I know I said this chapter would be longer, but it isn't, so sorry, however I do think it is a little better then my first chapter.
The Surrogate Mother
Chapter 2
It was the morning after Pan moved out of her parents house.
Videl had fallen asleep on the couch. She finally fell asleep after hours of crying, Gohan should have put her to bed, but after hours of cradling his weeping wife he didn't want to risk waking her now she had finally fell asleep.
Gohan tiptoed downstairs, in his pyjamas, he looked over to the couch where his wife was.
'Good, she's still asleep' Gohan thought. Just as he thought that the phone started ringing.
'Crap!' Gohan thought, dove towards the phone and picked it up.
"Hello?" Gohan whispered in to the receiver, while looking over at Videl who was still asleep.
'Morning daddy' Said Pan's voice through the receiver.
"Hi, Pan. What do you want?" Gohan whispered, still looking over at Videl.
'Why are you whispering?' Pan whispered.
"Your mothers asleep on the couch." Gohan whispered, turning away from Videl.
'Oh, Ok. I just wanted to know when Grandmas party-thingy was.' Pan said.
"You mean your Grandmothers wedding anniversary party? Its tomorrow night. And before you say anything, yes you have to come." Gohan whispered.
'That sucks!' Pan shouted, then she slammed the phone down.
Gohan put the phone down, and turned around to see his wife sat up leaning slightly forward on the couch.
"Morning." Videl said. Her voice sounded croaky, and even though she had been asleep for hours, she had bags under her eyes.
"Morning." Gohan said back. "Are you okay?" Gohan asked.
He still stood near the phone, which was a bit of a distance from the couch, it was like he thought if he went near Videl she would break out in tears again.
"What are we going to do?" Videl said, then she rested her head in her hands.
"I don't know, Viddy." Gohan said.
Normally when he called her Viddy she would tell him off, but this time she didn't.
"We cant go on like this, we have to do something." Gohan knew she was right, but what could they do? They wanted to have a child. But how could they if Videl couldn't get pregnant? He knew that there were options that they could consider, but he didn't really like the idea of them.
"There are some options we could consider, Viddy." Gohan moved over to the couch and sat down on it.
"We cant adopt." Videl said, raising her head from out of her hands. "I know it would be disappointing to you if our child wasn't part Saiyan." Videl said.
It was like she read hid mind.
"If we don't want to adopt, what are we going to do?" Gohan asked, now with his head in his hands.
"We could think about,…Surrogacy." Videl said.
Gohan raised his head out of his hands and looked at his wife.
"Surrogacy…" Gohan said blankly.
I suppose it doesn't really matter what they chose to do, every option would mean having a child which would never really be a part of Videl.
Thanks for reading.
