Every other day called the Son residence and each time Chi-Chi had told her Goku was unavailable. He was ignoring her calls. They were best friends. How could he do this to her. It sucked. Vegeta was gone and her parents had come home. Things were back to normal.
Bunny noticed how sad her daughter looked every day and did everything she could do to make her happy again. It hurt her heart to see her little girl so down in the dumps. She wanted to know what was wrong but every time she asked her she said nothing was wrong. Weeks had passed by and she had enough she would find out what was wrong with her daughter. "Bulma." She said, softly. Bulma acted as though she could not hear her. "Bulma I know you hear me. Please just talk to me. I want to know what's wrong with you. You are not your normal self. I'm worried about you honey."
She couldn't say it. She didn't even want to think about it anymore. Goku and Vegeta. She wasn't even sad anymore. She was angry. Angry that they had abandoned her. They probably never even gave her a second thought. They both didn't care about how she felt. Well screw them. Her plans to have a baby were tossed out the window with Vegeta. She couldn't use a kid to make her pain go away. Sitting there being angry or sad would not help her. She had to love herself more. She looked up at her mother who was waiting for her to say something. Say anything. She could do this. "Mom," She began. "I am in love with Goku. I know it's crazy. He's married but I am. It doesn't make a difference though because he will never feel the same because he does not feel the same way and it hurts. Kami it hurts so bad just thinking about it. And I am just so confused because I think I'm in love with Vegeta too. He most definitely does not feel the same way about me. He hates me. He left to get away from me. Goku left me. I chased them way. Why do all the men in my life leave me? Am I really that bad?"
By now Bulma was crying and Bunny was crying too. She held her daughter tight. "I need it to stop," Bulma cried. "I can't anymore. I'm supposed to be a strong woman and here I am crying over two men who don't even miss me. They don't sit up all night thinking about me. Or even cry themselves to sleep every night wishing they didn't love me."
"Oh Bulma, you are strong. You are one of the strongest women I have ever met in my life. I raised you to be strong. You are a fighter. You will never give up. I can't say that I agree with you pursuing Goku but Vegeta is a different story. I think that you should tell him how you feel when he gets back. Honey you know Vegeta, he probably feels the same way about you. He is not one to directly express his feelings."
Bulma sniffled. "You're probably right mom. He did agree to have a baby with me before he left. But then he started talking about blowing up earth and taking my baby with him. Maybe it was just a front. He looked excited when I asked him even though he tried to hide it. I could still see it. The thought of him taking a baby that me and him made changed my mind about it. I felt that he was serious but now that I think about it he wouldn't do that to me. If anything, he would take me with him. I'll tell him how I feel when he comes back. I won't hold anything back. I want to have a baby with him. We can be a family and I am a lot stronger now so he doesn't have to worry about me being too weak to carry a Saiyan baby."
Bunny was happy that her daughter was starting to feel better. She just needed someone to talk to. She wanted her to know that she wasn't alone. She was never alone she had her and her father. There was no doubt in her mind that Vegeta didn't return the feelings towards her Bulma. Who wouldn't love her?
Vegeta came back 6 months later hoping to see Bulma. Everyday his mind was filled with thoughts of her. He was just glad that he didn't have the distraction of her really being there with him. He was hoping to return as a Super Saiyan but he did not achieve it much to his dismay. He was so close he could feel it.
He stepped out of the ship and searched for the woman's Ki but could not sense it. Where was she? He walked into the house and went to the kitchen where the woman's mother was. "Where is the woman?"
Bunny jumped. "Oh, Vegeta hi. Bulma is training she said something about a remote island on the other side of the planet. Do you want the location? Let me fix you something to eat. You must be so hungry after your long space trip. How was it?"
He growled. She always asked so many questions. "Just write down the coordinates." Bunny got a pen and paper and wrote it down handing it to Vegeta. He turned to leave.
He flew the whole way there without stopping. She should be finished with his new Gravity room by now. He couldn't wait to start training. The andriods would be there in 2 and a half years. He had to push himself harder than ever. He searched the island trying to pinpoint her Ki. She had it suppressed for some reason. Finally, he spotted a capsule house. Landing on the doorstep, he opened the door walking inside. The living room and kitchen were both empty.
