Roses and Swans
Chichi laid Gohan down with a loud grunt, more than likely from the shifting of the weight he had been packing on these past few days. Today had to be the happiest days she's ever seen him, and honestly, it brought tears to her eyes. She hadn't realized just unhappy her eldest son had until she saw that glimmer and shine in his eyes. One she knew she would probably not see for another few years. It was something that ate at her all day, and yet, she still managed to put on a smile for her two boys, and laugh right along with them.
She leaned down and left a kiss on Gohan's forehead, a slight trace of lipstick smudged on his light skin telling tall tales of a momma's boy. Something he would have to be until he was 50 and she was long in the ground. She watched him roll over in his sleep, smacking at the lipstick trail with his hands as he mumbled something about, aww mah. Heh, a momma's boy he would be... it didn't mean he would like it. Chichi giggled quietly to herself until she felt a hand resting on her shoulder. She jumped slightly as she realized that it wasn't Goten overly grown and in charge, but rather that monkey husband of hers.
Hey Chi…he's sleeping all right?
Yeah, better than I thought he would. I was surprised he wasn't up all night.
Oh like this one here?
Chichi turned quickly and looked down at her youngest son. Sure enough he was awake and chewing happily on a spikey strand of Goku's hair as he looked happily up at mommy.
Well, I'm not surprised. Goten never was one to enjoy a nice nap. Wouldn't be surprised if you were the one that woke him up too Goku.
Goku scratched his neck and gave her a comical look. All right, so he had woke the baby up… greaaatttt. Sighing to herself, Chichi took Goten into her own arms making him squeal happily.
Well he should be still tired. Nothing a warm bottle of milk can't help.
Goku nodded to himself. Ah yes, the notorious warm bottles. They had been the culprit of Gohan's excessive sleeping when he had been a wee one himself. They were his own salvage when he wanted to sleep, when he wanted to eat, and especially when he wanted an escape the crying from the baby's overly dramatic tears. Thank goodness to Enfamil!
The baby squealed happily as Chichi raised her mouth to his tummy and blew hard making little noises through his clothes. His face was so bright and lit up and he looked so happy and full of life. He looked at his wife who was laughing with her youngest son. Her face had wrinkles Goku never noticed before, and her eyes held almost a dull sort of emptiness to it. Sure, she was laughing and smiling, but things like that were often really hard to hide, no matter how happy the person was. Chichi felt eyes on her and turned to see Goku peering at her. Tucking Goten into her arms again she began to walk out the door, laughing something at her husband.
Just because I look older doesn't mean you don't to Son Goku.
That caught Goku way off. How did she know? What does she mean by that! Hey! Wait a minute! He looks older! His bafflement made Chichi laugh. She didn't have to be looking at her dear husband to know his expression. Her Goku was like a book she had read countless time. Sometimes when you go back, you learn new things, and yet there are things about the story you know and remember well. She went downstairs and readied a bottle for her baby, Goku in tow.
It didn't take long for the two of them to settle at the table and for Chichi to stuff one of many bottles into Little Goten's mouth. If she was lucky, the baby would be sleeping in the next half an hour, and she would be able to spend sometime with Goku and talk… hah... yeah talk.
Chichi?
Hm?
She looked up from holding little Goten in her arms. He was now asleep and sucking intently on his 5th bottle. The sight was actually pretty amusing. A baby, who was surely asleep, but woke up every time the bottle was moved. More like his father than she thought. Would suck a cheeseburger down during a coma.
Can I hold him?
Chichi looked at her husband, and noticed the excitement and wonder in his eyes when it came to their wonderful little boy. It had been the same excitement with her last push of Gohan, the same excitement when he held him in his arms and now she was happy he would get that excitement from their next son.
Yes, Goku, he's your son too. Here.
As quick as lightning Chichi pulled the bottle out Goten's mouth releasing a sleepy cry. She quickly maneuvered the baby into Goku's arms before Goten woke up and began to question the movements and his empty mouth. Sure enough, by the time he had been placed into Goku's arms, he was back to a deep sleep blowing bubbles and air with each snore. Goku smiled at his wife then looked down at his baby by.
He was so soft. Even softer than Chichi's skin. His face was just so tiny, his whole body was tiny. Suddenly he image of his son in the meadow bounced back to him in his mind and he smiled softly. He didn't even know when he was in danger, he just took on the world on two wobbly legs and with a smile in his face and heart. He didn't know daddy was here for only one day, didn't know of all the hardships he and his mom would face with daddy gone. All he knew was sleep and milk were the best thing on earth, and that all he had to do was cry when he wanted something. So innocent… so sweet. He always wanted him to stay that way. If for no other sake then for his own. Stay that way.
