Chapter 4

Bulma lay on a bed that wasn't as comfy as she was used to, she heard muffled talking and a baby crying. She opened her blue eyes she saw she was in a old cabin with a roaring fire place with her clothes having over it . She saw how simple yet homely this place seemed to be, it felt familiar yet different.

" Where am I?" She said as her voice cracked dryly

" Ah your awake Bulma, I'm so happy." A voice called to her happy

She looked to the source of the voice it was a person who knew her name, she saw a young looking man with familiar looking hair holding a baby trying to sooth the child. She saw just beyond him a beautiful woman cooking food looking to him with a smile.

Bulma saw his wide happy smile she had seen it before long ago, she tried to move but her body ached brushed from the crash and her father in laws viscous abuse.

"Whoa don't move, Chi-Chi said your banged up pretty bad, I don't want you to hurt yourself anymore." The man said worried

Who where these people? She was a family somewhere she didn't know but the man she felt she knew him from somewhere.

"Who are you? Where is this? Did I make it Earth? " She asked weakly

The man blinked confused as his child quietened down.

"Bulma it's me Goku, we met here long ago.. Me and Chi-Chi made grandpa's old house into our home." Goku explained softly

Bulma blinked now she looked shocked, she fought though the pain she felt and sat up grabbed his face happy and cried.

" Goku.. It's really you.. I never thought I'd see you again.. That means I'm on Earth I made it back safely."

Goku looked around to Chi-Chi panicked as he was holding his son Gohan closely, while Bulma held his face crying.

" Your all growing up like me now wow. " She said in shock " So who is this your holding and who that beautiful woman?" Bulma asked weakly

Bulma relaxed down now as she was in a lot pain, she lay down as Goku stood laughing.

" This is my son Gohan, we named him after my grandpa. That's my wife Chi-Chi she's cooking a meal that will you feel better. "

Bulma smiled and looked shocked.

" Wow your a husband and father now, how strange.. I'm marriage too but it wasn't by choice.. I ran away from him and his family.."

Chi-Chi brought the meal over looking concerned, she took her son and put him in a crib. She noticed Bulma observing Goku looking at him almost shocked.

" Goku do you know what you are cause I met people with a tail like yours?" She asked " I am married to the Prince of that race, they wanted to keep me on their ship without being able to see anyone I care for again or explore the vastness of space.."

The husband and wife looked at one another and Chi-Chi answered

"Goku is a Saiyan right? His older brother came to Earth and told us all about his and Goku's origins, he settled down somewhere. I guess your the one who allowed the Saiyans to come and live here on Earth through your marriage to the Prince of all Saiyans. " Chi- Chi responded

Bulma nods sadly

" So even you know of my fate.. I can't go back.." Bulma said sadly

" Why your the reason I can live like this with Goku. What if you leaving breaks things down." chi- Chi asked concerned

" Their monsters! Goku is kind, but my husband only wants me for two things.. The king is a cruel and a horrid man! She yelled angrily

Gohan cried again after Bulma yelled those words and she grabs her mouth

" Oh sorry.. " Bulma apologised softly

Chi-Chi picked Gohan up and shh him to sleep again . Bulma looked to Goku now how looked at her.

" Did he hurt you badly, I know you're hurt from your crash but.. I saw other injuries"

" My husband hurt me once.. He hasn't since.. The King's punched me in my face and kicked me around…." She explained upset

Goku clenched his fists.

" I wish I could of protected you." He muttered

Bulma eat her food in silence now, she couldn't believe how much had changed, there was a strange distance with Goku that she couldn't put her finger on, she knew the Saiyans would come for her, if she wasn't turned in by Goku or his wife she'd soon be found.

…

'Those happy moments I once experienced seem like a distant memory now.'

She sat outside the log cabin in a chair now as she watched Goku play with his son swinging him around carefuly.

' Those fun times have past, I can never go back to them.'

Bulma felt so sore still from the crash and the abuse , but she forced herself to move and get this air and watched in despair as Goku had the family life she would no longer have. Goku loved Chi-Chi so much and seeing him so happy with his family like this made her jealous. She was a good a faking happiness, but why shouldn't she be good at it she'd had so much practice lately.

