Chapter 4

The door opened slowly creaking on the hinges it hung on. I took a deep breath holding it in waiting for the door to reveal her. It seemed like forever and I began to have second thoughts. She was going to hate me if she saw me anyway, she would never forgive me for leaving her.

It finally opened and before me was a young girl. Her hair was jet black hanging around her cheeks. It was the girl I saw at the door. She looked just like Videl.

"Is this who you've been looking for, or..oh no. You were looking for someone older weren't you," Maron let out a low laugh, "I'm so sorry. I don't think she wants to see you. Guess you'll have to settle for her. Shall I get you a room?"

I stared at the girl for a long minute taking in her features. She looked just like Videl. Could she be her daughter? Does that mean Videl is with someone else?

"You're Gohan," the girl almost yelled, "What are you doing back here now? Why? Tell me."

"I don't know," I stuttered and struggled to find the right things to say, "Do you know Videl?"

"Of course I do she's my mother!"

(Bra)

I stood by the door with my ear against the hard wood. Pan had a told her she had a strange feeling she knew that man and after that she took off. Maybe Pan was finding her father too. Maybe hers won't try to fuck her.

There was yelling on the other side but I couldn't quite make it out. I decided to go talk to Pan's mother. She would probably know more than I can gather by listening in. So I went to her room and found 18 with her. I cleared my throat and they both looked up at me, "Videl, can I talk to you alone for a moment?"

Videl nodded at 18 and she left the room. "What is it Bra?"

"Well," I wondered what I should bring up first, "Do you know anything about my mother or father? Because my father came to see me a few days ago but he didn't bring my mother, he didn't mention her either."

"I think your mother used to work here, if I remember right. Vegeta ended up taking her as his mistress and she was pretty concerned about you. Vegeta's wife had taken over in caring for Trunks and started to claim him as her own. She didn't want that to happen to you so she brought you here and gave you to ChiChi. ChiChi ended up taking off so you just kind of got adopted by everyone else."

"Okay. Who's ChiChi?"

"She used to work here too. Her family ended up living here and she helped out like Pan does."

"Who's Gohan?"

"Gohan…. How do you know about him?"

I shrugged. I wasn't sure if I should tell her everything so I made something up, "You know, Pan she talks a lot about him and I was just wondering. "

Videl sighed almost sadly and put her head down slightly, "That's Pan's father."

(Pan)

I can't believe it's him. Why are all these people just showing up all of a sudden? They all abandon us and now they want to just be accepted back in our lives? This guy doesn't even know who I am.

"Don't you get it? I'm your daughter you idiot." I searched his face as it went blank. There was nothing. No shock, no happiness, nothing. Does this mean he doesn't care? Does he believe me? "Yeah that's right I'm your daughter," I snapped at him even though he had done nothing, "What do you want after all these years? You think everything can just be okay? What is mom going to think?"

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know."

"Yeah well. I'm so surprised," I rolled my eyes at him, but I have no idea why I was so mad.

"Where is your mom? Can I see her?"

"Do you really think that's a good idea? You just walking back after years of being gone."

"I guess not. Maybe I should just go." He left the room and I could hear him walking down the hall. His footsteps made my heart beat hard as I realized I could be losing someone important. Madam was laughing behind but I didn't even turn to look at her.

"Oh this is rich," she laughed as I walked out, "This place is turning back into a drama I swear." She continued laughing and I made my way back to my room.
