Chapter Sixteen: Gohan’s POV

I took a moment to sit and rest. I felt dizzy and my abdomen was starting to hurt. I promised I wouldn’t over do it for the child’s sake. I ran my hand in circles over my lower abdomen before I even realized I was doing it. I smiled. I was looking forward to being a ‘mother’ to Piccolo’s children. I had experience with it, raising Goten but it was different. He was my brother, not my child.

“You okay Gohan?” I heard Shin asked I looked at him with a smile.

“Yeah, I just figured it would be a good idea to take a break, for the baby’s sake. I still can’t believe that I’m pregnant...” I muttered. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to be but I just figured that being half human would have made me sterile. Not to mention I just mated with Piccolo and already we had a child on the way, we didn’t even really have time to adjust to being just the two of us as a couple.

“Why is that? From what I’ve seen you and Piccolo will be great parents.”

“That’s not what I was talking about. I’m not pure saiyan Shin...human males don’t have children, I was kind of expecting to be sterile or at least have a harder time than this getting pregnant.” I said softly, trying not to think about the possibility that I might be able to carry the child to full term but birthing it might kill me. That’s keeping out the fact that our child is a mix breed that could throw in extra complications.

“Everything will work out fine Gohan, you just have to believe that it will. So thought of any names for the little one?”

“Not really. Piccolo and I just haven’t had the time yet to talk about it; training for the tournament now dealing with Buu. I was thinking maybe Vi’rintor if it’s a boy or Jewel if it’s a girl but that’s just what I was thinking. But I rather talk to Piccolo about it before setting on anything first.” I said looking at my stomach as I rubbed it. I can see why women do it all the time when they’re pregnant. It was comforting and it feels like your forming a bond with the child.

“Vi’rintor...isn’t that a demonic name?” I laughed at Shin’s shock at that.

“Yeah it is, I came across a book about local myths in my grandfather’s village and I read through it. It gave a list of demonic names, how to say it and what they mean. I like Vi’rintor because it meant Guardian of souls. Piccolo’s name means otherworld and he’s the king there so I thought it was kind of fitting, don’t you think?” I laid back looking up at the sky with an arm behind my head. I couldn’t pull the other hand away from its lazy circles it was running. Shin laughed laying back beside me.

“Very fitting indeed... I have a question for you. Is it worth it? Breaking the rules to be with Piccolo?” I blinked. I didn’t know if I was breaking rules by being with him or not. Maybe he was talking about be giving up my place in heaven to be with him. It didn’t matter to me, so long as I was with him. Life without Piccolo in it was worse than Hell itself and I lived too many years without him to want to go back to it.

“Yeah, it’s worth more to me to be with him then to go without him. I’d only be in Hell if I wasn’t with him. You’re asking because you don’t know what to do about your feelings for Dende?” I laughed at his puzzled look he shot at me. I remember that in the first few months after Piccolo left to go to Namek, Dende tried to take Piccolo’s place because he couldn’t stand by watching me suffer anymore. We kind of went out and shard a few kisses but it was never the same. We both agreed that it was better for us to be best friends instead of lovers. Nothing between us was off limits to talk about including what it was like to sleep with Piccolo. I laughed when I heard about Dende’s crush on Piccolo and how he wanted the other but after seeing how much I was affected by Piccolo leaving, he figured that I was better off with the demon king than he was.

“How did you figure it out?”

“Besides the fact that Dende is my best friend and that we share everything together, you’re an easy read. Not to mention how much you pissed off Piccolo in the span of a single day, the last person to do that was Frieza. Look, if you want his love, you have to be willing to give up everything to be with him. If you can’t do that, then forget about him. I know you’ve seen it for yourself; his soul is very different than ours. I’m agreeing with Piccolo on this, if you can’t make him the center of your life, walk away from him. That was what I was prepared to do to be with Piccolo, be with him or suffer a slow, painful death.” I said being honest. Yeah I kissed the many girlfriends I had but most of them were given to me and really, they made me sick to go through and think about then even now still made me feel sick.

