I turned back to Bulma, watching as she rocked the silent Trunks.
"After that I just started living with you both," I said. "Almost immediately Trunks and I had this strange bond. We seemed to have this need to be close to each other. As time passed, we grew closer and found that our bond was unique. We asked Gohan about it once, wandering if it was some kind of Saya-jin thing, but he didn't know." I stopped, finding it hard to explain. How could I fit into words the bond I shared with the purple haired saya-jin? They seemed cheap. The bond that had always been there and grown as the years past to become this almost desperate need for one another couldn't be conveyed with mere words.
Bulma nodded. I looked over at Baby Trunks and smiled.
"Can I...hold him?" I asked hesitantly. She smiled and handed me the infant who looked up at me curiously. His cerulean eyes locked with mine and he smiled, nuzzling into my breast. I wandered if he could feel the same bond the Trunks from my time and I shared.
I watched as he closed his eyes, content to doze in my arms. I reached up and reverently traced his soft features, feeling the suppleness of his skin. I didn't even look up as I felt the familiar Ki signatures land in the front yard. Bulma stood and walked into the other room where I heard a commotion begin. I cradled baby Trunks, rocking him gently, watching as he slept and ignored it. I felt him before I heard him. I felt his Ki, smelled the scent of his skin and knew he was behind me. I looked up to see him at my shoulder, watching me with a small smile that did nothing to hide the foreboding in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked. He shook his head and bent down, pressing his forehead to my temple. My free hand came up and cupped his cheek as I felt a torrent of emotions radiating from him.
"Trunks..." I began.
"I need sleep," he groaned, moving to kneel beside me and press his face into my neck.
"Yes, you do," I said. He stood up and took my hand, pulling me to my feet.
"Come, there's a lot to talk about," he said, leading me into the other room where everyone sat.
