Thanks for the reviews!

{Vegeta-sei}
Chi Chi looked at Bulma's peaceful sleeping face. She jiggled chibi Trunks in her arms gently as he gurgled. She bent down and gently shook Bulma awake. "Bulma, wake up. I have someone who wants to meet you." She smiled knowingly.
Bulma sat up groggily, rubbing her eyes. She had a very restful sleep, but she still couldn't help feeling a tad tired. She blinked a few times, rubbing away the sleep. She finally focused on a mirror image of her own cerulean eyes. She gasped as the baby wiggled, smiling happily in front of her.
Chi Chi laughed at Bulma's expression. "Bulma, this is Trunks. I think he was waiting for his mommy to wake up, this is the first time I've seen him smile this much."
Bulma was speechless, instead she gazed wondrously at the beautiful lavender haired boy that was looking back at her with equal wonder. Immediately, she put her arms out before her wanting to hold her baby boy.
Chi Chi obligingly placed chibi Trunks in Bulma's arms. She had remembered how she felt the first time she held Gohan, it was pure love in its complex form.
Bulma gently cradled her son, as she did so an intense feeling started to bubble in the pit of her stomach. She recognized it as protectiveness. She finally understood why Chi Chi was constantly nagging Gohan. It was for his well being after all.
Chibi Trunks peered up at the blue haired creature who was now holding him. He had no clue who she was, but yet he felt oddly calm and safe. He blew a bubble happily and waved his arms above his head.
Bulma chuckled at the baby in her arms. She couldn't believe this little baby was hers, all hers. She smiled adoringly down at her son and whispered, "Where have you been all my life, huh?"
Trunks smiled and giggled.
Bulma wanted to squeeze him until he popped. (A/N: Don't you just get that feeling with babies? They're so cute that you wanna squeeze 'em to death LOL).
Chi Chi stood beside the bed, enjoying the mother and son moment. She remembered why she was still standing there, "Bulma, what are you going to name him?"
Bulma looked up, confused, "Oh Kami, you're right Chi Chi! Vegeta and I never discussed that.."
Chi Chi contemplated on whether or not she should tell Bulma what Mrs. Briefs had been calling the baby, "Well, we've been calling him Trunks. We were waiting for you to come into consciousness to give him a name."
Bulma tilted her head, "Trunks," she let the name roll around her tongue. "Trunks. Who thought of that name?"
"Your mother did."
A slow smile spread across Bulma's face, "What do you think of it?" She asked teasingly.
"Well, to be honest I wasn't thrilled with it at first. I wanted to call him Goten, but I guess the name suits him now." She smiled back reassuringly.
Bulma nodded, "Trunks." She said again, looking down at chibi Trunks. "You like that?"
Chibi Trunks' mouth curved up in the corner, Bulma watched as a small amount of drool escaped from his mouth.
Bulma laughed, "I take that as a yes!"
Chi Chi smiled and stroked Trunks' cheek. "He is such a darling little boy!"
Bulma raised her eyebrow, "I know. After all he is mine, and Vegeta's." She put emphasis on Vegeta's name.
Both women looked at eachother for a few moments and burst out laughing.
As the laughing ceased, Chi Chi hugged her long time friend. "I'm going to send in everyone. They're all dying to see you."
Bulma nodded once, not taking her eyes off of chibi Trunks. He burst out crying for no apparent reason.
Chi Chi suddenly remembered something as chibi Trunks began crying.
Bulma shook him gently, trying to calm him but it was to no avail.
Chi Chi turned to face Bulma.
Bulma looked desperately at Chi Chi's face, not knowing why he was crying with so force. "What's wrong with him?" She asked worriedly. This parenting stuff was hard, she thought to herself.
Chi Chi swallowed a chuckle as she looked at Bulma's desperate face. "He's hungry." She said softly, "We've been giving him bottled milk so far, but I think he needs his mother's attention now.
Bulma sighed gratefully, "Thanks, Chi. I'm so glad you've done this sort of thing before!"
Chi Chi shook her head, "Think nothing if it. Do want me to tell the other's to wait while you feed him and get ready yourself?"
Bulma become even more in debt to Chi Chi's kindness, "Yes please. Thanks again Chi Chi."
Chi Chi winked, "My pleasure. If you need anything, I will be outside of the door to make sure no one comes in and interrupts you."
"Ok." Bulma watched as the door closed softly. She looked back down at Trunks who had resided from crying to sniffling.
Bulma found him too cute, she lifted up her top still smiling. She caught another flash of lavender fluff wriggling behind her son and Bulma had to chuckle, "A tail!" She coudln't help but laugh, "You are definately Vegeta's son!" She brought chibi Trunks up to her chest and let him fill himself of his Saiya-jin appetite.
Ten minutes later and he was still going, "Damn, even Saiya-jin babies have appetites like elephants!" She grumbled.