“How do I get him to see that I’m willing to give up everything to be with him?”

“That’s something you must find out for yourself Shin, no one can help you with it. No one could help me to get Vegeta to see that, or for Piccolo to see just how much he of a roll he plays in Gohan’s life.” I looked at dad and smiled softly. He was in his own silent Hell, now that he and Vegeta were sent to two different fates in the afterlife. Something else I regretted, because I didn’t listen during my fight with Cell they lost out on a life together, now they were kept apart in the afterlife. “You about ready to go back to training Gohan?”

“Yeah” I sat up only to get dizzy. Maybe I wasn’t quite ready to yet. I stayed sitting it’ll it passed. I knew they weren’t going to push me to move faster since they didn’t want to risk the child’s life more than they had too. Slowly I pushed myself to stand only to have the dizziness get worse. I felt Dad helping me to sit back down.

“You might be ready to but your body and that child aren’t ready yet.” He said with a laugh. I laughed with him. He knew I was more than capable of training myself to the breaking point. He watched it for a year in the time chamber. “How are you feeling Gohan? And be honest about it.”

“Like I have no energy at all in my body, other than laying down, I’m dizzy.” I said trying to will the dizziness away, when it back fired, making me feel nauseated, I laid back down. It eased the dizziness away but did nothing for the nausea. ‘Piccolo...can you hear me?’ I needed to hear the sound of his voice, panic and fear was setting in.

“Thought so, take a nap, I’ll wake you in a couple of hours with a snack then we’ll see how you’re doing okay?” I nodded to him closing my eyes, praying Piccolo could hear me.

‘I can hear you kid, what’s wrong?’ he sounded worried. Maybe it was because he heard something in my voice or maybe because I never talked to him mentally when I was training and that he thinks that I’m still training.

‘I’m on a break rate now...I started to feel some pain from my stomach, now I’m dizzy if I sit up or stand so dad’s making me rest for a few hours. I just needed to hear your voice.’ I said, wishing I was with him. It felt wrong to be away from him.

‘Glad to hear your taking breaks now’ I knew he was teasing me but it only served to further the feeling that this wasn’t right in me. ‘Gohan you sure your okay?’

‘Physically I’m fine outside of the dizziness but emotional, this feels wrong. I feel like I shouldn’t be away from your side. At least not rate now.’

‘You’re going to be fine Gohan...stupid kids, when I get my hands on them, I’m going to teach them the meaning of hell...’ I chuckled. Goten and Trunks must have gotten him with a prank. ‘Sorry about that but seriously, Gohan I know your emotions aren’t stable rate now and I get your panicking about being pregnant. Take things one at a time. I’ll see you soon. When this is all over we’ll have the time to talk everything over okay?’

‘Yeah...one last thing before I take a nap, what do you think of the names Vi’rintor and Jewel for possible names for our child.’ I don’t know why I asked. It really could have waited till later but it was gnawing at me. I could feel his mind mulling it over.

‘I think their perfect be we are talking about where you got Vi’rintor from, got that kid.’

‘I look forward to it my king’ I muttered back as I drifted off to sleep.

I was awoken with a steady shake. I manage to open my eyes, looking up a dad. I was suddenly hit with the urge to throw-up. He stuck a bucket in my lap. “I had a feeling that’s where you were going to be sitting at when you woke up. Feeling any better?” I shook my head. I had a headache to go with the nausea and dizziness. “I’m going to go with that’s a no for food.” I nodded before throwing up again into the bucket.

After twenty minutes, I was starting to feel a bit better though I was still a bit dizzy. I took the glass of water that was offered with a nod of thanks. I didn’t feel ready for talking just yet. Taking sips to make sure it didn’t come back up on me. “After the glass of water want to see how far you training has come.” I nodded to Shin. I eyed the sword wondering if it was going to be really heavy all over again.

I passed dad the empty glass and slowly got up. The dizziness was there by it was manageable for the time being. I picked up the sword that to my relief wasn’t as heavy as when I picked it up the first time. I didn’t know what Shin had planned to test out my skills with the blade but he had one. It was clear in his eyes.