He ran his finger over the baby's face, and smoothed over his soft lips. At first the baby made a puckering sound before Goku withdrew his finger laughing softly to himself. He marveled at how his body rose with each breath and how the baby sometimes twitched if Goku did something to him. He looked so funny and yet so handsome. Twitching like that…. It didn't take Chichi long to come to the rescue of her son, pulling the baby from his arms and he made the poor child constantly twitch. Sick people, get sick kicks… I guess. She slapped Goku playfully on the head and quickly walked upstairs and out the baby to bed.
When Chichi returned to the kitchen only a few seconds later she looked only to find Goku gone. Her heart clenched inside her small frame and she began to frantically search the living room, and then the hallways. It wasn't until she came to the front door that she finally realized that the husband she thought was gone was goofily pulling at a daisy on the stoop.
Goku…
He looked up at his wife. She seemed distraught and at the same time, relieved as her chest rose and fell quickly and unevenly.
I thought you had left.
Aww Chi. You know I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye to you.
Chichi didn't speak, and it was something that tugged at Goku's heart. Had he ever left her behind? No, he couldn't have… no, he wouldn't have. Yes… he did. He looked up at his wife, her eyes focused on the heavy moon hung high in the sky, her features unwavering and yet, unsettled. It was as if she was restless but hiding it from the world. Just like she hides everything else.
Chichi felt his eyes peering at her, felt her soul tugging towards him and yet, she refused to need him, refused to want him again. If she did her heart would shatter. She couldn't do this again…couldn't bring herself to cry night after night over him when she's finally learned to be alone.
Chi…I
Shhh, lets just enjoy the night…no regrets.
Goku nodded. No regrets…at least for tonight. Chichi made her way down the stoop and sat beside him, with enough distance and yet, not enough. She wanted to be close to him, to touch him and yet her body screamed against it, afraid of the consequences. If she could keep herself together, at least until morning fall, she would be okay… she could recover from this. Right? Right? Too bad Goku didn't have the same agenda on mind.
He scooted close to her, desperate to have her near him, desperate to feel her body against his. He missed her femininity, her laugh, and her smile. He missed her softness, her cry, her warmth, and her scent. He never felt a need to just hold her so strong, and it both thrilled and frightened him.
She scooted away from him, but this was no mere game to him, he needed her, had to have her in his arms, right there and now. He reached out his arms and wrapped them around her waist, and pulled her close, into his side. He head rested on her neck, his lips brushing against the soft skin nestled next to her hair. Oh god, her hair, he's missed that soft satin feel. The way it runs through your fingers like a black river of water. Goku reached up and pulled Chichi's bun loose gently, allowing her hair to fall to her shoulders. His fingers ran through them, amazed and overjoyed at recall of its feel. His lips pressed harder into her neck, parting and flicking a tongue along her soft skin as she stifled a moan. All tension she had been feeling from his sudden and last arrival home disappears as his tongue slide along her jaw line tracing the soft flesh. She turned her head into him and parted her lips accepting his kiss, his touch his love. His lips pressed softly over hers capturing her own, as he slipped his tongue inside softly demanding of his wife. The arm that had been tucked softly at her waist became restless and began searching the sweet flesh of his wife, while the other continued to ravishly run through her hair. It slid upwards tracing over her stomach before it softly touched her collar bone and cupped her breast. God, they were so soft, so warm and firm. Chichi moaned softly into the kiss as she began to lean against his hands begging him quietly for more. Almost as suddenly as it all started, it stopped, Goku pulling back panting heavily.
Chi… not here…the boys-
I know where, Goku. Give me a second.
Goku nodded to his wife, whose face was flushed a bright pink. It had been a long time since he's seen her like that. Since he's seen that glint in her eyes and that seductive look on her lips. It was something he thought about every night where he had been, and something that kept him up every night. Who would have thought that you can need someone so much even after you were dead? It didn't take long for Chichi to return, I'm her arms a pale white sheet that glowed into the moonlight.
Come with me.
Chichi began walking briskly, the wind sending a soft warm breeze fluttering over their warm skin as they walked far deep into the meadow, somewhere were peeping eyes and little boys could not see or hear them.
Do you remember this place?
Chichi stopped suddenly Goku by her side as she began to lay out the soft blanket.
Yes. It was where we took Gohan and where we umm, got Goten.
Chichi giggled at the thought. A grown man who still talked uncomfortably about sex. You'd think after two children it would be easier to talk about, but I guess not with Goku.
Yes, it was. This little place holds so many memories for us.
And its about to hold one more.
Chichi looked over at her husband after he whispered the words and slowly made his way over to her. There was that shine in his eyes, a vibrancy in his walk, and evilness to his voice that sent chills up and down Chichi's spine. Even if she had wanted to move away from his grasps she couldn't have, her body to willing for him to take her, her legs to weak to move.
