"Okassan, Goten and I are going over to Bulma-san's now." Gohan called following his brother out the door

"Have you done all your homework yet" inquired a voice from the kitchen

"Just finished."

"Alright you can go." Chichi paused thinking, "I know it's not a school night, but when will you be back?"

"Well…" Gohan put one hand behind his head as he thought in a style reminiscent of his late father," I'm not exactly sure we were going to do some training with Trunks, so it could be late."

"Well if it gets too late you can just spend the night, alright?"

"Hai, Kassan" he suddenly perked up. "I might even get some time in the gravity room with Vegita-san."

"Just be careful Gohan-chan, he can be very rough and you and Goten are all I've got left."

"Hai" He stepped out of the small house he shared with his mother and brother. "Goten?" His brother was nowhere in sight. Gohan immediately concentrated to locate his brother's ki. Tracking it easily he leapt into the air and headed towards it. Superior speed allowed him to catch up quickly, in a matter of seconds he was flying beside his young brother.

"Niichan you should have waited for me." His voice easily portrayed his agitation

"Gomen Oniisan, but I really wanna see Trunks."

Gohan gave his brother a small smile. //He's so much like Tousan, so innocent it's impossible stay mad at him. //

They landed a remote portion of Satan City, and jogged the rest of the way to Capsule Corp.

"There it is," said Gohan pointing to an odd dome-like structure dominating the landscape.

Gohan smiled as he watched his enthusiastic brother run to the door and begin repeatedly pushing the doorbell. He was abruptly distracted as he sensed a large ki speeding away from capsule corp.

"Vegita-san?" he whispered quickly identifying the unique ki. //Where's he going in such a hurry? //

His attention quickly reverted to the door when Trunks, literally, threw it open.

"Come on Goten, Otousan isn't in the gravity room so we can use it till he gets back." He sidestepped in order two allow the brothers to enter.

"Can we eat first, I'm sooo hungry." Goten's voice held a hint of starving desperation as he looked longingly at the kitchen

"Alright, but mom's busy so we have to find our own dinner."

"I don't care what it is just so long as there's lots" Goten commented before following his friend towards the kitchen and the Briefs' well stock refrigerator.

Gohan wandered into the living room uninterested in whatever culinary "delight" the two boys were undoubtedly going to create form handy junk food. He flopped down on the large overstuffed leather couch and casually began flipping through one of Bulma's fashion magazines, which she had left on coffee table.
He breezed through dozens of pages covered with pictures of under-feed supermodels in overly revealing outfits and excessive makeup.

"I don't know why she buys these things she's way prettier than all the girls in here."

That was when the boys appeared with their great masterpiece and three spoons.

"We call it chocolate nacho surprise," announced and ecstatic Trunks.

"The surprise is under the pizza and next to the bubble gum and you'll never guess what it is." rattled Goten

"Ano… it looks delicious you guys really, but I just remembered I had to talk to Bulma-san about… helping me study for a test Monday on…um the relevant connections between Finastef's theorem and sunspots so I think I'll go find her now, ja ne.

"Oh well, more for us then huh Goten?"

"Yeah lets eat."

The first logical place to look was her lab, but it was obvious that although she was currently working on many projects she wasn't, anywhere inside the maze wires and circuit boards.

//Odd she usually comes here after a fight with Vegita. // Arguments between the couple were well known, especially for their intensity. //I don't know why she stays with him, the way he hurts her is just so wrong. But she seems to love him despite it all, even managed to have his son. //

He closed the reinforced steel door of Bulma's lab; the entire room had been built to withstand any accidents that might occur.

//Vegita had flown out their bedroom window maybe she's still there? //

Gohan quietly walked down the hall adjoining the master bedroom to rest of the house, before finally coming to stop before the door.

It was open a crack, but as he moved to open it he heard the faint sounds of someone crying.

"Bulma-san?" He quietly inquired. //So help me if Vegita-san hurt her…//

He gently pushed the door open and glanced around the room

Bulma had already gotten off the bed where she had been muffling her sobs in the pillows.

"Gohan-kun I forgot you and Goten were coming over today." Her voice was slightly trembling even after she had plastered on a fake smile and forced herself to stop crying.

"Bulma-san are you alright? I saw Vegita-san leave just a minute ago, he didn't hurt you did he?"

"No more than he normally does," she whispered sitting back on the bed. " I mean I know he's lost his people and he doesn't even have Goku to challenge anymore, but we've al lost people we love, and it's no excuse for being a complete Kusotare all the time," she fumed.

