Bulma stepped out of her sons house shaking her head wwith a smile trunks had always atracted young lady's and now he had chosen the one he wanted to be with forever. Kohaku I guess I can live with her as a daughter she thought as she got in her car to go home. the short drive from trunks to her home was plesent and when she got home it was nearly sunset. Winter sunsets where always plesent she thought as she sat back on a bench in the yard the swing bench hadn't been used in a long time and it was nice to set there and think of all the stuff that had happend over the years. Her son and daughter had fineshed college bra had a lovely boyfriend and now Trunks was engaged to his own young lady. she let out a sigh and felt a large hand on her shoulder and jumped. Turning around she saw Vegeta.

"Vegeta you nearly scared me to death." She said exasertly.

"You should come in now it's cold and dark." He said and headed back to the house. She stood up and walked with him.

"Trunks is engaged."

"Hmm?"

"Trunks your son. he's engaged to a young girl, Kohaku." She said lightly.

"He's always getting in trouble with girls." He said.

"Oh, loving a girl is trouble?" She said chalengingly.

"feh, yes." He said as if was the most ovious thing in the world.

Bulma just stalked off. She knew she loved Vegeta she had known for years and she beleived he loved her too but some times the things he said just made question her self. She never thought she'ld end up with the cold sayian prince she had once even consedered asking the dragon Shenlong to give her the perfect man. Then she found Yamacha and after he got over his fear of wemon he was verry much a lady's man and she just got fed up with him. Bulma got to her room and tried to drag her self out of these memory's as she got into the shower but the worm water just woken the nest set of memorys. Later after she had gotten over Yamacha she had walked past Vegeta's room. He was setting on the window seal. Only the moon illuminated him in the darkness. He seemed so alone and strong and, sad. She knew then even though she had denied it because at that moment all she wanted was to comfert him from his pain. After his acsedent in the gravity room she was even mor shure, but know two kids and more then a few years later she was starting to dought his love. She just wasn't shure if there was enough love between them to last.

She got out of the shower and went to bed alone. The next week went by and finaly an invatation to Trunks and Kohaku's wedding that was to be held in one month. That time passed quikly with only a few glances at Vegeta between then and the big day. She and Vegeta got in the car to go to the wedding. She wore the pail lavender dress with her grey hair pulled back in a ribon of the same shade of lavender. Vegeta looked verry atractive in a suite his face had been shaved a long time ago and hadn't grown back, he didn't look much older then he had when she had first seen him on Namek, now he had more grey but most of it was still black and wild as befor, his face was more mature now. She looked so much older then him she thought as she started the car and drove off with Vegeta in the passenger seat. He had perment creases from frowning so much and deep lines near his mouth but no wrinkles, his face was carefuly nuetral now. She on the other hand had many wrinkles and an entire head of grey hair she was a pure blood human she grew old as most people did, not like Vegeta. Just at that moment as she turned a train came out of no where and hit her side of the small car and she blacked out. for a long time all she saw was blackness, she only heard silence she was terrified. Then a blurry white light apeared. it grew and became more focesed she thought she was blind when all she saw was white, then moving her head she saw IV's and moneters, it was making a steddy beep beep over on the other side setting on a hard burgendy plastic chair was a familiar wild haired sayian. She could tell he was asleep. she tried moving to look around but she became painfully awair of her body, gasping in pain she aborted all movement. Then she saw the saiyan prince move she knew he was awake now but he wouldn't let her know but she had watched him for years she knew him better then he thought.

When a man in a white jacket came in he barly looked over at him. The doctor nodded to Vegeta and turned to Bulma and smilled. "Glad to see your awake Mrs. Briefs." his smile and voice where a beutiful sound compared to the silence that had streched on befor. The doctor checked her vitals, eye movement all of thoughs things. Then started talking to her agien. "Do you remember what happened?" she nodded.

"We got in the car and started driving and I was thinking about something, and then the train," She turned to Vegeta. "Trunks?!" She asked and he under stood. The doctor gave him a puzzeled look. Vegeta noded. "They post poned the wedding." He said. Bulma was on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry." she said and looked down. When she did she missed the drawn look the Doctor gave Vegeta.

"Bulma." Vegeta said in a stern voice, when she looked at Vegeta he noddedto the doctor.

"Mrs. Briefs, I have to tell you, when you where in the acisedent you where injured severly. and your lower back took most of the beating." he took a breath and glanced at Vegeta but Vegeta's eyes never left Bulma. "You lower back took on most of the beating. The pressure on your back caused you spine to snap. we mended it the best we could, but most of the nerves where irreparible. you woun't be able to feel or move your legs." he said looking down.

"Nn-no that can't be." she studdered then moved to stand up, falling off the bed luckly Vegeta had such great reflections and caught her. Bulma just broke down. She just cryed. the doctor slipped out and left Bulma with Vegeta. Vegeta colected bulma in his arms and sat on the bed. He sat there with her in his arms as she cried.

To her this was the safest place for her, in Vegeta's arms. She just couldn't believe she would never walk agien. No feeling of sand in her toes, the worm wather runing down her legs from a shower, never agien would she feel the freedom of just walking in the morning. She cried.Hours went by, and He just held her finaly she fell asleep and he just held her. He soon fell asleep too.

When Bulma woke up she felt Vegeta's heart beet below his chest. She wanted to believe yesterday was just a nightmare but she knew the horrible truth as soon as she went to move. It wasn't that she couldn't feel any of her lower body. Just her legs, just above the middle of her thigh. She could feel her hip and her waist, but it wasn't enough to walk.
