Unexpected Love

Part Two

Vegito pondered this decision. Both women looked at him pleadingly as if begging him to come with her. He first looked at Bulma. Beautiful, blue-haired, strong, independent Bulma. He never said out loud that he loved her but he knew Bulma could tell what his feelings were. She gave him a son he was proud of and he swore to himself that he would always protect them. He turned to look at his other wife. Beautiful, bold, caring and strong, Chi-Chi. She was the one who taught him what love was and gave him two sons. She has been alone for so long, more years than he cared to count. He never meant to leave her alone but there was no other choice. If he didn't leave her to fight, then she would've died and that was something he wasn't going to allow to happen. He looked at the two, sighed and realized what he had to do.

"I think it's best that I go home with Chi-Chi."

Bulma looked shocked while Chi-Chi looked relieved. "But why?" Bulma asked.

"Vegeta died whereas I was revived. I was given another chance at life and able to return to Earth on my own but Vegeta was sent here by King Yemma. He couldn't come back on his own or stay like I could. He was only sent back here to fight Majin Buu and he did. So, since I came back as a living being, I think it's best I stay with Chi-Chi, Gohan and Goten," Vegito explained.

"That's just Goku talking!" Bulma screamed and grabbed Vegito by the shoulders, shaking him. "Come on, Vegeta, say something! Say you will go home with me!"

Vegito grabbed Bulma's hands and took them off his shoulders. "Bulma, I have no choice. Kakarot is right."

"Stop saying that! That's the Goku side still talking! Vegeta would never agree to this! Vegeta isn't so noble!"

"Vegeta was noble when he died," Piccolo interrupted them. "He gave up his life for everyone. It was the first selfless thing he had done. You should accept his decision, Bulma."

Bulma folded her arms looking defeated as it seem everyone was against her, but she still had the look that she wasn't out for long. "Fine. I'll accept it for now, but I'm still going to see you at the house and you better not forget your other responsibilities. After all, you do have another son."

"Fine," Vegito said arrogantly folding his arms.

Bulma grabbed Vegito suddenly as if to give him a hug goodbye. "You better not try anything," she whispered in his ear. She pulled away suddenly, leaving Vegito to wonder what she meant about that.

Vegito walked over to Trunks and knelt to his height. "Trunks, I won't be around much so I want you to take care of your mother for me."

Trunks blinked in surprise. His father never said anything like that before. "Are you okay?"

"Huh?" he said and shook his head. "I mean, uh, you're man of the house so you're in charge." He stood up and walked to Chi-Chi, shaking his head. Apparently, Goku mind was blending with his, results of the fusion. It may have saved the Earth, but he cursed himself being joined with his rival forever and now he was going to live with his rival's family. He didn't like it, not one bit.

He stopped in front of Chi-Chi and glanced at Gohan and Goten. "Well, I, uh, guess we should be going home now." He picked up Chi-Chi awkwardly and flew off the Lookout.

Gohan and Goten followed behind them, keeping a respectful distance. "Hey, Gohan, do we call him Dad?" Goten asked.

Gohan looked at his younger brother and then at Vegito and Chi-Chi ahead at them, not sure himself. "I don't know. Dad is in there, but so is Vegeta, who's not our Dad. We'll ask when we get home." Gohan thought for a moment and then shuddered. 'Oh, man, Dad was thinking of doing the fusion with me. Good grief. That would've been a nightmare.'

As they flew home, the Vegeta side wondered about this new predicament. He sort of felt that ever since he met Goku, his life has been nothing but one crazy thing after another--dying once, settling on Earth with a wife and child, dying again and now living with his wife. He wondered if he could handle living with Chi-Chi. Just thinking about her name, made him think on how they first met.

"Gohan! Oh, my baby! You're back!" Chi-Chi cried happily hugging the little boy.

Vegeta was sitting under a tree and looked in the direction of the screaming woman. Who was she? He followed the Nameks and everyone else on board Dr. Brief's plane. He didn't have any other place to go so he figured he might as well stay at Capsule Corporation. On the flight back, he saw the woman again talking to Gohan about Goku and it immediately hit him that she was Goku's wife.

'That's Kakarot's wife? She's beautiful. How in the world did Kakarot get a woman like her?'

Chi-Chi glanced at Vegeta feeling his eyes on her and asked Gohan who he was. Once she learned his name, she glared at him angrily. Apparently, she knew who he was and Vegeta figured that either Goku or Gohan must have told her about him. After they landed, Chi-Chi and Gohan were preparing to leave when Vegeta approached them. He looked Chi-Chi over as if thinking. Chi-Chi glared at him, wondering what he was thinking.

"So, you're Kakarot's wife. Amazing a woman as weak as you could bore such a strong child."

"Weak?"

Vegeta laughed. "Yes, weak, and he chose an ugly wife at that."

"How dare you?!" Chi-Chi yelled. Vegeta just laughed and was caught off guard as he was picked up by Chi-Chi and thrown head first into the nearest tree. His head stood out on one end, his legs on the other and his torso was stuck in the bark of the tree.

