Chapter 31: New Life
"Congratulations! You're going to be parents!"
Me and Chichi were speechless for a good minute, then Chichi burst into tears and started hugging me. All I could hear was muffle noise, as I my brain tried to catch up to what was going on. Parents. Parents? Pare… PARENTS! CHICHI PREGNANT! I hugged Chichi. So, exciting! It took us both a while to remember that Dr. Knight was in the room, when we finally stopped hugging. Chichi was still bouncing with excitement as the doctor try to explain something to us.
"The test results states you're about a month and a half into your pregnancy, in other words 6 weeks. When I said that the test results came out funny, was because they were picking something else up."
Chichi stopped bouncing and grew concerned, so did I. Chichi timidly asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing bad, I can assure you. Sometimes these tests do pick up something extra, like an extra high level of a different hormone. But nothing to worry about. On a happier note, please make an appointment for the up-coming month." Chichi nodded, made the appointment and left to see Ox King.
After telling her father the news, and being tightly hugged by him, we started head home. The sun was just setting when we finally got home. Once the door was close, I picked up my wife and couldn't help spin around the room. We laughed; the excitement of the day still haven't died down.
As Chichi tried to cook, I couldn't stop holding onto her. I couldn't stop admiring that small ki signature, that was our child, growing in her. We created something completely new. While we ate, I still couldn't put Chichi down. I even feed her off my plate, when we done with hers. And the excitement didn't stop in the bedroom either. I just couldn't keep my hands off her, to the point we were coming down from another climax.
Keeping my hand on her, I kept kissing my Chichi. "I finally gave my beautiful, amazing wife a baby. I got my perfect Chichi pregnant. I'm giving my incredible wife want she wants. I'm making her happy." She turned around and kissed me, she then sat on me. "Mm."
"Goku, I love you."
"I love you, too, my perfect Chichi." She started a slow motion. "Ah."
The next day I didn't want to leave Chichi alone. "Goku, I'll be fine." She kissed me.
"I know." I kissed her back. "I'll make sure not to be too focus, so call me if anything. Ok?"
"Yes, Goku." Just when I was about to walk out the door. "Um, Goku?" I looked back to Chichi. "Could you hunt fish for dinner today." I gave her a quick nod and was out.
…
These first few months seemed to go quickly, and Goku's panic attacks were becoming time-able. He panics every time he can't feel my ki, and comes rushing home. He says how my ki keeps changing. He goes how sometimes it high, or it would be normal, or would be so low that it seems I was gone. I did notice, when he does come home in a panic, it's usually when I'm very calm or had took a nap. He actually became the perfect alarm clock.
I would joke with him about that, and he would get so mad. "Chichi! It's not funny! I actually get very worried!" I keep trying to reassure him, and he never stays mad for too long. Sometimes he would just not go training at all, and watch over me. Unless I kick him out to hunt me something. And when I told him how I read in books the unborn baby could hear us talking to them, he was so amazed. So, everyday when said good morning and good night to me, he would do the same to our child.
Right now, we're just relaxing on the couch. After we found out we were having a boy, last month, I started working on a baby blanket. And Goku was snuggling up to me, and rubbing my belly. We then felt a kick, and Goku got so excited. He placed his ear on my bell, and listened to our child.
Sometimes Goku would even talk to our son. "Hey baby, it's daddy. Me and mommy can't wait to see you. Mommy is even making you a special blanket. Mommy is so great, you're gonna love her so much."
I then also rubbed my belly. "And your daddy is also so great, and you're going to love him so much too." We shared a warm smile, before he gave my belly a kiss, and then we shared a kiss on the lips.
He rubbed my belly, and leaned on my shoulder. "I still can't believe he's going to have a tail, like his daddy had." I, too, was still in disbelief. With the way last month was, I'm happy we're happy now. "Oh, he's kicking again." He placed his head back on my belly. "You hurt mommy when you do that, so be careful little guy." This is so wonderful.
…
It's been 5 months and we were waiting on Dr. Knight. Today Chichi was getting another ultra-thingy. Today we were supposed to find out what gender our baby will be. "I hope it's a boy."
"Why's that Chichi?"
She gave me this warm smile. "I just always wanted a boy to be my first child. I must sound silly."
I kissed her cheek. "Not silly at all. Boy or girl I'll be happy. Especially because it's our child." She giggled at that. "I will admit, it would nice to see a little Chichi running around." She blushed at that one. We were about to share a kiss, when Dr. Knight entered the room.
Everything was going so well; I was even able to make out a baby on the screen. I couldn't help to say hi, when I did 'he' moved. And that's when we all saw it, and mine and Chichi went through the roof. Our son was going to have a TAIL! He was going to have something that I truly missed. Chichi thought it was cute that our son got that from me. But the doctor had another reaction. She was worried, stating how this wasn't normal.
