"YOU have summoned me from my slumber. State your wish." Shenron's voice boomed. The eternal dragon loomed over the Z-Fighters as they stood at the Lookout. The battle with Cell had just ended and after Dende had healed everyone, Krillin took the dragon balls and summoned Shenron to make their wishes.
"We wish for everyone to be killed by Cell to return back to life." Krillin said as he looked up at the huge dragon above him.
"Your wish will be granted. Everyone killed by Cell will come to back to life." The dragon answered as its eyes glowed red.
Goku's heart filled with hope and anticipation. Soon, he would see Chichi and Gohan once more and get to live with them in peace. His second son would be born and he will have the chance to take care of the baby along with his wife.
Goku saw the once lifeless Trunks standing from the Lookout floor. His brows furrowed in thought. Chichi and Gohan should have been alive by now, but they are nowhere to be found.
"Where is my wife and son? They have been resurrected as well, right?" Goku asked Shenron.
"Your wife cannot be resurrected, Son Goku. She was not killed by Cell, she died of a natural cause, therefore I cannot do anything to bring her back." The dragon answered him.
"What?!" Goku asked in disbelief. All the hope he felt earlier had now been gone. "What do you mean she died of a natural cause? She was killed by Cell!" He said in a loud voice.
"Your wife was still alive when you found her. Cell left her to die, he did not kill her instantly. But it is not the same with your son. He was killed by Cell, so he can be brought back to life." Shenron explained to him.
"Then why isn't Gohan here?" Goku asked once more.
"Your son has declined to be resurrected like the others, that is why he is not here."
As soon as Goku heard those words, he felt as if someone had just poured ice cold water down his back. A lump got caught in his throat and his chest constricted. He suddenly found it hard to breathe, and he collapsed on his knees, making the others fear of the next thing that could possibly happen to him.
"Gohan... Refused to be resurrected? Why?" He asked no one in particular as tears started forming in his eyes. He stared at the floor, still in total disbelief with regards to what he heard a while ago.
Krillin approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder. His best friend tried to get him to stand back up. "Goku... It's allright. We can use the second wish to resurrect Gohan.."
"There's no need, Krillin. Don't bother anymore." A voice from nowhere suddenly said, startling everyone.
Goku's eyes widened as he looked up at the skies. "G-Gohan? Is that you, son?" He asked.
"Yes Dad, it's me. Me and Mom are in King Kai's planet and he's letting me talk to all of you right now." The voice, who is none other than Gohan answered.
Goku became teary eyed when he heard his son speak. He wasted no time asking Gohan the question that had been running through his mind eversince Shenron had revealed that Gohan could not be resurrected like the others.
"Gohan? Why did you refuse to be resurrected? I don't get it. Don't you want to come back to Earth so you can be with me? Tell me, son. Don't you love me anymore?" He asked, his voice breaking as he spoke.
"Dad, it's not like that. Of course I love you, Mom and I, we both do. But I figured that if I let myself be brought back to life, I would leave Mom alone here. Mom can't be wished back, right? I don't want to leave her all by herself here. It's not a matter of whom I love more between the two of you, Dad. You are both important to me. But as we watched you fight Cell, the strength you have shown, the courage you possessed, I realized that between the two of you, Mom needs me more than you do. You can carry on and live your life even without us, you just need some time so you can finally move on." Gohan replied.
When he heard his son's words, Goku collapsed on his knees once more as tears flowed freely from his eyes and down his face. At that moment, he didn't care anymore if the others saw him crying or acting weak.
"No.. That's not true. I love you both and you are my only reason for living. W-Without you, I'm nothing..." He said in a broken voice as he cried.
"Goku, sweetheart. Please don't cry, for it pains us to see you crying like that. It's so un-you.." A woman's voice said out of nowhere.
"C-Chichi? Chichi, I have beaten Cell. I have beaten Cell just like what I promised you." Goku said, tears still falling down his face. The others watched Goku with a look of concern and pity for the man.
"Yes, we saw how you fought that monster until you barely have any strength left. And we are proud of you, Goku. Me and Gohan are very proud of you. But I also want to apologize, Goku, because even if I wanted to, I can no longer be with you. I know that I cannot be brought back to life because I wasn't really killed by Cell himself. Only Gohan can come back to Earth, but I am also aware that he declined to be resurrected as well." Chichi said.
