Chapter 68: A little get together

After dinner, mom allowed us to take a bath outside. The fun part was that all 3 of us did it together. It was rare Gohan took baths with me, after a long while. But it was so awesome to share it with him, and dad. I felt good saying that word. I have a dad now. I get to do stuff him and Gohan used to do, maybe even other stuff. Mom always did say that Gohan grew up different than me. So, that means, I get to have a different type of relationship with dad. I'm so happy.

After bath time, I asked my parents if I could sleep in their bed tonight. Surprisly, it was Gohan who said no. Even said he's sleeping in my room tonight. I wonder why he's doing that. Mom face got all red, and so did dad, till it turned to a weird smile. Gohan saw that, and made a gross face. Dad started to laugh behind his hand, and mom hit his arm. "That's it. Goten we're going camping." He then dragged me out the house. I looked back to see what mom would say, only see dad covering mom's mouth. What in the world? Some reason I felt mad. This is so not fair. When Gohan got me outside, he whisper how he told me about mom and dad needing private time. Oh yeah. With that I got happy again, and followed Gohan.

…

"So, I'm guessing you gave Gohan 'the talk.'" I couldn't help to blush at that, as I nodded. "So, does that mean we got the house to ourselves for the night?" Oh my. It's been so long since I heard him speak like that. It actually made me nervous. When I knew I only had a day with him, I was ready to do anything. But now that he's back for good, I can't help feel nervous. "It's ok." He kissed my forehead, and hugged me. "We don't have to, tonight. We can take our time." He then kissed my neck. "Even though I want to, but I'll be content to at least hold you all night." I couldn't help smile at that, and we walked up to our room. It felt nice thinking that again.

"Should we at least let them know they could come back?"

"Na. We might not be doing anything, but doesn't mean I don't want to spend alone time with you." That actually made me happy. "Now come on. Knowing you, you probably have a lot to yell at me about. So, here's you chance. You got an early start." He kept smiling, as we sat on the bed. "Come on, let me have."

"Fine, but no complaining mister."

"Can I pout?" I shook my head. "Can I kiss your nose, or anywhere else, if you start crying?" I shook my head again. "Am I allowed to say anything?" I shook my head again. "Ok, let me hear it." I took a deep breath before I spoke.

"You no good jerk! How could you do that to me? Why didn't you want to come back? Especially knowing I was pregnant with Goten! I felt really hurt! I could understand your reasoning, but it still hurt! I needed you! It was extremely hard without you! Not only did I had to go through Gohan having constant nightmares for THREE FULL MONTHS! I had to ask my dad for help! You know how much I hate that! Goten was born a month early, because of all the stress I was under! If it wasn't for dad AND Bulma helping me, I don't think I would have been able to feed my babies! It was super hard! For goodness sake, Goku! They have YOUR stomach! And if it wasn't for Bulma's help, I don't even think I would have been able to put the boys through school! GOKU! Since you're back, your keeping your promise about getting a job! No but's or and's about it, mister! And one more thing!" I finally started to cry, and I hugged him. "I missed you so very much!" I then sobbed all the pain I had held back. All the tears I tried to not shed. All the hurt I felt for not having my husband by my side. I could feel him rubbing my back, and rocking me. It felt so good to let it all out.

"You sure that's everything? Don't hold back on me."

"It's hard taking care of a teenager. And it gets very cold at night. And there's nobody that cuts deer meat into heart sharps. You know how much I love that. And I just really miss all the things you do for me. Plus, just having you here. And I miss everything about you, even your dirty laundry." We both giggled at that. "I mean it, too. Like I don't know how, but you always manage to keep the heart tag dry from sweat." I looked up at him. "How do you do that?"

"Not telling. That's my own little secret."

"Well, mister, you have 7 years' worth of boo boos to kiss. And you got plenty of time to make it up to me." He then kissed my forehead. "Hey. I said no kissing while I'm angry at you."

"No, you said no kisses while you're crying. You're not crying, so that means I get to kiss you." I couldn't help smile at that. "Now, are you sure you let it all out?" I nodded. "Good. Now get your pretty butt over here. Am I allowed to say stuff now?" I thought about that, while we got under the covers, and I snuggled into him.

"Fine. You can say stuff now. But if you let me go for any reason, you can't speak no more."

…

Hearing Chichi go on about how much pain I caused her, made me feel so hurt. I can't believe my little wife had to go through so much, when I was gone. She has every right to be hurt by my actions. And I'm going to try everything to not repeat that mistake. She then started crying into my chest, and I tried my very best to comfort her. When she stopped, I asked her if she sure she's done. "It's hard taking care of a teenager. And it gets very cold at night. And there's nobody that cuts deer meat into heart sharps. You know how much I love that. And I just really miss all the things you do for me. Plus, just having you here. And I miss everything about you, even your dirty laundry." We both giggled at that. "I mean it, too. Like I don't know how, but you always manage to keep the heart dry from sweat." She looked up at me. "How do you do that?"

If I told her that, she might get mad. Then again, maybe not. But I won't tell her yet. "Not telling. That's my own little secret."

"Well, mister, you have 7 years' worth of boo boos to kiss. And you got plenty of time to make it up to me." I kissed her forehead. "Hey. I said no kissing while I'm angry at you."

"No, you said no kisses while you're crying. You're not crying, so that means I get to kiss you. Now, are you sure you let it all out?" She nodded. "Good. Now get your pretty butt over here. Am I allowed to say stuff now?" We got under the covers, and she snuggle into me.

"Fine. You can say stuff now. But if you let me go for any reason, you can't speak no more." I don't plan on ever letting you go, ever again. I wrapped her in my arms and legs, and had my face in the comfort of her neck.

