Chapter 5

The sound of the storm outside the window filled the room. Standing at the window, curtain held back, the blue hair woman watched as the wind blow the rain in every direction. She let out a sign. It was going to be a miserable day. They will be stuck inside the house since there is no sign of the storm letting up any time soon.

Bulma was still tired. Chichi and her stayed up talking for some time before they tried to get some sleep. Neither woman could get to sleep last night. The noise coming from the room down the hall and the living room kept them up. It didn't bother them that they knew what was happening in the two rooms. It was the noise that they were making.

The blue hair woman was thrilled that her son and Vegeta had finally found themselves a mate. She had always wanted Vegeta to fine someone who would love him. Bulma never thought that person would be Gohan. But when she learned that Gohan was gay, she started wondering if she could get Vegeta and Gohan together. She had known that Vegeta preferred men. He had explained to her one day when Bulma approached him about them getting involved and maybe even marriage. She understood.

Trunks was another story. She discovered Trunks was gay about four years ago. The Briefs and the Sons went on vacation to Hawaii. While on the beach one day, she caught Trunks looking at a group of guys who were finishing up some surfing time. That night, she talked to Chichi, Vegeta and Gohan about that. She really didn't care. She just wanted her son to be happy.

Bulma was happy that Trunks loves Goten. They have been friends since they were babies. They were inseparable. It was only natural they would fall in love. In two years, her son will be going off to college and getting married. She already has plans for Trunks to take over the company when he graduates from college. Which he doesn't know just let.

The bathroom door open as Chichi stepped out. The younger woman was still drying her hair. Bulma glanced over at her and felt sorry for her friend. Sure at first they didn't get along but they became close friends as the years went on. No one knew how much Bulma admired Chichi. Chichi had sat by and watched as her husband and son fought. Always worrying if they will be coming home. She lost Goku three times. The first two times he came back. But the third, Goku wanted to stay dead to protect his family and friends. Chichi accepted his decision and understood. It was hard for her to raise two children alone. Gohan was either at school or training. And Goten. It must have been at hard for her to look at her baby boy and see the face her husband. Everyone was like that. Goten was the mirror image of Goku.

What surprised Bulma was that Chichi never once went out on a date. She knew her friend was lonely in everyway. Everyone asked her why she hasn't started seeing anyone. Even Gohan asked her that question. The reason: she loved Goku. She will not replace him. No one can stand up to him.

"Still storming?" Chichi asked as she sat down on the bed, laying the towel beside her.

"Yeah. Can't see much. I don't think it's going to let up any time soon." answered Bulma.

"Well, might as well get breakfast started. The men will be hungry."

"I bet they will. After last night?"

Both women giggled. Bulma went into the bathroom to take a shower. Signing, Chichi slipped her robe off. For being forty-five years old, she was able to keep her figure. Her face changed, showing that she was getting older. But it was her heart that was affected over the years. With each passing day, it was breaking. And with each day, she was realizing that her Goku was not coming back.

About two years ago, Gohan asked her why she still kept all his father's stuff in it's usually place. It was time to pack them away. Gohan knew in his heart that his dad wasn't coming back. It was time to move on. Chichi refused to pack Goku's things away. She kept them there for when he returned.

Everyone tried to get Chichi to go out. Every other Saturday night was ladies night. Bulma will drag Chichi from the house so they could spend the night on the town. Chichi has fun but she never lets herself look for a man. She just couldn't do it.

Gohan was worried about his mom and talked to Vegeta and Piccolo about it. Vegeta suggested that he would take her out. Maybe if she was with a man, she might reconsider dating. And true to his word, he took her out. He arrived at the house and told her to get dressed. When she didn't, he picked her up and carried her to her bedroom and told her to get dressed up. He was taking her out.

The two had a wonderful time. It wasn't a date. It was two friends going out on the town. Chichi learned a lot about the Saiyan prince. Their friendship had gotten a lot stronger after that night. Chichi still wouldn't date anyone. Everyone gave up. Goku's wife was too stubborn to listen. They just hated to see her grow old lonely.

