Chapter 1:Nightmares

She couldn't sleep. She would toss and turn in his arms at night and when she did get to sleep, she would always awake up a half an hour screaming.He had a hard time too. He could feel her fear for him, it had been growing stronger and stronger every night. He hated the feeling. He didn't want her to fear him, A long time ago she had never feared him like she did now.She moved again in his arms. She was facing him,he could feel her breath on his face.It smelled of Strawberries and whipping cream, a small sigh escaped her lips. He opened his eyes and stared at her face through the dark. He could only see the outlines of her face because of the moonlight shining through the balcony's glass doors.He noticed her eyes were open too, the silence huge over head, sadly he would have to make the first move. "Can't sleep?"His harsh voice broke through the cool night air."Yes...Im sorry I woke you..."She whispered softly.He sighed as he raised his hand up and place it by his head.He felt her small hand lay on his side,her head pressed against his chest.She moved with his every breath, He felt her grip tighten around him like he was leaving.

This frightened him a bit, He slipped his hand down his side and gripped her arm. "Bulma?" He whispered, she didn't look at him but hid her face in his chest."Whats wrong Woman? Tell me....and no lieing...."He whispered as his fingers made their way to her hand. Bulma looked at him, "Can't you just shut up and let me cuddle up to you Vegeta?" He laughed softly and shook his head. "No woman, then the next thing you know, you'll be crying on me."He said.Bulma glared at him through the dark, "You know, when you look hard enough into your eyes you can tell you never really did change that smart ass self of yours."She said.Vegeta leaned closer to her, "Its all the reason you love me..."He whispered, "Now...tell me whats bothering your sleep..."He said.There was no need to ask, they both knew what was wrong. It both haunted them but not as bad as Bulma.The memory of Babi had willed its self into Bulma's mind along with Vegeta but he never woke up screaming or didn't lose any sleep.It did make him take a different look on his family. He had talked with Trunks and Bra about what happened but Bulma had been the only one who had not opened up and talked about it. Of course Bulma denied she remembered anything about Babi and tried to forget the whole thing.But forgetting is not as easy as it should be.

Bulma lowered her gaze to the bed sheet not looking at him.Vegeta waited for an answer that would never come.He sighed as he shook his head. "Go back to sleep..."He grumbled as he turned his back on her.Bulma opened her mouth but closed it, pain filled her eyes. She hugged his back, "I'm so sorry Vegeta...he just keeps haunting me..."She whispered into his back.Vegeta had heard her but kept his back to her, he also heard her sob lightly as she let go of his back. Part of him wanted to turn around and hold her but he laid there with his eyes closed, her soft sobs the only sound in the room, he couldn't save her from the pain that was killing her heart and soul...This was his nightmare.

Vegeta opened his eyes 2 hours later and looked at the clock, 2:27 am. He sighed and look over his shoulder. Bulma laid there,hugging her pillow for life. Vegeta felt his heart broke slightly, She had cried herself to sleep when he had closed himself on her.He turned back around,his eyes suck on her sleeping face.It was expressionless, it had no relaxing look on it nor a pained look on it.She stirred in her sleep, her hair falling in front of her face. Her face soon became a mixture of pain and fear, Vegeta leaned closer. She turned slightly, her arms shook lightly although she wanted to fight someone off. "....n-no...what are you d-doing..."She mumbled in her sleep.Vegeta moved his hand over her shoulder to wake her but she made a violent movement to get away. Vegeta grabbed her and shook her lightly, "Wake up woman!"He hissed. "..stop it...p-please...your hurting m-me..."She mumbled softly.Her head shook side ways lightly, a lightly cry escaped her lips. Vegeta shook her harder, "Bulma!" "...Stop! Please let me go! NO!" Bulma's eyes snapped opened and stared at Vegeta who held her. Her eyes were wide and scared, they also held tears that had been hidden. "V-vegeta?"Her voice was soft and unsure. Vegeta nodded, Bulma pulled herself into his chest and cried.Vegeta froze on the spot, he could feel her shaking with her sobs.Vegeta looked down at her then placed his arms on her back. "...woman?"He whispered as she hugged him tighter."Oh vegeta...make him go away..."She sobbed as she cried into his chest.Vegeta just sat there with his hands on her back, his mind still frozen but his heart was open.

Within a few moments she had calmed down, She laid in his lap with her head against his chest.She listened to his heart beat as She traced her fingers on his arm .A long time ago when he had just came to earth and fought Goku, she didn't think Vegeta had a heart. She had thought alot of things about him.About how cold and dark he was...If she was back there she would have never thought that she would be laying in his lap or married to him OR even 5 feet close to him! She felt a smile slip onto her face, Just think what past Vegeta would say if he saw himself with her."What are you smiling about?" Came Vegeta's voice from above her."I'm smiling because I'm thinking of...things..."She whispered.Vegeta narrowed his eyes a bit and bent his head closer down. "Thinking about what kind of things?" He asked.

Bulma looked at him, Her hands reached up lightly and ran a finger down his left eye.Vegeta blinked his left eye when her finger pasted over it."W-what was that?"He question.Bulma shook her head and laid her head back on his chest. Vegeta stared at her, "Your an odd woman..."he mumbled softly.Bulma closed her eyes and smiled, she felt safe and warm. "..Vegeta..."She whispered sleepily. Vegeta looked down at her, "Yes?" "...I love you..."she whispered before she fell asleep. Vegeta sighed, "I knew this would happen...Now I can't go to sleep...damn you woman..."He mumbled but a smirk was on his lips as he said it.

Morning came and Vegeta had stayed up to watched over Bulma.Bulma yawned lightly as she snuggled closer on Vegeta's lap.He poked her cheek lightly, "Wake up Woman...I have to get up." "Bite me Vegeta...Your not going anywhere.."She grumbled as she rolled over in his lap. Vegeta sighed and leaned back against the fluffy pillows.He would have pushed her off but she had been asleep for 4 hours and had not had one nightmare.He closed his eyes, "How much longer?" "10 more minutes...then I'll get up..."She grumbled from his lap.Vegeta watched her with tired eyes, "Its been 10 minutes-" "No...its been 2 now shut up Vegeta..."Bulma said as she smacked his leg.Vegeta growled, "You know...If I was still Evil-" "Bite me...Im sleeping."Vegeta growled again and poked her cheek hard."Get up" Bulma sat up and glared at Vegeta. "Mean Bastard..."She snapped as she got up and walked into the bathroom.Vegeta got up and walked into the bathroom after her.

The morning went fine until the phone from ChiChi.Everyone had left the kitchen, Trunks went to work, Bra went to work in the lab and Vegeta went to Goku's place to have a small battle with him.Bulma sat down and sighed. "Hey ChiChi,Whats up?" Bulma asked as she traced her fingers over the table cloth."Nothing much..Goku and Vegeta went off together...So I thought I would talk to you.." Bulma smiled. "Figures...Saiyans are Saiyans right? Vegeta changed so much but I don't think he'll ever change himself about training."She said, ChiChi laughed. "Yea, I agree..."ChiChi said."...Bulma? Can I ask you question?"ChiChi asked. "Sure.What is it?" ChiChi took a deep breath, "Has Vegeta Ever...you know? Hit you?" Bulma froze. "...No..."She whispered very softly. ChiChi coughed, "...lair." "No I'm not, Vegeta would never hit me..."Bulma yelled angrily before slamming the phone down. She bit her lip as she walked out the kitchen and up the stairs and into the her bedroom. She laid on the bed panting. Her mind ran through every memory that she had with Vegeta. Vegeta had never laid a hand on her until...Babi...
