Last time, on The Vow:

He shook his head slightly, before frowning at himself. *So what if I made that little bitch a promise? I'm under no obligation to her, or that bastard son of hers.* He raised his hand to fire a blast into the bathroom, and suddenly stopped. He shook his head again to clear his thoughts, before lowering his hand and exiting the room. "Damn her..." He said aloud, before taking to the sky, his ki leaving a bright gold trail behind him...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~*I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eyes *~

"Bulma? Bulma? Are you even listening to me?" Yamcha asked the blue-haired woman in front of him, but to no avail. She had been staring out the window ever since he had gotten there. Every now and then, she would mutter a slight huh? or what? but other than that, she was completely silent, much to the annoyance of the warrior seated next to her.

"What? I'm sorry Yamcha, I guess I'm just tired...Heh, having a baby will take a lot out of ya." She told him, as if more to convince herself than her soon to be husband.

"No....I don't think that's it at all...And, I think you know it." He told her softly, before bringing her into his arms, and giving her a soft kiss on the forehead. "I think we need to have a long talk Bulma. And I don't see any better time than the present."

"Talk? About what sweetheart? I don't see anything that we need to talk about." She said back, more defensively than she would have liked.

~*I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over...
It's not the way I choose to live*~

"Bulma, please, this is hard enough on me as it is. I'm about to do something that I never thought I would have to do. Don't make it any harder than it has to be, ok?" He asked her, the first of many tears sliding down his cheek.

"Yamcha? Honey? What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong? Please, answer me." She begged him, her voice hurried and frantic.

"Damnit Bulma! Please! I'm asking you as nicely as I can... Let me finish." She shut up at the tone of his voice then, it wasn't the calm soothing voice of a boyfriend...this was worse...this was the voice of someone who's heart had been broken. And now, he was going to tell her why.

~*And something somewhere's gotta give
A share in this relationship gets older, older*~

"I was stupid to believe that I could hold you, Bulma. That's the problem with you...You don't want to be held. I thought there for a long time that I could change you, that I could make you stay with me...But, eventually, your eyes settled on someone else..." His eyes became dark at the last part, either out of anger, or regret, or perhaps a mixture of both. Bulma wasn't sure which it was...but, she knew one thing...It scared the hell out of her. "And no matter how much I want to hate him, I can't. I can't hate him, because, I know he can give you what I couldn't. He can give you back your wings. And to tell you the truth, as much as I want to hate you, I can't do that either. The only person I can hate is myself. I hate myself for thinking that I was making you happy. And I hate myself for not seeing sooner what was happening between you and Vegeta." He spat the last word out angrily, as if it might kill him, and in an ironic way, it was. Vegeta was killing him, and he didn't even know it. He laughed aloud a bit at the bitter irony of it all, earning him a shocked look from the woman seated next to him. "Don't give me that look, Bulma. You know as well as I do that you never would've been happy with me. It was all a childish fantasy that we tried to hang on to. But, to put it mildly, we grew up. And, we grew apart. As much as I hate it, I have to let you go now, and I have to let you be happy...Even if it kills me." He told her, before standing from the bed, leaning over, and kissing her. She kissed him back, but whimpered when he broke apart, far sooner than she would have liked.

~*You know I'd fight for you but how could I fight somone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you I don't care if that's not fair*~

"Yamcha! Please, don't. I can't do this by myself...I can't. I am happy! I really am! Please...don't leave me." She begged, her tears flowing.

"I knew this would be hard, but not like this. Bulma, no matter how much I want to change my mind...I can't. I'm sorry for that." He told her, before walking to the crib where the lavender haired baby slept and picking him up. "But, you know what I hate most about myself?" He asked her, a sad smile playing across his features.

"What's that?" She asked back.

"I hate the fact that this little guy isn't mine. He was...there for a split second. I guess that'll have to do, but I would've done anything for him...And, I still will, all you have to do is ask. I'll even stay at Capsule Corp to help you with him if you want, but just until you get on your feet, and in a guest bedroom...That's all I can offer you, I know it's not much, but maybe it'll help." He told her, before lying the sleeping baby back in his crib, and walking to the door. He cast one backward glance to the woman crying on the bed, before walking from the room. He didn't make it far though, he sat in the hall next to her room, his back against the wall, and cried. Just when he thought he could cry no more, a firm hand on his shoulder made him glance up, into the saddened eyes of Goku. The look that passed between them said it all, there was no need for words, and none were exchanged. Yamcha merely stood, embraced the younger man quickly, and walked away, his tears still falling, though not as harshly.

