Hey everyone I bet you didn't think I was gonna come back again I decided that regardless of what everyone else

thought about my story I was really writing it for me, so screw what everyone else thought.

Well Chi you're lucky this time. The baby is very healthy. Bulma said after checking out the sonogram. Chi Chi nearly cried for joy and then she said I don't think I'll be going out with you anymore. Bulma turned to look at Chi Chi and then said why? You can always come out with us without having to drink. Chi Chi nodded and said I know, but I don't want to be a killjoy. I've got other things I need to take care of anyway. Speaking of other things where is my son? Gohan? He's outside with Piccolo. Bulma said Then she smirked so what's going on with you and Piccolo any way? Bulma Chi Chi sighed. Ok ok I'll send them in but I expect answers later! She replied and then left the room. Gohan came in a second later and then said Mom are you alright? Chi Chi smiled warmly at Gohan and said yes Gohan I'm fine. I was being stupid, but I'm fine and so is the baby.

Piccolo snorted and then said I should drop you off of Kami's lookout for your stupidity. Chi Chi glared at him and said I'm not a teenager I can take care of myself. You did such an excellent job of showing me last night. Piccolo replied. Shut up! Chi Chi snapped I said I wasn't going to do it anymore. Piccolo snorted and then said you say that now. I better not have to carry you home from a club again. Stupid woman. What did you just say to me! Chi Chi shouted. Gohan watched this go on and then looked at them strangely. Chi Chi noticed Gohan's face and said what's wrong? Huh? Nothing. Gohan said. He walked over to his mother and placed his hands on her stomach. She smiled down at him and said are you ready to be a big brother? Gohan sighed and said yeah. Too bad dad won't be here.

Six months passed by like a few days.. Chi Chi was showing a lot now and everyone thought she looked really pretty. She has that motherly glow. Bulma remarked from a window looking out at Chi Chi. Bulma had asked Chi Chi to watch baby trunks for her while she worked in the lab. Chi Chi was sitting outside on a blanket with little Trunks. Trunks was trying to walk while Chi Chi was holding him. Good boy! Chi Chi exclaimed as Trunks walked halfway across the blanket with her help. Trunks giggled happily until he fell on his butt. Then he whined and scowled. Just like your dad. Chi Chi said with a smile. He glared at her and she said Oh I'm sorry your highness.

Trunks pointed to the basket she had with some food inside. Oh I see you're hungry Trunks? Trunks whined and then she said alright alright. Chi Chi placed him in her lap and took out his food. She started to feed him and she spoke softly to him. So Trunks what do you think I'm going to have? Trunks looked up at her and she smiled at him. Maybe I'll have a little girl and you two can get married how about that? Trunks let out a giggle and then Chi Chi beamed down at him. You like that idea? Your father would have a fit. Chi Chi wiped his face off and then burped him. You're a lucky boy Trunks. You have a mommy and a daddy to take care of you. When my baby is older, you'll look out for them won't you? Trunks stared up at her and Chi Chi smiled down at him and patted his head. Chi Chi sighed as she thought back on the last few months that has passed by.

After that morning that she found out her baby was ok she stopped going out during the night with the rest of the girls and kept herself inside of the Capsule Corp complex. She and Piccolo got closer and closer as the days went by. Every morning he would come to pick up Gohan to train, and when they returned in the evening she and Piccolo would talk. Vegeta seemed to keep a watchful eye on her, but didn't make any moves to be closer to her than an occasional argument. Tien, Krillen and Master Roshi all pitied Chi Chi and her situation. She knew that and tried to avoid them at all costs. She didn't feel any malice towards them, but it reminded her of the pain she felt when Goku refused to return to her. As much as she tried to ignore it, the pain was still there. Trunks wailed and Chi Chi looked back down at him. I'm sorry Trunksie I spaced out for a minute. Trunks scowled at her and she smiled. No doubt who your father is. She said with a smile. Trunks gave her another scowl and then started to waddle after a butterfly.

