beside her and gripped her hand.

Osaka shook her head as she felt her husband's warm hand. She immediately felt a prang of guilt, She loved Goten but despite how much she hated to say these things, they had to be said.

"No.Goten...No, you cant...Your a father now-Your little girl needs you, you cant leave

her years on end to go searching for Dragonballs."

"I can...If I can get Trunks, Pan, Gohan and my dad...We can find them in no time at all"

Said Goten, there was a distinct hint of desperation in his voice; Desperation for Osaka to

nod and agree with his plan but she wasn't nodding or agreeing.

Osaka looked at her husband and took another deep breath, she wasn't going to last much longer.

"Goten, When you were little...what did you feel towards your father when he was absent from your life for all those years?" She felt her husband stiffen solidly, he took away his hand from hers and was silent. Goten' s face was grave and he closed his eyes, reflecting on his past. He gulped slightly at the remembrance of it all and opened his eyes.

"I-I was upset. Angry at times, I knew why he was away but... I was upset that he was never there for me when I needed him."

Osaka raised her eyebrows at him in a 'See what I mean' look. The way she did when they were living together and the certain times when Goten acted arrogant. Goten looked back at her realizing what she meant.

"You-You're right Osaka, I can't believe this though...I don't want you to leave me...I love you so much..."

"I know, I love you too Goten, but...I have to go"

"But why?" Goten cried out quietly.

"Because it's my time to go...Promise me something Goten"

"Anything"

"Promise me you'll look after her for me...and love her, the way I would have"

"Ok" Goten sniffed and wiped his eyes once again.

"Thankyou. You know, We haven't decided upon a name for her yet...Any ideas?"

"Yes, I thought about it and...Why don't we name her after your great- grandmother...Gozukai...When you mentioned it before, I took a great liking to it" said Goten looking at his wife. She looked up at him, smiled warmly and took Goten' s hand once more gripping it tightly.

"I did too...Gozukai...Yes...That's perfect" She looked into Goten' s eyes and kissed him. He caressed her soft lips, savouring their kiss; sub-consciously knowing that this would be the last kiss they would share together. After a few moments Goten and Osaka pulled away and smiled at each other. "I love you Goten...With all my heart, and no force on heaven or earth can change that otherwise..."

Goten felt a huge urge to cry his heart out and sob out his undying love for his wife. But he fought it back and tried to be as brave as he could.

"I'll-Always-Be-With-You" With her final words Goten could hold it back no longer, he felt streams of tears run down his face as; Osaka took a shuddering breath and her eyes slowly closed. Goten felt her loosened grip in his hand and he couldn't hear her breath anymore. Goten never felt so low in all his life. He closed his hand around hers and kissed her forehead.

"I will always love you, Osaka"

He walked to the door, and looked back to take one last look at her. She looked so peaceful, and if it was possible, just as beautiful in death than in life. Goten left the room staring at the floor, and felt the presence of several people standing in front of him. He slowly looked up and he saw his father, his mother Chi-Chi, his brother Gohan and his best friend Trunks.

"She's-Gone. She's dead" he choked out, before burying his face in his mother shoulder. Chi-Chi looked down at her son sadly, feeling the tears build up in her eyes as she looked at him. She rubbed her youngest son's back comfortingly, the way she did whenever he was upset when he was a child. And they were all silent, the only noises that could be heard was the bleeping of hospital machinery and Goten' s sobs.

*******************

*Sob* such a sad chapter. It is quite soppy but it can't be helped, seeing as Osaka is dead. Will update as soon as I can. Please review this chapter and tell me what you think.

Third chapter is on the way.......!
