Life With You

Part 11: Super Moon

AN: I've gone back and forth in my mind if Goku should confront Kaifun. I thought if Goku really talk to Kaifun he will kill him (lol) and that's not Goku. I thought ChiChi dealing with Kaifun would be enough but I later thought as her husband and the one who is the target of Kaifun's hate, Goku needed to talk to Kaifun but I hit a wall. With Goku's personality, he wouldn't be the right person to talk to Kaifun but Full Moon Goku (Kakarrot) will........

Gyu-Mao always looked forward to lunches with his daughter and son-in-law. Even though he had a live-in staff, without his daughter, living in the castle was lonely at times. That's why whenever they visited, he made lunch a big event. He had to now with his daughter pregnant. Four months pregnant, ChiChi ate almost as much as Goku.

Lunch was over now and while Goku rubbed his full belly, ChiChi went over her recent doctor's appointment with her father. "Here it is, Dad. Your grandchild." ChiChi handed Gyu-Mao a black and white photo of the sonogram.

Gyu-Mao teared up seeing the black and white picture. He couldn't decipher anything except a child's head. "It's perfect, ChiChi."

"Do you want to know what it is?"

"You know?" ChiChi nodded. "What is it?"

"It's a boy."

"A grandson!" Gyu-Mao clapped joyously. "How wonderful!"

ChiChi had a hand on her protruding stomach. She wore a maternity dress but aside from moving up one breast size and her stomach looking like she ate too much, there was little difference to ChiChi's physical shape. That was expected given she was in top martial artist shape when she became pregnant.

"Goku has been feeling our son through his Ki," ChiChi informed her father with a sly smile.

"Ah," Gyu-Mao knew of Ki but he wasn't very good at it. Gyu-Mao never relied on it because his bulk and brute muscles defeated his opponents. "So, how is my grandson's Ki?"

"Sometime it's high. Sometimes it's low but I think he's strong. Sometimes it's hard to read ChiChi's Ki when I'm feeling for the baby's. It changes a lot."

"Goku, I have a growing baby inside me. It's natural my and our baby's Ki will fluctuate. It should be that way until the baby's born."

ChiChi had a point but he didn't like it. It bothered him he couldn't always pinpoint ChiChi's Ki. Before her pregnancy, Goku could feel her miles away when he trained in the forests. Now it fluctuated and in a panic, Goku sometimes return home early from his training to make sure ChiChi was still there.

"I know he's strong." Gyu-Mao was sure of it. "He has Goku and our family genes flowing through him, ChiChi. Ox isn't just a nickname for our family."

Mrs. Niver and another member of the staff entered to clear the lunch plates. ChiChi eyed the old woman suspiciously. Gyu-Mao noticed his daughter's stare and turned his attention to his son-in-law. "So, Goku, how are you getting ready for fatherhood?"

"Nothing," Goku answered with a lost look. "ChiChi's the one carrying the baby. Not me."

The plates in Mrs. Niver's hands shook. She noticed ChiChi's stare but said nothing as she put the plates in the cart. "Goku's been helping me decorate the baby's room." ChiChi kept her eyes on Mrs. Niver; mentally daring her to speak. "Now that we know we're having a boy, we can decide what colors to pick for his room."

"The staff has been helping me sort through your baby things. Your crib is in great condition. So is the rocking chair your mother used to sit in with you. I'm having them repainted."
