Prologue/Chapter 1:

The plane landed after what seemed like an eternity and she immediately felt all the nerves in her body stiffen. She hadn't been back to Japan in 5 years and now here she was, getting ready to face all of her demons. She glanced to the boy next to her who was sound asleep in his chair; she smiled and knew in her heart the reason for all of this was him.

Five years. I wonder how many things have changed, what everyone is doing, she thought to herself, thinking of her friends and family that she left behind. It made her sad when she thought of how she had treated her family and her friends. She had just gotten everyone back in her life when she left abruptly yet again.

The planes door opened and people started filing off; she reached next to her and shook her son until his eye lids opened, revealing his dark eyes underneath. He rubbed them, taking in his surroundings, watching the people around him get their carry ons from above. "We're here," he asked before yawning.

"Yes baby, we're here," she smiled watching as he fumbled around trying to unbuckle his seat belt.

"That was such a long flight Mom, please let's not do it again," he smirked, as Pans smile grew larger. That smirk was identical to his grandfathers and it made her smile every time he did it; just that little smirk made her remember all of her family back at home.

She turned her attention back to the aisle, standing and grabbing the two small suitcases from the storage above them. "Come on Chase, let's go," she instructed as he squeezed out in front of her, leading the way down the aisle out to the walkway into the airport. She kept her eyes on him, not letting him stray too far from her sight.

He had never trained a day in his life, he had no clue of his heritage; she never spoke to him about his father or the rest of his family. He had asked once; a day he had been snooping around their home and found an old photo album, but she got away with just telling him the bare minimum, nothing else. Even though he had met them all, he was so young that he had no remembrance of it; and now… now he was excited, he told all of his friends at his school that he was going to meet his family, that he might even get to meet his dad. That was the part that broke her heart. How could she explain to him that the reason behind all of this was her fault; that his own mother took the option of family away from him… she couldn't?

They made their way through the crowd and went to try and get their four bags from the carousel and somehow manage to get a cab to take them to her parent's house. She was still nervous about seeing her mother and father, she never came home when her mother went into labor; she had never met her younger sibling, who was only a year younger than her son, and she didn't think her mom would forgive her for that very easily.

She watched all of the different luggage go round and round, waiting to see her familiar ones; which never seemed to come. Finally, she smiled as she saw two of them coming their way. "Chase grab one when it comes by," she said eyeing them getting closer, as she went to grab the one she was in charge of it went right through her fingers; someone bumped her from behind.

"Got mine Mom," Chase smirked, placing the suitcase on the ground. Pan shook her head, "I would have had mine if I didn't get my arm knocked out," she laughed, sticking her tongue out at her son.

"Need some help there miss," she heard a deep voice boom from behind her? She turned around and came face to face with her father; her heart dropped, tears began to flow from her eyes, she wasn't expecting to see him. She didn't say a word, she jumped into his open arms, strangling him, her grip was so tight; Chase watched confused.

Gohan managed to pry his daughter off of his neck, smiling the biggest smile he had in a long time, just looking at her over and over again. "It's really you," he asked, pulling her in for another hug.

"Yes Dad, it's really me," she smiled, pulling away from him and wiping the tears from her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Gohan smirked, "I came to get you. There is no need for you to pay for a cab. Besides I have been waiting for this day for years." The two hugged once more before Pan realized Chase standing next to them, now with all four suitcases, watching confused.

"Dad, you remember Chase," she smiled, pulling the boy in front of her. "He's grown a bit since the last time you saw him."

Gohan shook his head as he looked the boy over, "He never grew out of the Vegeta stage I see," he chuckled. Pan smiled and responded with a head shake 'no'.

"Chase, this is your Grandpa Gohan," Pan introduced him to the man in front of him. Chase stared up at Gohan, not quite sure what to say but before Pan could say anything else he launched himself into Gohan's arms, nearly knocking him down.

Gohan was shocked; he wasn't expecting such a warm welcoming; he was actually expecting the boy to be reserved about the whole thing. But having him in his arms made him realize how happy he was for Pan to have come home.

Chase didn't say anything, he just stayed in Gohan's strong arms; happy to have finally met someone from his family. He had lived through his friends at school telling him he wasn't wanted; that he didn't have a family for a reason; but now that was all changed, he had his first grandparent, and he was thrilled.

"Come on Chase," Pan said, taking the boy from her father's arms. "Let's get our suitcases and have grandpa take us to our new home." Gohan grabbed two of the suitcases and Pan decided to get a cart for the other two and their carry ons; they made it out of the airport and into his SUV with no issues.

The ride home was filled with conversation. Chase was going on and on, filling his new grandpa in on everything in his life; anything he could think of he was spilling to Gohan. Pan couldn't help but chuckle at her son; she had never heard him go on and on like this, he was usually fairly quiet. But she sat and listened, joining in when she felt it necessary to clarify things and she couldn't help but turn and smile to her father; she already felt better being near him.

"Are you sure that this is ok Dad; I mean I don't want to put you and mom out," she asked as they pulled up to her childhood home.

"Baby please. You know that you never put us out; you and Chase are welcome to stay here as long as you want, we are happy to have you," he smiled taking her small hand. "Plus you still have someone you need to meet and maybe spend some time with," he added, letting a small smirk play at his lips.

"Thank you," she spoke so sincerely; she wanted him to know how much this meant to her. The start of a new life, a better life was getting ready to take place and she was glad that her family would be here to help.

