A/N: Spur of the moment type of thing…
Disclaimer: Nope, last time I checked, I did not own Dragonball-Z :)
Bulma sat on the kitchen stool, in jeans and her lab coat, eating her fruit, swinging her legs like a delighted child. She didn't know how she got into this situation but she liked it.
"Bulma, dear, you seem extra happy this morning." Commented Bunny as she placed pancakes and syrup on the kitchen table.
At that moment, Vegeta walked in, "I wonder why that is," he asked with an obvious grunt.
Bunny was almost positive he knew; she had overheard them talking last night.
Bulma completely ignored him, unusual for her. "I'm off to get some work done in the lab," She announced to no one in particular. She dropped her fruit in the garbage and walked out of the kitchen.
"Don't work too hard dear!" Bunny yelled. She then quietly added, "It wont be good for the baby!" and giggled. Vegeta cringed and grabbed his pancakes.
Bulma was at her desk in her lab for a little under 10 minutes before she was interrupted. "You're bringing too much attention to yourself woman." Vegeta said before he gently twirled her chair around so that she was facing him.
She closed her eyes and counted to ten. "Can I not be happy?" She asked as she stood up and looked him directly in his eyes.
This woman had some nerve. As weak as she was, she still stood up to him without fear. She was staring him down like he couldn't end her right where she stood. She never ceased to amaze him. He didn't know how he got in this situation but he was lost. He quickly regained his composure, "Happy to be having my child, a sayain child, you're just not listening to me when I tell you how challenging this will be, this child will tear you apart, for one who claims to be a genius, you're not thinking rationally right now!"
Instead of her usual smart response, she smiled and gave him a small kiss on his lips. "Aww...somebody's worried!" She teased and turned around fully intending to sit back down and start her work- that was before she was yanked back around for the second time.
"Woman, this is serious, he will kill you, do you understand what I am saying?" Vegeta spat angrily, he was done playing nice, he'd given her enough time to come to her senses.
She too had had enough, "We had this conversation last night, I understand the risk and yes I have decided to have this baby, can you just respect my decision and support me, is it too much to ask?" She angrily shouted.
"So you've made your decision, you're going through with it?"
"Yes."
He immediately turned around and walked away.
She didn't know how she got in this situation but for some reason she felt a pang in her heart. As she sat back down at her desk, finally ready to begin her work uninterrupted, a single tear fell from her eyes. This was not going to be easy.
She was such a stubborn enigma. He was fighting against her and she wasn't budging. He could not live with himself if anything happened to her. Instead of going to train, he flew off to meditate. By the time he returned, Capsule Corp was quiet and all of the lights were out. He went into the kitchen and ate the food Mrs. Briefs left over for him. His thoughts went back to Bulma, if he wanted her dead, he reasoned he would kill her himself and not allow his unborn child to do so.
He finished his meal quicker than usual and proceeded to the guest room. As much as he knew it would hurt her, he just couldn't deal with her right now; he couldn't sleep with her in the room they had grown to share over the past couple of months. He felt her ki as he approached; it was a little too late to turn around. It was his fault; he was too distracted to notice it before.
He groaned and stood in the doorway, "What are you doing here?"
"Sleeping, she yawned, you didn't think I'd let you get off that easily did you?"
"Bulma..." he started.
"DON'T, can you just lay with me, I'm pregnant and right now I just want to be next to you, appease me for once oh mighty one."
Times like this she still found a way to make him smirk. He resigned, he wouldn't win this battle. She had made up her mind and he was forced to accept it no matter how much he disagreed. He never thought about bringing a child into this world, especially with his own world gone. He had to admit that if anyone could do it Bulma could. He joined her in the guest bed after his quick shower. She immediately draped her legs over him and put her arms over his neck.
"It seems like I am the only person who wants to have this baby."
"You have my support Bulma."
"Thank you, can we talk about it?"
"There's nothing to talk about, I told you how I felt. If you want someone who likes to talk you'll have to find scarface."
She playfully hit him." I feel like there's something you're not telling me, you can talk to me, I want to know what's going on."
He knew she would not let him drop the subject. They were similar in that aspect.
He started, "We don't know if you're strong enough…"
"We already conquered that, if Chi-Chi could do it than so can I, try again Mr."
He finally gave in, "I don't know how to be a father… I don't know if I could be a father."
She looked up at him with a soft smile, "I don't know how to be a mother, but I'd like to, we can do this together."
"What do you expect from me?"
"Besides beating the androids? I want you to continue being you, I want you to be here for our son, in whatever way that is for you, I want you to be a father, what do you expect from me?"
"Are you really asking me that right now woman?"
She chuckled, "Yes, now answer me!"
He smirked, "I guess I expect you to be a woman and continue doing all of those slave chores you've been doing."
"You're such a jerk!"
He didn't respond. Both were lost in their own thoughts.
She interrupted the silence, "Are we really going to have this baby even though neither one of us know what we're doing?"
"It appears so."
"Thank you for believing in us," she whispered in his ear before giving him a peck on the cheek. They soon drifted off to sleep. Neither one of them knew how they ended up in this situation, how two people so similar, who seemingly hated each other so much, could come together and turn that hate into passion, admiration, love…he didn't know how he became so tamed, she didn't know how much she had changed, but they both liked it.
A/N: Review please! I feel like I'm stuck at this point where I can do one shots but I want to take it to the next level with chapter long fics and maybe A/U's. Granted, I'm grateful I'm even doing one shots but how can I get to that next level? If you have any suggestions, advice, comments please PM me :). I will be continuing this story, just have to get some creative juices! Review with suggestions!
