After I discovered my father knew of the affair, I was crushed. I left Bra without a word and flew as fast as I could to my house. I wondered what I would find. I was thinking along the lines of a badly beaten Goten and a half dead Videl. Nothing prepared me for the sight a bared witness to.
My father was walking. Walking very slowly. Goten was in front of him mush the same way as he did when I found out. Goten once again confessed his love for my mom. My father continued walking not hearing a word of what Goten was saying. My father walk right past him and continued his journey. He said only five words once Goten was out of the way, "Must stay around for Pan."
My heart was heavy and I understood. My father would only stay alive to stay with me. He will keep his promise not to leave me. I knew where he was going, he went there whenever something was in turmoil in his life.
I was ready. I was ready to confront my mom. She was in the living room crying when I got there. Goten was sitting in the couch holding her close. I walked up to them both with fire in my eyes. "Get out Goten, I need to speak to Videl." The seriousness in my voice and the use of the formal name of my mother was enough to convince Goten that he should leave then and there. Once he left I waited till his Ki was moving away from us.
I stared at my mother with disgust written all over my face. "I hope your happy now. You have managed to break the most powerful man in the universe. The one man that loved you with all his heart and asked for only your love in return." I spoke in a condescending tone I reserve for people who are lower than scum. "I hate you Videl. I can never forgive or forget how you destroyed a loving man's heart. Good bye Mom." I turned around and headed for my grandmother's house to explain the situation and to ask to stay till my father returns.
When I saw my father again it was at a gathering for all friends and family. He stood close to the door way as one after another consoled him on the current situation. My father it seems didn't care and had only one thing in mind. I knew what it was and my eyes filled with tears, he came for me. I ran to him as he opened his arms to invite me in. I entered my loving fathers embrace and asked to stay with him.
We walked out of the room, I was still in my father's paternal embrace. I realized at that point that no matter what the future held our love for one another would keep us together and never separate our family bond.
I still have not seen my mom or Goten since it all started and I can't say that I am all too upset. I know my father misses my mom very much and wishes this never happened. I talked about it with him and he told me that he understands that there is no possible way for them to get back together. He doesn't look at women. He says that there is no point, there is only one woman to give a heart completely to and he said that he had already given it to two.
I am happy with our life together. I wish he could move on but he seems happy enough as it is. I don't think I will leave him alone. I don't think I will find anyone to love. My mother made sure of that. I have my father with me and that is all I ever wanted.

I don't really know what came over me while writing this story. I had this dream about this story and I had to write it. I wrote this story in one night and did the editing the next day. I hope that you enjoyed this story. If you did or even if you hated it, I would love to hear from you. I really do like reviews. So far I don't have many and I think that it is due to the nature or even the character involved. I do have several ideas for a sequel in mind and have even started the writing of two of the possible versions. I just don't have the proper amount of feed back needed to continue on with this story. I will be posting this last chapter as an update to keep it bumped to first page of a Gohan story search. I may get the needed encouragement necessary to finish writing the sequel(s). Oh and one last thing if you liked this story then you may want to check out my other story Trust Pack. It is not an Angst (mostly) and it involves Gohan and Videl. It is not a sequel to this story.
