The Gift Part 2 Chapter 12 (The Sequel)

A/N:I so sorry about the very long wait but I also been working on the other stories too. But, on with the story.

Elaine's nurses wiped Gohans head with a damp cloth to help bring down his fever as he layed in the castles hospital bed. The thoughts of why this was happening kept going through his mind. He didn't know if he got a hold of something on Zeon or maybe he caught something on Earth and didn't realize it.

His head felt like a heavy weight along with his legs feeling like if someone was sticking him with a sharp knife tips. Gohan breathe a sigh and he groaned about the pain in his legs.

The two assistants got some warm wraps to put around his thighs and the lower part of his legs to alleviate the pain. Gohan couldn't help but groan a little about the heat when they first put it on, but it made his legs feel better.

"Elaine, what's going on with my husband?" Said Athena worried.

"First let's sit." Said Elaine.

Athena was worried about her husband. She never saw him like this.

"Well first we need to get the test back, but there is one thing I did see from his blood and that he has an infection somewhere."

"But where could it be?" Asked Athena worried.

"Well, when those test come back it could give us the answers."

"Could it come from eating?"

Elaine smirked with a smile. "Listen Athena, Gohan may have a large appetite but he couldn't get an infection from eating. He may have caught a bug by coming back to Zeon. Sometimes changing atmospheres could cause a problem in your body."

"Gohan has always traveled back and forth and he never had any problems then." Said Athena.

"Yeah that's true but maybe it just caught up with him now. Listen, I'm just saying, that doesn't mean he caught something coming back and forth." Said Elaine.

"I don't know what could be…

Elaine's nurse interrupted by coming in the room. "Dr. Elaine, excuse me for the intrusion but Prince Gohan fever has went to one-hundred and three almost one-hundred and four!"

"What! No!" Athena got up quickly and was going to run out the room and Elaine grabbed her arm.

"Hey, let go I have to see about my husband!"

"Prince Athena, I want you to be calm that's the first thing you have to learn when it comes to nursing!"

"Please Elaine, he's my husband!" Said Athena worried.

Elaine let go of her. "Prince Athena, if you go in there upset your going to upset Gohan!"

Athena had to stop herself from running out the door and think for a moment.

Elaine walked in front of Athena. "Listen, I want you to be calm, I know it's upsetting to see your husband like this but we have to help him the best way we can and not be hysterical! I'm sorry if I grabbed you, but you know if you go in there like that, he's going to get upset!"

Athena turned and sat in the chair and started crying.

Elaine spoke to her assistant. "Listen make sure the other nurses put some ice in a cloth and apply it to his body he may not like it but it's going to help keep his fever down. And every fifteen minutes check his vitals."

"Yes Dr. Elaine." The assistant went about quickly.

Elaine closed the door and hugged Athena. "Listen Princess it's going to be ok. I'm going to do everything I can to see that Prince Gohan gets the best medical attention as possible."

Athena wiped her face. "Thanks a lot Elaine. I'm very sorry for getting excited."

"Listen, don't worry about it. I would be upset if that was my husband too. But I just didn't want you to go upset to where you couldn't think straight. Look, I'm going to go look at Gohan's test. You can come if you want or you can go see about him."

"I think I rather go look at the test I know the nurses will take care of him and besides I think I need to calm down."

Athena and Elaine went to the lab to find out the results.

"Hey son, dinner is ready!" Yelled Chichi.

"Ok mom!" Yelled Goten.

"Hey Gina I have to get off the phone or my mom is going to get suspicious ok, I'll talk to you tomorrow at school."

"Oh Goten I wish your mom would let us date."

"Listen Gina my mom would get upset if she found out I was dating, she's more focused on me studying and getting my homework done and besides, my brother only knows I have a girlfriend and he said he wouldn't tell, if I keep my grades up."

"Your brother is sure strict!"

"He can be sometimes, but he's real soft and I'm lucky to have a brother like that, but anyway talk tomorrow. Kiss, kiss, bye!" They both hung up and Goten got his homework out so after dinner he could finish it.

Chichi had just sat down to start eating. "Wow Goku, I haven't heard from Gohan." Said Chichi concerned.

"He's probably having the time of his life on Zeon spending time with his son and maybe training." Said Goku eating.

"Well I wish he call and say how's he doing it's been a few days!"

"Chichi, Gohan is an adult, he doesn't need to check in."