' I wonder If what Chi-Chi said was true or not..is the alliance so fragile that me freeing myself from violence is going to ruin the peace my marriage brought. '

…

Vegeta walked on the greenery of Earth with arms crossed, he had arrived on Earth and found the destroyed ship the woman had made. He knew it was hers because she designed things in certain way, but no one inside the ship.

The scent though it was mixed of her, a woman and two Saiyans, yet one Saiyan had a unknowing scent to him it was unknowing. He felt compelled to find her now as he mind went into a blind rage as his mind went to the most dangerous side as he thought of the other Saiyan trying to steal his woman. He ventured through the countryside till he caught site of the blue haired beauty who had ran off, her face bruised as where other parts of her body. She wore unflattering clothing and she was observing a man a child and a woman with akin of jealously on her face.

He walked forward now and saw the man tapped her shoulder smile down at her saying something and Bulma waved her hands around , what was this man to her? his tail meant he was a Saiyan but how could that woman know one?

He moved closer he made himself knowing.

" Woman there you are " Vegeta announced

Bulma looked at him and clung to Goku in fear.

" Chi-Chi get Gohan inside away from this.

Chi-Chi took action, she took her son away from the danger and Goku eyes narrowed.

" Heh is that how you react to your husband? Vegeta asked coldly " Its not like I hurt you, you think I accept what my father did." Vegeta said shyly " And who is this your with hmm?"

" You hurt me once for talking back, your as bad as your father, are your jealous hmm ? This is my friend I was talking about? The Saiyan I was friends with on Earth."

Vegeta frowned now with anger.

" I would never touch you like that again, I felt that pain he give you… I don't want you to feel it again and this is your friend ? He was real interesting..."

Bulma shot a angry look and moved forward. Goku stood bewildered by it all.

" You think that will sway me back.. and off course he is my friend. I had a life before you!"

Bulma give him a disgusted look, she turned her back on him. Dammed be the backlash of her action, if the alliance couldn't last with her then it wasn't worth keeping it up. Sure she was selfish in a manner but no woman should face threats of violence of have it happen.

Vegeta stepped forward dangerously and Goku took a fighting stance, Bulma turned her head up at him.

" Can't you do anything without violence? You Saiyans disgust me, Goku is the only one of your kind that is kind if not naive. I only married you to make sure an alliance is formed but if it falls apart because I chose to stay here with my freedom, free from men like you and your father then let everything fall apart."

" You are naive woman, we didn't destroy Earth thanks to your father's offer,if you do this we will wipe out humankind and live here without your help."

" Does freiza not have his site set on planet Earth, he will destroy Earth like your home world. I hold the key to a weapon that can destroy him."

There was silence for a moment.

" Fine I'll take you by force home, you who doesn't know her place as a Princess of the Saiyans really does need to be taught your place.

He flew forward and Bulma froze as Goku took the attack for her

" I won't let you hurt my best friend like that!"

" Goku. " Bulma said in shock

Chi-Chi watched from the window while holding Gohan close.

" That woman will ruin everything, this is my duty!""

Goku pushed Vegeta away from his home. He wanted to protect his wife and baby, but also his best friend Bulma

" How dear you threatening her, how could you even think of hurting a woman like that." Goku said in anger

Vegeta punched at him hard in the face and then the ribs.

" Without her at my side this pathetic life you have carved out for yourself on Earth will be destroyed, your family will be gone. Why protect her and let that happen?

Bulma shivers in fear now, his words cutting through her, she looked out at the road ahead and as she stood to run again she felt a hit to the head and she feel to the ground.

" I'm sorry but I won't let you take this from us."

As Vegeta power overwhelmed Goku Chi-Chi who was a strong woman used one arm to carry Gohan and the other arm to carry Bulma in another.

" Stop this you can have your wife back, I won't let her destroy my family. "

Vegeta smirked as he took Bulma and looked down at the panting beat Goku

" You should learn from her, did you think a third class warrior like you could come close to matching me?" He asked with a mocking voice

Goku looked up seeing him holding an unconscious Bulma as he walked off.

