Housewife: When Chichi's Had Enough

Ch.8 Is All Forgiven?

'No! Stay away from me! Just, go away!' Chichi was in a horrible nightmare. She was running from someone, but she couldn't see who. All that she knew was they were going to kill her. 'Help!' No matter how much she screamed, all that she heard was the echo of her voice in the hollow void. Suddenly, she heard a sound that chilled her to the bone. It was a horrible man's laughter... The more she tried to run, the more he laughed.

Tears were running down her face and sweat was starting to dot sweat across her forehead. She chanced a peek over her shoulder but as she went to turn around, she suddenly tripped. 'Ah-!' It was a quick fall... Or, a quick hit. She could only get out half a yell before everything went pitch black. She opened her eyes to the boyish face of her husband. She sighed in relief. Now that Goku was there, nothing was going to happen to her. Upon trying to sit up, she realized that she was hand cuffed. She pulled hard on the cuffs trying to break them apart but only succeeding in cutting the skin where they were.

Chichi screamed at the ripping of her porcelain skin, tears making their way down her cheeks again. 'Goku... Please... Help me...' Chichi's hoarse voice traveled through the void only to fall on deaf ears. Goku smiled ferociously. He wasn't gonna help...

'I can't do that... You have Vegeta for that don't you? And any other man you could find!' Goku growled at the name and yanked a chain attached to her hand cuffs. Chichi screamed again, feeling the blood pour down her wrists. He glared at her. 'Why? How could you do this to me and Gohan? Weren't we enough family for you Chichi? Apparently not if you had to run back to the Amazon with that!' He yanked again. Chichi was breathing heavier, the blood loss starting to take control. 'G...Goku... I wasn't... With Vegeta... He was-' Goku cut her off with one more harsh yank.

He was taking so much pleasure in hearing her scream and watching her squirm. He stood from his crouching position by the chained, porcelain beauty. Chichi fell over, loss of blood finally kicking in. Goku smirked at the pained expression on his soon to be ex-wife. 'It doesn't matter what happened or didn't happen with Vegeta... After this, I'll take care of the vegetable...' Goku gathered an energy ball the size of his head and prepared to launch it. Chichi, fixing to dive into the realm of the dead, mustered up the last of her strength and energy and put it all into one ear piercing scream.

Chichi sprung up in bed, still screaming. Tears mingled with sweat and trickled down her face. Goku, still asleep in the chair, was startled awake and sprung into action. He was in a fighting stance at the end of the bed looking for a new foe, but all he saw was his pale wife sitting in a heap of crumpled sheets. Her breathing was labored and her eyes wide. He regained his posture and walked over to sit on the bed beside his wife. Gently touching her shoulder, he called her name. "Chichi...? You ok?" She spun her head around to look at her husband and screamed again.

She scooted to the headboard and back flipped onto the top of it. She balanced on the edge of the wooden piece trying to catch her breath. Goku pulled his hand back like he had been burnt. "Chichi! What's wrong?" He slipped to the other side to keep her from falling. She tried to move further back as he moved forward but ran out of room and almost fell. Goku reached out and caught her just before she hit the ground.

She covered her hands over her eyes and huddled down into a ball. Now this was a sight to behold. The strongest woman on Earth, the Amazon Princess, curled into the fetal position because of a nightmare. Goku stared at her with wide and confused eyes as she risked a peek up at him. "Please..." She whispered, "Don't hit me, Goku..." A tear started down her cheek and then Goku understood, she had a nightmare about him and was scared. He shouldn't have been so mean earlier, now she was terrified that he was going to hurt her. Frowning sadly, he hugged her to his chest.

Chichi started crying uncontrollably, clinging to Goku's gi. Here he was comforting her, being nice to her even though he didn't love her. Those words stung her heart and just made her cry harder. He was being so sweet and actually trying to help her, to make it work, and what did she do? She went and had an affair. 'Wait! Chikianna's gone! I'm back! Heh.. Funny, she's so brave and strong, but when Goku comes and demands answers, she runs. Fabulous!'

Goku watched her cling to him with sad eyes. He always hated seeing his beautiful wife cry. She looked so hurt, what could he do? He kissed the top of her head and pulled her into his lap cuddling her like you would a child. He softly rubbed her back and murmured in her ear. "Shh... Chi, it's ok... I'm here and nothing's going to happen to you... Shh..." Slowly, ever so slowly, Chichi's crying quietened down so all that was left was just sobs and the occasional hiccup. He kissed her forehead one more time before putting a finger under her chin and tilting her face to look into his.

There were traces of the dried tears along her face and the sobs had stopped when she looked into his concerned eyes. She bit her lip. He was so gorgeous... He deserved better than some lying, cheating, who- The thought was cut short as he softly pressed his lips into hers. Chichi was shocked for a minute, but couldn't help herself from kissing back. Goku pulled back after a minute to see her face and smirked at her reaction.

