~Acceptance~

When 18 woke up she felt very grimy and dirty. Leaves from the branches above had fallen in the rain and were now plasterd to her arms and legs. She sat up and her head brushes against the thin canopy of branches above her. She felt foolish. She couldn't believe she had overreacted like that. A slight blush tinted her cheeks as she remembered when krillin had proposed. She had disappeared for two weeks before she reappeared. She needed to learn not to run away!

"damnit" she murmured "I'm such a idiot" she silently raised her ki. She wanted to be resqued.

RRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!

A small ki blast flew and destroyed the phone in krillin and 18's room. He satered at her empty side of the bed. He couldn't sense her at all.

"KRILLIN!" roshi's loud and obnoxious voice yelled up. "its bulma!"

Krillin stomped down the stairs and grabbed the phone.

"I thought you had a phone up there?"

krillin shot him a look "Hey bulma"

"hey. Any sign of 18?"

"no"

"shit"

"yah I know" krillin sighed and then he felt her. "damnit that's her!"

"what? Krillin.krillin?!" but he had hung up * * * as he flew along he noticed her ki getting weaker. He sped up. He landed in a wooded area. There was a small pond and a waterfall about 50 paces away and thre was a fallen tree in a corner.

"Where is she" and then a gagging sound caught his attention. He ran to the treeand spied her blonde hair. He glanced at his watch and nodded running forward.

18 looked up and grinned "about time" krillin raised an eyebrow at her " you ok?"

"Yah" she nodded "lets go"

he picked her up and they flew off together. Her kissed her lips softly and she smiled up at him.

"krillin"

"mmm"

"I think I'm pregnant"
