Chapter 4 – Doing what's right

Goku thought long and hard about the previous conversation with his wife. It had been less that an hour ago since their talk…well; argument more than anything. They were both trying hard to talk civilly about it but it didn't work out that way in the end. He was only glad it didn't end in tears this time. He hated it when she would cry because it would make him feel so damn guilty but his pride wouldn't always let her win so he would leave in frustration.

That was the problem about their relationship. It was far from perfect. Not that most relationships were perfect, which made it easier for him he guessed. It wasn't just his fault; he wasn't all to blame. That made him a little happier to know she was just as much to blame as he was and so the two of them needed to work together to make it work.

And they did. They always worked it out sometime after. Even if it only lasted a little while and they were at each other's throats again. It worked.

Goku sighed and rubbed his tired eyes. He glanced over at the ticking clock on the fireplace; it was almost ten. He sighed once more and decided to brave it and go upstairs to their bed. Then again, he didn't have to talk to her; he could just go to sleep. No…he stopped himself and stood at the bottom of the stairs. No, he couldn't just go to sleep. This was a serious issue and one way or another they were going to sort this out. He bit his lip and ascended up the stairs.

"Here we go" he whispered to himself before reaching the landing and opening their door.

He walked in quietly just incase she was asleep, but instead he found her at her vanity brushing her long dark locks of hair; her eyes gazing at him through her mirror. He swallowed and closed the door behind him. Boy was this awkward. He sat on the edge of the bed, slightly facing her and started to undress. He couldn't help but look at her now and then through the corner of his eye. Damn it Kami she looked so beautiful. Her hair was down and she was clad in only a pair of small black panties and a black laced bra. He bit his lip; the thoughts earlier disappearing; new dirty ones replacing them.

He finally undressed and hung his clothes over the nearby chair; his boxers remaining attached to his muscular body. He got into bed; his eyes trying hard not to focus on her as he pulled up the sheets. That's when Chichi decided to rise slowly from her vanity; her lithe, strong body walking towards the bed; her hair hanging sexily over her breasts and dangling down her bare back. Goku swallowed and began to sweat. No, he wasn't going to give in this time. She was playing with him again…she just had to be…and it was damn right nasty because she knew just how to turn him on without even touching him.

She crawled up from the bottom of the bed and slowly slid into the sheets; sticking her breasts out and flipping back her long dark hair as she did. Goku was almost drooling and panting like a poor dog having a bone wriggled around in front of him and he knew that if she carried on, there was no way on Kami's Earth he could stop himself from taking her.

And she did carry on. She leant over him to get her book and her breasts hung right in his view. That was it. He took hold of her and rolled her onto her back; his eyes gazing lustfully into hers.

"Chichi I can't take this anymore. I need you. I want you" he groaned out; his mouth suddenly seducing her neck and chest. Chichi gasped and moaned lightly, her hands tugging at his unruly hair. He hungrily took over her mouth with his in a vicious wanting kiss; his hands massaging her breasts roughly.

"Oh, Goku" she gasped out, "Is that the best you can do?" she teased slightly out of breath. He kissed down her chest, his hands pulling her breasts out of their lacy prisons and his mouth latched onto the one, his hand playing roughly with the other. She moaned and rubbed herself against him; her hands gripping firmly onto his shoulders as he sucked licked and nipped her hard nipples. He soon left her breasts and let his tongue lick a path down her stomach and around her navel. He kissed quite gently along the top of her knickers, driving her crazy before he eventually tugged them down. She was begging for him now; her eyes watching his every move. He entered her with his fingers and straight away he set a fast yet gentle pace.

His lips kissed her thighs whilst his fingers tortured her. She called his name softly, her voice getting huskier with every thrust of his fingers. He then stopped and fiddled with her sensitive nub which almost made her scream. He smirked, a sense of victory filling him as he lowered his head and ravished her opening with his hungry mouth. Chichi's eyes widened in slight surprise but they soon rolled back and closed at the immense pleasure she was receiving.

"Oh, Goku" she moaned, her hands clawing at the bed sheets as Goku continued his ministrations. His mind was buzzing and his body was over-heating. He wanted to laugh because she gave in so easily but he decided against it as he could tell she was nearing her climax. But he was suddenly shocked as she sat up and moved away from him. He just stared at her; unsure of what to say or think.

"You really thought I was going to let you have your way?" she questioned sternly. He remained silent...in total shock.

"Well Goku, you should be ashamed of yourself! You knew what I said and you knew I was being serious! How dare you take advantage of me like that! Can't you control yourself?"

"No" he murmured out, surprising himself because he wasn't meant to say it.

"Typical!" Chichi told him before pulling the covers over her, "Just go to sleep Goku, I don't want to talk now I'm tired". She turned off the lamp and set her book down on the table and cuddled into the bed sheets. Goku just sat there. What the hell just happened? She was enjoying it wasn't she? WASN'T SHE?

"Chichi! How can you do that? You did that on purpose!"

"I wanted to see how serious you was about the whole thing Goku and if you were you would have resisted" Chichi told him bluntly.

