"I swear I am going to kill Vegeta with my bare hand when he gets back," Bulma said.
Goku held her hand. "But Bulma we need him for the fight with the andriods. You'll be fine just breathe. He's just testing out his strength."
"Why does he have to test his strength in MY stomach?" She asked. "I wish Vegeta was here I miss him so much. I wish he wasn't ignoring me. He needs to come back already."
"Bulma its only been a week," He told her.
"It feels longer," She cried. "And stop what you're doing. Stop being supportive. Stop coming every time I call you. Just stop. This is not your baby. It's me and Vegetas baby. He should be doing all of this. I appreciate the help but you need to stop. It's not going to win me over. I'm in love with Vegeta. Not you.
Goku moved his hand away from her. That must have been the hundredth time she has told him that in a day. He did not like hearing it. He knew she still had feeling for him. She just had to realize them. "Bulma we can be a family. Me, you and Trunks. Vegeta wouldn't have left you alone if he wanted to be a family. I'm sorry but it's just true."
Bulma sighed. Vegeta could have at least waited for her to have the baby to leave. He wasn't taking her calls either. Maybe he didn't want this baby. Goku wanted this baby. This baby wasn't his but he sure was acting like it was his. What if Vegeta didn't come back? He could just stay in space and let the rest of the Z warriors handle the androids. The thought of Vegeta not coming back made her heart hurt. Goku left his family without a second thought too. So, who was he to say Vegeta didn't want to be a family. "Vegeta is coming back," She said, confidently. "He wants this baby and he wants me. He might not ever admit it but he loves me and I love him too. I want him to become Super Saiyan and if he must leave to achieve it then so be it. At least he told me he was leaving. At least he didn't abandon his family. You are selfish and I don't know why it took Chi-Chi this long to realize that you were not the man for her. I'm glad she found someone else. Maybe they'll treat her better."
"That's not fair. Anytime I've left was to save the world. I know that I wasn't there for Chi but I did my best and I'll do my best for you too. Just give me a chance Bulma you'll see." He couldn't hold himself back any longer he had to embrace her. And she didn't stop him when he held her close to him.
"You are so beautiful," He told her. "I tired of holding myself back. I just want to take you to my room right now and have my way with you."
Bulma knew exactly what he meant by that. She had to get away from him before she did something she regretted. "But you can't," She said. "We can't do that."
"Do you really mean that Bulma?" He asked.
"Yes, now let me go." She tried to say it like she meant it but she knew he wouldn't believe it.
"Just one kiss Bulma and you actually have to kiss me back."
"And if I say no?"
"You won't say no. you want me just as badly as I want you but you can't admit it. Vegeta doesn't have to know you kissed me. I won't tell him and you won't tell him."
"No," She said. She tried to push him away but he just held her tighter.
Goku leaned down and gently kissed her lips. She didn't react at first but after a while she kissed him back. They pulled apart and she took a deep breath. "It kind of felt like you kissed me back," He laughed. "I want to do more than just kiss you Bulma.
"I did and now I feel like crap because I know that Vegeta would never cheat on me. It was a mistake. We can't do that again. Ever.
"But Bulma it felt so good. A second later and I would have had sex you right on the floor right here in this exact spot. And you would have let me. Are you going to tell Vegeta?"
"Why wouldn't I tell him? You are so dumb sometimes. I'm going to bed. This isn't going to happen again."
He watched her walk away from him and smiled. She had feelings for him he knew that much. If she didn't she would have never kissed him back.
Bulma had to get out of this house. Goku was trying to seduce her and she was falling for it. Where did he learn these tactics? Him telling her he wanted to take her to his room had gotten her off alone. She chalked it up to be the pregnancy hormones. Holding herself back was the best way to go. She had already cheated on him by kissing Goku back. Hell, she cheated on him just by letting Goku stay there.
"Bulma," Goku called.
Here he was again. He just couldn't leave well enough alone. He had to push and push until he cracked. Well she had another thing coming for him. If he thought for one second that she was going to crack then he thought wrong. Bulma Briefs was not easy. She opened the door with more force than usual. Calm. She had to stay calm. Stress was not good for the baby. She took a deep breath. "What?" She asked.
"Are you busy?"
"Yes"
"No, you're not.
"Whatever you are about to ask me the answer is no."
"Let's go to the beach. We can take a walk together. Walking is good for the baby. You do want to do something that's good for the baby, right?"
"Who told you that you could use my baby as an excuse to take a romantic midnight stroll with me." She glared at him. Anything just to get close to her. "Whatever let's go. This doesn't mean anything okay it's just two friends taking a walk." She grabbed her coat and pushed pass him out of the door.
He cheered silently in victory. Once she closed and locked her front door behind her Goku swooped her into his arms and flew into the air. "I can fly you know."
"I know Bulma," He told her. The night air was cool against his skin. Having Bulma in his arms made him feel all tingly inside. He always felt this way with Chi-Chi too. He did not want her to be with anyone else but it would be selfish of him to have both women. He also knew that neither one of them would agree with that. It was one or the other and he knew exactly which one he wanted now.
He flew them to a secluded area on the beach. The less populated it was the more the chance that something would happen between them again. And he hoped something would happen again. They walked side by side not saying a word to each other. There was nothing but the sound of waves.
She thought about everything. Everything her and Goku have been through together. It took this long for him to finally act on his feelings for. It was too late. She could never be with him no matter how much she wanted to be with him. She wanted to be with Vegeta more though. Vegeta was more reliable than Goku. He always told her when he left. Goku left for years at a time without contact. She had to admit that she still loved him though. Yes, all the hard work she did to get over him flew right out the window the first time he kissed her. Goku had stopped walking now and he was staring blankly at the ground.
He had just realized that if Bulma was really in love with Vegeta than he had no chance. She had to have loyalty to Vegeta that would stop her from taking things further with him. That kiss had meant nothing. It wasn't enough for him. He ached for more. She had to give more. She wouldn't give more unless he broke her ties to Vegeta. That would a hard task and a lot of work.
"My feet hurt," She complained. "How much walking do I have to do exactly? Trunks can come at any minute. I don't want to wait anymore. I want to meet him right now. I went through a lot to even make him. Do you know how hard it was for me? To be rejected by Vegeta time and time again. I kept trying though. I knew if you weren't the one for me then Vegeta was. I can't explain but I think me and him were chosen for each other. I love him so much and I love this baby. I won't lose them because of you Goku I just won't. Vegeta is not going to be happy with me when I tell him that you kissed me and I returned the kiss. But you know what he'll forgive me because he loves me and I love him. Me and him have a bind that can never be broken. Even now I can feel what he feels. And despite him being annoyed with me I can feel that he misses me so much. I'm sorry Goku. I love you but we will never be together."
Deep down inside Goku felt that there was some truth to her word. "I know that you love him Bulma but I love you too. I have to fight for you. I want to be there for you. I want us to have a bond like that."
"Just stop," She cried. "You are making me very confused right now."
"Is that what you really want, Bulma?"
"Yes"
He sighed. "Then I won't press the matter anymore. I hope you and Vegeta are happy together. But you know me and you could have been happy together. I really wish that I told you sooner. Or I made sure you didn't fall in love with Vegeta."
Bulma was relieved to hear this. "I think you should try to work things out with Chi-Chi."
"Yeah maybe I should," He said sadly. "I'm going to deliver Trunks first though. After he comes I'll go home and work things out with Chi. Can I have a hug? I'm feeling kind of down."
"Sure," She smiled.
He wrapped his arms around her and sighed.