He heard the shower running in the bathroom so he sat on the couch waiting for her to get out. Once he heard it turn off he got up and waited in front of the door for her to come out. The doorknob turned and the door opened slowly. Bulma had a towel wrapped around her. He could smell strawberries and vanilla. He inhaled slowly taking in the sweet aroma.
Bulma felt him as soon as he landed back on earth. She knew that he would be coming to her so she decided to take a shower and get the sweat off her. She looked up at him and immediately noticed how much stronger he was. "How was your trip?" She asked. She hadn't seen him in months and she had his whole big thing planned where she would throw herself in his arms and tell him how much she loved him.
"Did you finish the gravity room?" He asked, ignoring he question. She was just like her mom.
She pushed passed him and walked into her room and sat down in front if the mirror, grabbing her the brush. He followed behind her and sat on the bed. "I finished that months ago Vegeta," She said, brushing her wet hair. It was now or never. She had to tell him. "Vegeta I have something to tell you." She turned around and looked at him. Her mouth got dry and she half expected herself to cry at any moment now.
"Get on with it already Woman," He told her. He could sense that she was nervous and whatever she was about to say would probably piss him off.
She took a deep breath. "I want to be with you. I love you. I couldn't stop thinking about you while you were gone. I love you so much Vegeta. I can't stand how much I want to be with you and I think you feel the same way about me. We can't be apart again. I never want to miss you as much as I did when you weren't here. I know that you know that I also love Goku but he will never be with me. He has a wife and child. I will never take that away from him. It doesn't matter if he loves me too he will never act on it and I am fine with that. So, with that being said I am going to say it again, I want to be with you Vegeta."
"Fuck," He groaned. He had to fight the urge to tell her he felt the same way. If he made her his mate she could be his and only his. She would belong to him. No one could claim her. It was true he knew how she felt about Kakarott but he had no idea she shared the same feelings for him too. It was confusing. How could he trust someone who's heart belonged to more than one person? His feelings for her were deeper than he would ever admit.
"Tell me you feel the same way," She pleaded.
"You made a fool out of yourself thinking that I would return the feeling but it isn't mutual. The only feeling I have toward you is hate. The word love does not mean anything to me so keep your stupid feelings to yourself."
"That is just not true," Bulma cried.
"Stop crying, you have already made a fool out of yourself. You can redeem yourself by showing me the gravity room."
She grabbed a tissue and wiped away her tears. She told herself that she wouldn't cry if he rejected her. "Okay let me put some clothes on so we can head back to the house."
Vegeta got up and walked out of the room closing the door behind him. Here was a woman confessing her love and devotion to him and he turned her down.
Bulma put her hair into a messy ponytail and grabbed some sweats to put on. Sauntering out of the room and the house she capsulated the house and took off into the sky. Vegeta was already long gone. How would she ever be able to look him in the eyes again?
Getting back home didn't take that long. She trained every day and it was paying off. She strolled into the house where Vegeta was waiting for her. His arms were crossed and it looked like he was annoyed. She just led him to the GR. It was just like the one in the ship so she didn't have to tell him how to use it.
Vegeta knew that he had hurt her feelings. While he was flying back to the house he decided that he would make her his mate. The fact that he would have something Kakarott wanted made it a whole lot easier. He could not wait to see the look on his face when he told him he chose Bulma as his mate. Plus, he did feel slightly guilty for what he said to her. He faced her. "Woman, I will take you as my mate. This does not mean I share those revolting human feelings you feel for me but it does mean we will be together forever. If you can't handle a commitment like that then tell me now because once we mate we can never turn back."
Her heart skipped a beat. "I love you Vegeta. Thank you I will not let you down," She said, hugging him. He tensed at the sudden contact but relaxed and let it slide. He had to get used to it. She was going to be his and he would be hers. Now all he had to do was mark her and go rub it in Kakarott face.
"Okay that's enough," He said. She unwrapped her arms from around him. "I'm going to train now. Do not disturb me."
She was beaming. "I'll just leave it to you then." She grabbed his face, kissing him on the lips. He reluctantly kissed back holding her closer to him. They broke apart and she left with a smile on her face.