He's a cute little thing, gotta admit Vegeta, you do make some cute kids. Chi Chi smiled and patted her round stomach. I wonder how my baby is going to look, I hope it comes out looking more like me. Gohan takes after his father. Chi Chi watched as Trunks managed to snag the butterfly in his chubby little fingers. Better rescue that insect before Trunks tears it to shreds…or eats it. With a grimace Chi Chi stood up to go after Trunks. Bulma picked up a phone and started to make phone calls. Yeah hi Lunch? Yes the baby shower is still on for tonight, you think you guys can head over here in another hour? Good ok go through the front yard so Chi Chi won't see the decorations and food being brought in. Yeah I know she would insist on cooking if she had any idea what was going on; you have no idea how hard it's been to get her to rest. Vegeta had to practically drag her into the house so she would stop doing kata. Well I don't think it would harm the baby either, but she does it nonstop for a couple of hours.

Ok Lunch so just be sure that everyone comes over in about another two hours. I don't know how long I can keep Chi Chi distracted. Ok Lunch see you soon bye. Bulma hung up the phone with a click and got up to head out of the lab. So what are you planning anyway woman? Vegeta! I hate it when you sneak up on me like that! Bulma hissed. If you're sense weren't so dull you would've sensed me here ten minutes ago. What are you plotting? It's not a plot it's a party Vegeta. Bulma said with a wag of her finger. Does that mean I have to be surrounded by a whole bunch of idiots? Didn't we do that last week? That was six and a half months ago Vegeta. Bulma said with a scowl. It won't kill you to hang around with the gang for another night. No but it might kill them. Vegeta replied with a smirk. You lay a hand on anyone and I swear you'll be sleeping on the couch for a month.

Woman, you do realize that I've slept in places less comfortable than your "couch". Vegeta said with a snort. Oh yeah well how about I take apart the gravity room for a month as well. You wouldn't dare. Vegeta said with an evil frown. Try me Bulma said with an equally evil glint n her eye. Fine woman, one night with your infernal friends. I don't want to have to do this for another six months afterwards. Fine. Bulma hissed stalking out of the room. I have a lot I need to get done, do me a favor and make sure Chi Chi stays outside with Trunks? Fine, but I'll be expecting something in return for having to deal with the harpy. I'd expect nothing less from you Vegeta. Bulma said with a flip of her hair. Vegeta walked over to the window and watched Chi Chi sit with Trunks in her arms.

Are you sleepy Trunks? Chi Chi said softly as Trunks nuzzled her chest. He whimpered softly and settled against her chest. That's a good idea, I'm a little sleepy myself. Chi Chi whispered. We'll take a little nap and then we can have something to eat. Vegeta watched as Chi Chi laid down on the blanket with Trunks in her arms. That could've been my child she was carrying. I don't know Kakorot at first I supported your decision, but even I can't help feeling that maybe you should be here for the harpy. A warm breeze blew through the Capsule corp. complex. It picked up and gently wove through Chi Chi's hair making it flow like streamers. Vegeta gazed at Chi Chi. She could've been a sayain woman. He murmured again. It was defiantly not the first time he said it, and chances are it wouldn't be the last.

Within the next hour Lunch, Tien, Catalina, Yamcha, Krillen, Master Roshi, 18, 17, Choatzu, Korin, Yajarobi, and Dende arrived at Capsule corp. Bulma smiled as the boys brought in the tables and chairs for the event. Vegeta snorted as he sensed the Z fighters presence. Up in the clouds Piccolo and Gohan both descended towards Capsule Corp. Everyone knew about the baby shower Bulma was planning except of course for Chi Chi. It was very hard to keep a secret from Chi Chi thought, so they decided to move the date up a month to make sure she didn't find out about it and spoil the surprise. Piccolo spotted Chi Chi sleeping on the ground with baby Trunks. He allowed himself a small smile as he gazed down on her peaceful face. Vegeta snorted as he saw the namek land down beside Chi Chi. He knew that Chi Chi liked the namek, but he was determined to keep them apart.