Digging through the dresser, Chichi found a pair of gray jogging pants. She decided to wear them for something different. In another drawer, she found one of Goku's navy blue t-shirts. Holding the shirt gently in her hands, as if it was a newborn baby, she ran her hand over the fabric. The t-shirt Goku usually wore with his gi. Chichi had lost count the number of times she had sewn it.

Signing, she put the shirt on. Sure it was a little too big for her. She didn't care. At the moment, she wanted something of Goku's close by. Sitting on the bed, Chichi glanced over at the picture of Goku on the nightstand. She keeps the picture there so he was the first she saw waking up and the last when she goes to sleep. Picking up the wooden frame, she gently ran a figure down his face, lovingly. Her heart shattered into pieces as she suddenly realized Gohan was right. Goku wasn't coming back.

Burying her face into her hand, she started to cry. The true she for so long didn't want to hear, was tearing her up inside. Goku and her talked about having more children once Cell was dealt with. Chichi wanted a little girl. They already had a boy. With a girl, she could dress her in pink dresses and do her hair. Chichi got get second child. But the daughter she wanted was a boy. Chichi has always had the feeling that Goku knew he wouldn't be coming back. And knowing this, he left Goten. A way to say I'm sorry and to give her another child. The pain hurt. She raised Gohan and Goten as best as she could. She was glade Vegeta became a father figure to them.

"Chichi, what is it?" Bulma asked as she hurried over to her friend. Coming out of the bathroom, she saw her friend crying. Bulma noticed the picture in Chichi's hand and knew. Wrapping an arm around her shoulders, she tried to comfort her friend. "It's going to be alright, Chi. Just let it out."

Chichi cried harder. Bulma knew this would happen once Chichi realized Goku wasn't coming back. They all knew.

"He's not coming back." Chichi choked out. "He will never see them get married, his grandchildren, Goten graduate from school."

"I know, Chichi. But he did it for you and the boys. He loved you that much. He didn't want anything to happen to you." Bulma tried to comfort her.

"He never said goodbye to me." the dark hair woman said staring at her friend. "I miss him so much."

"We all miss him."

Chichi looked at the picture. She knew what she had to do. Let go and move on. It was going to be hard. She was a strong woman. She will make it through. Putting the picture back on the nightstand, she quickly dried her tears.

"I'm okay now. I know Goku wouldn't want me upset." Chichi stated a she stood up. "Better get breakfast ready."

Bulma was a little worried. She was sure her friend would deal with this. She'll have to tell Gohan and Vegeta. Chichi was going to be relaying on the five of them for support.

"It's quite." Chichi exclaimed as the two walked down the hallway.

They hear no noise out of Goten's room. Goten and Trunks must still be sleeping.

"I still can't believe you, Chichi."

"What?"

"You gave Gohan and Vegeta condoms. I thought you wanted grandchildren?"

"I do. I just didn't want Gohan getting pregnant last night." Chichi answered.

Bulma shook her head in disbelief. The two women stopped in their tracks when they reached the bottom of the steps. On the other side of the couch, on the floor were Gohan and Vegeta, making love. Neither woman knew what to do. They didn't want to interrupt. But Chichi didn't want them to continue either. Chichi cleared her throat to get their attention.

The two Saiyans didn't hear her. Bulma and her glanced at each other. The two men were so involved with each other; they didn't notice they had an audience. Both women cleared their throats louder this time. Gohan's and Vegeta's head snapped up at the sound. They stared wide eye at the two smirking women.

"Go to my room." stated Chichi.

Not wanting to wait around incase she decided to change her mind; the two Saiyans grabbed their boxers. They didn't want the two women overhearing them.

"Last one there is on the bottom." Gohan said as he bolted up the stairs.

The two Saiyans ran down the hallway to the master bedroom. Goten and Trunks peaked out the door, wanted to know what was going on. Vegeta beat Gohan to the room and smirked.

"You loose, Gohan." Vegeta's smirked grow bigger.

"We'll see about that." Gohan stated as he slammed the door shut.

The two demi-Saiyans looked at each other puzzled, shrugged and went back into the room.

Bulma and Chichi stood where they were, not sure if they wanted to hear what Gohan had just said. Shaking their heads, they went into the kitchen.

