Unexpected Love
Part Six
Bulma's family and Chi-Chi's family met at the beach. It was Bulma's idea for them to get together. Bulma decided not to meet at Master Roshi's island and opted for a more public beach. Chi-Chi wasn't up to the idea but Gohan and Goten were able to convince their mother. Bulma had a rough time getting Vegeta to come too but she made a deal with him. If he went with her to the beach, she wouldn't complain about his training for two weeks.
Vegeta and Bulma got into an argument about her outfit. Bulma was wearing a red bikini and Vegeta argued since she was his wife, she wouldn't wear such an outfit in public. Bulma ignored him. They met Chi-Chi's family at the beach.
Chi-Chi was wearing a yellow swimsuit with a yellow cover up. Gohan was in a pair of trunks and t-shirt. Four-year-old Goten wore shorts and a t-shirt. Vegeta admitted to himself Chi-Chi's out fit was much better since she was move covered but wasn't fond of it. Living the life he led, it was strange to see people wear so little clothing.
They all found a nice spot on the beach. Chi-Chi brought the food and Bulma brought the large umbrellas, beach towels and blankets. Bulma quickly put on suntan lotion on Trunks. While Chi-Chi put some on Goten. Bulma tried to put some on Vegeta but he refused.
"Come on, Vegeta. Let's go in the water for a swim," Bulma suggested.
"Why? I let you drag me to this place. You didn't say anything about swimming and since it wasn't in the deal, I'm not going."
"Fine then! Who needs you!" Bulma fumed. "But that means you will watch Trunks!"
Vegeta huffed and folded his arms.
Chi-Chi had ignored them as she was busy helping Gohan and Goten with building a sandcastle. Trunks walked over to help them with the task.
"Mom, can I take Goten down by the water?" Gohan asked after the castle was built. "I'll be careful to watch him."
"I wanna go, too," Trunks said tugging on Gohan's shorts.
Gohan looked to his Mom. "Can he come too?"
"You can take Goten but you should ask Vegeta about taking Trunks," Chi-Chi told him.
Gohan looked at Vegeta. "Will it be all right if I take Trunks down by the water with me?"
"If you let him drown, I'll kill you," Vegeta said putting on a pair of dark shades.
"I guess that means you can come Trunks." Gohan said taking his little brother and Trunks away to the water.
Chi-Chi hummed to herself as she put suntan lotion on her skin. "You should've listen to your wife and put this lotion on your skin so it won't burn."
"My skin isn't as weak as you humans."
"Fine," Chi-Chi said. "Don't say I told you so. Goku's skin used to burn and he's stronger than you." She heard Vegeta mumbled something but it wasn't coherent to her ears.
"Hey, baby."
Chi-Chi looked up to see a tall, muscular man standing before her. Vegeta saw him through his shades and wondered what he wanted. "Excuse me?"
"You want to get a drink at the bar?" the guy asked.
"No," Chi-Chi answered.
"Aw, come on, babe. A pretty little thing like you would look great with me."
Chi-Chi started to tell him to buzz off but Vegeta beat her to it. "The lady's not interested."
The man looked down at the Vegeta. Since he was short, the tall guy figured he could take Vegeta if he wanted to fight. "Who're you?"
"Your maker if you don't leave."
The guy laughed. "A shrimp like you." He looked at Chi-Chi. "Don't tell me this loser is your guy?"
"No," Vegeta said rising from his seat. "But I suggest you leave."
The guy looked down at Vegeta. "She's not yours so I can talk to her anyway I like. It's not like you're going to do anything about it. Not like you could. In fact--WHOA!" The guy yelled as he was picked up and thrown to the other side of the beach. From what she could see, the guy landed in the sand head first with his legs sticking up.
"Vegeta!" Chi-Chi yelled. "You could've hurt that man!"
"And?" Vegeta said sitting back down in his lounge chair. "The man was blocking my sun. Besides it's not something that happens to you on a regular basis anyway. You're ugly and if some idiot did make a pass at you, Kami knows Kakarot wouldn't have done a thing."