Chi Chi felt a presence above her so she began to wake up. She opened her eyes and caught Piccolo smiling down at her. She blinked and then the smile was gone. How are you feeling? Piccolo said in a gruff voice. I'm alright, a little hungry, but I'm fine. She smiled up at him and he turned away. You relax out here for a little while longer. Chi Chi tore her gaze away from Piccolo. Over the last six months, he seemed to try to distance himself from Chi Chi despite the obvious fact that his feelings for her had grown. Still anytime I need him, he's always around. She thought to herself as she stood up. Trunks protested in her arms. He awoke a moment later and started wailing. There there, she said smiling down at him and rocking him in her arms. Trunks continued to wail. Chi Chi frowned and checked his diaper.Bingo. She reached into a diaper bag and proceeded to change the dirty diaper.

Gohan landed down next to Piccolo and his mother. Hello Gohan. Chi Chi said with a bright smile. Did you have something to eat? Yeah mom Piccolo and I hunted. Gohan answered. Chi Chi nodded. Go get cleaned up and try to get a little studying in ok? Sure thing mom, see you in a little while. Gohan said going towards the housing complex of Capsule corp. Piccolo, why don't you it with me for a little while? Chi Chi said sitting down on the blanket. Piccolo blushed a tiny bit, but nodded and sat. That damn namek. Vegeta growled from his spot on top of Capsule Corp's roof. Chi Chi brushed her hair from her face and looked up at the sky. The springtime sky was bright and clear. It's pretty. Chi Chi said with a smile it makes me feel peaceful. Piccolo looked up at the skky and nodded in agreement. Nature always made him feel better.

Having lived in nature all of his life, he preferred it to living in a city. Vegeta snorted and flew off the roof. He decided to make his presence known. Piccolo frowned, he had sensed the sayain prince long before he even landed next to Chi Chi. Convenient how he always manages to come when Chi Chi and I are alone; he must be jealous. Hapry, do you have any more food in your basket. I have plenty left. Chi Chi replied ignoring Vegeta's insult. She was used to that name by now. Where is Bulma? I thought she was going to come check up on Trunks at least once today. You know how the woman is, besides she knows the brat is in good hands. Chi Chi blushed at the compliment that Vegeta gave her. I need the practice anyway. She said touching her own stomach.

Inside of Capsule corp the decorations were being put up in the indoor garden. Lunch and Catalina were gushing over the wishing well and the chair that Tien and Yamcha were currently putting together. Bulma directed the caterers as to where the food was to be put. I hope everything goes well today. 18 remarked to Krillen as they both set up some tables. Krillen frowned and said yes Chi Chi seems to have become a little more withdrawn lately. 18 frowned and thought to herself yeah well I'd be withdrawn too if I felt the immense waves of pity gravitating my way too. If there's one thing I've come to find out about Chi Chi she's a very proud woman. It's a shame Goku couldn't be here. Master Roshi said. Oh he could be here he just chooses not to. Catalina mumbled angrily. She had heard the entire story of what had happened from Lunch and she was not too pleased with Son Goku.

Get Out, (leave) right now, It's the end of you and me

It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone

'Cause I know about her (who) and I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies

You said that you would treat me right but you was just a waste of time (waste of time)

Lunch giggled at Catalina as she sang that song to herself. She and Cat had been talking about Chi Chi a lot lately and both agreed when it came to Goku.

wanted you right here with me but I have no choice you've gotta leave

Because my heart is breakin' With every word I'm sayin'

I gave up everything I had On something that just wouldn't last

But I refuse to cry No tears will fall from these

Eyeee-eeee-eeees Ooooh, ooooh Get out

Bulma giggled when she heard them sing that song. Geez Goku, I think you've made more enemies than friends with your decision to stay in otherworld. The Ox king arrived with a huge bundle of presents for his daughter. Bulma smiled and said glad to see you made it. Of course Ox said in a cheerful voice, she's my daughter, the only baby I've got. You know I'd do anything for her. Bulma smiled she did know that the Ox king treasured his baby girl like she was the star of America. The Ox dumped all of the presents he carried into the wishing well and smiled at Catalina and Lunch. Both girls smiled back and started a conversation with him. Tien and Yamcha sat down with Krillen after they finished all of the building and setting up. How come Vegeta gets off scot free while the rest of us have to sweat? Yamcha groaned.