As they cooked, they begun planning Vegeta's and Gohan's wedding. The wedding was going to be held at Capsule Corp. All the Z fighters were to be invited. Chichi started to cry again. Her baby was getting married and then having babies of his own. Bulma flipped the television on to see if anything has been said about the storm. Nothing has been said about it. Both mothers were thrilled that their sons were finally together.

"Speak of the devils." Bulma said as Goten and Trunks walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning, you two." Chichi smiled.

"Morning." the chibis exclaimed.

"How did you sleep?" the blue hair mother asked.

Trunks and Goten smirked at each other. "Sleep? What sleep?" Trunks exclaimed.

"We know. We heard."

The two teenager's eyes widen as if they were caught in someone's headlights. A deep blush found it's way onto their cheeks. Heads down, they took a seat at the table.

"Is Gohan and Vegeta up? Or are they still sleeping?" asked Chichi as the stove.

"They were in the shower when we came down." answered Goten, pouring a glass of orange juice.

At that moment, the two older Saiyans appeared in the doorway. All eyes turned to them. Vegeta and Gohan stopped, puzzled. Trunks stood up and went over to his father. He checked his neck to see if there was a mark.

"You two didn't mate?" Vegeta's son asked.

"No. We're going to wait until we go home." the prince explained. "I'm not going to mate on you floor."

"Good. Now, everyone sit down, breakfast is ready." Chichi announced.

The family gathered around the table. Over the years, a rule had developed that all non-Saiyan blooded are to gather their food first. This has been drilled into the four Saiyan at the table. The four sat quietly as they waited. Once Bulma and Chichi started eating, nearly all food on the table quickly vanished.

There was small talk between the two women. They've learned to never interrupt a Saiyan while eating.

"That was good, mom." Goten said, sitting back in his chair and patting his stomach.

"Yeah, Chichi." added Trunks.

"Thank you, boys." Chichi smiled a she started clearing off the table.

With Gohan and Vegeta helping, the table was cleared quickly. The two women stood at the sink, washing the dishes as the four men sat at the table. For a few years now, Gohan has been after his mother to get herself a dishwasher. That way she doesn't have to stand at the sink for so long doing the dished. She refused. She preferred to do the dishes by hand.

"Gohan, you seen a little more relaxed today." Trunks observed. "I guess all you needed was some hot monkey sex with dad." He laughed.

"Brat." Vegeta growled at his son.

"No, Trunks. I'm still a little nervous. I can't tell when the storm will be over or how strong it is." Gohan exclaimed.

"Sorry. I just couldn't help it." The lavender hair teen laughed.

"Goten, thanks." Gohan winked at his brother.

Goten caught his meaning and smiled. "Glade it could help."

"Am I guessing that it worked well for you two?" Vegeta asked, smirking.

The two teens smirked at each other. That was a yes. The two women didn't want to know what they were talking about. It was best if they didn't know.

"The storm that is ripping through the mountain areas is causing server damage." The reporter from the news show stated at that moment. Everyone turned to watch the news program.

"Because of the storm, it is too early to give an estimated coast of damage. Rescue and police are having difficulties reaching anyone who had been hurt during this storm. We do know is that the hardest hit area is Granich Valley."

"Granich Valley? Papa, isn't that where you live?" asked Trunks to Gohan.

"Yeah. There's not much I can do until I get home. I just hope everything is alright." replied Gohan.

"I'm sure the house is still standing." Vegeta said, putting a hand on his koi's arm.

"So, when am I getting my grandchild?" Chichi asked stepping over to her older son and future son-in-law.

"After last night, you gave the impression that you didn't want grandchildren." Gohan said innocently as he stared up at his mother. Inside, he was laughing.

"What did she do?" Goten asked.

"She left two condom for us." the prince smirked, crossing his arms over his chest.

The teenagers stared at Chichi as if they couldn't believe what they just heard. They knew she wanted grandchildren so badly. So why did she do it? They couldn't comprehend it.

"I didn't want Gohan getting pregnant last night. Conceiving a baby should be done in the privacy of your home. Not my living room floor." Goku's wife exclaimed.

"That's bull shit and you know it. From the stories you told about how Gohan was conceived, wasn't in private." Vegeta declared.