Chi-Chi started to yell at Vegeta and bash him with the beach umbrella, but had a better way to go about his insult. "The reason Goku and I never had this problem was because they took one look at Goku and knew to step down. He was tall, muscular and handsome unlike you and they knew by looking at him, he would hurt them if they make a pass."
Vegeta huffed and turned away. "The only reason he hit on you was because you wore that vulgar piece of clothing."
"It's a swimsuit, Vegeta. People wear swimsuits to the beach and my outfit covers up more skin than the bikini your wife is wearing," Chi-Chi pointed out.
"Yeah, well, Bulma likes wearing those outfits in public despite what I say. It's vulgar and gives unwanted attention."
"I don't believe it."
"You don't believe what?" Vegeta asked annoyed.
"We actually have something in common. We both agree Bulma's taste in clothing can be tasteless. She's pretty. She doesn't need to show off her body to get attention." Chi-Chi saw part of his arm was starting to burn. "You know your skin is burning."
"Leave me alone."
Chi-Chi rolled her eyes. "You're so pathetic. I swear, you're like a child. Goku would listen to me. You should listen to your wife, too." Chi-Chi took some of her lotion and put it in her hand. She took the seat that was for Bulma and put the lotion on his arm and back.
"Woman, what are you doing? Stop touching me."
"Hey, it's not a pleasure trip for me either, but I can't stand it when people don't take care of themselves. I'll be quick." She quickly put the lotion on his arms and back. "There. Finish." She stood up and went back to her seat. "Now that wasn't bad, was it?"
Vegeta was still reeling from the sensations he got when Chi-Chi touched him to answer. She worked too fast to put the lotion on. He wanted her to go slow in gentle strokes, the way she would do if he were Goku. He started to say something but she was making her way to the water where her son and his son were.
He saw her at the water playing with Goten, Gohan and Trunks. She picked up Goten and swung him around. The four-year-old laughed happily. He shook his head. He shouldn't be thinking about her like that. He looked for Bulma and saw her coming out of the water and to him.
Bulma rested in her chair. "So, you finally got some sense to put the sun tan lotion on."
Vegeta didn't tell her that Chi-Chi put it on him. He was already feeling guilt about it and though he knew Bulma wouldn't think anything of it, he thought best to keep quit about it. Strange, it was the last time he really saw Chi-Chi again. For some reason, Bulma decided she was going to take Goten home no matter how busy she was. She stopped inviting Vegeta when she went out with Trunks to meet with Chi-Chi and her family somewhere. He wasn't sure why and at the time didn't care. The next time he saw her was the day Goku was came back for his one day visit.
He did his best to avoid her. Vegeta felt a twinge of detest towards Goku when he sat Goten down on the ground after hugging him for the first time and embraced Chi-Chi. Goku pulled away and put his arm around his wife as they walked to the sign up area.
"You look great, hon," Goku told Chi-Chi.
Chi-Chi blushed. "Really?"
"Of course. Seven years haven't touched you, Chi-Chi," Goku said and whispered something in her ear, making her turn red in the face.
Chi-Chi reached up and whispered something in Goku's ear. Goku chuckled. "You haven't changed at all have you, Chi-Chi?"
"I've been busy making you a big feast. I've got all the dessert finished and I'll finished making dinner when we get home. You're gonna be so full you won't be able to do anything after you eat."
Goku scratched his head. "I hope I don't be immobile for long," he said and gave Chi-Chi a knowing wink and she blushed.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Oh, get a room," Vegeta mumbled. "This is the last thing I need to see."
Everyone had stopped and looked at Vegeta. The Saiyan Prince didn't know he was speaking out loud until he felt everyone's eyes on him. "What are you all gawking at?!" Vegeta shouted.
"You," Bulma said. She looked upset at him. "Don't you start with this today of all days. You leave them alone."