Vegeta is outside making sure Chi Chi doesn't make her way inside before we are ready, I don't envy his position. Tien said with a smirk. Yeah neither do I although Chi Chi has calmed down a lot since that incident at the club. Yeah, she's become a lot more….subdued. Krillen said. I wonder if that's such a good thing. Tien commented. Well she's been growing closer to Piccolo. Yamcha said with a snort. I don't think that's such a wise idea, if Goku were to come back… He'd have to kiss off and be grateful if she even looks in his direction. 18 replied walking over to the table. I don't care what his reasons were; he left her alone with one son and another baby on the way.

Can't really argue with that, he defiantly left her alone in a bad situation. Tien thought to himself. Lunch and Catalina joined the others at the table. So now all we have to do is get Chi Chi into the room without raising too much suspicion. Catalina said brightly. Everyone else sighed. What? What'd I say? Catalina said looking around. It's just that, well Chi Chi is always suspicious. Bulma said as she sat down at the table. Just have someone tell her that you want Trunks back and to bring him to this room. 17 answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Oh Gohan, Bulma said with a smirk. Go tell your mother to come over here with Trunks; I do believe we are ready to start. Tell Vegeta to bring his short ass back here too. He'd kill me if I said it like that, but I'll have them both back here in a few minutes.

Chi Chi put her hand in Piccolo's hand and he held it tightly. Vegeta snorted although on the inside he was seething in rage. Piccolo frowned at the contact, but just as always he didn't pull his hand away. He could pratically feel the animosity coming off the sayain prince's body. Too bad Vegeta, you're already mated to another woman and you've got a child. Trunks looked up at his father and sensed his anger. He scowled at Piccolo and Vegeta smirked. Look at him Vegeta, he looks just like you. Chi Chi said with a giggle. She brushed A piece of Trunks hair from his eyes. He looked back up at her and then snuggled against her chest. Both Piccolo and Vegeta glared at Trunks who seemed to know exactly what he was doing.

Gohan flew over to his mother and said mom, Bulma wants trunks back. Chi Chi nodded and released Piccolo's hand as she stood up. Uhh Vegeta, Bulma wants you to come in too. Oh yeah? What did the woman say? You want the exact version or the edited. Gohan said while fidgeting nervously. You already told me the edited version brat, let's here what she said exactly. She wants your short ass inside. Gohan replied quickly and then took off. Vegeta snorted. Chi Chi frowned when she thought about the distance she'd have to walk. Flying was going to take a lot of her already waning energy, and she didn't want to appear lazy or weak by having to use the nimbus cloud. Guess I'll have to walk. Piccolo, Vegeta could you pick up those things? I'd do it, but I've already got my hands full with Trunks. She said.

Vegeta picked the stuff up with little effort and strode ahead. Chi Chi started to walk determined to keep up the pace Vegeta was setting. Piccolo watched her struggle to keep in stride with Vegeta and scooped her up. He held her against him despite her protests as they made their way to the interior garden. Piccolo I can walk now put me down damn…Surprise! Everyone in the room shouted as Chi Chi and Piccolo came over to the door. Chi Chi jumped down from his arms and said oh my goodness…all of this, for me? The girls all ran towards here and ushered her towards the chair that was set up in the middle of the room. How did you all manage to plan this? Chi Chi said in a surprised voice. Bulma. The other three girls said together. Piccolo bit back at smile when he saw Chi Chi's face. He hadn't seen her look this excited in months.

