"abghstfth"
Goku sat up to see Gochi's limbs flailing from the top of her crib while she made fart noises; hoping they were coming from her mouth.
"What are you doing up so early, princess?"
He sighed as he looked at the clock.
"How long have you been up?"
He grabbed her from her crib and laid down with her on her chest.
"Dada!"
He looked with astonishment.
'Maybe I'm just hearing things. Yeah, I'm just tired! She's way too young to say words yet!'
"What was that?"
"Dada!"
'Or I heard her say her first word!'
"You'll be quite the over-achiever, won't you?"
She cooed happily.
"Goku, what are you doing awake?"
"Dada!"
Her eyes opened all the way and looked at their daughter.
"What'd she say?"
"See, I thought I was hearing things, too."
"Dada."
"Someone's quite the over-achiever, huh?"
"That's what I said."
She laid on his arm and wrapped one around the gurgling baby. He followed suit and then heard the floor creak outside the door.
'Either Goten or Caden.'
Chichi got up before he could and opened the door.
"Goten, what are you doing up?"
Goku didn't hear his response, but Chichi left with him.
"Just you and me then, chunky butt."
She was still gurgling, but now her goal was to roll off of his stomach.
"What are you doing, ya little weirdo?"
She tried to roll the other way, but Goku stopped her. Again.
"Stop it."
He was half laughing, and half serious. Chichi came back in the room to see her husband's confused face and her youngest daughter rolling side to side.
"What in the world is going on here?"
"Someone thinks it's party time."
He stood and held her to his chest.
"Let's go get you some night-night juice!"
She happily gurgled as they went out the door.
"Shh, you'll wake your brothers and sisters. If you want to lay with Daddy on the couch, you'll have to be quiet."
She was quiet.
'Now I know how to keep you quiet.'
He made her bottle at which she stared contently at, and then he went and laid on the couch and fed her the bottle. She was over halfway done by the time it was slipping out of her mouth and through his shirt.
"Someone's sleepy, huh?"
She rubbed her eye with one hand while the other held his index finger (also known as a pointer finger, if you don't know).
"Aww, my little princess."
She nuzzled her little head into his chest and slowly and tiredly drank the rest of her bottle. He took her bottle out of her mouth and replaced it with a pacifier. Soon enough, they both fell asleep. Now that, that was not part of the plan. The plan was to get her to fall asleep, and then take her back into the room. But, the plan obviously failed. Chichi walked downstairs to find her husband and daughter. She found them, but they were freezing. So, she went back upstairs, and came down with a fairly large blanket and covered them. Then walked back upstairs, and almost had a heart attack.
"Goten, what's wrong, baby?"
"I had an accident. Sorry, Mom."
"Don't worry, baby, but I told you not to drink so much water. Let's go clean you up, yeah?"
"Okay."
She got him in the shower, and as he washed off, she took his sheets, blanket, and pajamas and put them in the washer. After he got out, he got into new pajamas and Chichi took him to lay with her.
"Mom?"
"Yes, Goten?"
"Where are Dad and Gochi?"
"They're sleeping on the couch."
"So we have the bed to ourselves?"
She laughed.
"Yes, we do."
"That's gonna be weird."
"You know, when you were a baby, your father had to sleep on the couch a lot."
"Really?"
"Yep. All of you kids have made your father sleep on the couch with you countless times. It started with Gohan, Then Chiyu, Goshen, You, Caden, and now your baby sister."
Why did we like to sleep on the couch?"
"I don't know. Maybe it was the only place where you and your father could have time together as babies. But, I don't think I'll ever really know the real reason."
"Will you tell me a story?"
"Sure."
So, she went on to tell him a story about a selfish giant. Although, she didn't tell him the last part because that part is where the children found the giant dead under a tree in the winter (It's a real book...). So, she made an alternate ending. He was soon asleep, in which she fell asleep afterward. Making up endings don't seem hard at first, but when you're put in the spotlight of having to actually do it yourself, there's a lot of pressure being put on you.
