These Things Happen

"Don't tell him. I'm not ready for everyone to know yet."

"Hey Hun what's up? You're where. He's WHAT! Well when the hell did he decide to do that. And he didn't tell any of us. You're kidding. When? WHAT! Yes I'm still at Bulma's. Now. Goku I really don't think, Goku… Goku..." She closed her phone and then looked at Bulma panicked.

"Chi."

"You have to get up and get into the shower right now. Goku is on his way here right now. He's taking Vegeta to the Army office." Chi Chi was pulling her off the bed urging her to get ready.

"For what?" Bulma blurted as Chi Chi helped strip her out of her clothes.

"He enlisted a few weeks back and he's leaving… TODAY. He's going for basic training." Chi Chi answered as she practically dragged her friend back towards the bathroom. While Bulma showered Chi scrambled to get rid of all the evidence. When Bulma came out she went to her closet and pulled out a pair of low rise jeans, a black midriff top, and black DC'S.

"You know you won't be able to wear those much longer." Chi teased lightly as she made the bed. This wasn't a situation to laugh about but being overly serious right now would only add more stress.

"That's why I picked it." Taking a seat at her vanity she set to brushing out her hair.

"You do make up. I do hair. Team work." Chi Chi instructed as she took over the brushing.

"I do need make up don't I." Bulma smiled sadly looking at her still pale complexion. The door bell rang snapping her out of her daze and into a frenzy. After a few short minutes there was a knock on her door.

"Bulma honey it's Goku and Vegeta. If you're not feeling up to company I'll let them know dear." Her mother offered.

"No mom. It's okay. Send them up." Bulma called as Chi finished spraying her hair and she finished her eye shadow. It was as they were walking towards Bulma's bed that Chi Chi noticed all the doctors pamphlets for baby information and such. Grabbing them quickly she shoved them under the bed. When the door opened they both were laying sprawled out on the bed laughing.

"What's so funny?" Goku asked as they got up and moved to the sofa. He sat down next to his girl friend.

"Perhaps she has finally caught sight of herself in the mirror." Vegeta smirked as he sat on the arm of the couch. Bulma could smell his cologne and it was making her sick.

"Excuse me." Quietly but quickly she got up and made her way to the bathroom.

"The woman agrees with me at last. You two idiots are enough o make people sick." He snickered earning a dirty look from the brunette.

"You're such an ass Vegeta." Chi Chi scolded getting up and going to the bathroom door. "Bulma are you okay in there."

"I'm fine." she answered before opening the bathroom door and walking back towards the sofa.

"Hey are you sure? We were going to go to the fair today." Goku stood and stretched his arms above his head grinning.

"I thought you had to take Vegeta to the office." Chi asked confused.

"Nah not til later." He answered slipping an arm around her waist.

"The fair." Bulma blanched thinking of all the food and the rides.

"What's wrong woman? Afraid of getting a little sun." She didn't like the way he was looking at her. It was as if he was taking an inventory of everything he saw out of line.

"No." She snapped.

"Good then it's settled. Let's go." Crossing his arms smugly he raised a curious eyebrow towards her. Instead of glaring at him she had this odd look on her face. When he had crossed his arms over his chest she could not help but remember the way those arms had felt being wrapped around her. Such a thought had caught her completely off guard. She didn't really know what to think about it. Frowning she turned and walked back into her closet to don a pair of shorts.

"Mom we're going to the fair." Bulma called as they came down the stairs. Her mother was in the kitchen where she usually was.

"Bulma honey, are you sure that in your condition that's such a good idea."

"Condition?" Both guys asked looking over their friend. She looked perfectly fine to them.

"I agree with the old one. In her condition the only place she needs to go is to an insane asylum."

"Now Vegeta, that's not a very nice thing to say. Sometimes these things happen. And you can't very well lock someone up at a crazy house just for that. I mean who would have known that…"

"That those tacos last night weren't cooked all the way through. I'm glad I had a burger." Chi Chi interrupted. "Maybe tonight we'll do Italian just to be safe."

Mrs. Briefs smiled sheepishly getting the hint before looking at her daughter. "Well if you're sure the food poisoning will not hinder your fun. Then just be careful."

"I will mom." Bulma smiled before stepping out the door.