Ok Chi let's open some gifts! Bulma exclaimed. The girls all squealed except 18. All of the men groaned together in one voice. Why was I excited to come here in the first place again? Krillen said with a frown. Because when the music starts you can dance with me. 18 replied smoothly. Besides, you do want to see Chi Chi happy don't you? She is your best friend's wife. Krillen sighed but nodded in agreement. Here Chi start with the small gifts first. Chi Chi nodded and said this is from Catalina. She smiled at Cat who smiled back. Aww how cute. Chi Chi said with a smile it's a small pants set with little booties. The girls all cooed in delight as the men all groaned. Chi Chi stopped and smiled kindly at the men. If you're hungry, you can eat while I do this. Vegeta didn't need any further prodding. He proceeded to grab a plate and pile on as much food as he could fit on it.

A few hundred presents and a hat full of bows later Chi Chi was down to the big gifts. Thanks daddy, I need another crib. Chi Chi said with a bright smile. Of course anything for my little princess. Chi Chi blushed and the ohhed and ahhed at the changing table, swing, walker, diaper genie, and carrier. Piccolo said here Chi Chi this is for you. Piccolo, you got me something? She said in a surprised voice. She opened up the small package and found several Chinese tunics, pants and shoes in different colors and sizes. Piccolo. She said with a trembling voice these are beautiful, thank you so much. Piccolo just gave a grunt in response, but a tender look was in his eyes. Vegeta narrowed his eyes at the namek, the girls gushed over what a nice present it was and the others just looked surprised, and worried.

Piccolo was surprised when Chi Chi grabbed him in a hug, but held her against him. You're welcome. He said. He caught Vegeta's eyes. Vegeta scowled and his eyes pratically promised death. Chi Chi looked over at the girls. Lunch and Catalina immediately nodded their approval, while Bulma and 18 both shrugged. She released Piccolo and he hastily retreated to the other side of the room. Let's party! Bulma said cranking the music up. Catalina dragged Chi Chi off of the chair she was sitting in. Come on let's dance! Chi Chi giggled as she was led onto the dance floor by Cat. Cat lead them was they both danced to La vida es un carnival. As you can see I picked out some of the music Cat said with a giggle. So what do you think Cat? Of what? Cat said after twirling her around. Piccolo. Chi Chi said, I've been a widow now for about seven months, do you think it's ok to persue a more serious relationship? I know not everyone approves….

Fuck everyone else. Cat said. This is your life Chi Chi, the only person you should worry about pleasing is yourself. But I have Gohan to worry about and… And Gohan loves him doesn't he? Cat said. I haven't met Goku, but I've heard that he was the nicest most caring person ever. Chi Chi sighed he was. It's hard for me to believe that when I see the situation he left you in. Catalina replied. I will take your word for it though Chi. If he is as nice and kind as everyone tells me, he'd want you to enjoy your life. After all supposedly he stood dead to keep you safe. Chi Chi nodded. Then enjoy your life mi hija. But if he should return…Chi Chi began, When you come to that bridge you cross it. Don't let anyone else tell you what's right and what's wrong.

Chi Chi took in everything that Catalina said and she smiled. Thanks Cat. Anytime. Catalina said turning around with a smile and then a wave over her shoulder. That's right, no one else should have reign over what you do. The Ox king watched as his daughter walked over to Piccolo. In his mind he didn't like the fact that Chi Chi was getting along so well with the namek. He looked over at Vegeta it appeared that the sayain prince did not approve of it either. In his heart it was another story. As much as he loved Goku, he wanted to see Chi Chi happy, and whichever way it was possible he dared not have any complaints about it. Over the last six months he'd seen her lose her fire. He often suspected that the only reason she was living was for Gohan and her baby.

She did a good job suppressing it, if he wasn't her father he would've never guessed it. Well it looks as if she's found something else to live for. He said to himself. Bulma glanced over at Vegeta and saw him glaring at Chi Chi and Piccolo. Stop staring Vegeta, I think they look cute together. Kakorot is going to come back. Vegeta answered without looking at her. I hope he finds it cute too. Trunks held onto his mother tightly. Vegeta, let's just dance ok? Bulma said in a soft voice. He could tell that possibility worried her very much. Vegeta snorted but obliged her request.

