Piccolo snorted as Chi Chi rode the cloud next to him. She looked over at him and then he said I hope your ready to be coddled, I'm sure everyone was worried about you. I didn't mean to worry anyone; I just had to get my answers, for my own sanity; and for my babies. You still call Gohan your baby? He's nearly a man. Piccolo said to her. Chi Chi smiled and then said yes I know, but that doesn't change the fact that he's my son does it? He stared at her and then she closed her eyes and smiled. He's precious to me, and this baby is going to be precious to me as well. They are all I have left of Goku. She certainly changed her tune; I wonder what the old woman showed her. Ah there's capsule corp. Chi Chi said as the cloud descended. She hopped off and said thank you nimbus! The cloud flew off and then Piccolo said let's get back inside, and get ready to hear Bulma's mouth. Chi Chi! Bulma said when she saw Chi Chi come inside. Where did you go? I'm sorry Bulma, I just had to go see Baba, and I spoke to Goku. You spoke to dad? Gohan said running into the room. Chi Chi smiled at him and nodded. What did he have to say? Bulma said leading Chi Chi to a sofa. Well Chi Chi began we argued about why he didn't come back, she turned to Gohan, Your father loves you very much Gohan. I can see what he's trying to do, but it still hurts me. However, she continued pulling Gohan close to her I have two things to live for.

My son and my unborn child. She finished kissing Gohan's forehead. Wow mom am I really going to have a younger brother or sister? Gohan exclaimed. Chi Chi nodded and said yes you are. Bulma said are you going to take up my offer and stay here with us? Chi Chi thought for a second and then she said yes Bulma I think I will stay. If you are going to stay then make sure you don't pull another of those stunts again. Vegeta said walking into the room glaring at Chi Chi. Why Vegeta I didn't know you cared. Chi Chi said with a smirk, I don't. He replied I just don't want to hear the woman crying and whining about it. Not to mention how worried I felt, what the hell is going on?! Chi Chi looked over at Bulma and then Bulma just shrugged. Are you hungry Chi? You should be. Trying to fatten me up so soon? Chi Chi said with a giggle. Vegeta said no you idiot, your child is going to be half sayian, so he'll be the one fattening you up. He? Chi Chi said, are you sure it's going to be a boy? I want a little girl. Too bad woman, I'm sure it's going to be another idiot like its father. Chi Chi jumped up and nearly caught Vegeta in the face with a vicious left hook. Don't talk about Goku or my baby that way you little fuck! Vegeta laughed as she tried to attack him again and said after you give birth I'll give you a chance to fight with me. I don't need to wait I'll do it right now! She retorted. Vegeta moved out of her way again and then Bulma shouted Vegeta! He turned to look at her and Chi Chi kicked him in the gut. Bulma winked at Chi Chi and she smiled. Really you need to grow up Vegeta. Bulma sighed. Vegeta growled at the both of them and then marched off to the GR room. Chi Chi smirked and then said, I guess I'll get started on dinner. Chi Chi! Bulma cried you're supposed to be resting. Chi Chi shrugged and said I feel fine, I can do it. Gohan laughed at his mother and said some habits just die hard Bulma. Bulma just sighed and then picked baby trunks up.