“I’m going to throw a block of kachin towards you and you slice it with the sword. It’s the hardest metal in the universe.” Shin said. I nodded; at least the test seemed easy enough. Doing it was a different story. It came at me, when it was close enough I swung the sword only to have it break. I teleported out of the way so it didn’t hit me, since there was no way I would have been able to move out of the way in time.

I looked down at the broken sword in my hand and dropped it. “Okay that was a bad idea.” I muttered looking at it before walking over to the others. That’s when I felt it, a power coming from within the sword. Turning I looked at the sword hilt that was now glowing. From it came a man that looked like Shin only much; much older. I couldn’t believe that the man before us had come from the sword.

“About time someone let me out of that thing.” The old man said as he stretched himself out. I didn’t know what to say.

“Excuse me sir but who are you?” Shin asked. Glad he did cause I wasn’t going to do it.

“Who am I, you ask, I’m your grandfather 15 generations back, wiper snappers these days have no respect.” I wanted to laugh at that but managed to hold it back, as he looked over us. “So which one of you was it who broke the sword?” he asking . Nervously I raised my hand.

“I did sir” I said bowing to him trying not to get on his bad side. He put his hand on my back I looked at him blinking.

“How would you like your power increased sunny?” he asked as he looked me over. I didn’t know what to make of the guy.

“You can really do that?” At least dad sounded excited by that news. He would though; the thought of those being stronger than him excited him more than anything. Okay that might be a lie but I really didn’t want to know what aroused my father.

“Sure. I can make a kittens roar like a tiger and a lions meow like a kitten. It’s not all that hard to do, if the person on the other end is willing to put in the work for it.” I blinked. I was willing to work as hard as I needed to but I have to worry about another besides myself.

“That’s not a problem sir. Gohan here is a very hard worker when it comes to his training.” I wanted to yell at Shin for that since I wasn’t training all that hard when the sword was intact. I suspect dad figured that out but then he was the one who said not to push myself that hard. I manage to suppress a shiver of disgust as he circled me, apprising me. The only person who ever did this to me was Piccolo and it creped me out then too, and I trusted him. I don’t trust the man apprising me now since I only just met him now.

“hmm... Don’t know how much of that reserve of power you have I can tap into but we will tap into it. Remarkable that someone could have so much energy that lies dormant at your age.” I laughed.

“Trust me sir, I’ve tapped into that power before, several times, but the only way for me to unlock it is getting mad enough that I’m willing to kill to get my way.” I said softly. I wasn’t proud of that fact but it was a part of me, even if I didn’t like it.

“I see, well no matter with what I’m about to do for you, you gave more access to that power then you currently do but not all of it. Now let’s get stated shall we?” I knew it was a rhetorical question as he pushed me into the center of the field before moving to walk around me in large circles. I didn’t know what he was saying but whatever it was it looked stupid and I felt dumb standing here.

‘Hey Piccolo, I freed some old Kai from 15 generations ago and now he doing some funky ritual that’s suppose to increase my power I wanted to give you heads up about it so you’re not worried that I did something stupid to increase my power.’ I really didn’t want to alarm my mate, but I also didn’t want to keep this from him. I felt his sudden dread.

‘Gohan whatever you do, don’t eat or drink anything that they try to give you for it. Our child is classified as a demon, anything that you consume in the rituals will cleanse your body; killing anything that’s demonic in nature.’ He sounds very worried and scared for me and the child.

‘Don’t worry my king, I won’t eat anything that he old man gives me. I love you Piccolo’

‘I love you too Gohan. Just be careful. I don’t want to lose you or our child. You got me.’ I smiled to myself. Letting him feel just how much I agreed with him on that.

“Goku, why is he smiling, doesn’t he realize how ridiculous this looks?” I heard Shin snicker out, making dad laugh harder. I also heard the anger in the old man’s tone as he chanted. He was getting annoyed with the laughing pair.