Chi Chi walked up to Piccolo and sttod next to him. You shouldn't be on your feet. He grunted and pulled up a chair. I'm not made of glass Piccolo, I'll be fine. She said in a soft voice. He gazed down at her. She sighed and sat in the chair. You fuss over me like a mother hen with her chicks. You mean like you fuss over Gohan? He retorted. Chi Chi smiled. She didn't fuss over him as much as she used to, she finally realized that the boy needed some space too. I'm not that bad anymore. Chi Chi chided. Piccolo frowned. They heard cheering and looked over at the dance floor. Catalina and 17 were dancing with each other. They make a cute couple Chi Chi commented as she watched them move with each other.

Ya lookin' just a little too hard at me
Standin' just a little too close to me
Ya sayin not quiet enough to me
Ya sippin's just a little too slow for me
No doubt ya playin' real cool homie
Got me thinkin' what is it you do for me
Trippin' ova it, a little more than I should be
So let ya self go and get right with me

I'm about to sign you up, we can get right
Before the night is up, we can get
get riiiiiiiight get riiiiiiight, we can get right
I'm about to fill your cup, we can get right
Before the night is up, we can get riiiiiiight toniiiiiiight, we can get right
Do you want more?

Bulma who was not one to be outdone worked Vegeta on the dance floor as well. Vegeta just stood rigidly while she danced against him. Move with me Vegeta. She hissed. Vegeta hesitantly followed her lead and soon the other were also paying attention to the both of them. Catalina said waana switch partners? Sure! Bulma said She moved over to 17 while Catalina went over to Vegeta. Both girls smiled at each other as they moved with their partners. They mouthed the words of the song.

Ya lips talkin' bout I play too much
Can't a woman take advantage of what she wants
My hips movin' oh so slow
Bar tab lookin like a car note
All I need is you here right by my side
Take whatever ya want, baby let's ride
And whatever ya want so you need to sign
Just put ya name on the dotted line

Chi Chi smiled up at Piccolo and said let's go dance too. No, you need to relax. Piccolo told her. She frowned and stood up. Like hell I will. Yamcha, let's dance! She shouted. Yamcha shrugged and led her on the dance floor. Chi Chi moved like she was only a month pregnant on the dance floor. Bulma and Catalina smiled at her as she worked it. They moved aside for her and Yamcha. Damn she hasn't had this much for in awhile. Bulma said look at how happy she is. The others saw that Chi Chi was indeed having a good time.

I'm about to sign you up, we can get right
Before the night is up, we can get
get riiiiiiiight get riiiiiiight, we can get right.
I'm about to fill your cup, we can get right
Before the night is up, we can get riiiiiiight toniiiiiiight, we can get right

Go Chi! Lunch shouted from the table with Tien. Vegeta saw that Chi Chi's face was lit up in a huge grin and decided not to say anything about her foolishness to her. He was sure she'd feel it in the morning. Gohan smiled at his mom. She sure was strong he doubted any other pregnant woman could move like her.

So much we've got to say
But so little time
And if tonight ain't long enough
Don't leave love behind (Don't leave love behind)
Take my hand, I'll show you why

Ox watched his daughter and smiled. She looked almost as happy as she did when Piccolo gave her the gift. Good stay happy. Ox said. Pregancy sure hasn't slowed her down./ Dende remarked to Korin. No it was her sadness doing all of that. Seems like there's a light behind every tunnel though.

I'm about to sign you up, we can get right
Before the night is up, we can get riiiiiiight get riiiiiiight, we can get right.
I'm about to fill your cup, we can get right
Before the night is up, we can get riiiiiiight toniiiiiiight, we can get right

Chi Chi returned to the chair by Piccolo when the song was over. Thanks Yamcha! She called. No problem. He shouted back as he sat down by Catalina and Tien. She beamed up at Piccolo who looked as if he wanted to say something. He stopped himself when he saw how happy she was.
