Goku continued to fly at a slow pace after he left the house. It some how allowed him to think about what he was going to do next. As he flew his mind became a over flowing torrrent of emotions. His heart felt as if it were torn in two, and there wasn't anything that would sew it back together again. He felt a sting in his eyes and a tightening in his throat and chest. A few tears escaped his eyes blurring his vision in the chilly night air. He couldn't believe it, after eleven years of marriage and she wanted to end it like this! Goku had never been so used in all of his life, she practically played him like a piano. once he realized that he had been flying for a while, Goku decided to find a place to calm down first so he wouldn't worry Gohan when he came to get him.

He slowed his flight and sat on a near by cliff to calm his raging emotions. Once he calmed down everything had hit him full force. All the pain, arguments, betrail, and the questions he despreatly needed to be answered all washed over him like a tidle wave as he begain to cry and let out his frustrations. Goku knew deep down that she was having an affair but, he wouldn't allow himself to believe it. As time passed, he realized he had been on that cliff for close to an hour. He looked out into the distance at the stars that shined brightly in the night sky. He sighed as he rose from his sitting position to take to the skies once more. Gohan was close by, once he felt his and Piccolo's presences he took off in that direction.

But then, he felt another power coming his way and he stopped dead in his tracks.

"Oh man, what now! Of all the times for a new enemy to come to Earth it had to be now!" Goku thought as he face the direction the power was in.

Goku stood and watched in anticipation as that power drew closer and closer. Then a figure begain to show in the distance. Goku strained his eyes to see who it was, and once the figure came close enought to see Goku was relieved to see it was Trunks.

"Hey Goku! You out for some fresh air or something?" Trunks greeted as he stopped in mid flight in front of him.

"Oh, I just ...Well what're you up to?" Goku stammered as he changed the subject.

"I just came back from the future to tell everyone the good news about my time being free of the androids and Cell." Trunks informed with a warm smile.

That's great! I was wondering when you'd get that mess streghtened out." Goku replied in force joy.

However, Trunks picked up on this and questioned him.

"Goku, what's wrong? I haven't known you long but, I can tell when somethings wrong." Trunks stated earning a small eep from Goku.

Goku's cheerful demener diminished as he looked Trunks in the eye. He waited paitently for Goku to answer. Goku sniffled a little and finally spoke.

"My wife and I, our marriage had hit the rocks. Gohan and I caught her on the couch having sex with another man. We had a fight and Gohan is with Piccolo right now. I was just on my way to get him." Goku explained with a sorrowful tone.

To say Trunks was shocked was an understatment, he didn't know what to say. A thick blanket of silence covered them both. They stayed like that before Trunks broke the silence.

"You can stay over at Capsule Corp for a while." Trunks offered.

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking after I go get Gohan." Goku replied as they both took off in Piccolo and Gohan's direction.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDD

Piccolo and Gohan had spent the whole time imersed in conversation over the night's events. Gohan had cried over the fact that his family could be separated in the future. Piccolo did what he could to help him. They waited paitcently for Goku to arrive, but Gohan cried so much of his energy out that he fell asleep. As Piccolo watched him sleep he realized something. Even though Gohan was more powerful than any of them, he was still an eleven year old child that needed comfort. Gohan slept in a little ball with his tail curled around his right leg. He looked so broken and upset as he lie there in a deep exausted sleep. Then Goku and Trunks flew in and landed right in front of him.

"Hey Piccolo I came to get Gohan." Goku informed.

"He's right here. He was pretty upset about earlier." Piccolo verified as Goku knelt down to pick up Gohan.

"So Trunks, how are things going in your time line?" Piccolo asked.

"Great I freed it from the androids and Cell. I just came back to tell everyone and to stay for a while." Trunks explained.

"Good, glad to hear it." Piccolo replied in his usual gruff tone.

The conversation ended as Goku picked up Gohan and lifted himself in the air. Trunks and Goku headed for Capsule Corp for the evening in order to sort things out in the morning. Once they arrived on the door step Bulma was shocked to see them as she let them in. Trunks had told Bulma everything about his time line and about Goku and his marital issues. She was shocked to hear that Chichi cheated on Goku but, more so that he and Gohan walked in on it. After that was said and done Bulma had the guest rooms set up so they can settle in for the night. Gohan slept with Goku that night and Trunks slept in the room across from Goku's. They slept soundly for the night, well everyone execpt for Goku.

He lay awake that night still thinking about what happened. He glanced over at Gohan's sleeping form. He sighed as he realized it would be a long road for them.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDD

Morning came a little too soon for Goku as he opened his eyes to the rays of sun greating him from the window. He groaned as he rolled over to get out of bed. He noticed that Gohan was up already and that there was a note in his place. Goku picked it up and read it as he stood up from his bed.

Dad,

I went to train with Vegeta in the gravity room this morning.

Gohan

Goku put the note down on the end table by the bedside and grabbed the clothes that Bulma had set up for him. He showered and changed and made his way down to the kitchen. Bulma was down there cooking breakfast as she noticed him sit at the table.

"Good morning Goku, how did you sleep?" Bulma greeted as she served the remains of breakfast.

Goku sighed as he pulled out his journal,"Not good at all."

Goku opened the book and pulled out his foutain pen to write. Bulma watched him as she suddenly asked,"When'd you start journaling?"

