Chapter 2: Goku Returns To Earth

"And that's it" Gohan said.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I thought it was just a phase. I didn't know it would last that long"
"Well I can understand that, Gohan. I was in the same place when Yamcha died. It's a difficult situation"
"Yeah"
"But I am going to talk to Chi-Chi. She needs to let it all out"
"Thanks Bulma"
"My pleasure"

Chi-Chi was doing her weekly cleaning. At the moment she was cleaning her bedroom. As she was taking the stuff away from the chest of drawers, she saw a framed picture of the day she married Goku. She gently ran her fingers over the picture as she remembered that day, like it was yesterday.

As soon as the wedding march started playing and the doors busted open, the Ox King felt a pain on his heart. He was giving his only daughter away to the man who promised to make her the happiest woman in the world every day of their lives. The King knew no other guy would be as good for his daughter as Son Goku and vice-versa.
As she was walking down the aisle, Chi-Chi felt her heart sink. She was getting married. She had been waiting all her life for that moment. A huge smile rose from her red lips.
On the other side of the aisle, on the altar was Goku. He was still unsure of what a wedding was and why in the world he was forced to wear such clothes but he cared for Chi-Chi and wanted to make her happy more than anything. A different emotion slowly grew on him but he wasn't sure what it meant. It was nothing like the feeling you get when you are fighting. It was deeper and stronger than that, and Goku had never felt such thing before. He couldn't explain it. He tried to ignore the growing feeling and smiled back to his wife.
The whole ceremony was perfect. Chi-chi was so happy and emotional she couldn't stop crying. Goku was confused with this. A wedding was supposed to be a good thing, right? That's what he was told anyway. He was brought to reality when he felt Chi-chi taking his hand to put the ring on. The groom looked at the black haired bride in front of him as she repeated the words the priest was saying and how tears kept falling from her eyes. That was when he realized that he wanted to protect her, to look right into her eyes and tell her everything would be alright. Was it something else than wanting to protect her? Could it be… love?
It was now Goku's turn to put the ring on Chi-Chi's finger. He listened carefully to what the priest said before repeating it. The growing sensation completely took over him, becoming hard to control himself. Fortunately for him, the priest finally ended the ceremony with the famous words.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife"
Goku gently grabbed his newly wife's hands and pulled her into him, giving her a kiss that swept her off the ground. He didn't think about it, he just did it. Chi-Chi was shocked at first but quickly gave in. It was one of the many surprises Goku would give her. And she would gratefully accept them all.

"Mom" Gohan called as he opened the front door. "Mom?"
He headed to his parents' room to see if she was there. His heart stopped when he saw his mother holding the picture.
"Mother"
Chi-Chi finally lifted her head. Gohan sighed in sadness when he saw his mother's red eyes.
"What's wrong darling?"
"Uh… nothing" He stopped himself. "Bulma is here. She wants to talk to you"
"But the house's a mess" She put the photo aside. "Where is she?"
"In the living room"

"Bulma"
"Chi-Chi, hi"
"I'm sorry, the house is such a mess"
"That's okay" Bulma looked right into her friend's eyes. "So Chi-Chi, Gohan told me you've been having trouble getting over Goku's death"
"He did?"
"Please don't be mad at him. He's just looking out for you"
"I know"
"Well, I came here to talk to you about it. I know it's really hard to face it, but you have to, Chi-Chi. For you, for Gohan and for this child inside you. But mostly for Goku. I'm sure he wouldn't want you to suffer like that"
"I miss him Bulma"
"I know you do. I miss him too. But Chi-Chi, you need to talk to us about it. Don't keep it to yourself, it's not healthy. You can get over it faster if you open up. You know, Gohan is having a hard time with it too"
The last sentence hit Chi-Chi. She was so focused on her own feelings that forgot how her child must be feeling.
"Gohan. I had no idea"
"He didn't know what to do, so he asked me to help" Bulma grabbed Chi-Chi's hands. "I'm not here only because of him. I'm here because you're my friend and I wish you well. Everyone was affected by his death Chi-Chi, but we're all friends. And friends help each other"
"Bulma"
"So if you ever need to talk, I'll be more than happy to listen"
"Thank you"
"I need to go. Vegeta is taking care of Trunks, and he's a disaster with kids"
Chi-Chi gave a small laugh. Bulma smiled and hugged her.
"I'm only a phone call away"
"Thanks again Bulma"
"Anytime"

Chi-Chi opened the door of her son's bedroom and found him studying. She smiled.
"Is anything wrong mom?"
"No. Do you want to take a break?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah. Why not?" She sat on the bed. "Gohan sweetie, mom is sorry"
"You don't have to be mom"
"Yes I do. I was so worried about me that forgot about you"
"It's okay mom"
"It won't happen again"
Gohan's eyes started to water up. He threw himself on his mother's lap.
"I miss dad so much"
"I miss him too honey"

"Listen carefully Goku. You need to follow my instructions strictly okay?"
"Okay!"
"You only have two days. If you use your energy, it can decrease"
"I got it"
"Do not do anything that can cause troubles okay?"
"I never do that" He joked. "I'm ready"
"Here we go" Mr Popo used his ability to help Goku. "Remember, you only have two days. No more"
"Okay"
"Now put your hand on my shoulder. You might feel dizzy but it's part of the process"
"Got it"
Before Goku knew it, he was already lying on the grass, outside Kame's house.