Gohan looked at his lover then at his mom. He never wanted to know how he was conceived. Just the thought of his parents like that, gave him the willies and grossed him out.

"So, how was Gohan conceived?" Bulma asked, taking a seat at the table to listen to the story.

"I'm not telling." Chichi stated firmly.

"Good. Because I don't want to hear it." Gohan voiced his opinion.

"It seemed that one day while training, Kakarot and Chichi gotten a little horny. So out by a small lake in the middle of a forest, you were conceived, koi."

Gohan's face paled to a deathly white. He didn't want to hear it. Right in front of everyone, Vegeta told them how he was conceived, as if it was a normal conversation. He felt as if he was going to be sick. He couldn't believe his love just did that.

Vegeta was watching Gohan's face. He was getting a kick out of watching his koi's discomfort. He knew the thought of his parents together intimately, crossed him out. He watched as his koi's face gotten paler. Now he was starting to feel bad about doing that to him. So he sent an image of them from last night. He knew that would help him forget what was just said.

Gohan got the image Vegeta sent to him. Seeing his prince deep within him, taking him while Gohan couldn't do anything but moan and wither in pleasure, he blushed. The image was making him hot with need. He felt his member getting hard. The blush turning a deep red, he slipped his hands down between his legs to cover up the growing hard on. He stared down at the tabletop so he didn't have to look anyone in the eye.

"Wow. It must have been some image that dad sent for you to get all hot and bothered." Trunks said.

"Yeah, it must have if Gohan has a erection." Bulma smiled, leaning over the table to get a better look at Gohan's lap.

Gohan's face turned beet red with embarrassment. He glared over at his lover and growled. "You did that on purpose, knowing my reaction." he hissed through clenched teeth.

"Sorry, koi. I thought you would have enjoyed that."

"Enjoyed? If no one was around, yes. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to take a cold shower."

Gohan was about to stand up when Chichi quietly mentioned how he was conceived. Hearing that again, his member went limp and the hot need vanished as quickly as it begun.

"It must have been one hell of a night. We felt Gohan go Super Saiyan. So, what happened to cause that?" Trunks asked, smirking at his fathers.

Gohan and Vegeta glanced at each other. /What do we tell them, Geta/

/I knew they would feel it. Tell them the truth./ Vegeta answered back.

/The truth? Are you sure/

/Yeah. Don't forget, Goten would be going though it in two years. If he knows ahead of time what it is like, he wouldn't be scared. Like I should have told you, Koi./

/If you say so./ Gohan turned to the two teens. "The reason I went Super Saiyan was. . ." He glanced over at his lover and back to the teens. "My birth channel opened."

The two teens stared at Gohan with wide eyes. They couldn't believe that Gohan's birth channel opening caused him to go Super Saiyan, what would it do to Goten? It was very important time for a breeder. It marked that he was ready to breed. Once the channel was opened, there was no going back.

"The birth channel opened? What it felt like?" Goten asked.

"It's kinda like an orgasm. A very strong orgasm. But there was some pain." the older demi-Saiyan stated.

"Pain?" Trunks asked.

"Yeah. The pain is from when the skin pulls apart."

"What happens when it finally opens?" Goten was curious. So far, he didn't like what he was hearing.

"The same result as any other orgasm." Vegeta added.

"Can I see it?" Goten asked, leaning over the table to his brother.

Gohan was shocked to hear his baby brother ask that. He could understand wanting to see what it looks like. But this was his brother! "No."

"Aw, why not?" Goten whined.

"Because. You're my brother. And I really don't think Vegeta would like anyone looking at me down there. No matter who they were." the hero of Earth stated.

"Damn right." the prince growled.

Something popped into Goten's mind. Something was starting to nag at him. "If the birth channel opens when you first have sex with a man, then why didn't my open?"

"Yeah, that's right. Why didn't chibi's open?" asked Trunks.

"I don't know. Could it have something to do position?" Gohan exclaimed, glancing at his lover.

"Could be. You were the submissive one last night. Goten, what position were you last night?" Vegeta asked the younger teen.

Goten just started at Vegeta, puzzled. He didn't understand what the prince asked. "Position?"

