Will You Remember
Goku's POV
Chichi lay propped up against my chest. My arms around her waist hold her close to me. She surprised me at the party I almost thought I was hearing things when she spoke. I guess she surprised everyone. I felt a little bad for Videl since she didn't know how to react to this woman who hadn't said a word in so long.
I lifted one of my hands off her waist to stroke her hair. She turned to look at me and smiled. She was beautiful. I smiled back at her and ran my hand down her hair. Nothing that has happened is her fault, it barely has anything to do with her really, but she is the one who has suffered the most. Sometimes I look at Vegeta and feel a rage build up that I never thought I had. It's really not his fault either, but I wish there was someone to blame.
There was no doubt in my mind that something was going on between Vegeta and his daughter, but I tried to stay out of it. I didn't want him in my family anymore and as much as I liked Trunks, I didn't want anything to do with his family either. It was too hard to think that this family had something to do with my wife's state. None of them seemed to be affected. I used to think that nothing could make me cry but seeing Chichi like this is beyond painful, there is nothing I can do.
Chichi begins to hum under my hand. I stopped or a second to listen and make sure I was hearing right. She wasn't talking, but she was doing something. I kissed the back of her head and rocked back and forth with her in my arms. Silence has become normal but unwanted and everyday is silence it seems. In my head I imagine her turning around to face me, "Goku I love you." "I love you too," I would respond.
I felt her stirring in my lap and looked down at her. She was turning toward me but I froze I shock wondering if I hadn't imagined her saying that.
"Chichi, are you okay," was all I managed before she pressed her lips against mine. Her hair fell past her shoulders and rested on my chest. I was in shock again maybe she was getting better. We hadn't done anything in a while, it didn't bother me it just added to the shock when she kissed me.
I grabbed her waist and pulled her close against me, "Chichi, I love you so much. Please be okay. I'll do anything for you just don't leave me." I felt her grip tighten on me and she moved even closer into my body.
"I love you, too."
