Chapter 6: I know
Goku's POV
Chichi seemed to be getting a little better since she met Gohan's fiancée. I think that she is sad that Gohan is barely home anymore. When he does come he doesn't talk to anyone much, not even me. The kids, I know, are a little afraid of their mother since she hasn't talked since her sister passed.
It was a sad time when she passed away. Chichi was hysterical for a week and the out of nowhere there was nothing. No sound came from her, she was dead to everyone in the family except me. I stayed by her and I will continue to.
Really it wasn't as if the kids hated her and never talked to her, far from it in fact. Gohan and I talked to her all the time to try to get her to snap out of it. Then Gohan met Videl and he started leaving more often. I was left alone a lot to take car of my wife. Our nine-year old son didn't know what was going on so he played by himself.
It's not that I mind taking care of her it's just that I never took care of anyone like that, nor did I think I would. To be honest though, I blinded myself with hope but what else could I do. There really isn't anything left for us, only hope.
Chichi seemed reasonably normal today. She smiled at me when I came back to the room to pick her up. I slid my hands under her body and pulled her up to me. Her arms moved themselves around my neck and gripped it tight. I look down at my beautiful wife in my arms and take her away. We go in the bath together and she clings to me. She looks up at me again when I squeeze her arm and she smiles. These are the times I miss and these are the moments I hold close, they make me believe that there is hope.
Sometimes it's different, the days that are bad are bad. On days like that I think she might be better off without me. I wonder what would happen if she never met me. The truth is I don't know where I would be without her. I wish I could tell her that I miss her but I love her and I always will. Please don't die on me, don't go.