Finally, after what seemed an eternity, she was finally able to please the hungry Saiya-jin Prince.
Chibi Trunks yawned, opening his mouth as wide as he could. Bulma gently rocked him into sleep. She looked around, wondering where to place him. There was no baby crib in this room. She remembered that she had stumbled upon Queen Khyiriana's nursery room on the eve of the bonding ritual. She would have to go back there after she had washed herself.
Currently, she placed the tiny baby on the bed letting him sleep there for the moment. She made her way to the connecting bathroom, for a much deserved bath.
********************
Kinjal made her way to Bulma's room, when she caught sight of Chi Chi leaning back against the door, "What are you doing?" She asked as she approached.
Chi Chi shrugged, "Making sure no one goes in. I think Bulma needs some time to bond with Trunks."
"How long have you been standing out here?"
"I'd say around twenty minutes. She should be done any minute, then you can go in and meet her."
At this point the former King of Vegeta-sei happened to pass by, coincidentally.
He stopped by the two females conversing, "Is everything alright?" He asked gruffly, he still had trouble associating with people who were non Saiya- jin, apart from Bulma and Dr. Briefs.
Chi Chi rolled her eyes, she was getting tired of explaining the same thing over and over again.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
{Earth}
Goku set his jaw firmly, "No. I'm not letting you go."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, wanting to draw back his fist and punch the living day light's out of Goku's innocent face.
"Vegeta, Cell will come to us," Goku tried to persuade him again.
Vegeta powered up slightly, knocking Goku back who was caught by surprise. "I will fight Cell, alone!"
Goku frowned, "That's not a good idea Vegeta. It would be better if we all helped."
Vegeta growled, "Shut up Kakkarot. I don't need your help, nor would i ever want it. And mark my words, if you try to follow me I'll personally blow you to smitherines, got it?" He said through gritted teeth. he just wanted to go and fight Cell and return to his planet. He was already tired of this disgusting mud ball and the pathetic weaklings that graced it.
Trunks had been watching silently, he now felt the need to interrupt the two rivals' conversation, "We'll all go down-" The look Vegeta sent made him pause, but did not cause him to hinder from what he was saying, "But, we won't fight Cell. You will fight him alone and we will watch from the sidelines. Is that ok..?" He trailed off uncertainly.
Vegeta grunted at his future sons' logic, "Fine. But if any of you get in my way, make it known that I will personally ensure your demise!" He glared at everyone, daring them to challenge him. Goku's good fortune had made Vegeta forget that he was mercilessly possed off at Goku.
Goku sighed, giving into the high demands made by the new King of Vegeta- sei. "Ok Trunks, you're right. We'll go down with Vegeta but we won't interrupt in the fight."
Vegeta 'hmphed' and turned his back to the group who were still standing in an oval position.
Krillin didn't dare to say anything.
Piccolo was disgusted by the fear shown towards Vegeta, but he was very powerful and that was something always to be feared.
Gohan was now more focused than he had ever been. He was no longer distracted by minor happenings around him. instead, he focused his gaze intently on the lavender haired boy known as Trunks. He smiled to himself, knowing that this was very brave boy for standing up to Vegeta.
Dende cleared his throat, trying to break the uncomfortable silence that had formed between the group.
Vegeta exhaled impatiently, "Well, are we going or not?" He demanded.
Goku grinned, "Let's go!"
Gohan turned his head to his father and smiled, "Cool!"
Piccolo merely grunted, and Krillin shook his head, he finally found it in himself to speak, "Well, I'm ready as I'll ever be."
Vegeta walked back out to the edge of the lookout and glared down through the clouds grimly. He was strong, there was no doubt about it, he just didn't know how much stronger he would have to be to defeat Cell.
The Z senshi followed and stood behind Vegeta. waiting for him to make the first move.
Gohan's eyes widened when he realised something, "Wait!"
Everyone, save Vegeta, turned around shocked by the young boys outburst.
Goku put his hand gently onto Gohan's head, "What is it son?"
A calculating look formed on Gohan's young features, "Shouldn't someone go to Korin's and get a bag of senzu beans?"
Dende smiled at his friend, "You're right Gohan! Who knows when you might need one, and I certainly won't be there to heal if any of you get hurt."
Vegeta snorted, "We will not need those worthless pieces of vegetable."
Krillin shook his head, "I know, Gohan you can go to Korin's tower and get the beans. The rest of us will go in search of Cell."
Gohan nodded in agreement and without hesitation, he began to float away from the gathered group at the edge of the lookout. "I'll see you guys soon! Bye Dad!" He waved goodbye to his friends and speed away to the tower.
Trunks felt a small smile spread across his face as Gohan left. He reminded Trunks of his sensei so much. Well they were the same person after all, weren't they?