" Bulma!" He cried

" it's better this way Goku, now we can live in peace." Chi-Chi said gently

Goku stood looking hurt and betrayed

" Goku they would kill Gohan and me first, then make you join them.. I didn't want that."

" They will hurt Bulma though.. I couldn't protect her…"

Chi-Chi put her hand on him but he batted it off.

…

She knew when she awoke she hadn't succeeded, she saw a familiar place and she almost spat in her husband's face. She felt dizzy from what hit her and she could of guest who had made it so she was back here.

Bulma's head spun and he felt him touch her and she practically pushed his hand off, she looked at him now full of anger, she had would try again to leave, she'd keep going till she saw her father.

Vegeta took her hand and looked at her harshly.

" Clam down would you, no one is going to hurt you anymore."

Bulma give him a look that showed she didn't believe him.

" Heh you humans you can't even tell when something wrong?"

" What the hell is wrong with me?" Bulma asked fearful

Vegeta smirked now as she put his hand in her stomach.

" Your not ill if your fearful of that, I give my father a good yelling to when I found out he'd kicked you like that while you where pregnant Therefore I came up with the excuse for your actions as well."

Bulma's face went white and looked at him shocked.

" Pregnant what? What excuse.. This is not why I ran away from you.

Vegeta sighed as moved to her and she moved away from him.

" The reason my father won't touch you now is because I said you wanted to tell your parents the blissful news and because your hormonal

Bulma frowned and looked.

" I want prove that I'm pregnant , your father kicked me in the stomach… the crash. How did the baby survive.." She asked annoyed

Vegeta held a device In his hand.

" Don't worry this won't hurt you, it similar to your humans ultra sound. He put it on her clothes where stomach was and moved it around till pictured appeared before both of them. The baby was barley formed but it was indeed in its very early stages . She looked at the image with an open mouth and tears feel from her eyes, but they weren't tears it of joy. She took the device off her she threw it away, she give a out a cry of anger.

"What is wrong, why aren't you happy? I saw your look of jealously to that Saiyan and his family.. "

Bulma looked at Vegeta full of spite.

" How can I be happy, Goku has a wife he loved and she loved him back. I know I will never have that life, that is why I'm jealous…."

She cried now she held herself, this is what the Saiyans wanted, this was their plan.. She'd ran and failed, Vegeta didn't say a word for a moment.

" This is your role as princess suck it up you'll raise that child , invent your weapons and be by my side and do it grateful,no more running away."

Bulma looked down defeated, she felt his hand on her shoulder, she looked at him tears in her eyes.

He seemed happy and why not he was getting from her and heir to continue his empire.

…

" Goku why are you so angry? " Chi-Chi asked concerned

He smiled now trying to hide his feelings.

" I wish things were different, I understand that you were protecting Gohan and this life, I just I sensed something in Bulma and I'm worried for her.

" I hope you can forgive me, I don't want you to hate me." She cried

" I don't hate you."

Goku hugged her close, he wondered if he could talk to his brother about going to the Saiyan ship and maybe then he would see his best friend was truly OK.

…

Bulma calmed down after a few hours, she sat eating her dinner with Vegeta and King Vegeta in silence. King Vegeta seemed ecstatic with the confirmation that his daughter in law was pregnant and they discussed turning her new inventions into weapons against freiza. She barely paid attention, she caught her reflection in a knife seeing her healing bruises and she looked off with a hand on her face.

" I know the Saiyans below are finding homes with humans. It's sweet in a way, but I don't know how process this, I'm pregnant to a man I don't really love and I'm always on edge it's not healthy. I don't have a choice they say this is my duty.. '

She finished her food, she looked at the sharp knife, she lifted it for a moment to her arm , Vegeta caught site and felt her feelings . He calmly took her hand and excused himself and took her out the room.

He put his hand on her stomach and looked her in the eyes

" Don't even think thoughts like that, we can have that family life your craving. When a bond is like this its different. This is bound is deep and I won't let you end yourself like that."

Bulma looked up tired and sighed

" What are you saying?" Bulma asked

" I'm tired of fighting with our togetherness, this lie was forced on us but I can be a good husband and a father if you let me show you I can do it."