"Gomen Bulma-san I didn't know things were that bad, " he said quietly sitting next to her
.
"Yeah well, I didn't want Trunks growing up thinking this is what all relationships were like. So I tried to keep our worst arguments private. " She sighed before retrieving a box of Kleenexes from the nightstand. "But this time he has just gone too far, over the years I've gotten used to him insulting me, my parents and my friends, but he has no right to go torturing his own son." Her voice had taken on a dangerous edge as she began her recount of the day's earlier happenings. "He has just spent the last to weeks training with Trunks for the upcoming Budoukai, and then about a two hours ago he was training alone and Trunks wanted to join him. But he said that any training Trunks did would be pointless because weaklings did not belong in a tournament of warriors."

"But Trunks isn't weak at all I've spared with him before and he's amazing for someone his age. "

"That's just the thing, Vegita has always considered himself better than Goku, so of course he would also expect his son to be better than Goku's as well. But Trunks isn't anywhere near where you were when you were his age, and Vegita can't stand it.

"OKASSAN ME AN' GOTEN ARE GONNA TRAIN NOW!

"TRUNKS HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO YELL IN THE HOUSE?

"BUT MOOOOOMMM"

"ONIISAN AREN'T YOU COMING?"

"Maybe latter Goten," replied Gohan telepathically, to save his sensitive ears from any further harm.

Bulma sighed as she heard the familiar sound of the gravity room powering up for the arduous task ahead. So many times she had heard that sound, but that was how Vegita was…always training, never any time for her. Ironic really she had fallen in love with him even had his child and yet here she was with the son of his rival, even he seemed to care for her more than Vegita.

She slowly looked into his eyes, which reflected with true concern. //Vegita's never looked at e with anywhere near that amount of care, but he never did let his emotions show, if he actually had any, he always said they were a weakness. I guess that's why he always called me weak, I always tried to show him hoe I felt always hoping that maybe, someday, he might love me back. I guess I was just fooling myself, he was just using me to get an heir and now that he has one he doesn't need me any more. But here's Gohan sitting here ready to give up a chance to train just to be with me. //

"Bulma-san are you alright?"

She blinked startled out of her reverie " Actually I think I'm gonna be just fine."

"Are you sure I mean we've only be talking a few minutes."

"Hai, but there are other ways to comfort people other than just talking."

"Nani, Bulma-sa…"

She place her forefinger on his lips silencing him "Shh… don't say any thing," she slowly leaned over and brushed his lips with her own.

"Bulma-san I…"

Gohan-chan, please just stay with me."

"Bulma-san you've just had an argument with Vegita-san and your very vulnerable right now I couldn't possibly…"

"You know…" she interrupted, " that's what makes you different from him, as soon as I broke up with Yamcha Vegita immediately to advantage of my vulnerability. I guess he's been doing it for years, always insulting me, making me fell like I'm not good enough for anyone else, like he's doing me a favor by even looking at me. But you…you actually listen, actually care, I've never really felt good enough for someone like you. So please just this once, stay with me, comfort me…love me.

Gohan looked into her pleading blue eyes and something in him melted. //Those eyes, the only time I've ever seen any like them was in the mirror…after the cell fight. // A single tear fell down her already streaked face and he knew what he had to do.

He leaned forward towards and gently kissed her, her whole body tensed in surprise, then slowly relaxed as she began returning his affection.


She opened her eyes slowly, and moaned as the bright morning light hit her eyes. Bulma immediately did a double take of the sight before her. //Nani, what's Gohan doing in my bed…oh yeah. // She smiled and snuggled deeper into his warm embrace.

"Good morning Bulma-chan, I'm glad you're finally awake."

"Well we were up pretty late, Arigatou for not leaving me."

"As long as you need me I'll be here."

"Arigatou Gohan-chan but I think I can mange now."

He slowly pulled away.

"I understand Bulma-san."

Bulma couldn't remember the last time she had been so happy. Buu had been defeated and Vegita had truly returned to her forever. Bulma held her beautiful newborn daughter in her arms and looked at her young angelic face. Bra's features were much softer than her brother's; in fact she showed absolutely no signs of being related to Vegita at all. She hadn't even been born with a tail like the other half-breeds. Then again she isn't a half-breed. Bulma's smile faded momentarily when she thought about the results of the secret DNA test, she knew she could never tell Gohan or Vegita, not now. Gohan was actually in a serious relationship with Videl, and she had her family to think about. She knew Bra would never learn about her true father, for her own sake as well as Gohan's honor.

Love it, hate it think I should go to hell and take it with me? REVIEW!!!