“I’m going to bet that he’s talking with Piccolo rate now to avoid thinking about how funny this is” dad managed to get out while still laughing. I rolled my eyes closing them, letting myself meditate, doing image train much like Krillen and I did on our way to Namek all those years ago.

I didn’t know how long I stood like that but the next thing I knew, I felt the old man tugging me to sit down. I sat before him. He held out his arms. I closed my eyes going back to the Image training I was doing. “Excuse me ancestor but how long is this going to take?” I faintly heard Shin asked.

“This part is going to take about 24 hours, give or take a few. Now shh, meditation must be had here.” I heard. I sighed to myself knowing that I was going to need to eat sooner or later along with go to the washroom. “Ah... kid, let me ask you something? What’s your breed?”

“I’m half saiyan, half human sir, why do you ask?” I opened my eyes looking at him. I could see the confusion on his face. “The part of me that is saiyan is transfer male.” I added hoping it would lesson his confusion, instead it added to it.

“Doesn’t explain why you’re pregnant with twin demons” I blinked. I knew I was pregnant but I didn’t think it was with twins. I blushed.

“My mate is the current Demon King ruling over Hell” I whispered not sure how the old man would take it. He looked at me dumb founded, not sure what to make of it. I blinked looking at him. “What?”

“Why would a soul like yours ever mate with a beast like that?” I smirked to myself at that one. No one has called Piccolo that one in a long time, at least no one I knew.

“Because he’s been my mentor and friend since I was four years old and I love him. Before you say anything, he loves me back. Now shouldn’t we get back to meditating?” I asked with a smile trying to keep him from flipping his lid from the info. It wasn’t long for him to get board as he pulled out comics and nudie mages to read. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I looked over to Dad and Shin, mouthing that I was getting hungry. Sad thing was is that neither saw it from the laughter they were still doing from the dance the old man did around me. ‘Dad, I’m getting hungry... think you could bring me something to snack on since I can’t leave from this spot?’ I asked him only to hear a faint yes though the laughter. I really didn’t see what was so funny about it, but I wasn’t willing to break their happiness, it was the first time in hours that they had anything to be so jovial over.

The twenty-four hours seemed to crawl by, I kept losing my focus when the old man would laugh at his comics or talk to the woman in his magazines. He really did remind me of Master Roshi. I really hope that when I get old, I don’t act like them. I shivered, the feeling of dread washed over me at that thought. I tried to push it out of my mind but I couldn’t. Thoughts of something happening to Piccolo or our children played before my mind’s eye. I still didn’t know if the old man was right about the twin thing but rate now I wasn’t going to doubt him since he was the one who’s trying to increase my power.

Looking at the old man I sighed. He was fast asleep again. I get that he was cranky after spending years locked within the sword but I didn’t like lack of effort on his part of this deal. ‘Hey Piccolo, I have a question for you, how likely is it for me to be pregnant with twins?’ if I had to wait for the old man to wake up I would talk to my mate about what the old man said.

‘No idea, why do you ask?’

‘Something the old man said to me yesterday. He asked what breed I was when I told him, he asked how it was possible that I was carrying demonic twins...’ I knew I shouldn’t be panicking over it but I haven’t slept since my nap yesterday and I was getting hungry again. I also wanted my mate to be near. I didn’t like how vulnerable I felt with him gone.

‘I’ll talk to Vegeta about it when I see him in ten; Trunks and Goten at taking a nap rate now so I’m checking on a few things in Hell rate now.’ He sounded more relaxed then he did on Earth. It must really bug him that most of his power is sealed when he leaves, out outside of official business.

‘Thanks Piccolo...I’m sorry for being so clingy.’ I whispered, I felt like I was a burden to him, still do since our mating. It was something that I had felt most of my life, a few short weeks wasn’t going to change, at least not right away.

