'God this is stupid' Felicity thought violently, "Are you stupid? You can't just go knocking at VEJITA'S DOOR" she cursed herself as she began pacing slightly as she looked towards the house. "What are you suppose to say? I am not DONE YET. God. .his son. .. purple hair?" she muttered slightly amused by the second half. Shaking her head trying to concentrate she nervously twirled a strand around her finger, she knew instinctively that before she would have gone straight to the door raising hell and brimstone. "You are having issues?" Felicity told herself in disgust as she turned to walk away. "WAIT" a voice called behind her. Stopping dead in her tracks Felicity's heart bottomed out.
"Chichi will you please just tell me whats going on?!?!" Goku said his eyes narrowing by the tone of her voice. "Goku. . .these last few months. . .they have been hell on me. . .You take Goten off to train. . .and. .. "she said her voice trailing off again as her eyes took on a far away look. "Chichi is this whats all this is about? Me taking Goten to train?" Goku asked gently trying to figure out what was so wrong. "No. . .YES. . .Well some of it anyways" she said waving her hand towards him in frusturation as she walked towards their bed and flopped down on it. Rubbing her face trying to clear her thoughts, "You are always gone. . .saving the world Goku. . .training the kids. WE HAVEN'T HAD A MARRIAGE. YOU DONT KNOW ME. I don't know you. .. "She admitted gently her eyes watering again, 'be strong Chichi' she told herself. "Oh don't be sillie" He began but she silenced him with a forlorn look, "you KNOW I am right" she said nodding. "I KNOW you Chichi!" Goku protested as he walked up to her and knelt before her, taking her hands in his. "NO YOU DON'T. . .or else you would have known by now" she said turning her eyes away. "KNOW WHAT? Please stop being cryptic. .. Gohan first and now you" he said slightly frusturated. "Gohan was here?" she asked as she stood up and began pacing the room. "Yea. . .but he had to leave. .. what is going on?" Goku said taking her by the shoulders. Lowering her eyes she slowly turned to face him, "Goku. .. I lost a twins. I was pregnant. And I miscarried"
Turning slowly to see Vejita's son, Trunks, strolling purposefully towards her Felicity felt her stomach bottom out, this was not a conforontation she wanted to engage in at the moment. "Wait a minute" he called again as she quickly turned around and moved to leave but found herself running into his broad chest. "OUCH. You shouldn't jump out in front of people like that you know" she said as she looked up at him, her eyes narrowed. Staring at her closely Trunks said nothing. "You are blocking my path" she said taking in a sharp breath trying to keep a look of annoyance. Raising a single eyebrow he stared at her, "Why are you here?" "For a stupid reason. Why do you think I am leaving?" she said in annoyance as she went to walk around him but he stopped her again by quickly manuvering his body between her and the road. "For the sake of Kame will you move?" she muttered exasperated. "I know. . .I know your story" Trunks said solemnly.
Grinding her teeth together Bulma flopped down on Felicitys oversized recliner. After minutes of yelling and banging Bulma decided to let herself in. Blushing at the thought Bulma looked around to see the damage she did to Felicity's apartment. "Oh well I am sure the brat can clean it up. . ." she thought as she got up and headed out the door.
Bulma strolled purposely through the building towards the gravity room. It was the last place she knew where to look for him. Rubbing her hands together in slight nervousness she took in a shaky breath, "He loves you and you KNOW this. What happened between him and Felicity dosen't mean a THING" she told herself aloud but thought silently, 'then why didnt he tell you? and why are you nervous?' Pausing before taking the last corner to the entrance Bulma involuntary checked her image mentally as she ran a finger down her hair to smooth it down. "Everything is fine" she said once more.
"You know?" Felicity looked at him blankly as the afternoon wind began to pick up and toss each curl around her face as her violet eyes darkend in the darkening sky. His own blue eyes carefully noticing the curve of her cheek and slight of her lips he glanced downwards slightly ashamed of himself as his own lavender hair was being played with by the wind. "I am going." Felicity said in outright irritance. .. but more towards herself than him. "No wait" he called again as he this time grabbed her forearm. Shocked at the sudden intimacy of his touch Felicity turned to face him her eyes ablaze, "i have to go" she said sternly. "You can't just leave" he protested. "You make no sense!" she threw at him and headed away again. "I KNOW ABOUT YOUR PAST. ABOUT YOUR REBIRTH. ABOUT THE LOVE AFFAIR WITH MY FATHER" he spat the words at her as they left an aftertaste in his mouth that was not desired.
"You. .. miscarried?" was all Goku could manage as he gently sat down where he stood and hung his head. "You lost my children?" he said as he couldn't look at her. "YOUR CHILDREN???" she raged at his comment that wasn't an accusation by any lengths but Chichi couldn't see it any other way. "Chichi I didn't mean it that way~" he began but she immeditately cut him off, "NO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE GOKU" she screamed at the top of her lungs as she began hurling things at him. Bottles of perfume, pillows, books, chairs. Anything she could get a hold of. "LEAVE" she commanded again. Tears in Goku's eyes, he just stared at her blankly as he deflected the flying things in turn they would bang against the wall.
"HEY WHATS GOING ON IN HERE?" Goten asked as he rushed to their doorway to barely dodge a flying book.
"MOM" he protested as he ranto his fathers side where Chichi was still blindly hurling things at Goku now Goten.
Tears streaming down her eyes Chichi finally collapsed to the floor in sobs as Goku stared at her for a moment, not sure what to do. "What is going on?" Goten demanded. "Your mother told me about the miscarriage. . ." Goku said quietly. "What miscarriage? what are you talking about?" Goten demanded. "When we were gone training those last few months your mother.. .was carrying twins. She miscarried." he said simply as Chichi's wails were deafning but Goku felt frozen in his place. "Oh mom" Goten said in deep sympathy as he raced to her side and took her rocking body into his lap. "Mom" he said in another effort to calm her, he knew that because of Goku's continuing absence in Chichi's life she sought comfort in her children. He couldn't imagine what losing twins had done to her.