Later that evening Chi Chi sat down to dinner with the Briefs family. Oh my Chi Chi this is really good. Mrs. Briefs said cheerfully. Thank you Chi Chi said with a smile. She looked around and then said Bulma, doesn't Vegeta eat dinner as well? Bulma snorted and said If I could get him out of the GR to give it to him as soon as it was done I would. Chi Chi's eyes narrowed and said he should sit with the family during dinner. She stood up and marched towards the GR. Bulma raced after her saying Chi Chi don't disturb him! Like hell I won't. Chi Chi growled speeding up. Bulma shouted Chi Chi! She turned around while still walking and then bumped into someone. She looked up and there was the prince himself. There you are Chi Chi said she grabbed his arm and tried to pull him. Come on she said angrily come eat dinner! Vegeta said get your hands off of me harpy. Bulma sighed and then sat back and watched. Two Stubborn fools going at it, this will take awhile. No come and sit with the family. I intend to eat my dinner, but I will do it alone not in the company of those fools. Chi Chi looked shocked for a second and said who are you calling fools? The Briefs? They're kind people, and Dr Briefs is a genius! On your planet maybe, he is the average person anywhere else. The woman is above average, but then that's not saying much either. You are such an arrogant cold asshole! Chi Chi said angrily to him, if they are such fools why don't you get a job to support yourself?! Why should I if they let me live here for free? He said with a smirk. Chi Chi slapped him in his face hard enough to leave a mark. Harpy, you are testing my patience. Damn that actually hurt. She snorted and then turned her back to him and walked over to Bulma. Let him starve it's what he deserves. Chi Chi muttered. Bulma smiled at her and then looked back at Vegeta. He seemed to be in shock as he touched his face. Chi Chi packs a punch doesn't she? Bulma called. We're going to eat now, you can starve. As soon as they were both in the kitchen, Vegeta smirked it's going to be fun having that woman here.

The next morning Chi Chi woke up in the room Bulma provided for her and went into the bathroom. After that she opened her window and flew out to the lawn. She stretched and then starting doing some light kata. Bulma awoke in the morning in bed and found Vegeta still asleep. Must've stayed in GR room until ungodly hours of the morning. Vegeta turned over and opened his eyes and found Bulma looking down at his face. Good morning my prince.Bulma said to him planting a kiss on his forehead. He grunted in response and then stood up. Bulma smiled as she got a nice view of his toned backside. She trailed her fingers down his back to his tail spot. He let out a groan as she brushed it with her fingers. Woman. Vegeta growled. Bulma smiled wider and continued to tease him until a wail was heard. Bulma sighed and then said ok Trunks mommy's coming. Vegeta growled as he pulled on his boxers and said you owe me woman. Bulma just nodded her head and she picked Trunks up from his crib. Hungry aren't you? She said to him. Trunks wailed in response and she said ok ok. Chi Chi came back into the house and washed her hands downstairs. She heard Trunks wailing and decided to help Bulma out by fixing breakfast. She pot up some pots and went into the freezer. She tossed some bacon into a pan and then fixed some pancake batter and put that on a griddle she saw plugged into the wall. She then found some eggs and made scrambled eggs. She turned and put out plates and ups on the table and then put some tea up as well. Bulma heard everything going on downstairs and said I guess moms up already, it's kinda early. I realize this woman. Vegeta said with a yawn. Bulma changed Trunks's diaper and said I'm going down now your highness. Vegeta grunted and stood up. Bulma came down the stairs and went into the kitchen. She gasped when she saw all the food that was prepared in a record amount of time. Wow mom you really out did yourself! Bulma called. Vegeta followed and said yes she should do it like this all the time.

Thanks Bulma Chi Chi said with a chuckle. Chi Chi?! You should be in bed resting! Bulma said scolding her. Bulma, Chi Chi said with a smile, I'm pregnant, not sick with the flu. She said with a smirk. Now sit down and eat up before it gets cold. Vegeta sat down and Chi Chi piled food onto his plate. Then she fixed Bulma's plate and cut up some food for Trunks, put some more food aside for Gohan and the briefs and then finally fixed herself a small helping. Bulma sighed and said Chi Chi I can't eat this much…Vegeta growled and then switched their plates. What are you trying to do starve your brat woman?! Chi Chi glared at him and then started to eat. Gohan got up and went into the kitchen. Hey Kiddo. Bulma said with a smile. Hi Bulma, good morning Vegeta. Vegeta just grunted. Chi Chi got up and handed her son his share of the food. Thanks mom. Gohan said. Chi Chi said hurry up and finish, I think Piccolo is waiting for you outside. Bulma raised an eyebrow at Chi Chi's behavior, but said nothing. Chi Chi ate only half of her food and then stood up and threw out the rest and started to walk away from the table. Harpy. Vegeta said. Chi Chi stopped and turned around. You need to eat more. He said. I'm not hungry Chi Chi replied dully, I'm going outside call me if you need me. Bulma sighed as she cleared the table. Something's wrong.