"Let's see. I'm the biggest jerk in the world, for making my perfect little wife go through, what she did." I kissed her neck. "I'll gladly get a job, if it makes this pretty lady happy." I kissed her again. "I'm here now, so I'll do everything I can to make you happy. Oh and." I nipped her neck. "There were a few things that got me very mad. Do you want to hear them?" She nodded. "The guys, I trained with in otherworld, kept telling me that there was a chance you moved on. It really upset me. I even punched one or two of them, and threated the rest." I moved from her neck, and got a nice view of her face. "Have you thought of moving on?"

"NO! NEVER! Bulma tried suggesting it, but Vegeta surprising stood up for me. Saying how once a sayian mates for life, that's it. No other could take their place. I felt really happy when he said that. Cause there really is no other man for me, other than you. And only you. I would wait forever just for you." I couldn't help kiss her.

"And I would do the same for you. The guys also pissed me off when they suggested I look at dirty magazines." She had a disgust face. "I know, right. One even question what is it about you that I can't get over. Like they asked if you are one hell of a beauty, to keep me under your spell." I kissed her again. "You are the most beautiful woman to me. From your looks, to your soul, to the very beautiful heart you have. Everything about you is just perfect. You are my heaven." I kissed her again, but much deeper. When we parted, I looked deep into her eyes. "And when I was dead, I was in hell without you. I left my heart and soul with you, and now that I'm back, I feel complete." We ended up kissing one more time, before we fell asleep. This is just bliss.

…

Dad and mom's ki aren't doing that weird thing. So, looks like it might be safe to come home tomorrow morning. Goten is complaining though about not being in his bed. "Kiddo calm down. It's only for tonight. Next time I'll drag you into the lake."

"If you do, I'm telling Videl on you." That's it! "I'm sorry! My head already hurts."

"So, just fall asleep. At least I found a comfy spot." He stick his tongue at me, before turning around. The last thought I had, before I fell asleep, was how awesome today had ended up. Not only is dad back, I even got a girlfriend. Videl is awesome.

…

As I woke up, I felt way too hot. Why do I feel hot? I tried moving, only to feel stuck. So, I tried opening my eyes, and lord and behold, I was staring at a well define shoulder. I first panicked, till I remembered whose shoulder it belong to. So, I really wasn't dreaming? He's really back? I just couldn't help snuggle closer. The best part, I could hear him snoring. I really didn't want to leave this little piece of heaven. Well, till a certain little boy started knock on the door. I tried to get out of Goku's hold, but it only became tighter. "Goku, wake up. I have to make breakfast." He still isn't morning. "Come on, I'll even make your favorite." Still nothing. "Mister, let me go or else."

"I'll take or else. I don't wanna let you go yet." Awe, he was being so cute. I kissed his shoulder, and he kissed my forehead. The moment I looked up at him, he landed a kiss on my lips. "Good morning, beautiful." I couldn't help blush at that.

"Good morning, handsome." He kissed me again, before letting me go. "Blueberry pancakes?"

"Yes. I'll be down in a bit. I want a few more minutes." I couldn't stop smiling at that.

…

It can't be. There's no way. This is definitely proof yesterday wasn't a dream. "Mom! What's this stuff in the pancakes?" Yup! It wasn't a dream!

"BLUEBERRIES!" Goten looked at me weird, as I dig into my stack. "Mm! They're just as good as I remembered! Mom you're awesome!" I really hope mom is in the mood to make a lot more. When Goten finally took his first bite, he looked so happy. That's when we heard a yawn behind us, and we all looked. It was dad! Goten almost knocked him over, with his hug. Dad walked over to the table and placed Goten in his seat, before walking over to mom. He hugged her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. It's been so long since I've seen him do that.

Mom really was in a good mood. Not only did she make extra pancakes, for all of us, she also ate more than her usually. She must really miss blueberry pancakes, as much as me. And looks like Goten found his new favorite. But mom had to ruin the moment, when she mentioned we had to go back to school not week. "But mommy! Please! I don't want to go back! I wanna stay home, with you and daddy!" Leave it to Goten to say what I also wanted to say.

"Too, bad. You two missed a lot of days, can't have you missing anymore." We looked over to dad. Help us. "Oh no you don't! Not even he could save you from this." Dad just grin, and tried to ask mom to let us have at least another two weeks. "Mister! Last, I recall, you said you wasn't going to interfere with Gohan's studies, that goes for Goten, too. So, zip it." Damn it all. At least he tried. Even Goten looked disappointed.

The phone started to ring, and mom went to get it. The moment she was out of sight me and Goten looked to dad. "Come on. Help us out here. I can't go back after what happened! It was already stressful! Now everyone is gonna know I'm an overpowered freak! Come on dad!" Even Goten was latched onto dad's leg.

"But you know how your mother gets." Oh, he's not talking his way out of this one.

"Come on! You just have to do something! Anything!" He look towards where mom disappeared, then back at us. Please tell that's a good sign! He smiled and shook his head. Yes! I pulled Goten away, and watched dad head towards mom's direction. Next thing we heard was a slam. When me and Goten went to get see what made that noise, we saw dad on the ground, under mom's foot, while she was still on the phone. Looks like it's still a no.

"Bye Bulma." Mom then turned to use. I was just about to retreat, when called my name. "Did you really try to get your father to change my mind?" I said sorry, but then I saw mom smile. "I guess one more week wouldn't hurt. Oh, and Bulma and company is coming over. So, if you like, invite Videl." Now I felt my face burn, and dad and Goten were laughing at me. Jerks! And if on que, the doorbell rang. Mom was going to get it, till dad grabbed her leg. "Goku let go."

"No, let Gohan answer it." Mom looked over to me, and I swear my face was on fire. She was even smiling. The door rang again. "Son, don't you have something to do?" He's setting me up. Damn it!
