Well, six months later, life at the time was quite peaceful. My life, I felt, couldn't be more perfect. My love for Vegeta has continued to grow and I'm sure his love for me did too. The only thing was, that I found out about something. I had known for a couple of weeks at the time, but I was too afraid to tell Vegeta. I feared that he would get so mad, that he would leave. I had found out that I was pregnant. I wasn't showing it yet but I'm sure he was curious as to why I had started eating alot more than I use to.
I was in the kitchen at the time, and I was starting to prepare lunch. My mother entered, with her stupid, perky smile.
"Honey dear, your father and I have to go on another business trip."
"Oh, where and for how long this time?"
"Well, I think were going to Canada this time. We should be back in a couple of weeks. Are you going to be ok while we're gone?"
"I should be fine mother."
"Have you told Vegeta yet?"
I looked at the ground. I was a bit ashamed that I haven't. "No... I haven't told him."
"Oh, dear. You really should tell him soon. Well, anyway, I have to get going. I'll miss you while I'm gone. Take care, honey."
"Ok mother. I'll miss you too." And by the time I looked up, she was gone. I walked over to the table and sat down. I felt so bad for hiding something from Vegeta. I tried not to cry but I just couldn't hold it back enough. And just at that moment, Vegeta walked in. I immediatly turned away from him. He just looked at me and tried to get a closer look at my face.
I tried my hardest to hide my face from him, but I couldn't. He sat down in the chair beside me, and grabbed my face.
"What is wrong, woman? Why are you crying?"
"Uh...uh, nothing." I lied but he knew better.
"Don't lie to me, ever! I know something is wrong and I demand to know what it is!" He was mad, and he had every right to be.
"Ok, I'll admit, something is wrong, but I don't need you getting mad at me. It's going to be hard enough just to try and tell you."
"So...what is it already?"
"Vegeta, I...I..uh...I can't do this!!!"
"Why not?!! Tell me NOW!!" By this time, he held my wrists, and was not going to let me go till I told him. "What is going on?! Are you with that weakling again?!!! Errrrr.....if you are...you better tell me now before I do something you won't like!"
"No Vegeta, I'm not cheating on you! It's just...I..."
"Then just fucking tell me what it is already!!"
"I'm pregnant!!" Vegeta just looked at me with such a look on his face. I will never forget it. The look told me a few things; anger, confusion, and most of all, fear. He started backing away from me. I couldn't help myself, I just had to cry and let it all out. I was deeply afraid that he was going to react like that, and I was right. He just turned away and started heading towards the door. I wanted to run after him but felt it was best to let him think about it first.
It took a week before he would even talk to me, and when he did, it was mainly just grunts. I understood why he was acting like this, but I didn't like it at all. I wished everyday that he would finally except it and be happy about it, but I just had to be patient. I had recieved a letter from my mom that day too. I had sent a letter to her a couple of days before and told her what happened. She was always good with reassurance. She did help me feel better, but only a bit.
that night, I went to our bedroom, and noticed that he was already in bed. He wasn't sleeping but he seemed to be calm, for once. I got changed and got in the bed. I tried not to look at him, in fear that he would still be mad at me. I did notice that he did look at me a few times, to see if I was looking. I got so tense. I thought I was never going to be able to get to sleep. He then turned his body around towards me and looked right into my face. I started to get nervous.
"Why are you so tense? Am I making you nervous? Why?"
"Be...cause....I just ...I'm just scared."
"I don't understand."
"Well of course you wouldn't. But what I don't understand is why you can't just accept this child. Why do you act like it's a bad thing?"
"I...I don't know why. I guess I just find it hard to accept that I have a child now to take care of. I never thought I'd have that kind of responsibility. I thought when I was younger that I would, but that was different then."
"How so?"
"Well, back then, I understood that it was my duty as a Saiyan to have a child, I mean, an heir to the throne. But after my planet was destroyed, I saw no reason for it anymore. I just didn't know how to take it."
I didn't know how to respond to that. I wasn't use to hearing much about his past. I was surprised yet comforted to know that he was able to be so open with me. I reached out my hand to take his. I looked at him and smiled.
"How do you really feel about it?"
"I'm still unsure."
"Well, you shouldn't think of it as a bad thing. You may not need an heir anymore but it should still feel good to know you'll have a child of your own that's still apart of you, and me."
I don't know what it really was that changed him, but he started to slowly show some feelings, good feelings, about us having a child. He also started to get a bit more curious. He would ask me things about why I would eat so much and why I got sick so often. It was actually kind of funny, and cute.
One day, shortly after the talk we had, I got together with a few of my friends. I got really excited because they were taking me out, shopping for some things for the baby. I just loved shopping. I love having an excuse to spend my money (even though I had a lot of it). They took me downtown to the mall. Vegeta was curious as to what I was going to get but I told him he didn't want to know. I was right too. He didn't want to have anything to do with it once he knew what we were doing.
All four of us, were like kids in a candy store once we got in the mall. One of my best friends heading straight over to the jewlery department. She had quite the obsession with that stuff. The others and I went over to the baby department. We looked at some nice cribs and other baby accessories. I was going crazy. I must have spent about over $1000 easily in there. I loved it though. I wanted the best for my child.
After we got all the things I needed for the baby, I decided to treat myself to some new clothes. I was soon going to be too big for the clothes I had right now. Besides, that didn't mean I couldn't get something that I could wear that would make Vegeta drool. Even though I was pregnant, he still found me sexy.
3 hours had past since we arrived at the mall, and it was time that we left. I was getting tired and I wanted to go home a rest a bit. When we got to my house, I told them to come inside with me for a bit. As got in the door, I noticed that Vegeta was out in the ship training. I thought, 'perfect, now he won't bother us.' The girls agreed with me as they followed me into the livingroom.
When we were done watching a movie, they decided it was time to leave. As they got in the car, I said my goodbyes. After they pulled out and were around the corner, I started heading inside. As I was about to close the door, I heard a voice from outside. I opened the door back up to find someone I was not expecting to see.
"Hello Bulma, how's it goin?" Yamcha said, with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, hi Yamcha. I didn't know you were coming. I'm doing just fine." I said, trying to be calm, but I was actually feeling quite nervous. I didn't know how to feel around Yamcha. Plus, he was starting to scare me as he walked closer to me.
"I see something's been going on. What's with all the boxes?"
"Umm...my friends and I just went to the mall."
"Oh, and what did you get?"
"Stuff."
"Oh come on Bulma. I'm only asking a simple question."
He was right. He had to know sooner or later. "If you really want to know, I bought some things for my baby."
Yamcha's eyes were open wide now. He had no idea. He had only gone to see me to see what's was new with me since I hasn't talked to him in a while, but to find I was pregnant. He didn't know how to take the news.
"Well, I'm happy for ya. Congrats."
I was shocked. I thought he was going to take it harder than he did. "Uh..thanks. Anyway I got to go inside and start putting these boxes away."
"You want any help?"
"No, I'll be fine. If I need any help, I just get Vegeta to help me. Bye Yamcha."
"Ya, bye." He said as he watched me close the door. He started heading towards his car. Once he was inside, he sat back and thougth to himself. He just couldn't believe what was happening. He soon snapped out of it, and started the car. Soon, he was gone in the distance, on his way back to his house.
Hey, I know it's been a while since I've updated but I have been so busy and I had writer's block for a while. Plus, I started another story. Well, please tell me what you think of the way this story is going. I loved to know what you think of it.
