Love,

Chi Chi sighed as she fold the letter up and put it in the envelope. She walked outside where she hoped to see the messenger. “Okay, I’m done.” Chi Chi said to the man standing there.
Fin?
How are things going in the Next Dimention? Do you miss me like I miss you? I missed you terribly. Gohan is feeling guilty about you dying. Bulma and the others also missed you very much even Vegita. Even thought, I think he just wants to take you to the Next Dimention himself.
I don't know if you know yet but I'm having a baby. Yes, a baby. I didn't really thought I can have another one when you died. I guess it's like a final gift from you to me. I remember back when we had Gohan, you were so excited and happy about it. Even though, you did scream when you saw the needle. I wish you can be here with me when I deliver this baby.
It's my fault that you died. I know Gohan blamed himself but it's my fault overall. I shouldn't try to be so persistent in Gohan not learning martial arts. Ever since you died, I kept on wondering what if I recognized Gohan's power before. What if I helped you train him instead of ramming his head into the books? How much stronger would he have become? Would you have lived through the Cell Games?
I realized now, if Piccolo haven't taken Gohan away and train him, you and the world would've died at the hands of Vegita. I never thought I owe that monster that much. Every time I think back, I realize how powerful Gohan is and how powerful he could've been. Why didn't I see it before you died? Why didn't I have the same faith in my own son's abilities like you did? I'm his mother, I should've seen how strong he is.
I know that when you told me about the androids coming and Gohan's role, I didn't want him to train and fight only to die when he's still a little boy. I said that the safety of the world doesn't matter as much as Gohan's studies. But now, I wish I haven't said those words. I don't care about the world as long as Gohan and you are safe. I don't want to loose my baby. That's why I had Gohan study.
They say that parents often learn about parenting from raising their first child. That's true with us. I learned that the world is constantly in danger and unless we know how to defend ourselves, we don't stand a chance. So, this baby will be different. I will help him learn his Saiyan side. I will help him learn how to fight and defend himself like you would've. I will still have him study but maybe not as much as Gohan. I will not lose any more of my friends and family due to my stubbornness.
I will not fail this time.
“About time.” Piccolo said as he came out of the shadows. “How’s the kid?”
Chi Chi replied as she patted her stomach, “He’s going along fine. He has such a healthy appitite.” She could still remember the time when she wouldn’t trust him with her life let alone a message to her dear departed husband. “Thank you for going up to see Goku.” “Hey, being the former Kami and the Demon King has it’s perks.” Piccolo said as he smiled.
“Here’s the letter.” Chi Chi said as she gave him the envelope and then a small capsule. “And here’s a little something for Goku to eat.. He just have to warm it up.” Piccolo looked at her in almost disbelief. “Your husband is dead. You think he’s going to eat?”
“I know Goku, he’ll be hungry with or without a body.” Chi Chi said matter of factly. “Oh,” She took out a basket and said, “Here’s a little something for you.”
“Umm... I only drink water.” Piccolo muttered as he looked at the basket.
“I know Namekians don’t usually eat, but I’ve seen you eat when you were training for those... andriods. You were the only one who eats as much as me.” “I was only doing it for Gohan.” Piccolo grumbled as he accepted the package, “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.” Chi Chi said, “Oh, thanks for training Gohan for me.” Piccolo looked at the woman with bulged eyes. “I didn’t know you are greatful for that.” “Gohan did save the world thanks to you and Goku.” Chi Chi said as she patted her stomach, “I was wrong to force Gohan not to fight. I won’t make that mistake again.”
“Good. I’m sure Gohan’s little brother or sister will be as powerful as him maybe even more so since Goku’s more powerful when you and he.... I’m not sure if I can train the baby like I did with Gohan. I have to train Dende too.” “I know. I’m going to train the baby when he’s old enough.” Chi Chi said as she stared up in the sky, “I am still a warrior and I can fight. I... ah... kept on doing some light training after Namek.” Piccolo smirked. “So, it’s ‘do as I say not as I do?’ Heh. I figured that you must have done some training yourself with the way you kept on hitting Goku and me with that frying pan.”
“I wanted Gohan to have a future.” “He will. You know that.” Piccolo said as he hovered up, “I better go and deliver this.”
Chi Chi craned her head up and cried out, “Tell him that I love him and to write back!” “He will.” Piccolo said as he flew off to meet his friend.
