Bulma awoke the next morning, feeling nauseous. She rushed to the bathroom. She had to get used to morning sickness. When she was finished she sat by the side of the toilet to rest. Was pregnancy always this hard? She headed back to her room feeling dizzy and had a terrible headache from all the crying and thinking last night. She checked her clock and it read 8:00a.m. She thought she'd skip work today. She got back into bed and went into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Bulma awoke around 12:00. She brushed her teeth, got dressed, and went downstairs. On the way down she got that feeling. :::Vegeta must be in the kitchen::: She continued her way down. Like she predicted Vegeta was there. He was eating lunch. Bulma said good afternoon to him and he said nothing but instead replied, "Bulma I've been thinking" For the first time in years he actually called her by her name. ::::Could he be talking about the baby?::::. "What's the matter Vegeta? Anything I could help you with?" "You know damn well what I'm talking about." "You and the brat". Bulma flinched, she hated the term 'brat' used for a baby. "Do you want the baby, Vegeta?" Bulma interrupted. Vegeta thought for a second. "I can always have an abortion", she continued. "Don't do nothing like that!" "So that means you want the baby!" Bulma screamed excitedly. Vegeta covered his ears. He didn't know what to tell her but he had to tell something. "YES! I want the brat". Bulma nearly fainted. She always thought that he didn't. Quickly her happiness was filled with sorrow again.

She started to think. :::: Does Vegeta love me? Will he love our child?:::: Vegeta, however noticed this change. "What is wrong with you now, Woman?" "Vegeta?" "What!" "Do you love me?" Vegeta paused. He knew he loved her but he couldn't express his feelings to her. Well at least not now. After a minute passed Bulma screamed, "YOU HAVE TO THINK TO SEE IF YOU LOVE ME!!! HOW BIG OF A BAKA CAN YOU GET!!!" With that last statement she ran to her room crying. Vegeta who was still sitting with his lunch jumped. "She should know that I care about her. Why should I tell her." Bulma's mother, who had heard everything went in to the kitchen. She stood in front of Vegeta. " Go tell her how you really feel about her. I can't stand to see her this way and I know you don't either. Please talk to her". With that said she left. Vegeta who hates being bossed around grunted and rolled his eyes. "No weak female can tell me what to do." About 30 minutes rolled by, he finally went to Bulma's room.

"I must be getting weak".

Inside she was standing by the window , flesh pale, eyes dark, she seemed souless. He hated to admit it but he felt sorry for her. She is miserable because of him.

He called her name. No answer. He called her again, still no answer. He went behind her and felt her shoulder. She was cold as ice. His touch, though, seemed to warm her body. She turned around. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. His heart skipped a beat. She looked pitiful. He never expected her to look this horrible. All broken hearted and it all came from him. Why was he always weak against this human?

"Vegeta?" "Yes"he said softly, almost a whisper. "I knew you weren't going to tell me if you loved me or not. *sniff*I just thought I'd ask. I thought that just maybe you would really tell me. That maybe you did care in some sort of way. I really believed that you did. Now I see that you really don't care. You've never shown it or even tried to tell me in hints. Like I said, I know you're not the expressive type but at least try. "

"I've started thinking more about our relationship. Then I thought about the baby. This baby is a mistake. I should have never fell in love with you. "Vegeta flinched this time. That hurt deeply. Her words were calm but he could tell they were painful to say. He finally had someone that really loved him for who he really was. Now he's throwing that away like discarding a planet.

"I knew on the inside you were a better person. I tried to bring that out of you. I desperately tried."

He now felt like a real, complete baka. For the second time in years Vegeta cried. Right there in front of Bulma.

On the otherhand, Bulma was confused. She didn't know why he was crying but it had to be something serious. Was it something she said?

"Bulma, I am sorry for everything you are going through."

................................................................SMACK!...... .............................................

That was a big smack in the face. Vegeta is actually apologizing. Then he's crying. Things are starting to get weirder by the minute. O_o;

"I really do love you. Even if I don't really show it. The truth is that when I'm around you, I get a feeling. Actually a kind of scared feeling. I don't know what for, but I do. And the brat...um baby is not a mistake. He will be my heir. He will carry on the royal bloodline. And I am glad to be his father"

"How do you know it's going to be a boy?" "Ummmm, because I want it to be a boy." By now Vegeta had stopped crying but his eyes were bloodshot red. Evidence he hasn't cried in years. Hell, he didn't even cry for 5 minutes.

"Bulma, I love you very much. I know I don't show it but if it would make you happy, I would try."

With that she gave him the biggest hug of his life. She clung so hard to him that she was cutting off his air supply. She stopped once she noticed that he was blue in the face.

"Thankyou for saying that. You've really made me notice, I'm lucky to have you." She gave him another caressing hug and lead him to the bed where she fell into a happy, dreamless sleep. Vegeta stayed with her for about a hour before returning to the gravityroom but not leaving until he gave her a goodnight kiss on the cheek. She smiled and glowed on contact.