The tone in Bulma's voice was anger yes, but it wasn't just that. It was something he couldn't place. It almost looked like she was hurt. Why? He wasn't sure.
Vegito watched as Chi-Chi and Goten slept. She looked beautiful sleeping with Goten. Goten was snuggled up to her. The Vegeta side couldn't believe he was falling for her. He thought about her reaction to his confession last night. She was confused about her feelings when he told her how he felt.
She needed time to let it all settle in, he knew. It was probably best that he didn't be in here when she had awakened. It was probably best that he didn't talk to her for a while. She needed to talk to her husband. He began to see that he was wrong for approaching Chi-Chi like he did last night. She loved her husband and was fighting her feelings to this new form her husband has taken. He wasn't a man to take a woman from another man no matter how he felt. He had honor. He had pride after all. He didn't take Bulma from Yamcha. Bulma left Yamcha and turned to Vegeta, so he wasn't going to take Chi-Chi from Goku.
So, with a gentle farewell kiss to her lips, Vegito got up and left the room.
****
Chi-Chi hummed a happy tune to herself as she hung some clothes to dry on the line. A few more weeks have passed now since that night. She was glad that the Vegeta side hadn't come out as much anymore and was grateful to be talking to Goku most of the time.
She wondered why he stopped. Maybe he realized how foolish he was to make that confession to her. She wasn't sure and she wasn't going to question it.
"Hey, Chi-Chi!"
Chi-Chi jumped. She saw Vegito land beside her. "You startled me. What have you been doing today? You left right after breakfast this morning."
"I was doing some flying and thinking," Vegito said taking a shirt and hanging it on the line.
"About what?" Chi-Chi asked putting a shirt out on the line as well. It didn't surprised her that Vegito was helping her. In the early part of their marriage, Goku would sometimes be outside with Chi-Chi as she hung clothes.
"This and that. I still can't get over Vegeta's feelings for you."
"I know what you mean, but I don't want to talk about that. It's you I love, Goku. We should forget it and try to make things as normal as can be. Speaking of which, have you seen Krillin since the fusion?"
Vegito frowned. "That's where I went today. Krillin's not comfortable with it. He tried to be cheerful about it, but every time I talked to him, he looked as if he was going to jump out of his skin or that I will attack him. He's still not used to it yet."
"You two were best friends. I can't believe Krillin would feel uncomfortable talking to you because you share a body with Vegeta now." Chi-Chi picked up her empty basket and started walking to the house.
Vegito followed her. "Hey, Chi-Chi. How about we take a walk into the forest?"
Chi-Chi didn't see anything wrong with that so she set her basket on the ground by the house and joined Vegito as they walked into the forest. He put an arm around her and Chi-Chi leaned into him, knowing she was with Goku now.
"Krillin has his own family too, so maybe I should leave him alone for a while," Vegito thought. "He'll come around I guess."
"It's been four months. I can't believe Krillin is willing to throw over twenty years of friendship because of this. It's stupid."
"I'm glad you and the boys didn't turn away from me, Chi-Chi. I don't know what I'd do if that happened."
"Well, we love you, Goku, but it wasn't easy. Goten easily took to you in this form. It's probably because he acts so much like you, but Gohan and I needed more time. Gohan has warmed up more and more over the weeks and--"
"You kept your distant most of the time," he pointed out.
"Yes. I didn't know how to act with you. You were my husband and another man. I can't do certain things with you. I can't kiss you, hug you or make love to you. I'm still having trouble with this," Chi-Chi explained.
"Well, you did kiss me."
"I never meant to do that. You, er, the Vegeta side came on me suddenly. I didn't know what was happening until it did."
Vegito hugged her tighter. "It's okay. I miss holding you, Chi-Chi. Actually, I miss doing a lot of things with you."
"I miss it, too," Chi-Chi said. "It's frustrating, you know. You're so close and yet you're so far away."
"Huh?" Vegito said confused.
Chi-Chi laughed. That was the Goku side all right. "I mean, you're so close for me to touch you, but you're so far away because you're in this form."
