"Someone dignified?" Zatanna muttered, a bit confused by the comment, but it seemed like a good thing, right?
Soon, everyone said their goodbyes and left. Gohan left Barbara on the lookout.
Piccolo turned and scanned the girl. 'She feels human?' Piccolo mused to himself before shrugging. She must have some talent if Gohan brought her along.
Gohan, Vermont, Diana, and Zatanna arrived above Mount Paozu. Landing outside, Gohan walked up to the house.
"You guys wait outside; I don't want to give my mother a fright," Gohan explained. He could feel her Ki inside, along with Goten's.
He slowly turned the doorknob and entered. "Goku! You're back? I thought you sai—" Chi-Chi didn't finish as she rounded the corner and dropped the bowl with cream.
"Mom?" Goten's voice questioned. He couldn't sense his father's Ki. 'Gohan?' Goten immediately felt the familiar feeling and dashed past Chi-Chi, who was still stunned.
"BIG BROTHER!" Goten yelled joyfully as he tackled Gohan through the wall. The guests were shocked to see Gohan fly through a wall after hearing 'Big brother' from inside.
"Gohan?" Zatanna questioned as she watched a small Goku wrap around him.
"Hey, squirt! What's up?" Gohan asked as Goten stared at him with stars in his eyes before they became shiny as tears threatened to escape.
"WAAAAH!" Goten's tears finally flowed. It had been a few years since they had seen each other.
Gohan just chuckled and patted his head in an attempt to calm his younger brother. "My Baby!" Chi-Chi's voice finally pierced the air as she charged through the hole in the wall.
She quickly tackled Gohan too, tears falling down her cheeks. "Wh-where...." Chi-Chi started, but her anger started rising too. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MISTER!?" She asked but just hugged him again.
"I thought I'd never see you again..." Chi-Chi sobbed quietly.
Gohan returned the hugs. They sat in silence for a few moments before they finally gave Gohan some space. "Mom, Goten, I want you to meet some friends I met," Gohan turned, and they finally noticed the guests present. Chi-Chi quickly composed herself.
"This is Diana, Zatanna, and Vermont," Gohan explained as they exchanged greetings before Chi-Chi asked.
"So which lovely lady will be giving me grandbabies?" She asked as Gohan turned red in the face along with Diana. Zatanna held back from bursting into laughter.
He quickly explained his adventure in DC. "Wait, so...you're not staying?" Chi-Chi asked as Goten frowned.
"Unfortunately not, but I will visit as often as I can," Gohan explained. Chi-Chi frowned, but after what she heard from her son, she gently held him and pulled him in for a hug.
"You've been working hard, haven't you, my boy?" she asked as Gohan smiled and relaxed. He forgot how much he missed his mother's caring touch.
"How long are you staying?" Chi-Chi suddenly asked. "I will stay here for a week, but after that, I have to go back to training, otherwise we're all in trouble," Gohan explained as Chi-Chi's hands balled before she smiled.
"Alright, don't be a stranger, buster!" She exclaimed.
"I also want to train!" Goten exclaimed as Chi-Chi just covered his mouth and glared at him.
"You will do no such thing! Do you hear me!?" Chi-Chi questioned and squeezed Goten as he turned blue in the face before tapping out. Chi-Chi, not realizing she had been choking her child, released him before patting his head as he coughed. Making both Diana and Zatanna sweat drop.
"Mom's right, Goten," Gohan interjected. She already lost one son to the battlefield; she wasn't about to lose another. Goten pouted but didn't argue.
Everyone quickly settled down and enjoyed a home-cooked meal from Chi-Chi.
"I'll be back in a few minutes; I need to take Zatanna to the Grand Kaio," Gohan explained. "You ready?" He asked her as she nodded.
They stood nearby before waving as Gohan and Zatanna left with Vermont. "So..." Chi-Chi started as she looked at Diana and shooed Goten away; he had to study anyway.
"Are you and my son seeing each other?" She asked as Diana blushed lightly before nodding.
"Your son is a great man," Diana said as Chi-Chi smiled.
"You're very beautiful, and you obviously have great taste," Chi-Chi finished while nodding and closing her eyes.
"Has he proposed yet?" She asked suddenly as Diana shook her head.
"We Amazons don't generally have such things," Diana started. "On Themyscira, the women exist alone..." Diana saw Chi-Chi's eyebrows rise in a questioning manner, prompting Diana to explain her mother's decree.
"Your mother passed a law that forbade your kind from leaving their home?" She asked before Diana nodded.
"I don't know her, but she sounds like a mother who loves her children. It's sad to hear the reason why she closed the gates of her home from the rest of the world. It's almost the opposite of what happened with my family," Chi-Chi related.
"The opposite?" Diana questioned.
"Oh yeah, my father the Ox King..." Chi-Chi began explaining the past of Mount Frypan.
"You're a princess!?" Diana asked, surprised.
"Don't get too jealous now. Although that was years ago, all our family wealth burned down when Master Roshi destroyed Mount Frypan," Chi-Chi finished as Diana stood up excitedly.
"Of course not! I am Diana Prince! Princess of the Amazon—" She explained before stopping. "I apologize; I tend to forget I have been exiled for my feelings."
Chi-Chi reached over the table and gently touched Diana's face, smiling. "Well, if you aren't a princess anymore, the moment you marry into the Son family, you will become the princess of the once-great Mount Frypan," Diana, initially stunned, smiled at Chi-Chi as Gohan reappeared with Vermont to find the two engrossed in conversation.
"Gohan!" Chi-Chi's voice pierced the air, making Gohan turn blue in the face. "Why haven't you already proposed to this beautiful woman?" She asked angrily while tapping her foot on the ground.
Having been put on the spot, Gohan started sweating before he began to explain. "Well, you see, Mom... I wanted to find the right time, but I've been really busy lately and I don't really have much privacy, so..." Gohan started, hoping his mother would catch on, which she thankfully did. 'So he plans on proposing soon.'
"Alright, good," Chi-Chi eyed the two of them before hearts appeared in her eyes. "When am I getting grandbabies!?" She asked them both, this time putting them both on the spot because, well, the process has already begun.
"Mom!"
Gohan made eye contact with Diana, silently conveying not to mention her pregnancy, at least not yet.
"Are you staying here the entire time for the week?" Chi-Chi asked as Gohan nodded.
"We only have your room and Goten's room, so for now, Goten will take your father's side on the bed, and Diana can use your room, and you can sleep in Goten's room."