She looked a mix between confused and joyous. He trailed a finger down her cheek, drying up anything that might be there. "Chi... What happened? What were you dreaming about?" His eyebrows knit in concern watching her face turn to one of pain at the remembered dream. She pulled herself closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her tighter. "Chichi, I promise you, nothing will happen to you. I'm right here. Just tell me what happened." She took a deep quavering breath and began to tell him all the frightening details of the horror she pretty much felt.

By the end of the dream she had herself in tears again. Goku was numb. His entire body was frozen in paralyzing fear. The fact that he did that to Chichi, even in a dream, was horrifying! Now he understood why she cried so hard. He must have really scared her at the table. The wild haired Saiyan decided that he was going to fix this right here right now. He set his chin on top of her head and rocked her gently in his lap. Finally her tears subsided enough that she could talk right. "G-Goku..." He looked down when he heard her gently whisper his name. Taking a deep breath, she started her apology. "Goku, I am so sorry... For everything. Asking you and Gohan to leave, then leaving the house without telling you." She felt him open his mouth to say something but pushed her head up against his jaw to close it.

"Wait until I'm through, please... This is hard enough." She heard him sigh but nod and tighten his arms around her. Taking another deep breath, she started again. "But, what I'm the most sorry about... Is what happened after I left... Now, before I tell you this I want you to promise me something." She pulled away some, tears starting to mist her eyes. Goku kissed her forehead softly before responding. "Anything Chi." She smiled softly. No, she definitely did not deserve this man. "Promise me, you'll let me explain the entire story before getting angry at me..." Goku's eyes showed his confusion. "Why would I-" She cut him off. "Just please. Promise me." Goku, still just as confused as before, simply nodded. She sighed deeply and cuddled back up to his chest, his arms encircling her waist holding her there. Chichi opened her mouth and it all ran out at once. "Goku, I didn't mean for it to happen I really didn't but I slept with someone else. But before you get mad just know this, it wasn't me I swear! It was my Amazon side and I was feeling depressed about the whole argument with you and with you not loving me at all, she kind of convinced me that-" Goku cut her off by placing his warm mouth over hers. She moaned a little and he took that chance to slip his tongue into her mouth and exploring her mouth thoroughly. She pulled back for air and looked at Goku trying to decide what emotion to have. Happiness; Goku obviously wasn't mad about the affair, guilt; she didn't deserve this man. Forgiving her after that affair? He was just too innocent. Or finally, aggravation; he didn't let her finish explaining anything! Is that how he tells people to be quiet? By kissing them? Even as she tried to be angry, she knew she couldn't.

Goku smiled softly at her face. He could read the expressions flitting across her face before switching into something else. He looked at her seriously, but softly and started. "Chi, I already knew that. Your friend Mika told me earlier today. And..." He took a deep breath, "I'm not mad Chi. I understand why you did it and I'm sorry. I should have been a better husband. Maybe, if I had been better, you wouldn't have had to leave your own house and family. Chichi, I didn't know and I am so sorry. I promise, if you come back home everything will be different." Chichi's eyes were starting to get misty again.

He looked in her eyes and whispered softly, "Maybe... I can try to be the husband you wanted... Instead of the one you got stuck with..." He turned away. He knew he wasn't the perfect husband and that Chichi deserved better. Chichi gasped and stared at her husband for a good long while. Goku was nervously biting his lip. It had been pretty close to five minutes and she still hadn't said anything. Slowly he turned to look at her. "Chi-" He was cut off by a set of velvet lips attacking his own. Her sudden attack caused him to fall backwards on the bed with her laying on top of him. They kissed hungrily, forgetting that they needed air for a bit. Finally pulling away, panting and very much in need, Chichi nuzzled into the side of his neck.

"Goku, how can you say that? I love you more than you will ever know. I wouldn't want any other husband but you. You're perfect." She punctuated the last sentence by pulling at his gi top. This was one part of the arguments that Goku liked. The making up. He sat up pulling off his restricting top and throwing it to the side.

Chichi ran her small hands across his abs, taking in his every dip and curve. He wasn't wearing his orange top, just the blue shirt. 'Funny...' They hadn't had sex in a while and boy had she missed the feeling of him shivering under her touch. She grinned feeling his hardening member underneath her. She was obviously doing something right. He pushed her back and took hold of her dress pushing it up over her head and throwing it to join his shirt. Goku's eyes widened as he saw the lace bra and matching panties. Red with black trimming. Chichi had never usually worn lace before so this... This was... Exciting... He attacked her lips in a fiery kiss, she returning it with just as much passion he was giving off. She blindly started working on undoing his belt. She wanted sex right then and there!

