Chapter nine: Memories IV
::FLASHBACK::
"Daddy daddy daddy I wanna go to the park I wanna go to the park now!!" Bra yelled, running around the house crazily.
"How can a two year old be so hyper?" Vegeta asked himself, following his little girl, making sure she didn't run into the wall or something. Trunks was outdoors, running around and sparring with Goten, and Bulma was in her lab working on an important project. She would be going out of town in 4 days to present it at a meeting in Osaka, 200 miles away.
"Princess, I don't want to go to the park" Vegeta said, following the toddler into the kitchen. Bra turned around and glared at him.
"I wanna go NOW!" she screamed, jumping up and down.
"Vegeta take your daughter to the park!" Bulma cried from the other room.
"UURRRRGGG FINE!" Vegeta yelled back. Bra stuck her tongue out at her father.
"Bra wins! Bra wins!" she yelled, running around in circles. Vegeta raised an eyebrow, wondering what his daughter was high on.
"Go upstairs and get your jacket, I need to talk to mommy for a minute" Vegeta said, walking into Bulma's office as bra crawled up the stairs.
` "Woman!" Vegeta barked as he reached his wife.
"WHAT?" Bulma retorted, annoyed.
"Come with us?" Vegeta asked. Bulma slowly turned around.
"Vegeta, I have this huge project, and its not done yet! It needs to be completed by Thursday!" she complained
"Today is only Sunday. You have time sweetheart" Vegeta purred, knowing she wouldn't be able to say no to a petname like that. Bulma smiled lovingly. "Oh….alright" she agreed. Vegeta smirked and secretly praised Kami that the woman wasn't going to make him watch his crazy daughter by himself.
"Trunks! Come on we are going to the park!" Bulma called to her son.
"Can Goten come too?" Trunks called back.
"Sure!"
Trunks and Goten slapped high fives and took off into the air. Vegeta scooped Bulma up, who was carrying bra, and they all flew to the playground.
As soon as Trunks and Goten touched down, they immedietly began to throw sand at random people, laughing evilly. Bulma jumped out of Vegeta's arms as soon as he landed and scolded the two boys. Bra squirmed out of her mother's arms and ran to the slides. Vegeta crossed his arms and glared at everyone at the park. Seeing his glare, everyone calmly grabbed their kids and ran away, leaving the park to the Briefs.
"Daddy daddy push me on the swing!"Bra cried, motioning for her father. Vegeta strolled over, set his daughter on the swing, and pushed her gently. Bulma ran over and jumped on the next swing.
"Push me too!" Bulma said, winking at Vegeta. Vegeta rolled his eyes and shoved bulma off the swing into the sand.
"HEY! Asshole!" Bulma yelled, but quickly suppressed her screams when Vegeta fell on top of her. Behind them, mad giggling was heard. Bulma and Vegeta looked up at their attacker, seeing Trunks and Goten laughing.
"I'll get you for that" Vegeta snarled. But instead of being the shit out of the boys, he leaned down and kissed Bulma forcefully. Bulma immedietly wrapped her arms and legs around Vegeta and kissed him him back.
"AAHH!!" Trunks yelled, covering his eyes. He peaked out and looked around, making sure no one was looking. Goten looked away, embarrassed for his friend.
"Stop! Stop! Its too embarrassing! Stop it!!" Trunks yelled frantically. Bra laughed and laughed, kicking her legs on the swing. Vegeta sat up again and smirked.
"Don't try anything smart again and I wont do it again" he said. Bulma sat up and brushed herself off.
"Not that we mind too much"
Half hour later, Bra was burying herself in the sand, and Trunks and Goten were sparring, and Vegeta and Bulma were sitting at a picnic table talking.
"So how long are you going to be gone?" Vegeta asked, wrapping his arms around Bulma's shoulders, leaning his head on hers.
"mm….2 days…3 at the most" Bulma replied, kissing his hands that lay before her.
"I'm going to miss you" Vegeta whispered timidly, not sure how she'd react.
"Eh I won't miss you" Bulma said casually. She grinned and turned her head towards Vegeta, who was staring at her with a mix of shock and hurt. Bulma giggled and pinched his cheek.
"You are so cute when you're caught off guard!" she said. Vegeta growled.
"Why you little-"
Bulma jumped up and ran into the sand. Vegeta ran after her, chasing her down. Bulma raced up the playground steps, vegeta right on her tail. She jumped up and was about to climb down the wiggly bars when Vegeta grabbed her arms and pulled her to him. He sat down on the wiggly bars and pulled her down so that bulma was straddling his legs. Vegeta pulled her into a deep embrace and kissed her, hard. Bulma giggled against his lips and toyed with his hair.
All the while, bra wasn't paying the least bit attention and had started building a sand castle, while Trunks and Goten were just noticing Bulma and Vegeta's making out.
"GAWD! Not again!!"
"Trunks, why do your parents always do that"
"I don't know Goten, I really don't know"
::END FLASHBACK::
That was the last time we were all together as a whole family like that.
And I'm in
so totally wrapped up
Emotionally attracted
So physically acting
So recklessly I need you
So desperately sure as the sky is blue
Baby I love you
I love you
