"Dimitrius! What are you doing here?" Bulma was immediately wrapped up in Dimitrius' arms. He lifted her up with a big, but gentle, bear hug. She laughed breathlessly as he set her back down.

"Well I was sent to Japan for business so I decided to look you up!"

"That's wonderful! How long will you be staying"

"A whole week." He gently hugged her again.

"I'm going to be getting a hotel room at the Holiday Inn down the street!"

"Don't waste your money! You can stay here. I mean, we have enough guest rooms. Go get your things and I'll take you to your room."

He smiled and thanked her, kissing her cheek before he left to go to his car. Bulma smiled but a family photo of her, Trunks, and a reluctant Vegeta snapped her out of it, "VEGETA!"

It was around 3 am when Vegeta came back inside. To his surprise, the lights were still on in the kitchen. He mumbled to himself as he walked in, ignored Bulma who was sitting at the table, and looked through the fridge for something to eat. He failed to notice whom Bulma was speaking to as he pulled out some cold chicken and walked into the living room. "I see Vegeta still lives with you."

"Well he has to!"

Dimitrius nodded and smiled, "Seems like you take in strays all over the place!"

Bulma laughed. "WOMAN WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?" (No he is not yelling at her, he just needs to make himself heard over the TV, same as Bulma.)

"DIMITRIUS!" Vegeta sprung up and ran into the kitchen.

THAT BAKA REALLY IS HERE.WHY?

Dimitrius stood up and extended his arm out to Vegeta, "Great seeing you again." Vegeta, of course, just sneered and walked away from him and over to Bulma. He knew she hadn't told Dimitrius about Trunks or their relationship, the conviction was in her eyes.

He knew how to fix this little problem, "Have you checked on the brat yet?"

She nodded and looked to Dimitrius, "Oh that's right! You haven't met Trunks yet!"

She's not trying to hide it.she seems.proud!

Dimitrius smiled "Who is Trunks."

"My baby! Well, mine and Vegeta's I mean!"

HAHA THAT'S RIGHT BAKA! I GOT HER AND YOU DO NOT! SHE IS MINE, MINE, MINE!!!!!!!!

"That's great! I would love to meet him."

"Well not now since I put him to sleep for tonight, but tomorrow you two can meet."

"Wonderful, then tomorrow it is! Goodnight you two!" With that a very tired Dimitrius retired to his room.

Bulma growled and turned to a now shocked Vegeta. "WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!"

"I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT HE HAS NO CHANCE WITH YOU!"

"WELL I THINK I COULD HAVE CONTROLLED THAT MYSELF!"

"NO YOU COULDN'T!"

"MY GOD YOU ACT LIKE I'M JUST A PIECE OF PROPERTY!"

"YOU ARE!"

"WHAT!?!?!? WELL THEN, BAKA, WHY DON'T YOU JUST PEE ON ME AND MARK ME OFF AS YOURS!"

"COME OVER HERE THEN!"

"EWWWW YOU'RE SO SICK VEGETA!" (cough once again)

The next day Bulma and Vegeta were in the kitchen with Dimitrius. Trunks just loved Uncle Dimitrius! He would pull on his tie, watch, hair. He was a regular little baby fascinated by the world. Dimitrius handed him to Vegeta who took Trunks reluctantly. "Well you guys I gotta get going or I'll be late for my meeting. Nice meeting you Trunks." Trunks cooed as Dimitrius left. Vegeta then looked down to the baby in his arms. This was the first time he ever held Trunks and he actually liked it, but of course, he gave the infant back to Bulma and stormed out to the gravity room.

Bulma looked down at their crying baby and sighed. "Don't worry Trunks! Daddy loves us both." I think.

A few nights had passed and Dimitrius had to leave for America again. Vegeta silently rejoiced as Bulma walked Dimitrius to his capsule car. "Make sure you keep in touch alright?"

"Will do Bulma! Best to you and your family!" With that Dimitrius took off for the airport while Bulma stood there, her long yellow sundress flowing in the wind. She stayed like that until he was no longer visible.

"It's funny," she whispered to herself, "I gave up someone who would love and provide for me and Trunks for someone who doesn't even care if we live or die." She sighed and rubbed her arm lightly, "Maybe it would be better to just leave with Trunks. I mean, Vegeta said himself we are just a distraction.a weakness."

