Goku had a lot of time to think about things. There were Gohan and Chi-Chi to think about. And there was Trunks and Bulma to think about. He knew that Trunks wasn't his son but just spending time with him and Bulma made him feel like they could have been his family too. He had no idea what he would tell Chi-Chi when he got home but he knew he had to try. She was his wife and they had promised forever with each other just as Bulma did with Vegeta.
So, the question was how mad was Chi-Chi? He had left while they were on bad terms and wasn't sure how he would react to him coming back. She might have moved on already. But if he knew Chi-Chi she would want to be better than him. She wouldn't pursue her feeling like he had gone and done. If she did she probably would have gotten rejected as he had.
It was late at night when he got home. He checked to see who was up and Chi-Chi was sitting in the kitchen alone. He walked into the house and headed into the kitchen. He sat at the table across from Chi-Chi.
"You're back," she said.
"Yes, I'm back," He replied. "Way to see Chi-Chi."
She laughed. "If you came here to fight with me then you have another thing coming Goku. I'm done arguing with you."
Goku looked up in amazement. Chi-Chi didn't want to argue with him? She must be really hurt. She always wanted to argue. "Chi-Chi, I want you back. I'm sorry for everything. I won't chase after Bulma anymore. I love you and I love our son."
"Do you think you can just come back here after walking out on me for almost two weeks?" She asked. "Well, you're right. You can." She jumped over the table and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, Chi-Chi," He said.
"I've missed you so much," She cried. Chi-Chi did not think Goku would really leave. So, when she told him to go and he really left it hit her hard. After the first week, she thought that Bulma had accepted him and they were starting a family together. But he was back now and it was obvious that Bulma rejected him.
"So, I take it things didn't go well with the mystery guy?" He asked. "Can I ask who it was?"
"Well, it was Ebisu."
"The guy who brings the mail?"
"Yes."
"Wow so did you two do anything?"
"No. He took me on one date but it was quite clear to him that my heart only belonged to one person."
Goku let out a huge breath that he did not even know he was holding. It was good to know that her heart only belonged to him even though his longed for another.
…
Bulma was so in love. She loved Trunks more than anything in the world. Aside from being extremely tired, she loved being a mother. He gave her no problems whatsoever. She did feel a little bad for forcing Goku to go home but it was the best thing for him to do. She couldn't take an all-out death match between Goku and Vegeta. Nothing good would come out of that. Only more hurt.
She held Trunks in her arms rocking him back and forth. To her he was the most perfect baby in the world and that was all that mattered. She would cherish the time she had with him because once the androids came who knew what would happen. She had all kinds of weapons in the works for their arrival. She couldn't wait to kick some metal ass.
"Look at my precious grandbaby," Said Bunny. "You know you should really get some sleep. I can watch him. You don't have to be a super mom."
"But I am a super mom," Bulma pouted, handing Trunks to her mom. "You're right though I do need some sleep. I read a book about sids and now I'm to leave him alone. I mean what if he doesn't wake up."
"Oh, don't be scared honey Trunks will be fine," She assured her. "He is half Saiyan after all."
"But he's also half human," Bulma countered. "I just need to relax. Nothing will happen to my baby. They say that its normal to have concerns about these kinds of things."
Bulma said nothing else and left out of the nursery before she changed her mind. Her mother was right Trunks was not a regular baby. He was a Saiyan baby. And they sent Saiyan babies into space by themselves. Which was something she would never do but that gave her an idea of how much a Saiyan baby could endure?
She went into the bathroom and ran her a warm bath. There was a loud noise outside. Vegeta had come back. "That was fast," She thought to herself. He must have been really close to his ascension when he left because he would have never come if he didn't reach Super Saiyan status. He didn't know she wasn't at their house on the other side of capsule corp so he would most likely go there first. She wouldn't worry about it. If he thought she would come running as soon as he got back then he had another thing coming. She took off her close and got into the water closing her eyes and relaxing.
After a few minutes, Vegeta walked into the bathroom. "Woman why are you here," he asked.
She opened her eyes to look at him then closed them back choosing to ignore him. He started taking his armor off. "What the hell are you doing Vegeta?" She asked.
"What does it look like?" He replied. "Wait you were pregnant when I left. But barely. I don't feel any other Ki from you. Did you lose it?" He was almost afraid to ask. He acted as though he wasn't excited when she told him she was pregnant but the truth was he was happy to finally have a baby.
"No Vegeta," She said. "He's in the nursery with my mom."
