Chapter 1: Big News
'Oh Kami...' Bulma thought as she paced in her bathroom, staring down at the small, pink plus sign on the plastic stick in her hand. 'I can't... I can't be... pregnant.' But she was indeed pregnant and with Vegeta's baby.
"Oh Kami!" she said aloud, stopping mid pace and falling to sit on the covered toilet seat.
'I have to tell Vegeta. But what if he gets mad? But maybe this is what he wanted, an heir? Or what if it sickens him and he leaves me? No! Vegeta may be cold and sometimes heartless, but he wouldn't leave me... would he?'
Bulma sat there for what felt like an eternity contemplating the pros and cons of telling Vegeta they were going to be parents. In the end, she'd rather deal with the consequences than lie and hide the fact that Vegeta's a father now. She couldn't do that to him, she loved him too much. So with a heavy sigh, she got up, tossing the pregnancy test in the trash, and walked out to the gravity machine where she knew Vegeta was ruthlessly training.
A few minutes later and she was standing in front of the large door, softly pounding on it with her little hand, knowing Vegeta could hear it. No answer. She knocked again and again got no answer. Her patience was now starting to wear thin and she knocked again. She lost her balance for a second as the door was pryed open and she was staring into the black, angry eyes of her lover.
"What woman?!" he barked.
Bulma opened her mouth, ready to yell at him for being so hostile for no reason, but nothing came out.
"What woman?!" Vegeta repeated, "why have you interrupted my training?"
"I need to talk to you," she finally said.
"Not now. Nothing can be more important than my training. Now leave." he started closing the door but Bulma put her hand on the door, stopping him from closing it.
"It is important. Way more important than your training." Vegeta crossed his arms in front of his chest and just looked at her, waiting for her to continue. "Well, you see, I found out something that'll change our lives. For the better I hope, and it's a precious gift Kami has blessed us with, an absolute mir-"
"You're not talking about the brat growing in your stomach are you?" Vegeta asked gruffly, eyes narrowing at her.
"Wha- How'd you know?" she asked, furrowing her eyebrows together and looking at him quizically.
"I've been able to sense him for the past couple of days. Now, if that's all you needed to say, I'm going back to training."
"Wait, Vege-" her words were cut off as the door was slammed in her face. "Well, that didn't go how i thought it would have," she muttered under her breath.
