^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Vegeta growled and pounded on the door of the gravity room. "ONNA!! How long does it take to upgrade the damn thing?" He started pacing around on the piece of grass. Bulma had been working on the gravity room for two hours and Vegeta was getting restless.
Just then the door of the gravity room hissed open, and out stepped Bulma with grease smudges on her cheeks. Vegeta hated to admit it, but she looked good, *No.. Beautiful!*
Bulma snorted as she heard his thought, "Yeah, yeah save it for a rainy day you horny lil monkey!"
Vegeta glared at her, he completely forgot to hide his thoughts from her! He kept his composure cool and crossed his arms. "About damn time you got out of there onna. What did you do, fall asleep?"
Bulma rolled her eyes, "Well, if this is the thanks I get, then next time you can just upgrade the stupid machine yourself!!" She wiped off a bit of grease from her cheek and quickly smudged it over Vegeta's nose and giggled.
Vegeta growled as he tried to rub the grease stain off of his nose, "Onna stop being so childish! I must have been insane to take you as my mate!"
"No, you must have been in-Saiya-jin!" She burst out into peels of laughter, she looked at his blank face, "Don't you get it? In-Saiya-jin, insane? Well.. I thought it was funny." She quickly sobered up as she realised she wasn't going to get him to laugh.
He flared his nostrils, "Ha ha," he said sarcastically. But inside he was chuckling, *You are a strange one, chibi onna.. But I like it when you laugh.* He, of course, hid this thought from her and denied that he ever thought such a thing.
Anger flared in Bulma's crystal blue eyes, "Lighten up Vegeta, it was a joke! Stop being such a flake! Honestly, someone would think you had a piece of wire stuck up your ass!"
He ignored her last comment, "You still have to contact Earth."
Bulma paused, losing most of her anger towards the prince, "Oh yeah. Well..?"
"Well, what?"
She let out a exasperated sigh, "Are you gonna show me where to contact them from?"
"Follow me," he started to walk towards the palace.
Bulma frowned at his abrputness. *What bit him in the butt..?*
Vegeta snorted, "Nothing 'bit me in the butt' onna."
Bulma stiffened as she walked next to him through the palace gardens, "Kindly stay out of my thoughts, thank you very much."
Vegeta gave her an impassive look and a deathly silence fell between the couple.
Bulma chewed on her bottom lip, there was one question she had to ask.
Vegeta sensed that Bulma wanted to ask something, "Spit it out onna."
She gave him a surprised look and took a deep breath, "Vegetadoyouloveme?" She said in one go.
He stopped dead in his tracks and frowned, "What type of question is that?"
She shrugged, "It's a simple question," she said, stopping besides him.
He looked at her indifferently, "You are my mate. That is all."
"Yeah.. But do you love me?"
"Onna, I do not ~feel~ love or any of your earthling emotions."
Bulma frowned at him, "But then how do you expect to stay with me for the rest of your life, if you don't love me?"
Vegeta felt his temper start to flare, she was asking too many questions. Questions he didn't have the answer to. "Onna, you are my mate. I will protect you and the heir to the throne of Vegeta-sei, from harm."
Bulma's jaw dropped, "Huh..? You've lost me completely."
"You will carry my child, Vegeta-sei needs an heir to the throne, once I am King."
Bulma laughed bitterly, eveything was becoming so clear. "So that's why you've taken me as a 'mate'. So you can have a precious heir to the throne. Well screw you Vegeta, you're not getting one from this gal!"
He growled, "Grr.. Onna this topic is not up for debate. Besides it's too late anyway. You're already pregnant."
Bulma exploded in a fit of rage. "WHAT??!"
He winced internally.
"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? WE WERE ONLY TOGETHER FOR ONE NIGHT?!?"
Vegeta shook his head, "Well obviously one night is all it takes onna. Or didn't you know that?"
Bulma's rage quietened, she felt her energy drain as the news sunk in. "I'm gonna be a mom.." Vegeta frowned at her. She looked up with tears in her eyes, "But- I-I'm not ready to be a mom!!"
He was rooted to the spot. This wasn't the reaction he was expecting. He was waiting for her to rant and rave, but she never did.
She felt tears leak out from under her eyes, "H-how can I be a mom? I'm too young! I don't even know if I'm in love with you and you certainly don't love me! I can't believe you're just using me to breed!" She put it crudely.
Vegeta's face became blank. The words she had uttered struck a raw nerve. For a brief moment, pain flashed through his onyx eyes, but this went unnoticed by Bulma. "Isn't this what you wanted? You are the one who thought you were ready to have a family?" he said gruffly.
She tried to hold back the tears, "Yeah in the future! This is too soon.. I'm only 24, how can I be a mother?"
He frowned, "You learn, that's how." He said flatly and continued walking towards the palace, with a teary eyed Bulma trailing behind.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
By the time they reached the palace, Bulma was starting to get used to the idea of being pregnant. She had no idea just how much she had hurt Vegeta's feelings when she said she didn't know if she could love him. Of course Vegeta wasn't going to admit he was hurt by her words, but they did cut pretty deep.
They stepped into a room with large monitors. Bulma watched as his fingers flew over the keys. She was amazed her actually knew how to run the piece of equipment. *Who'da thought he'd have a brain?* She carefully hid this thought from Vegeta. Just then, the screen started to fuzz.
