Somewhere out There

Part Two

* And even though I know how very far apart we are*

Bulma slid the door closed behind her. The night was quiet and warm and the breeze caressed her skin like the breath of someone long gone. Pulled her flowing white nightgown closer around her, trying to forget the surge of memories that feeling brought back.

*It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star *

She placed a hand on her stomach and grimaced. How will I keep him? This child who is the reason Vegeta left and the reason I disgust him so. How can I raise him when every laugh, every smile is traced with a deep hatred for the loss he has caused me? Living without a father and with a mother who resents you is no way to have a childhood, not to mention the problems of raising a Sayjin who could blast me into oblivion at the age of seven!

*And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby *

Oh wonderful, tears. Well this is great proof of your strength without a man to lean on. Vegeta would never have cried if he were put in my situation. Tears are for lesser mortals, not honorable princes who walk tall among the sharpest and most deadly of men. He tripped up with me, didn't he? Stumbled and lost his balance of hate and rationality for long enough to impregnate me. So here I am Vegeta, and tell me oh mighty one, how can I hate you this much and still long to be in your arms again? How shall you have me go through this life with a bastard child I can't raise and a heart I can't fix? While you're out there with all your answers what do you expect me to do? I can't hate you and love you forever, it's tearing me apart.

* It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky *

And thus both Vegeta and Bulma fell asleep. Vegeta with blood tears on his face and Bulma with cold rain catching on her hair like so many stars among the dark blue.

*Somewhere out there,

If love can see us through,

We'll find one another.

Some where out there

Out where dreams come true. *
