Chapter Three-The Luckiest Guy In The World

Goku rubbed Goten' s shoulder gently as he tried to comfort him.

"Son, Its ok...Everything will be alright, you'll see"

Goten didn't move a muscle, nor show any reaction to his fathers words. He remained clung to his mother; feeling that nothing would happen to him whilst he remained with her. Even though Goten never told her, whenever he was with Chi-Chi she made him feel safe. She was his protector and had a way of making the whole world disappear whenever he hugged her.

"Goten. Your father is right. Don't worry you are coming back home with me and your dad. Right Goku?" said Chi-Chi before giving a look to her husband, signalling him to agree.

"Yes, of course. You know your always welcome back home whenever you want Goten" said Goku.

"I can't imagine what it's like to have lost a lover and a child at the same time...I'm sorry Goten" said Trunks sadly with his head bowed.

Goten immediately lifted his head, his mothers arm still on his back as he turned to face Trunks.

"What? Trunks, I didn't loose my child"

"What? You didn't? Well...at least something good has come out of...all this" said Trunks, being careful not to upset Goten as Trunks had a bad habit in offending someone without meaning to.

"Really? I'm not so sure" said Goten sadly

"What? Don't say that Goten" said Goku slightly shocked that his son would say such a thing.

"Well it's true dad. I know that I have a child to care for now but I really don't think I can do this without Osaka" said Goten sadly avoiding his mothers gaze. But he could tell she was giving him the 'I can't believe you would say such a thing' look.

"I'm serious mom, I can't be a father to this...problem that caused my wife's death, so don't look at me that way" He scowled refusing to look at his mom.

"Goten! There was no need for that! You may not want to see your child but I want to see my grandchild!" Chi-Chi fumed as she left the corridor to the baby ward, with Goku by her side telling her to calm down.

Goten watched his mom and dad leave and he sighed, his gaze focused on the floor. He felt that today was not going to get any better. Gohan and Trunks looked at each other then at Goten.

"Goten look at me..." said Gohan firmly. Goten knew now that today was Definitely not going to get better. Goten was going to protest, the way he used to when they were younger. He didn't look at Gohan he only kept his gaze on the floor.

"Goten..." Gohan repeated more sternly and Goten looked up at his brother slowly.

"Look I know your heartbroken but you have a baby in there" Gohan pointed in the direction that Chi-Chi and Goku went. "Your Child is going to depend on you a lot...and you cannot abandon your responsibilities as a father" Trunks noticed that Gohan and Goten were beginning to get dangerously close to each other. And he was starting to get nervous about it.

"What do you know Gohan? I don't think you can possibly relate to my problem so back off!" growled Goten angrily

"Maybe I can't but at least I know what's important! And I'm not afraid to see my child just because she may look like my wife" Gohan yelled before storming off down the corridor. The last sentence made Goten' s insides freeze over. He knew his brother was right to a certain extent. He guessed that he was avoiding to see Gozukai because she may remind him of Osaka. However, even though he thought about it, it sounded much worse coming from his own brother.

"Goten? Are you not curious to see what your child looks like?" asked Trunks after the awkward silence had lingered too long.

"I don't understand him Goku, why would he say those things about her? It's as if he blames his own child for something that wasn't her fault." said Chi-Chi sadly as she cradled her grand-daughter in her arms.

"I don't know Chi-Chi. I just hope that he'll be ok, whatever happens..." replied Goku. There was a brief pause before Chi-Chi turned to Goku.

"Here you are Goku, You can hold her" she handed the small infant to it's grandfather and Goku took Gozukai in his arms. He smiled as he watched her sleep, after a short while he looked at Chi-Chi with a confused expression on his face.

"Chi-Chi...look" He pointed out that on the baby's bottom was a small bump which seemed to move. Goku rubbed his thumb over it gently and it shuddered.

"Goku, What is that?" asked Chi-Chi shocked.

"I think...It may be a tail"

"What? A...tail? How is that possible? She's not a full sayian, well not like you. So how does she have a tail!" exclaimed Chi-Chi, clearly in shock.

"I don't know how this is possible Chi-Chi, but it is. I reckon that she must have more of the sayian gene than she should have and by the looks of things...maybe more than her dad. But we will only find that out when she's older and shows her true strength in the martial arts." said Goku watching the small baby in his arms, wondering how much power such a small infant can have. Chi-Chi was silenced by Goku' s words and looked at Gozukai sleeping.

All of a sudden Gohan entered the room, his face solemn and cold.

"That guy has serious problems...I don't know what he's going to do now that he's a father" growled Gohan to his mother.

"He's just upset, don't worry I'm sure he'll come around" said Goku not lifting his eyes from his grand-daughter.

"Is that her?" Gohan asked as he looked at his niece over his fathers shoulder.

"Yes, she's cute isn't she?" asked Chi-Chi smiling

"Yeah, she clearly doesn't get it from her dad" Gohan chuckled

"Well she's got her mother's eyes and by the looks of things she has her fathers nose..." said Chi-Chi tilting her head to one side.

"Has Goten given her a name?" asked Gohan curiously.

"Her name is Gozukai" Goten said, standing in the doorway with Trunks beside him.

"Gozukai? What a beautiful name" said Chi-Chi looking at Gozukai.

Goten looked at the small girl in Goku' s arms. She was so small, with five digits on each of her two hands and feet. Her hair was barely visible. She carried both the looks from her mom and her dad. At the moment Gozukai lay fast asleep in Goku' s arms. Goku sideway glanced at his son and watched him survey his daughter.

"Would you like to hold her?" Goku asked.

"I...Don't know dad...I..." Goten was about to refuse but then looked at Chi-Chi and then turned back to his dad. "...Yeah sure" Goku smiled and transferred the baby into Goten' s arms.

"Mind her head" Chi-Chi added as they all watched Goten hold his daughter.

The feelings that Goten had at the moment were indescribable. He looked down as his daughter continued to sleep, he noticed how her chest was rising and falling in a rhythmical movement. Her breathing was quiet and soothing to listen to. She then stirred and opened her eyelids to reveal two dark brown orbs looking directly at Goten. She then yawned not breaking her eye contact with him. She was so beautiful he felt happy inside, despite Osaka's death. Gozukai was like a little miracle to Goten. And he could not help but let a small smile crawl across his face.

Trunks came up to Goten and looked at the small girl.

"Awww, she is so cute. Hello Gozukai. I'm Trunks." he cooed in a tender baby voice, also waving a finger in front of Gozukai making her smile and giggle at him. "You must be proud Goten, congratulations" Trunks smiled.

"Thanks, Trunks. I am proud. Gozukai is my daughter and nothing is going to tear us apart" said Goten. He was still watching Gozukai as she gripped onto his finger firmly and yawned once again.

'Wow she has a strong grip, considering she was only born 3 hours ago' .

Goten was unaware that Chi-Chi and Goku were exchanging glances to each other based on Goten' s previous comment, smiling at each other.

As Goten held Gozukai he began to think, that even though he lost a loved one he still felt like the most luckiest guy in the world.
