Old New Different View.

'Is getting dark.' Goku thought as he looked the window how the sky was changing its color, how the Sun slowly hid as the moon rose. He let out a sad sigh, it's been hours since he saw his younger son, and now that both of his kids are hiding their ki, the father's concern increased. In his mind, all he could hear was the words that Goten shot at him and his wife earlier. Each word echoing inside his head. He felt the guilt consuming him, 'I'm really that bad of a father?' Before he could drown deeper on his thoughts, he heard steps coming from the stairs

"Chi Chi, how are you feeling?" Goku said,while rushing to aid his wife, she was using the wall for support, when she was climbing down the stairs. Her other hand on her forehead, but that didn't help to get rid of the dizziness.

"Just a little dizzy." The housewife took the hand that the Saiyan offered. "Where's Goten?"

When Chi Chi reached to the first floor, Goku wrap his free arm around her tiny waist, and guide her to the sofa. He waited for her to be in a comfortable position, before delivering the news.

"He's not back yet," he wanted to make a pause to let her process the information given, but he quickly changed his mind when saw his wife's concern face, "Gohan is with him, I'm sure he will bring him back, he's smart." He smiled widely, showing all of his teeth to assure her that everything would be alright.

However, Chi Chi could tell that, that was a fake smile. She played along, he did get most of the harsh words from the pre-teen. "Yes, he is." She smiled faintly, but soon enough, her sadness showed on her face. Letting a sigh, she said. "How could I be so blind, and oblivious of his feelings? My poor baby is suffering and is all my fault."

"Come on Chi Chi, don't beat up yourself like that. There was no way we could know how he felt."

"As a mother, I should know there was something bothering him." her tears started to flow down. "I'm a bad mother."

Goku robbed her back with his large and warm hands to comfort her, "Now, that is nonsense, you are a wonderful mother. You did an excellent job with the kids, they're extraordinary people." That seemed to relax her. She rested her head on his shoulder.

The couple stood quiet for a long time, both of them embracing each other, then Goku spoke, "I can feel their ki, they're going to be here in a few minutes." Chi Chi's heart started to beat faster.

Gohan and Goten descended in front of the doom shape house. The older brother reached out for the door's knob, and before turning open he said to the younger, who send nervous vibes all over the place. "Don't worry, everything is going to be alright. I'll be there the whole time." Goten nodded, Gohan opened the door, and went inside. Goten breathed in and out a couple of times before following his brother.

Goku and Chichi stared at the two boys that were at the door, no daring to say a word. Goten followed the same fashion, but his eyes were fixed on the floor, the shame of how he acted earlier, didn't allowe him to look at his parents. Gohan looked at his parents and then at his brother. He did this back and forth for about a minute, if he didn't break the ice, no one would.

The older semi-Saiyan, pushed the younger one by the shoulder towards the couple that was sitting in the sofa holding hands. "I think someone wants to say something, right Goten?"

Goten nodded and bowed before his parents, "I'm really truly sorry for hurting you mom, I swear I didn't meant to, and I'm so sorry for all the things I said to dad, and, and the way I behaved the last week. Please, don't hate me." Tears escaped from his closed eyes.

The pre-teen felt his father approaching, this made him tembler. Goten never really acted this way before, nor his brother, so he did not know what kind of punishment was stored for him, even though he didn't really think that his father could discipline him like Vegeta would, but, he was still neuverse for the well deserved spank he could get.

In a firm, yet kind and warm voice Goku called out his son, "Goten, stand up straight." The kid didn't do as he was told, he was too afraid to confront the consequences, and not knowing the meaning of that tone didn't help. Goku sighed deeply, grabbed him by the shoulders, and forced the young boy to straight up. "Now, I want you to open your eyes and looked at me." Now his voice was kinder than before. Goten gather courage and piped with his right eye. The father smiled at the innocent expansion, he missed that face, he missed those eyes full of purity, he missed his son. "There's no way, place or time that we'll hate you, we'll always love you no matter what."

At the end of Goku's loving and caring words, Goten's eyes opened in a surprised manner, the first thing he was was his father's trademark smile, then turn his head to his mother, who was drying her tear with a smile and nodded agreeing with her husband. "I don't understand. Why would you say those things, when I deserve the opposite?"

