The next morning...

" Hey mom." Gohan opened the door to Goku's hospital room with one arm. Since the other was in a sling

" Shhh your father is asleep." Midori-ko looks up from her book and smiles whispering to Gohan

" Is he going to be okay?" Gohan asks looking at a sleeping Goku

" Before we know it." She nods

Gohan smiles and walks over to his mom and hugs her as tight as he could with one arm.

" I missed you so much mom." Gohan tells her

" I missed you too." Midori-ko held Gohan to her "I'm proud of you Gohan."

" Yeah?" He looks up at her

" Yes you've grown so much on me this last year." She says picking Gohan up to sit on her lap "Gosh look at you." Midori-ko smiles brushing hair out of his eyes

" Do I need a haircut?" Gohan asks

" Once you're better." Midori-ko smiles "You look so much like your father."

" Krillin said he thought I was him... well I think he meant I look like dad when he was my age." Gohan explains to Midori-ko and to himself

" Well yes." She smiles "No one can say you're not Goku's son." Midori-ko says

" Mom." Gohan fidgets

" Yes buby?"

" I have a lot of questions." Gohan picks at his finger nails

" I have the time." Midori-ko held his hand correcting the behavior

"Are you a dragon?" Gohan looks up

" I was wanting to tell you at my own pace." Midori-ko says "But yeah I'm a dragon."

" So I'm half dragon half Saiyan?" Gohan asks

" That's right." Midori-ko nods "I have questions about these Saiyan's."

" Me too." Gohan smiles

" For the longest time I believed your father was related to Sun Wu Kong but I guess he's an alien." Midori-ko softly laughs

" I'm quite a mutt, huh?" Gohan giggles

" The cutest mutt I've ever seen." Midori-ko tickles him careful of Gohan's bandages

They laughed a little not noticing Goku's eyes were open. He watched them quietly.

" Mom." Gohan looks up having another question

" Yes?"

" I...I where's my baby brother or sister?" Gohan's eyes on Midori-ko's belly

" Well." Midori-ko cleared her throat "It was no one's fault but." Midori-ko inhales feeling all the moisture in her body well up in her eyes

" But what?" Gohan gripped his mom's hand

" Gohan sometimes babies don't always make it and as much as I don't like it...." Midori-ko pauses not being able to hold in the tears looking at her first born.

Gohan's eyes widened the news hitting him. Gohan clinged to his mother.

 Gohan clinged to his mother
