'Hey, Vegan!'

'Oof!'

Vegan walked right into that idiot; she always hate that technique of his.

He was wearing a suit, and he smelt of vanilla and sugar.

'Uh, hi...' he said nervously, 'you look pretty.'

'Dad,' chirped Goten, 'did you talk to mom?'

'Yes.'

'Why did he have to talk to your mom?' Asked Trunks.

'I don't know; Gohan just told me to tell him.'

'Move out of the way, Kakarotto.' She said as she pushed past him.

'I wanna talk to you.' He whined.

What could he possibly want to talk about?

'I have to talk to Dr. Briefs.'

'Why?'

She paused; should Kakarotto be informed?

If her suspicions are correct, then he has to know...

She looked over at the children; Trunks probably figured what was going on, but Goten...

'I'm... sick.'

'I bet Dende could heal you.' Goten said sweetly.

'She's already here!' Trunks replied quickly as he grabbed her wrist. 'My grandpa can make her better.'

'I can use my instant transmission to-'

'No,' Trunks began, 'I-'

'I need to talk to her!' He said as he scooped her up bridal style.

'Wait-'

They materialized into Dr. Briefs' lab, startling the older man.

'Goku, Vegan?' Dr. Briefs said, surprised. 'Bloomer told me you left.'

'That is not the case.' She said as she tried to wiggle out of his grip. 'Would you put me down!

'I wanna talk-'

'Put me down; I need to talk to the doctor.'

'Ok-'

'Go outside.'

'Huh? But I wanna talk-'

'And I need to talk to him! I told you I'm sick.'

'Oh, what's wrong?' Asked Dr. Briefs.

'Yeah, what's wrong?'

'Kakarotto! Go outside.'

'I want to talk!' He growled.

'We'll talk later!' She said weakly. 'Go outside, and don't let anyone in.'

He pouted but went outside, shutting the door behind him.

'So, you're sick?'

'Yes... I think.'
*****

'Where's your mother!' Barked Chi Chi's voice behind him.

Trunks turned to find Goten's mother and Yamaha standing behind him; Goten's mother looked pissed as usual.

'Goku kidnapped her.' Trunks barked back.

Trunks raced towards his grandfather's lab; he didn't have time to listen to her scream about Goku training and Goten and his brother studying.

Could mom be...?

Trunks shook away the thought and found Goku standing outside the lab.

'What's wrong with my mom?'

'I don't know; she kicked me out.' Goku said quietly.

'Why do you want to talk to mom?'

He paused, then laughed that stupid laugh of his. 'Oh, you know!'

'No, I don't.'

'Grown-up stuff.'

'Such as?'

'I... training and stuff...'

Training and stuff...

Trunks were no idiot; he knew that Goku and his mother were the only sayings alive.

A boy and a girl...

He spent the whole tournament running behind her; Trunks thought it was creepy.

'What about training?'

'Uh... you know...'

'No, I don't.'

'Goku!' Chi Chi's voice called.

Goku sighed; Trunks turned to find Goten, Chi-Chi, and Yamcha running up.

'Great.' He said quietly.

'Where is she?!' She shrieked.

'Getting examined.' He said.

'She's sick.' Trunks roared.

'I don't want her anywhere near my children!'

'Where's Vegan?' Bloomer demanded breathlessly as he raced up to them.

'In the lab.' Trunks told him. 'Grandpa is examining her.'

'I'm going in there-'

'She wanted to be alone-' Goku said quietly before Chi Chi pushed him away.

'Move.' She demanded, opening the door. 'You stay away from my husband!'

'You had one job, Kakarotto.' Vegan replied quietly as ChiChi rushed to her. 'Ex-husband.'

'I will not let you destroy my family.'

'How can I?' Vegan replied with a smirk as she got Dr. Briefs' table. 'You beat me to it.'

Chi Chi threw a fist at her, but Vegan caught it effortlessly and laughed at the woman cringed in pain.

'Are you serious?' She said she asked in a deadly voice.

'Vegan stop!' Goku demanded.

'Are you sure you want to go down this route? It'd be like ripping a Kleenex.'

'Vegan, please.' Bloomer pleaded.

She scowled but let go of the woman and grabbed her shoes; Goku and Goten went over to ChiChi.

'What's going on?'

'Kakarotto,' she said sharply as she approached him, 'we must talk in private.'

'Huh?'

'We need to talk.' She said slowly. 'In private!'

'No!' Chi-Chi screamed. 'You're not running off with my husband, you slut!'

'Hey, wait a minute-' Bloomer began.

'Excuse me?!' Vegan turned to her. 'What did you say?'

'Slut!'

'Don't call my mom a Slut!' Trunks replied heatedly.

The adults looked at him, and Goten, Vegan, turned to him.

'Trunks...' Vegan said quietly as she rubbed his shoulders. 'Could you sit outside for a second? I need to tell you something.'

'What's going on?' He asked.

'Tell him!' Chi Chi demanded. 'Tell your son!'

'Tell him the truth.' Yamcha cried.

'Ok, the truth then.' Vegan replied quietly. 'Is that what we want, then?'

'Yes!' Said Yamcha, Bloomer, and Chi-Chi in unison.

