Hey guys. I'm sorry if this turns out really stuffed up, but my sister got rid of Netscape on the computer therefore taking away the ability to save it as an html. I'll try to work out something, but here goes. By the way. If you were wondering where Mr. and Mrs. Briefs went in the last chapter, they were eating out at a restaurant.

Stranded.
Chapter 11.
Depression.
Bulma woke up after hearing water run from the tap in Vegeta's bathroom. She got up and walked over to his room and into his bathroom. She found him at the sink, splashing his face with water.
"What's wrong, Vegeta?" she asked quietly. He quickly turned towards her in shock.
"What are you doing here?" he asked sharply.
"I heard the water running and I wanted to know what you were doing. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Go away."
"No. Something's wrong. Are you okay about losing Safira and Keira all over again?" Bulma asked. He smirked and walked back into his room and sat on his bed. She sat next to him, much to his detestation. "I'm sorry. If I hadn't have wished them back, then you wouldn't have to go through this all over again."
"I was happy to see them again if that is what you were aiming at."
"I was. I also think that I should have stayed away from you guys."
"That could've helped."
"I guess so. Why did they do that?"
"Because they're Saiyans and its Saiyan nature to kill."
"I'm sorry. You're family-less again."
"And it's not like that kid from the future will ever be born."
"Do you really think so?"
"It's not like I'd mate with you. You're not even a Saiyan, let alone a warrior."
"Yeah, and you are a Saiyan and a stuck up jerk with only strength and pain on the mind."
"Well, you're a loud mouthed wench that doesn't know her place."
"You're a stubborn Saiyan Prince." Bulma snapped. Then she noticed that Vegeta was leaning in closer to her. She accepted him and kissed him gently.
~ The Next Morning. ~
Vegeta woke up early in the morning. He looked at his surroundings and saw Bulma asleep on his chest. He grunted and then noticed the scar that was now on her neck. He took her head off him and got out of the bed. He showered and then got dressed for his usual training. It was about five, so he wasn't expecting anyone to be awake.
"Hey, Vegeta." Goku whispered as he peered at him over the fridge door. "You're up early."
"No, I'm up late. I had a, ah, distraction."
"Distraction? What happened to your neck?"
"It's the symbol to say that I'm someone's mate."
"Oh. I've never seen it before. I'm sorry about dishing it out to Safira and Keira."
"It's okay. I'll get over it, again." Vegeta said. He walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To train."
"Oh, yeah. Wanna spar?"
"Fine then."
"I won't go too hard on you. I know how weak you are." Goku teased.
"Kakarot! How dare you?!" Vegeta yelled, waking up Chi-Chi and Gohan who were in the next room. Goku ran past Vegeta, out the door and onto the front garden where he waited for Vegeta.
"Quite easily." Goku laughed.
"Shut up, Goku!" Chi-Chi screeched.
"Sorry, Chi!"
"You better be. You woke up Gohan and me!"
"I am! Just go back to sleep. It's too early."
"Fine then."
"Can we spar now?" Vegeta asked impatiently.
"Yeah, sure." Goku said. Vegeta powered up as far as he could and Goku powered up to match his ki.
"Stop mocking me." Vegeta growled.
"I'm not. I'm just giving you a better chance."
"You're a fool."
"Might be so, but I'm the strong fool." Goku said before charging at Vegeta. Punches and kicks were attempted but each one was blocked. Goku unconsciously powered up and knocked Vegeta into a wall. "Uh, sorry, Vegeta. Lets call it quits, kay?" Vegeta just grunted in agreement and sat up. By then, it was seven. They walked into the kitchen to see everyone up and eating breakfast. They both sat down and Bulma got up to get them their feast.
"Here's your breakfast." She said, putting a large plate in front of Goku. She placed a plate in front of Vegeta and didn't look at him. "Here is yours."
"What's up with you two?" Goku asked.
"Nothing. This is how we usually are." Bulma said nervously.
"And it's not like it concerns you." Vegeta said.
"Yes it does. Bulma's one of my bestfriends." Goku objected.
"Well, she's my mate and that's closer then friends." Vegeta snapped as he stood up from his chair and his hands slammed on the table, causing everything to jump, and making everything just go silent.
"I am not your anything." Bulma screeched.
"The scar on your neck proves you wrong."
"What scar?"
"I marked you."
"You what?!"
"I marked you, by accident, and now you're my mate." Vegeta breathed as he explained.
"You took her as your mate?" Goku asked.
"Yes but I didn't mean it."
"Jerk." Bulma muttered. "How could you?"
"I had just lost my family, again. I was in a time of need."
"So you just chose to need me."
"I didn't mean it that way."
"So are you saying that you love me? Isn't that why mates are chosen?"
"Yes, but I didn't mean it that way, either."
"Then why did you mark me?"
"I don't know."
"Well, we'll leave this to you guys. Gohan and I gotta get back to training with Piccolo. He gets grumpy if we're not in time." Goku said, trying to get out of the situation. The family packed up their stuff and Chi-Chi and Gohan stood next to Goku so he could transport them home. "Oh, and by the way. Congradulations, you guys. I can sense a second ki coming from Bulma." Goku laughed as he disappeared. Bulma and Vegeta turned to each other and Vegeta sat down on the nearest chair with his head in his hands.
"Great, are you happy, now? You got your family, you jerk. I should have never even asked you to live here."
"I should have never come to this stupid planet."
"I agree. Why the hell did you hit on me last night?"
"Me?" Vegeta asked, looking up from his hands.
"Yes. You were leaning in on me and usually when that happens, you automatically accept them."
"When you look at it, you weren't the only one marked. You marked me, too."
"What? When?"
"When you bit me."
