Ease My Pain
…Chapter 5

**Hey there!! Sorry if it took so long. I'm such a slacker!! In fact the only reason I'm writing this is because I'm sick. Yup, I have a nice 'lil bottle of VICKS beside me. (Not like it helps!!) I don't even know what's wrong. I'm too scared to go to the doctor. I hate needles!!!!! Anywayz, thanks for all the nice reviews. And I mean it. I'm not just saying it so I won't look ungrateful. They were all nice and I especially liked ssjprincess' That makes Christmas cheap!! lol**


Vegeta walked into the kitchen hungry and tired. He had a very intense afternoon in the gravity chamber and he felt like he deserved a snack. He was on his way towards the over-sized fridge when he spotted Bulma laying on the floor unconscious. He walked over beside her and shook his head disappointedly. The woman always managed to show how weak she was. He picked her up effortlessly and walked towards their bedroom.

When he got there he laid her down softly and inspected her body. She seemed to be fine except for the large bruise on her ankle. How the hell did she manage to do that?! He squeezed it slightly and Bulma gasped and woke up. She looked around trying to figure out where the hell she was. He eyes focused on Vegeta who was looking at her with amusement.

"What happened?" She asked hoarsely.

"That's what I'd like to know." Vegeta said as he pointed to her ankle.

Bulma looked at it and tried to move it but a pain shot through her leg and she winced. She tried to think of what caused this but nothing came to mind. Bulma looked up at Vegeta.

"Do you think I'll be able to walk?" Bulma asked expectantly.

Vegeta shrugged. Bulma shot him an irritated glance and tried to stand up. She stood up slowly and was praying that she would be able to walk. When she put pressure on her ankle she let out a yelp. It hurt too much for her to walk but she kept on trying just to show Vegeta that she wasn't as weak as he always said. She walked a couple of steps, trying to ignore Vegeta's intense gaze. By the time she took a fourth step her body was shaking with pain.

"Woman, you know you can't walk so why the hell are you trying so hard."

Bulma growled and turned around ready to give him a piece of her mind, but her body prevented her from doing so. Right when she turned around her leg began to burn all over and she found it hard to stand up. In fact she couldn't. Her face was about to hit the floor but Vegeta easily caught her. He looked down at her and smirked.

" Well woman I guess you can't walk."

Bulma growled and his smirk deepened.


Bulma sat on the couch and sucked on the over-sized spoon that was covered with chocolate ice cream. She thought that having a sprained ankle would be terrible, but she found that it was quite pleasurable. She got to slack off with work and Vegeta and she even had time to play with Trunks, who was sleeping peacefully beside her with his thumb in his mouth. She grinned at how adorable he was. Her thoughts were interrupted when the phone rang. She reached over and turned the speaker on.

"Hello?"

"Bulma, is that you dear?"

"Yes Daddy. Did you need something?"

"No, but I have some great news."

Bulma sat up anxiously.

"Well the gentlemen who cancelled the promotion have changed their mind and they'd like to give C.C. another chance."

"Oh gosh, you're not joking."

"Of course not."

"Daddy do you know what this means? Another chance to revive Capsule Corporation!!"

"Yes I'm aware of that dear, but you must promise me that you won't let anything ruin this."

"Of course not!!!"

"Well I'll let you celebrate."

"Thank you so much Daddy!" Bulma turned the speaker off and squealed with excitement. This caused Trunks to cry, but Bulma didn't care. She picked him up and started to talk to him about how happy they were going to be. Trunks quieted down and he soon began to squeal with her.


**Sorry if that was too short. I'm just too sick!!!! I HAVE A STUFFY NOISE AND STUFFED UP EARS AND A HEADACHE AND AN EYE THAT CRYS BY ITSELF AND A HEADACHE AND EVERYTIME I CLOSE MY EYES IT BURNS LIKE HELL. ARRGGG!!!!! Sorry, I'm sure you didn't want to know any of that. But ohh the pain!! Review please. Maybe that's just the medicine I need. He he….Later!**