She turned around and looked up to the house, "I want to raise Trunks in a loving family!" Immediately Bulma walked inside the house and up the stairs. Vegeta could hear her walking around from the kitchen but paid no mind as he munched on some prime ribs, "First things first.." Bulma practically stuffed the whole room in her capsules. Her clothes, necessities, some beauty products, Trunks belongings, everything that was rightfully hers was packed up and capsuled. She put the capsules in her pocket and scooped up Trunks, "Well baby, it's just you and me."

Vegeta heard Bulma walk down the steps and out the door. He heard her start the car and drive away. Probably has to buy me more food. He smirked but soon he could no longer sense her ki and eventually he even lost Trunks' ki. Vegeta sprung to his feet and ran up the stairs and into their now vacant room. He opened the closet, dressers, and drawers; everything was gone besides his things. He walked down the stairs in a confused daze and saw a note taped to the door:

Dear Vegeta,

By now you must have noticed that I am gone. I'm sorry that I had to leave without a decent goodbye but I supposed you would have preferred that. If you're wondering why I left I guess the best way to put it is because you wanted me to. Maybe now you'll finally be able to train in peace. I will miss you. Good luck Vegeta!

Love,

Bulma and Trunks

P.S. If you ever need anything feel free to ask mom and dad next door. (Dad can fix the gravity chamber. Remember he did make one for Goku!)

This note really did it for Vegeta. He screamed at the top of his lungs, tears streamed down his eyes though he did not notice. He had never felt this way before about someone leaving. He always thought he would be happy with them gone but he was far from that. He knew he had to find her. She always had a way of telling him where she was without being obvious. Some female trick he didn't understand. He read the note over and over again. He noticed that she deepened her shading on Goku's name. Oh please, not there. Please don't be there!

Sure enough Bulma was residing at the Son house. Chi Chi was playing with Trunks, Goku and Gohan were out training and Bulma was taking a hot bath to forget about her day. She would be staying in the spare bedroom that was in the basement. She had stayed there many times before when her and Vegeta fought so actually it was more of Bulma's recovery room than a guest room anymore. Bulma sighed as her fingers ran over the steaming water. She had her hair tied up in a towel so that it wouldn't get wet and she had leaned back in the tub, closing her eyes. She really wished she hadn't left but she knew she had to do what was right for her husband. She looked down at her hand, at the ring. Vegeta hadn't even spent time shopping for a ring, her mom and she picked it out as well as Vegeta's ring, and it wasn't even like he wore it. Bulma decided she had soaked long enough and she stood up and wrapped herself up in her towel. She dried off and put on her robe, walked inside and saw Chi Chi playing peek-a-boo with Trunks. This made her smile, It's funny how Chi Chi gives more attention to Trunks than his own father.

Chi Chi looked up to Bulma, "Hey check this out." She set Trunks on his belly and poked his back gently. He immediately sprung up his head, arms, and legs looking a lot like a little whale. Bulma laughed for the first time in a while "He's a little Free Willy!"

That night Bulma stayed up. Everyone else in the house was asleep and in his or her bed but for some reason Bulma found it hard to fall asleep. She eventually walked outside in her pjs (a spaghetti strap shirt and pants), slippers, and robe. She gripped the robe tightly to herself as she walked through the cold snow. She could see her breath in the air and felt her body tingling under the wind. Suddenly she felt a warm embrace around her waist. She looked down to see a very muscular arm covered in blue spandex wrapped around her and a gloved hand holding on tightly to her waist.

She turned her head around and looked into those big brown eyes of her prince. She smiled warmly at him and he just stared at her. He saw something change in her eyes. He saw they were a deep shade of blue earlier that day when she told him that she had to see Dimitrius to his car. He now saw that they were lively and a more beautiful blue. He saw them glisten and sparkle in his presence and he hadn't seen that since.the day she told him that she loved him.

He immediately turned her to face him and crushed her to his chest. "Bulma, don't you EVER leave me again!" She smiled hearing him finally say her name.

"Don't worry, I won't!" With that the two looked up into each others eyes and kissed. Even as the wind blew and the snow fell upon them, turning black hair to white, they felt only the warmth of each others love.

THE END