"Because we love you." Chi Chi said.

"Is just me or is kind of chilly? I'll make some tea to warm me up." Gohan said to excuse himself, to leave the three alone to talk. He ignored Goten's glare that said, 'Lair, you told me you would be here the whole time.' and went to the kitchen to put the kettle full of water to boil on the stove, at minimum.

Goku lead Goten to the sofa and made him sit between him and Chi chi, he was still unable to speak, he didn't understand why they would say that they love him, after all he did. He was expecting a yelling or a beating, but he got love.

"Goten, we are still a little confuse about today. We want to understand your feelings, and what exactly made you behave like that." Goku said, Chi chi let him take over this matter, her state of mind was still fragile. The demi-Saiyan golped, he remembered his big brother advise to let people how he feels, but it was harder than his brother made it look like. "I'm not scolding you," the father said, thinking that maybe the boy was still scared, "We want to know, so we can prevent something like today to happen again."

"I know." Goten replied, without hesitation.

"Good, so would you tell us, please?"

Goten nodded, breathed in and out deeply a few times, his parents' eyes fixed on him, waiting patiently to hear his story. With a last air exaltation he started to let out his feelings.

"On my birthday all the adults said that I look just like you, dad. And that made me realize that they do it all the time, since I was a kid. I know I look just like you, and our personalities are very similar. But still bothers me a lot when people compare me to you, even mom does it. I mean, is not that is something wrong being just like you, is just I want people to see me as Goten, not as Goku's clone, or Chi Chi's son and Gohan's brother, you know? Is been like that since I can remember, people don't usually call me by my name. I'm just someone else something."

He made a small pause, letting his mother and father to process the information given. Chi chi gulped hard the cry that wanted to escape, and nodded as a sign that he could keep talking.

"So, I thought that, if I act the exact opposite of dad, I would be treated like an individual."

"Goten, you should had tell us how you felt, why haven't you?"

"Because, it's seemed unimportant. I didn't want to bother anyone with silly things. Plus, asking people to not compare to dad, would be useless, the fact that I look just like him wouldn't change, they would still think it. I wanted people to see me different."

"Son, there's no silly things," Chi chi word's make him feel a deja vu moment, "It doesn't bother at all when you want to come to us and express your feelings. It bothers us not knowing that you were suffering, it hurts us."

"Holding up your emotion, caused more troubles. If you came to us, we could solve this as a family." Goku said, he patted the young on the back.

"Well, now I know that was a very bad idea, and I should tell you guys, Gohan helped me to realize that, and that I could do other things to change, that would be so problematic." Goten, looked up and touched his hair, that wasn't spiky like his dad.

"Oh, I didn't realize. Your hair look completely different." Said the housewife surprised, as she made a weird face, she didn't dislike it nor love it, it was just strange to look for him, it made him look more mature, and what mother likes her child to grow up?

Goten made a sad face, he thought that his mother didn't like it, Goku saw this, "Well, I think you look really good, it suits you very well. Don't you think Chi Chi?"

Chichi showed her son a big and sincere smile, "Yes it does." Goten smiled back. "Goten, I want to apologize for causing so much suffering. I'm really sorry." Chi chi apologized with watery eyes

"What are talking about, mom? I'm the one that made you suffer and hurt you, I even said those things to dad."

"No honey, I was not aware that you saw me cry to sleep at night, I didn't mean to look at you with sad expression, If I was sad, was not because you looked like your dad, but because your dad couldn't meet this wonderful gift he left me. I did not mean to compare you to your father, maybe, in my ignorance, I thought that you would be proud to know that you resemble to him. I'm terrible sorry Goten. I'll not do that again, I promise." She hugged the young boy tight and let her tears run as they please, he hugged back, he felt like crying, but for some reason he didn't let himself to do so.

"Is ok mom, you don't really have to apologize, but if makes you feel better for me to say it..." she nodded. "I accept your apologies."

Gohan re-entered to the living room with a tray carrying three tea cups, sugar and milk, he places the tray on the coffee table and sat on the sofa across where the trio was.