Gohan popped the back hatch before opened the door and getting out. He couldn't wipe the grin off of his face; he couldn't believe his baby girl had come home. He slammed his door shut and walked to the back of the Escalade, grabbing the suitcases out and setting them on the ground. "When is the rest of your stuff coming," he asked surveying the small amount of things they had brought with them.

"It got shipped out yesterday so I would probably say by the end of the week," she responded grabbing one of the smaller suitcases and handing it to her son. Gohan nodded before grabbing the two biggest ones and making his way towards the house; he was surprised his wife wasn't out the door sobbing with happiness as soon as he pulled up.

He went to open the door but it was locked, reaching into his pocket he realized his keys were still in the car so he rang the doorbell. "Mom will be here in a minute to let you in, I'll grab the rest of the bags," he smiled ruffling her hair as he walked back to his truck.

Pan stood on the front porch waiting until the door finally swung open, but her mother wasn't the one on the other side; a small dark haired boy stood staring up at her and then turned his glare to Chase, "Who are you," he asked confused?

"I'm Pan," she cooed to the young boy, who continued to stare at the two strangers in front of him. But before she could answer she heard a familiar voice come from behind him and then a loud scream followed as she was greeted by her frantic mother.

"Oh my Dende, it's really you," Videl cried into Pans shoulder, holding her tight, never wanting to let her go. Gohan smirked as he walked up the steps dropping the last two pieces of luggage, but he decided not to interrupt the moment of happiness for his wife.

"Geta, take a bag and show Chase to the room we have set up for him," Gohan instructed the younger boy who quickly obeyed without any questions asked. He then turned his attention back to his wife and daughter who were still hugging and crying together. "Girls let's take this party inside shall we," he smiled ushering the two of the forward in the house.

He had finally managed to get the two of them in and they took off towards the living room leaving him with the luggage; but he was quickly side tracked by the two younger boys running down the steps laughing with each other. "Geta," he yelled causing the boys to stop dead in their tracks, "Where's Sammie?"

"She's sleeping," he answered the older man, not moving from the spot he was stopped at.

"Grab another bag and take it up and then why don't you help Chase unpack and get some pajamas on and I'll put in a movie for you boys," Gohan instructed the boys before they got too carried away in whatever game they had already decided to play. "And please try and be quiet while Sammie is up there sleeping ok; shut the door to her room for me."

"Yes sir," Geta responded and headed to the porch to grab one of the small bags, Chase followed and they were gone again.

Gohan let out a sigh of relief, he was glad Geta was here to welcome Chase and make him feel comfortable in his new home, he turned around and dragged in the large bag before locking the door behind him. He headed up the stairs to get the boys settled in for the night; giving Pan a break from everything. He put the movie Bolt in and got the two settled in the big bed; knowing they weren't going to make it too far into the movie.

It was way past Geta's usual bed time, but they let him stay up for the special occasion; and if he knew that boy he would be snoring before the movie even started, he needed his sleep. After getting them settled in he headed back downstairs to find his daughter and wife and join them on the catching up party.

X o X o X o X o X

Gohan walked into the living room that was still filled with chatter from the two women; he walked over to where his wife and daughter were sitting and sat down in between the two. Pan snuggled into her father as she continued to listen to her mom talk. "You gals want anything to drink," Gohan asked pulling himself up off of the couch?

"Gohan get that good bottle of wine out of the garage fridge, let's celebrate," Videl gleamed as she pulled her daughter into another embrace.

"I can do that," he grinned before heading out of the room. Pan watched him go and decided she should go check on Chase before she got to settled in to a long night of conversing with her mother.

"Mom I'm going to go check on Chase," Pan stated as she stood up from the couch, stretching her arms, she hadn't realized how tired she actually was. All of the excitement side tracked her from the way she was feeling, but now it was back. Videl smiled and watched her daughter exit the room and listened as she made her way up the wooden stairs, she sat in silence waiting for Gohan to return.

Pan made her way down the hall to the bedroom she could here noise coming from. She hadn't even noticed before that her parents had added on to the house; there was a brand new section with three new rooms at the end of the hallway. As she walked past the doors she noticed one was decorated with butterflies and flowers with a name plate stuck to it, Sammie, Pan smiled realizing that must be her younger sister, who she had yet to meet; she made a mental note to ask her mother about her when she got back downstairs.

She continued her walk down the hall until she got to the room that held Chase; she pushed the door open slowly and found two boys sprawled across the large bed with a movie playing, both were sound asleep. She stood in the doorway for a moment; realizing she had forgotten about the other boy she had briefly seen when she first got here; I thought he was my brother, but if Sammie is my sister, who is he? She racked her brain, thinking if her mother had mentioned anything about the dark haired boy. She had only caught a glimpse of him at the front door before her mother was smothering her when she realized who was at the door.

She walked in and covered the two up with a blanket before turning the TV off and heading back down the hall. She was very curious about the two children that were in the home with her mother and father and she had a million thoughts running through her head. She quickly walked down the steps and into the living room where she found her mother asleep on the couch; her father had already covered her up and turned off the lights; I guess I'll have to wait till the morning, she shrugged it off and headed back up the stairs to the empty room where her father had laid her luggage in. She decided unpacking would be better for the morning and grabbed a pair of shorts and a t-shirt from her carryon bag, she changed into them quickly before climbing into bed and falling into a deep, peaceful sleep.
