Lady Sakura-chan: I take it you don't want anything to happen. Don't worry,
things will be revealed in this chapter.
Amanda: *Holds gold star possessively* My gold star, you gave it to me! You'll never ever get it back, it's too special!
LiLianJieGurl: Yes, they were very young. I figured it out by doing simple math. Goku was 24 in the first episode of DragonballZ, and I had been five years since he had seen anyone from the group, which had been at the wedding, which made him 19. And I love that somebody likes my penname!
Lady Athena 12: Nobody has liked Blanca very much.
Jessica C: You are special! Don't worry, I'll do my best to keep you from crying.
Passing Girl: There is no way I will do that to Gohan!
Blackfiredragonk: I don't really understand your review. um..
Whyshouldyoucare?: I care about all of my reviewers! I even read their bio pages to find out what I can about them! I'm sorry this rook so long, but my mom was moving, so the update had to be delayed.
Venus Smurf: Thank you so much. I love when new comers review each chapter instead of just the most recent, and they were wonderful reviews!
Carla Fox: I don't think Goku ever realizes just how stupid he can be. But oh well.
Gip-K: Yes, Verde did change quite a bit, and rather quickly too.
Nisha: You re-read this? RE-READ?! OMG!!!
Here is Chapter Eight, I hope you all enjoy.
ChiChi's POV
I can't believe I had been so stupid. The doctors told me both my baby and I would be fine, but I had bled because I have been under too much stress. It wasn't hard to figure out what I had been stressed out over. I have been putting off telling Goku about this baby far too long, and because of my cowardice, I could have killed my baby.
So Verde is driving me. I would have taken myself, but he had insisted I was in no condition to go through a stressful drive only to have to tell my soon to be ex-husband that I'm pregnant with his child. So he has been driving me since four this morning, in order to get me there before nightfall.
We're close now, very close. Not that it has been a long ride for me, I slept during most of the trip since my visit to the doctor had gone into the night. I can even recognize the area. Amazing how after so many months this place still looks the same. It even smells the same, like. nature. The mix of the grass, the trees, the flowers, and the animals were just irresistible. I really do miss living out here.
"Is that it?" Verde asked looking at a house, Goku's house. I nodded wordlessly and he pulled up. We both got out, and looked around.
That's when I saw him. Goku was standing away from the house, near the woods. He was wearing his usual gi, no surprise there, but without his shirt. He was breathing heavily, and had obviously been training. Goku yelled, and swung his fist at a nearby tree. The tree didn't stand a chance
It shattered into dozens of pieces, and I could feel Verde's amazement.
"Are you sure you want to try to talk to this guy?" Verde asked, looking at me.
"Don't worry Verde, he wouldn't hurt me." I sure hope not anyway. "I'll be fine. But I'm sure you need to head home, the girls are waiting for you."
"Alright, but call or something later, let us know what happened with all of this. Alright?" Verde was climbing back into the car, and I nodded. He smiled just a bit, then drove away. So that was it for Verde, probably the last time I'll ever see him.
"What are you doing here?"
I gasped and turned around to see Goku staring at me with a look on his face that I have never seen before. He looked. scary. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face sunken in. What could he have been doing to look like this?
"I'm here to see you Goku." I was surprised at how small my voice seemed, but he seemed to hear me.
"Why?" His voice was hollow, void of all emotion. Was he mad I had come here? Did he just want me to leave? I mean, it was obvious why I was here.
"Because Goku, I'm pregnant."
"Why would I care?" He asked angrily. He was no longer emotionless. Now he was mad. Why the hell was he mad?
I stepped back staring at him. "Because you jerk, I thought you would want to know about your baby."
His faced changed once again. This time from anger to confusion. "My baby? But. but I thought."
This time, I felt my face grow angry. "Of course your baby! What the hell Goku, who's did you think it was?"
Goku looked down, but I couldn't tell if he were ashamed, or just sad.
"Never mind Goku." I said as I sighed. "Before we worry about anything else we need to talk about this baby."
"Um, alright." Goku answered.
I felt as if I had just regained who I had once been. A confident warrior that could take charge, instead of being a sorry excuse for a person. "The first thing I need to know Goku is if you are going to be involved in the raising of this child, because if you aren't then I can just go because there wouldn't be any point in continuing this conversation."
"I want to know my own kid ChiChi." Goku answered, looking at me again.
"Okay then," I answered as I calmed down a bit. "Then we need to talk about how we're going to handle things. Such as how we are going to split time with the baby. I propose having him with me for the duration of the week to handle his schooling."
"He?" Goku said happily.
"Well, yeah. I have a feeling it's a boy. However that is not what we need to focus on right now. First I want to work out how things are going to be handled."
"Alright ChiChi. What did you mean, have him during the 'duration' of the week?"
"I would have him five days of the week so he could be properly educated. Then you would have him during the weekend."
"Well that doesn't seem fair." Goku said frowning.
I paused. "I suppose your right. We won't have to worry about that right away anyhow. He'll have to be old enough to at least hold up a book first. So until he is old enough to study we can divide time equally. Though, he will need me when he is first born, I doubt you could handle an infant on your own anyway."
Goku frowned. "Well how long will it be before he's born?"
"A couple of months."
"What are you planning to do until then?"
I was surprised, I hadn't expected Goku to think of that. "I'm not sure really. I was kinda hoping you would take me to my father's until the baby has been born."
"You could stay here you know," Goku said, "I could get you what ever you would need much faster than your father can. He is strong, but his speed is laughable. He can't fly either. You told me you would have to go to a hospital when it was time, how could you get there quickly with only your father around?"
I was once again surprised. I had actually wanted to stay here, but I had been sure that Goku wouldn't want me to be here.
"Of course," Goku said, "if you don't want to have to deal with me then I understand. I'll take you to stay with your dad if it's what you really want."
"No, that's alright. I would love to stay here Goku. I missed this place."
Goku's POV
"I missed this place."
Not a 'I missed you'. It was obvious she didn't really look forward to staying here, but it is more practical than going to be with her father. "Then go ahead and go inside. I'll go catch dinner and be back later."
"Okay Goku, I'll see you at dinner and we can finish talking about what we're going to do." ChiChi said as she turned around to go to the house.
So I turned and went toward the nearest river to catch some fish, and could hear ChiChi's gasp as she walked inside. I knew she wouldn't like the mess inside. Nothing has been cleaned since Krillen left, which was quite a while ago.
I can't believe I'm actually going to have a kid. I'm going to be a father!
. A weekend father. One that could be despised by my child because of ChiChi's obvious hate for me. Would she do that, influence our child to do that? She had come here to tell me of the child, but was it simply because she wanted to do her seemingly perfect plan again? Make me think I'm happy, then rip the happiness away?
There's no way for me to know yet. Maybe. I could change how she thinks about me. I know I won't be able to get her to love me, but if I could just get her to not hate me then I might really get to know my kid. But how? How could I get her to stop hating me?
I shook my head as I stripped down and jumped into a pond, one of my usual spots. If I could get here to change hoe she feels, then I just may have a reason to live after the defeat of piccolo. Even if it won't be a life with the love of my life, then I might still get to be with my son.
I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter, and if you want to talk you can IM me any time. My AOL IM is: Kakkabrat, so feel free!