But this younger version of his sensei seemed so, innocent. Completely different to Mirai Gohan, who's eyes were haunted by so many deaths seen in his young age. Trunks silently prayed that this younger version of his sensei would not have to endure what he and Mirai Gohan had endured.
Vegeta's voice rang out, irritation lacing the tone. "I tire of waiting." Without saying anything further he blasted off from the lookout, flying downwards. he had grown tremendously agitated. He had power, and he wanted to fight. Now.
Trunks was brought out from his thoughts when his father blasted off. He couldn't help but find that his father was more than a little obsessive about being a warrior.
Goku tilted his head, "He sure is in a hurry!" He exclaimed stupidly before blasting off after Vegeta.
Piccolo and Trunks following suit. The ultimate battle was soon going to occur, much to the grievance of Trunks and the anger of Piccolo.
Krillin's thoughts wandered back to the blond haired android that had been devoured by the hideous green monster. He silently wondered if there was any chance that she would return, given the chance. He kept up that small hope, hope for seeing the blonde haired beauty. If he did then he would die a very happy man.

After spending ten minutes in the shower, Bulma emerged fully clothed and refreshed. She looked at her sleeping son and couldn't help but radiate with love. She could hear hushed arguing from outside of her room.
Frowning at the disturbance, she opened the door to be greeted with the shocked faces of her mother, father and Kinjal. And the angry faces of Vegeta's father and Chi Chi.
"What is all this racket about?" She hissed, whispering for she was afraid she would wake her slumbering baby boy.
King Regent's facial expression changed from anger to wonder, "Bulma, you are looking well!" He exclaimed.
She grinned, "Thanks, but it's only because of Kinjal!"
Kinjal blushed and looked at the floor, "I'm almost ashamed to think I didn't acknowledge my power of healing sooner."
Chi Chi pouted, "Bulma, that man is insufferable!" She pointed at Vegeta's father, "He is so much like Vegeta that I want to-"
Bulma interrupted her, "Chi, please calm down. I'm sure whatever he said, he didn't mean."
Chi Chi almost stomped her foot, "But he insulted Trunks' chosen name!"
Bulma narrowed her eyes at him, "What is this I hear Otousan?"
King Regent's eyes widened, "Well-I-" He stuttered to get the words out.
Bulma raised her hand to stop him from speaking further. She turned to the crowd gathered in front of her room and smiled, "Thank you all for coming to check on me, but I'm fine. You all can go back to doing whatever you want, I'm not in amy more danger now." She smiled warmly at her parents.
"Mom, I'm sure your garden needs tending to and Dad, I'm certain that you have some business in the labs to attend to?"
They both nodded, wide-eyed.
Bulma hugged them each in turn. She turned to Chi Chi and Kinjal, "Thank you guys so much for being here for me. But, can you please leave me alone with Vegeta's father, I need to talk to him." She said this softly, but they understood her intent for asking them to leave.
They all parted ways, Chi Chi and Kinjal heading out with Mrs. Briefs to the large palace gardens and Dr. Briefs to his lab.
********************
Bulma chuckled inwardly as she saw her Otousan shift uncomfortably. "Otousan," she smiled and embraced him. Never had she felt so close to another being, non related, apart from Vegeta and Goku.
King Regent felt his face redden as his daughter in law hugged him close.
She pulled away and smiled up into his warm eyes, "Come on, I think you should meet your grand son." She led him into her large room.
Bulma carefully lifted Trunks off of the bed gently, not worrying if she awakened him. He had already slept too much as it is.
Chibi Trunks gurgled on a yawn and looked around sleepily. Bulma held him up to Vegeta's father and she felt warm as she saw a look of pride cross her Otousan's face.
She gently placed the baby in his hands, much to his surprise. He held the baby awkwardly at first but soon relaxed. "If my mate saw me now, she would blasted my ass to the next dimension," he murmured to the boy in his arms.
Trunks unconsciously wrapped his lavender tail around his grand father's wrist. Squeezing extremely hard. Although the colouring was completely wrong, this little boy was a Saiya-jin Prince in every way.
King Regent gaped at the small boy's strength, "He is definately a warrior.." He trailed off and looked up at Bulma, "Surely you are not going to name him Trunks?" He asked gruffly.
Bulma glared at him slightly, but decided to let it pass, "Yes I am." She said softly. She could have sworn she heard her Otousan counting to ten in his mind.
"Very well."
Bulma bit her lip, "Otousan, can I have your permission for something?"
"What is it?" He asked, not looking up from his grandson's gaze which was holding him in his stare.
"Your mate.. She had a nursery room for Vegeta, right?"
His head snapped up at the mention of his mate, "What of it?" He asked hoarsely.
"Would you mind terribly if I used it for Trunks' room?" She asked softly.
He narrowed his eyes at her dangerously. How did she know about that room?