"I also want to apologize to, to both of you." Goku said looking to Gohan and then to Goten, with a sad expression. The two sibling wore a confused face, "I'm sorry for not being a good father for neither of you."

"What do you mean, dad? You..." Gohan was cut off by Goku.

"Gohan, there's no point telling me otherwise. I've missed a lot of you, I wasn't there when Goten was born, I wasn't there to see you become the wonderful man that you are. I didn't mean to make you guys suffer like you did. I really thought that if I stay dead, I would not attract evil people."

"Dad we understand your reasons. We missed you a lot, but we never thought you as a bad father for that, you did what you thought was the right thing."

"Gohan's right, that was in the past, now you're here, with us." Goten explain, he never saw his dad this sad before, and the guilt climbed up again, he felt like that because he was the one who told him that was a bad father.

"Yes, I'm here," the full blooded Saiyan said with a faint smile, that soon enough banish, "But, I'm still no good, I'm not educated, and I do not have a job."

"I didn't go to school either, Goku, and that doesn't make me a bad mother. You told me I was great one, so don't you dare to say otherwise." Chi Chi said with a smile, it was her turn to comfort him.

"But what Goten said..."

Goten started to cry, and hugged his dad, "Dad, I'm so sorry for saying those things, I didn't mean what I said, I was stupid, and immature, I was so mad at that moment that made me say thing that I don't mean. I love you the way you are, I don't care if you went to school or not, or if you don't work. Without a job, you still support us, you hunt and fish the biggest fish out there, and collect the yummiest fruits and, and you also grow the radishes that the neighbors buy, and, and..." Goten couldn't talk anymore because of the crying.

Goku, who was hugging him the whole time, rubbed his head gently, "Don't cry anymore," the pre-teen looked up and saw his father with his well known happy smile, "I get it, thank you Goten, that means a lot to me."

The whole family was wrapped in an emotional coat, happiness, forgiveness and love. The smiling faces and the laughter of joy were the rightful evince that this family was ready to move on and go back to normal.

This beautiful atmosphere, was ruined by the growling sound that came from Goku's stomach. Goku rubbed the back of his head with his right hand with his left, he tried to shush his stomach. "He, He, sorry guys, I was so worried that I didn't eat a single bite since lunch." Goten and Gohan blushed as soon as their stomachs cried for food. They haven't eaten anything that day, Goten because of his rebellious. Gohan, because he was so lost in his studies, with Videl visiting her dad, there no one to tell him to get away from the books

Chi chi shot her proud housewife/mother smirk, and said "Well, there's no time to lose, now that we are back to be the happy family that we meant to be, I'll prepare a feast to celebrate."

The three Saiyan cheer at the mention of food.

A few weeks passed, things were coming back as they were. More or less. Chi Chi made sure to not compare Goten with Goku, and without her son knowing, let their friends do so too. Goku worked harder on the grown of radishes. He even tried to read one of Gohan's complicated books, but that didn't last that long. Gohan kept his old/new 'just marry and new dad' life with his family. As for Goten, he caught up with school work, and only played video games after he was done with his chores. He started to wear less of his traditionally Chinese style clothing and more of the trend that teens wore those days.

The major change on Goten was, his 'new' friends, calling him almost every day. One day, when Goten hung up the phone, after a long hour. He was about to leave the house when his mom caught him. "Are you going to Trunks?"

He rubbed the back of his head and smile awkwardly, "No, I'm going to the South City Mall, someone is waiting for me there."

"Oh, who?" the mother asked, since when her son hung out with someone besides her best friend' son?

"Hanno." He replied, and opened the door, hoping that his mother questioning stopped right there, but just in case he stood with a foot outside, ready to flee.

"Who's Hanno?"

The pre-teen gulped hard and he quickly said " My girlfriend." And fast as the speed of light, Goten was gone. Leaving the housewife and mother crying out how her innocent son was trapped in the reds of a city girl.

So, everything was pretty back to normal, rebeluise Goten was gone, but he was replaced by casanova Goten, which caused a lot of different troubles around the house, but that is another story...

The End.