We ending up taking all these tests, and if Chichi wasn't there some of these 'doctors' would have gotten hurt. They even poked me with the weird object. The first few times my skin broke the metal parts. They had to get a had to use another tool to find a 'soft spot' on my skin, that also lead to a vein. When they finally stick the metal end in me, it was a weird sensation, and they took blood. If they wanted blood, I could have bit my lip or something; instead of poking the heck of both my arms.
Then they wanted to do that to my tail. I almost the choked the doctor who tried, and I gave the others a warning. I only agreed that they could take hair samples, and Chichi held my hand through that pain. They took pictures, and then we were told we had to wait for the test results to come in. I left extremely angry, and Chichi looked depressed. Not a good combination for those three days of waiting.
She didn't want me touching her, but that didn't stop me from doing so. I hate her upset, and she can be very stubborn when like that. At night she would try to kick me away, or throw me out. But she doesn't get that, I'm not leaving her like this. She's not the only one stubborn in this house. Even though her stubbornness and anger was a turn on, this was not the time. I'll get her back for that another day.
She was so upset she didn't want to cook, and I didn't want to leave her alone. We were on a standstill, neither want to make a move. If she wanted me to hunt her something, she had to be in the same spot till I came back. If she would move then no back massage, that always works. And when the day finally came to find out the results, we were slightly calmer.
What we found out made me feel horrified. I was completely different from what a 'human' supposed to be and have. Not even known animals match me. The fact that Chichi got pregnant at all was a miracle. How it was that she had the rare blood type, that was surprisly combatable with my unknown blood. Dr. Knight even suggested after our child is born to continue testing. I was surprised how angry Chichi got at that. It also surprised and concerned the doctor that Chichi wanted a home-birth. The doctor tried to get me to see her side, but I support my wife's choices.
It was quiet between us for the rest of that day. I even cooked, to give Chichi a break. Neither us were able to sleep that night. The next day things slowly started to get back to normal. I even suggested we went for a walk; we ended up in front of grandpa. When we got there a strange sense of peace washed over us.
…
"I'm still upset that we might not have a big family." Goku kissed my cheek.
"Doesn't mean we can't try." He's so sweet.
"You're right. No matter how many we have, even if we just have one. This one will never go a day without being smother in love, and any other sibling we give him."
"Exactly. Now get your butt over her." I giggle as I on top of him for bed. Some reason, having him under me, and hugging me, keeps our little one calm enough that I can sleep. "Guess he just likes it was he's held by mommy and daddy." I couldn't agree with him more.
The day was closing in on us, and our excitement grew. My dad even started sleeping over to bed with us when the day came. Also, with dad here, Goku didn't panic right away when he went training. Last month he even went on a full day training trip. When he came home, he was so excited. It was because he happen to come across his grandpa dragon ball. He was so happy, even stating how, it's almost like his grandpa will be here when our son is born.
"Goku?" He looked at me. "I was thinking. Since, the other names we choose you didn't agree on. What if we name our son, you know, after your grandpa?" It felt like time froze when gave me the most heart touching smile.
"You really want to do that?" I felt myself blush, and I happily nodded. "Chichi, you really are perfect." He pulled me into a kiss, and rubbed my belly. "What do think about that Gohan?" You could feel the pride coming off of Goku as warm vibes. This was just a beautiful moment.
…
The day was here, and I was kicked out the room. I couldn't stop pacing back and forth. Ox King was trying to calm me down, but it wasn't working. I could hear her screaming, and it made me worried more. Every time I wanted to go back into the room, Ox King tried to stop me. "But Chichi needs me!" But he kept insisting that she was in good hands.
Hours felt like years, when Dr. Knight finally came out. When she said I could finally see Chichi and our son nothing else matter. I rushed into the room to see my wife hold a small bundle in her arms. She looked exhausted, but had the biggest smile on her face. When I walked over to her, and looked down at the small bundle. It was a small, pudgy baby face surrounded by the blanket. I felt my heart warmed at the sight. "Do you want to hold him, Goku?"
I wasn't too sure. It would be my first time holding a baby, and I didn't want to hurt him. You'll be fine. She gave me a big smile, as she told me how to hold him. The moment I held him in my arms, close to my chest, I felt a puzzle piece that was missing was finally put together. I felt whole. "Hey little guy. I'm daddy." I said as I poked his cute little cheek, and he smiled. My smile just continued to grow. I then looked over to a smiling Chichi. "You did great hon." She blushed at that.
Right now, everything was just perfect. My perfect wife smiling, our perfect newborn son smiling, and the pride growing with every moment.