"I know Goku but I wanted to know how he's been feeling since he passed out a few days ago."

"I'm pretty sure he's fine and just preparing to fight in three days." Said Goku calm.

"Sometimes I just wish that this was a dream and I could wake up and my Gohan would be going to school like normal." Said Chichi.

"Chichi this isn't a dream."

"I know Goku but you know how I worry about Gohan."

Goten came to the dinner table. "Sorry mom I was trying to finish up homework, but since dinner is done I'll continue when I'm done eating." Smiled Goten. "That's my son on top of his studies." Smiled Chichi.

Gohan was groaning from the cold ice cloths that they were applying to his head and legs. "Aw! Please…. that's cold!" "I'm sorry Prince Gohan but you have a fever of one-hundred and four and we need to bring your fever down." Said the nurse assistant. Gohan didn't like cold packs on his body but he knew they had no choice.

Elaine and Athena were looking at the pictures of Gohans cat scans. "From these test it looks like he has different infections appearing in different areas of his stomach and his legs and it looks like it's coming from his back."

Athena looked confused. "From his back?"

"Did Prince Gohan take a fall or get into a fight?"

"Well he was in a place that him and his dad and Arden went to do some heavy training."

"How long ago was that?" Asked Elaine.

"A few days ago."

"Well maybe he got hurt and didn't realize it."

"Well he seemed fine after it was over with except he passed out later on when they got back home."

"He passed out?" Asked Elaine.

"He felt dizzy and was having headaches." Athena explained.

Elaine was looking at the test and was thinking.

"Is their something wrong?" Asked Athena.

"I'm just thinking about what could it be."

"Well maybe having those headaches is causing some sort of infection in his body." Said Athena.

"That's probably the case, cause he has a chip in the back of his head? I remember him coming to me long time ago complaining of headaches and I didn't even know he had a chip their until I had x-rays taken."

"Oh no!"

"What is it, Prince Athena?"

"My father still has the remote and he's probably using it before he fights with Gohan to take revenge."

"How do you know he has something like that?" Asked Elaine.

"Cause he came to earth and Goku got into with him. He told Gohans father if Gohan doesn't show up for the fight he was going to use that controller and he gave an example and Gohan passed out. The first time it scared me to death cause he hasn't had any problems in three years."

"Then that chip is causing a problem and your father is probably using it to weaken him." Said Elaine.

"I can't believe that no good father of mine, and his evil plans!"

"From what it seems like, your father is playing dirty." Elaine said.

Athena sat in the chair and gave a long sigh. "I can't believe this is happening again it's like my husband doesn't get any relief and some of this is my fault!" Athena slammed her fist on the table.

"It's not really your fault Athena I'm some of the blame." Said Elaine sadly. "What are you talking about Elaine? I'm the one that put that chip in his head!"

"You may have put the chip in his head but I helped designed it."

Athena was surprised. "You helped, I didn't know that."

"Yes. your father is the one that came to me about designing a chip, he didn't mention that it was going to be put into a person."

"Wow, so you know how it functions?"

"Yes, when Prince Gohan came to me long time ago complaining about headaches I took an x-ray and saw the chip I didn't know he was going to put that chip in Prince Gohans head."

"So what did you tell him?" Asked Athena still absorbing the news that was surprising.

"I told him that he may need to wear glasses later and it could affect different parts of his body. I told him he wouldn't die from it but it could cause him some problems."

Sighs. "I'm surprised that my husband isn't chewing my HEAD OFF for causing this problem!"

"If I knew this was going to be a problem I wouldn't have made it. I should have realized he was up to no good!" Elaine sighed.

"Well I can't correct the past but I can change what I do now." Said Athena. "Do you have something in mind?" Asked Elaine.

"No, but maybe for starters we can convince my husband to get that chip removed."

"Athena, there are some risk with doing that kind of surgery and from the looks of the x-rays from long time ago the chip has slipped deeper into his head. He could become paralyzed or have other complications. But it would be a risk he would have to take." Said Elaine sadly.

Trina was sitting in her chair reading the paper and Arden walked in. "Grandmother, where's my mom?"

"Hello Arden, I don't know where she's at but I'm pretty sure she's with your father."

"Oh, I was just wondering cause she usually sees me off to bed."

"Well just stay right here and I'm pretty sure she will be right in to see you off to bed." Said Trina smiling at her grandson.