He sighed in relief. "He must be really small. You weren't even showing when I left."
She rolled her eyes. "He's a full-term baby. And I'm fine thanks for asking."
He just grunted and got into the tub with her. Right now, he had everything he wanted. He was going to beat the androids and then beat Kakarott. Speaking of Kakarott. He noticed Bulma smelled like Kakarott.
"Why was Kakarott here and why do you smell of him?" He demanded.
"He delivered Trunks," She told him.
"Woman I swear if you did anything with that third class I'm going to punish you," He threatened.
"Vegeta calm down I literally just had a baby yesterday. I wouldn't think about doing anything with anybody right now. I'm in so much pain." She turned around so she was facing him. "I really wished you could have been there Vegeta. I needed you."
He felt at little guilty for not being there for the birth of his first child but there was always the second to think about. Or the third and now that he was a Super Saiyan he would be there for those. "And what kind of name is Trunks," He changed the topic, watching her expression from sadness turn into annoyance.
"I don't know ask future me," She said. "She's the one who named him that. I just went off what Goku told me. He said that the boy from the future is our son and that his name was Trunks. So, I named him Trunks. It's a cute name. He's a cutie just like his daddy."
"That boy from the future was ours?" He asked, ignoring the last part.
"Yes," She confirmed.
"I should have known," He said. He would give that boy a piece of his mind if he came back.
"Anyways like I was saying Trunks is so cute. He is the most perfect baby in the world. He has the most adorable little yawn and he doesn't really cry. And he has this little smile that brightens up my whole day."
"You've known him for literally a day," Vegeta said. "How long was Kakarott here?"
She didn't want to tell him about Goku yet. Or the kiss. "For as long as you've been gone," She answered. "He came when you left."
He stood up abruptly. "So Kakarott thinks he can make the moves on my woman while I'm gone and get away with it?" He said, powering up to Super Saiyan.
Bulma jumped up too. "Vegeta what the hell?!" She half screamed.
"Tell me everything that happened."
She groaned. "I'll tell you after I get some sleep."
"No, you'll tell me now."
"Stop being childish. Vegeta you can't go fight him right now. What if one of you dies. We don't have time to look for the Dragon balls."
"You mean YOU don't have time to look for them," He corrected her. "That fact that you think whatever he did is worth me killing him over just makes me want to know even more. Start speaking right now."
She pinched the bridge of her nose. Being naked with Vegeta and telling him that Goku kissed her and she kissed him back is not how she pictured telling him. "Now don't be mad Vegeta," She began, taking a deep breath. "Goku kissed me and I kind of kissed him back. But wait before you get mad it was a natural reaction and as soon as I got a hold of myself I pushed him away. It didn't mean anything to me I promise. It was the pregnancy hormones. You had just left and I was feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm not making excuses for what I did. I know it was wrong." She studied his face. When she began he had an amused look on his face but now he was noticeably pissed off.
"You know it's taking everything in me right now to not blast you where you stand. But who will take care of that brat if I kill you? I know that all your weakling friends will have you back within the week but I wouldn't be able to handle a week with a newborn child. So, I will let you live. I may never trust you again. I'm not even sure that I want you anymore now that you've willingly kissed my enemy and enjoyed it. As for him, I will kill him as soon as these blasted androids are beaten. But if I see him anytime before that I will not hesitate to do it."
Bulma was now crying. She knew that Vegeta would be mad but he said he wasn't sure if he wanted her. it wasn't like she had sex with Goku. It was one kiss not a pledge of eternal love. Maybe to him, it was because he knew how she felt about him. "I'm sorry Vegeta," She said. "It won't happen again."
"It won't happen again," He assured her. "Because before it can happen again I'll kill him and then I'll kill Kami so that no one can resurrect him with the dragon balls. And then I'm going to go to Namek and kill the namekians so they can't resurrect him with those balls either." He smirked at the horror on Bulma's face.
"You wouldn't," She challenged.
"Oh, I would and no one would be able to do a damn thing about it," He said.
Bulma heard Trunks crying and stepped out of the tub without even looking at Vegeta. This wasn't an empty threat that he made. She knew that he would really do it. And that's what scared her. But it also sounded as though he was saying if it ever happened again he would. She thanked herself for not letting it go any further than a kiss. He grabbed her arm and pulled her to his body, kissing her.
When they parted his voice had a tone of threat in it. "I am the only one that'll be kissing you Bulma."
She knew what he meant. "Yes, Prince Vegeta," She replied, walking out of the bathroom.
