ChiChi's POV

I sighed as I lay out on the couch, feeling overly exhausted once again. I'm becoming very tired of losing my energy so quickly. I'm just glad that I only have one more month of this left. I'm tired and I'm cranky and every little thing just bugs me. I'm just irritated with everything, nothing works like it's supposed to.

At least now Goku and I are getting along, I can't think of a time that we spent more time together. Despite the fact that I'm utterly miserable, I've never been happier. Wait . . . Did that even make sense? Oh, no matter. All that matters is that things have been going well. We talk about what things will be like once we're parents. We have also seemed to forget all about that divorce.

I don't know what that's supposed to mean, perhaps that we'll get to have another chance? Honestly, I don't feel like testing that until I'll have enough energy to really think about it. Maybe if things keep going the way they are, we'll get to be happy together. If Goku wants to anyway.

I smile as Goku walks into the house. He's sweaty and filthy and if I weren't in my present state, I would probably yell at him to go wash up. As for now, I was just glad he was back from his training.

"Hiya ChiChi," Goku said as he closed the door and smiled, "did you start making dinner yet?"

Typical. "No Goku, I haven't. I'm too tired to get up, so you'll just to make your own dinner."

"Alright ChiChi, I'll go get it started."

"Oh no you don't, you need to wash up before you go in there and dirty up my perfectly clean kitchen!" It was one thing to track some dirt into the house, it was quite another to smudge dirt all over the pots and pans. "You should know better Goku."

"Okay ChiChi, I'll clean up. It'll just take me a while to get me bath ready..."

We didn't have a real tub, so when it came time for us to bath, we would use this old tin... thing Goku found. It takes a while to get it ready since we have to heat the water ourselves by building a fire. How I longed for a real bath... It was difficult to get in and out of that thing in my current condition, and there was NO way that Goku was going to help me take a bath when we weren't really, technically together.

"Just hurry Goku, you should try to finish up before it gets dark out." He nodded and left, so he could find some firewood most likely. I sighed once again as I closed my eyes... Maybe a short nap could help to energize me...

Goku's POV

I should have known I couldn't get away with not washing up... Oh well, a hot bath sounded really nice, it could help me to relax. I trained pretty intensely, it was satisfying, but it didn't mean I wasn't sore. Besides, it wasn't like I had a choice. So I went back outside, and grabbed some of the firewood I had cut up a few days ago, and put it under the bath. Now all I needed was soap, I was really dirty this time...

When I walked back inside, I could hear ChiChi breathing evenly, and her eyes were closed. I guess she really was tired. I smiled to myself as I made my way to the bedroom, which's where ChiChi keeps the soap and shampoo. So I went to the cabinet to grab the soap, and took a minute to look around. I don't come in here often, this is where ChiChi sleeps. She can't just sleep on the couch every night or anything, so she gets the bed.

The room was clean, of course. That was no surprise, ChiChi would never let the place get dirty. Everything was always in its place... Except for that piece of paper with her name on it. It looked like a letter.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I couldn't stand the curiosity. So, I picked up the letter, and started to read...

Dear ChiChi,

The girls were very exited about your last letter, they read it many times already and we've only had it for a few hours.

Azul and Roja are both exited about the end of school, which is coming up shortly. As you have noticed, they decided to draw you a picture, of all of us together again. They really do want you to visit, as I hope you will once you've had your child.

There had been dozens of things the girls wanted me to tell you, though most of it consisted of senseless babbling. I doubt you feel the need to know how their friend's cousin's mother has a new boyfriend. So instead I will insure you that both are happy and healthy, despite their missing you.

They do have a new sitter, a nice little old lady who they do not like nearly as much as they did you... I don't like her as much either.

In response to your last letter, I hope things will get better for you. I know that your trying to do what's best for your child, and even if your 'husband' isn't acting as he used to, you still want to make the effort to make it work. I just hope that if it doesn't work out, that you will come back to me. I miss you ChiChi, your laugh, and your beauty, and the touch of your lips against mine.

I do love you, and I want you back. I can't help much feel that you may want me as well, and I sincerely hope you'll at least think about this. I know you have many doubts about that Goku fellow, and if you are unable to make things work, then I wish you would contact me.

With Eternal Love,

Verde

I slowly put the paper down. The man I had seen her kissing . . . That was the man she had worked for, that she had lived with all that time she was gone. How much had they done together while she had lived in his home? I didn't want to think about this now . . . she was here, and that was what mattered, right? She's here with me, not there with him . . . but then, would she stay?

We haven't really talked about that kind of thing. All we really know is that we were going to live together while the baby was still, well, a baby. We haven't gone much further than that in out planning. There's no telling if she really likes this guy, and if she likes him enough to go be with him.

She had sure seemed to like him when I first saw them together . . . Would she leave so she could be with him?

I really just don't know what to do, it isn't like I can just tell her not to. If she wants this Verde guy, then there's nothing I can do but let her. For now, I'll just have to hope that she won't go, and keep doing what I have been doing, and just go take my bath...

ChiChi's POV

I whimpered as I moved around on the couch. I was having a stomach ache, a really bad one. This couldn't be good, not good at all. "Goku!" I got myself to start sitting up, just as Goku came in from the kitchen . "It hurts, it hurts so much."

"What hurts ChiChi?" Goku asked, remaining calm as he came to me.

"My stomach, I think something is wrong. The baby..." I knew I was near tears as I spoke, and at my words, Goku lost him calm exterior.

"What do I do, What do I do?!" Goku was now completely panicked, I could tell. One of us had to try to stay calm, and that obviously wouldn't be Goku.

"You need to fly me to the hospital Goku. And you need to hurry." Before I knew it, I was in his arms, and then we were both in the sky. I knew that no matter how fast Goku was, it would still take a while to get to the hospital.

"Flying Nimbus!" Yes, good thinking. That little yellow cloud was faster than Goku is, at least now, after Goku just spent hours training. We would get there much faster this way. Faster was good, very good. I was scared, really scared. What if I lost the baby like I almost had before?

That just couldn't happen, not to my baby. "Please hurry Goku..." I couldn't stand this, it hurt so much. I wasn't even done with my nap, I was still so tired...

Goku's POV

"Faster Nimbus!" ChiChi fell asleep not too long ago. I don't know how considering how much pain she had been in, but maybe if she slept it won't hurt as much. I can tell that we're getting closer to the city, all I have to do is find the hospital so the doctors can help ChiChi.

Hopefully none of the doctors will have any needles around...
