Chapter 5: Meet Dr. Harrison
After I saw Gohan and Piccolo leave, I waited patiently alone. When Dr. Nicholas returned, he was being accompanied by a taller man. Unlike Dr. Nicholas' charcoal hair, this one had brown. He even seemed more laid back than Dr. Nicholas. "Mrs. Son, this is Dr. William Harrison. He's our therapist for both veterans and spouses of veterans. To top it off, he's very trustworthy, I ashore you."
At first, I didn't know what to say, other than greet him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Son. Please come to my office and let us just talk."
…
"Mrs. Son, please tell me about yourself."
"Well, where do I begin?" I felt nervous as I fidget with my fingers.
"There's no pressure. Take your time. Start simple and work your way up."
I nodded and thought for a moment. "I'm a happy mother of a wonderful son. I'm even expecting another child, of the same father. I'm a happy housewife. Well, it would be a happy house widow now." I tried to force out a chuckle. "I grew up what is formally known as Fire Mountain. I'm a formal princess; daughter of the Ox King." When I said that, he seemed amazed. At that, I couldn't help smile a bit. "I met my husband when we were 12, and we promised to marry each other one day." That got me to giggle a bit. "I must admit it was still, and he didn't understand what I was talking about at the time."
"That must be a fond memory."
I continued smiling. "It was. Our first date ended up with us sparring. It was so much fun. That's something that also brought us together, our love for a challenge. I'm also a fighter, even though I gave us that titled long ago. But I still train." I laughed behind my hand. "All for the fun of it. I even entered the 23rd Martial Arts tournament and made it to the top 8. I was even lucky to be matched up with my Goku." The moment I said his name, my smile went away. I felt the tears building up. "My Goku." And that's when I just gave in and cried.