"I am taking this seriously Chi, but it's hard to understand what you're up to when you keep doing that!" Chichi just looked at him. She said nothing. Absolutely nothing.

He frowned and turned over to his side. She started it by turning him on! It was her fault! He sighed loudly and shut his eyes, trying to ignore the painful bulge in his boxers. Things just couldn't get any worse could they?

By the time he had woken up his thoughts had changed and instead he felt somewhat guilty and decided he would apologise. Well, try to anyway. After a good stretch and a change of clothes, Goku made his way downstairs into the kitchen for breakfast. His sons were happily eating away and Chichi had her back to him as she prepared some last dishes.

"Hey, dad" Gohan called, interrupting Goku from his thoughts.

"Hey son, school today?"

"You bet, I have an exam too! But I think I will be fine", Goku smiled at him.

"I know you will be fine son, you're so smart". Chichi brought the last dishes to the table and sat down herself.

"Goku, I need you to watch Goten for me today". Goku cocked his head.

"Why, where you going?" he asked suspiciously.

"I got to go out and do a few things, I might be a few hours but I'm sure you can handle it" she told him, her eyes directly in contact with his. He gulped and began to eat to avoid her eyes. She had to do a few things? Like what? She already went shopping two days ago there was no way they needed more food! Wait a minute! He stopped eating and looked at her. She was poking at her rice looking a little dull.

She was going to have the operation! That was it! His face saddened.

"Right mom, I'm off! I'll see you later!" Gohan shouted before running off out of the house.

"Good luck Gohan, do your best!" Chichi shouted after her son. She went back into the kitchen to wash up, and then she would have to leave.

Goku sat with Goten in the living room, the television playing quietly in the background.

"Hey daddy, what are we going to do today? Can we do boy things together?"

"Uh boy things?" Goku asked clueless.

"Yeah, boy things! Y'know, like you and Gohan did when he was little!" Goku scratched his head.

"Hmm well let's see. What boy things did I do with Gohan…well I sparred with him, took him fishing, went hunting in the forest with him, camped…" the list went on and Goten's eyes sparkled with joy. His 'boy things' time with his dad were going to be the best!

"So which one we gonna do first, daddy?" Goten chirped. Goku began to sweat a little.

"Heh well I'm pretty sure we can't do it all in one day, son!"

"Mommy's going now so be a good boy for daddy" Chichi suddenly interrupted. She bent down and kissed her little boy gently on the head.

"I promise I will be real good momma!"

"That's my boy" She turned to face Goku, "I'll try not to be too long" she said bluntly before leaving the room. Goku sighed and looked at Goten.

"Dad will be right back son, stay here" he raced out of the room and towards the door.

"Chi, honey wait" he called. She turned to face him, "I know why you're going out"

"And?" she countered bravely, hiding the fact that she was scared.

"And…" he trailed off, unable to say anything. What could he say that would change her mind? Nothing.

"Exactly, now I have to go or I will miss my appointment" she told him quietly and then she left. Goku stood speechless once again. He frowned and looked at the tiled floor.

'How could I be so selfish? I put her through so much and she asked me to do this one little thing and I refused. I know I'm scared but her eyes…they were so…sad'. He shook his head, "I'm not letting her go through with this!"

He opened the front door and shouted her name as loud as he could. She was walking away in the distance and he could see her stop. Relieved he sprinted after her, a small smile on his face.

"Chichi!" he said again when he reached her.

"What, Goku? I haven't got all day!" He took her small shaking hands in his and she watched him curiously.

"I see now Chichi how selfish I have been and what a fool I have been. The way you looked at me before you went out the door…that was it. Chichi, I'm not letting you go through with this!"

"It's too late Goku I've booked an appointment now"

"You don't have to cancel it, just change it! I'm going to take your place instead" he told her calmly. Her eyes bulged out like dinner plates.

"You what?"

"Yes, I'm going to do it! It will make me feel so much better knowing I have done something good for you!"

"You're kidding, right?"

"No I'm being serious Chichi! I want to do this; I just wish I had been this right-minded in the first place" Chichi stared into her husband's deep onyx eyes. He wasn't kidding; he was really going to do this for her…for them.

"I'm sorry Chichi. I guess I…I was just so scared about it…" Goku trailed off in embarrassment. Chichi gently touched her husband's face with her warm hand.

"It's ok Goku. I understand" she softly spoke, a small smile on her face. Goku looked shocked. She understood?

"How…" Goku began but she silenced him with her finger.

"I was selfish too Goku, and I'm sorry for that. I shouldn't have pressured you like I did and I shouldn't have tried to blackmail you either. It's not very often you're scared of something and i should have known better" Chichi hung her head slightly in shame. Goku brought her to his chest and wrapped his large arms around her.

"It's ok Chi. You know I forgive you" Chichi smiled against his shirt.

"Thanks Goku".

Goten walked out of the open door and watched his parents as they snuggled. Parents were really strange. One minute they were arguing, the next they were happy and hugging each other. He scratched his little head and sighed, walking back into the house.