"C-Chichi... I'll do anything, I'll give up everything I have if I have to, my strength, my power... Everything. I won't stop until I find a way to bring both of you back to me. I love you, Chichi. I love you and Gohan so much.. You are my life, and you are the most important people in this world for me.. I'll find a way to have you back... I promise.." Goku said as his tears increased. At that moment, all the Z-Fighters felt pity for him, even Vegeta. Goku sounded so broken and so desperate, and they are not used to seeing or hearing him act or speak like that. They all looked up to him, for they had been used to the fact that he was always the strong one, and he was their source of strength as well.
But right now, things are totally different.
The once strong man now lay on his knees, crying like a desperate child who looked totally helpless as the world crumbled upon him.
"Goku, you need not worry about that anymore. Me and Gohan will be happy here, knowing that you have already beaten Cell and the Earth is at peace once more. It's already enough for us." Chichi's voice replied.
"I don't understand. Don't you want to be with me anymore? Am I not that important to you anymore? You know I can't live without you, Chichi. You and our son mean the whole world... No, everything to me.." Goku said in a pleading voice, hoping that Chichi or Gohan would reconsider and come back to him.
"Goku, we are thankful and grateful for your love. Of course, we love you very much. But as Gohan have said earlier, you are strong. Even without us, you can continue living your life. You can move on. And we will always watch over you from up here." Chichi said once more.
"How can you say that? It's only been days since you were gone and I miss you both already. How can you possibly think that I could carry on with my life without the two of you by my side? You're asking me to live the rest of my life without you, do you know how hard is that for me?" Goku asked in a pained voice as his tears fell and dripped on the Lookout floor. He clenched his fists so tightly that they drew blood.
"I can't do that, Chichi. I can't do that. I need you and Gohan in my life. I want you back and I need you here with me. So please... Please let me find some ways to wish you both back..." Goku pleaded, his words dissolving in a torrent of tears.
"Goku, we both know that there is nothing that can be done to bring me back. With Gohan, it's possible, but your son had already decided. And I am in no position to interfere with that anymore. I have also tried to convince him to reconsider, but Gohan was firm. Afterall, you have shown to us how brave you are, how strong you are when you defeated Cell despite the little amount of power you have left. When we saw that, we instantly know that you are strong, and you will be able to carry on even without us." Chichi answered him.
Goku didn't say anything, he just continued to cry. He knew there is nothing he could do to make Chichi or Gohan reconsider about their decision of staying in Otherworld for good. And it pained him to no end to think that he would be living the rest of his life without them by his side anymore. He wouldn't see Gohan grow and have a family of his own, and he wouldn't be able to have that chance to raise his second son and take care of him anymore. He would never be able to hold Chichi in his arms or make love to her anymore when the nights grew cold. He would have to live through it all by himself for the rest of his life, for it would be a long, long time before he would die.
"Goku, I want you to know that I love you very much and I am not sorry that I married you. You will forever remain in my heart, and I will always treasure the moments that we spent together. I am thankful to you for giving me Gohan. But if you will find yourself falling in love with another woman in the future, then go for it. You are still too young to be living your life alone, you need someone else to stay with you and take care of you. It's sad that that someone else won't be me anymore, but I want you to know that I am giving you my blessing in case you choose to remarry in the future and have another family of your own." Chichi said to him as her parting words.
"Dad, we hate to see you like that. We are thankful that you have finally beaten Cell and put an end to his reign of terror and that's already enough for us. Mom and I will always be watching over you and we will look forward to the day when you have finally moved on from this. We love you Daddy. Till we meet again and goodbye." Those were Gohan's final words to him.
"G-Goodbye, Chichi. Goodbye, Gohan... I love you both... Very much..." Goku answered them in an anguished voice.
"CHICHI... Gohan..." Goku said as his tears once again flowed down his face. He buried his face in his knees and wept profusely.
It was a cold and starry night, and he decided to go out and get some fresh air because he could not sleep. However, as he sat on the grass outside his house, he couldn't help but remember what had happened on the day when he had finally beaten Cell seven years ago. He tried to resurrect his wife and his son but they both declined to be brought back to life, saying that they had finally made a decision to stay in Otherworld. Until now, he still could not understand why they made such a decision which pained him to no end.
"I miss you both so much... If you only knew how much pain your deaths have inflicted on me..."
