Chapter 4: The Meeting
Chi-Chi, Gohan and her father had landed in Master Roshi's yard and were immediately greeted by him and Krillin.
"It's been a while. How are you?"
"I'm fine, thanks. Gohan grew a lot."
"Yeah, he did." Chi-Chi said proudly. "I'm sorry to show up so sudden but I wanted it to be a surprise."
"That's okay, Chi-Chi. I just finished cooking. You can join us."
"Thank you, but I'm not hungry. Gohan can join you if he wants to."
"Great." Krillin said. "So let's come in."

"Vegeta." Bulma said in a loud tone, close to screaming. "I'm taking Trunks to Master Roshi's house. Krillin called me and said Goku is back for a couple of days so I'm going to see him."
Vegeta came out of the gravity room.
"You said Kakarott is back?"
"Yes, that's what I said."
"Then I'm going with you."
Bulma sighed. "Fine. But hurry up."

"Wow, Krillin! Your food is delicious!" Gohan said as he put a hand on his stomach.
"Thank you, Gohan! Anyway, I called everyone and invited them to come over."
"Why?"
"Well it's been a while since we last had something to party for."
"And we have a reason now?"
"Sort of." Krillin went a bit red.
"What is it?" Gohan asked curiously.
"Oh it's nothing really. It's just that I…"
Krillin was cut off by someone opening the door.
"Master Roshi, are you home?"
"It's Bulma."
They all went to the living room to welcome their friend. They were surprised to see Vegeta with her.
"So where is he?" The blue haired woman asked.
"Who?"
Suddenly it hit Gohan. He was able to sense his father's KI.
"You finally noticed it, Gohan." Krillin said. "I was surprised you didn't feel it right away."
"How long has he been here, Krillin?"
"He arrived just now."
"Mom." Gohan turned to Chi-Chi. "Dad is here."
"What are you saying?"
"Dad is back!"
"But we didn't wish for Shen Long to bring him back."
"Well, what are you waiting for, Krillin? Go bring him here."
"He won't have to."
Everyone looked towards the stairs where Goku was standing.
"Dad!" Gohan ran to his father and hugged him.
"You are much stronger, Gohan." Goku said as he messed his son's hair.
"You are finally back, Kakarott."
The low class Saiyan glanced over at his eternal enemy and smiled. He then looked past Vegeta and saw his wife. His sight softened a little.
"Goku." Chi-Chi said, not moving.
Goku walked to his wife and wrapped his arms around her. She seized the opportunity to rest her hand on his muscled chest.
"I missed all of you." He said, scanning through the room.
"We missed you too, Goku." Bulma said, with tears in her eyes.
Goku stretched his arm to Gohan, who went towards him. He placed a hand on his son's shoulder. They looked like a perfect little family. Chi-Chi unconsciously put a hand on her belly. It suddenly hit Bulma. Chi-Chi was pregnant. She gave a wide smile.
"Bulma, what are you laughing at?"
"What?" The blue haired woman turned her attention to Krillin. "Nothing."
"Alright."
"Stop trying to make me say it, Krillin! You'll know it when it's time."
"I'm not doing anything, Bulma! Geez."

"Krillin, is there any food left?" Goku asked.
"Yes there is. It's in the oven."
"Krillin cooked?" Bulma asked surprised as she watched Goku getting his food. "That's a first. He never cooked when I was here."
"Of course not. Why would I cook when you could?"
Bulma frowned but she couldn't think of anything to snap back at him.
"He can really cook." Gohan said.
"Really? Let me try it."
Before the blue haired woman could even get a grain of rice, Goku was already repeating his meal.
"Oh my god, Goku! Aren't you ever satisfied?"
"I'm sorry, Bulma. I'm really hungry."
She looked over to the saucepans to see if there was any food left. She sighed deeply when she saw there wasn't.
"Why am I so surprised?" She mumbled to herself.
Everybody started laughing at Bulma's bad luck, except Vegeta. But then again, he was always serious.
"Wow, Krillin." Goku said as he let his head fall back. "You should be a chef or something."
"Thanks, Goku. But you know fighting is what I really love."
"Yeah. I know what you mean."
"So Goku… how did you get back? I mean, we didn't ask Shen Long to bring you back."
"Well, Mr. Kaioh allowed me to come."
"Are you staying for good?"
"No, just for two days."
"Then we'll have plenty of time to fight."
Bulma gave a look of disapproval to her husband.
"Actually, no. Mr. Kaioh said if I spend energy, my time here will decrease. I plan on staying here all these days, so no fighting this time."
"Damn it. I was looking forward to fighting with you."
"Sorry, Vegeta." The fighter turned to Gohan. "Let's go home, son?"
"Yeah." He said excitedly. "Mom, let's go!"
The seven year old boy turned to where his mother was standing a few minutes ago.
"Mom?"
"Where did she go?"

Chi-Chi was outside Roshi's house. The breeze brushing against her cheeks made her tremble a little, though the weather was warm. Her eyes well up with tears as she rested her hand on her belly. Bulma was watching her from the doorway. She saw the way her friend was talking to her unborn baby. The blue haired woman smiled sympathetically because she went through the same thing. Then she walked to Chi-Chi.
"How long have you known?"
Chi-Chi was caught by surprise. She didn't know Bulma was watching her.
"Oh." She finally said. "For a couple of weeks now."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
"Does Gohan know?"
"Yes he does. He's been very supportive about it. It really helps me keep going."
"I bet. Gohan is a great kid and I'm sure this one will be as well."
"Yeah. I hope so."
"He will." Bulma smiled. "And now Trunks will have someone to play with."
"That's true."
"Are you telling Goku?"
"I'm not sure." Chi-Chi looked away. "I really should but he's only staying for two days so there isn't really a reason, you know?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"I'd love to talk more, so drop by whenever you can. Goku and Gohan are ready to leave."
"Sure thing."
Bulma watched as their spacecraft took off.

I'm sorry for taking so long to update, but my writers block struck in. This chapter seems dull but it will get better, I promise. Please read & review. Constructive criticism is always welcome!
