"Kuso! Not that stupid bitch again!" Vegeta declared as he entered the hospital. He glared down at the woman sitting at the front desk. It was the same lady who had witnessed Vegeta break her front desk the last time, when Bulma's appendix had ruptured. There was a new desk in its place that Vegeta wouldn't think twice about breaking again. However, as soon as the woman looked up and saw who had just entered, she released a terrible shriek and stood up.

"What's wrong? What do you need?" She asked frantically, dry washing her hands. Her breathing had sped up and was now rivaling Bulma's own shallow intakes of breath.

"She's going to have a baby!" With that the woman nodded furiously and gestured for Vegeta to follow her. Bulma let out a short cry of pain as she felt another contraction rip through her abdomen.

"Vegeta," she moaned, barely in a whisper.

"Don't worry woman, we're here now. It'll be over soon." He looked down at her, and found she was far more pale than usual. Her milky soft skin was clammy, and small beads of sweat laced her forehead. Her eyes were squeezed shut in agony as her small hands gripped onto him.

"It's not supposed to hurt this much!" She gasped.

"And just how do you know that woman? Have you ever been pregnant before? Just be quiet, you'll be fine!"

Bulma didn't have time to complain. The lady had soon shown them to a room, and Vegeta lay her down softly on the hospital bed. The frantic woman looked to Bulma and then himself.

"I'll..I'll send help RIGHT away!" She exclaimed, and bolted from the room as fast as her thick ankles could carry her.

Vegeta placed a cool hand on Bulma's forehead and wiped away the perspiration that had formed at her brow. He brushed back stray hairs that had fallen onto her face and then cupped her cheek in his hand. She opened her eyes and looked up at him. Through her quick gasps she smiled slightly. He found himself offering her his own attempt for a grin.

"How's she doing?" A middle-aged doctor said, entering the room. Vegeta turned around to face him.

"She's having a fucking baby! That's how she's doing!"

"I'm guessing you're the father?" The doctor said, striding up to Bulma and harnessing his stethoscope.

"Yes I am!" Vegeta pronounced, walking up beside him.

"How long is the interval between contractions?" The doctor said, looking down at Bulma.

"About... one to two minutes!" She managed, heaving as she did. The doctor's eyebrows furrowed as he looked down at her in worry.

"Ok, I'm Doctor Hensley, call me James. Why don't you see if you can remove your clothing and put on a gown. Then I'll come check on you and see how far you've dilated, ok?" He said, offering her a smile. She nodded her approval and the doctor exited the room.

"Vegeta, get me that gown," Bulma said, indicating the garment hanging on the back of the door. Vegeta did as asked and then walked back to her. Slowly, he helped her sit up.

"All right, put your arms up," he said. She did as asked and Vegeta removed her shirt. He then slid off her pants. Bulma giggled.

"Usually we'd be having sex right now," she said. Vegeta smirked as he unclasped her bra.

"Me, do something like that to a sweaty, panting, pregnant woman? I think not!" He proclaimed as he slid off her underwear. Bulma smiled her reply as he carefully tied the strings of the gown around her neck.

"Am I really that ugly?" She questioned. He raised an eyebrow and appraised her figure.

"You've gained some weight in the mid-section." There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Bulma said. James entered and smiled. He walked to the foot of the bed and pulled up the built in stirrups.

"Just what the hell are those things?" Vegeta bellowed, looking confusedly at the two metal apparitions. James looked up.

"Oh, she's going to put her feet in these, so her legs will be spread allowing room for the baby." He walked over and lifted one of Bulma's legs, placing a foot in one of the stirrups. He then followed suit with the other.

"Ok, now let's have a peak shall we?" James said, going to lift up her hospital gown.

"Just what the fuck are you doing?" Vegeta said, surging forward.

"Vegeta! Stop it!" Bulma commanded. Vegeta froze.

"But he's..."

"He's a DOCTOR!" Bulma said. "He's here to help me!" James looked to Vegeta uneasily and then back to Bulma. She nodded at him to continue. James was slow in following the order.

"Hmm..." He said. "What's your name ma'am?" He asked, looking up.

"Bulma...Briefs," she finally uttered.

"Mrs. Briefs, you've dilated several inches already. Perhaps at a maximum of four. At this rate, your baby might be here far sooner then it's ready. Your contractions are far too close together. However, do not worry, please! I'll give you some medicine to try and control these contractions." Bulma smiled.

"How about something for the pain?" She asked hopefully.

"I'm afraid I can't give you anything for that as of yet. But do not fear! I'll give it to you very soon. Now are you allergic to anything?"

"No," she replied.

"Very well then, I'll be back shortly." He hastily exited the room.

"Vegeta," Bulma gasped. He rushed to her side. She offered him her hand, and he held it gently. She squeezed it with ardor.

"How much does it hurt?" He asked, realizing the question in itself was stupid.

"Like hell! Maybe worse even!" She proclaimed looking up into his eyes.

"You're so damn weak woman! Do you know that?"

"You're so damn annoying Vegeta! Do YOU know that?" He smirked.

"Yes, I pleasure myself in bothering you so." Bulma sighed and smiled.

"Thank you," she offered softly. He looked at her in confusion.

"For what woman?"

"For being here, with me." Vegeta rolled his eyes.

"And just where else am I supposed to be? You forget, you turned the gravity off. I don't know how to turn the damn thing on!" Bulma giggled lightly.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. It's probably gonna take awhile till I can turn it back on."

"I'm Saiyan, I have infinite patience."

"Well I'm woman and I'm having a baby so you'd better not leave!" She screamed as another contraction rushed upon her.

Vegeta gritted his teeth. It would be a long day.
