~~I don't own DBZ or the characters… I'm so sorry this took so long to get up, with school back, and band practice every other day I don't have time to work on this. Hopefully chapter 5 wont take as long.~~
Chapter 4: A Mother?
"Okay class, Friday is Mother's Day, so we are going to make Mother's Day cards and a pretty hat! Now doesn't that sound fun?" Trunks looked over as Goten, who sat right next to him. "What's Mother's Day?" he whispered. Yaden, the boy behind Trunks, began to laugh. "You really are an idiot, Trunks. Everyone knows what Mother's day is." Yaden said as he smirked. "Lemme guess, Trunksie boy, you ain't got a mom, do ya?"
Trunks looked at the floor shamefully. "Heh, guess what guys, Trunks ain't got a mom!" Everyone started to laugh. "Hey! That ain't nice!" Goten yelled. "Just forget it, Goten..." Trunks said as he stood up. "I'm leaving." He quickly flew out the window.
As he flew though the air he thought to himself, 'A mother is a mom… everyone has a mommy? I don't… Am I not an everyone?' "…… I'm- I'm a nobody!" Trunks yelled as he stopped in mid flight. "Maybe Daddy can explain!" He quickly flew home.
Trunks quietly opened the door. He looked around the room. "Good daddy's in the gravity room." Silently he walked past the kitchen towards the stairs. "Why are you home so early?" someone asked from behind him.
Trunks turned around to find his father standing in the kitchen doorway with a scowl on his face and his arms crossed against his chest. "Uh… school let out early?" Trunks said as honestly sounding as he could. He grinned nervously. "Hmph, whatever." Vegeta headed for the gravity room. "Uh..Daddy…" Vegeta stopped. "Uh… one of the kids at school … uh … said that everyone has a mother … and well.. uh.. I was wondering if I had one, too?" "Hmph." Vegeta continued to his way to the gravity room. "… I'll take that as a 'I never had a mommy and never will' … " Trunks said with disappointment in his voice.
The door to the gravity room closed as Vegeta turned the gravity to 250x earth's. Dropping to one hand he began to do push ups. 'Great he's asking about her.' He thought to himself. 'What do I tell him, he never had a mother? … Aw damn it; this was never supposed to happen. I should have never let him go to school. Damn it!' Vegeta closed his eyes as he continued to do push ups and work out.
Trunks layed down on his bed. "I guess I'm a nobody… well at least I ain't gotta go to school no more, cuz nobodies don't go to school." He said as he closed his eyes and slowly dozed off.
Vegeta walked out of the gravity room with a towel hung around his neck. He walked up stairs and threw off his shirt. He pulled off his pants and threw them down, climbing into bed. Sighing he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Vegeta stood in the door way as Bulma walked out of he baby son's room. She smiled as she whispered something softly in her child's ear. The boy started to cry. Vegeta looked puzzled. "What's going on?" Bulma looked up. A young female was walking up the stairs. She had dark green hair and bright yellow eyes. She wore a blue cape, yellow belt and black shirt and pants. From her ears dangled gold earrings. Also around her neck was a necklace with a crystal on it. "Th-That's Iva!" Vegeta said in shock.
Iva continued to climb the stairs towards Bulma. Vegeta jumped in front of her trying to protect his wife and child. He quickly threw a punch, but his hand seemed to go right through her as if she were a ghost. "W-what!?!?" He tried again, but his fist hit nothing. Iva walked straight though him as Bulma backed away. Vegeta turned around in time to see a knife blade slide across his wife's stomach, barely missing Trunks. "BULMA!" he yelled as he tried to catch her. Vegeta turned to fight but Iva was gone. He looked down at Bulma, blood rushing from her stomach. In her arm laid a crying, but unharmed, baby boy.
Vegeta sat up in bed. He looked over at the clock. It read 2:23am 'is that what really happened?' He asked himself. 'Could that be how Bulma died.' Suddenly he remembered when he walked into the house that day and found Bulma. Her stomach was cut open!
Vegeta wiped the sweat from his forehead and climbed out of bed. He left his room and walked down the hallway to his son's room. He placed his hand on the doorknob, but did not turn it. He hesitated then opened the door quietly.
The moon light shown in right on his son's face. "Trunks, you do have a mother. I'll tell you about her someday, just not now." He whispered. "mummph… … mother… mum..day…" Trunks muttered in his sleep as he rolled over. "no mo..m..my…. um..oh…fph.."
Vegeta closed the door and went back to his room. He layed down and closed his eyes. Slowly he fell back to sleep.
