108 Mom (2/2)

”You sure are carefree, little brother. There are at least 4 other Super Saiyans among his subordinates and they as well as Broly don't slack. They are constantly training to become stronger.”

”Hehe. I only have to become stronger than them!” Goku didn't seem to let these words get to him as his eyes were practically burning with fighting desire.

”I will help you dad! You take care of Broly and we will take care of the other Saiyans!” Gohan shouted in a determined matter, although it was more cute to the eyes of the others. Nevertheless, even Krillin seemed to be fired up by his words.

”You are Kakar- I mean Goku's son?” Gine asked. She didn't had time to approach him as she was telling her story, but she was instantly able to tell that this was her grandson after she first saw him.

”Ah, yes. This is my son, Gohan.” Gine approached him and kneeled down before rubbing her face in Gohan's.

”You are so cute! Oh my and a strong one as well!” Gine said as she was hugging Gohan.

Seeing this and after the heavy subject about Broly was done, the atmosphere had softened and became more welcoming.

Although Raditz was a bit quieter than his mom, everyone could tell that he had changed for the better. It didn't take them long to get to know each other better. Bulma and Krillin were narrating their tale's about how they have met Goku and what they have experienced on their journey to gather the 7 dragonballs. The others added some things as they told their story.

Gine was smiling happily as she intently listened to what a childhood her son had. It was getting late and after the story ended, she got up.

”I think we have intruded your home for too long. We have a house in the west not far from here, we will be living there. I hope I will not be a bother if I visited you. Kakar- Goku if it is okay with you, I want to get to know your wife in the future.”

”Sure, how about I bring her here the next time? And you can call me Kakarot, Vegeta does it as well anyway.” Gine smiled happily and caressed his cheek before hugging him again. They separated and Raditz suddenly stepped forward.

”Kakarot if you ever need a sparring partner, I will be glad to assist.” Raditz extended his hand. Goku saw his determination, without thinking further Goku reached out and shook it.

”I sure will.” Raditz couldn't help but let out a smile. ”See you around.”

”Kakarot, next time I will tell you about your father.” Gine said as she waved her arm.

”Hahaha. Can't wait. See you, mom!” Gine was stunned for a moment. Tears started to appear as she smiled brightly and wiped them away. Gine again approached him and gave him another hug before taking off with Raditz.

The others were watching her leave.

”She sure is a pitiful woman. I can't imagine what she must have felt after experiencing all that… Goku I want you to promise something. I want you to kick Broly's butt before he can hurt your mother again.”

”Don't worry I will make sure no one touches her.” Goku's voice was icy, untypical to his usual carefree personality. Although they didn't know each other longer than a day, he wanted to protect Gine. Maybe it was because of what she had told him or because he never had a mother figure, maybe it was the love Gine was spewing out at him and his son, but he had already opened up to her and would see her as his mother in the future. No one will be allowed to touch her!