Vegito stopped and so did Chi-Chi. He faced her, placing his hand on her shoulders. They stared at each other. The only sounds that were heard were the birds chirping, squirrels running up and down trees and other animals going about their business in the wild. Finally, he spoke. "I…want to touch you, too."
And the next thing Chi-Chi knew, they were kissing. Chi-Chi wasn't sure if she kissed him or if the Goku side initiated the encounter. In any case, they were both active participants in the kiss. She felt his hands all over body, her hair falling free from her bun as he pulled the ribbon loose. One hand ran its fingers through her hair, his other hand was cupping her bottom.
Chi-Chi's hands were all over Vegito as well. Her hand was running through his dark locks while the other ran up his back. While Chi-Chi was still trying to decide whether or not to let this go further, she felt lips on her neck and his hand pressing her body against his. She was unavoidable aware of his desire. That was enough to make Chi-Chi pulled back.
"We can't, Goku," Chi-Chi said trying to control her heavy breathing. "You're not you. I shouldn't be touching you like this."
"I know because I share this body with Vegeta," he spoke trying to control his breathing as well. He clenched his fist trying to get control of himself. "But it's hard, Chi-Chi. I've missed you so much. It's hard for me to look at you and not touch you, not want to take you to our room make love to you for the rest of the day. Seven years is a long time."
"I know," she breathed huskily. "But, Goku, we can't."
"It's hard to control, Chi-Chi, especially right now. That's the reason why I let Vegeta out often to control myself from touching you, but I had no idea that he had feelings for you. It's my fault he exposed his feelings to you and I'm sorry."
Chi-Chi touched Vegito's shoulder. "You let Vegeta out?" Chi-Chi was surprised. A part of her was upset he did that, but another part of her understood. Goku didn't know what Vegeta was feeling. He thought he was doing the right thing by letting Vegeta to take over so he could control himself from her. "Goku, you couldn't have known."
"I've confused you so much, Chi-Chi. Your feelings are mixed. I know you're attracted to this body."
"That's because you're in this body, Goku."
"But it's also the Vegeta half you're attracted to. I know you're attracted to the Vegeta half and it's because our bodies, personalities have blended together. I know if we were separate you wouldn't have any feelings for Vegeta. I know what you said to him--"
Chi-Chi cut him off. "Goku, what I may feel for this body is physical attraction and that's because you are in it. It's you I love. If you weren't in here, I wouldn't be drawn to this body."
"I know that, but I am in here and I know it's selfish, but I want you, even if Vegeta is in this body."
"If I be with you, it's because of you, Goku, not Vegeta." Chi-Chi told him.
Goku nodded. He cupped her face. "I know that if we make love when I'm in this body then you will be making love to Vegeta as well. But I know where your true feelings lie. I know that it is me that you love and I won't have any regrets if we decide to make love in this body. I know you're loyal to me. You've waited seven years for my return. You've been so faithful to me in death that I have no doubt about your faithfulness to me now. I know I'm to blame for your feelings, guilt and doubts. Everything you've been going through over the past weeks, is my fault. If I hadn't fused with Vegeta we wouldn't be in this predicament. So, don't feel guilty if we succumb to our temptations. I don't want you to feel it at all."
Chi-Chi looked at Goku with tears in her eyes. She embraced him crying. He doesn't hold any bad feelings for Chi-Chi for the feelings she's been having for both him and Vegeta lately. She felt his arms around him and he whispered words of comfort to her. She never loved Goku more than she did now. He understood her.
****
Things were much better between Chi-Chi and Vegito ever since her talk with the Goku side. She relaxed a great deal and felt comfortable with him. Even when the Vegeta side would occasionally come out, she was polite to it. She would kiss him, but only when she knew she was talking to Goku and they never did it in front of the children.
Vegito, Chi-Chi and Goten were sitting at the kitchen table playing a game of Uno. Gohan came down stairs dressed for his date with Videl.
