4.
Vegeta sat in his office, and huffed out a big breath of air. He could not get her off of his mind. Ever since that night almost ten years ago, he just wanted to see her again, touch her but he couldn't. She wouldn't see him, downright refused which cut him deep. Nobody had seen her in ten years, she had started working out of the spotlight, behind the scene. She had moved again somewhere in the country, no one knew where. Even Chi-Chi and Kakkarot hadn't seen her in ten years, she just sent greeting cards and Christmas presents through the mail. It was as if she didn't want to be around anybody, it really bothered Vegeta. He had been an ass to her the night after they slept together. He acted as if she was a bothersome and that night was a mistake. In his mind he was doing her a favor, they both need to move on officially. They had, had their chance with each other and it didn't work, why would it work now? He had hurt her in the past, he didn't deserve her. After that night he couldn't live a lie, and told his wife everything. She had promptly asked for a divorce, which he gladly obliged. He had run into the meathead a month after the party and he told him that Bulma told him everything and they had decided to be friends. He could tell that Broly loved her still, this had to be the woman's doing. Why did he have to be thinking about this woman after ten years? It was frustrating! He needed to just clear his head and he knew exactly where to go.
He pulled up to the beach and stepped out of his car. It was so cold outside, as it was a week before Thanksgiving. He wrapped his scarf around his neck and put his jacket on, heading down to the sand. He was looking at his feet as he was walking, counting the steps he took, when he noticed someone out of his peripheral vision in front of him. He stopped dead in his tracks shocked by what he saw. She had long wavy blue locks down her back, she was wearing black leggings, black knee high boots, a black long jacket, black sweater and a red scarf. It was her. It was his Bulma. He froze on that very spot not sure if he remembered how to breath. It was then she turned around smiling looked up and saw him and immediately frowned.
"Woman?"
"Vegeta?" She said nervously. God it was good to her her voice again, she sounded like an angel.
"What are you doing here?" She asked bluntly.
"This is my thinking spot." He said smirking.
"Is that why I see smoke coming out of your ears." She stated.
"Haha very funny. Where have you been Woman? Nobody has seen you in 10 years." He asked curiously.
"Thats really none of your business Vegeta. Now I must be going I need to meet up with someone, they went for to look for shells and will be back any minute now."
"Not until you tell me why the hell you left without saying anything to anybody." He said a little harshly.
"Like YOU have any right to ask me that! You treated me like a five dollar hooker after that night. You are dead to me. Just let me be, forget you saw me here today. Im over this and Im over you." She said readjusting her scarf. The words she said made him wince, he did treat her badly but only because he thought she deserved better. It was when she was adjusting her scarf that he noticed she had the cheap ring he had won her at a fair when the were dating on a chain around her neck. He smirked at her and pointed at it and said, "Then uh why are you still wearing that cheap ring I won you at the fair around your neck?"
She looked down a huffed, holding the ring in her hand closed her hand around it and pulled it hard breaking the chain. She held it in her hand and put it in his hands looked up at him and said, "It's to remind myself to watch who I trust. To not get attached to a man ever again. Please leave me be."
He looked over to the right when he saw young boy with purple hair walking towards them. Strange, purple hair is a weird color. Bulma looked over and looked back up to Vegeta, "I gotta go." and started walking fast towards the boy. Vegeta started to turn toward his car when he saw the boy running to her to give her a hug when he heard it. The boy said, "HEY MOM look what I found." Vegeta's jaw dropped to the ground. Bulma looked over to Vegeta with a worried look on her face. She quickly changed her face so her son wouldn't see. She said, "Yeah kid thats a pretty big shell! Hey you hungry?"
"Duh Mom of course Im hungry. I want a steak."
"Of course that sounds great." she said. She saw Trunks look right behind her. Shit she thought. She turned around to see Vegeta inches from her face.
Vegeta was confused, very much confused at the moment. It then hit him like a ton of bricks. No fucking way. He needed to know. He walked over there behind Bulma, she turned around with a look on her face that was telling him to not ask. He didn't give a shit, he needed to know. He looked at the boy and said, " Hey boy how old are you?" Bulma was quick to put her hand in front of Trunks before he could say anything and said, "Don't answer that. Lets go." Vegeta wasn't playing games right now.
"I'll ask again, HOW OLD ARE YOU?" He asked louder. Trunks was getting tired of this. He looked at the man with funny hair and said, "Im nine, who are you?" Bulma just closed her eyes trying not to let a tear fall down her face. She looked up at Vegeta who just looked at her with hurt.
"He's nine? Am I? Am I his father?" He asked her.
"No, my dad left us a long time ago." Trunks said sadly. Bulma walked up to Trunks giving him a hug, when Vegeta asked her again, "Am I his father?"
She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and said, "Yes."
Trunks looked up at her shocked, "What? My father is Vegeta? From Ouji enterprises? Why didn't you tell me?" He pushed out of her arms looked at her and ran down the beach.
"TRUNKS! Get back here!" She yelled at him.
She watched him run to the rocks and sit on them looking sad and hurt. She knew he wasn't going anywhere and turned to see Vegeta with a look of pure anger on his face. She knew this was a long overdue conversation. He threw up his hands in aggravation.
