Standing here looking out my window

My nights are long and my days are cold

Cause I don't have you

How can I be so damn demanding?

ChiChi sat at her kitchen table having coffee after diner. She was
staring out her small kitchen window. `I can't remember the last time
I only had one plate to wash,' she thought on a small smile. Yamacha
had dragged Gohan out on one of his girl hunts. She didn't like the
idea of Gohan chasing women, but she decided it was time to let him
make his own decisions (some of them anyway). Goten and Trunks had
begged her until she had let Goten go over Bulma's. She felt bad
leaving Bulma with three Saiyin appetites, but the only other choice
was to keep them herself. Those two were way too much for one woman to
handle. Bulma, at least, had Vegeta's help.

I know you said that it's over now

But I can't let go

Everyday I want to pick up the phone

And tell you that you're everything I need and more

If only could find you

It was nights like this when she missed him the most. She had never
had the same stimulating conversations with him that she now had with
Gohan but it was nice just being with him. She had never told him how
much she enjoyed his company. ChiChi shook her head. She was not and I
repeat was not going to get all sad and depressed during her first
quiet time in months. She was going to clean her home. It always gave
her a certain peace to set her home to rights.

Like a cold summer afternoon

Like a snow coming down in June

Like a wedding without a Groom

I'm missing you

I'm the desert without the sun

Your the one and without a doubt

I'm a ring without a hand

I'm missing you

As she went through her living room with the duster she stopped at her
end table. Here there was a clutter of pictures both new and old. She
picked one and regretted as soon as she did. It was her wedding photo.
She remembered how there wedding had almost been ruined. There had
been another great evil that Goku had had to vanquish. She had been so
worried about him. She always was. As she sniffed she wonder what he
was doing at that moment. `Probably eating Heaven out of house and
home,' she thought with a smile.

Driving around thought I saw you pass me

My rearview mirrors playing tricks on me

Cause you fade away

Maybe I'm just hallucinating

Cause my loneliness has got the best of me and my hearts so weak

Everyday I want to pick up the phone

And tell you that you're everything I need and more

If only could find you

The next photo was a picture of her boys. Gohan. He was her first born
and the only reason she survived those first few months after Goku's
refusal to come back. There were times when she just wanted to die,
but then she would look at her baby and know she had to be strong.
Then she had learned she was pregnant. She fingered Goten's face
lightly. He was so much like his father that it almost hurt her to
look at him sometimes. Just like his father he amazed her everyday.
She was secretly proud that he had become a super Saiyin so young. She
just hoped that neither Gohan nor Vegeta found out, because if they
did she would loses the last man in her life to fighting too. She
looked over their happy faces in the photo. She wished Goku could see
how well they were growing up.

Like a cold summer afternoon

Like a snow coming down in June

Like a wedding without a Groom

I'm missing you

I'm the desert without the sun

Your the one and without a doubt

I'm a ring without a hand

The next photo was a group picture. ChiChi hadn't wanted to go on the
outing but Bulma had kept pestering her, telling her it would be fun
to get out the house. Bulma had finally won because Vegeta refused to
go if ChiChi didn't have to be `tortured' too. Bulma had been trying
to do the right thing but she didn't know that she only had caused
ChiChi more pain. They had reached the picnic site and Goten and
Trunks had disappeared. She could've spent the day with Gohan but he
had decided to go to the movies instead. So ChiChi had spent the day
alone watching her friends enjoy their selves. Krillin and 18 had
protectively watched Marron as she played with a rattle, small smiles
on their faces. Goku had looked at her and Gohan the same way Krillin
was looking at 18 and Marron. She had looked away because the scene
hurt to watch. She had turned to see Bulma laughing as she tried to
force-feed Vegeta the cake she had made. ChiChi smiled sadly. You
would never have seen her having to force feed Goku anything.

She looked over all her memories sitting right there on that table and
tears started to well up in her eyes. Damn, she had promised herself
she wouldn't do this. Obviously, cleaning hadn't done much to lighten
her mood. She wiped her eyes and started putting up her cleaning
supplies. She would not sit all alone in her house and cry. She was
stronger than that.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Say cause I'm, I'm missing youuu yeah

Like a cold summer afternoon

Like a snow coming down in June

Like a wedding without a Groom

I'm missing you

After showering, ChiChi climbed into bed. It was funny how after 5 and
a half years she could still feel him next to her in bed. She thought
how it had felt to have his arms around her and she felt the sobs
growing in her throat. They had conceived two children in this bed.
Gohan's bassinet had sat at the end of this same bed. Goku would get
up when he cried at night and rock him back to sleep. ChiChi had
secretly watched her husbands' interaction with his son and had stored
it up for later days. Goten's bassinet had sat in the same place. Goku
hadn't been able to rock him to sleep. At the thought, ChiChi's tears
broke free. Heartbreaking, gut-wrenching sobs tore themselves from
deep within her. She had never felt such grief, agony and pain in her
entire life. She cried for her husband, she cried for her sons, but
most of all she cried for herself.

Gohan unlocked the door and entered the house. Boy, was he ever glad
to be home. He hated going out with Yamacha and he was sure Yamacha
felt the same way. Yamacha was a great guy and everything but Gohan
just wasn't into women chasing. He walked right pass the kitchen
having already eaten and headed towards his room. He stopped by his
mother's door to tell her he was home. What he heard at her door broke
his heart. He knew his mother wasn't coping as well as she tried to
make people think, he just hadn't known how hard a time she was
having. He opened the door and walked in. She had tucked herself into
a small ball and was crying her heart out. Gohan sat on the bed and
pulled his sobbing mother into his arms.

"I - just- miss him- so much," she said through her tears.

"I know," was all Gohan could say. He hugged her tighter to his chest
and let cry her pain away.

I can't say more I can't say no more baby

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah ............