It didn't take long for him to reach her, it was only a few seconds but felt like hours. His arms wrapped around her waist tight and pulling her into him. His lips instantly captured hers in a kiss, sending her head back gently. They kissed softly fully sending messages of need and want to each other. Then their kisses got urgent, hard and demanding as passion ran wild in their veins over running their other senses. It was Goku who lost his first, his hands running rampant over her body pulling and yanking at the clothes covering her pale white skin. She kept her hands on his chest too lost in his touches to dare move and too shy to really do anything more. She had always been the dominant one, the one yelling and screaming as they went about their daily lives, but in the bedroom she took a whole new role. She was the quiet one, the one who was in submission to whatever the Saiyan wanted and needed. She was for him, anything he wanted and needed and she loved the feminine role.
Goku didn't stop until her body was naked before him and he could glance over her sweet skin in the moonlight. He took a step back and looked over her. Her body was glinted a light shade of blue, her nipples of her humble breasts rosy and pert with excitement. Her stomach soft and curvy, her hips round and succulent exactly the way he had remembered her to be. She blushed softly under his watchful eyes and turned her head away almost in shame. Why was he always looking at her like that? Was there something wrong? She had never known. They didn't make love as often as other married couples and never had time to talk about it… or as a matter of fact, anything else. Was there something… he didn't like on her? Almost as if to answer her question, Goku closed the distance between them and ran a soft hand along her cheek. His lips kissed her full on the mouth and then nibbled over to her ear, whispering.
You're beautiful Chi. The most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. I-I'm sorry I haven't been around as much as I should, and I know there is nothing I can say or do to make it up, but please, tonight, let me show you how sorry I am… and how much I love you.
It wasn't a question, wasn't something she needed to answer. It was a statement, a commandment he had given and even if she wanted to deny him, she couldn't. Before she could even move her lips his arms were around her, pulling her softly to the blanket she had laid out for them. He positioned her beneath him, his legs on either side of her as his arms supported him on either side of her shoulders. Swooping down like an eagle on its prey, he kissed her again, making her wriggle softly beneath him anxious for his touch elsewhere. Slowly but surely he began to move his lips lower. Nibbling softly at her jaw and neck, leaving trails of kisses between her collarbone before unexpectedly capturing a nipple in his mouth. If Chichi had no control then, then she really had none now. Her mouth opened wide and she released a soft moan as her fingers rushed to run through his hair. Her legs parted slightly, liquid fire shooting through her veins, as her body demanded more from her love. He nibbled and sucked softly, taking his time as he rolled her soft nipple softly between his teeth lavished it with his tongue. Her breath became soft short pangs as she begged him to stop teasing her and continue. Goku smiled evilly, and brought his free hand to begin rolling her other nipple between his finger. Chichi's back arched sharply, and her moans increased as her finger dug into Goku's scalp, begging him to stop the games. Chichi loved his playful side, but if he didn't hurry soon she was going to kill him.
Being the loveable Goku that he is he picked up on her thoughts and began to move his free hand elsewhere. It slid playfully down her side running along the side of her stomach, brushing against her hip before it rested at the base of her thigh. Chichi's breath was caught in her throat and her body tensed and the feel of Goku's hand in dangerous territory. Goku suppressed a smile and he continued suckling her body, making her anxious to his touch. Slowly his slid his hand between her milky legs parting them as he nestled his hand between them. Chichi bit her lip, her breathing in uneven breaths as she waited his next move. Slowly he crept towards her, his fingers tangling in her damp mass of hair before finally they played at the base of her folds, running along the moisture she had created. Chichi moaned softly, cooing him, encouraging him to touch her, feel her, anything he wanted. She got her wish when his fingers slipped into her flower sending nerves and waves shooting through her body, her skin perspiring from his playful teasing. In and out in and out he began to work her, with no disregard for her pleading pants, and her body's exhaustion. He didn't stop until he felt her body clench and relax around his fingers, her entire being tensing at her release.
He slid his moist fingers out of her and laid beside her, taking her gently into his arms and running his arms along her sides. She clung tight to him, too scared the dawn would rise over the horizon if she left go and too scared he would disappear. She closed her eyes tight, tears spewing from her closed eyes as she silently cried and prayed into his chest. There was nothing neither could say to stop this, nothing either could say to make the other feel better, but they knew the time they were having was about to come to an end.
Chi…
Goku whispered softly to her hair as she clung tight to his neck sobbing uncontrollably.
Chi… I'm so sorry. I wish, I could have done better for you. I wish I could have given you more. But this is all I can do for you, and all I can give you. Know, that where ever you go, I'll be there with you, and you'll have my undying love. As long as our star shines bright in the night, and as long as there is breathe in your body, just know that I love you and I'm here for you, Chi.