"Well, I'm off. Videl and I are going to see a movie and then get something to eat," Gohan said.
Chi-Chi looked at Gohan. "Wow. Look at you. My son dating. Be very nice to your future wife Gohan."
Gohan blushed. "Mom. We're just dating. We're going to the movies not get married."
"It's never too soon to start. Your father and I married early, but you're going to get a college education and a job first," Chi-Chi told him.
Vegito was laughing at Gohan, enjoying the embarrassment.
"Be back by 11:00," Chi-Chi told him.
"I will, Mom. Bye," Gohan said and left.
Two hours later, Goten was in bed as well, leaving Chi-Chi and Vegito up. The two were playing checkers now. Chi-Chi had been playing the match intensely and Vegito has been playing the game like it's been no big deal.
"Hee. Hee. I win!" Vegito cheered.
"I let you win," Chi-Chi said closing the game up.
"Sure you did," Vegito teased.
Chi-Chi put the game in the drawer and looked at the clock. It was ten-thirty. "Gohan should be home in thirty minutes."
"You're not going to wait up for him, are you?" Vegito asked.
"Why not?"
"Chi-Chi, Gohan's a good kid. He'll be back on time. He doesn't need his mother to wait up for him." He put his arm around her and walked her to the sofa.
"You're so easy to let go of your children. I'm not. No matter how old he will get, he's still my little baby," Chi-Chi said.
"He's an adult now. Remember we were married at his age. Your Dad cried at our wedding. He wasn't ready to let you yet, but you were ready to leave."
"I was ready to begin my new life as a wife to my husband."
"You were ready to go to bed with me," Vegito joked.
Chi-Chi punched his arm teasingly. "Like you knew anything about it. I taught you everything."
"You were a good teacher," he said with a wink.
Chi-Chi smirked at him. "You were a fast learner." She blushed. "I think one of the happiest times of my life was in the early years of our marriage where we learn to love each other."
"You taught me a lot of things--life, love, what it means to have a family." He cupped her face and kissed her softly. "I love you."
"I love you, too," Chi-Chi said and kissed Vegito back.
The kiss was more intense than it had been before. Their hands were all over each other. Vegito slowly pushed Chi-Chi down on the sofa with his body covering hers. The feel of her was too tempting to resist. She was wearing her dresses with the slit and he couldn't help but touch her knee and move his hands up her bare thigh. He slowly caressed her inner thigh. Chi-Chi moaned and pushed herself against him.
Vegito pulled back suddenly. "We better stop."
"Why?" Chi-Chi asked.
"If we don't stop now, I won't be able to stop, Chi-Chi. You're not certain about your feelings yet. I don't want you to regret this." Vegito got off Chi-Chi. "I'm going to bed."
Chi-Chi stood in front of his door. Vegito had gone in his room moments ago. She was certain she wanted to be with him. She loved him. She had accepted the fact that Goku was going to be sharing a body with Vegeta forever. She accepted the fact that she wouldn't have her Goku again. She came to that conclusion last week. During that particular week, marked the fourth month of this fusion. The dragon balls have been reenergized days ago, and Chi-Chi knew Bulma would've tried to make a wish to the dragon to separate them the moment it was ready. So, Chi-Chi figured Bulma tried it and it never worked. Chi-Chi was aware that while she will be making love to Goku she will be making love to Vegeta as well. A part of her might be attracted to the Vegeta side, but she loved Goku. She wanted him and was willing to be with him no matter what form, even if he was Vegito.
With a brave face, Chi-Chi opened the door and entered his room.
To Be Continued
AN: Was this chapter crappy? Rushed? Hmm, let's see. You guys are either thinking-- 'Did they do it? Are they finally going to do it? Curse you Lady Thundera for another cliffhanger! Vegeta would never sleep with Chi-Chi' I know some of you are out there thinking that. I'll be going out of town at the end of the week so I may post Part Seven late Thursday night.
