Chapter Nine

Sick on a Saturday

It had been about three months since the whole Yamacha incident. Bulma and Vegeta were doing extremely well and their sex life was even better. The Briefs had accepted their new son-in-law, and even though they weren't too thrilled about them deciding not to have a legal marriage by human standards, they got over it very soon.

Yamacha hadn't been around either. When the whole getting beat down into a pulp thing happened he decided that it was probably best to stay away from the Capsule Corp. So he decided to move on and started dating other women. At least they wouldn't have any 'new' husbands that could beat the living daylights out of him!

Things in HFIL were going extremely well also. King Yemma didn't have to use any more force on Freeza and his goons at all, which was a huge surprise to everyone in the other world. No one ever thought that the HFIL could be tamed with the saiyans and Freeza residing down their…

For three months strait HFIL had been watching what was now dubbed "V-TV". They couldn't get enough of it! They were also really happy when Bulma and Vegeta decided to have sex on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, because they got to watch Deal or No Deal, it also didn't kill them if they decided to do the nasty on Tuesdays, because the Gilmore Girls came on, which had become one of Captain Ginyu's favorites.

HFIL was also in full stock of Doritos all the time, which really was making Dodoria angry. His favorite food had become a fad, and he was NOT and conformist by any means, so he silently began to introduce Cheeto's into his diet…they were "dangerously cheesy" and he was a dangerous man!

Vegeta had been training like a mad man and he still was no where near Super Saiyan. It was sad, but true… He knew the real reason for his lack of power gain, he hated to acknowledge it, but it was Bulma that was holding him back.

She had been an amazing support system. She was constantly testing his blood, making GR upgrades and encouraging everything he did. The only problem was is that Vegeta couldn't concentrate with her around. Every time she felt a strange emotion, which was all the time, Vegeta would leap to go see what was wrong and them somewhere between checking on her, he find himself locked in the bedroom again.

Bulma was sitting in the lab, typing madly at her computer when Vegeta walked in. "Woman, I need to talk to you, would you mind quitting what ever mediocre thing you are doing and listen to me?" Vegeta grabbed a chair and sat right by her.

"Vegeta, shouldn't you be training? I am really busy and I have no time to listen your little 'royal needs'…" Bulma looked at him and could have killed him when he pushed the escape button on her computer.

"Now, I think you have time to listen to me…" Vegeta loved it when he screwed around with her stuff. It really pissed her off.

"Vegeta, she is going to cut you off if you don't leave her alone!" King Vegeta wished her could give his son advice in times like these.

"Vegeta, I had been working on that report for an hour! You better spit out what you need right now before I slit your throat and I break myself of this bond!" Bulma was fuming.

"Vegeta should be a little more considerate of her work! I mean she is like the richest person in the world! Vegeta wouldn't have all of those training things if it wasn't for her work!" Jeice started becoming defensive of Bulma.

"Okay, now that I have your attention I can talk to you like a civilized creature! What I am about to tell you is going to piss you off, but you have got to keep an open mind until I am finished!" Vegeta looked at her very seriously, which scared Bulma. Vegeta picked up on it very quickly and started speaking again.

"Bulma, I have been training for months now! We have done everything possible to turn me into a Super Saiyan and it hasn't happened yet! The problem here is that I can feel that I am about to become one!" Vegeta was looking down at the table.

"Okay, so what is the big deal if he is about to transform?" Nappa looked at the king.

"The woman is holding him back…" King Vegeta bowed his head a bit. He knew what his son was feeling for the woman; he had felt the same way with his wife. But the fact of the matter was that all of the attention was going to her, even though she wasn't asking for it.

"Well Vegeta, then what is the problem, is there something else I could do?" Bulma started to sense her husband's nerves. He was hiding something from her…

"I need to leave Bulma…" Vegeta looked up at her and his stern look faded when he saw a saddened look strike his mate's face.

"Why?" Was all Bulma could get out without shedding tears. Why did he want to leave her? What was she doing wrong?

"Oh no, oh no, Bulma please don't cry!"

"Vegeta needs to leave! It's going to be okay!"

"You guys better eat those Doritos and leave my Cheetos alone!"

"Bulma I can't train properly on Earth with you around. You are too much of a distraction. It isn't your fault…I worry about you constantly…" Vegeta's words slowed. He didn't want to leave her, but it was the only thing that he could do.

"I…I understand." Bulma looked at him as he put his hand on top of hers. "I know you don't want to leave me Vegeta, I have searched your thoughts, so I know you don't want to go."

"When do you think it would be best for me to go?" Vegeta asked her and squeezed her hand. He didn't like being sentimental, but the woman was a different story. He didn't mind her knowing what was really going on.

"Vegeta, that is up to you… But, maybe it would be best if you decided to leave in the morning. That would give us enough time to help pack you enough stuff and I just want to be with you before you go…" Bulma had finally fought back the tears and started to regain her right state of mind. Vegeta was right; he needed to think about the androids right now. They were bond for life; they could be with each other when everything was safe and sound.

"I agree. I don't know how long it will take, but I will be back as soon as possible. As much as I would love to free myself form your annoying bickering and your insane parents, I might actually miss you." Vegeta lightened up the moment and laughed out when Bulma punched him in the arm, he was used to it by now.

"Oh please, you can't live without me! I think it will be a nice vacation to be freed of your spoiled arrogant bastard ways! So let's hurry up and pack you so you can leave already…" Bulma whined and stood up. "My typing can wait until tomorrow. I'm the most powerful woman on this planet, I can hold off a few papers."

