Vegeta picked that very inopportune time to take a break from his training, and walked in the door.
Bulma was rattled out of her shock as she saw him walk in. She got up quickly and stood in front of him, hands on her hips. He frowned.
"What is the matter, onna?" he asked.
"YOU IMPREGNATED ME, YOU BASTARD! THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG!"
"Well that's usually what happens." he said sarcastically.
"Chi Chi," Bulma said. "Could you leave us for a moment?"
"No problem," she said, getting up. "I have to check on my baby Gohan and his studies."
When the door was shut, Bulma continued. "Oh, and I'm MARRIED TO YOU?! Haven't you guys heard of one-night-stands?"
Vegeta was trying to control his anger, but it was worsening by the minute. "No, we're BONDED."
"Same thing!" Bulma said hastily.
Vegeta walked past her, heading for the stairs, but Bulma stepped in his way.
He looked down at her, and saw her blue eyes filled with tears, and when she spoke, her voice was filled with hurt, hope, and anger.
"Just tell me one thing, Vegeta."
"What's that?"
"Tell me that you didn't want to bond just so you could have a son." A tear slipped down her face despite herself. "Tell me that you did it because you love me. Vegeta, please, for me. No one else is here to hear you say it, and I won't tell a soul. I just have to hear it."
He started to walk past her, but she caught his arms and stepped in front of him again. "I have to hear it!" she screamed desperately, her voice cracking.
Vegeta brushed past her, and she rushed at him, seeing red, pounding her fists into his back, screaming, "ARE YOU SO WEAK YOU CAN'T SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS?!!?"
He turned around sharply, and Bulma would have been knocked over he hadn't have grabbed her wrists to hold her up and stop the assault at the same time.
"Listen to me, onna, and listen carefully, because I will only say this once." She nodded, her hopes rising with every beat of her heart. "I would never bond with someone if I had only wanted a son. If that was the case, I would have bonded with someone else a LONG time ago."
Bulma's hopes came crashing down around her, and she looked into his eyes, searching for something, ANYTHING.
"Well," she said, after she could collect her thoughts. "If that's the best I can get out of you, then it will have to do." Vegeta let go of her wrists, and she watched him as he went upstairs.
A/N: oooo that was deep! lol Bulma got a little hysterical there o.O who would have thought? lol ;)