~*Cuz I want it all
Or nothing at all*~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Goku entered the room slowly, careful not to wake the sleeping child. He walked to the bed, and placed a hand on Bulma's shoulder, causing her to jump a bit.

"Goku? Oh... I thought you were...never mind. Well, tell me, what brings you here?" she asked, trying to keep her voice as cheerful as possible.

She failed. Goku saw right through her, just as he always did. He brought up his hand to wipe away the fresh tears that stained her now crimson cheeks. She leaned into his chest, and proceeded to cry, and he obliged her happily, pulling away from her only when her sobbing had stopped, and she seemed to be calm yet again. It was only when He pulled back to look at her, that he realized that it was because she was asleep. He sighed, before lying her down, and covering her with the thing blanket that lie crumpled in a ball at the end of the hospital bed. He stood from the bed, stretched a bit, and walked to the phone to call Chi chi. After he let her know he was going to be late, he plopped down in the armchair next to the bed, and waited. After all, he had come to ask her something...He just wasn't quite sure what that was...Ah well, maybe he'd remember it before she woke up... It was then that he forgot exactly what it was that he had been trying to remember, and 5 minutes later, he had forgotten why he was even there. But, he knew it had to be for a reason, so he sat back, closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yamcha sat on the bed...more precisely, her bed. Tomorrow, he would leave the room, not to come back in it again. But, there was always tonight. And, that was something that he planned on taking full advantage of. He laid back on her side of the bed, and just sat there, relieving all of the memories that had come into play in that very room...in this very bed, for that matter. He smirked a bit at the last idea, before returning to his thoughts. Sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, sometimes just lying there listening to the quiet whispers of the walls, walls that had seen more in there lifetime than most people.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Vegeta entered the hospital room slowly, in a vain attempt to not wake anyone. He walked as stealthily as possible in the pitch black room, to where he knew the armchair sat, he felt around a bit, and soon enough, he was standing in front of the spot where the chair should have been. He sat down quickly, and landed on something hard and lumpy. He silently cursed the nurses for replacing the more comfortable chair, with the hard and lumpy one that was now there. It was then that he noticed that the top of the chair appeared fuzzy, and that it seemed to be...breathing. Vegeta jumped from the chair quickly, giving a startled cry as he did so. The chair jumped after him, though, screaming as it chased him. It was then that Bulma awoke, and flicked on the lights, to find Vegeta and Goku screaming, and chasing each other around the room like a couple of idiots.

"Will someone please tell me what the HELL is going on in here?" She screamed to the two Saiyan warriors, who at that moment looked more like children, than the strongest men on earth.

"KAKAROT?!!" Vegeta screamed, awaking the baby, earning him a very unhappy look from the blue haired woman standing in front of him.

"VEGETA?!!" Goku too screamed aloud. "I thought you were a monster!" The younger saiyan exclaimed, causing Bulma to break down in a fit of laughter.

"A monster? Goku, don't tell me you're still afraid of monsters! You? The strongest man in the world are scared of MONSTERS?" She asked him, in between gasps for air, and loud giggles.

"Well, Vegeta was the one who screamed first!" he exclaimed, trying his best to shift the blame to the Saiyan Prince.

"That's only because my chair was breathing!" Vegeta exclaimed, before realizing just how childish he sounded, and covering his mouth with his hand.

"Alright, both of you, I think I've heard enough, now, what brings you to my room?" She asked both of them.

"Bulma, I think I'll tell you why I'm here later." Goku told her, praying that she'd understand him.

She didn't.

"No sir, you most certainly will not! Now, spit it out!"

"Bulma, I'm sorry, but I can't do that, and um...if you say anything about it again...I'm gonna have to clobber you...with um THESE!!" Goku exclaimed, before pulling a small bag from his back pocket.

"You're threatening me with Jelly Beans? Goku, have you lost your mind? Now, tell me, why are you here?" Bulma asked him, a rather concerned look on her face.

"Well, if you must know, I don't remember why I'm here. But, when I got here, Yamcha was in the hall crying, and you were in here crying, so I'm assuming that something's wrong. See, I told you you didn't want me to say it now! You should listen to me more often!" Goku exclaimed, upon seeing the hurt looked that flashed across her face, and the tears well up in her eyes.

Vegeta just stood there, dumbfounded. *The woman's been crying? And her...mate...was crying too? Why were they crying?* He asked himself, before turning to look at the woman sitting on the bed in front of him.

"Woman...." He said aloud, before allowing his voice to trail off at the end.

"Vegeta...I..."
