Hallows of Halloween

Chapter Four

Epilogue

Vegeta walked through the front door releasing a shiver as the blast of warm air hit him, all the hairs on his body were standing on edge and he suddenly felt light headed with the drastic change in the temperature from outside.

Bra was still huddled in his arms, now fast asleep and dreaming away; she was so close the prince could feel her little heart thumping and could feel the warmth from her tiny body.

To his disappointment, the woman who had sent him on the dreaded errand was nowhere to be seen; the huge television could be heard from the distant lounge.

Grunting Vegeta held Bra even closer, as he closed the tall door shut and decided to go and put Bra to bed before confronting his mate, he really needed some warming up and he knew the best way possible involved a beautiful blue haired human, and a large comfortable electric bed.

Slowly edging his way up the steps of the main staircase, Vegeta paused to shuffle his sleeping child's weight; slowly she stirred but then nuzzled her head up against his neck and murmured something before sinking back into a nice sleep.

His son's room was still unoccupied; glancing at the clock as he walked past it read 10-34pm.

The prince was surprised, no wonder Bra had crashed out and was resting in his arms; they must have been out for many hours in the dark and cold doing the stupid annual begging ritual.

Just thinking of the cold outside made the prince shudder, Bra did not notice as he continued to walk fast along the hall leading to his daughter's bedroom.

Slowly opening the door, an even warmer blast of air hit him; Bra lazily opened an eye as she bought her arms up around her father's neck and began hugging him.

The radiator must have been on for several hours to generate the hot temperature of the bright pink bedroom, it was even warmer than the remainder of the huge house.

Slowly the Saiyan prince lowered the blue haired princess onto the bed, as she relaxed into the soft springy pillow letting sleep claim her once again.

Vegeta could do nothing but feel pride, and contentment at the sight of his sleeping daughter as she laid before him on the bed; all other negative thoughts had gone from his head as he just stood and watched her gentle breathing and light snoring.

Gently he pulled her pink fluffy undersheets up, and then her equally pink pony duvet as he stroked her soft hair upon passing his hands up.

"Good night princess, sleep tight." Vegeta whispered as he looked about the room, before gently placing a soft kiss on the top of her forehead.

Blushing he quickly departed the bedroom and headed in the direction of the kitchen hoping that somebody would be around to make him some food, after the cold dark babysitting round, his stomach was grumbling terribly at the neglection it had been receiving.

Taking a short stroll down the long halls, Vegeta had time to think about the way his behaviour was changing, it was almost out of his control and seemed even instinctive.

Then it hit him, he didn't care what his father or predecessors would think of him; he had done so much more than they had ever done, he had gone further, reached new levels of fitness and had something even more important… A family he could care for and protect…A family that actually cared back for him and doted upon him…

Mentally vowing that he would protect them with his life, he found he had already reached the kitchen without even realising it.

The bright lighting under the closed white door was a clear indication that somebody had recently been, in his third favourite part of the house.

First being the bedroom, and second being the gravity room.

Cautiously entering the kitchen he prepared to attack any invaders the ki ball in his hand instinctively forming was a clear indication that he meant business.

A figure was crouched over the refrigerator humming an annoying tune, quietly and stealthily the prince stalked up before wrapping his arms tightly around the slender waist of his mate.

Placing a passionate kiss on her neck, he greeted her with an even tighter cuddle not releasing his hands from her waist.

"Your not even going to say hello." Bulma grumbled, before she moaned lightly at the touch of him still kissing her softly upon her neck; praying that he wouldn't leave a bruise for her meeting the following morning she used all her force to swivel around and face the tantalising Saiyan prince.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she stared into his sexy coal dark eyes before placing a satisfying kiss upon his awaiting lips.

"I'm hungry." Vegeta muttered as he kissed her back and slammed her body against the now closed refrigerator door.

Bulma gasped as his hand reached under her jumper ready to render her bare as he had done the night before in their bedroom.

"You horny son of a bitch!" Bulma yelped before Vegeta raised his spare hand to her mouth.

"Shhh, the brat is asleep." He whispered as he gazed into her beautiful blue orbs searchingly.

Bulma gritted her teeth quickly removing his unwanted hand from her jumper, he was messing about in the kitchen like they were teenagers.

Vegeta purred as his hand rested down on her thigh as he stroked it seductively.

"Mate, join me in bed." He smirked before she growled lightly.

"Wife." She corrected as she pushed him away and walked past his solid body.

"Whatever, your mine though."

Bulma rolled her eyes at his usual possessiveness and smiled to herself; he looked so cute dressed in those human clothes… he looked dead irresistible without any…

Quickly swallowing her glass of water she had left on the side, she felt his hands wrap back around her waist. "You owe me woman…" he purred menacingly into her ear.