Gohan was feeling weak with a one hundred-four fever. He lied their wondering what was wrong with him. Having pain radiate through his body was really painful but his body felt calm after having warm and cold wraps applied to him. As Gohan laid their sweating one of the nurses came over and wiped his head again. She smiled and said everything was going to be ok. The way Gohan felt in his body it didn't feel ok.

Athena and Elaine walked in the room. Athena took Gohans hand and looked at her husband as the nurse was wiping sweat from around his neck she didn't want to upset him but she knew she had to be strong. "Gohan, honey, how are you feeling?"

In a weak voice he sighed. "Like something… is pulling on… my insides. "Athena…. what's going on? What's happening to me?"

"Prince Gohan it's going to be ok you have an infection in your body."

Athena rubbed the side of his head that was wet.

Gohan looked confused. "An infection? How is…. that?"

"Listen, don't worry we got everything under control. That chip is causing the infection." Said Athena. She didn't want to mention that her father might be behind it and she didn't want to upset Gohan.

"Well I need to exam you again, Prince Gohan." Said Elaine.

"Yeah, and I need to talk with my mom about what's going on."

Athena kissed Gohan on his head. "I want you to rest and not worry, I'll be back soon." Smiled Athena as she looked at her weak husband. Gohan smiled back but looking for more answers then what he heard. The assistants surrounded Gohans bed and helped Elaine as she examined Gohan.

"Just two more days and I'll be taking my revenge!" Said Omnimus smiling. "Well dear brother I hope you take him down and put an end to this punk that took over your castle. Omnimus slammed his fist on the table almost breaking it. "Don't even REMIND ME OF what that IDIOT DID!" Adieus looked at his brother and smirked.

Athena knocked on the door and walked in her mom's room. "Hey mom, hey son!" Arden came over and kissed her. "I was wondering where you were." Said Arden smiling at his mom.

"I was just with your father. Listen Arden, I want you to go in your room and change and I'll be in there to kiss you good night."

"Ok, but is daddy coming too?"

"Uh…he's sort of not feeling well tonight but…

"Not feeling well, he seemed fine earlier." Said Trina interrupting with worried.

Athena gave a look for her mom to be calm. "Mom please, I don't want to upset Arden."

"Is daddy ok?" Asked Arden.

"He'll be fine but just go to your room."

"Ok mom." Said Arden. He left out the room and closed the door and listened as Athena explained to Trina what was going on with Gohan. Arden decided to go see his father instead of going to his room.

"Are you still in pain?" Asked Elaine as she examined him. Gohan nodded his head. "Please…Elaine tell me… what's happening?" He winced in pain. "Gohan I told you. That chip is causing an infection."

"It never…caused an infection before."

"Listen, don't worry it should go away with the medicine I injected in the I.V."

Elaine's assistant came and wiped the sweat from Gohans head again. Gohan watched Elaine leave with her assistant. He sighed and wondered how this could be happening to him. Gohan closed his eyes and felt a hand touch him. He opened his eyes. "Hey Arden, son…. what are…. you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you, daddy. I over heard mother talking to grandmother about you being sick and I had to come and see you."

Gohan touched his head. "I'll be ok son I'm just not feeling well. Don't worry."

"You sound so weak, dad"

Elaine walked in the room. "Prince Arden I'm surprised to see you."

"Hi Dr. Elaine, I just wanted to see my father."

"It's ok but you can't stay too long cause your father has to rest." Smiled Elaine.

"Arden? I thought I told you to go to your room and get ready for bed?" Said Athena sharply.

"Athena… he was trying to… see me. It's ok." Said Gohan weakly.

"Mom I just wanted to see father."

"I understand but your father is sick right now and I want him to rest."

"Every time father gets sick no one wants to tell me!" Said Arden angry. He turned and ran out the room.

"Arden?" Yelled Athena. She sighed. "He can be so disobedient sometimes!" "It's ok Athena it is our… fault that we…. don't say anything." Said Gohan.

"I didn't care about him visiting his father, just as long he doesn't stay too long so, Prince Gohan can get his rest." Said Elaine.

"I really don't want you worrying about anything but just getting better." Said Athena holding Gohans hand.

"I have one question." Said Elaine.

"What's that?" Said Athena.

"Shouldn't we mention this to Prince Gohans parents." Said Elaine looking at them.

Well it's time to review.
