Chapter 7 Unexpected

It had been two month since Vegeta made Bulma his 'mate', and she was loving every

minute of it. Vegeta really hadn't changed too much; he was still a jerk who only cared about

training, and defeating Goku, but at the end of the day when it was time for them to go to bed,

he was her husband. A good deal she admitted, it wasn't like she was mated to a romantic guy,

more like a hot head murderer. Things were better than ever in her life she was determined to

keep it that way.

It was actually pretty easy for Bulma to let everyone know that she and Vegeta were

together. At first he threatened o kill her if she told anyone, but she couldn't help it, she found

a new love and was determined to let the world know. Her parents took it the easiest. Mr.

Briefs was a little worried at first for his daughters safety but his suspicions died shortly

after once he saw how the warrior would take verbal bashings from her and simply grit his

teeth at her and leave. It was obvious no matter how angry she made him, he wouldn't hurt

her. Mrs. Briefs wasn't' shocked at all, she was overjoyed that her daughter was coupled with

"One of the sexiest men alive", and made every effort to try to get them to have a proper

wedding, for all to see.

As for Goku, Chi Chi, Gohan, Krillin, and the rest of the Z fighters, they were all floored at

the news. Everyone knew of Bulma and Yamcha's split, but never in their wildest dreams did

they think that she would end up with Vegeta, after all, they only saw he two bickering and

arguing. They only omitted pure hatred to each other, but after a while everyone just assumed

it was inevitable. They lived in Capsule Corp. together alone, not to mention the whole saying

that 'opposites attract'. It was a big shock but soon enough everyone got over it. Bulma even

succeeded in convincing Vegeta that she shouldn't kill Goku. She told Vegeta that Goku was the

only other of his kind left, and instead of killing him to prove he was the best, a good old

sparring match could suffice. It took him a while to get over not being able to kill him, but he

agreed for her sake.

The only person that couldn't get used to their relationship was Yamcha. When he

found out that they were together he flipped. He was angry and refused to have anything to do

with any of his old friends. The fact that they could accept Bulma with a man who's original

plan was to destroy the earth, and them with it, sent Yamcha over the brink, he packed up and

left town.


Vegeta was kissing Bulma passionately, caressing her thighs with his hands. It had been

a long day of training for him and he was set on releasing some tension tonight with his mate.

He began to inch her legs open, as he dove his tongue deeper in her mouth, hissing her harder

causing her to jolt under him. He quickly broke away from her to see what was wrong. As he

looked down on Bulma he saw her gag and roll over to her side clenching her stomach. Vegeta

frowned at his mate's reaction, thinking the worst.

"Woman", he whispered, trying to conceal his embarrassment and anger. "Do I repulse you?

that much?" Bulma was still on her side, curling up in a ball from the pain.

"No Vegata, not at all, just as you were kissing me I felt the sudden urge to vomit". She saw him

give her a questioning look through the side of her eyes.

"Not because you repulse me, just I've been feeling queasy lately. Moving around a lot, "she

paused for a moment. "And kissing seems to make me feel worse". Vegeta raised a questioning

brow to her.

"So you're ill?"

"Yeah, I think it was something I ate, I'm going to take some medicine." Vegeta grunted at her

response and lay back on the bed, his hands behind his head. Bulma slowly rose from the bed

and walked into the bathroom, quietly shutting the door behind her.

"It can't be, can it?" Bulma was staring at her reflection in the mirror, butterflies flying in her

stomach. She lied to Vegeta for the first time tonight. She didn't eat anything to make her sick,

in fact she had been feeling this way on and off for a month. It was just now starting to become

more annoying, and she was now starting to feel sick all the time. Bulma glared at her reflection

trying to remember when her last period was, or when was the last time she had to get

tampons. She thought long and hard coming to the conclusion that she couldn't not remember

she had no clue. She reached down into her cupboard under the sink and picked up the box of

unopened and unused tampons, and dropped them in shock.

"I'm pregnant, shit I'm pregnant", she said frantically.

"Ok, Bulma, don't get ahead of yourself, you have been stressed out recently, and maybe it

caused it to get irregular", she was trying to convince herself running her hands through her

hair trying to relax. Bulma took in a deep breath and threw some cold water on her face in an

attempt to calm herself down. She didn't mind herself if she was, but what would Vegeta think?

