Chapter two
Vegeta awoke to a loud noise. "What now?" he mumbled to himself. He was tired and still in shock from the events of last night. It took him a few seconds to realize there was someone at the front door. It had to be Bulma, who else would it be at this hour. He knew she would come back He got up from the chair and walked to the front door. He was still dressed in his clothes from the night before. He opened the door and a look of anger came over his face. It was Chi-Chi. She rushed into the house.
"Did she come back yet?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see if my friend was okay"
"She's not here"
"Where is Trunks?"
"Sleeping"
"What are you going to tell him?"
"I still haven't thought about that"
"Well you really should. What if she doesn't come back? You will have to cook his meals, take him to school, and do all of the housework. I know you don't know a single thing about being father but its hard work. When Goku died I had two kids to raise on my own. I don't even think you will be able to manage one."
"Thanks for cheering me up."
"I didn't come here to cheer you up."
"I can hire people to take care of Trunks. It won't interrupt my training. He is just going to have to learn that things aren't always so easy."
"That's just great. He is only a child, Vegeta. Bulma was his mother. A child needs a mother and from now on you're going to have to be a mother and a father to him"
Vegeta was getting impatient with her by the second. She had no right to come in here and tell him what he should do. He got up and walked towards her.
"Get out of my house!"
"Fine. I'm going to be coming back. I want to make sure someone is caring for that poor boy."
"You aren't needed here. Go home to your own brats!"
Chi-Chi was furious. She slammed the door as she left. Vegeta wanted to go back to sleep but he couldn't. He was trying to think of what to tell his son. Bulma always took him to school in the morning and made him breakfast. It was a routine that Trunks had grown used to. Trunks would have to be at school soon. Vegeta felt it would be best to wake his son up a bit earlier today. He walked into his son's room. The walls were decorated with dinosaurs and Trunks own drawings. There were toys all over the floor. He looked so peaceful as he slept. He was afraid to wake him. He sat on the bed and put his hand on trunks back.
"Get up" he whispered.
Trunks didn't move.
Vegeta pushed his tiny body lightly.
"Wake up. You need to get ready for school."
Trunks moved wiggled a bit and opened his eyes. He climbed out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Vegeta walked over to where the bathroom was and waited outside for him. Trunks came out of the bathroom and walked into the kitchen. He sat down in a chair; his feet didn't even touch the ground.
"Where is my breakfast?" He asked
"I didn't make it"
"Mommy makes it for me. Get Mommy!"
"Mommy isn't here"
"Where is she?"
"Mommy went away. I'm going to be doing all the things Mommy used to do for you from now on."
"When is she coming back?"
"I don't know"
His son looked confused.
"Okay" he said in a calm tone.
Vegeta couldn't believe how lightly he took it. He must not understand. He didn't really explain it to Trunks. He didn't want to upset him, He was going to have to tell him the truth eventually.
"I want breakfast!"
"What do you want?"
"French Toast"
"I've seen your mom do it a few times. I can try but I can't promise you it will be good.
How about we make it together?"
"Okay Daddy"
"Go in the fridge and get me some eggs and milk."
Vegeta walked over to the oven and turned the stove on. He took out a frying pan and put it on the grill.
"Now what we are going to do is take the bread and put it on the grill so it gets toasted. Then we crack the eggs and put them in a mug. Here you can crack the eggs"
Trunks cracked the eggs but a bit of eggshell got in the cup. Vegeta had to scoop them out.
"Be careful. That part isn't good for you"
Trunks nodded his head.
"I'm going to need some coffee"
Vegeta walked over to the coffee pot and turned it on.
"Okay now we put the eggs on the toast"
"Mommy used to fold the bread and then put eggs on"
"I do it this way"
"Go sit down, we need to wait for it to cook"
Vegeta walked over to the fridge to get some orange juice for his son. He then went to check on his coffee. He hadn't been paying attention to the French toast. It began to burn.
"Shit" he mumbled to himself.
He ran over to the stove but it was too late. He couldn't give that to his son. He turned the stove off and threw the toast in the garbage.
"Trunks, How about I buy you some French toast on the way to school."
"I want some now!"
"You can have it now. Get dressed and I'll fly so you can get it right away. Get moving"
Trunks climbed out of his chair and ran to his room. It suddenly occurred to Vegeta that with Bulma gone he could raise his son anyway he wanted. He wanted Trunks to start training young but she was against it. His son was 5 years old and he didn't even know how to fly yet. Things were going to change.
"Okay Daddy. Let's go"
They flew to a coffee shop and Trunks was able to have his breakfast. Vegeta didn't know where his son's school was. He didn't like the idea of him going to school but the woman thought that education was very important. He would rather they spend all their time training together. The brat was only half saiyan but he planed to make him even stronger than he was. Trunks sat in silence and ate his toast. He was staring out the window. Vegeta wanted to be hard on Trunks but he couldn't. Chi-Chi was right. He grew up without his mother and knew that it was awful. He would have to go gentle on his son.
"Can we walk the rest of the way?"
"Why?"
"I like to."
"Fine"
They got up and walked towards Trunks school. It was only a block away from the coffee shop. Trunks reached out and took Vegeta's hand. They walked hand in hand. They were in front of Trunk's school. All the other parent's were hugging their children but Vegeta just sent Trunks in and waved goodbye. He also noticed that he was the only father there. He flew away from the building back to Capsule Corporation.
He needed a way to deal with all this sudden stress. At this time he couldn't think of anything that sounded better than training. He changed his clothes and flew out into the mountains. He wanted to be secluded. All day long he did nothing but train. His body was exhausted but he kept pushing himself. He felt so alive. He wished he had someone to spar with, If he did he would have been able to take his aggression out on them. The sky began to turn dark. Vegeta suddenly realized he had neglected something very important…His son.
"Shit!" He screamed out loudly.
He was very late. Trunks got out of school at 2 just by looking at the sky he could tell it was already around 4. He looked a wreck and his clothes were filthy. There was no time time to change. He flew off into the darkened sky, hoping that Trunks would be fine. If she were still here this would never happen.
Next Chapter: Vegeta realizes raising a child isn't very easy. Bulma contacts Trunk and explains things to him in her own words. Trunks will realize what is going on and starts to act out. Vegeta and Chi-Chi begin to form a friendship.
