Final Chapter
***********
The courtroom was silent as the jury's forman stood up to render there verdict. Goku was nearly dying and ready to scream to just tell him without all the suspense. Chi-Chi held Gohan close as the judge banged his gavel. " Have you reached a verdict?"
" Yes your honor?" The foreman said as he stood up, Goku silently praying for once not to hear the bad news.
" How do you find the defendant?" The judge asked as Gohan gripped his mother's dress shirt.
" We find the defendant in the settlement charge for six hundred thousand dollars............ Guilty." Goku only fell backwards as he heard the verdict. ' No.... this can't be.... Dear God please your joking right.' Chi-Chi began to cry as she clutched Gohan tightly. The lawyer next to Goku only stood firm as the judge allowed Goku's slump not of disrespect.
Raditz and his father smirked as they saw the jury continue and the crowd stare at Goku. " Was the settlement agreed upon by the jury or was a lower cost set forth?" The judge said as the forman nodded again.
" The settlement agreed upon by the jury is only sixty thousand. We did not find enough to support that extensive injuries sufficient to require enough. A cracked skull and bloody nose is not nearly enough to support such actions where medical assistance is far superior to healing such injuries." The forman said as Goku could only crack a half hearted smile as he looked back to Chi-Chi.
" Im sorry but I guess you two will have to be without me for awhile, but you won't be in any trouble financially." Goku said as Chi-Chi hugged him crying. He patted her head as Gohan grabbed his hand while standing up on his seat. " Im sorry son but im not going to be seeing you grow up." Goku held back his tears as he patted his son's head probably for the last time in a long while. ' God you seriously love screwing with me don't you! You son of bitch! I change myself and proclaim my love for someone and raise a family! This is how you give me compensation for the hell i've been through!' Goku screamed in his head but only hugged his wife.
The judge looked back to the forman. " And on the charges of assault and battery. How do you find the defendant?"
The forman again stood up as Goku turned back holding his family. This was not how Goku wanted it all, how could this be everything that he had worked for, this all didn't make sense. How could he live without his family for so long, he wouldn't be able to see his son grow up all because he gave his father what he deserved yet again! His head hung as he only let out a breath.
" We find the defendant not guilty." Goku's head snapped up as his lawyer smiled and tapped the desk.
" What? I thought they just said I was guilty?" Goku asked in complete bafflement as his lawyer stared at him.
" On the settlement charges yes, but in the actual prison sentence your free to go." His lawyer ran a hand through his hair. " Didn't you know that? This was two different charges just not one?"
Goku wasn't listening as he jumped into the air ecstatic. " Yes!" He yelled picking Chi-Chi up in the air and hugging her tightly against him. " Im not going to leave you! Im not going to leave either of you!" Goku cried as his tears fell from his face. Chi-Chi was crying hard as she held Goku.
" Oh Goku! Thank God your still with us." Chi-Chi hugged him as Goku's eyes opened but still had fresh tears. " Goku lets go home I don't want to be here anymore, im tired of all of it." Chi-Chi sighed as Goku nodded.
" For the settlement to begin the meeting will begin next week. I will have both parties informed of its time and place. Until that time this case is dismissed." He banged the gavel one last time before getting up. Goku's eyes went up to his brother's who were angry and disappointed. His father was just the same as Goku smirked.
" Well seeing as how only sixty thousand was out amount im sure we won't have a problem paying you that, but as well I am putting a restraining order on you both, you are to remain away from me and my family." Goku said as he turned to his lawyer nodding.
" Don't think this is over Kakarot. We just have to wait until you slip up then your going to pay for pulling this shit!" Raditz spat at him as Goku only shook his head smirking. This wasn't over he knew but this was his step to finally getting rid of them both.
" Maybe Raditz, but I believe that your reputation will need some healing." He grinned as Raditz scowled at him. " After hitting the defendant in court? And personally loosing a case against your own family Raditz? You should know better!" Goku said mockingly as Raditz only growled at him.
" Still your nothing boy. Your still the little kid we dumped in the orphanage your just a little bigger, but beyond anything you've done your nothing to what we are." His father said in a snort as Goku's eyes narrowed.
" And in my mind that's better then anything I could of asked for, beyond some sick old man and weak stuck up older brother I don't have much to compete with in your eyes do I? But while you can still hide behind the other..... im living the life of my choice. I am not bound by your restrictions or your life. Say what you will but I no longer care." Goku didn't wait for a response as he left with Chi-Chi and Gohan. His family was all he needed, not his past anymore which he could now leave behind.
