The Surrogate Mother
Chapter One
Videl sat in her living room looking through pan's childhood photographs. Out of hundreds of photos, there was only one with pan wearing a dress. At her grandmothers wedding, Chi-Chi had decided that she was to old to wait for Goku to return-if he would return this time-,so she married a man who she has known for years, Yamcha.
It came quite a shock to everyone, as you can imagine. But they couldn't stop her, partly because they didn't really want to, Chi-Chi deserved to have a husband and to be happy, and Yamcha seemed to make her happier then anyone had seen her in a long time.
"What are you doing, Viddy?" Asked Gohan as he sat down on the couch beside his wife.
"Looking at pans photos, and I thought I told you to stop calling me that." Videl said.
"I know, I cant help it sorry." Gohan picked up Videl's glass of wine from the coffee table and took a sip. "I still cant believe Pan wore a dress" Gohan said looking at the picture of Pan at her grandmothers wedding.
"Why are you looking at these?" Gohan asked, then took another sip of Videl's wine.
"Encase you've forgotten Gohan, Our only child moved out this morning." Videl said, then took her glass of wine from Gohan.
"No I haven't forgotten. Listen, if you miss her why don't you go call her, or go visit her? She only lives 20 minutes away." Gohan said laying back on the couch.
"I'm not looking at the photos because I miss her, I mean of course, I do miss her, but that's not the whole reason why I'm looking at the photos." Videl said, then sighed.
"Then why are you looking at the photos?" Gohan asked with his eyebrow raised slightly.
"You know why." Videl gulped the rest of her glass of wine.
Gohan sat up and looked at his wife, who was staring at the photos on the coffee table.
"Videl, don't do this to yourself, it's not going to help. You have to remember that you were lucky enough to have a child, which is more then a lot of people ever get." Gohan put his hand on his wife's shoulder, Videl shrugged it off.
"I don't care what other people have. I want another child, and I know you do too."
"Videl…" Gohan didn't know where he was going with his sentence, it was true that he did want another child, but he couldn't tell his wife that, it would just kill her.
"You want to have a child as much as I do,…but because of me we cant." Videl started to cry.
I Know it was short, but my next chapter will be longer and better.