She's mourning for that third class loser. Vegeta replied. Now that her anger is gone, only the sadness remains. Bulma sighed and then said I'll just have to take her mind off of all this.

I bet you've never imagined

That one day

You'd look around

& I just wouldn't be there

So I hear you're leavin'

Please, don't go

I wanna make it right

Cuz tomorrow is just not promised

You'll never know what tomorrow holds

You'll just never know

To put it off till tomorrow today (stay)

Make it last (make it last)

Always (always)

Chi Chi sighed as she walked down the hall in capsule corp. She stopped a photo of the entire gang and she sighed. Look at all of us in this picture; we were all so young and so full of hope. I thought I was going to have Goku with me forever. I remember this, it was a month before I knew about Gohan .Goku…Chi Chi touched the picture of him and then drew her hand back. I really need to get a hold of myself, for this baby's sake. Bulma walked down the hall and said Chi Chi! Chi Chi turned and said oh Bulma, what's up? Chi chi are you alright? Bulma said softly. Hmm? What do you mean Bulma? I'm fine. Chi Chi said sounding puzzled. Bulma frowned and then touched Chi Chi's cheek and showed her that her fingers were wet. Have I been crying this whole time? Bulma sighed and then said I know what to do. She clapped her hands together. We'll throw a big party, to celebrate Goku's life. How's that? Chi Chi thought about it for a moment and then looked up at Bulma. I don't know if I can handle that right now, but then again maybe it will cheer me up. I have to try something, I can't seem to eat and I don't want my baby to die.

Alright Bulma, let's throw a party. Chi Chi said with a smile. Bulma said alright! She grabbed Chi Chi's hand and went to the phone book. Vegeta came out of the GR a few hours later and said what the fuck is going on? We're throwing a party. Bulma said for Goku. Vegeta looked over at Chi Chi and then said woman come here for a moment. Bulma followed Vegeta out of the room and then closed the door. Vegeta said do you honestly think that a party is a good idea? Sure Bulma said she'll dance and eat and not have to worry about anything for a few hours. If she can handle seeing all these people and the pity they are going to be feeling for her. Vegeta thought to himself. Alright woman. Bulma smiled and said so you'll be coming as well? We all know how much you hate being around other people. I don't like being around other fools. Vegeta replied but I guess I should at least show up to eat. Ten minutes and then I am going back in the Gr. I'm so pleased you'll make an appearance. Bulma said dryly. You should be. Vegeta answered back with a smirk it's not everyday I lower myself down to your standards. Bulma took off her shoe and chucked it at him. He dodged it and walked away laughing. Bulma sighed and then walked back into the room Chi Chi was in. Bulma went down the list of people she called and people she needed to call. After that was done Bulma grabbed Chi Chi's arm and said come on let's go get ready.

Later that evening the entire gang was over in the yard at Capsule Corp. Tienshinhan and Lunch were the first to arrive and were followed by Krillen and 18, Yamcha and a date, Master Roshi, Oolong, Puar, Dende, Mr Popo, And the Ox King arrived. Vegeta snorted and went outside and saw all of them there. Bulma will be out in a moment with the harpy. She said to help yourselves to the food. Everyone started to eat and music was put on. Chi Chi looked outside from the window in Bulma's room. She was afraid of going outside in the dress that Bulma had given her. Bulma said come on Chi, lets get downstairs, everyone except Piccolo and Gohan are back. Chi Chi nodded nervously and then headed downstairs. The first person to see Chi Chi was Vegeta and he was in pure shock. Chi Chi had on a shirt black Chinese print dress with red flowers embroidered into the fabric and she had on a pair of stiletto shoes. Her hair was left loose and she had on red lipstick and a light dusting of blush and sparkly eye shadow. She looks uncomfortable, but she does look good. Wow Chi Chi you look great master Roshi said slyly walking up to her. Don't even think about it pervert. She hissed and then she smiled at Krillen and 18. It's nice to finally meet you. Chi Chi said with a smile. 18 looked surprised but responded with a yeah. Lunch how are you?! Chi Chi said happily grabbing her in a hug. I'm doing good Chi Chi lunch said touching Chi Chi's tummy. How have you been doing? Well, I'm living Chi Chi replied with a bit of a wistful smile. Tien how are you? I'm ok, and yourself? I'm fine. Chi Chi said softly. Doesn't look that way. He thought to himself. He smiled at Chi Chi and said I'm glad to hear it. Meanwhile Yamcha and Krillen were having a conversation.