Goku opened up the door to the courtroom walking out with his son in one arm and his wife by his side. Nothing could of been better, Goku went to there car and took the keys from Chi-Chi. He opened up the door and got in putting Gohan in his child seat. He forgot everything as he closed the door letting out a huge breath of relief. Chi-Chi only smiled as Goku looked at her the relief comforting her as well.
" I never thought this would happen Chi-Chi I was certain that my brother would of put me away." Goku said as he leaned over and hugged her again.
" I don't care to think what would of or could of happened anymore Goku, I just want to go home. Lets forget everything, I don't want to remember any of this." She sighed as Goku kissed her cheek.
" Without you there im sure I would of lost it on the second day for sure Chi-Chi, I could see the women in the jury looking at us both while we held Gohan. I guess that could understand your plight as well as my own." Goku looked Chi-Chi straight in the face. " But your right. Lets forget this ever happened." He brushed her hair back before they both kissed the other passionately. And as always Gohan watched with confused and misunderstanding of what his mom and dad were doing.

( Many Years Later)
Gohan was busy looking for an outfit for his senior prom in West City High School. It wasn't like he hadn't planned for it but being that it was tomorrow night he needed to get ready. He was looking through his father's old clothes and came upon an old black leather jacket. It was torn on the sides. The zipper was no longer attached. The only thing that Gohan knew about it was the bold white letters on the back. ' The Bouncer'. " Oh that jacket brings back memories." Gohan heard his father laugh as he walked into the room. Age hadn't slowed him down one bit being in his late thirties and still had never gotten a single haircut in his life. His hair draped around his neck but still held that rough look and uncombed ( Like his form of super-sayjin 4), look while Gohan's was all straight up in spikes.
" How does this old jacket mean anything to you dad?" Gohan asked. He had never seen his father were it at all, never before.
" Its just one of those things, my old job as a bouncer got me working for that and being a bouncer was the reason I ever met your mother. You know that we came together but it wasn't a fairytale beginning." Goku laughed as Chi-Chi came down the hallway picking up on there conversation
" Oh that old thing, that was when your father was still in spectacular shape and his hair was nowhere near this long!" Chi-Chi joked giving Goku's hair a playful tug. She hadn't been the most beautiful woman, but since having Gohan she had been taking a more refined motherly look. Her hair no longer loose but tied up in a bun, working hard at keeping her kids in school and on task instead of having fun.
" Hey what's going on?" Goten said bounding into the room as Goku patted his second son on the head. Chi-Chi took another seat as Gohan still sifted through his dad's old clothes.
" Nothing much Goten but do you want to know how me and your mom got together?" Goku said patting his knee which Goten climbed up onto in a heartbeat.
" Sure I would love to dad!" Goten cried cheerfully as Goku smiled.
" Well back when I was a few years older then goten I was a bouncer, and neither the most friendliest or gentlest person around. Well it wasn't long after that time when I met your mother." Goku kissed her as he always loved talking about her. " She was probably the toughest woman in all of the city, and you boy's know from experience. But it wasn't much that me and your mother found our ways to each other." Goku explained the details of how he and Chi-Chi came to be, why they never knew anyone besides Chi-Chi's family. But most of all he told them that never to let go of what you know is right, had Goku done that he would of lost Chi-Chi. Surely lost Gohan and Goten might of never been conceived but he left that part out. Though as Goku spoke of old times laughing and joking with every memory the couple still loved each other more then ever. It wasn't long until Gohan had left no longer finding what he wanted in his dad's room. But Goten fell asleep in his Dad's lap still being a young boy.
" Your wearing the boy out Goku. I think your training sessions are a little to demanding for a boy his age." Chi-Chi said rubbing his head.
" Naw I know there limits and besides I think its good that they get your studies, I never would of been that smart unless I had you as my mom...." Goku said with a sad sigh. " Man I wish to know what she thinks of me now...." Goku said looking up at the ceiling.
" She probably thinks how wonderful you became and how you raised your family with all the love you could." Chi-Chi said pulling the wrap off her hair and letting it fall down around her face. " And I would say the same thing." She kissed him on the lips as Goku responded gently.
" Your dad is taking Goten tomorrow night and Gohan is going to be gone for awhile right?" Goku said with a grin as Chi-Chi flushed.
" Why-?" Goten said with a yawn gently waking.
" N..Nothing dear just go back to sleep, its mommy daddy things." Chi-Chi said as Goten closed his eyes. " Goku don't talk like that around them. I don't need them learning about it before there ten years old!" Chi-Chi scolded quietly.
" Sorry, but your still the most beautiful woman I ever met." Goku said smiling.
" And your the most loving Bouncer I could of ever have dreamed of having a family with." Chi-Chi said with a smile right back at him.