He lifted up slightly making it easier to pull it off and start tugging on his pants. Reluctantly breaking the kiss, Goku slipped his gi bottoms off and threw them to the ever growing pile of garments. Standing there clad in only his boxers, he stared down at his wife. Panting just slightly, still trying to catch her breath from the last kiss they shared. He didn't have time to think much more as she dove at him. Forcing him to lie back on the bed, she started nipping and sucking a trail down his chest starting at his collar bone.

Goku was in heaven. His hands were making fists in the silk sheets as Chichi teased his already hardened nipples, feeling herself get wetter. Just hearing him groan beneath her, feeling his hardening member against her thigh, she was going to lose control. She needed to fix this, and fast before she just let loose. She slid her hand down his chest to the rim of his boxers. He groaned as her cold fingers touched the scorching area of his abdomen. She kissed her way back to his throat and sucked on it lightly. He was lost, way past the point of no return now. She slipped her hand in and took hold of his manhood, gently stroking him.

His hips thrust upward into her hand seeking more friction on pure instinct. He growled low in his throat. She was teasing him and he knew it... Using all the strength he had, he pulled her hand away and pushed her backwards onto the pillows. Chichi gasped and tried to sit up. His hand on her stomach stopped her. She bit her tongue and tilted her head back as he started rubbing her hardened peaks through the sheer fabric of the bra. Lost in a haze of lust, he slid his finger under the edge of it and easily ripped it away from his wife's body. She gasped at the sudden rush of cold air that wasn't there for long. Goku eyed his wife hungrily for a moment before capturing one of her hardened nubs in his mouth. Chichi's hands found their way to his hair and tangled themselves in it, moaning and groaning loudly.

He smirked, Goku knew just how to make his wife feel great. He ghosted his hand down her side to the elastic band of her panties. He moved his hand around to the front while keeping his mouth and other hand occupied. Just as his hand made contact with her most intimate areas, there was a knock at the door.

Chichi froze mid-moan, just as Goku stopped what he was doing. Finally able to form a coherent sentence, Chichi called out to whoever it was. "W-who is it...?" Her eyes went wide as she heard the reply. "It's Gohan Momma. Can I come in?" Goku jumped up and tried to find some kind of clothing for her. Chichi was looking for her bra but found it in shreds. "Dammit Goku! How many times have I told you not to do that?" She hissed at him "Uh, just a second Gohan!" She was still looking when she saw the black sheet and dove underneath it just as the door was flung open.

Chichi's sudden dive caused Goku to flip off the bed with a big "Thump!" Chichi peeked out from under the blanket about to reprimand her son for just barging in when she was met with the familiar face of her brother. "Kaito!" She shouted and, with the sheet clutched tightly around her, rose to hug him. He blushed.

"Very smooth Chi... You do realize your son is standing right out in the hallway right?" Chichi blushed crimson and nodded. He smirked. "You must have been really desperate sis..." He laughed at her noise of protest and pulled his shirt off. "Cover yourself and uh... Is your object of interest alright over there in the floor?" Kaito looked away at the ceiling while Chichi pulled the over sized shirt on. "Eh... That's my husband, he'll be ok." She smiled over the edge of the bed at Goku. He was just pulling himself out of the tangled pile.

Gohan peeked around the corner. "Hey momma? Can I come in now?" Chichi turned towards the door and grinned. "Of course sweetie! I've missed you so much! Ya know that?" Gohan barreled towards his mother, diving into her motherly embrace. He snuffled once and then sniffed the shirt curiously. He pulled back abruptly and looked at the shirtless, smiling man standing beside his mother. "Mom..." He started warily, having still not seen his father, "Who's this...?" Chichi followed Gohan's gaze and smiled. "That's your uncle! My brother, Kaito." Kaito inclined his head. "Good to see you again kiddo. Sorry I haven't been by as much as your grandpa has. I actually go out and do what needs to be done!"

Gohan smiled at the man. He had a nice sense of humor. Goku finally got up out of the floor... Unfortunately, he still had on only his boxers. "Chi, did you know that this place is a mess?" Chichi laughed and laid back in bed. "Yes Goku... I also know why it's a mess!" Gohan and Kaito blushed. They did not need to hear that...

Chichi laughed at the boys' expressions. Gohan smiled at his mother and looked over at his father. "Dad, why are you...?" Then It hit him like a ton of bricks. Him and his mother were fixing to... Eww! Gohan's eyes went wide. "Mom! Dad! That's disgusting!" He jumped up off the bed and hovered over it, too afraid to land just in case something had already transpired. Goku shrugged and crawled up next to Chichi. "You'll understand one day when you meet the love of your life... Like I have..." Chichi gasped and looked into his eyes. "Y-you mean it...?" He smiled and kissed her nose. "Always." Came the soft reply.

