Interesting tidbit to add to your OC. :3
Poor Goku, I hope he can overcome his fears.

First thing's first: I really, really hope your eye gets better! That's just really terrible and I feel badly for you :(
Second thing: This chapter was completely awesome, especially since you were in pain when you wrote it! I liked that there was some more interaction with ChiChi and Goku, just because I figured there'd be more than there already was. She kinda seemed to sorta disappear from the story there for awhile, but I'm glad she's back. I'm also glad that she truly cares about Goku and wants to help.
Goku should probably also try to seek out help from Gohan and Goten, since they are his sons and he probably trusts them more than anyone else right now. Neither are doctors so it should be fine in that area as well!
I feel so sorry for Goku because he's going through a lot right now and it certainly can't be very good on the baby. I hope the stress doesn't cause harm on the child, because Vegeta and Goku really don't need those types of complications in their relationship right now.
I'm also surprised that ChiChi's new husband is willing to help out. It's great because Goku needs all the help he can get. It's too bad that he isn't really allowing the man to be close though. I just hope everything turns out okay! I want my happy ending, darnit! *bangs fist*
Great chapter and it's okay that it was short. The quality made up for the quantity!
Love always,
Talitha.

I do enjoy this story. I may not review every chapter but I'm always here. It's just difficult to come up with novel things to say. You really capture your characters emotional development and make it easy to believe. This story is the only reason I come to the DBZ section of AFF.
I hope your eye recovers soon.

Me again. I just wanted to disagree with a point in Mortifer Lascivio's review. I don't think Goku would go to his sons for help and support with these issues. Children look up to their parents. It's hard for them to deal with parents only being human (or saiyan) even once they're grown and know better. Equally I think Goku would feel a need to be strong in front of his sons. He is used to being seen as the rock solid protector and now that he can't be he would try even harder to preserve the illusion.

Ahh, poor Goku. PTSD does make a lot of sense, especially considering all the horrific things Goku endured for years under Dr. Villa's so called 'care.' I'm sorry your eye is hurting you and I hope it gets better. I look forward to reading how Victor's treatment for Goku will help him to be less afraid and panic stricken around those that truly care for him.

First of all...YOUR POOR EYE!! I hope you're okay. :<
So Goku's been diagnosed! PTSD. It's amazing he was never a victim of it sooner, after all he's been through and witnessed in his life. I like how you brought him back to ChiChi and Victor. Victor is one of the new character's to us, and it's nice to learn more about him.
I loved the part where he tells Goku he's a doctor and Goku freaks out. XD I'm sorry, I love Goku with all my heart, but imagining him spazz like that makes me laugh. Awww, why am I so cruel? D:
I was surprised to hear Goku say that he resented the baby! I hope his feelings change. Goku needs to go back back and find his caring and nurturing self.
I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T POSTED ANY NEW DOODLES! I've been busy with so many other drawings. I have so many things I WANT to doodle though. I hope you don't suspect that I've dropped the doodling. I would never.
As alllllwaayyys: I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE! And I hope your eye is okay! -:: Cling. ::-

I can only repeat myself: you REALLY like to torture poor Goku... ;-)
Well, it would have surprised me if Goku would have shrugged a trauma like this off just like that... Even someone as strong - mentally as well as physically - as him couldn't do that.
And blaming Vegeta like this... you know, with not being there to save him... wow... Goku not trusting Bulma or even Vegeta as his mate... It even hurt READING this.
You're doing great. It's very plausible... I like it... can't wait for more...
Oh, and I hope you don't mind me reviewing this either here or on DEVIANTART (Name's the same, as you surely know ^^; ). But reviewing I will. :-)

Chapter 21
(I keep stalling ^^; )
Another thrilling chapter. Oh that torturing was SO Vegeta! Villa got the wrong man to plead for mercy I'm so glad Vegeta got his revenge. I wasn't expecting though Goku's reaction, he really must have suffered much more than you even have let slip for him to kill someone like that, without a second thought. I hope it serves him to start anew. Without the fear to fall into Villa's hands again he may heal, and he can trust again. It will help in his relationship with Vegeta. Ah, but now he's confused about his feelings. I like it, I find very believable that with all his emotional and psychological issues he didn't jump into Vegeta's arms suddenly infatuated like a teenager with his first crush. I really find fascinating the idea of Vegeta trying to get to him, to gain his confidence and his love. Yay for the wooing! Though Vegeta well, he's Vegeta, will he be able to properly court Goku, or will he lose his patience? Anyway, I love Vegeta's declaration. Serious, contained but sincere, forward and straight to the point, without sounding sentimental but intense. Ahh you truly had the real Vegeta there, and it gave Goku something to think, to consider his own feelings and ahhh it was absolutely marvelous.

Chapter 21
Ahh, too much for a wooing. First a cold get in the way (sick Vegeta was amusing lol) and then Vegeta, with his habitual sensitivity and subtleness...*cough, cough* O.O goes all jealous. He seems to take one step in the right direction but invariably ends screwing everything and back to start again. Poor Goku. I wonder if Vegeta will be able to mend things with Goku, he went too far. *sighs* Ah well this chapter started funny and ended intense; you never disappoint. ^.^

Chapter 22
(Obviously the first review I submitted as "chapter 21" was meant for chapter 20 ^^; )
I forgot to say about the previous chapter that I wasn't expecting Goku recovering his voice, it was a pleasant surprise. It seems that all the horrors of the past are starting to be left behind.
So finally Vegeta was forgiven. Well, Goku was so understanding. It's comprehensible that Vegeta is the jealous type, not only as you explained because all the things Goku's been through, but also because of Vegeta's own past. He lose everything in his childhood, so he must feel overprotective about what his maybe fearing something like that could ever befall him again. But Goku's concern to have to cope with another unstable mate again was perfectly understandable. The obsessed fangirlish part in me squealed at the reconciliation scene (ticklish Goku and purring Vegeta hehe) and swooned at the super sexy beach scene. Vegeta might not be romantic at all but he knows how to seduce.
BTW, trust to appeal to Vegeta's vanity to get something from him (maybe with a tan you won't look old lol Goku can be a little devious when he wants something, ah Vegeta doesn't know where he has gotten himself into Purrrrrrr ^.^) Well, it seems that things are starting to go smooth and peachy between those two, yay!
