He still couldn't understand why Kakkarot had done what he did, and it bothered him. 'How could he give his life without fear like that? Why did he? Was it really worth that kind of sacrifice to save this pathetic rock?' His thoughts raced as he floated back to his home. Eventually, his thoughts turned to his son, and the boy's mother. And in an instant, he saw part of the reason Kakkarot did what he did. He, too, had a wife and son, and he gave his life to protect them.
Feeling a bit stronger, he increased his pace, eager to get back to the woman who was waiting for him. The aqua haired, blue eyed, brainiac pain in the ass woman he called his mate. And he couldn't wait to see her...
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

She thought of her son, the baby she held in her arms at that very moment. She
thought of the handsome, strong young man that the baby would become someday.
Little Trunks was asleep, unaware of what was happening. He'd slept through
most of the final battle with Cell. Bulma looked at her son and smiled.
And now, both her son and his father would be returning home. Or at least she
hoped. She had no clue that Goku was gone, and no idea if anyone else had perished
in the chaos. But in her heart she knew that Vegeta and Trunks would return
to her.
She turned her gaze to the evening sky just outside the window. The dark clouds
that covered the Earth while Cell was still alive had gone as quickly as they
had come, and the brilliant hues of red, blue, orange and purple returned. Bulma
looked to the horizon, anxious to see the silouette that would be the man she
loved, returning to her...
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully...

"No." He said to himself. "Not yet. I should get a shower, and
I do have someone to see..." He started to get himself ready for a nice
hot shower, being careful not to make any noise. He didn't want anyone to know
he had returned just yet. He made his way to the bathroom unnoticed, locked
the door, turned on the water, and began what he felt would be the most relaxing
shower of his entire life.
A few moments later, Bulma was passing by the bathroom on her way to her room.
She stopped, hearing the water running inside. She knew that her father was
at the corporate building taking care of business lost on the Cell incident,
and she had just left her mother downstairs watching baby Trunks. Confused,
she knocked and called through the door. "Hey! Who's in there? Dad? Did
you come home early?" When she got no reply, she sighed and returned to
the living room.
Several minutes later, Vegeta poked his head out of the bathroom. When he was
satisfied that noone was around, he made a mad dash for his own room to get
into something comfy. Then he was planning on making a bit of a grand entrance
and surprise his mate. As he pulled his training outfit on, he smiled and thought
of how happy the little Earthling girl would be...
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully

Behind her, just above the doorway, Vegeta floated against the wall of the building.
He looked down at the woman who was watching, waiting for his return. Smiling,
he floated downwards and landed on the balcony. He walked up behind her and
powered up his Ki slightly, being careful not to startle her.
Feeling a warm breeze from behind her, Bulma felt strangely at ease all of the
sudden. She smiled, which was something she rarely did after Vegeta had left
the first time. As the warm breeze increased, she felt a strong sense of comfort
and shelter. On a whim, she turned around. And there she found the source of
the warmth.
"Is this a dream? Could that really be you, 'Geta?"
The proud Saiyan warrior handed her a rose and reached out to touch her cheek.
"Yes, my love it's me. I won't be leaving you again."
"Are you sure this time, 'Geta? I don't think I could handle that again,
and with Trunks, that makes it harder, and..." She never got to finish,
since Vegeta had placed two fingers over her lips. Shock overcame her as she
saw Vegeta reach into his pocket and pull out a small box, then as he dropped
to one knee in front of her.
"No more disappearing acts, no more being alone at all. Bulma, will you
marry me?"
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours...faithfully

"Serious? Of course I am, Bulma. I want you to be my wife. Forever."
It didn't take her long to come up with an answer. This time, he had come home.
And he had come home to stay. He was becoming more of the Prince she had wished
for all those years. Her answer was easy.
"Yes..."
Vegeta slipped the ring onto her finger, and they embraced in a kiss that held
the same power as what it had taken to finish off Cell. The Earth may not have
shaken, the sky may not have turned black, and the world wasn't about to end.
But the power of the love these two shared was felt around the world. Nothing
could take it away anymore...
