*-Time skip: 3:04 a.m.-*
Caden sat up in her bed panting, crying, and sweating. She got out of her 'big girl bed', as Goku called it. She ran into Gohan's room and climbed onto his bed.
"Bubba... Get up please"
Gohan opened his eyes to his baby sister crying on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and sat up.
"What's wrong, munchkin?"
"There's a monster in my room."
"Do you want me to check the room for you?"
"Okay... Will you get me other jammies? These are wet."
Gohan paled.
"Did you pee the bed?"
She looked at herself.
"No, it's just wet under my arms and my neck."
"Okay. You lay in Bubba's bed and I'll be back, Okay?"
"K, Bubba. Be careful."
"I will be."
Caden got under the covers and laid on the little pillow Gohan always left on his dresser for her. Gohan, meanwhile, took one glance around the room, then started to pick out her pajamas. There was nothing there but a creaky ceiling fan. She always gets scared of that.
"Okay... Shorts, tank top,"
He thought for a minute before he decided on it.
"Panties."
He took one more look around the room and left to get her changed.
"Did you see it, Bubba?"
"Nope. That's because Big Brothers scare monsters away."
She smiled.
"Here's your clothes. I'm going to check on the others, okay?"
"K Bubba, I'll hurry."
He walked out into the hallway and turned let into Goten and Goshen's room. Both were passed out. He picked them both outfits out before he went to check on Chiyu. He walked in her room; forgetting that her door creaks. She rolled over as Gohan's heart pounded with fear. She is not one to wake up in the middle of the night. But, gladly, she was still asleep. He made sure to get her out an outfit and went back to his room. She was laid down under the covers.
"Come on, Bubba."
She yawned.
"I'm tired."
He laid down with her and covered up. She scooted closer until she was laying against his chest.
"Goodnight, Bubba. I love you."
He wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on hers.
"Goodnight, Munchkin. I love you, too."
After having to read her a story, they finally went to sleep.
*-Time skip: 6:30 a.m.-*
"Bubba, wake up. Mommy said we have to get ready for school."
Gohan's eyes opened and he smiled.
"Good morning, Munchkin."
"Morning, Bubba."
He sat up and lifted her off of his bed.
"Go get dressed in your room, okay?"
"K Bubba!"
They both got dressed, Gohan brushed her hair, Caden brushed his (and secretly put a bow in her pocket for later), they got their socks on, went to eat, then brushed their teeth, packed their bags, got their shoes on and were ready to go. Gohan picked Caden up as they said bye to their parents.
"Bye, Mommy! Bye, Daddy!"
"Bye baby!"
"Have fun at school!"
Gohan laughed and waved. And at last, they were off!
*-Setting change: OSH-*
"Hey guys, look, nerd-boy's actually here early."
Erasa and Videl looked to where Sharpener was pointing to see Gohan bent down and him gesturing for someone or something to come towards him. Next thing they see is a little girl with blonde curly hair run into Gohan's arms.
"Who's that?"
Erasa and Sharpener shrugged as they tried to think about it. Gohan came up and sat right by Erasa with the girl in his lap; carelessly swinging her feet back and forth. Erasa was the first to ask. Probably for the best.
"Hey, Gohan! Who's the little cutie?"
Gohan looked at Caden, who was looking around the room in astonishment. He chuckled and turned to Erasa.
"This is my little sister, Caden."
Erasa smiled and looked at the toddler in his lap.
"Bubba" She whispered.
"Can I stand up?"
"Where?"
He whispered back.
"On your legs."
He nodded.
"Yep. Hands, please."
She held his hands and lifted her until she was standing. He kept his arms around her and (because she's short) his head on her back.
"How old is she?"
He looked at Sharpener.
"She's 3."
It was Videl's turn.
"Why'd you bring her?"
"She's never really been off the mountain, so I thought it might be good to get her out a bit more."
Caden smiled and looked at Videl and waved shyly. Videl smiled and waved back. She covered her face by nuzzling into Gohan's chest. He laughed and held her closer.
"She's kinda shy."
"I see."
"Bubba told me we would go to the store before we go home, too."
Gohan nodded. The teacher and the rest of the class walked in and Gohan sat her on his lap.
"Good morning, class. Today we have a guest joining us today."
The class looked around.
"Please welcome Caden. She's Gohan's younger sister. Would you please tell us about yourself, Ms. Caden?"
She turned toward Gohan and laid against him and shook her head. Gohan spoke up for her.
"She doesn't like talking in front of people."
They smiled and greeted her; causing her to press herself against Gohan more. He laid his head on hers as the teacher discussed more about their field trip on Monday. Yep, it going to be a LONG day...
Again.