BACK inside the house, Ami was awakened by the soft sobbing sounds she heard. She thought of Goku and she immediately left her room to go and check him out. He had just been cured of his fever last night and throughout the day, she had told him to stay in bed, with her taking care of him and monitoring his condition and attending to his needs. Thankfully, his fever didn't reccur anymore, and when she left him a few hours ago, she tucked him in bed and told him to go and get some sleep so he could rest more. She had already been asleep for almost three hours when she was suddenly awakened by soft crying sounds. She got worried. Maybe something had happened to him once more and he needs her.
"Goku?" She called out as she opened his bedroom door. To her surprise, he isn't there, and the bed is empty.
"Goku?" She called out to him once more as she searched the whole house. As she went down, the crying sound became louder until she determined that it is coming from outside the house.
"Goku?" Ami called out to him as she approached Goku who had his face buried in his knees, his shoulders shaking. She placed a hand on his shoulder. "What's wrong?" She asked, full of concern for the man.
Goku looked up at Ami, tears still falling down his cheeks. "I.. I miss my family so much... I... I don't know how long I can keep up with this..." He whimpered in a broken voice.
The sound of his voice caused Ami's heart to melt. At that moment, all she wanted to do is to wrap her arms around him and comfort him until he stopped crying. The sight of Goku in tears is just too much to bear for her, and she gave in to her instincts and flung her arms around the crying Saiyan.
"Oh, Goku!" She exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around his trembling form. She allowed him to cry on her shoulders for a while as she whispered comforting words to him.
"It's all right... It's all right. I'm here, Goku. I'm here for you." She whispered as she rubbed his back softly.
"It hurts.. It hurts me so much, I don't know if I can still take it.." He cried.
"Goku, I know how you feel about your family's loss. Miss Bulma had informed me of what happened before she took me here. If you want, you can talk about it and I will listen." Ami said to him.
Much to her surprise, Goku held her on her shoulders as he shook his head, the tears from his eyes falling and dripping on the ground. "No.. There's something else that Bulma and the others do not know... They are all telling me to move on from it, for seven years have already passed since my family died.. But they're saying that because... Because there's something that they don't know.. It's not that easy for me to just move on.. It will never be easy for me.." He said to her.
Ami did not speak, she just waited for him to continue with his story.
"Two nights before the Cell Games, Chichi and I had a long talk. And that talk led to something more... Something happened.. And right after that, I knew at once that another child had been conceived. It's still too early to tell and she didn't know about it yet, but I felt it. I felt the life force of my supposed to be second child growing inside Chichi. I could not be mistaken, because I also felt that from her the night when Gohan had been conceived. But the next day... I just went out to fish and when I returned... I found my wife lying in a pool of her own blood, her body horribly mutilated. At that moment, I already knew that our second child will never have the chance to be born anymore. And.. And that's what pains me the most. The night before, I was excited at the thought of becoming a father once more, but all my hopes were shattered and crushed the next day. And.. Even if I had beaten Cell and killed him... It wasn't enough.. It wasn't enough, Ami. Because the eternal dragon told me that only Gohan could be resurrected, for Chichi died of natural causes. But then... Gohan declined to be wished back. I had the chance to talk to him and Chichi as we were making our wishes to Shenron, and I promised them that I would do everything I can to find a way to wish both of them back, but they told me not to bother doing that anymore. They told me that they have seen how strong I am as I fought Cell, and that gave them the idea that I would be able to go on with my life even without them. Right at that moment, I know that there's nothing I could do anymore, because a person can't be wished back if the spirit of that person declines to go back to his own body and live once again on Earth. Even if I try to wish them back over and over again, it won't work.. For Chichi and Gohan had already made up their mind to stay in Otherworld for good.." A sobbing sound came from him as Goku finished his story.
Ami was totally surprised to hear such words from him. Throughout her whole stay at his house, Goku never mentioned to her anything about what happened to his family. The things she learned from Bulma before they went here were the only information she knew. Until now.
"Do you know how painful it is to think that you could have been living a happy life with the people you love most, but then you would never have a chance to do so anymore? That's what I meant when I said that beating Cell wasn't enough. Because even though I had beaten him, what good does it do? It still doesn't change the fact that I will never be with Chichi and Gohan anymore, and I will never get to see our supposedly second child. I never told that to anyone else because they wouldn't understand me, only Vegeta will, since he's a Saiyan like me. It's easy for them to tell me to move on and continue living my life, because they know nothing of the immense pain that has been gnawing on my heart and my mind every single day." He continued as he wept.
