Goku never came back like he said he was. She was so depressed. Vegeta wasn't talking to her either. Life sucks. It was better things she could do instead of living in a pool of her own sadness. She didn't need a man to feel happy. She could put all her time into training for the andriods. Things could be worse. She had to look on the bright side. There was no point in being sad over things she couldn't control. She tried her best with Vegeta and he didn't return the favor so obviously he didn't want her. Didn't mean her feeling were not hurt. They were more than hurt.
What was a girl to do? She had to get out of the house. She got up from her bed and rummaged through her closet for something to wear. Katashi had called her every day for the last two weeks. That guy was devoted. She had the perfect plan in place; sneaking out. It was sad that she was a grown woman who had to resort to sneaking out to go see a friend. She put on a vertical stripe jumpsuit which was backless. That meant no bra or she would ruin the whole outfit. She put on her favorite black ruffle heels. When she was done with her makeup and hair she called Akari to schedule lunch he said he would meet her there so she grabbed one of her capsule cars and purse and headed downstairs.
She didn't even make it out the door when a familiar voice caught her attention. "Where are you going Bulma?" Goku said. She turned around and gave him a smile. Busted. What excuse could she possibly have.
"Hi Goku, I was actually on my way to go see you." She said, trying to keep her composure. Lying to Goku was not something she wanted to do but he made it specifically clear to not see Katashi. The fate of the future and blah blah blah. What a load of bullshit.
He frowned. She was clearly lying. "You don't have to lie to me Bulma," He replied, with a smile on his face.
That smile. That face. How could she lie to that face? He was always so understanding and supportive. "Okay if you must know I was going to see Katashi I know you said not to but we are only going to be friends."
His smile disappeared quicker than it appeared. "Bulma we talked about this. You can't see him or any other guy the future depends on it. You have to end up with," He stopped talking. He said too much. That's why he didn't come back. He knew he would slip up.
"No don't stop talking," She said smirking. She wanted to know. No. She deserved to know.
"Vegeta is in love with you," He blurted out. He didn't mean to say that. The words just flew out. "I mean I think he's in love with you."
Now he was just making fun of her. Vegeta wouldn't even give her the time of the let alone be in love with her. Goku could not be serious. She started to laugh. For a minute, she believed him. He was good.
He just looked at her relieved that she thought he was joking. He started laughing nervously and rubbing the back of his head.
Telling Bulma that he would be right back he put two fingers on his forehead and found Vegeta in the Gravity Machine sleeping quarters. Vegeta was sleep but that was short lived because as soon as he felt Gokus presence formed a Ki ball in his hand and blasted him out the room. He hated being woken up.
"Ouch Vegeta what did you do that for?"
"Kakarott what are you doing here?" Vegeta asked, ignoring the question. If looks could kill Goku would probably be dead right about now. But no unfortunately looks could not kill so Vegeta would have to settle for the old fashion way. "Speak now," He demanded.
"I asked you to keep an eye on Bulma you know make sure she didn't go see that guy again or any other guy."
Vegeta scoffed. Did this fool really think he had the time to play babysitter? "If you want something done right do it yourself," He explained, arms crossed.
Goku just rubbed the back of his head trying to figure out what to say. He thought he was irresponsible but both Bulma and Vegeta knew the future was at risk and didn't want to listen. Maybe if he left it alone it would work out. Then he wouldn't worry so much about whether or not that would have Trunks. He also did not want to leave Bulma alone. To think about it maybe he was trying to sabotage them. Why though. He was happily married; scratch the happily. He loved Chi-Chi but he also loved food and he had a pretty good idea that it wasn't the same thing. What he felt around Bulma was a totally different feeling. Every time he was around her it felt as though time itself stops. He had to stop these feelings so they would not cloud his judgement. No matter what Bulma had to be with Vegeta. Someone else could always come back in time to warn them. Goku would never want to erase someone from existence. He just wasn't that type of person. Feeling the types of things, he felt about Bulma was cheating. Not physical but emotional. Cheating is cheating no matter what kind. "Vegeta tell Bulma that I will not be coming back" He said, putting two fingers on his forehead.
Vegeta just stood there dumbfounded. That idiot was really something else. Honestly, he didn't even care. He would be Super Sayain in a matter of time. By the time the andriods came he would kill them, beat Kakarott, destroy this worthless planet and become ruler of the whole galaxy. His thoughts were cut short when he felt Bulma approaching. Before she could knock he opened the door. "Where did Goku go?" She asked.
"He left and asked me to inform you that he would not be coming back," He responded apathetic.
"What do you mean not coming back?" "Like not coming today right?"
He shook his head. "He is not coming back at all it might have something to do with the fact that he is unmistakably in love with you." "It makes me sick but what can you except from a third-class clown." He slammed the door in her face not even giving her a chance to reply.
It had been two weeks and no amount of training could keep Bulma out of Vegetas mind. She was moping around sad every single day and it was really starting to bother him. It was pathetic. She was pathetic. He needed to leave. He needed to get off this planet because it was plain to see he wouldn't get any peaceful training here. Not with that stupid woman plaguing his thoughts.
