Goku's daughter!

Chapter 1

"GohaaaaaaAAAAAAAN!"

Chi-Chi shrieked as fluid dripped down her legs. She buckled over in pain as her son sprinted into the room to find her in such a pained state.

"Mom! What's going on?!" he ran to her side.

"She... She's coming!" Chi-Chi shrieked again. Gohan looked at his mother's swollen belly and gaped. He was only seven after all. What do you do when a woman goes into labor in the middle of nowhere!?

"What do I do?!" Gohan yelled.

"Call Bulma! Tell her to bring a doctor!" she wailed and it reverberated throughout the house, "And drugs!"

Gohan helped his mother hobble to her bed that she had been using alone for the last 6 months, raced to the phone, and dialed their family friend, Bulma. As the phone rang, Gohan's heart raced faster and faster. Come on, Bulma! Please hurry! He heard the phone click.

"Hello?" a voiced croaked in the phone.

"Bulma!" Gohan shouted, "You have to get here now! Mom is having her baby!"

"Wh...What?" Bulma's dry throat cracked again. She had clearly just woken up.

Chi-Chi's cries echoed in the background. "GET TO MY HOUSE NOW WITH A DOCTOR AND PAIN MEDICATION NOW BULMA!" Gohan shouted, waking up Bulma.

"Uhh... I'll be there soon, Gohan! Sit tight!" Bulma stuttered and ran for her clothing. As soon as she was decent, she kissed her sleeping partner who was still sleeping soundly after a night of passion.

Two hours later, Bulma pounded Gohan's door and she could hear Chi-Chi's screams of pain. Gohan was at the door before she could finish the third wrap.

"Come on! I tried to help her, but I didn't know what to do!" Gohan said with tears rimming his eyes.

"It's alright, Gohan. It'll all be alright. This is Dr. Bonen. He's one of the best. This way Doctor." Bulma coolly stated as she led the small, elderly physician up the stairs towards Gohan's laboring mother. Gohan expected Bulma to be much more frantic about the whole situation but, she seemed to know exactly how to handle it. Thank goodness.

Gohan went to follow them upstairs but, the door was shut in his face before he could enter the threshold. He almost blasted the door off its hinges. He quietly regained his composure and went down the stairs to sit on the couch, pace, doze off, and repeat.

As Gohan was finally about to escape into a deep slumber, he heard something. It was a shriek, but it wasn't Chi-Chi's. His blood-shot, exhausted eyes flew open and he ran for the stairs. The door to his parent's room creaked open and Bulma stalked out followed by Dr. Bonen, his white coat covered in blood. Gohan nearly threw up. "Is-Is she...?" Gohan whimpered.

"She's fine, Gohan. You can go see her... and your new baby sister." Bulma smiled as did Gohan and he ran into find blood-soaked sheets, empty syringes and a broken vase. But amidst all the chaos, he saw his mother, hair a disheveled mess and sweat making her glow in the soft lights of the twin lamps on the nightstands on either sides of the bed. She looked up from pink blanket in her arms.

"Gohan." She hoarsely whispered.

He tip-toed over to the bedside trying with all his might not to make a sound and saw a pink, mushy, squishy form in his mother's arms. And it was one of the best things he'd ever seen.

"Come up here." Chi-Chi patted the bed and Gohan crawled next to his mother with care. He got a closer look at his new sibling. She had Chi-Chi's eyes, but his father's features. His father... Goku. He should be here now.

A tear abandoned Gohan's eye.

"What's the matter, sweetie?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Dad should be here too." His voice cracked.

Chi-Chi's eyes saddened. "I wish he was Gohan." She sniffed, "I know it seems that I don't understand why he does what he does. With his 'heroics' and what not. But I do. I always have. I always will. It's what he is and I can't change that." She confessed.

"Do you think he's...?" Gohan couldn't finish his question. He didn't want to.

"No." Chi-Chi said. "I know he's still out there. I just don't know where."

The bundle in her arms stirred and squealed. They mother and son giggled. "What are we going to name her?" Gohan asked.

"I don't know. What do you think?" she asked.

"I have no clue." Gohan admitted. "The only thing I've ever named was Icarus. And that pet rock collection I had two years ago."

Chi-Chi laughed. "I don't think she'd appreciate being called Icarus or Peridotite."

"Aww come on! What if it was her middle name?" Gohan tried to argue.

"No." Chi-Chi chuckled. "Think again."

Gohan sat on the bed silently watching his unnamed baby sister squirm in their mother's arms.

"Isami." Gohan mumbled.

"What?"

"Isami. I think Dad will like it."

Chi-Chi smiled warmly. "It suits her doesn't it? Isami it is."

The bundle opened her deep brown inquisitive eyes to look at her mother and brother.

"Hello, Isami," cooed Chi-Chi, "this is your big brother, Gohan. He's going to take good care of us until your Daddy get home."

The squirmy baby poked her tiny arm from the blanket and grunted. Gohan extended his finger for her to grab and she grasped it tightly. She was definatly Goku's little girl. The sibling's eyes met and a connection was immediately made.

"Tomorrow you'll be able to hold her for the first time. She's too fragile now but, I remember when you were first born you were strong and smiling the second day while I was still bedridden."

Gohan's face lit with excitement but, before he could reply there was a soft knock at the door.

"Come in." said Chi-Chi.

"You named her after me right?" Bulma joked while she strolled in with the good doctor in tow.

"Sorry, Bulma" Chi-Chi laughed, "Gohan already chose one."

"Uh-oh," Bulma said with feigned worry, "what is it?"

"It's actually a good pick. Isami." Chi-Chi said while Gohan smiled proudly.

Bulma couldn't hold back a smile, "It's perfect. Goku'll love that."

"Mrs. Chi-Chi, I need to take your vitals to make sure there are no adverse effects from the birthing process." The wrinkly medic stated in the most monotone voice as possible.

"Of course, Sir. And thank you so much for coming." Chi-Chi responded.

She only received a grunt back. Gohan moved to give the doctor space to work. He couldn't keep his eyes off his new baby sister. He was so excited! He couldn't wait until she was old enough to train. Having someone else around to play with will be so much fun! Gohan thought. But most of all he couldn't wait until his father returned and they could all be a family again.
