Hello everyone! Here is the next chapter is this heart-wrenching tale. We will be going in to another view of the birth of "icky" Goten, Lol, so be sure to strap on your bulletproof vests, heh. Gosha, yes, lol, the bird, the mermaid and all future transformation are in deed Goku. Laurie, (which happens to be my real name... spelled the exact same way and everything) whether Chichi knows its him or not will be discussed in later chapters. Sorry, no more individual responses to reviews. New policy on and if you'd like to sign a petition against it I know who can obtain it to forward it to you. Okay, end of AN On with the fic! Enjoy

Roses and Swans
The nurses rushed to and fro dodging everything from flying needles to flying instruments. It was going to be the second time Chichi was going to give birth in this hospital and everyone knew the 411. Doctors filed into the bright room with helmets and flexible gowns on. The nurses crawled in on the floor behind shields of glass to check Chichi's vitals. Every time a contraction came everyone flew for cover waiting until it was once again safe to return to the poor pained mother.

Chichi's face was covered in sweat and her hair was falling like silk over her neck and shoulders. She had a blue nightgown on with an opening in the back that no one could see. Her legs were spread wide and she screamed as she pushed trying to remove the child within her. Her fingers dug into the bed rails twisting and forcing them into a brand new mold. One brave doctor was between her legs with the task of catching the baby. He had been the doctor with war paint on his face specially trained to handle women of large strengths. It was almost too bad that Chichi was far stronger than he expected and was trained for.

Chichi threw her head back and roared like a lion and all the nurses and everyone else in the hospital quivered in fear. It wasn't quite as bad as when Gohan was born but they still sounded the alarms. She pushed down heavily trying to remove the baby and then lifted the tray by the doctor's head crumbling it before throwing out the nearest window, and hitting the poor tiny black bird who seemed to be watching. He had obviously not learned his lesson from the Son House and was facing temporary brain damage and concussions. It laid on the floor for a few minutes, its mind in another state flapping towards a silver light before finding itself on a ground outside a hospital that was obviously at war. When the bird finally regained itself it gained the wits of a real animal, and decided to…. HIDE. He fluttered into the window just above Chichi's room causing disarray among the nurse and patient in the room. The nurse screamed and fainted and the pervert patient grinned happily, seeing a wonderful opportunity at hand. Dodging into the nearest vent it made its way through the paths until it found Chichi's room and looking down watched the birth of his second son.

Chichi huffed and puffed nearly blowing the hospital down but with one more big push the baby's head as out. The doctor... not taking anymore chances with Chichi's pushing, gently grabbed the child by the neck and freed it from its mother. The baby didn't cry, or scream for that matter. It just cooed and giggled. The nurses and doctors looked at each other and shrugged. She wasn't an ordinary mother, so why would it surprise them for her to have an unordinary child. Taking the child in her arms, one nurse quickly washed the child up, and completed some important paperwork while the other nurses cleaned and straighten Chichi up. By the time Chichi held her child for the first time, the room was clean the doctors ushered by security were out of the room. She was in a blissful happiness full of drugs and epidurals. She looked down at the little boy and couldn't help but notice its resemblance to her late husband.

Look how handsome you are. You look as handsome as your father did. Gohan may have my looks but you most definitely have your father's. You are going to make mommy proud someday, I know you will. My little one. My precious little one.

Ma'am?

Chichi looked up to see who called her and was staring at a nurse who had helped along the delivery. She was standing in a doorway hesitant to come in. She was a very young nurse. Couldn't be more than 17, and her hair was up in a tight blonde bun. She wasn't the prettiest in the world, but she wasn't ugly either. She approached Chichi's bed head lightly low and hands unsteadily clasped in front of her.

Son Chichi, we are in need of a name for your child now. I will return in a few moments with the certificates.

Okay.

The nurse quickly turned to leave after feeling she was dismissed and stopped in the doorway. She turned one last time and spoke out to the mother.

One last thing. Umm, you have relatives out in the hallways waiting to see you and your son, should I send them in?

No, please not at the moment. I'm very tired and… I would like a small nap first please. When you return then you can bring them with you.

The nurse nodded before closing the door and exiting the room quietly. She would give the mother maybe, twenty minutes before she returned. That would be enough to energize her without making her drowsy.

Chichi snuggled her son close into her arms and began to sing a tiny lullaby to him. One she had sang to him before he was born, and to her eldest Gohan. It was a love story about a man and wife who had three children and a house full of happiness. It was a song her mother had sang to her, before she died so tragically in that fire. Slowly as her words sweetly met the air her little son and her own eyes began to close. My little one… you will be called like your father and brother...Goten. As the thought receded in her mind she closed her eyes and fell into a heavy sleep.

Goku who had watched the entire scene from delivery to know, slowly climbed out the vent and fluttered to the end of the bed. Chichi's sheets were soft, almost like the ones at home but not quite as fluffy. They looked so wonderful together… so loving and warm. His wife, the epitome of beauty, his son, heh, also handsome like him, but with a seedling of strength implanted in him. He saw promising things flash before his eyes as he watched the child sleeping deeply in its mother's arms. Goku slowly climbed his way up, further to Chichi's side until he rested on her elbow overlooking the baby. He knew she wouldn't wake up, thinking it was just the child in the crook of her arm with the added weight. He gazed down at the baby and cocked his head. Suddenly the baby awoke and stared at him with full eyes. Goku stared back his black beady eyes swelling with pride as he watched the child look him over. Suddenly the baby let out a large cooing giggle making Goku's laugh heart as well. Well, until the baby grabbed him by the neck and damn near choked the life out of him. What a grip! There was no doubt that baby was a Saiyan.

Goku finally managed to pull his neck out of there but left a few feathers behind. He fluttered to the window, begging for breath as the child happily laughed in the mother's arms playing with a single black feather. He was about to flap his wings and take off when he was smacked by a large broom and toppled over to the top of Chichi's head. The nurse was the one wielding the broom and she swung fiercely above Chichi's head waking the sleeping dragon. The nurse dropped the broom and backed up slowly, stepping into the Ox-King and Gohan, both of who were curled up in the corner.

Just what the hell did you think you were doing!

Uhh.. M..m..mm…ma'..ma'am, there was…a b-b-bird over your head, I was just trying to get rid of it.

By swiping me with a broom! So help me God if you don't remove yourself from my presence I'll have you removed from the candy stripes and earning your life savings on a street corner in the middle of crack city!

The nurse's eyes welled up with tears and she quickly exited the room, tears streaming down her tiny round face. After the room finally settled down, Gohan ran to his mother' bedside to gaze at his new baby brother.

Mom is that him!

Yes Gohan, this is your new baby brother.

He looks just like dad.

Hehehe, he sure does.

Mommy?

Hm?

Do you think Dad is watching him?

You know what? I sure do think he is.

I do too. What's his name?

Goten.

Like me and Daddy's name?

Hehe, yes Gohan just like you and Daddy's name.

Can we take him home today!

No Gohan, not for a few days now.

But mom!

I said no Gohan. They need to keep Goten here to make sure he is healthy alright? We'll take him home soon, I promise.

All right.

The door behind the Ox-King opened again an in popped Bulma with baby trunk, who was not more than a year old now. Tien, Yamcha and the rest of the crew were not far behind her. They greeted Chichi with laughs, cheers and gifts to the tiny baby of their dear friend. Goku watched from the sill of the window, happiness and pride overcoming him. His friends, his family all in one room to welcome his new child, and he was there to see it. Suddenly the bird turned its head to the sky and after nodding took off flapping heavily until it disappeared behind some clouds.

Happy Birthday Goten!
