1 Chapter 4: The Attack of the Hormones

Now you see, dear reader that a saiyan pregnancy doesn't last as long as a human pregnancy. Now for someone like Chi-Chi this would have been quite a shock (cause they didn't know about the saiyans, etc) but after the arrival of Vegeta who we all know had lived on Vegittasei (A.N. Is that how you spell it? I have no idea) for a time they had discovered the enlightening fact that a Saiyan pregnancy lasted only 4 months. Now Chi-Chi and Bulma had been with child for 5 months so the question was how long would Videl be pregnant? Chi-Chi insisted that it would be around 6 or 7 months. Gohan kept arguing that it probably would be closer to 8 months because their baby would be more human. Videl really didn't care and usually left the room when they started arguing because it gave her a tremendous headache. So, anyway, on the cold winter day that our chapter starts Videl was about to face up to the one thing that she had been avoiding for a month. Her father.

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

Videl knocked on the door. She stood outside the huge Satan mansion. The place that had once been her home. Now, however, she really wanted to run away from the place. She had decided to cover up as much as she could for the moment as to not surprise her father into an early grave with her expectant tummy. Under her brown knee-length coat she wore a white t-shirt (with the CC Symbol on it, of course) and black slacks covered by a purple jumper. Despite the cool weather, she felt extremely hot and was planning to take her coat off as soon as she got in there and hide behind a chair or something. She had brought with her the pictures from her last doctor's appointment to show her father. That was if he embraced the fact that she was pregnant, which was unlikely.

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

"Videl!" Hercule exclaimed when he saw his daughter standing in the doorway of the living room. She had been standing there for ten minutes before her father noticed. He was, as usual, wrapped up in watching his old matches and cheering himself on.

"What are you doing here, has that good-for-nothing husband of yours down something to you?" Hercule said.

"Well, actually-" Videl said but she get a chance to finish her sentence before being cut off by her father. She rolled her eyes and took off her coat and hung it over the nearest chair as her father started his speech on how Gohan was a good-for-nothing twit.

"Cause if he does something to my daughter I will never lay hands on her again. I don't care if he is an alien it gives him no right to do anything to my daughter," Hercule continued to ramble on in this manner until Videl caught his attention.

"Hello!" Videl exclaimed knocking her father out of his mindless chatter.

"Dad, there's something I have to tell you. You might want to sit down."

"Why? I swear if that boy has done anything to you-"

Videl threw her hands up in defeat, "Why won't you listen to me?" She screamed at her father.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" her father said.

"THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME," Videl screamed. And her hormones took over as the father and daughter got into an all out screaming match.

"OH YEAH RIGHT, TELL ME WHAT IT IS I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW."

"YOU HAVE NOTHING OVER ME."

"YES I DO, I'M YOUR FATHER."

"I'M A GROWN WOMAN, I DON'T NEED YOU."

"WHO PAYED FOR YOUR EDUCATION AND YOUR CLOTHES AND YOUR JETCOPTER?"

"OH REAL MATURE, TRY AND GUILT TRIP ME."

"DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, YOUNG LADY."

"I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE."

"THIS IS ALL CAUSE OF THAT BOY, ISN'T IT? I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM BOYS AND THEN YOU HAD TO GO AND MARRY ONE."

"OH, DON'T START BLAMING THIS ON GOHAN. HE NEVER DID ANYTHING TO YOU. IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE."

"HE TOOK MY LITTLE GIRL FROM ME."

"I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL AND I DON'T WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE ONE."

"WELL YOU ACTING LIKE A CHILD."

"I'M NOT THE CHILD, YOU ARE."

Videl eyes suddenly unfocused and focused again and she felt dizzy.

"I'm leaving."

Videl grabbed her coat and as she pulled it off the chair a small black and white photo fell out of the pocket. She leant down to grab it but her father beat her to it.

"What's this?" he growled

"Nothing," she said trying to grab the photo.

"This is ………… hold on, you're not …………." Videl grabbed the photo out of his hands, "pregnant."

"Leave me alone," she said exiting the house, slamming the door.

Hercule grabbed for the door but Videl had locked it. He stuck his head outside the window.

"I TOLD YOU THAT BOY WAS TROUBLE. NOW HE'S GONE AND IMPREGNATED YOU. WHEN WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME," he screamed

"VIDEL LILY SATAN!" (A.N. I read a story where Videl's middle name was Lily and it sort of grew on me)

Videl caught her maiden name at the end of her name and her blood boiled. She opened the door of her jet copter and jumped out. She marched over to her father, whose face was still poking out of the window.

"It's Son and I never want to hear that word anywhere near my name ever."

With that she marched back to her jet copter, climbed in and took off. Hercule remained at the window, shell-shocked.



Videl looked at her reflection in the rearview mirror as the copter shot towards Mt Paozu. Her face was all puffy and red. She hadn't even realized she was crying. Stupid hormones, she thought as she half-heartedly wiped the tears away. Two small dome houses came into view on the horizon. Videl turned the copter off autopilot and landed it about a hundred metres from the houses. She was hoping that Chi-Chi wasn't home because she really didn't want to talk to anyone and knowing Chi-Chi she'd be over in five seconds flat. She was constantly checking on Videl. She had some terrified idea that she would go into labor at any moment. She had failed to remember the fact that Videl was only three and a half months pregnant. Luck was on her side, Chi-Chi wasn't home. Probably at CC, thought Videl. She seemed to spend a lot of time there lately. Other than when she was at Videl and Gohan's house making sure she didn't stress herself out. As she entered the house the phone rang. That man just doesn't learn, she thought as she ignored the phone and busied herself with making a cup of hot chocolate. The phone eventually rang out. Videl heaved a sigh of relief and sipped her hot chocolate. The phone rang again. She groaned. It continued to ring and it wasn't till the forth phone call that she finally picked it up.

"I told you to leave me alone," she bellowed down the phone.

"Whoa," came Bulma's voice down the phone, "It's just me."

"Oh, sorry Bulma. I thought you were somebody else," Videl said, a little more harshly than she meant.

"Obviously. Well, anyway, Chi-Chi and I were wondering if you could come down here right now. We have something to show you."

Videl groaned, "Is it necessary?"

"Yes yes, you just have to come down. Pleeeeeeaze."

"Oh, all right."

"Okay, see ya soon. Bye!"

"Bye."

Videl hung up the phone, downed the rest of her hot chocolate and picked up her keys heading in the direction she had just come.

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

Bulma hung up the phone and turned to Chi-Chi.

"Well, she's sure hormonal," Bulma commented.

"Is she coming?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Yes!"said Bulma.

"Great, well be finish this up," said Chi-Chi.

"Yep," said Bulma standing up from the dining room table.