Would he be happy, sad? She couldn't guess, he was temperamental, any old thing could piss

him off, or have no effect on him. She heard footsteps coming towards the bathroom, and she

immediately kicked the tampons behind the toilet, and spun around facing the door.

"Who are you talking too?" Vegeta was leaning on the door frame looking at her suspiciously.

"Oh, nobody, just myself haha. I was just on my way back to bed".

"I'm going to go train, I can't sleep", he turned to walk away and Bulma noticed he looked

furious.

"Wait!" she cried after him. Vegeta stopped in his tracks not turning to face her.

"When are you coming back inside?" Vegeta shrugged his shoulders and continued on his way

out to the Gravity room.

Bulma dropped her hands into her palms. She knew he was angry, she didn't know if it

was because they didn't have sex, or if it was because something else. She couldn't help but to

wonder if he knew she was keeping something from him. Once Vegeta was completely out of

sight she strolled back to her bedroom. She rolled herself up in the sheets and closed her eyes

trying to make her mind go blank from everything that happened tonight. After a few minutes

she began to doze off, promising herself tomorrow she would take a pregnancy test.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Vegeta was in the gravity room throwing punches and kicks into the air, blood boiling.

He knew the woman was lying to him, she looked suspicious and she was acting like she was

nervous. Since he had taken her as his mate she was never 'nervous' about anything around

him, and her feeling sick all of a sudden. She was up to something; he could feel it in his bones,

he could smell it oozing from her skin, and it was driving him mad. He wanted to know what she

was keeping from him then and there, but chose not to act on it tonight. He decided that he

wanted to confront her off guard. It would be the best way to catch her in her lies. Vegeta

looked up at the clock and noticed 3 hours went by, he left the gravity room and took a

shower. He peaked into the woman's bedroom to see if she was asleep, he watched her for a

moment and went to the living room. He wasn't going to sleep with her tonight, she wasn't

being herself and he didn't like it. He laid himself down on the couch looking up at the

ceiling, he was trying to clear his mind of all the negative thoughts that were coming into his

mind about his mate. He closed his eyes and promised himself tomorrow he was going to

find out what she was finding from him. With that he went to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning Bulma got up and found Vegeta wasn't in the bed beside her. She

walked downstairs and looked through the back window towards the gravity room. It was on,

so she assumed Vegeta was in there all night. I hope he's still not mad. She went back upstairs

and through some clothes on, this was the perfect time for her to run to the pharmacy to get a

pregnancy test.

Bulma was gone about 20 minutes…tops. She made sure she was quick because she

didn't want him to come out of the gravity room and find her missing. Bulma knew he was

suspicions of her actions last night and she didn't want to plant any ideas in his head by leaving

without informing him. Luckily for her when she got back he was still in the gravity room, and

she rushed upstairs to her bathroom.

Bulma opened the box; it read "First Response Pregnancy Test". She skimmed the

directions and ripped the packaging holding the stick. She plopped down on the toilet and

began to pee on the absorbent strip at the end of the stick.

"Shit", she whispered as she felt some of her urine hitting her index and middle fingers. She

pulled the test from under her and set it down on the counter. She cleaned herself up washed

her hands. Bulma was pacing her bathroom back on forth anxious for the three minutes to

hurry up and pass by. She felt her hands begin to moisten and she felt a little dizzy. She sat

down on the toilet and took a deep breath and She picked up the directions.

"Two lines pregnant, one line not pregnant", she quickly scooped up the stick examining the

results. Bulma looked down blankly for a moment, and brought the directions to her eyes again,

and then the test. Her eyes felt like they were popping out of their sockets as she saw two dark

solid clearly visible lines staring back at her.