‘Gohan, we’re mates. If I couldn’t handle it, I wouln’td have gone through the ritual with you, remember. I rather have you be clingy than not. I know then that what we did wasn’t a mistake.’ I smiled, suddenly wanting to be with him all the more. He chuckled, catching that thought. ‘After Buu is no longer a threat kid, you can have your way with me.’ I laughed to myself about it.

“Do I want to know what’s so funny?” I opened my eyes looking at the old man sitting before. He was no longer sitting but standing up, stretching out his stiffness.

“Not really sir, is the training done or is there still more?” I was trying to keep up the politeness in my voice. I was in a hurry to get back to Earth, to stop Buu; though getting my way with Piccolo was a nice reward for doing all of this.

“oh that was done about 3 hours ago.” I sighed trying not to show my frustration to the man. I moved to stand but from the lack of really eating over the last day and sitting for so long only made me feel sick standing up. I felt dad catch me before I fell back down.

“First you’re eating Gohan, than you can go play the hero. I rather you sleep first but knowing you, you went into Piccolo’s meditation trick to make up for that.” I laughed. Dad wasn’t as clueless as he always seemed to act. Rate now, I was glad he wasn’t trying to hide the fact he had a brain. Looking over to where he and Shin had sat, I could see a feast waiting though with dad and I there, it was the size of a perfect meal for all of us.

“You’re the one who likes being the hero dad; I only fight to protect was can’t defend itself.” I said teasing him. It still made me a hero in the eyes of those who didn’t buy Hercules’s story about how he defeated Cell. I sat down looking over where I wanted to start. I paused; around Piccolo, he didn’t eat so I could start where ever but when we eat with the others, it was Vegeta who would start eating first. At the tournament, Vegeta waited for Dad to start digging in before he did. I guess it was a saiyan social order that we established and I couldn’t break that rate now.

“Go ahead Gohan, dig in, you the one who need the food.” I must have given dad a stunned look, cause his smile faded.

“You been dead way too long dad. Think back to the tournament when we all ate lunch together, the first one to dig in was you.”

“I get it now...saiyan’s a very social creatures within their own kind; even to go so far as to have a pack mentality where only the alpha could eat first...remarkable.” I nodded to Shin. He got it.

“Piccolo’s dominate... I don’t see what the problem is.”

“Away from you and Vegeta, I have no problem just eating however, Vegeta is still our prince and you’re the one he loves.”

“But you’re stronger then both of us...”I sighed. This was getting nowhere fast.

“Dad just sit down and eat, we don’t have the time for you to understand what I’m trying to get at here.” I said shortly. I’m guessing that the closer I got to the end of the pregnancy the less I would care about the social order but then, I had a reason why I would break it rate now, it wasn’t an excuse. Once dad started to eat, I dug in, enjoying the meal.

‘Vegeta says it’s possible but it puts more risk to your life if you are pregnant with twins.’ He sounded worried and nervous about it. I felt his fear about losing me, he never lost it. I guess it was a close call when he found me after the events that led up to Chichi’s death.

‘Everything will work out fine my koi. Once I finish eating, I’ll be heading back to Earth. Met me there?’ I knew I shouldn’t brush it off so lightly but his fears about losing me while giving birth to our child would only count if we could get rid of Buu.

‘Like I would miss seeing you in action after training with the Gods’ He sounded cocky. It was his pride showing through. I smiled, he rarely showed it but he really was proud of our union, that and he got a claim to fame in Hell with being the first and only king to claim a pure soul from heaven. I snickered at the thought.

“You ready to do this Gohan.” Dad asked watching me with the same look he gave me before he sent me him to fight Cell. I nodded to him.

“Yeah though I rather not wear this outfit into combat, I was thinking something like yours dad.” In a flash, my outfit had changed.

“On the front are the two symbols that are on your father’s outfit. On the back is both Piccolo’s symbol and my symbol Gohan.” I smiled as I tried to see the back of it. Dad laughed.

“You can see it later, if it gets ruined in combat, Shin will send you another, ok?” I nodded.

“Thanks for the training Shin, Elder Kai” I said with a bow before teleporting back to Earth, ready for my fight against Buu.