"Yeah. Were you on top or bottom?" his brother asked. Still, Goten had no clue as to what was being asked. Groaning, Gohan laid his head in his hand. "Just like dad." He moaned.

Trunks shook his head in disbelief. Vegeta growled. None of them couldn't believe Goten was that dense.

"Goten, were you the uke or the seme?" the prince asked.

It finally dawned on Goten as to what they were asking. "I was the seme. Trunks was the uke."

"It could be that since you were on top, your channel didn't open." Gohan suggested.

"Or it could have something to do with not going through his rut yet." Vegeta stated.

"So, if it doesn't open when I'm on the bottom, then I have to wait until my rut?" Goten was trying to figure out when his birth channel will open.

"Chibi, lets try with you on bottom. And if it doesn't happen, we'll just have to wait until your rut." Trunks exclaimed, touching his lover's hand.

"Okay."

The two teens leaned over and gave a quick kiss. Gohan and Vegeta stared at each other with love in their eyes. Standing up, Vegeta leaned down and passionately kissed his lover. Gohan watched as his lover walked through the kitchen door.

Walking into the living room, Vegeta noticed the folder Bulma brought with her, laying on the desk. He knew she and Gohan was working on a new invention. Usually they tell him about the inventions they were working on. But this time, neither one wanted him to see what was in that folder. It made the Saiyan prince very curious. He wanted to know what they were hiding. Stepping over to the desk, the man picked the green folder marked, "Top Secret" up. Flipping it open, Vegeta couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The folder contained blue prints for a new Gravity Room. The new room was three times bigger then the one he has now. From the designs, it looked like the room had several more features. It could record then person progress so the person could study from it. There was a small room off to one side that was a small changing room, a small bathroom and there was even a small bedroom.

"What the hell are you doing?" a loud voice sounded behind him. Vegeta turned around to come face to face with his pissed off lover. "You weren't supposed to be looking at that." Gohan exclaimed.

Chichi, Bulma, Goten and Trunks heard Gohan's shout and went to see what was going on. They found Vegeta standing there, holding the folder containing the papers for the new Gravity Room.

"This is blue prints to a new GR. I thought you weren't gong to market this." The prince held up the folder.

"We're not. Besides, you weren't suppose to know anything about it yet." Gohan crossed his arms over his chest.

"Then what's it for?" his lover asked.

"Might as well tell you. It's a new GR for your birthday. Bulma's been helping me with it."

Vegeta was surprised. His love was making him a new GR. He loved it when his lover surprises him like that. Smiling, he stepped up to Gohan. The younger man relaxed as their eyes locked.

"It's perfect. Thank you, koi."

"You're welcome."

Their lips brushed against each other as the others watched. Tears formed in Chichi's eyes. Trunks told both of his fathers to get a room. Vegeta growled as Gohan smiled. Bulma, Vegeta and Gohan sat on the couch to go over the new gravity room. Meanwhile, Chichi dragged the teens into the kitchen to help her make some cookies. It was more like they were going to make while she sat at the table and ordered them around.


It was a quite afternoon, even though the house shook with every thunder clap or when there was a gust of wind. Vegeta and Gohan was snuggled together on the couch as they watched a movie. The older man had his arms wrapped around his lover's body. His lover was snuggled against him between his legs. Gohan's head resting on his lover's chest. Their hands were clasped together over Gohan's lower stomach.

Neither one mentioned about having a baby. Gohan has been doing a lot of thinking about that. He already had a son. Trunks was going to be eighteen. So they don't really have to take care of him. But a baby would require a lot of their time. Time Gohan wanted to spend with his future mate.

"Vegeta?"

"Hmm?"

Gohan hesitated before speaking. He didn't know how Vegeta would react to what he was about to say. "How do you feel about waiting to have a baby?"

Vegeta was still as he went over Gohan's question. He was thinking the same thing. He wanted to spend some time with Gohan before they get their hands full of a baby. But he didn't want to mention it in case Gohan didn't want to wait.

Gohan wasn't sure what he lover was thinking. The new bond they has was closed on Vegeta's side. He had the impression that Vegeta wanted a family right away. Right now, all the demi-Saiyan wanted to do was to spend some time alone with his future mate.

"I would like that very much." Vegeta finally spoke.

