Son Gohan

"You'd think being a baby would be a life of luxury. Since you just shit yourself, piss yourself, cry a lot, and just constantly being fed. Other than that, you sit around doing nothing without a care in the world."

"It would all too easy"

"Right?"

"NO! IT FUCKING STINKS! LITERALLY!"

"EVERY DAY I WAKE UP WITH MY DIAPER FILLED WITH MY OWN CRAP AND URINE! I FEEL IT CONSTANTLY! I CAN'T TALK, I CAN'T WALK, AND EVERY TIME I'M HUNGRY I GOT TO SUCK ON MY OWN MOTHER'S TITS!"

"I DON'T WANT TO SUCK ON MY MOM'S TITS EVERY DAY!"

"THIS IS NO WAY A MAN SHOULD LIVE!"

It's been a few weeks since Gohan has been given a name. And so far, everything has been alright within the Son Family household.

Gohan in his baby crib and with nothing else to do looked around and searched his environment. There were some open books on the table and there were some pictures lying around showing Goku's and Chi-Chi's wedding. He could even see the 4-star dragon ball from where he was laying. There were some other things around the room but it didn't pique his interest

Speaking of Goku and Chi-Chi, Gohan switched his attention toward his mother who was currently walking around the house picking up dirty clothes that were lying around. Which mainly were Goku's. Who would simply take off his clothes and leave them on the floor after training.

As for the Saiyan himself, he was out there being the absent father that he was. Most likely training for Piccolo's return or was casually fishing a megalodon to return home so his wife could cook it for him.

"Chi-chi...I guess should be called her mom now" Gohan thought to himself and the while his mind wondered about his new family, his new life.

Chi-Chi within the community of dragon ball was never well-liked. And he understood why she received such disdain. Her outlook and treatment of her Saiyan husband and how she constantly forces her child to study every single moment to become a great scholar. Hell, she even hired a man to WHIP her son to study once! She constantly tries to force her family into a "Normal" lifestyle in a troubled world that is constantly threatened by aliens and supernatural beings with destructive power of galactic scale. She fails to realize that the only few people that can defend the world are HER HUSBAND AND CHILD! She wants her son to focus more on his studies than saving the earth. Yet if he doesn't help save the earth, there won't be anything to study!

There was a moment in the anime where she herself responded to a question when goku asked her if Gohans studies are more important than saving the earth and she responded back with "THAT'S RIGHT MISTER! THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN GOHAN'S STUDIES RIGHT NOW! AND IF HE TAKES THREE YEARS OFF HE'LL FALL BEHIND!"

The main problem with Chi-chi is that she's too focused on the little things to see the big picture. Other than that, she was a good mother. Of course crazier side but who wouldn't be when your husband can destroy the earth with a flick of a finger? She just wants what's best for her son and wants to give him an education. And she genuinely loves Goku. She just fails to realize that the moment she married goku, she could never have that normal life. Does she have annoying moments? YES! ABSOLUTELY! Is she a good wife and mother? yes.

"I'm home!" the door opened wide to reveal goku walking through. Who was carrying a massive Fish on his shoulders. He had been out for the entire day of training until it was late and decided to catch a fish before he came home.

"Goku!" A smile appeared on Chi-Chi face as she put down her basket and proceeded to give a big hug before proceeding a complete 180 " Where have you been!? You've been out of the house all day!"

Goku innocently chuckled as he placed the fish down on top of the table " I've kinda been training for a while and before I realized it, It was already late. So I decided to bring us big a big fish so we can eat it for dinner!"

As much as Chi-Chi wanted to be mad at her husband, all that came out was a heavy sigh as she shook her head. She shouldn't have expected anything else. It was Goku after all.

"Sometimes I worry about you Goku. Fine, I'll start cooking that fish of yours after I'm done doing the laundry" She quickly shifted her gaze to her little boy with a smile appearing on her face " He's so adorable. He reminds me of you when we first meet".

Seeing that his wife wasn't mad at him, a wave of relief washed over him as he turned his attention to his child. Picking him up from his crib and tickling him. Getting a laughing reaction from the baby.

"Gohan..." Goku muttered as he played with his kid. He wasn't used to being a father. It was unknown territory for him. He would get reprimanded by his wife many times. But it felt nice having a family of your own. Having spent many years by yourself in the woods tended to get really lonely real quick.

"Chi-Chi, when Gohan gets older I'd like to tra-

"Absolutely not!" Before Goku could even finish what he had to say, Chi-Chi cut him off. Knowing what he wanted to say before he could say it.

"But Chi-Chi!"

"I said no Goku! I don't want him to have the same upbringing as you! I want Gohan to grow up with a proper education! He doesn't need to grow up and waste his time learning martial arts when he could learn actually proper life skills! Gohan's going to become a great schooler and you're already strong enough to protect the earth if anything comes to harm us so Gohan could focus on living a normal life.

Goku just grumbled a bit placed Gohan back in his crib and walked away. As much as he wanted to talk back and try to change her mind, he knew that it was a losing battle as once Chi-Chi makes up her mind about something it was extremely hard to change it. All he could do was hope that his son wanted to learn how to fight.

Chi-Chi, seeing her husband walking, just shook her head and picked up where she left off and continued doing what she was doing previously. Before eventually finishing and going to start making dinner. Leaving Gohan by himself with his thoughts

"Becoming a great schooler.....such a boring way to live" Gohan thought to himself as he reminisced about the original Gohan and how he turned out in the end.

Son Gohan. The character that was destined to become the true protagonist of Dragon ball and one of, if not the strongest character within the series (Excluding the gods of course), was nothing but a shell of what he could have become.