Master Roshi looked on as he pushed his glasses back on his face. "This can't be good."

The Nameks stood in shock at what Chi-Chi had done. To them, she just signed her death sentence attacking the Saiyan Prince. Gohan stood by his mom surprised she did that and got in front of her protectively because he knew Vegeta would strike his mom for what she did.

A crackling sound was heard around the tree and then an explosion as the tree shattered in splinters. Vegeta stood on his feet, growling angrily and marched to Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi pushed Gohan behind her as if protecting him.

"Woman, do you know who I am?! I can destroy you with my bare hands!"

"I don't care who you are! If you dare try to harm me, my Goku will take care of you when he gets back!"

"Get back?!" Vegeta laughed. "Kakarot is dead! He died when Namek exploded!"

"My husband's name is Goku, not Kakarot! He's not an evil Saiyan like you and he's not dead! I refused to believe it!"

"Denial. Typical behavior for a woman," Vegeta huffed.

"It may look like he died, but I know my Goku found a way out. There's no way my husband would let himself die on that planet. There were spaceships! He made it off!" Chi-Chi explained.

"Whatever," Vegeta said and walked off.

"Come on, Gohan. We're going home," she spoke in a more calmer voice. "Flying Nimbus!"

Vegeta turned to see a yellow cloud zoom in the sky and landed in front of Chi-Chi. She got on and flew off with Gohan flying beside her. He wasn't sure why he was watching her fly away or why he just insulted her, maybe taking his hatred of Goku out on his wife. Strange, he thought about her throwing him into a tree and how bold and fearless she looked at him. No one other than Goku had given him that look. Either the woman was crazy or she was very brave. He chose to believe the latter.

'I think I see why he chose her after all.'

Vegito frowned thinking about the memory. Thinking about it would only lead to things he would prefer not to think about. It would only be dangerous.

Chi-Chi held onto Vegito wondering if this was the right decision. She will be living with Goku and Vegeta. She thought it was horrible that Goku died, relieved he was revived, and utterly unbelievable her newly revived husband was stuck in the same body as his rival. A rival who tried to kill her husband, who hated him for years because he was always stronger than him. Chi-Chi knew her husband would've done anything to save the Earth and Vegeta probably repelled the idea at first before agreeing to use the Old Kai's earrings.

Could her life get anymore complicated? Could she really tolerate this forever or more correctly tolerate Vegeta forever? She knew how loud, insulting and arrogant he was. Maybe she should've let Bulma take him. No, Chi-Chi realized. Goku was still inside and she always accepted Goku for who he was. She accepted him when she learned he was a Saiyan and not a human, a Super Saiyan, Ascended Saiyan and even a Super Saiyan Three though she never saw that and only heard it from Goten. No matter how many transformation enveloped Goku, he was still the sweet, naïve man she fell in love with. This new metamorphosis he has undertaken was nothing like anything she had seen before and she knew in time she would accept this form, but she couldn't love him.

To Be Continued

AN: ::peeks at reviews: Okay, so no one wants to kill me. I think that's a good sign. Next chapter should be longer and a lot more interesting. After all, there is the sleeping arrangement. Hee. Hee. I'm wicked for saying that.

Goten's Guardian Angel: It'll be a very unique one that's for sure. Heh. Heh. If only you knew what I was planning.

GD: Hope your exams went well. Gonna party now? I'm sure your Dad, Goku wouldn't mind.

Oninu: I'm trying to get them out soon. It's gonna be kind of long but given the storyline, it's understandable, right?

Trek: I don't know. I think it would create even more drama and the story will be even longer. Still the idea is hilarious.

Lotus Demon: You're not the only one. I see a lot of Bulma haters here.

Polka Dot: Though I would chose Goku over Vegeta any day, a little Vegeta isn't all that bad.

Ryn: Yeah, I noticed a lot of B/V stories out there. I've no idea why. Maybe because they are easier to write about than Goku and Chi-Chi. I like G/CC better anyway.

Cb: If you almost went on yourself here, then don't read 'Romancing the Wife.' Hee. Hee. Yeah, I'm a huge G/CC fan too! They are so much fun to write about.

Mel: So far, it's gonna be Vegito. Hee. Hee.

Lady Athena: Yeah, I always wondered what would've happened if Vegito had gotten the job done instead of toying with Buu. This story is going to get weird as if it's not already.

Royal Princess: Thanks.

Mali: Thank you. I see so many spellings of Chi-Chi's name. (Chi-Chi, ChiChi, Chichi, etc,) I just stick with the one I've seen on a card one. Either way, you know what I'm talking about.

Saiyajin-Princess: I'm just surprised at how many people want Vegito and Chi-Chi to hook up. I have to agree. I do think Chi-Chi is a better person than Bulma.

Vampkestrel: Hope you like this one.

Princess Frieza: Yeah, I think it was kind of obvious I was going in that direction. Hee. Hee.

Chi-chi: I've seen all the DBZ eps so yes I know they don't stayfued for long.

Myr: I know. Hee. Hee. I'm guilty with the bad cliffhangers.