Surprised by his answer, Gohan turned just enough to see Vegeta. "Really?"

"Yeah. I wanted to spend some us time together. We waited too long just to have family right away." the prince exclaimed.

Tears started to swell up in the corners of Gohan's eyes. "That's what I was thinking. I didn't want to say anything because I thought you wanted a family right away."

"I think we both were thinking the same thing." Vegeta smiled. "So, how long should we wait?"

"Don't know. Two years sound good."

"Two years it is then."

Their lips met. Gohan snuggled back into the warmth of his lover. The two Saiyans were happy. In two years, they were going to start a family. Of course Chichi wouldn't be too happy. But it wasn't her decision. It was theirs. Until then, they weren't going to think about it.

"You lose, Trunks." Goten's voice said from the bottom of the stairs.

The two teens walked over to one of the large arms chairs and sat down. Goten sat on the floor n front of his lover.

"What fame are you two playing?" Vegeta asked, eyeing the two teens.

"Trunks betted that you were making out." Answered the youngest Son boy.

"We would. But mom and Bulma's in the kitchen." Gohan explained, never looking away from the TV. "And I don't feel like having them walk in on us again."

"So that's why you two ran into mom's room this morning."

"Yep."

/Do you think we should ask Trunks now/ Gohan asked through the bond.

/Wait until we're at home./ Vegeta answered back.

"When am I going to be a big brother?" Trunks asked, playing with Goten's hair.

"Yes, Gohan. When am I going to be grandma?" Chichi asked as she and Bulma walked into the room.

"Gohan and I agreed that we'll wait about two years before starting a family."

"We want to spend sometime with each other before having to deal with a baby." Gohan added.

"That's not a bad idea." Bulma said.

Chichi sniffled as tears threatened to fall. "Looks like I'll have to wait longer to be a grandma."

The two women went back into the kitchen to start dinner. After the movie was over, Trunks dug through the VCR tapes and DVD's looking for something to watch. He came across a blank VCR tape. There was a label on the side that read "Son Family". The lavender hair teen asked Gohan about it. His papa never seen it before. Curious, the teen put it in the VCR.

The tape begun in a room. A young Chichi stood beside a crib, smiling off camera. The camera then turned to show Goku standing at a baby changing table. The screen moved to show a baby on the table, laughing.

"Okay, Gohan. You be good while I change your diaper. I don't understand why your mommy is making me do it? So bare with me. This is my first time changing a diaper."

Baby Gohan laughed, waving his hands in the air. Unfastening the straps on the diaper and opening it, Goku's face wrinkled up in disgust.

"Gohan! Damn you stink!" Goku exclaimed, holding his nose. "Chichi, I can't do this."

"Yes, you can, Goku. What happens if I'm not here and Gohan needs to be changed, hmm?" his wife asked.

Goku thought about it. He hung his head in defeat. He opened the diaper and swallowed heard.

The kitchen door flow open and Chichi hurried into the living room. She thought she head Goku's voice. At first she thought he returned. But when she got into the room, she saw the tape. Watching the television, tears begun to form.

"There you go, Gohan. All done." Goku exclaimed fastening the diaper closed. "It wasn't that hard."

Goku held his son up only to have the diaper fall off. Gohan let out a high pitch laugh as he peed over the front of Goku's shirt. The father stood there, blinking. Chichi's face turned red from laughing so hard. The Ox King's deep voice was heard from behind the camera.

"Give me Gohan and you go change. And put that shirt in the laundry." Chichi stated as she took Gohan from Goku.

She busied herself changing Gohan as Goku left the room.

The scene then changed to show Goku sitting in the rocker, holding Gohan. A humming was heard as Goku rocked his son.

"That's pretty. Where did you learn that?" Chichi asked as she stepped up beside her husband and son.

"I don't know. It's from a dream I have sometimes."

"A dream? Tell me about it." Chichi sat down on the rocker's foot stole.

"I think it's when I was born. A man is holding me. He's humming and smiling at me."

"What's he look like?" his wife asked.

"He looks like me. But has a scare on his left cheek." Replied Goku.

"Must be Kakarot's father, Bardock." Vegeta stated. "They could be twins. Identical twins."

