A/N: I hope you like it so far! Leave a review or message me questions! I'm thinking of a more upbeat feeling with this chapter!
Chapter 7
I woke up one morning and the first thing I thought was: Day 70! Only 210 more days left! This thought made me so happy that I jumped out of bed and opened my window. The air was quiet and chilly but I didn't care. "ONLY 210 DAYS LEFT! WOO!" I was so happy that I jumped out the window and frolicked in Mrs. Brief's garden. The flowers were covered with morning dew which brushed softly against my clothes.
I've never been this happy before. It might be because of the pregnancy but it really doesn't matter! I wish I could be this happy as to make garden (or grass) angels. No one was around to see me, which was good because I was acting like a total fool! "Good morning world!" I shouted.
Then, I sprang into the air, doing a few back flips here and there, then came back down to the ground where I was doing cartwheels around the house. Then, I collapsed where my grass/garden angel was. From there, I was just laughing like the idiot I was making myself look like. What a morning! And I've only been awake for seven minutes!
"Vegeta, what are you doing?" Dr. Brief asked.
"Nothing!" I yelled, standing up. "Can't I have a quiet and peaceful morning without interruptions?" I pushed past him and headed for the shower. "Can I have at least fifteen minutes of peace here?"
"Of course, I'm sorry, Vegeta." He bowed and walked away.
Later, Bulma's parents went out shopping for groceries or something else. Meanwhile, I was enjoying having the house to myself. Or so I thought.
That happy feeling I had this morning came back! It was so severe that my feet started moving on their own followed along with my hands and hips. I was dancing. I, the person anyone would least expect to dance, was dancing! I don't even know how to dance! I just moved around to…nothing. There was no music on or anything.
I was doing, what the earthlings call, the twist when she showed up. "Vegeta? What are you doing?"
"Come on, woman! Dance with me!" I grabbed her hand and pulled her in.
"Dance to what? There's no music."
"Exactly! Just use your imagination! Right now we can have a slow dance." I wrapped my arms around her waist and had my head resting on her shoulder. It took a while for her to follow along. I noticed that she enjoyed it, seeing as her head was on my shoulder and her breathing was calm. "See? It's a nice slow dance. Nice and sloooooow." She laughed. "Then, we could do a fast dance!" I twirled her around and we started doing a fast dance.
"I have to admit it! This is more fun without music." She said as she laughed. "Come on, let me show you a new dance!"
"Alright! Show me!" And she did. It was a fun dance, too! I never knew the tango could be this fun! No wonder you have to have two! Then, with my poor guiding, we bumped into a shelf that I didn't even notice was there until now. Everything was okay, but a single box fell. "What is that?" I asked as I looked down at its multiple colors.
"Oh, it's Pretzel!" She smiled. "I used to love this game! All you have to do is stretch your arms and legs to touch the right spots. Do you want to play?"
"Sure! Right now, I'm willing to try anything once!"
"Cool! I'll set it up."
Not even five minutes into the game, we formed a human/Saiyan pretzel. I couldn't even move my arm let alone my legs! I was too busy laughing! It felt good to laugh so hard! "This game is so ridiculous!" I caved in and collapsed on the mat, making Bulma fall on top of me.
"I told you it was a fun game!" Bulma laughed. I never heard her laugh so hard. It sounded so beautiful. Then, she stopped laughing and looked at what she landed on: my lap. "I had so much fun."
"Me too. I wish I could be happy like this all of the time." I told her. At that point, I wish I could take it back. I never told anyone that before. I was holding it in me for so long and it comes out so easily to her. To her, of all people, I just shared something no one knows about me.
"Why aren't you?" She asked a little more seriously.
"Because, I'm not used to it." I shifted into a more comfortable position. "I was raised under Frieza's command. He always wanted me to kill and to fight. He never showed me what a fun time was like. There was never anything to smile about."
"But it's changed since then." She finished for me. "Your smile is beautiful."
I felt my face getting warm. "You think so?"
"And you're blushing. That's so cute!" She laughed that beautiful laugh again. It wasn't as hard but it was gentle. Nice and soothing.
"Kiss me, woman."
"I thought you'll never ask." Bulma wrapped her arms around me and gave me a kiss. Her soft lips were just as soft and delicate as her skin as I felt her arms. "Vegeta, I'm glad to see you happy." She said in between lip-locks. I didn't answer as I kept on going. But then she stopped. "I just want you to know that I feel different when I'm around you."
"Different how?" I stood up, guessing we were done kissing, before lending a hand to help her up.
"Well, you're like an outlet. I can yell at you and you can yell back."
"An outlet? Is that all I am to you?" I crossed my arms and turned the opposite way.
"No, that's not what I'm saying at all! I'm saying that you get me. You understand me."
"But you can't understand me." I sighed.
"But I want to. I really do. I want to take your pain and ease it."
That was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. My eyes shut again with intensity. She really cares, I thought. I always yelled at her but she really cares. "Thank you."
"I just want to know another thing. Will you be here when the baby comes or will you leave as soon as you get the chance?"
"I have no choice." I said. When the androids are defeated, where else would I go? "I'll raise my son to be as strong as I am."
"Or daughter." She added.
"You're still on that, woman?" I yelled. "I'm telling you that this baby will be a male!"
"Or female." She kept adding that just to make me angry. It was working.
"Look here! This baby is a boy!"
"Or girl."
"No, a boy!"
"How do you know?"
I opened my mouth to say something but quickly shut it. If I say anything, she'll come to a conclusion faster than I could cover it with another lie. "I have to go train." Before she could object, I ran out the door.
And that's the end of that chapter! What do you think? Was it sweet? Retarded? Funny? Emotional? Did it make you want to dance? Did it make you want to play Twister?
