Hello. My first DBZ fic. I just thought right, Goku thought marriage was food, so this is my interpretation of what could have happened when he learned Chi-Chi was pregnant with Gohan. Criticism is welcome =)
Enjoy
Chi-Chi sat on the edge of the bathtub, twiddling her fingers and wincing; the anticipation was unnerving. Her eyes were fixed upon the object on the sink. It was the longest 30 seconds of her life. Breathing slowly, she stood up and picked the white stick up, with her eyes closed. With the sound of the imaginary drum roll that was ringing in her mind, she opened her eyes. The plus sign was clear as day.
"Oh my God!" she gasped. Unable to contain herself, she smiled and started to well up. I'm going to be a mum! she exclaimed in her mind. She covered her mouth to stop herself from it crying it out loud, she didn't neighbours complaining again over her 'shrill, callous voice that even made their goldfish cover his ears". "Goldfish don't even have ears", was her only defence. Still, that was literally one of the last things she could think about. All she thought about was the coming nine months, she'll become a mother, be taking care of a child of her own with her beloved husband. A blank look suddenly appeared on her face and she paused, at the thought of her husband. Coincidentally enough, her husband, Goku, had returned from his morning meditation.
"I'm home!" he called form the front door. Chi- Chi jumped, and stared to panic insanely. She looked at the pregnancy test, and quickly shoved it into a nearby trashcan.
"Chi- Chi? Where are you?"
"I'm coming dear!" she called from the bathroom. She quickly dashed out of the bathroom, making quick glances back at the trashcan nervously.
"Bah!"
In one of these glances, she hadn't noticed she was about to bump into her husband who had been walking through the corridor looking for her. She found herself accidentally colliding into him, and being set aback when she saw him. She gasped, and tried to say something, but stuttered instead. Goku raised his eyebrows.
"Uh, are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine, just-I'm fine," Chi- Chi, nodding her head a little unconvincingly as Goku blinked. A sudden inspiration came to her.
"Hey! I need to make you breakfast!"
Food. One of his greatest love and a great topic shifter. It worked, as his eyes lit up and all suspicions were erased.
"Alright then!"
"Good, I'll get to it then." She uneasily traipsed away towards the kitchen. She leaned on the counter, and took a deep sigh of relief, and then giggled excitedly.

Goku sat in the living room, laughing at something stupid on the television. Chi- Chi watched him from the door. It seemed difficult, to tell Goku that she was pregnant. Did he even know what it meant? After all, he thought marriage was food. She shook her head and decided it was crunch time, time to deliver the news. She defiantly walked towards the couch and sat by Goku. She took the remote and switched the television off. Goku gaped and then turned to Chi- Chi, looking as if he hadn't realized she was there.
"Oh, hey."
"Hi. Goku, there's something we need to talk about."
"Okay, what?"
Chi- Chi groaned a little. An opportunity had arrived but the validity was non- exisant. She hoped and hoped that he did understand what pregnancy was.
"Goku… we are going to have… a baby," she casually said. She tilted her head, and smiled warmly at him. To her dismay, he drew a blank. But then, he smiled too.
"Cool!"
Chi- Chi beamed happily.
"Really? You're fine with this?"
"Totally, it would be awesome, having a kid around here. So, when does it get here?"
"Huh? Well, nine months I guess."
"What! It takes that long?"
"Well it needs to grow you know."
"That long? Where's it growing anyway?"
A bead of seat ran down Chi- Chi's temple.
"In my womb. Goku do you know where babies come from?"
Goku bit his lip and his eyes moved around as if he were calculating something. In reality, he didn't know. Chi- Chi brought her hands to her face then gently squeezed Goku's shoulder.
"Don't worry. Come on, lets go to the library. Maybe they'll have some facts of life books or something."
A confused Goku nodded and they both stood up and headed towards the door. Chi- Chi rolled her eyes. A grown man reading a facts of life book, should be awkward at all, she thought. She chuckled and then lay her head on Goku's shoulder.
"This isn't getting off to a good start, but I'm really happy."