Bulma grabbed hold of his hands, and then remained motionless for a few moments just feeling the warmth from his body flow through to hers.

Just lately her husband had been getting much more cuddly, at every given opportunity he would latch upon her and try and drag her somewhere to make love.

She had to admit, she did enjoy it when he touched her so gently and lovingly, at night she would sometimes awake in his arms and feel like a giant teddy bear nestled in with his body, although she was sometimes just as bad on other nights; forcing him to snuggle with her and share his body heat in the cold air.

Leaning her head against his rock hard chest, she sighed contently and closed her eyes. "How did you and Bra get on? Did she enjoy herself?" Bulma asked quietly as she lounged on her husband's torso.

Vegeta snorted, "Of course she enjoyed herself she was with her father; on the otherhand I will not permit her to do such a ludicrous act again Bulma."

"What do you mean ludicrous act?"

"You know full well what I'm referring to, and quite honestly I think it's an insult to allow our daughter to go out and take part."

Bulma pulled herself from his chest, and turned and glared to her mate. "How dare you Vegeta!" she clenched her fists into tight balls, then continued. "Your daughter wanted you to do one thing to make her happy, and I know for a fact Trunks always wished you took him out Trick or Treating, or to see Santa Claus!"

"DON'T BRING THE BOY INTO THIS!" Vegeta growled, releasing his grip from her waist and folding his arms, the mood between the two was quickly evaporating and the heat of passion was soon turning into a fiery flame.

"Sheesh Vegeta, its trick or treating! Everybody does it as a kid!"

"Well I for one certainly never did, I also never reduced myself to begging on peoples doors dressed as an idiot."

"Oh shut up you cantankerous arrogant Royal pain in the ass!"

Vegeta growled dangerously, "You realise that one man got a little over friendly with your daughter."

Bulma froze, what was Vegeta trying to say; was he simply being over protective as usual? She was sure if anything had happened to his precious little girl there probably wouldn't be a galaxy left, let alone a planet.

A sudden chill shot through her blood as she stared into his fiery eyes, he didn't look as though he was hiding the truth. "Vegeta…say that again"

"You heard me."

"WHATTTTTTT!!!!!!"

Vegeta covered up his sensitive ears, as his wife's shrill shrieks rocked the kitchen. "My baby! Where's my little girl!?" Bulma yelled as she frantically ran from the kitchen, knocking over some cutlery as she thundered from the room.

The former space pirate sighed loudly, and then re-appeared before his enraged mate. "She's fine, she knows nothing."

Confused at her husband's calmness about the situation, she settled onto the carpet of the hall and tried to make out what was going on, just moments before they had been making out and then he drops the bomb shell that their kid had been touched by some dirty old man

Vegeta followed his wife and sat down on the red plush carpet beside her, quickly and angrily he explained what he had witnessed from the bottom of the driveway. He skipped out the minor details of half killing the man before his daughter, and then waited for Bulma's reaction.

She remained silent for a few moments until she placed her hand on his, "Are you sure he wasn't just…"

Vegeta growled loudly and Bulma felt the rage pulsating through his body, the prince did not answer and yet she could sense what he was feeling.

Fortunately the Royal Saiyan had been there, if he hadn't… she dreaded to think… it could have been so much worse….

Quietly Bulma pulled herself up from the floor her skirt rising a few inches, "I'm just gonna check she's sleeping okay."

Vegeta remained where he was sitting, and focussed his attention on his mates beautiful buttocks as she walked; destroying the human could wait until tomorrow; he would probably have to hunt him down in anycase. His punishment was already planned…

As he continued to stare at her beautiful body, she turned around and smiled slightly. "Thanks Vegeta…"

As he cocked his head to the side in confusion, the blue haired genius rolled her eyes and chuckled. "For protecting Bra."

"Of course I would protect her, it's my duty is it not?"

Bulma walked back to him, and then pulled his shirt closer giving him a passionate and long kiss; a kiss that was just the foretaste of what was to come Vegeta was sure of that.

He certainly hoped so; after all he was owed it for taking his brat out on such a cold and dark night.

Quickly getting up from the floor he followed his mate to check on Bra, it was after all in the same direction as their bedroom.

A few hours later

Yawning gently Vegeta shifted his weight from the mattress and looked about the bedroom that him and the woman slept in; after much debating she had forced him to move into her bedroom all those years ago, it had been a gradual process with the prince resting in his room some nights, and her joining him; and then others when they stayed in this room.

