Back again! I am so happy cause Dragonball Z is starting again on Cheez TV.
The only downside is that they have decide to restart it right from the
beginning of Dragonball Z and left us hanging on whether Vegeta is dead or
not (Buu Saga). Luckily I already know but I still want to see. *goes off
the write complaint letter*

Chapter 10: Nursery Blues
With Hercule's gift of the crib, Videl had decided it was time to start on the nursery before she got too big. It was already hard to get down low and paint the skirting boards if she wanted to get back up. Chi-Chi was paranoid that she would hurt herself and insisted on helping her, which Videl was secretly pleased about. The bigger she got, the more she started acting like Chi-Chi; paranoid that she could go into labour at any time. She was only four months pregnant but she looked about 5½ and Chi-Chi and Bulma were getting to her. Videl had had a quiet word with 18 who had said that they had done the same thing to her. Videl pitied her; she had to put up with it for the whole nine months.
************
Videl sat on the floor painting the skirting boards. She was painting them yellow. She didn't want to paint it blue and then have a girl or vice versa. She heard the door open downstairs.
"Videl!" Gohan called.
"I'm up here." The stairs creaked as Gohan climbed them towards the nursery. The door opened as Gohan entered the room.
"What do you think?" Videl asked
"It looks great!" Gohan said.
"Erasa and I are going to finish painting the walls tomorrow," Videl said, "Care to help a girl up?" Gohan laughed and grabbed her hand, pulling her up with ease. Videl dusted her hands on her overalls and looked up to admire her work. Gohan roamed around the room. He reached the rocking chair and he sat down in it.
"Now, this is a comfortable chair," he said, leaning back in it and closing his eyes. Videl sat down on his lap and kissed him on the nose. Gohan opened his eyes and smiled at her. The room was silent until Videl asked Gohan a question she had been thinking about for quite a while.
"What did you mean by 'weird'?" she asked. Gohan looked at her surprised.
"What do you mean?" Gohan asked, puzzled.
"When we were at the baby shower and Sharpener asked you what it was like to be a daddy-to-be, you said it was weird. What did you mean?" Videl asked. She watched Gohan as he sat there thinking.
"Well I guess what I meant….." he trailed off. He wrapped an arm around Videl's stomach as he tried to find the words to express what he wanted to say.
"Well, do you remember when we first met?" Gohan asked. Videl laughed.
"Do I ever!" she said, smiling at the memory.
"And do you remember when I taught you how to fly?" Videl smiled and then giggled.
"I remember when you said about cutting my hair and I got angry at you when you said it had nothing to do with you liking girls with short hair," she giggled. Gohan laughed.
"And remember when you said to my mum, 'I don't want to marry your son' and that's exactly what you did," Gohan said. Videl smiled fondly at him and ruffled his gravity defying hair.
"So what's that got to do with 'weird'," Videl asked.
"Well, don't you see, we weren't the best of friends at first and then it all just changed so quickly. Do you think, if someone had told you on the day we first met, that you would marry me, you would believe them?"
"Probably not."
"That's what I mean, who would have thought that it would be you and me that would end up together," he said.
"Chemistry," Videl muttered as she leant back against Gohan's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Gohan smiled, "Chemistry is an understatement."

A big thanks to my friend Vanessa who has been taping the Great Saiyaman saga off Cartoon Network for me which allowed me to write about the memories. So what's going to happen next, eh? A little chat with Erasa and what if Videl had never really wanted children? A sad look at Videl's mother's death and why Videl seemed so troubled when she found out she was pregnant, Chapter 11: Girl Talk.