"How could you do this to me?" His mind was reeling. He had a million thoughts running through his head. The number one being that he made her feel all alone. She had to do this all alone because he treated her like shit. If he had known things would be so much different.
"To you Vegeta? Really to you? You treated me like I was nothing but a whore. When I found out I was pregnant I knew that I could not tell you. I didn't want you to disappoint and hurt Trunks, the way you had me."
"Don't you think that was my choice? You had no right to not tell me. I would have been there had I known. You know what, I am not going anywhere now. He is my Kid too."
Bulma huffed out in annoyance, but he was right. Now that Trunks knew he would probably want to get to know his dad. "You're right."
"Great now let's try not to mess things up with him. Im going to go talk to him." He said starting to head toward the boy sitting on the rocks over looking the beach.
Bulma stepped in front of him, "No let me talk to him first, he doesn't even know you."
"And whose fault is that?" He couldn't help it he was so upset. In the matter of 30 minutes he learned he had a 9 year old son. He missed everything with him.
Bulma gave him a look of guilt. She turned and walked up to the boy and sat down beside him. She embraced him. And whispered, "Im so sorry hunny."
"You lied to me mom, you have never lied to me. You taught me to always tell the truth no matter what. I can't believe this." He said hurt.
"I know kid, I know. It's just he hurt me really bad, he broke my heart. He wasn't a good person. But, you are right I should not have lied to you."
"I can take it you know, you could have told me the truth." He said. this caused Bulma to smile, her son was a tough one like his dad.
"Can you forgive me?" She asked him moving a piece of hair out of his face.
"Yes mom, but I am still mad at you."
"I know. Ill make it up to you I promise." She said
"I want to meet him, talk to him alone."
"Of course, let me go and get him okay?" She told him while he shook his head yes in response. She patted him on the knee and he helped her get up. She walked over to Vegeta who had watched them. She looked like a natural mother. It made him feel things for her he hadn't felt in a long time. He had others things to be thinking about than that at the moment.
"He wants to talk to you." He nodded his head getting ready to walk over to him when Bulma grabbed his arm stopping him, he looked at her and she said," Don't break his heart." He nodded and said, " I won't."
He sat down beside the boy and turned to him to look at him, really look at him. He could see perfectly that the boy had a lot of his features, there was no denying that the boy was his. The boy looked at him and said, "So you're my dad huh?"
Vegeta chuckled, "Yeah I am. Im Vegeta."
The boy smiled at him and said, "Im Trunks."
"Sorry I wasn't there for you." Vegeta never said sorry for any reason but he knew this needed to be said especially to his son.
"It's okay you didn't know." Trunks said smiling at him.
"Hey listen, don't be mad at your mom. What she told you is true. I was not good to her back then, she deserved better." Vegeta said to his son. Son, that was weird to say he thought to himself.
"Well you are here now, and thats what counts." Trunks said happily.
"That's right. Im not going anywhere again, I promise." He said, and he meant it. It had his honor and he wold not turn his back on his flesh and blood, ever.
They talked for another 20 minutes getting to know each other when he heard his son's stomach rumble.
"Hey, how about we all go get something to eat?" Vegeta asked.
"Hell ya! Im hungry." Trunks yelled. Out of nowhere Bulma yelled, "Watch your mouth!"
"Sorry mom." Trunks mumbled.
They all headed to her car to drive to the restaurant. Vegeta put his car in a capsule and hopped in the front seat of her new black jeep.
Trunks put on his head phones knowing that his parents would want to talk. Bulma looked in the rearview seeing him smirk at her. God that kid was just like his dad. It made her chuckle. Vegeta was just staring at her in wonder. "He's a lot like you you know. It scares me sometimes."
"You weren't ever going to tell me about him were you?" He asked wanting to know the answer.
"No, no I wasn't. I didn't want him to get hurt."
"I am not going to mess up with him."
"Like you did with me? I was serious, you and I are done, I want you to know that getting involved in this situation." She said looking over to him for a second before turning her attention back to the road in front of her.
He started at her taking in all of what she just said. He knew what she meant. "I understand, But as I told you I am not going anywhere. We have a lot to discuss. You know you have to tell your best friends. Chi-Chi and Kakkarot will be upset you didn't tell them."
Chi-Chi and Goku, that was a sad situation. She wanted to cry at the though of hurting them like she did. But she couldn't risk Vegeta finding out. She just hoped that they could forgive her. "I know" She whispered with a tear rolling down her cheek.
"Hey I will go with you tomorrow and we will tell them together okay." He said looking at her. She nodded yes in response.
"He is all that matters now." Bulma said looking at her now sleeping son in the rearview mirror.
"Hey why don't we go to my house and eat. This is going to be a long conversation we need to have regarding custody and what not and I am sure he won't want you to leave right away. You can get to know him." She said.
"I would like that." He said.
"No funny business!" She said looking at him.
"I promise." He replied. He could tell looking at her that her heart was closed off. She was different. She had walls up and he didn't like it one bit. He knew in that moment he wanted to try and break them down again. He wanted her and he would not give up.
Wow! Let me know what you think! I was inspired by a T.V show comment if you know! :D Next they have to tell Goku and Chi-Chi. Do you think they will get back together? Who knows what I might do next!