She nodded softly into his chest, her tears still running down her face quietly, her pain still evident in her eyes. He pulled away from her, and stood in the darkness nearby, but she paid neither any mind. She was hurting, bad. All the feelings, the love, the need, the want, everything they shared, would be lost after this one night. All those times she lost him and now she would lose him again. The pain felt brand new, as if the wound she had been nursing was reopened and the loss overwhelming her. She knew she should stop, and she was probably putting Goku through hell with this. That she promised herself she wouldn't, but she couldn't help it. Damn it, Goku was leaving again and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
Goku felt her pain. They had always been connected, always knowing the pain the other was feeling. How could he put her through this and she manage to stay? Why? He needed to stop her pain... to make her smile at least once more tonight. Taking a deep sigh, he slid beside her, his skin naked to hers, after he had just removed his clothes. He ran his fingers along her neck and nuzzled his dry cheek to hers wet one. He tucked her smaller body next to his and ran his fingers through her hair. Then, his lips parted and he sang quietly to her. The gesture caught Chichi off guard and her sobbing stopped and she glanced up at him. He was looking at their star, singing a lullaby she had often sang to their sons when they cried bitterly. A song she hummed while she cleaned about the house and worked to hang her clothes. A song she didn't even know he knew. Heh, Goku…her Goku.
He knew it was something that would cheer her up, but he was too shy to try it before, too scared of her reaction. Would she be mad cause he heard her, angry because his voice was off? Would she cry more. When she tensed he grew anxious, waiting for a slap or an angry comment but neither came. Instead she just nuzzled closer to him and pressed her lips against his neck, which almost made him stop in mid note. Heh... Chichi…his Chichi.
She glanced up to him, love and adoration clear and strong in her eyes, as a smile played softly about her lips. Slowly those same strawberry lips pressed against his in a kiss, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Gently he rolled her on his back, taking care not to crush her with his own body. She wasn't as strong as she used to be and he saw a few gray hairs amongst that beautiful black head of hers, but no matter how old she got, she would still be his wife, his lover his friend. Nuzzling softly into her neck, he kissed her skin softly before he slid into her. Her eyes went wide, her back arched against him, her soft moans echoing across the meadow. He wrapped his arms around her tight, as he slid softly into and out of her, her legs wrapped tightly around his own. They moaned and groaned, their voices joining and rising as they moved against each other, claiming and loving in ways that they only knew how. He nibbled her neck and she ran her fingers through his hair. Drops of perspiration's forming on each of their bodies. He moved within her, gliding and feeling a body he had loved since before he knew how to love. She slid against him her moans, music to his ears as he delighted her own with his music. They moved and moaned sighed and touched until Chichi reached hers first and she buckled against him her moan echoing over the grass and dancing across the slowly lightening sky. It didn't take long for him to follow his own body shuddering against hers, filling her with the essence of his being. They both collapsed in a sweaty heap, Chichi in Goku's arms and his in her own. They calmed against each other, their breathing returning to normal, as the twilight ended and the sun slowly rose. Goku was the first to move, as he slid from her arms and dressed quietly. Sometime between the time they stopped and the time he stood, she had fallen asleep. Her body resting peacefully tangled in the pale sheet she had brought with her. His heart clenched as he looked at her, and he honestly didn't want to leave her but he knew he should. He wanted it to end like this, on a beautiful note… didn't want to wake her up just to make her cry. Slowly he turned towards the horizon and watched the sun rise higher into the sky, just as his body began to phase out. Goodbye, Chichi, he whispered softly, a single tear sliding down his cheek. Slowly he began to walk towards the sun when a whimper behind him stopped him.
He turned and looked at his wife, wrapped in a sheet, her eyes filled with tears her mouth trembling gently.
Goku... d-d-don't leave me like this… please.
The last of his sense disappeared as he turned back to her, and ran into her arms. God, please, don't let her do this, I can't stay, I need to go.
Chi, I'm sorry, you know the rules… you know.
I know… I'm sorry. Please… go then.
Chi…I.
He slid out her arms and stared at her, her face turned away in the heat of both anger and pain. He knew this would happen just knew this. He would miss her and she would miss him. She was just upset, just going to miss him, but he couldn't let it end like this. He didn't want it like this, he wanted it fulfilling, full of love. He felt his body phase away more as he pulled her back into his embrace and kissed her hair.
Chi, I love you. Always remember that. As long as that star is in the sky. As long as Gosha is there, remember that. That's what I want you to name her… Gosha. Promise me you'll name her that love, please, before I leave.
I promise, but name who that Goku?
Heh, our daughter.
WHAT!
By the time Chichi realized what he had meant it was too late. Goku had phased out, disappeared and was more then likely gone back to the underworld.
Son Goku! Hh… I'll get you for this! I love you… come home and see her soon.
A/N: Heh, thought I would end this on a funny note. Too much sadness and drama if you ask me. But I don't know, I kind know how she feels cause my bf is in the military, so he's always leaving too.
