Summary: Both Goku and ChiChi are gone both killed at the hands of Cell. Leaving Goten in Gohan's care. But babysitting is not all this young hybrid has to worry about. Cell has gone back in time to the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament in order to destroy the world without interference. Little does he know that a certain someone has followed him.

Life and Death by Lourdes-Sunrise-Princess

" Due to the rain, we are sorry to say that the 23rd Martial Arts Tournament has been rescheduled to be held tomorrow morning. Thank you and have a nice day" Fighters throughout the area were disappointed with the news, but soon left the area in search of hotels. As the rain purred twice as hard from the heavens, a cloaked figure held the bundle in his arms closer, in a feeble attempt to shield the enfant he carried from any harm which came in his way.

If someone were to take in the features of the cloaked figure they would have noticed that said person was in fact a teenage boy. His wild black hair, was spiked up and short, as if mocking the laws of gravity, and yet still appeared to have a soft texture to it. His large chocolate brown eyes contained only love and compassion for the baby he gazed at. However, they also held wisdom and pain, too much for a boy his age. The child the boy carried, also had the same facial features, with one exception. Where the enfant had tanned skin, the older boy had a white milky complexion instead.

Noticing he was all alone, the young teenager decided he too needed to find a dry, warm place to stay. Before he could go in search for one, a cry was emitted from the child's small and soft lips. " Shhh don't cry Goten, I'm right here. Don't be scared your brother Gohan is he here to protect you" whispered the older of the two as he gently rocked his baby brother back and forth in his arms. The reaction was almost immediate, as baby Goten's cries became small whimpers. "There, there Goten" said Gohan as he watched his little brother's eyes-a copy of his own-close as he drifted off into a deep slumber.

(sigh) "Father, mother I wish you were here"

(Flashback)

"NO DADDY" Was the thunderous yell that echoed throughout the entire Son household. The young hybrid reminded himself that it was only a dream, but realized that he was now coated in layer of his own sweat, due to the horrible nightmares that haunted and pledged his conscious. " Gohan, oh sweetheart are you alright" His mother asked worriedly, as she entered the dark bedroom. He only flashed a reassuring smile but did not answer. " Gohan" she asked again slightly scared with her son's lack of speech. " I-I'm fine m-mom" was his only hoarse reply. Of course ChiChi, being the type of mother she was, was not convinced with her son's weak attempt at a cover story. " Gohan, you truly don't think that I'm going to believe that, are you?" A small laugh escaped from his dry lips. " Can't keep anything from you can I"

" Of course you can't I'm your mother" Was her smug reply. Little light entered Gohan's room from the now opened door, but it was enough to outline his mother's very large midsection. Although his mother was only four moths pregnant, Gohan felt he still couldn't contain himself from jumping up and down at the mere thought of having a new baby brother or sister.

" I had another dream about the Cell games mom, that's all" he gave her another Son smile, hoping to drop the subject. " Your not still blaming yourself are you?". Silence "You are, aren't you" she stated. More silence "Gohan!" "Don't you blame me mom? It was my fault. If I had only- He was abruptly cut off when she suddenly forced his downcast face to look at her. " Now you listen here young man. All of the things that happened were Cell's fault not yours. OK. Don't you ever think that I would blame or hate you for any mistake that you made. I can't you're my sweet little Gohan after all" She told him. "Thanks mom, I needed that" He hugged her.

Soon the days became weeks and the weeks became months. At the Son household joy and excitement practically radiated off the walls as the due date for the newest member of the family got closer and closer. However, love and happiness no matter how strong, always seem to be replaced with anguish and times of peace become times of battles and wars.

** ** ** ** **

" Bye Lime, thanks for these" Gohan gestured to the twelve shopping bags that he now carried in his arms. " It wasn't a problem Gohan. Remember to drop by more often. It gets lonely around here with only an old gesure to keep you company." Lime joked. "AN OLD GESURE WHO HAS EARS" Came the loud reply. "Opps, didn't think he would hear that" whispered Lime. Gohan simply waved as he retreated from the village store.

An explosion was soon heard by the young hybrid. ' oh no that was in mom's direction' he thought as panic gripped his heart. Using his ki to speed up he final reached his home. Remains of what used to be his home greeted the half-breed as he approached in hopes of finding his mother. "MOM"

"Gooohhhaaann" Grocery bags were forgotten as he saw his mother sitting by what used to be the garage door. " Mom, what's wrong" Asked Gohan as he reached his mother's side, but noticed that she was taking very deep breaths. " G-gohan my-y w-w-water bro-o-oke"She stuttered trying, but failing to ignore the pain.

"But, you still have two more months mom" His skin paled as she screamed in pain. " D-does it-t seem-m l-like th-his baby-y cares, IT'S COMING OUT RIGHT NOW" He racked his mind, trying to figure out what to do.

A sudden determined look came on his face " Mom hold on, I'm flying you to Bulma's" She only nodded, and tightly wrapped her arms around her son's neck.

All the Z fighters had gathered for not only the birth of their friend's child but also in order to figure out who was responsible for the complete destruction of the Son residence. The sudden premature birth had caused everyone's spirits to go down, even Vegeita and Piccolo. (Although they would never show it) As Bulma appeared through the door, Gohan jumped out of his chair knocking it down in the process. " Is she okay Bulma? How is the baby? How did this happen?"

The blue-haired beauty could clearly see that Gohan had been crying. Stress and fear was etched on his face. " Slow down Gohan" She now had the attention of everyone as she continued. "Because your mother had a premature birth, there were many complications. The baby is perfectly healthy but…" Gohan wasn't liking where this was going. " But what Bulma" Silence "TELL ME!!!"he snapped unable to take the silence any longer. " L-listen Gohan, your mother had severe bleeding she i-isn't-t going to make it, I'm really sorry" That was all Bulma could get out before bursting into tears.

Piccolo decided to make himself known by putting a comforting green hand on Gohan's shoulder. Gohan merely brushed him off and walked forward, entering through the very door Bulma had just come out of.

He needed to see his mother, right now!

Walking into the room his mother was in, Gohan could now see her face. Although she had clear dark rings under her eyes, the happiest of smiles graced her tired face as she stared at the new life that rested in her arms. As if sensing another presence in the room, ChiChi slowly shifted her eyes towards the door where her eldest son now stood. " Gohan, don't just stand there say hello to your little brother"

Obeying his mother's wish, Gohan slowly made his way across the room towards the small body, which was heavily wrapped up in blue blankets. Showing her son, his new brother ChiChi noticed Gohan's face practically light up like a Christmas tree when he saw his baby brother's delicate features. " He looks just like dad!" Gohan exclaimed. ChiChi only nodded in agreement.

Remembering Bulma's words Gohan wanted to speak to his mother. " Gohan, I know that I might not live much longer then a few hours but I want you to promise me that you will take care of your baby brother" her feminine voice intervened. " I promise" said Gohan softly as silent tears sprang from the corners of his eyes. He could no longer deny it any longer, he was going to lose his mother.

And he did.

( End of flashback )

" If only my problems had ended there" Said Gohan as he watched his brother sleep in the capsulated crib, Bulma had lended him for his 'little time-journey'.

' I know your out their Cell, I will find you. That you can count on!'