"Bulma is such a liar; I know she is dying inside!"

"Well did she ever do anything bad? She can come party with us!"

"Then V-TV won't be as fun with her down here!"

Bulma helped Vegeta pack for his trip into space. They packed enough for at least 6 months, which was killing Bulma. She couldn't bare it if he was gone that long. Hopefully they were just being over cautious. Vegeta was really close to becoming a super saiyan, so surely it would be just a week or two…wouldn't it?

At about 6:00 they had finished packing. Vegeta was holding Bulma protectively on his chest. She had been so sick for the last two weeks. Waking up to hold her hair at night so she could vomit had become a normal thing and no matter what she took to cure this 'virus' that she had just wouldn't work.

"Are you sure you are okay with me leaving right now Bulma? I can wait a few more days until you get better…" Vegeta stroked her hair.

"Absolutely not! You are going to leave as soon as possible so you can return as soon as possible!" Bulma just buried her head into his chest, this nausea just wouldn't go away!

"Vegeta, I want you to know something…" Bulma began, "I am going to miss you terribly when you are gone and I know you are probably wondering why I am taking it so well…"

"Yeah, I was kinda wondering that. You are usually so pitiful, but what else should I expect form a dependent human like you?" Vegeta nudged her head and smirked.

"When that purple haired guy came from the future came and said that everyone died, he never mentioned me… I am guessing that either I live or he was just too busy to mention me." Bulma inhaled a little trying to fight the nausea while Vegeta stroked her hair some more.

"Wait! That guy was from the future? What the hell is going on here?" Freeza started gritting his teeth.

"That means that I live Vegeta and you die. I can't live the rest of my life with out you!" Bulma started tearing up again and Vegeta just held her closer.

"Awww that is so sad, but it's sweet!" Jeice started tearing up too. "Can someone hand me a Kleenex?"

"Vegeta I would rather loose you for a few weeks than lose you for the rest of my life. This bond that we have between us has gotten so strong that I can't imagine waking up with out you right next to me. I can't live with out your smart ass comments!" Bulma let a small tear roll down her face. She always hated crying in front of Vegeta. He was such a strong, proud man, and she hated to show weakness, even though she knew he didn't care."

"They are so in love! Vegeta has to become a super saiyan so they can live happily ever after!" Captain Ginyu grabbed one of the Kleenex's also.

"Bulma, that boy came back for a reason. He knew that if we got stronger those tin cans could be destroyed and that is exactly what is going to happen." He lifted her chin up and started to kiss her when Bulma jumped up.

"Oh god this nausea is going to drive me mad!" Bulma started heading towards the bathroom and heard Vegeta yell "You already are!"

Bulma made it in time to throw her guts up. She was so sick of being so sick. Vegeta and her hadn't been intimate in a week because of this damn virus and now he was about to leave and they couldn't even make love!

Bulma heard the bathroom door open and turned to see her mother rush up behind her.

"Oh Bulma dear, we really need to get this taken care of! You won't be able to function if you keep up like this!" Bunny started wetting a rag to put on Bulma's forehead.

"I remember one time I was sick just like this! I threw up all day and all night!" Bunny began to press the rag against her daughter's forehead.

"Well did they find out what was wrong with you mom? I mean maybe I have the same thing!" Bulma put her head in her mother's lap.

"What was wrong with me?" Bunny began to thing and then said in a cheery voice, "Oh, yeah that's right, that was when I found out I was pregnant with you!"

That was about the time Bulma started feeling hot and she felt her heart sink all the way down to her big toe. "Momma…."

"Oh, Bulma dear, when was the last time you had your cycle?" Bunny kept rubbing her daughters back. It was funny how Bunny just always out and said things with such a care free attitude.

"Ummm, gee mom, probably about two months, I have been so worried with Vegeta, I haven't even kept up with it!" Bulma started breathing a little bit harder. Her and Vegeta had sex almost every night about two months ago. They never wore protection either! Oh hell! That means that it had to be true!

"Oh my god!"

"Bulma's…."

"Looks like we have a new heir to the throne…"

Everyone turned around to look at the king. He just stared into the screen. Come to think of it, the king was looking about as green as Bulma…

"Momma! Do you think I am pregnant!" Bulma whispered in a sharp tone.

"Well darling I don't see why not, I mean you have all the symptoms and with that hot husband of yours I am sure you guys are very intimate!" Bunny started giggling. "I will get you an appointment with the gynecologist tomorrow to confirm it…"

Bulma finally started letting it all sink in. Vegeta was leaving tomorrow…he couldn't know about this or he would stay! And if he stayed he would never become a Super Saiyan! And if never became a Super Saiyan, he would…die….

Bulma got up off of the floor and looked at her mother. "Mom, Vegeta can't know about this until her returns! Promise me you won't tell him. If he knows he will stay and we will all be toast when the androids get here!"

"Wait, Bulma you can't do that!"

"He has a right to know!"

"He will be so pissed if you don't tell him!"

The king just sat there. In that moment he had more respect for Bulma than he had had, ever since he began watching his son's life. This woman was willing to be alone during one of the scariest moments of her life, so her mate could become stronger…She really did have the soul of a saiyan.

Bulma's mother nodded her head and then got up to leave. "I am proud of you…" She kissed her on the forehead and then got up to leave.

"Are you feeling any better?" Vegeta asked when she re-entered the room.

"Oh yeah, I am feeling much better…"