He turned to her with an emotionless face, "It should connect within a few minutes."
Bulma couldn't help but notice the hidden hurt in his eyes, as she looked at him closely. She had been blinded by shock before to realise it, but now she saw. She had actually hurt his feelings! "Vegeta..?"
"What?" He asked, coldly.
"I'm sorry.. But we should have talked about things before you got me pregnant! We really need to talk about this.. Soon."
Before he could answer, a face appeared on the screen. Bulma turned to face the screen, happiness radiating from every feature. "DADDY!"
Dr. Briefs looked back at the screen, shocked as he saw his daughter standing there smiling, and Vegeta scowling. "Bulma?!"
She laughed, she missed her father so much, and missed spending time with him! "Hi. How are you? How's mom? How's Chi Chi, Goku and Gohan? Where's Yamcha and Krillan?" A whole blurb of questions poured out from her mouth. Eager to talk to her father.
Vegeta scowled, *What can't I make her this happy...?* He ignored this thought, grunting. *The Saiya-jin Prince shouldn't have to make anyone happy!*
Dr. Briefs laughed, his daughter hadn't changed one bit! "Well, why don't you ask some of them for yourself. Chi Chi is here with Goku and Yamcha, they're having lunch."
Bulma's face dropped as she heard him mention lunch. She missed her mother's cooking dearly. "Can you please get them? I really want to speak to them."
Dr. Briefs got up and disappeared from the screen. Suddenly, Chi Chi jumped infront. "Bulma Briefs, how dare you leave for so long without telling us!"
Bulma chuckled, "Not my fault Chi!"
A worried look crossed Chi Chi's face, "Are you ok? We were so worried about you and how you were. We haven't heard from you in over a month!"
"I know Chi, I'll be home soon though. Don't worry! I can't wait to come back. It's really nice here but.. I miss home so much!"
Chi Chi looked to her left, "Oh Yamcha's here, he wants to speak to you!" She got up and moved out of the way so Yamcha was infront of the screen.
Bulma smiled as she saw her former boyfriends face. "Yamcha!!" She squealed happily.
Vegeta held back the urge to pound his fist into the screen. *How dare he smile at MY mate!! I'll kill the little runt!* He growled, a new feeling overcoming him. Was it.. jealousy? *Hmph the Saiya-jin Prince does NOT get jealous.*
Yamcha smiled back at the screen, relieved. "Bulma! You're ok! I was so worried about you!"
Bulma smiled a little sadly, "How comes you never came to visit me after we broke up..?"
Yamcha became serious, "I was training babe. I'm really sorry, I wish I was there with you now.. Everyone misses you so much."
"I miss you guys to.. How's the rest of the Z gang?"
"They're good, all busy training.. Uh hey Bulma, Goku wants to speak to you. Take care ok? Bye!!" He move out of the way to let Goku take his place.
"Hey Bulma and Vegeta, how's it going?!"
Vegeta snorted, "Fine Kakkarot. We shall be returning in two months time. You better have become stronger."
Bulma glared icily at Vegeta, and turned back to talk to Goku. "How are you Goku?"
"I'm great! Everything over here's good too. Gohan's getting a lot stronger as well!"
She smiled, "That's good! Hey, where's Master Roshi?"
"Probably on his pervy little island," muttered Vegeta.
Goku gave a wide smile, "He's at his island.. Bulma, I'm really sorry! But I smell food! Gotta go! See you in two months time!!" With that he dashed off, leaving Bulma and Vegeta staring at the screen.
They both sweat-dropped.
Vegeta was about to cut off the connection when Dr. Briefs face appeared again. "Make it fast onna." He said to her.
Bulma frowned at his odd manner, she turned back to her father. "Daddy, I invented some great new things! I'm bringing home a copy of the designs. I think it should be useful for the Earth's safety as well as over here!"
He smiled at his daughter, "That's great dear, I can't wait to see them. Listen your mother is calling everyone for lunch, she sends you her love. I'll see you in two months ok?"
"Dad..?"
"Yeas honey?"
"Nothing," she thought about telling him she was pregnant. But then decided against it. "See you soon. I love you!"
"I love you too honey, bye!" With that he cut off the connection.
Bulma stared at the blank screen, frowning.
Vegeta stood with his arms folded, "Are you finished staring at the screen onna? Because I have training to do."
Bulma nodded, not in the mood for an argument. "I'll see you at dinner.."
Vegeta stared at her for several moments. "Very well." He stepped out of the room and walked to the gravity room. Just then, he heard Bulma's thoughts.
She looked at him leave and sat down on the nearest chair. She finally saw her friends and father but.. Why did she feel so empty and alone? *I'm pregnant.. With Vegeta's child.* She laughed at the irony. *~sigh~ Does he even love me or is he just using me? Do I love him..? I've been hurt too many times, how can I trust him with my heart..? I guess I'll have to trust him.. For the sake of our child..* She unconciously projected her thoughts to Vegeta.
Vegeta growled as he heard her private thoughts. How could he tell her that he loved her? He grimaced at the thought of love, *Disgusting earthling emotions. What a waste of time!* He entered the gravity room and cranked up the G-force, and began training under heavy pressure. He had to get her to trust him.. But how?
