The next year flew by fast. During the day, Vegeta trained more than ever, anxious to become more and more powerful before the androids came. At night, it was perfect. And even though he never told Bulma he loved her, well, actions speak louder than words, and Bulma gave up on her hopes of hearing them.


After a long hard labor, Trunks was born, and Bulma had thought she ALMOST saw Vegeta's eyes tear up. She could tell her husband was proud of her also. No mere Earthling could withstand that kind of labor, and Bulma later found out that Chi Chi had gone through the same thing with Gohan.


The last night before the day the androids would come, Bulma could sense that something was wrong during their act of intimacy. He touched her like he would never be able to again. Bulma started to worry. The androids must be really powerful if Vegeta is concerned.


Bulma took his head in her hands, which had been kissing the crook of her neck, and made him look into her eyes. "Will you come back?" she asked.


He stared at her for awhile, until he finally answered, "I doubt that their power will exceed my own, but I fear that it will not be over when they are diminished. Something else is coming, something powerful."


Bulma almost cried from happiness. "And you admit this to me?"


"You are my mate by Saiyen's terms, my wife by Earth's terms, and by my terms . . .my friend." Vegeta answered, as if this explained everything.


Bulma tried REALLY hard not to cry, but a tear slipped down her face, and she let out a laugh and hugged his neck.




A/N: hey guys, if you want me to right a humor fic about when Bulma gives birth, just review and tell me. I have some ideas for it. ::grins wickedly::