Chichi's smiled as she placed her hands on his cheeks. "I love you too, Goku." Gohan smiled. This meant that his parents had made up and they were going home! Kaito, not one fond of loving moments, started a mock round of applause. "How sweet... Blah!" He grinned as Chichi stuck her tongue out at him. "Screw you Kaito!" He crinkled his nose. "Isn't that incest sister dearest...?" She laughed and threw a pillow at him. Kami how she had missed this. Being playful. Having an older brother to torment... It was... Homey... Kaito grabbed the pillow and bopped Gohan with it. "Watch out squirt. Your mom and I get dangerous with pillows." Gohan smiled. "Grandpa calls me the Pillow-fight King!" Kaito feigned hurt. "Ah! That used to be my position! Guess that mean's I'll have to defend my position as reigning ruler!"

Chichi was about to die laughing. Watching her brother and son in an all out pillow war was too much. She turned her head and looked out the window, noticing for the first time that it was still dark out. "Kaito." She sat up and looked at her brother who had called a momentary time out. "What time is it?" He looked at his watch and his eyebrows lifted. "About... 2:56... Why?" "3:00 am? And you choose this time to come and visit me?" The males all covered their ears at her scream. Gohan tossed his pillow back and she noticed for the first time, he was in some of her brother's older pajamas.

"I came because I couldn't sleep. I keep having nightmares and I was wondering if I could sleep with you guys..." Chichi smiled sadly. "Of course sweetie. Go grab your stuff and you can sleep in our room while we stay here." She heard Goku make a little noise of protest but she elbowed him... Resulting in him sliding off the silk into the floor again. Gohan smiled and started out the door.

"What about you Kaito?" He flung himself onto the bed. "Your my little sister... Do I really need a reason to come in at 2:30 and harass you?" He grinned mischievously. "I used to do this all the time when you were little! Come in and wake you up, go for walks in the garden, miniature sparring sessions. Anything to keep you awake. Then, like 8:00 in the morning, all your tutors would cause a fuss because you were tired but Papa would get onto them!" Chichi started laughing. "We used to get the tutors into sooo much trouble!"

Goku finally popped up out of the floor and was about to retaliate when a tired looking Gohan came dragging in the door. Kaito stood up and stretched. "Ah... Well Gohan, Goku... Princess Chikianna." She smirked and raised a brow at his grin. "What are you planning Kaito Mao...?" He tried to hide his expression. "Not a thing sister darling, I just figured that since you and your boys looked tired, we could finish out little welcoming party tomorrow." She smiled. "I'd like that. But do you promise to actually be in the palace when I wake up...?"

Kaito's expression turned to one of seriousness. He walked up and sat on the bed beside her while Gohan and Goku situated the other pillows and things. "Chikianna... Chichi... Whatever... I promise you, I won't just leave. I know I said it before and I'm sorry. Every time I would come home, I would feel so guilty. The nannies would tell me the second I got back how much you missed me. How much you cried for me to come home and I am so sorry." He wrapped her in a warm embrace, she having silent tears starting down her face. He kissed the top of her head and pulled back to look her in the face.

"When Mom died, it was like a little piece of me died. And looking at you made it hurt worse. You were... Are... The spitting image of Mother. So pretty. I had to leave late at night for my business trips. I just couldn't say goodbye. It... It felt like saying goodbye to Mom... And I couldn't... I just couldn't." Chichi had stopped crying on account of the fact her brother was crying. Her entire life, she had never seen Kaito cry. Not even at their Mother's funeral. She wiped his eyes and kissed his cheek. "Don't cry Kaito... I don't like seeing you sad Brother..." Kaito smiled and kissed her forehead. It had been so long since he had been called Brother... "You need to rest Chi. I'll be here bright and early in the morning!" He stood and tucked Chichi in as she snuggled under the blankets.

With one final kiss, he was gone. Chichi snuggled up to a sleeping Gohan and kissed his forehead. Goku opened his eyes sleepily and smiled softly. She gave him a small peck on the lips before following her son's lead and going to sleep.

That night she knew there weren't going to be any nightmares. She everything she could need. Her husband... Her son... And her brother.

She had her family...

TBC...

*Aww! I might just cry! She's got her family back... How schweet... Ok, so, a notice to my readers and reviewers; This will be it for a few days. I, unfortunately, will be going away for a while and am not allowed to bring my baby (My laptop). Depressing isn't it? Cause that means that not only can I not update, I can't even work on much needed chapters! Such as finishing Ch. 10, my Epilogue, and my Sequel! Now I really may cry! But, have no fear. The second I get back, I will update to Ch. 9! Until then reviewers, enjoy what's here so far... Be back soon!