'Kakarotto and I were sulking one night; I was angry at your father because I caught him in bed with Yamcha,' she said bluntly as Trunks looked at Yamcha and his father; Yamaha paled as Bloomer looked away,
'Kakarott was upset after Chi-Chi divorced him, and he found her out on a date, not with the man she brought here,'

Goten looked at his mother, her cheeks redden, and she screamed, 'Get to the point!'

'Oh, but I thought you all wanted the truth...'

'How many people have you dated?' Asked Goten, looking at his mother.

'What's this all about?' Bloomer asked. 'What are you trying to say?'

'Kakarotto and I... how do you say... hooked up.'

Both Bloomer and Trunks looked at her. 'What?' Was their joint reply.

'Has long has this been going on!' Bloomer growled.

'It was only the one time,' said Goku.

'It happened after I left Capsule Corp!' Vegan replied sharply. 'And after Chi-Chi began dating another man! In other words, it's our business and ours alone! No room for nosey,' she glared at Bloomer, 'or controlling ex.' She shot a stabbing glare at Chi-Chi.

I'm not controlling!' Chi Chi snorted.

'Right.' Vegan grabbed Goku's tie. 'We need to talk in private.'

'Ok...' he said as he put two fingers on his forehead.

'Hold it!' Bloomer growled as he grabbed on to Goku. He and Vegan could vanish, taking all of them away.

Trunks raced out of the room.
*****

'Bloomer?' Vegan scoffed as she let of Goku's tie. 'Must you always behave like a spoiled child!'

He couldn't believe it.

He couldn't believe it!

The two of them, together...

'You use our son's birthday to broadcast your... affair.'

'We're not having an affair, and you slept with Yamcha while we were still together!'

'An affair something married people have, you and Vegan were never married.' Goku said with a cheeky grin.

Smug bastard.

Bloomer threw a punch that simultaneously hit Goku in the face and inadvertently broke his hand; they both howled in pain.

'Stop behaving like children!' She said as she sat down on the couch.

They were at Goku's house; it looked like it could use a broom.

'He broke my hand!'

'You hit me!' Goku whined.

'Shut up!' Vegan's stentorian voice called.

She looked ready to puke, Goku rushed over to her.

'What's wrong?' He asked.

'I don't feel good.' She said as she rubbed her throat.

'Why?'

She paused, glancing at Bloomer for a while, then turned to Goku.

'Take Bloomer back to Capsule Corp.' She said. 'We need to talk.'

'I'm not going anywhere!' Bloomer growled as he flopped down on the other end of the sofa.

'We need to talk alone.' She hissed.

'That's too damn bad!' Bloomer snapped as he folded his arms. 'I'm stranded here!'

'But, I want to talk about that night.' Goku said as they sat between them.

'I don't want to hear about that!' Bloomer growled.

'But, it's all I want to talk about.' Goku said.

'Me, too.' She said deadpanned.

'Really?!' Goku turned to her, grinning as he grabbed her hand.

He didn't want them to talk about their... romp!

'It comes back in bits and pieces, you on your back, crying out

'Goku!'

'Do you remember?'

She looked away from her, but the blush on her cheeks confirmed that she did. Goku turned red and scratched his head; Bloomer couldn't believe what he was witnessing.

'Could it be possible that you and I-'

'Goku, shut up, or I'll hit you again!'

'We told you that we wanted to talk about it; this is my house-'

'Find something else to talk about!'

'Are you divorced?' She said quietly. 'You and Chi-Chi, are you separated?'

'Yes.'

'Why are you asking?' Bloomer demanded.

'I don't need any pesky ex-wives thwarting my plans.'

She's already making plans?!

'What are your plans?' He demanded.

'None that involve you.'

'What did you want to talk about?' Goku asked.

'We need to be alone, so I will wait until we're alone.'

'Ok...'

She began twirling her hair, Goku loosened his tie and got comfortable, Bloomer looked between them and jumped up furiously.

'Are you just going ignore me!'

'Yes.' They said in monotonous voices.

Bloomer turned away from them, fuming. 'You two are the most immature-'

'Mom?' Trunks' voice called out.

Vegan, followed by Goku and Bloomer, got up and went over to the door; the boy burst into the house.

'I... uh, are you alright?'

'I'm fine...'

'What did grandpa say?'

Oh, that's right... she wanted to be examined...

Bloomer got a sinking feeling as he glanced at her. Was she sick?

'What's going on?' Asked Goku.

'Can't you feel it?' Trunks sneered.

Goku paused for a second, then glanced over at Vegan intently.

'I feel it...'

'I can't!' Bloomer growled.

'Mom's pregnant!'

Pregnant? How the hell can she be pregnant!

Bloomer looked at Vegan; she stared at Goku; he looked at her for a second confused, then nodded.

'I don't know what you plan on doing, but whatever you decide, I'll be there for you.'

Vegan nodded and turned to the door. 'Where are you going?' Bloomer asked.

'I need to think...' Vegan said quietly.

'Are you well enough to fly?' Asked Goku. 'Maybe you should stay here; I can take care of you. I mean, if you decide to have it, I will have-'

'She does not have it.' Bloomer replied stiffly.

'You're not involved in this.'

'Like hell, I'm not!' Bloomer snapped. 'You two can barely take care of yourselves; how the hell are you going to take care of a child!'

Vegan went upstairs, shutting the door behind her.