Bulma was pregnant, she thought she was before but now she knew for a fact. She was

pregnant and the father was Vegeta. She had to chuckle to herself for a moment, of course she

was. She had been having sex with him unprotected for a while. She stopped taking her birth

control after her and Yamcha split up. It was inevitable she got pregnant, they weren't taking

any precautions. The results of the pregnancy test were defiantly a shock to her, she wasn't

planning on having any kids anytime soon but she welcomed this situation. The night before

she was unsure of how she would feel if she was pregnant, and it lasted up until the moment

she found out. Her initial reaction was shock and surprise but upon finding out for sure she

instantly felt a maternal instinct pound in her from within. She was happy that she was having a

baby, Vegeta's baby, but she was still nervous to inform him.

Bulma felt it best to tell him now. She kept telling herself that he wouldn't be angry,

after all he knew that there would be consequences to their actions. Unprotected sex caused

unplanned pregnancies, surely he knew this. Bulma tossed the box away, and stuffed the test

in her pocket.

"It's now or never", she gulped.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Vegeta decided he would take a break from his training. He gotten only 3 hours of sleep

before he got up and went in again. Surely by know Bulma was awake, and he planned to

shower before confronting her about her suspicious action the night before. Vegeta was

halfway up the stairs when he saw her coming down towards him. They both stopped upon

seeing each other and stood silently. Bulma was looking down shifting her weight from foot to

foot, again looking nervous. Vegeta felt a fire blazing inside of him as he snatched her arm into his

hand and pulled her close.

"What are you keeping from me?"

"I-, what do you—"

"Enough! You have been lying to me, and I want the truth." He squeezed a little tighter.

"Here", with her free hand she reached into her pocked and handed him the stick. He snatched

it from her hand.

"What the fuck is this?" he questioned. Bulma looked down, and softly responded "It's a

pregnancy test".

"Pregnancy test? Don't play games with me woman this is some kind of fucking toy with two

lines on it, it doesn't say anything about pregnancy".

"It's a home pregnancy test, you have to urinate on it, and it shows two lines if the pregnancy

hormone is detected, see?" She was holding the directions up for him to see. He snatched them

from her and skimmed through the paper. Vegeta shot a look at her stomach and growled.

"Get rid of it".

"WHAT? You can't be serious Vegeta?"

"Do I seem like I am joking?" he moved his face closer to hers. "I am not asking you girl, you will

terminate this pregnancy at once!" He released her arm half pushing her away from him at the

same time.

"I will not", she gave him a defiant look and took a step closer.

"You and I have been sleeping together for months, didn't it cross your mind that it could

happen"?

"Of course it did woman, but it never crossed my mind you would be stupid enough to keep it." He

shot back.

"Stupid enough to keep it? This is your child you're talking about!"

"Who said I fucking want children?" They were both screaming at the top of their lungs now.

"And who said I did Vegeta? I wasn't planning on having children anytime soon, but it

happened...and I want to keep the baby". Vegeta twisted his face in disgust at her.

"This is your child just as well as it is mine, and he or she will be coming into this world.

Whether you want it too or not, I could care less", Bulma was in his face, her nose touching his.

"You are a fool" he backed away from her.

"I'm a fool for wanting to have your child? Our child?"

"You're a fool because you cannot handle the pregnancy, you are not Saiyan idiot, you're human.

The birth will kill you." Bulma looked at him and scoffed in disgust.

"Chi Chi had Golan, and she's doing just fine".

"That harpy has some sort of strength, you do not". He turned his face to the wall avoiding

looking at her.

"Stop beating around the bush, you just don't want me to have the baby for your own selfish

reasons", Bulma felt the tears building up in her eyes, trying her hardest to keep them from

falling.

Vegeta laughed sinisterly at her and rolled his eyes. "I already told you I don't want it. I do not

wish to parent anything ever; I don't need any more distractions." Bulma swallowed hard and

drew back her fist, with all her might she swung aiming for Vegeta's face. He caught on to what

she was trying to do and moved out of her reach causing her to fall. Before she could hit the

floor he scooped her into his arms.

"Let me GO!!" She was kicking and screaming.

"I that the best you've got?" he teased. "I've had women older than you manage to get one lick

in". Bulma reached behind her and cupped a handful of the warrior princes black hair. With all

her might she closed her grip and dropped her hand down yanking his head as hard as she

could. She looked down and saw a handful of Vegeta's thick hair lying in her palm.

