Sit down for this. Why had she said sit down for this? What in the hell was going on? Vegeta did as she asked, too curious not to. Bulma stood in the middle of the living room, pacing back and forth in front of the couch. She kept looking forward then looking back at him and then looking forward again. It was driving him completely insane.
"Well woman? What are you trying to tell me?" Bulma stopped in her tracks and dry washed her hands. She opened her mouth to speak but then quickly closed it again, not sure what to say. Vegeta stood up impatiently and walked over to her. He grasped her shoulders ever so slightly and gave her a quick jerk.
"Well?" That did it. She looked up at him, eyes wide and said firmly and clearly:
"Vegeta, I'm pregnant."
He sat down.
His mind was racing at the speed of light, millions of thoughts zooming through his head. He had no control. Pregnant she said, with his brat? That was true insanity. Had he really done that to her? Why had he? Oh shit, this was too much. He wiped his hands over his face and then looked up at her.
"Are you sure?" That was all he could say in his current moment of shock.
"Hell yeah I'm sure. Believe me! I've tried everything." He leaned back and looked at her. The blue-haired beauty was pregnant with his brat! His! No, this wasn't possible. He stood up abruptly.
"I'll...I'll be back..." With that he was gone, out of Capsule Corp. without another word.
Bulma stood there stunned as her mother walked in.
"Well deary," the blonde said. "How did he take it?" Bulma contemplated the question and then cracked a smile.
"Well mom, to be honest. I think he took it rather well."

"Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!" ChiChi repeated the phrase over and over again, all the while hugging Bulma and bouncing up and down happily. "Pregnant, pregnant! I'm so happy for you! Oh you must be thrilled." Bulma smiled as she detached herself from her ecstatic friend. "But darling," ChiChi added. "How did he take it?" They sat down at the kitchen table.
"Vegeta? Well, you could say he handled the information about as well as he could have. He left for awhile and thought about things then came back and said: 'Woman, if you're going to have my brat, then I'm training him. He's not going to be some weak Earthling.' After that he just stormed off to the gravity room."
ChiChi nodded her head. The odd couple had been a shock to everyone but they had all soon became used to the idea. In fact, ChiChi couldn't see Bulma with any other man. They really were a good couple, in their own odd way.
"ChiChi, I'm starving, what's for lunch?" Goku entered with his hand behind his head. His stomach made a growling sound and he grinned. "See I told you I'm hungry!" Then he noticed Bulma. "Oh hiya Bulma! Haven't seen you around in awhile!" ChiChi ran up to Goku and kissed him on the cheek.
"Lunch will be out in a couple of minutes, Goku, but guess what!"
"What?" Goku said, sad he'd have to wait so long for lunch.
"Bulma's going to have a baby!" Goku's eyes widened ever so slightly, and he smiled. The big man walked over to Bulma and gave her a hug which nearly suffocated her.
"Gee Bulma that's so amazing! Wow! How about that, ya know, I knew one day you'd want a kid!" He sat down at the kitchen table. "So when did you find out?"
"Oh, a few weeks ago. The baby's due sometime in May, I think that will be good."
"Oh that would be great! A spring baby!" ChiChi asserted.
"Yeah I guess so." ChiChi frowned.
"Bulma, you aren't having second thoughts are you?" Bulma looked up in surprise.
"ChiChi, why would you think that? I...I guess I am a little nervous. I mean this is something I've never done before. I'm afraid of the little things like my stomach getting bigger and stretch marks and mood swings and oh Kami what have I done!" Bulma put her head down on the table and sobbed. ChiChi smiled and walked over to her, putting a reassuring hand on her back.
"Bulma, I never had any stretch marks, I'm sure you won't either."
"ChiChi," Bulma said through her sobs. "It's not just the stretch marks...What if I'm a bad... mo..ho.. ther...what if I suck at being a parent?"
Goku looked on in confusion. Stretch marks? What the heck were those? Why was Bulma crying so hard about having a kid? ChiChi had been just fine.
"Oh Bulma, it's wonderful being a mom. Don't you worry you'll be great at it. I'm sure you'll do fine! Besides, you'll have me and Goku, and everyone else to lean on if you need help." Bulma looked up, her eyes red and puffy. She sniffed and smiled at ChiChi.
"Thank you ChiChi!" ChiChi hugged her friend.
"You'll be fine. Ok?" Bulma nodded.
"Yeah, I hope so."
