“Goten,” murmured Chichi as she gently roused her small son, “Wake up, Sweetheart.  Mommy has something important to tell you.”

The small half-saiyan opened his eyes slightly.  “’Kaasan,” he said with a yawn, “I know why you went to the doctor.”

Chichi paled.  “Honey, how did you know?  I told Gohan not to worry you!”

“Mama, I wanted him to tell me,” replied Goten, “I know I’m little, but I don’t want to be left out of anything even if it’s really bad.  Please don’t be mad at Gohan, Mama.”

“I’m not angry,” said Chichi as she hugged her son, “I’ve just been so scared these past several days.  I love you, Goten, and I didn’t want to hurt you.  I’ll try not to hide these things from you in the future, allright?”

With a nod, Goten hugged his mother back.  “Are you sick then, Mama?” he asked.

Tears welled up in Chichi’s eyes.  She pulled Goten closer to her and whispered, “No, I’m going to be allright.  I don’t have cancer.”

“I knew it!” the chibi beamed, “Oh ‘Kaasan, I’m glad you’re going to be okay.”  He lay his head on his mother’s chest, as he did when he was a toddler.  “I love you, Mama,” he added.

“I love you too, Goten,” Chichi replied in a whisper as she rocked her littlest son.  He was her little angel and one of the dearest gifts her husband had given her, as was Gohan.  She loved both of her sons and her husband.  She held Goten in her arms until he fell back to sleep, this time with a smile on his face.  Chichi tucked him back under his blankets and kissed his cheek.  “Goodnight, my little Goten-Chan,” she softly called as she closed his door behind her.  She then made her way to her bedroom. 

Goku was there asleep on their bed.  He had a smile on his face, identical to Goten’s.  He stirred and opened his eyes as Chichi closed the door behind her.  “Chichi,” he whispered.

Chichi lay down beside the saiya-jin and threw her arms around his muscular neck.  “My poor sweet Goku-Sa,” she said and kissed his forehead.  “I’m so sorry I worried you.  I’m also glad that everything is going to be allright.”

“Me too,” answered Goku with a smile.  He snuggled up next to his wife and rested his nose against her ebony hair. His nostrils were filled with her sweet scent. 

The earth woman smiled back as she gently stroked her husband’s own soft black locks.  She followed with a kiss on his gentle lips.

The saiya-jin couldn’t help but purr.  He blushed and whispered, “Um…Chichi…You know what rubbing my hair does to me…don’t you?” 

“Of course I do, Goku-Sa,” laughed Chichi.  She kissed him a second time and went back to petting his ebony hair.

Goku gave in with a happy sigh and started to nibble at his wife’s neck.

The End