"You fucking bitch", he slammed her back against the wall. Vegeta was fuming, as he saw the

clump of his hair fall to the ground. Bulma stared in terror she had never seen him so angry his

eyes went red in fury.

"Lets see how you like that then, shall we?" Vegeta had her hair wrapped in his fingers and he

began to drag her up the stairs.

"AHH! Vegeta Stop!" Bulma was screaming and begging for him to release her. Bulma began to

dig her nails into his hands, attempting to make him loosen his hold of her blue hair. She felt his

blood dripping on her forehead, but it had no effect on him. He drug her all the way to her

room and tossed her onto the floor, tearing a handful of her hair out. Bulma screamed at the

raging pain from her skull as Vegeta stood over her laughing, holding her hair in his hands.

"Know your place with me, or it will not turn out well for you", he warned. Bulma looked at him

with pain in her eyes, she was holding her head where he pulled the hair from and she shrieked

"Fuck You!" She lunged towards him pounding her fist on his chest. Vegeta laughed at her

attempts to hurt him and Bulma acted on him not paying attention. With all the strength in her

body she punched him dead in his mouth. He instantly stopped laughing and raised his hand

too his mouth. He was bleeding; of course the woman's punch wasn't hard enough to hurt him,

but she hit him for the second time and this time he was bleeding.

"You drew my blood", Vegeta gritted through his teeth."And now I will draw yours". He balled

his right hand into a fist and raised it back. Bulma closed her eyes and waited for what was

coming next. She instantly remember the life she was carrying inside of her, and shielded her

belly hoping he would strike her face. Vegeta caught a glance on what she did and it instantly

came back to him. She is with child. He dropped his fist and stared at her stomach.

After a moment Bulma slowly opened one eye looking to see what was stopping him

from hitting her. She caught him staring at her stomach, and his fist was back at his side. She

wiggled her way out of his grip and stumbled backwards falling on her back. Vegeta was

standing there dumbfounded. He had lost his temper too far with her, and hurt her. He dragged

her by her hair, and almost hit her. Vegeta's heart dropped into his stomach at the though. My

mate is pregnant with my child, and I almost hit her. Vegeta looked down at his hands and

feeling fear for the first time in a long time. He was afraid of himself. Vegeta had beaten and

killed many women, pregnant woman included through the years, but the thought of his

woman, who was with his child, being beaten by his hand sickened him. He slowly raised his

head to look at Bulma who lay on the floor, still shielding her stomach with tears streaming

down her face.

"Get...away…from me", she mumbled through sobs. Vegeta looked down at her stomach again,

gliding his fingers through his hair. He looked back into her face, searching for the words to say

to her. Bulma noticed as he was looking at her his eyes were glassy. Is he about to cry?

"Get the fuck away" she repeated before breaking down into sobs again. She was hurt that

Vegeta would even think about raising his hand to her, although he stopped it didn't change the

fact of the matter. Not to mention this whole fight started because he didn't want her to keep

their child! She was infuriated with him, but a small part of her felt sorry for him, she never

seen him that emotional to the point where he was on the verge of tears, it was hurting her to

see the water building behind his eyes. A part of her wanted to run over and embrace him, but

she fought it back. She couldn't think of herself she had to think about the child she was

carrying. She needed him away from her, not only for her safety but the safety of their unborn.

"GET OUT VEGETA!" she was screaming know through her sobs. He stared at her for a moment

like he wanted to say something to her. She saw the pain in his eyes, and she could tell that he

was sorry about his actions. She turned her head away and began to cry harder. He blinked

back the water that was forming behind his eyes and he turned his back to her walking out of

the door.

Vegeta stood on the other side of the wall listening to the woman cry. He couldn't believe

it, he almost struck the woman he loved, while she lay pregnant with his seed. For the first time

in a long time he felt like curling up in a ball and crying his eyes out. He broke the woman's trust

for him, and her heart. The only person to ever love him he hurt. Vegeta began to worry abut

the child's safety. He was going to go back in the room but he decided against it. The woman

was crying hysterically now. He turned and continued down the hall to the only place he could

think of going, the gravity room. As he walked over he prayed to the Gods his child was living

and safe in his mates' womb. Before he closed the door, he looked back at the house she lay

crying in. Bulma…Forgive me.