I really don't know what Goku was thinking on this one. Yamcha said watching Chi Chi talk to Tien and Lunch. Krillen shrugged and said I guess he figured Chi Chi was a strong woman, she practically raised Gohan on her own. That's true Yamcha said taking a gulp of beer, but do you think she can handle another one on her own? She hides her sorrow well enough, but I've heard she hasn't been eating like she should. Yamcha nodded and then said I can understand that, she loved Goku so much. Do you think she's going to date again? Yamcha whispered to Krillen. What kind of question is that?! Both Yamcha and 18 cried. Yamcha's date humped and walked away. I don't know I was just curious. Chi Chi always was a looker. Kami Yamcha the woman just lost her husband and she's pregnant with his kid. She has enough problems without you chasing after her. Chi Chi walked away from Tien and Lunch and looked around. Almost everyone here was with a date. She hugged herself as she levitated up to the roof of Capsule Corp. She sat down on a ledge and stared up at the stars. I miss you I miss you so much it hurts. Can you see how much this hurts me?

My pride

My destiny

I find a peace of mind when you're next to me

You changed my darkest sky

With the ?clean from your arm?

Simply smilin' on me

Makes my life complete

So what's the use in fussin', fightin'

When if you ever leave me

I'd be so weak

Oh baby

Please understand when when I go to sleep at nite

I wanna know that everything is all right

You'll never know

You'll just never know

To put it off till tomorrow today

Make it last forever, forever & always

Piccolo spotted people In the yard of Capsule Corp as he and Gohan returned from their training. Oh wow look at everyone their all here. Piccolo scanned the yard and said everyone except for your mother. Bulma was looking for Chi Chi and said has anyone seen Chi Chi? She was just here. Lunch replied looking around. Piccolo landed on the roof behind Chi Chi and saw her staring up at the sky. I see you're enjoying the solitude up here. Chi Chi turned around and gasped. Piccolo you startled me. He said you should be down there with everyone else, not up here alone. Now is the worse time for you to be alone. I feel alone, when I am with everyone. All those couples…Chi Chi started shaking her head and bringing one hand to her face. To have to raise this baby alone, and take care of Gohan. No one knows my sorrow .She whispered. Piccolo sighed. What the hell can I say to her? I've never been in a situation anywhere near this.

You have Gohan, and you have Bulma. All of those people that you know and have known for a long time. Chi Chi you even have me. Chi Chi turned around and looked at him with surprise. We might not have gotten along all of the time, but you are Gohan's mother, and Goku's wife. The least I could do is help you out a little. Thank you. Chi Chi said with a sad smile. I appreciate that, I really do. It's just not the same without him. He won't ever hug me or kiss me again. He'll never tell me how good my cooking is, or ask me for more. I'll even miss arguing with him. It's ok to mourn Chi Chi. Piccolo said. Just remember, you already have a son who depends on you, and you have another on the way. Don't let your sorrow bring you or them down. Chi Chi looked up at him and then he said I've heard from Gohan about how you're not eating. When I say I'll help you that includes force feeding you. Chi Chi let out a humph but smiled. Same old Piccolo she signed and the glanced up at the stars.
