Falling for a Saiyan Part 12, Pregnancy Part 4
"It's...a girl."
I looked to Trunks with a big smile on my face. Our baby now had a gender, and that gender was a girl. Now what was going through my mind was what to name her. After we were in the car driving home, I felt Trunks put a hand on mine.
"Can you believe it, Melissa? We're going to have a girl."
"I know. I can't believe it, either. I just hope I'm a good mother for her."
"You'll be a great mother."
After we got home, Trunks laid me down on the couch.
"Anything I can get you?"
"Actually, Trunks, there is. Can you bring your father in here? There's something I need to talk to him about."
"Okay. I'll see if I can find him."
After a good few minutes, Trunks came in, with Vegeta close behind him. He had his arms crossed, like he was annoyed with something.
"I was in the middle of some serious training. This better be important."
"Sit down, Vegeta. I have something I need to tell you."
Trunks got me a glass of water and kissed my cheek.
"I'll be in the basement with Mom if you need anything."
"Thanks, Trunks."
After he left, Vegeta sat on the couch as I propped myself up. I took a deep breath, then flinched as I felt my little girl kicking around. Vegeta smirked and laughed slightly. I stuck my tongue out at him in response.
"You are so lucky that men can bear children."
"But we are responsible for the gender of the children."
"Hmph."
I crossed my arms in front of me, and the Saiyan Prince smirked.
"Acting more like a Saiyan every day. Now, what did you want to tell me?"
I took another deep breath and carefully looked Vegeta in the face.
"Vegeta, I wanted to talk to you about...what kind of relationship we have."
"As I recall, it was that of a father and daughter."
"True, but I think the bond is much deeper than that."
He grew quiet, then I spoke again.
"When I said you were just like my father was, I meant it in a way. You two do have similar mannerisms, but you've done something he never has."
"What would that be?"
I sat closer to him and took his hand, something that caused his eyes to widen.
"You were there for me when I needed you, Vegeta. You became the father I always wanted, but never had. I can't thank you enough for all that you've done for me. I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you in my life."
Vegeta's eyes widened again as he saw tears fall down my face. He gently wiped them away and embraced me. Tears continued to fall down my face as he held me close to him.
"I just wish there was a way I could repay you for everything, Vegeta."
"You've already done that, Melissa."
"I have?"
"Yes."
I raised an eyebrow as I tried to think of what he meant. Seeing that I was clueless, he looked back at me with a small smile.
"You've made my son the happiest I've seen him in a long time. I don't think myself or his mother can recall a time where we've seen him so happy. Well, other when he first became a Super Saiyan, of course."
"I bet that was quite an achievement."
"The proudest moment in any Saiyan's life."
We looked up to see Trunks walk back in with Bulma. Trunks saw the tear stains on my face and looked at me closely.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, love. Just talking with your father."
"Oh. What about?"
"Nothing you need to worry about, boy."
Vegeta brushed hair out of my face, gave me another smile, and walked out the door to his training capsule. Trunks sat beside me as I drank from the glass of water he gave me.
"I told Mom and Dad about the baby."
"Did you? What did they say?"
"Well, Dad looked like he was impressed. He's just concerned with the fact she may inherit your stubbornness."
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I don't think he'll ever change. Trunks then put a hand to my belly and caressed it softly.
"Hi, Bella. It's Daddy."
"Bella?"
"Well, that was the name I was thinking of if the baby turned out to be a girl. Is...is that okay?"
"Trunks, that's a prefect name. Well, what did your mom say about the baby?"
"Oh, she was ecstatic to hear we were having a girl. She's already gone into town to buy some clothes and a pink baby book."
"She does so much."
Before we knew it, dinnertime came around. We were all going to Goku and Chi-Chi's place for dinner. Gohan was off training with Goten, and wouldn't be back by the time we left.
That's a wrap for part 12. In part 13 Trunks, Melissa, Bulma, and Vegeta join Goku and Chi-Chi for dinner. Also in part 13, Melissa gets a phone call that changes her life forever. Stay tuned
