Okay, I was reading the various fics when I realize that I haven't seen one in which Chi Chi explains why she helped Goten learn martial arts while before she shunned them with Gohan. All characters belong to Funmation and used without their permission.

Dear Goku
By Maria Cline

Dear Goku,

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. 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 or her 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.

Love,
Chi Chi
