Chapter 2. Bra's condition

Trunks followed the doctor into the room. Bulma's head shrugged and she leaned against Vegeta, who didn't even push her away. Vegeta could feel Bulma needed him right now. He never liked it when she hugged him or leaned against him, in fact, he hated that, but right now it was okay. Maybe because he was feeling awful. Not that he did care about the little brat, but this whole thing could affect their relationship. And that was what scared him. Changes. His whole life was one big mess, and after he finally settled down and found some rest and peace, it would be horrible if everything would change. He was sure he would die if that would happen. His relationship, although he never showed it, was the most important thing for him on earth, no, in this entire universe. He wasn't looking for power or dominating races anymore. He was happy, here on earth. A stupid accident like this could change everything, and that was impossible for him. It would only happen if the brat would die, or maybe she was already dead. He took a look at the doctor, who just came in. The man didn't look very pleased. A bad feeling took place in his heart. 'I am so sorry I have to tell you this..' the doctor said softly. Vegeta knew what was going to happen. He felt the woman next to him shocking and crying. She held his arm tight to her chest. 'The injuries where to complicated. Her guts detonated when she hit the ground. And even if she did survive, her back was broken. She would sit the rest of her life in a wheelchair.' Bulma silently started to cry. She was too shocked to even say something. Vegeta's heart shrinked by the sadness of his mate. 'Mom? What happened to Bra? Is she dead? What's wrong? Tell me!' Trunks shouted. Bulma didn't reply and hugged Trunks, still crying. The doctor kneeled by Trunks. 'I'm afraid you sister is gone. She was badly hurt. We tried everything, but..' 'WHAT?' Trunks cried. 'You're lying! Where is she, you big jerk! I want to see my sister! Where is she?' Before the doctor could reply, Trunks was already gone. He flew trough the corridors of the hospital, crying.

Vegeta became a little bored. It wasn't exactly something he had in mind this morning, watching his dead daughter. Bulma sat on a comforting chair next to Bra's bed, petting, touching, and kissing her. Vegeta just stood there, wondering what would happen next. He wasn't impressed how his daughter looked like, bloody, bruised, and with still some dirt on her face. He belly was completely covered with bandage. He saw so many dead people in his life, this wasn't exactly the worst thing he'd ever seen, altough it was his daughter. He wasn't really attached to Bra. He didn't had a special bond with her or something, nor did he with Trunks. 'I think I'm going home,' he said. Bulma didn't answer and keeped petting Bra. 'I said, I'm going home, ' he said, trying to be soft. 'Okay,' Bulma said hoarse. Vegeta opened the door which seperated the room with his dead child in it from the halls of the enormous hospital and began heading for the exit.

Meanwhile, Trunks sat crying on a chair, while Chi-chi hugged him. Chi-chi had no idea what happened to the boy, but he needed a person where he could cry his heart out. She was wondering what happened. Maybe his father did something to him. That was a good reason to cry. Vegeta was after all the most arrogant man in this universe, so he could hurt someone easily. But Trunks grew up with Vegeta, and he was probably used to his father's cocky way of communicating.

Meanwhile at Capsule Corps. Vegeta was thinking how Bra could die by felling out of a tree. He didn't feel sad or something, he just wondered how she got in the tree and why she died. The tree wasn't that high. He sighed. Everything was messed up and he didn't like that. This could affect his relationship with his mate and that would be horrible. He had to do something! But what? He had no idea how to be a good husband or a father. His family probably needed him or something, Where was the boy actually? He didn't see him since he came home. Probably crying somewhere no one could see him. He sighed. Oh God, I wish I knew what to do....he tought. That was the problem. He didn't know how to. Maybe he had to find the boy and comfort him. That was what earthlings did if some of them died. Hug a person, trying to be soft with them. It sounded like bullshit, but he could try. But where was the boy?

'Trunks, what happened?' Goku asked. Trunks was still crying, hugged by Chi- chi. Goten stood next to the chair Chi-chi sat in, wondering why Trunks cried. Even when Trunks' dad died when he blew himself up to save the world form Buu, he didn't cry. Well, maybe a little, but not like this. His best friend was hysteric! ' Trunks, what happened? Has it something to do with your dad?' Goten asked. 'No...no' Trunks cried, snot coming out of his nose. 'It..it had no...othing to do with..with..dad...' 'Is it your mom?'Chi-chi asked. 'Or is it Bra? Did something bad happened to her?' 'Bra...Bra died....Bra is dead...' Trunks snuffled. 'WHAT?' Goku yelled. Chi-chi slapped him, telling him to calm down. 'You're making it worse for the boy!' she muttered. ' How did that happen Trunks? Are you sure?!' Goten shrieked. 'Trunks, honey, what happened to her?' Chi-chi asked. 'Well, you..you know that big..tr..tree in our y..yard? Trunks asked. Chi- chi nodded and Trunks continued. 'Well...we don't know..how..how..she g..got there..b..but she fell and..and...the am..ambulance brought her to the h..hospital and she had surgery but it didn't work or something....and her back was broken the doctor said and she died....I don't understand' Trunks said soft. 'Oh my God.' Goku sag in a chair and covered his face with his hands.