"When things begain to turn sour." Goku answered as he begain to write.

"I know Chichi hurt you Goku. I don't like to see you this way ya know?" Bulma stated as she took a seat at the table.

Just then, Trunks came to the table and took a seat as well. When he noticed Goku he decided to ask,"How're you doing Goku?"

"Shitty." Goku sighed as he thought about what to write.

Trunks was a little flabberghasted by this. He never heard Goku use such language before. He looked up at him keeping eye contact with him.

"What?" Goku asked as he felt Trunks' eyes on him.

"I know it's difficult Goku but, I want to share a little something I was told by my mother in my time." Trunks stated in a gentle tone.

"What did she say?" Bulma asked.

"Well, when I talked to her about dad and why I was so frustrated with him she told me something she said she learned from you." He replied.

This grabbed Goku's attention as he looked up from his journal. Trunks continued his eye contact as he placed a hand on Goku's shoulder.

"No matter what, you have to forgive her." Trunks said gently.

"Wha?" Goku stammered at a loss for words.

"When someone hurts you, they take some sort of power over you. And if you don't forgive her she keeps that power over you. Everyday you'll be walking around remembering everything she did to you while she sleeps at night. Forgiveness is not for the other person but, it's purely for you. The longer you hold yourself back, the longer you keep yourself from being free. Forgive her and then, forgive yourself. And if you have a chance to get back at someone that hurt you and you don't take it then, you're over it. But if you take that chance and you kick their ass then, you aren't over it yet."

"I know what you're saying but, I think I've lost my way. I know it sounds strange but, after I've had it so good with her and now that it's gone, I feel lost." Goku replied.

"I know, but you'll figure something out eventually." Bulma said.

"I'll go see what Gohan and dad are up too before I come back to eat okay?" Trunks noted as he left the table.

Goku took the words in consideration as he looked down at his journal and begain to write.

Wensday November 4,

Dear journal,

My fears were finaly confermed yesterday evening, my wife was cheating on me with another man. Gohan and I came home to her in the throws of passion with this other man on the living room couch. We had a fight shortly after I told Gohan to go to Piccolo and wait for me to go pick him up. After the fight I flew outside and ran into Trunks. We talked about his time line and the defeat of the androids and Cell. We went to find Gohan and Piccolo and Trunks took me and Gohan to Capsule Corp to spend the night. Gohan slept next to me last night and I couldn't even sleep. I awoke to find a note from Gohan. I was superized to read that Vegeta even let Gohan train with him but, then again he is stronger than everyone else in our little band of fighters.

After last night I don't even know where to begain to pick up the pieces to my life. I know it's weired for me to say that but, I've had it so good with her and to have her do that to me was just low and devistating. I've lived alone before but once I had a taste of happiness from someone other than Granpa Gohan, I felt the best I had in years. But now that's been jerked away from me. I haven't felt this confused in years when I first married her. I don't even know what to do anymore. I supose I'll figure out what to do. In the mean time I'll just wait some things out and see where it takes us.

As Goku closed his journal he heard a loud crash coming into the kitchen. He turned his head to see Trunks at the door holding Gohan tightly in his arms. Gohan was unconsious and unresponsive. Goku flew from his chair and was at Gohan's side in a fraction of a second. He noticed Gohan had a huge injury on his head and it had blead profusely before Trunks managed to get the bleeding to stop. His face was full of panic and worry as Bulma rushed to his aid. Vegeta had came into the house shortly after Trunks.

"What happened?" Goku asked in panic.

"I'm so sorry Goku, it was an accident! I didn't mean it I swear It was an accident!" Trunks stammered and spazed.

"Get a hold of yourself boy! The brat is half saiyan like you, he'll live." Vegeta cut in rudely.

"Vegeta that isn't helping!" Bulma snapped as she motioned for Trunks to take Gohan to the med wing.

"Whatever." He scoffed as he fallowed everyone to the med wing.

Once they were down there Bulma got to work on him right away after she called a doctor. Goku and Trunks stood on the side watching Bulma and the doctor work on him.

Goku turned to Trunks and asked him,"What happened?"

"I came in to see what dad and Gohan were up to and I decided to spar with Gohan but the spar got a little crazy. I went to punch him knowing he would dodge it but he had his gaurd down and the blow conected to his head and knocked him out cold. I thought he was okay at first but dad noticed something was wrong and turned off the gravity and I ran over to him. He was unresponsive and no matter what I did, he wouldn't wake up. He blead profusely and I managed to get the bleeding to stop so I could bring him to mom. I'm so sorry Goku I didn't mean it!" Trunks spazed.

"It's okay. Gohan doesn't go down that easily. Let's wait and see what happens." Goku replied worry in his voice.

The doctor and Bulma finished up and made their way towards Goku and Trunks. Vegeta had long sense left to go back to training.

"What's wrong with him?" Trunks asked.

"Well, he has a concussion and will suffer memory loss. Now we don't know how bad the memory loss will be but there is some significant amount of damage in his head. He will have the symptoms of the concussion." The doctor explained as he handed Goku a list of papers with information on Gohan's condition.

Goku stared in shock as he looked at the papers. Things kept getting worse and worse for them. However he knew he had to call Chichi to let her know what happened. He wasn't looking forward to it but he knew she deserved to know sense she was his mother. He braced himself for the encounter with his wife as he left the room.