Looking down to the sleeping form of his beautiful mate, he sighed contently and nuzzled closer into her soft blue hair.

Neither of them were wearing any clothes, they had been discarded on the floor the moment they had returned from Bra's room; with some items even torn off on the landing.

Deciding that it had certainly been worthwhile taking Bra trick or treating after all,

The prince was even contemplating taking her somewhere for Christmas if he got the same sort of reward from his wife, he didn't even know that she had bought that sexy transparent blue gown it had been apparently hiding in her wardrobe from when she dated Yamcha, but Vegeta liked it… he liked it very very much.

It was one of the only items of clothing that he carefully removed from her gorgeous body; all the rest had been torn away as they made passionate love in their quarters until the early hours of the morning.

Looking at the moon outside, it was still really early; Vegeta judged about 3.00 am, gently he stroked his wife's hair as she slept and then placed a kiss on her neck as he closed his eyes and allowed his emotions to run wild for this beautiful woman.

"I love you Bulma…" the orphaned prince whispered so quietly that it sounded like a gentle breath of air.

Bulma smiled to herself, as she allowed sleep to claim her once again; Vegeta was none the wiser that she had heard him confess his emotions.

This was the prince's favourite time of the day, he enjoyed spending time nestled close with his woman with nobody to interrupt; and whilst she slept she couldn't detect how he was really feeling. It was the time he could actually let his emotions out, usually he would awaken at this period and just spend a while staring at the sleeping form of his queen and thinking.

Vegeta slowly edged his way from the bed, as he little by little made his way to their ensuite bathroom, the prince needed to relieve himself badly; he blamed the bottle of water he had guzzled after their love making session, which Bulma had left by her side of the bed.

His bladder felt as though it was going to explode under the pressure, as he wiped his sleepy eyes and yawned once again.

The door to the bathroom seemed so far away, sitting back down on the corner of the bed he once again rubbed his eyes and refrained from closing them.

It was not fair, his mate was curled up in the warm sound asleep and dreaming away, and he was getting cold and fighting to take those few dreaded steps to the lavatory.

Growling angrily, he pulled himself together and finally placed his feet on the soft carpet.

The bed shifted slightly as he got up and shuffled the few metres to the bathroom; an owl outside the window made the super warrior jump slightly before he quietly opened the white door and tiptoed inside.

"Stupid bird." He grumbled as he found the light switch button, and finally a bright blinding light filled the luxurious ensuite bathroom.

Bulma mumbled in her sleep, and Vegeta smirked to himself as he heard his name being mentioned.

Quickly he lifted the toilet seat and done his business; as the urine hit the water in the toilet he closed his eyes contently.

Something in the house moved just as the prince was about to flush; a small clatter followed and then a door shutting quietly.

Vegeta paused, remaining alert for any other noises.

A crash of a glass bottle hitting a bin, and then a shuffle of footsteps soon followed the shutting door; Vegeta couldn't refrain himself as he let out an angry curse.

The boy had finally found his way home, and had 'disturbed the prince from his slumber' well… it was what Vegeta intended to say in the morning when he rudely awakened his dozing son with a bucket of cold water.

Smirking at the thought, the Saiyan slowly made his way from the bathroom and padded across the bedroom back to his comfortable warm bed.

As the prince found his spot on the mattress and snuggled up behind the sleeping form of Bulma, something big, round and orange caught his attention…

It was perched in a dark corner on the top of a wardrobe… the slitted eyes and evil cackling mouth were staring daggers straight into the princes dark wide orbs.

Vegeta blinked hoping he was having a strange nightmare, pinching himself on the arm he found it went numb this was no nasty dream.

That evil orange head was as real as they come… a bead of sweat trickled from the Saiyan's forehead landing onto the mattress as he pulled the covers up quickly and submerged his head on his mate's warm soft body.

There were only two things that scared the prince… those evil cursed heads, which stared at him with such evil eyes and worms…

Genuinely he feared them, he found himself shaking and trying to close his eyes as he pulled himself under Bulma's neck as she stirred in her sleep blissfully unaware that her husband was cowering with his head half beneath her.

Something in a different room moved, and Vegeta restrained himself from letting out a shriek as he opened his eyes and flittered them around the room quickly.

The head was in the same place it had been, Bulma groaned as she moved and turned herself onto her stomach then released a cute little snore as she settled back among the soft sheets.

The eyes of the pumpkin almost seemed to narrow as the prince breathed deeply, hastily he cowered as he pulled himself under all the blankets and buried himself in the middle of the queen size bed.

He didn't care that the sheets were suffocating, and the lack of air posing a slight problem; all he cared about was being out of eyesight from the evil living orange thing on the top of the closet…
