True Love: Ever After
Author's Notes: There you go people the absolute last part of True Love for Bulma and Vegeta. If I write another part, it will be on Trunks and is likely to be very, very depressing.
She stood alone on the balcony looking out towards the horizon, wondering where he was. Wondering if he would ever come back. A single tear rolled down her eye. After all these years, after all the things they went through he couldn't possible want to leave her could he, could he? No he couldn't. That would be cruel. That would be evil and he was not evil any more. The wish with the dragonballs proved that. On top of everything else he had promised, he had promised that he would never leave her. But than where was he? Where was he? What was he doing?
'Thinking.' Came her husband's voice from behind her.
Bulma jumped and whirled around, coming face to face with Vegeta. Screaming his name she ran into his arms. Vegeta's hands came up around Bulma. Gently pressing her against him. 'Where were you? What were you thinking about?'
Vegeta smiled a faint smile, 'I was no where in particular. I just found a quiet spot so I could think.' He said softly.
'But what were you thinking about?' Bulma asked again, while hugging him even harder.
'I was thinking about why you are still with me.' He said slowly. Knowing full well that what he wanted to say he could not have but a few short months ago. Dying really puts things into prospective. 'I have not been a very good husband have I or a very good father.' He said and continued before Bulma could speak, 'I have neglected both you and Trunks and I am sorry.' Vegeta felt unusually relieved to get that of his chest.
Bulma slowly raised her head to meet his dark, dark eyes. 'You are not a bad husband or a bad father Vegeta. Don't you even dare think that. You were always there for us. You stayed with us though your pride kept telling you to leave.' She saw the surprised look on Vegeta's face, quickly being replaced by that of understanding, 'Yes, Vegeta.' She continued, 'I sensed your struggle with you pride. I sensed your love for me and Trunks. The only thing I that I can ever wish for is that just once you would tell me that you love, not with your mind but with your mouth. I don't want anything more from you than that and your company for what remains of my life.' Tears were streaming down her eyes as she made the request of her Prince.
Vegeta took in a breath and exhaled softly, 'I love you, Bulma, with all my heart.'
A feeling of utter happiness washed over Bulma. She closed her eyes and smiled, 'I love you my Prince.' She once again rested her head on his shoulders. 'Now we can leave happily ever after.'
Little Trunks watched his parents from the doorway, not fully comprehending what was occurring. But he found himself wishing one day he too could be like his parents, his father. Unknowingly, Trunks wished for a love of his own.