She could tell that her sadness was bothering Vegeta. He did a good job at trying to hide it but she seen it anyway. She tried to get him to elaborate on what he said about Goku being in love with her but he brushed off her advances. Earlier that day before Vegeta woke up she put all kinds of supplies and food in the ship so when he told her he was going to leave to train in space he could already have stuff. It was a good thing that he was sleeping in his room in the house instead of the room inside of the ship. He didn't want to run into him in there.
"Woman I am leaving tonight to train in space prepare the ship," He said.
She looked up at him then looked back down continuing her work. It took her a moment to speak. She knew this was coming. "Already did it have a nice trip."
"What the hell is that?" He asked, picking up the blueprints she was working on. It kind of looked like a gravity room but he wasn't sure.
She had been careless. He was not supposed to see this until he came back. It was the perfect plan she would build him a gravity room that went up to 1000 times gravity and he would throw his arms around her and confess his love. Well that plan was out the window now. She hesitated. "It's a gravity room that I'm working on for you," She stated.
"Okay I'll tell you but promise not to get mad." She waited for him to answer but he didn't say anything. He just stood there. "It stands for Bulma and Vegeta like together you know," She answered. "Our names just sound so good together. But that's beside the point look I have been thinking about it a lot and I think we should have a baby together. I know you hate me and all but it would only be a baby. We don't even have to be together we could co-parent." That had been the answer to all her problems. A baby would make everything better for her. She wouldn't be lonely anymore. So even if Vegeta did not want to be with her she could still have somebody always there with her.
"You have got to be out of your mind," He said, dismissing her proposal. What did he look like? A half-breed would be a disgrace to his royal bloodline. He couldn't be mad at her. Many women throughout the whole galaxy would want a child with him. She was no different from them. He watched her closely looking into her eyes. He seen desperation, loneliness and something else that he could not place. Then a thought occurred to him. There were no female Saiyan's left. Any child he had would be a half-breed anyways. He shook his head. It didn't matter he wouldn't have children. Then again who would his name live on through if he didn't have a child. She seemed to be the only one who cared for him. He thought about it for a minute and then made his decision. "I will have a child with you but nothing more."
Bulma couldn't believe her ears. Vegeta really agreed to have a child with her. She got up and put her hands around him embracing him in a hug. He didn't stop her but he also did not hug her back. She let him go and started pacing back and forth about all the baby stuff she was going to buy and how they would be the best parents ever.
She knew that he was still going to leave to train in space. So, the only question was when? When were they going to make this baby? And how? Were they going to have sex? Or were they going to go down the artificial insemination route. She had so much to ask him but not right now. She didn't want to overwhelm him. Kami. There was so much to do and so much to plan. "Vegeta I really don't want to ask this but how are we going to make this baby.
"Gods I've agreed to have a brat with a complete idiot." He shook his head. "The only way possible."
"Well there are other way you can put the swimmers in a cup and then I could have a doctor insert them."
He couldn't believe his ear. Humans were really a peculiar species. The weirdest he had yet to come by. Why would anyone want to create a child like that? It just wasn't natural. "Woman I don't know what kind of backwards planet do you live on. My child will not be conceived in such a way."
"Sorry Vegeta, I was just asking because it is fairly obvious that you cannot stand to be in the same room as me. So, I take it as making a baby would be an exception for you? We can start trying right now if you want." She laughed as the expression on his face changed from anger to embarrassment back to anger again. "Vegeta I am just kidding. We can start whenever you are ready. Honestly, I'm worried about how we are going to co-parent if you don't like me. I mean you have to be in the same room as me when I push the baby out. Maybe we can go on a couple of dates just so you can enjoy my company a little more. I think it will be good for us and our child if the parents actually like each other."
"Woman you will only be the vessel that holds my child. I have no intentions on getting along with you maybe I will tolerate but that is all, He replied, aggressively. Even now they had been in the same room for too long. If she didn't shut her mouth he was sure he would change his mind. There were many other females to carry his child. He did plan on destroying this worthless planet after he beat Kakarott. So, if he did have a child with this woman he would have to take the child with him. It wouldn't be that hard to raise a child on his own and by the time this would happen the child would be at least 3 years old. Good. The child could take care of itself well enough at that age. "I have made my decision I will have a child with you but when I destroy this planet I will be taking the child with me. So, you better make good of whatever time you have with the brat."
That was not going to work for her. He was missing the entire point of why she wanted to have a baby. And they both knew he was never going to destroy the planet. He had nowhere else to go. Then again, he could be totally serious. This was a bad call on her part and as much as she wanted a baby she did not want to take the chance of that happening. "No thank you Vegeta," She replied. "I just remembered that I don't want to have a kid with a narcissistic psycho." Fuck that. She would rather have a baby with Goku at least he wouldn't threaten to blow the earth up and take her baby. Too bad he was married. There it was those thought about Goku that wouldn't stop. She was just making it harder on herself. Especially when he expressed that he was never coming back.
She had to see him. She would just die if she didn't see him soon. Goku might have been married but they could still be friends. It wasn't like she would push him for more. Home wrecking was not on her resume and would never be. Vegeta had left when she declined his acceptance to have a child with him. It did not matter to him. She didn't notice his absence till she looked up finding him long gone.