"Wow. It must runs in the family. Goten said, running his figures through his hair.

"Gohan, I just want you to know I'll always love you. Even when you hate me, I'll still love you. I don't' know what kind of father I'll be. I've been use to taking care of myself. Then your mom came around. She knows how to take care of herself but she also relays on me as well. But you. You're so small and you have to depend on others. What I'm trying to say is that, I'm not perfect. And neither is your mom. We'll make mistakes. Some big and some small. And I hope you can forgive me when the time comes.

"You're the most paresis thing to happen to me. I'll try my hardest to be a good father."

Goku gently kissed Gohan's head. The baby grabbed his index finger and held it. They stared at each other. Goku started to hum again.

The television went to snow, signaling the tape was over. Watching the tape and hearing Goku's voice, Chichi cried harder. It hurt. Now she knows he's not coming back. And watching the tape, forced the realization to really sink in. Unable to hold it in any longer, Chichi ran up the stairs.

"Mom?" Gohan asked puzzled as he stood up.

"She finally realized Goku's not coming back." stated Bulma.

Gohan stood there for a few heartbeats before running up the stairs. Goten was close behind him. Vegeta, Trunks and Bulma didn't move. That was between the Sons. Silently, Vegeta cursed Goku at what he did to his family. He made a promise that when he goes to the Other World, he will find him and beat the shit out of him.

"Is Chichi going to be alright?" Trunks asked.

"In time she will." his mother answered.

The static on the tape gave way to show a room. The room was a nursery. Sounds were coming from the crib. The camera was moved to show the baby in the crib. The baby was a mini clone of Goku.

"That's Goten. Vegeta stated.

A shadow fell over Goten. "Hey there, little guy." the owner of the shadow said.

The three people stood, shocked as they watched. They doubted any of the Sons knew this was there. Vegeta hurried up the stairs to get the family.


Chichi sat on her bed, crying. She couldn't watch anymore. It was too painful. A soft knock came from the door before it opened.

"Mom, you okay?" Gohan asked as he stepped into the room. The woman quickly dried her tears. The man sat down beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders and held her. "It's going to be okay."

The door opened again and Goten entered. Seeing his mom, he hurried over and sat on the other side of her.

"All these years, I kept a little hope, hope that Goku would return. But this morning, I realized, he's not coming back. Sixteen years I've waited." Chichi said, wiping away more tears. "I'll be alone fro the rest of my life."

"You're not going to be alone. We're here." said Goten.

"Goten, I don't thinks she means alone like that. She's talking about a mate lonely." Gohan corrected his brother.

"Oh. Well, we'll just have to fix that then. We'll find you a boyfriend." Goten smiled putting his arm around his mom.

"Thank you, sweaty. But not right now." Chichi smiled, patting her son's leg.

"When you're ready, we'll help find someone for you. And you can't have Vegeta. I know he much fun you two had that time. But he's off limits." replied Gohan.

"I don't know. We did have fun. Plus, it would be nice to have another Saiyan mate." Chichi tried not to smile. She loved to tease her sons.

Before Gohan could comment, the door flew open. "You need to take a look at something." Vegeta exclaimed.

"Geta, what is it?" asked the prince's lover.

"There's something else on that tape you need to see."

Gohan knew something was wrong with the tape. Vegeta wouldn't be acting like that.

The four headed back down stairs. Trunks had already rewound the tape to that spot. Once they were there, he hit play.

The nursery came into view with sounds coming from the crib. The camera is moved to show the Goten reaching for the mobile that was above the crib. A shadow fell over the baby.

"Hey, there little guy." Goku bent over the crib and took one of Goten's hands.

Seeing Goku talking to Goten, Chichi was too stunned to think. Gohan couldn't move. His father was talking to his brother. And Goten didn't know what to say.

"I can't believe how much you look like me. A mini clone." Goten looked over at his father. Goku chuckled. "You're probably wondering who I am, huh? I'm Goku, your daddy." Goku turned serious. "I'm sorry, Goten, for not being here. I did what I thought was the best for you, your mom and brother. I didn't want someone going after you. Every time I turned around, there was someone there trying to kill me. If I was dead, then the meanies wouldn't bother you guys. I just hope you can forgive me for not being here."

