**Sorry it took me so long to update. What am I saying? It always takes me forever to update. Anyhow, Merry late Christmas!!! I had a wonderful one and I'd like to know how yours went when you *review*. [He he.] I'm not being nosy I'm just a bit curious. Well thanks for all the reviews. I really appreciate it. I haven't gotten one flame on this fic and I'm hoping to keep it that way. *Sweatdrops* I shouldn't have said that. **

1 Ease My Pain

1.1 Chapter 3

Vegeta gently laid her down on her soft bed. She was still sobbing even though she was sound asleep. He hated to pity her but she looked so miserable. He didn't know how, but the damn woman still looked beautiful. He gave an irritated sigh then left the room as quietly as he had entered.



Bulma barely managed to open her eyes the next morning. They were practically swollen shut. She felt like throwing a pillow at the chirping birds. Damn little bastards!! They didn't have to worry about anything, they just could fly and be free, something Bulma longed for. She rolled over and stuffed her face into the pillow Vegeta had slept with. She could smell his sexy, manly scent. She didn't know how come he never slept with her. He did *sleep* with her but they never did that in her bedroom. Bulma quickly brushed that thought off. She sighed. He wasn't very rude to her anymore, but he wasn't very nice either. Bulma could not understand him and she could not understand why the hell she was thinking about him so much. She was supposed to be mad at him. He had indeed made her screw a very important meeting up. But he had let her cry in his arms. She was so confused.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard Trunks scream/cry. She rolled her eyes and opened the door that was connected to his room. He was on the floor beside the door. He was crying because he was hungry. Just like his father. She picked him up and tried to get him to calm down. It didn't work. He was wailing even louder. She heard heavy footsteps coming up the stairs and she knew it was Vegeta. He slammed open the door and began his tirade.

"Woman get that little brat to shut the hell up. I'm trying to eat my breakfast and I can't because that little half weakling."

"I'm sorry Vegeta but he's hungry and he won't quiet down until he has been fed so you shut the hell up and move out of the way. "

Vegeta growled and stalked back to the kitchen



Bulma once again picked up the spoon Trunks had broken in half and threw on the floor. He was still crying and he cried the whole time he dressed him and herself.

"No no Trunks, you eat with this."

She gave it back to him and he threw it back on the floor and began crying louder. Bulma sighed in exasperation. She carried him into his playroom. Right when she set him down he wobbled over to his blocks, crumbled it to pieces, and began crying again.

"Oh Trunks what's wrong? Your making mommy even more stressed."

Trunks ignored her and began wailing. At that time Mrs. Briefs walked in with Trunks' little sunglasses and hat.

"How about taking him to the park. It's a beautiful morning and I think both of you need to get some nature in your system."

"Your right mom, I think we both need a break."



It was already past noon when they arrived at the park. They had taken so long because Trunks kept on tearing everything they had tried to dress him in. He had finally stopped crying when Vegeta stepped in.

**Flashback**

Trunks was sitting down on the bed and looking up at Vegeta with sad eyes when Bulma walked in the room.

".Saiyans don't cry like little weaklings. You are a royal descendant of Vegetasai and you need to act like it. DO YOU UNDERSTAND???"

Trunks sniffled a little and then smiled a great big smile.

"DADDY!!!!"

Vegeta growled and walked out of the room ignoring Bulma's giggles.

**End Flashback**

Bulma laughed, something she hadn't done in a long time. She decided that maybe Trunks would be a good person to ease some of her stress.



She stayed out all day with her mother and her son. They had a nice time except for when Trunks broke a clown's finger at the small amusement park they went to. He had tried to shuffle Trunks' lavender hair. Trunks grabbed his finger with a mad, determined look on his face. The clown thought it was sooo cute until Trunks twisted it. Bulma had tried so hard not to laugh.

When they arrived back home the sun was going down and Trunks was fast asleep. Bulma and her father had a small conversation about the people that were going to come in a few weeks to try to help them restore their business. Bulma promised her father that she would not screw up the next meeting. She dismissed herself and went to her bedroom. She was extremely tired and decided that she would go to sleep a little earlier than usual. She walked into Trunks' room where he was sleeping. She stared down at him. He had a frown on his face. 'Probably dreaming about killing Freiza Jr.', Bulma thought. He looked like his father even though he had most of her features. As she walked back to her room Bulma then realized that if C.C. ever shut down she would always have her little Trunks. With this thought in mind Bulma fell fast asleep not even thinking about the fact this it was 7:00.

**Maybe this chapter was a little pointless but I always thought that baby Trunks was so adorable!!! Next time: Bulma wakes up and Vegeta is still in bed!!! What's gonna happen??? I guess we're all going to have to wait a whole month to find out. Just joking! I'll get the next chapter out as soon as I can. Also, she has a little accident. Review. Later.**
