Hey it's another chapter again. I don't own dbz or the characters.

Ease My Pain Chapter 39

"Come on mom I'm ok, seriously!" Yelled Brandon. "Keep still so I can see your face, Brandon!" said Mrs. Greer. Brandon's mom had him lying down on the bed cause she was checking his face. "Mom, I'm not seriously hurt!"

"Brandon, how can you say you're not hurt, I can see it all over your face, my poor baby." Brandon rolled his eyes. "Mom, would you please."

"Look at your arm?!"

Brandon grabbed his arm. "Oww! Mom!"

"I'm sorry Brandon. I didn't mean it." "Mom I can understand you're concerned, but please, don't touch my arm, for right now." said Brandon giving her a pitiful look.

"I just want to know if you're ok."

His mom kissed his head.

"Ow!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, sorry!"

Breathing a sigh. "It's ok mom I know you didn't mean it."

"Look, I'm a nervous wreck Brandon."

"That's obvious."

"Brandon!? I can't help it! After hearing and seeing what happen to you. I want to make sure your ok." "I'm ok mom I just have a headache from the stitches they put in my head."

"Well I want you to rest and not get out of bed."

Brandon rolled his eyes again. "Ok mom."

His mom left out the room. I never saw my mom all over me like that. Probably cause I never looked like this before thought Brandon.

Chichi and Goku were waiting for an answer from the doctor. They had been waiting an hour. "Gosh, I'm hungry," said Goku.

"Goku, it's not time to think about your stomach right now!" scolded Chichi.

"But Chichi I can't help it!"

"I'm sorry Goku but you're going to have to wait."

Goku stomach started to growl and Chichi heard it. Oh no! I think we better get down to the Cafeteria before that gets on my nerves! Thought Chichi.

Chichi stood up and looked at Goku. "Ok, let's go eat cause it may be a while for we can see Gohan. Maybe, it will help me get my mind off of him."

Goku put his arm around her and smiled. "Good, cause I'm starved and it will help me get my mind off of Gohan as well."

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

Bulma walked into Trunks room. "Hey guys I brought you both some milk and cookies.

"Kool!" Yelled Goten and Trunks. Both of them hopped off the bed, that was consume with toys.

"Oh, and Goten?"

"Yeah." Goten looked at bulma.

"I wanted to tell you that your mom called and said that you were going to be spending the night cause your brother became ill at school and right now he's at the hospital."

"Hospital? Can I go see him?" said Goten worried.

"Not until Chichi and Goku give the ok. So I want you both to play nice and don't worry about your brother. I believe he's going to be fine." Bulma hugged Goten and left out room.

Sighs. "Is that crazy brother of yours yelling about his tummy again!" complained Trunks.

"Shut up Trunks! Don't make fun of my brother!" Goten said getting mad.

"Come on Goten he acts worse than a girl on her period!"

"Period? What's that?"

Trunks rolled his eyes. "Don't tell me you don't know what that is!"

Goten shook his head.

Trunks had a smirk on his face. "Well you have to be my age to know so you have to wait another year."

"Trunks, stop being mean! My brother is not a girl! He just gets sick sometimes and he's not always complaining about his stomach!"

"Goten, you can't say Gohan hasn't been a pain. Remember the trouble he would give us when your mom left the house and he had to watch us!? He's so mean at times!" "Don't remind me Trunks. I didn't like him like that."

"Yeah, and remember we were out in the woods and we smelled this funny smell like he had been smoking something and he started tripping."

"Shut up Trunks! I don't want to remember that!"

"Come on Goten you know your brother is a pain!"

Goten punched Trunks in his face and he hit the wall. "Shut up!! I don't like you talking about my brother like that!!" yelled Goten.

Bulma came running in the room and Trunks was going to attack Goten and Bulma grabbed him. Trunks was struggling to get away from her grasp. "What, is going on?!"

"Mom?" yelled Trunks.

"If you stop struggling I will let you go!" Trunks stopped and Bulma let him go.

"I leave you two alone for ten minutes and your fighting! What has got into you two!?"

"Trunks keeps saying mean things about Gohan!" yelled Goten.

"Cause it's true!" yelled Trunks.

"Listen you two stop this right now! I don't want to hear you Trunks, saying mean things about Gohan! You don't make fun of anyone when their sick!"

"Yeah Trunks it isn't funny!" said Goten.

"Goten I'm talking and I don't want you saying anything!" said Bulma.

"Yeah, you dummy!"

"That goes for you too Trunks! If you guys don't stop this fighting you both will go to BED!" They both kept quiet and glared at each other.

"Get those looks off your faces! I want you both to come in the kitchen and eat dinner and I better not hear another word from neither one of you! Do you both understand?!"

"Yes!" said Trunks and Goten. They left and went to the kitchen.

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

Goku and Chichi came back to the waiting room. The doctor came down the hall and peaked into the waiting room and told them to come to his office. Goku and Chichi looked at each other and followed the doctor. Goku put his arm around Chichi and she whispered in his ear as they walked down the hall.