Goku reached down into the crib and picked up the baby. His body was transparent with a halo above his head. The father cradled his son as he sat in the rocker. He begun rocking his son.

"You're probably wondering why I'm here if I'm dead. Well, I wanted to see and to hold you. I saw you being born and saw how happy your mom and Gohan were.

"I knew they would be. I knew I wouldn't be coming back. I gave you to your mom so you would keep her company. A present that tells her I love her very much."

"Oh my god!" Chichi exclaimed as her hand flow to cover her mouth.

"I don't believe it." replaid Vegeta.

"All this time we wondered if dad knew about Goten before the games. He did." Gohan said, shocked.

"So dad purposely got mom pregnant with me?" Goten asked.

"Yes." Gohan answered, looking at his little brother.

Goku started humming. Goten grabbed one of his figures and held it. They stared at each other. The father leaned down and kissed his son's head.

The camera focused on the door as it opened. Chichi stepped into the room, looking around. Seeing the crib, she smiled. She walked over to it and stared down at her son.

"You playing treats on mommy?" A squeal of laughter was her replay.

She noticed the window was opened. She went to close it when she spotted a flower on the window seal. She picked it up and tears swelled up.

"I remember that day." Chichi said as tears rolled down her checks.

"Where was I?" asked Gohan.

"You were with Vegeta on one of your training weekends. I just finished the laundry and was putting it away. I was heading back down stairs to fix something for dinner. I was walking past Goten's room when I heard humming coming from inside. I just thought you came back early, Gohan. No one was there. The flower is my favorite. No one but Goku knew that. Every time I think of that day, I always got the feeling that Goku was there and he left the flower."

"So that's where the dried flower on your nightstand came from." said Goten.

"Yes. I've kept it all these years."

"Hey! Something's happening." Trunks pointed out.

Chichi stood watching her son when Goku stepped up behind her. He laid a hand on her shoulder and stared at his son. Chichi reached up and laid her hand where Goku's would have been.

Everyone in the room was shocked. Chichi more so. The woman couldn't believe her husband was actually standing there. She had wondered if he was there because she kept sensing he was there. Now she knew.

"I love you, Chichi." Goku said. "Take care of our boys. I miss you so much."

Chichi picked up her son and held him. Goku turned to the side. He kiss his infant son's head and kissed his wife's cheek.

"I love you both so much. Goodbye, Goten. Goodbye my love."

Goku faded away. Tears were rolling down Chichi's cheeks. Quickly, she dried the tears ad walked out of the room, carrying her son.

The scene then switched to a forest at night. Gohan and Vegeta were sleeping around a burned out campfire. Goku suddenly appeared. Because of the dark, he gave off a slight glow. He walked over to his son and knelt down beside him.

"I'm proud of you, son. And I'm sorry. I did what I thought was best. I knew you were capable of destroying Cell. That's why I had you fight. I couldn't beat him. The first time in my life, I couldn't win. I hope you could forgive me for that and putting Earth's survival on your shoulders. I love you, Gohan."

Goku kissed his son's forehead and stood up. He glanced over at Vegeta who was a dew feet from his son.

"Take care of him, Vegeta. I know how much you love him."

Goku faded into the dark. The picture then went to snow.

None of them knew what to say. Goku had come to see his newest son. The Son family was in tears. Gou loved his family very much to risk getting into trouble to see them. Chichi couldn't understand how he recorded it when there was no camera in Goten's room. Gohan joked that King Kai had the camera. In all their hearts, a warm feeling formed. Goten had always wanted to meet his dad.

During the Buu crises, Gohan and Vegeta got to see Goku. The fallen hero helped Gohan reach his mystic form. He also helped Vegeta get stronger. Goten didn't get the chance to meet him when he was killed and was on the Grand Kai's planet. Now after seeing that tape, the teen felt even more closer to his dad.

The rest of the evening they ate dinner and gathered around the television and watched home movies. Everything else was forgotten. Even the storm raging outside was forgotten.


Well what do you think? Don't be afraid to tell me it sucked. I really didn't like how it came out. But that's how the old brain worked it.

Tell me what you thought!
