Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z, but is that really a surprise?

I rewrote the original chapter, correcting the hard to read format and some grammar errors and a few storyline tweaks. I also divided the one huge chapter into smaller segments for easier reading. This story one of my babies, so I tweaked it for betterness.

"Waugh!" A child with black hair cried as the old man held him in his arms. The old, bald, and perverted man laughed and handed the baby back to his father, a tall man with long black hair that spiked in a way that defied gravity.

"Sorry Master Roshi," The man said sheepishly. Roshi just shook his head with a smile.

"I've never been very good with children, Goku," The elder chuckled. "But bring him back when he's older and I'll show him a few techniques."

"Can I hold him?" The woman with blue hair had walked in from the living room alongside another woman with black hair held her arms out to Goku. The hero of Earth exchanged a look with the raven haired woman, who nodded her head in consent.

"Here ya go Bulma," Goku handed his son to Bulma. The boy giggled as she tweaked his nose and made cooing sounds.

"How old is he Goku?" A short bald man with the marks of a monk had walked over with a plate of hot dogs. He handed them to Goku and Roshi.

"Thanks Krillin," Goku took the food and downed it in one bite.

"Gohan's one and a half now," Goku's wife, Chi Chi, answered as her husband polished of the food.

"Are you gonna train him Goku?" Krillin asked. Goku nodded.

"Of course!" The spiky-haired man replied with a smile.

"But we're also going to make sure he has an education," Chi Chi hastily added. "I want him to be able to survive in society."

"Gohan's really strong for his age!" Goku went on. "He's already got quite a grip for such a young-"

"Ouch!" Bulma cried out as the baby squeezed her finger. "You might have warned me earlier Goku!"

The baby giggled and the men smiled in amusement, but Bulma glared at them and set Gohan on the ground. The little boy then crawled over to the bald man who stood in the kitchen talking with a woman with dark blue hair and a small floating person.

"It's Gohan!" The floating one said, pointing to the baby.

"What Chiaotzu?" The man with three eyes turned to where his friend was pointing. The little boy had grabbed the bottom of the woman's dress and tugged on it.

"What a strong little boy!" The woman exclaimed, struggling to keep her dress in one piece. This was before she sneezed and her blue hair turned blonde. She now raised her upper lip in disgust, but before she could do anything the three-eyed man picked Gohan up.

"I wasn't going to do anything!" She protested. The man handed Gohan to a man with scars on his face and black hair pulled into a ponytail.

"I hope not Lunch," He said. "Here Yamcha, I think Gohan might want to go back with his parents."

"Oh come on Tien," Yamcha groaned, not wanting to carry the baby. Tien gave him a glare, and with three eyes that glare was very intimidating.

Yamcha sighed and took the baby, his flying cat hovered close to the baby, who grabbed it and pulled it into a hug. Yamcha laughed at the look on Puar's face and walked over to where Krillin and Goku stood, facing a man with green skin and a white cape.

"Piccolo!" Yamcha gasped. Gohan struggled out of his arms and crawled over to the green man, going unnoticed by Goku and Krillin. Soon Tien and the other fighters came out, having sensed Piccolo's power. Piccolo had his arms crossed and was looking extremely disgusted, as if just being near his nemesis had sickened him.

"What is is you want Piccolo?" Goku asked guardedly.

"I'm not here to fight you," Piccolo said. The fighter's exchanged confused glances, but Goku was focused only on Piccolo.

"Why are you here?" He asked. Chi Chi let out a loud gasp as Gohan crawled up to Piccolo and tugged on his pants, Goku got into his fighting position and prepared to save his son. He was surprised as Piccolo picked up Gohan and tossed him to Chi Chi, who held him tightly.

"One day Son Goku," Piccolo said through gritted teeth. "We'll finish what we started." With that he flew off, leaving everyone to wonder why he'd bother to come at all. Everyone but Goku, who'd noticed Piccolo's aura was no longer completely filled with evil. The devil was becoming good.