"Goku I'm nervous. My stomach is in knots."

"Let's now jump ahead of ourselves, Chichi. The doctor hasn't even told us what's wrong."

They went in his office and closed the door. Chichi was nervous. "I-Is Gohan going to be ok?" "Well yes he's going to fine from the two test we took on him." Chichi and Goku let out a big sigh and their nerves relax.

"But, he needs to come down off the fever and infection."

"Infection!" said Chichi and Goku very surprised. Their nerves went right back through the roof again.

"Please just relax. Gohan is not going to die he just has an infection in his stomach. That's why he can't keep anything down. But it's good you brought him in cause he's very dehydrated and his fever has went up to one hundred and three and I want to keep him here until his fever goes down and he's able to eat."

"I thought you said Gohan shouldn't have any problems?" said Chichi confused.

"Chichi he didn't say that he wouldn't have any problems he just said that Gohans body has to heal so, he won't have any problems." Said Goku.

"Yes it does have to heal and it's only been three months since he was here. From what the test showed on the ultrasound he has been healing up, but there is something I do need to mention to you as well. He can't consume alcohol or get a whole of that drug that put him in the hospital cause his body is still healing. Now, if it was six months later or year he may probably be able to consume alcohol, which is not a very healthy thing for anyone. But he can't put that drug back in his body again or he'll be back at square one and worse cause there is little damage."

"So for the rest of his life that damage will be their?" asked Goku.

"The drug MP9-7 caused damage when he was poisoned the second time. It's not that he won't heal, it's just some things leave scars that can give you problems sometimes."

"It' sounds like my son is going to be sick for the rest of his life." said Chichi afraid.

"No he's not unless, he plans on taking this drug again but he can work, go to school and do his normal business but he would need to see me a least once a year or more to see if anything has changed. But I will tell you about that as he gets better."

Goku sighed. "Well, that's something were just going to have to live with."

Chichi and Goku thanked the doctor and went to see Gohan. They walked down the hall and came in the room. The nurse had just finished injecting his I.V. with pain medication. Gohan was lying on his side with his eyes closed and in pain.

Chichi sat on the side of his bed and rubbed his shoulder. "Sweetie, how are you feeling?" asked Chichi concerned and worried. Goku could sense that Gohan wasn't really feeling like himself.

Gohan slowly turned over on his back and open his eyes to face both of his parents. Sighs. "Like a lot of pain. It's like earlier."

Chichi looked at her son and wished she could do more so, she grabbed the pitcher and poured water in a cup. "Why don't you drink some water?"

"I don't know mom, my stomach still hurts. I might throw it up."

"Listen Gohan, you have to put something in you to keep from getting dehydrated!" Gohan knew he better drink the water or he won't hear the end of it. Goku and Chichi were worried but they tried not to show it so they won't upset Gohan. They both stayed for a little while until Gohan started to feel better and then he feel asleep. Chichi and Goku left the hospital so Gohan could rest and they could rest, also.

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

Early the next day Goku, was on the sand throwing rocks in the water. Krillen walked out and sat next to him. "Hey Goku, I thought you were training since it's early." "No I really don't feel like training." Krillen was blown away by what Goku said. "Is this really you Goku?" "Yeah it's me," said Goku.

"I just never heard you say that."

"Well theirs a first time for everything."

"Yeah that is, but that's strange coming from you."

"I'm just upset about Gohan." Moaned Goku.

"What's wrong with Gohan?" asked Krillen. "I picked him up from school yesterday cause he was sick. Now, he's in the hospital cause he has an infection in his stomach." Then Goku put his head down and started crying. "I've been the worst father to just leave my son! Gohan wouldn't be in the hospital if I wouldn't have left!"

"Listen Goku you thought that leaving would make the earth safer. You didn't expect Gohan to get himself into trouble. Look, Gohan was taught by two great parent's it was his choice to go out and get involved in trouble." Said Krillen. "Yeah I know Krillen but if I was HERE at least I was able to stop it!"

"I know Goku. Theirs no doubt about that." "Yeah and when we left yesterday someone took a shot at us."

"You mean someone tried to shoot you guys!?"

"Yeah and I know it has something to do with Mace! I think I need to pay him another visit!"

"Goku do you think that's wise, considering that you guys haven't said when your going to fight and you know he's going to be ready this time if you show up at his house again!"

Goku stood up. "I know that Krillen. But don't worry I'll be ok."

"Goku, you can't go over there! This guy isn't just some ordinary human! You said it yourself!" Don't you need some help?!"

"I don't think so Krillen. I'm going to go at this alone it's my fault my family is this way. Goku did instant transmission.

Standing up. "No! Goku! Gosh, I hope your going to be ok. I need to learn how to do that."

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

Goku appeared right in front of Mace while he was sitting at his desk- sniffing crack.

"What are DOING HERE?!"

"We need to settle this once and for all, Mace!"

"Oh yeah, that's right I didn't say when were suppose to settle this! How about NOW!" Mace pulled out his gun really fast and shot Goku.