Throughout the series, Gohan was built up to replace his father. From becoming a scared child left to fend for himself in the Sayian saga, to the monster that was ss2 Gohan during the Cell saga. You saw not only him progress physically, but as a character as well. It's a shame that Gohan's peak was the Cell. Since it went all downhill from there

He went from the monstrous child who inherited the mantel of earth's protector, to this young adult who slacked on his training for 7 years and then became the great Saiyaman. Going around town fighting robbers and criminals. And the moment he has the chance to shine and go back to the character he once was as Mystic Gohan, he gets bodied by Buutenks and is eventually absorbed. Leaving his dad to clean up the mess and establishing himself as the protagonist once again. Rendering all of his character development throughout the entirety of the show wasted.

Nowadays in super, he regained some semblance of his character development back. Establishing his own family, regaining his ultimate form, and helping out with the tournament of power. He's even willing to fight and train to protect his family and friends. All of this building up for him to unlock his beast form in Super Heroes. But that's merely a fragment of what he could have become.

And in the end, he couldn't live up to his own potential. Ironic.

Knowing all of this, Gohan didn't plan on slacking off as the original did. He had the third-highest potential in the entire series and he wasn't going to let it waste (4th if we're counting Cell).

He was going to become the strongest that he could be. And he had the knowledge and potential to do so. He was going to become what Gohan should have been. Of course, he wanted to live a comfortable life, but he wanted to do that, he needed to secure strength in order to establish peace.

And he was going to start his path of greatness soon

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon the sun faded away and the moon took its palace. Replacing the sunlight with darkness.

Everything was peacefully quiet. Inside the Son Family residence, Goku and his wife Chi-Chi were peacefully sleeping away the time. Goku was dreaming about eating sweet juicy meat while Chi-Chi was also thinking about sweet juicy meat

But not everybody within the Son Family Household was sleeping. Inside one of the many rooms of the house, There was a crib with a small baby in it. He looked like he was sleeping away in bliss until his eyes opened up.

Hearing his father's snores in the other room. Gohan got up and put his body in a meditative position. Much like how Piccolo does it.

Now that his parents were finally asleep, he could now do what he wanted to do for a while.

It's time to learn how to harness ki!

Ki, also known as energy, is the life force energy that everybody uses. It is a tangible energy inside every living being, with its major focus being in the center of the body. By drawing it out, an individual is able to manipulate it and use it outside the body. Because there are physical limits to the strength of the body itself, it is necessary to increase one's ki to overcome this barrier and become stronger. Usually, the more concentrated the masses are, the more time the user requires to draw it out. Normally, the more the ki is increased, the harder it is to control, so ki control is also important

So by setting down the foundation early on in life things would be much easier later on. It would most likely take a while but he was confident. If his wife could do it after a few tries then he could do it as well. Hell, If his daughter can learn to control ki and learn to fly all the while being a baby then he could also!

"Speaking of wife..." Gohan muttered as his mind wandered about his future wife. The original Gohan defiantly got lucky when Videl walked into his life. Good looking, has spunk, is a tomboy, and is a great supporting wife and mother. She's defiantly within the top 10, if not the top 5 best girls of dragon ball. Up there with the likes of Bulma and Bae-teen.

But surely he couldn't look himself out of options, right? Not when there are the likes of Cheelai, Caulifla, Kale, Bluma, and Bae-teen. He was confident in himself that if he tried hard enough, he could get one of those prizes all to himself. Sure the age gap would be weird but eh who cares?

In the end, age is just a number, right?

A perverted smile subconsciously appeared on his face. Before suddenly, he felt a wave of pain on his face as he slapped himself really hard " GET IT TOGETHER GOHAN! DON'T LET THE POWER OF HORNY CONSUME YOU!"

"YOU'RE RIGHT ME! I CAN'T LET THE THOUGHTS OF CHEELAI'S TITS CONSUME ME! I GOTTA FOCUS ON THE GRIND!"

A wave of determination flowed through Gohan as he closed his eyes and mind. Focusing on the energy within his chest and blocking all the temptations from consuming him.

"I can feel it...It's small and faint but it's there" Gohan thought to himself and he focused on the small ball of energy within him. trying to get out it of his body. He failed multiple times but with each retry, he became more proficient and experienced until suddenly he felt something warm between his hands. He opened his eyes and smiled with glee as he saw a small ball of Ki right in front of him!

"I did it.....I actually did it!" Gohan yelled out in his mind as he was extremely excited. It took him a while but in the end, he actually did it! He tried summoning the ball of ki in his hands once again and it immediately appeared.

Now he just has to practice constantly and improve his ki control. And hopefully, he could learn how to fly soon. He wanted to show his father his potential at an early age so he could immediately start training him. He just hoped that Chi-Chi would allow his father the opportunity to do so.

"Now that I got that down, I could now focus on that other important thing," Gohan thought as he turned around towards his belly.

"ITS TIME TO TRAIN! I'M GONNA BECOME A MUSCLE BABY!" Gohan yelled in his mind as he pumped himself up. Even though he was just a baby, He was half Saiyan. So He inherited the Saiyan constitution and physiology. He wanted to get some early training and since he was still just an extremely young baby and had underdeveloped muscles. So he was going to take advantage of his biology and get stronger. Getting some small Zenkis along the way. And he had the perfect training regimen to do it...

100 PUSH-UPS! 100 SITUPS! 100 SQUATS! AND 10K RUN!

Well, he couldn't really do the running part since he was a baby and didn't know how to run yet. So he, unfortunately, had to take that part out for right now. But everything else was still on the table.

He got into position and started his first step. The push-ups

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

'4!"

"5!"

So began Gohan's nightly activities. As everybody else was happily sleeping the night away, he was up every night training and preparing himself for the dangers to come in the future.

And nothing was going to get in his way for ti- I mean strength!
