Intently he listened to her hums, relaxing in the sweet sound that filled the small bathroom of his home, his sights on the for once happy son that playfully rocked in his arms, cooing adorably as he did so. Today seemed like the start of a good day, his son was happy and most of all so was his wife, but things didn't seem right with him.

Emptying the bath tub he stood to leave, Gohan still in his arms. Again as for most of this morning his began to spin with a cloudy dizziness, a blurring haze of lost memories trying to confront him but failing even as he fought to see them.

Walking forward the feeling slowly began to fade, the distant images in his mind dispersing into ignored and unrecognized, silent thoughts. His hands came to rest on the frame of his son's bedroom door, his breaths deep as he tried to steady his balance and gather his thoughts.

The feeling came alone, no nausea, headache or other sick feelings came with it and it always came in a sudden rush, there was no warning or no particular movement or ambition that set it off, it would just come. It was like he had just awoken from a sort of waking sleep, a sleep where you are aware of the world around you but feel no time or feeling, where once you have awoken you know that you were there and something did happen but are bemused as to what did.

It was like his whole life had become a large blur, where his fait had suddenly changed and now the world around him must twist to accommodate it. Like a large piece of him was now gone, a feeling of complete emptiness in its place, waiting to be filled.

Placing Gohan on the mat, he changed him through habit, the thoughts of confusion and worry for the feelings he felt no longer being acknowledged as he watched and played with his son. Unaware of his wife's presence at the door as she silently watched him, although he had played with him before the wish, he was recognizably mature with it now, more like a Father playing with a child than a child playing with a child.

"Goku honey, why don't we have a family day out" She smiled sweetly at him as he turned to look at her, a pleased look on his face as he eyed her clothing for the day.

"That's sounds like a great idea, of course it can't be too far considering we don't have a car and Nimbus isn't really ideal. How about a picnic down by the lake, that might be nice and maybe get your Father down love, he hasn't seen us for a few weeks now." Somehow what he just said didn't seem right, didn't seem to fit in and once again the dizziness came, whispered echoes humming in his ears as he walked over to his wife, handing over the now dressed child.

As soon as Chichi had happily skipped out the room with their laughing son he sat down on the small corner stool, ignoring the creaks as it tried to support his weight. He could hear something, a voice screaming at him from a distance, he knew it was there, he could just about hear the mumblings but he couldn't understand it or pick it up before it raced away, as fast as it had come.

The lake was peaceful, the gentle trickle of water lulling him into a comforting sleep, warm with the suns rays. Listening to the sounds of his happy family that surrounded him, The Ox-King laughing jollily and loud as he proudly sat with his 'amazing' grandson, his wife shuffling through the picnic basket as she laid out the lunch meal she had prepared and his own relaxed breaths as he laid still and waiting.

The sky above him was clear, clean and right. No clouds touched the sky and the son sat high and mighty above everything, warming those below it with a loving comfort. His eyes turned to watch his now frustrating wife as she lay out the food, rummaging through the crowded picnic basket and muttering angry curses at the food she either left behind or didn't cook.

Standing slowly he headed over to help her, his large hands lovingly taking her and caressing them softly before taking the food out and laying it down. He reflected the adoring smile that was sketched upon her face, laughing at the small blush that crept upon her cheeks every time their eyes or bodies met.

To the side the Ox-King watched them, smiling lightly at the shy and romantic ministrations from his daughter and son-in-law and the more public expression of love they were now expressing. But he couldn't help but pity the boy and ignore the actions, Chichi had told him of her decision to make a wish and as much as he had tried to direct her away from the idea her stubbornness had kept her with the same choice.

Now he would admit that Goku needed some adjusting to his new life but he would also admit that these adjustments would take a while to happen considering the life he had lived so far. Chichi however wouldn't listen, the dreams she had conjured up as a child of her life with Goku seemed to not be coming 100 true and she seemed more focused and paranoid about the life style now and ahead of them.

In front of him stood a young man he knew, a wonderfully kind young man who had always risked his own life for others. All his life he had fought for the right cause, stood up for those unable, protected those too weak to fight and spoke for those who couldn't and that was who he was, fighting was his soul it made him free and well it made him Goku.

Chichi had wished that away, erased the very part of him that she loved: the protective, loving kindness that had come with his power and strength. She had taken away the very essence that made the boy and he had warned her of this, warning her that soon she would be wishing for her old life and the man she had married.

Goku caught the Ox-Kings stare and waved gently at him and his son, a large smile on his face after the play fight him and Chichi just had together. Something seemed to be bothering the older man, there was a glint of worry that Goku had never seen before in his eyes and a solemn expression of concentration that he would never see the mighty Ox-King using.

Lunch had gone well to a point, Gohan had a small tantrum in the middle of it and Goku had to remove himself from the food to see to him and remove him from his now shocked Grandfather. They had then all sat happily talking by the large lake, Gohan once again happy as his parents explained his behavior to Chichi's confused Father, who as an experienced Father could not aid them with any explanation.

Now Chichi sat comfortably resting in her husband's arms, his head drooped back and his eyes closed slightly as they silently caressed each other in sleepy comfort. The T.V spoke silently in the background as the film they had been watching together came to an end. Felling her move in his lap he opened his eyes, her face close to his and her eyes staring intently at him.

"What?" His voice was a playful snap, a smile upon his face as she rested her head on his shoulder. They had done this together often in the evenings and she enjoyed it.

"Goku how do you feel about getting a job, earn some money" She spoke softly, crossing her fingers in her mind as she received no answer. "We could put the extra money towards a University fund for our children's future, we'll be able to afford more children which I think would be nice and we could buy a car and go out, maybe decorate the house a bit more and buy some nicer furniture or just save for any random need"

He sighed and looked at her, his expression showing he was deep in thought.

"Well I don't really want to leave you alone here with Gohan and all the house work, that's not really fair but I suppose it is my duty to provide for you both so sure a job sounds good. What as I don't know but we can think about…."

"How about a doctor! You always liked to help people and that's a job you could apply that too." He chuckled at the enthusiasm in her tone as she suggested a job.

"What about a police officer or a firefighter? They might be good" He suggested lightly, his old sense of danger and adventure apparent still. Her smile faded and he took that as a no.

"Much too dangerous, you could get trapped, hurt or killed and I don't want to always have to worry about you."

"Okay well a doctor it is then, I'll look around for a job."

She stood slowly and walked peacefully to their room, a huge smile upon her face. This wish was a good one and she was thankful the list of things she had wanted to change had been summed up in one wish, that he would have the qualifications to do the job and that finally things would begin to work out for the better.

He followed her up the stairs, the dizziness returning and causing him to struggle. He was so tired and he wanted Chichi, she had looked so pretty at lunch today. The little purple summer dress lightly clinging to her body and revealing a set of wonderfully toned legs that he adored, her hair loose from the heat and the constant smile luring him in every look he got.

The room was lit dimly as he entered to find her dressed and brushing her hair gently in the mirror, he desperately tried to ignore the dizziness in his head, pushing the unclear thought away as he grabbed his wife from behind. Massaging her breasts lightly and kissing her neck passionately, her head lulling loosely to the side and allowing him more access to move before both finally moved towards the bed, their room filled with loving moans as he made love to her.