"That? I thought it was just a way of pleasing Saiyans. I thought that that was why you bit me."
"No. I was marking you."
"See, you did it first."
"So?"
"It means that it was your fault."
"We don't need to talk about this."
"That's where you're wrong, Vegeta. We're starting a family. You just can't push this thought out of your mind."
"I don't even want a child or a mate."
"So you're saying that you don't want my child or me."
"Yes, I am." Vegeta answered. Bulma felt her eyes burn as they started to water with tears. Vegeta looked up at her and saw the pain that he had caused her. "Woman, you see, it's more like me not wanting to go through the pain of losing a child and a mate again." He said only to make Bulma burry her face in her hands and cry. "Why are you crying? Do you … want me as your mate?"
"I don't know. I just want to be with the person that I have a child with." Bulma sobbed. "I wanted to be in love with him as he would me, but now it's you and you couldn't love me if you tried. I'm not even a Saiyan, let alone have a ki worth bragging about. I should just get an abortion."
"Abortion? Is that some sort of stupid human baby sitter?"
"No. It's where we… where we get rid of the baby before it's born."
"You do whatever you want with the brat. It's not like I care." Vegeta said as he stood up and left the room, leaving Bulma crying in her hands. She was so clueless about what to do. She got up and walked towards the kitchen where the cordless phone was. She dialled a number and then waited for someone to pick up.
"Moshi moshi." Came a voice on the other line.
"Hey, Chi. I was wondering, what's it like to be pregnant with a Saiyan?"
"Oh, Bulma. You're actually going along with this?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Well, I've already brought up abortion with Vegeta, but he says that he doesn't care. Is it possible that someone can be that heartless that they wouldn't care about their own child's life? Or did I just get pregnant with the owner of the universes' coldest heart?"
"I'm afraid that it's both option one and two. Vegeta is such a jerk. Yamcha was right. You shouldn't have let him in you house, let alone step on your property. He's too cruel and selfish. I don't know what that Safira girl saw in him. How is it that he can get so attached to Keira, yet can't give a damn if your child dies?"
"Keira was a full-blood Saiyan, the heir to the throne."
"Well, your child would be the heir to the throne, too and the heir to Capsule Corp. The Earth's most powerful race and the universes' most powerful race. He should be happy that he's going to be a dad again."
"I think that's the part that scares him the most. He told me that he's more afraid about losing his mate and child again."
"But Frieza isn't around anymore. That shouldn't worry him. He's the second strongest being there is."
"I think you should tell him this. Maybe that'll change his mind about mini Bulma or mini Vegeta."
"That is going to be the cutest little child ever if it's a girl. She'll probably look just like you."
"What if it's a guy?"
"Then it's going to look as ugly as Goku in his Oozaru form." Chi-Chi giggled.
"I resent that. Did you forget that it's also me?"
"What if it has the same heart as Vegeta?"
"Then they can lock themselves up in the GR all day for all I care. If it's anything like Vegeta then I swear, it's off to boarding school." Bulma laughed.
"You make it sound like being like me is a bad thing." Came a gruff voice from behind Bulma.
"It is. You couldn't even give a damn about your own child." Bulma said with her hand covering the receiver on the phone. (A/N: Major brain dead! I think that's what the thing that you talk into is called. ^_^;;)
"I've thought about the brat. If it's a boy then he's training with me. If it's a girl, then she's taking up your job. Got it?"
"Whatever, Vegeta. I'm talking on the phone. If you wish to continue this conversation then catch me at a better time. Sorry, Chi. Vegeta came in demanding that if I have a boy that he's to fight with him but if it's a girl then she's to become a worker for Capsule Corp."
"Woman, I think we should talk about this now."
"So now you want to talk about it when I'm busy. Just go away."
"Woman." Vegeta growled angrily.
"Sorry, Chi. Vegeta and I need to talk. He's persistent about it."
"Good luck, Bulma. Carrying a Saiyan isn't easy. It hurts like hell." Chi-Chi laughed. "Well, see you later."
"Bye." Bulma said, hanging up the phone and then turning to Vegeta. "What?"
"If it's a boy then we have to call him Vegeta."
"Are you insane? I am not naming my son Vegeta. The kids'll call him Vegetable."
"And I don't?"
"You're different."
"This name has been in my family for sixteen generations."
"Sixteen? Don't you guys get confused?"
"No."
"If it's a girl, I am certainly not calling it Keira, if that was a tradition, too."
"No, it wasn't. Keira was the name of Safira's mother. We are definitely NOT calling it Bunny."
"I know. I wouldn't call her after my mother anyway. I'd probably call her Bra."
"What sort of name is that?"
"A tradition Briefs name. It's better then being named after vegetables."
"So you're named after underwear."
"Well, my family couldn't think of anything else. So there, I've decided it's going to be boy: Trunks, girl: Bra. And if you don't like it, you can go away."
"Well, ah, talking about going away, your father has been working on a ship for a while so I could train in space and it should be ready by tomorrow."
"You're leaving?"
"Yes. I should be gone for a year."
"Fine then. You'll just miss out on seeing the birth of your child."
Bulma snapped, crossing her arms. "And its first three months."
"Nine months? Saiyan's are born after
fourteen."
"Fourteen? You expect me to carry this thing around for fourteen months? I wonder if Chi-Chi had to. I should call her again."
"Don't you think they would have noticed if she was five months over due?"
"I guess, but there's always the chance."
"Don't worry."
"But what if you'll die when the Androids come? You would have never seen it."
"I won't die."
"But the our son from the future said that you would."
"He also said that Kakarot would be dead by now. Don't worry." Vegeta said reassuringly.
The next day, Vegeta left in the ship.