Leigh: I think since people see Chi-Chi yelling all the time, they think that's how she acts all the time but that's only one side of Chi-Chi. She's like you said, a woman who loves and would do anything for her family. I don't think I would've had the guts to slap Majin Buu. Well, I hope I didn't rush it with the ending there.
Vampkestral: Hee. Hee. Someone commented that Vegito is the best of both. I guess if someone wanted both, that's the way to go about it.
Oninu: I was expecting this review. Well, since you don't like this chapter, you won't like future chapters, so I think you should stop reading now.
Lady Athena: Blue haired skank? LOL! I think that talk with the Goku side really helped Chi-Chi out. Chi-Chi didn't know Bulma would act that way. Wow. I made you feel sorry for Bulma. Man, I must be a good writer to do that. Heh. Heh. I think you will want to strangle Bulma in the future and then me for writing it. Hee. Hee.
Lola: Yes, I did warn them, but I guess they didn't think I would go in this direction. The story is called 'Unexpected Love'. I think you would want to hurt me for future cliffhangers.
Chuquita: Wow. I hadn't thought of the dream to be a manifestation of Vegeta's negative thoughts. Let that be it. It really helped with what Goku said to Chi-Chi in this chapter.
Midnight Goddess: It will have an ending, whether everyone would like it is up to the reader itself. First of all, I never expected there to be so many Bulma haters and so many Vegito/Chi-Chi lovers so I changed it so I think every reader should like it.
GD: Vegito is handsome, isn't he? Heh. Heh. I'm a sucker for kid Goten too. He's just too adorable.
Dragon's Moon: LOL! Some like it that Vegito and Chi-Chi are taking it slow and some are ready for them to jump in the bed. Goku wants her a lot as you read in this chapter. Heh. Heh. I don't get why not a lot of people like Chi-Chi. She makes me laugh and I think she's cool.
Cb: I don't DBZ is the type of show that shows that affection. That's one of the reasons why I was so shocked that Goku told Chi-Chi he loved her. I knew he did, but I didn't think he would say it. Ooh, that episode comes on today. There are different moments through the DBZ series that shows Goku loves Chi-Chi. They have more scenes than any other couple. Man, I hope they show the Frieza Saga again because there's a scene in Embodiment of Fire that shows that Goku loves Chi-Chi and I was so happy that Goku said in it the Japanese version. I got my DVD's at a comic store but you can order them online like at Amazon. Blockbusters, Circuit City and Best Buy have them, too. Rats! Your parents don't let you watch DBZ. I'm glad I never had that problem of course I was in my late teens when I first saw DBZ on CN and my parents trusted me with what I watched.
Xshiny: I think it's kind of good that you feel sorry for Bulma. Now you know what she's going through but her future actions are going to be inexcusable.
Princess Frieza: Thanks. I thought a lot of people were going to hate that scene with Vegeta telling Chi-Chi all.
Saiyajin-Princess: Yes, you're right to suspect Bulma is up to something but she will be provoked to do it because of what will happen in the next chapter. Bulma get back with Yamcha? Not in this story.
Danichan667: Thanks a lot. Your words are very thoughtful. Yeah, I'm trying to ignore the V/B fans. I did warn them and if they keep reading even after I tell them they shouldn't, it's their fault.
Ssjchika: I think Goku talking to Chi-Chi really helped out and Vegeta not coming out as much made things even better for Chi-Chi.
Goten's Guardian Angel: Bulma ruins things because she wants Vegeta back. Can't blame a girl for trying. Watch you start to hate Bulma? You're gonna want to kick her butt or mine since I wrote it after a certain chapter. Whoo-hoo! I got a Goku plushie! Now, I can actually say I sleep with Goku every night. Heh. Heh. I'm a fanfic reader myself and I like quick updates and I don't like my stories being out there too long without an update because I know a lot of people want to know what will happen soon and I'm greedy for reviews (heh heh), but I know everyone has busy lives including me and can't update fast so I always write it several chapters in advance so I wouldn't have problems updating quick.
