Chapter 6: A Diddy with Daddy
The doorbell of the Satan residence rang. The housekeeper, Tyne, answered it to be met by her surrogate daughter Videl and Videl's husband. However, it was not Videl's arrival that surprised her, she had indeed been expecting her. It was her appearance that was shocking.
"Videl! Are you pregnant? You never told me you were pregnant!" Tyne gushed, overwhelmed b the fact that the girl that she had partially raised, who had only been married for a year, was expecting.
Videl smiled, "I thought Dad had already told you," she inquired.
"No, I didn't know anything except the fact that he's angry with you. He keeps mumbling something about aliens and impregnation and blood relations," Tyne informed the now sweat dropped couple in front of her. Great, Videl thought, just what I need, Tyne asking me what he means by aliens. To Videl and Gohan's luck Tyne didn't press the matter.
"Anyway, your father is waiting for you. He's in watching his old matches and yelling about some guy called Goku, I think. I don't think you need me to show you the way," Tyne said, and with a smile and a wink she was gone. Videl gave Gohan's hand a squeeze and looked up at him.
"You still wanna do this, we can probably get away," Videl said.
"Nah, might as well get this over with," Gohan replied but he lacked the usual enthusiasm in his voice. Videl led him down the familiar halls of the huge house that she had once called a home. They arrived at the doorway of the TV room. To Videl's disgust, her father was watching reruns of old matches. And they were indeed ones of Goku, which Hercule was yelling rude insults at. His puny brain hadn't realized that he was in fact related to Goku. Videl still found it ironic that the man her father had pretended to be for seven years was the man she was married to. She threw a look at Gohan who nodded his head and she knocked. Her father didn't notice the noise, for his ranting. She knocked again, louder this time but he still didn't notice. Finally, after losing her patience she spoke up.
"Hey Dad, you wanted us to come or do you just want us to leave," she cried out sarcastically. Hercule spun around, surprised at the sudden interruption of his rant.
"Videl," he spluttered, ignoring Gohan completely, "I didn't notice you."
"You wouldn't, for all the screaming you were doing. You do realize you're related to Goku," Videl said sarcastically.
Hercule sweat dropped, "Of course I knew that," he mumbled, blushing heavily. Yeah right, Videl thought.
"So what do you want?" Videl asked, a tinge of impatience in her voice. Gohan remained silent; he knew that it was best to leave any sticky matters with Hercule up to Videl.
"You can't have an alien baby," Hercule said flatly. Videl rolled her eyes.
"Is that all you wanted? And to think I thought it was something important," she remarked sarcastically.
"This is serious Videl, you can't have an alien baby, it's not natural," he argued.
"And why can't she?" Gohan asked. He was getting more annoyed with every word the man said. For one, he as insulting him by saying he wasn't natural and two he was basically telling Videl she couldn't make her own decisions. She was 21, for Dende's sake, she could do what she liked. Videl obviously agreed.
"I can do what I like. And if that means having a baby with my alien husband then so be it. Come on Gohan, we're going." Videl's grip tightened on Gohan's hand and she headed back towards the front door, Gohan in tow. Hercule, however, was not going to let her get away that easily. He sped after her and grabbed the arm that wasn't intertwined in Gohan's. As he grabbed her, however, he noticed something he hadn't noticed before.
"How far along are you?" he asked suddenly. Videl looked at him, surprised, before answering his question.
"3½ months," she said.
"3½ months?! You look 5!" Hercule exclaimed, shocked. Videl looked at Gohan.
"Were we not just having this conversation?" she asked him. Hercule looked at her, confused. She sighed.
"Dad, this isn't a normal pregnancy. It's shorter and progresses faster." Hercule looked about ready to faint.
"You mean you could have the baby tomorrow?" he asked.
"No, it's at least another 2, 3 months probably more," sometimes it amazed her how stupid her father really was.
"Oh," Hercule said.
"Now, if you don't mind, I'm leaving," she said heading towards the door.
"But wait," Hercule called after her but she had already walked through and out the door.
************
Videl and Gohan walked down the front path of the Satan mansion.
"You know sometimes it amazes me, how someone like you could have a father like that," Gohan said. Videl laughed.
"I know. Sometimes I wonder if I'm adopted or my mum had an affair with the milkman and didn't tell my dad."
************
Hercule stared at the closed door in front of him. His daughter was 3½ months pregnant with an alien that she would have in less than the usual 9 months. Why me, he thought to himself.
****************
I didn't have the heart to turn Hercule into the big meanie I originally was going to. He's really not a bad guy. Just a bit eccentric and overprotective. Anyway, what adventures will Videl get into next? What do you think? And what does good old Angela (from the episode "Gohan's First Date" – Funi Version) have to do with it? Find out in Chapter 7: Surprise Encounters at the Mall.