"Goku, I am sorry to hear those things. I know how hard it is to have lost a loved one, especially if they are close to you, but maybe... Maybe everything happens for a certain reason. Maybe...-" Ami didn't get to finish her sentence as Goku cut her off.
"Oh, then what reason might that be? To give me more pain? To kill me slowly because of the pain? Tell me what! Because I find no reason for all of this to happen to me! Why me? I have saved the world, no, the whole universe even, many times. Don't I deserve to be happy with my life? A simple life with Chichi and Gohan is all I ever dreamed of, it's all I ever wanted, it's what motivates me to keep going on and fighting for the safety of the world, yet it was not granted to me. My family were still taken away from me, in a very painful way that anyone else could think of. Then here you are saying that everything happens for a reason. So I am asking you now, what could that reason possibly be?!" He asked in a pained voice. Ami almost flinched when she heard the way he spoke. It was full of bitterness and sorrow.
"Goku, you must not think of those things. Like I said, everything happens for a reason, and though that reason might be unknown to us now, time will come that everything will unfold, and we will have the answer to the question as to why something happened. And... You can't blame your friends, Goku, if they are telling you to move on. They only want the best for you, and I think that your wife and son would have wanted the same thing for you. Goku... It's been seven years. Maybe it's time to let go and move for-.."
Before Ami could even react, Goku had already pinned her on the nearby tree, his hands gripping her shoulders tightly.
"How could you say that?! Who are you to tell me to let go?! Just like that?! You want me to let go of my wife and my son just like that?! Do you know what you're asking me to do?! You want me to forget about the people I cared about and loved the most! Well, let me tell you this, you have no right to tell me what to do with my life, we're not even related, and you're just here to work. To earn a living! So whatever I do with my life is none of your concern anymore!" He snarled as his grip on her shoulders tightened, making Ami wince in pain.
"Yes! Whatever you do with your life concerns me! Because..." It was too late when Ami realized what she was about to say.
Goku looked at her angrily, his huge frame looming over her petite one and his fingers digging into her shoulders. "Because what, Ami?!"
"Goku... Please... Please let me go.. You're hurting me..." She pleaded as tears started to form in her eyes.
His grip became tighter, making her hiss in pain. She tried to free herself from his hold but it was useless. He was too strong for her.
"Because what?!" He asked, almost screaming at her.
"Because... B-Because I love you! Everything you do with your life concerns me because I love you! I care about you!" Ami shouted back at him as her tears fell down her cheeks.
Goku was taken aback by her sudden confession that he wasn't sure if he heard her right. "What? Say that again." He said to her.
"I... I love you. Eversince I saw your picture at Miss Bulma's office.. You have already gained a soft spot here in my heart. And.. And when I finally saw you in person and when I started living with you, I began to develop a certain fondness for you.. That's why... That's why... I was worried whenever you got sick... Or... Or whenever something happened to you. W-When I saw you crying a while ago, all I wanted to do was to hug you, and... And if possible, I wanted to take away your pain so you wouldn't suffer anymore... I don't want you to suffer Goku, I don't want to see you in pain because I love you... And it hurts me more to see you hurting..." Ami continued.
To her surprise, Goku chuckled dryly. Then he looked at her with a smirk.
"So now, you're telling me that you love me? You come out here to stop me from crying and then you tell me to move on, and now you're telling me that you love me? Wow!" He said to her, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Goku... I...-" Ami started to explain, but she was once again stopped when he placed a hand on her lips.
"Ssssh! I'm speaking, so don't you dare interrupt me! You came here, pretending to have concern for me, because you need a job right? So you accepted Bulma's offer when she asked you to become my private nurse, which I really do not need in the first place! Tell me, Ami, just how much did Bulma promise to pay you for you to go as far as to pretend that you love me and you do have feelings for me? Huh? How much will Bulma pay you for that?!" He asked as he now gripped her arm.
"Goku... I.. You're wrong... T-This is not part of my job anymore.. My feelings for you have no corresponding price... I r-really love you and... And...-" Ami's tears fell as she felt her heart slowly being shattered to pieces. It hurt her so much to know that Goku hadn't taken her seriously, and he even mocked her to the point that he undoubtedly insulted her by asking how much is she being paid for faking her feelings, which she isn't doing in the first place, for she really loved him, and she just realized it now.
Goku smirked at her, his eyes boring into hers. "Oh, so you really love me? Well then, prove it." And before she could answer or react, he claimed her lips in a rough and bruising kiss.
