To Space And Back

Bulma

R: Okay peeps, don't fuck with Trunks.

T: Do it.

R: As authorized by Trunks, I have to do my job; Last chapter….um like things called Caburns…like they rescued Trunks and them. Vegeta hates Bulma and denies his heir and they find out that Nameke is destroyed so they can't wish everyone back. Um…did I leave anything out?

T: Nope

R: Um…okay. Peeps read and review!

King Tomi returned to the state of worn out crying Women with some food brought by his chefs on the ship. Luckily, he (King Tomi) had heard of the Planet Earth and knew of their customs of food and brought what was or could be called edible food for them all to eat. Trunks greeted King Tomi and helped him serve as Venux woke up Bulma and Karara. "I'm not hungry." Bulma replied as she spotted the food. "Mom, you haven't eaten for the past couple of days. That is not good for Mini-me. So please eat." Trunks said handing her a plate of what appeared to be steak and potatoes.

Bulma let out a sad sigh and took it. There was no way she was going to win. As they were eating, King Tomi took a seat. "Prince Trunks, as soon as you and Miss. Venux along with your daughter are done, I shall show you to your chambers. I'm afraid for Miss. Briefs, she will need to stay here as she is not fully recovered and my staff of medical doctors would like it if they keep on eye on her until' we reach my planet." "Of course. Besides it would be the best for Mini-me anyway." Trunks agreed.

Bulma, on the other hand, was not paying attention as she wolfed down the food like there was no tomorrow. Everyone noticed this and stared at her dumbfounded. Bulma looked down at her plate and then looked to Trunks. "I'm still hungry." she pouted. Everyone busted out laughing. "Here Mom. Eat up, Mini-me needs his strength. And get used to eating like me and Dad for a while." Bulma stared at Trunks shocked. "You serious?"

"Yes." Trunks replied. "Great, it'll take me years to work off the weight after this baby!" Bulma moaned her face in her hands. Venux came over and sat with Bulma on her bed. "Bulma, don't worry so much. Just eat and after the baby is born, I'll personally help you to lose your weight. But right now, you need to be a good parent and take care of your baby because of you don't, then that wouldn't do any good." Venux tried comforting Bulma. Bulma let out a smile and replied. "Thank you." and went back to food without a single thought on the subject. Then another thought struck Bulma. She had a ki damper on didn't she? She reached up to feel but it was all ready gone.

King Tomi noticed this and smiled. "I took the deliberately of taking off all your ki dampers and electric collars. I do hope you don't mind." Bulma returned the kind smile with one of her own. " I don't mind at all." "Good. Well as I can see all is finished. I think it is time we take our leave and let Miss. Briefs get her rest." King Tomi announced.

"But wait, what happened?" "What do you mean?" asked King Tomi. "How did I get here and I never got to formally introduce myself. I never got to thank you for your hospitality." Bulma said pleadingly. King Tomi smiled kindly at her. "Miss. Briefs, your thanks is greatly appreciated here, but we will have plenty of time to get to know one another later. Because I know of a certain Father of a baby, who is very worried for you and would like to see you get better." King Tomi hinted.

"He's-he's worried about me? But I thought he wanted me dead?" Bulma asked confused. Everyone gave her a puzzled look. Apparently, they all were not on the same page as her. "Uh Venux…why not you stay here and you two talk. I'll take Karara with me to help out King Tomi and I'll come back later to take you back to the room." Trunks suggested. "All right." Venux replied. "You ready to go Karara? Mommy and Miss. Bulma need some time alone. So come on." Trunks said to the lil' girl.

"Okay. Bye Mommy Venux and Miss. Bulma." Karara smiled and waved to Bulma and Venux. Trunks took her hand into his and they followed King Tomi to the labs, so he could help them sort out some problems. The two girls looked at each other and sighed.

"Where to begin?" Venux questioned to herself. "Well, I can start. See Cooler kept me in his labs room and told me that he was going to make my baby into the perfect killer and wanted to do tests. You could not believe how scared I was and well…Cooler also told me that Vegeta tried to kill me and wanted me dead the moment he found out I was pregnant. I remembered staying up the entire night crying and I remembered rubbing my belly and I felt that I needed to sleep and when I awoke, they had me tied to this steel bed type thing and I felt his heavy gravity. I felt I was gonna die and that is all I can remember. Perhaps you can help me fill in the blanks."

Venux looked at Bulma sympathetically. She must've been through hell with Cooler and if it had been her in Bulma's place he would've been just as scared and sadden by what Cooler was planning and how Vegeta was acting towards her. "Bulma, Vegeta cares for you, it's just…it's taking him a while to come around and accept his feeling for you." Bulma looked at Venux sadden. "No Venux, that can't be right. Vegeta cares nothing for me."

"He turned Super Saiyan because of you." "What?" Bulma whispered in disbelief. "And after he killed Cooler, he took you from Trunks and he wouldn't let anyone touch you or even let anyone do anything til' you were healed. I had to fight him to let the doctors touch you to heal you." Venux explained. Bulma stared at Venux bewildered. ("He did all of this…for me?") her mind demanded from her.

Venux saw the emotional battle Bulma was experiencing and pulled her into a comforting hug. "Don't worry so much. He'll come around, you'll see." Venux reassured. "I hope your right." Bulma mumbled into Venux's neck. "Besides, you have no time to worry. You have a baby to plan for and all this worry and stress can not be too good for him." Venux smiled at Bulma as the hug ended. Bulma let out a chuckle. "Guess your right." "I'm always right."

That Night!-

Bulma and Venux talked basically girl talk for a good couple of hours. And in that time, Trunks returned with King Tomi and Karara. It seemed Trunks upgraded a good 25 of the Caburns technology. They had returned because it was getting late and they needed to get to their now quarters in which event, this had left Bulma all alone.

Now it was about 2:30 in the morning, Bulma estimated in the morning. She couldn't sleep at all as her mind was troubled an her stomach full. All she could think about was ("What now? Does he love me or not? How am I ever gonna raise this baby alone?") she tossed and turned in her bed, getting tangled in her blankets and pillows. To no avail did this lessen her into blissful sleep.

Bulma stared up at the white ceiling, entrance to her troublesome thoughts. Finally, her mind said 'fuck it' and threw the comforters off. She swung her foot to the side of the bed and grabbed her robe. Perhaps a walk around the ship would put her into some sort of rest. Bulma slowly opened the door and ventured out into the darkness of the ship.

Vegeta!-

He had finished with his training. During the entire time, his senses were on the Woman and his unborn child. Through the bond, he sensed her thoughts and feelings. To him, it meant nothing. He would have to discuss with her very soon, what she must do. Then as he was walking, he saw her staring out the window. The stars illuminated her sadden features. She was troubled deeply by something, based on the sadden expression upon her beautiful porcelain face.

Vegeta had to resist every nerve in his body to prevent on kissing her and telling her how much she meant to him and how sorry he was. Instead, he stood there and crossed his arms with a stern look upon his face. "I don't believe walking around in the dark alone when she you be recovering is such a good idea." He spoke up. Startled, Bulma jumped and whirled around to face him. Her eyes wide with shock and fear. Her cheeks were a light crimson from being embarrassed and Vegeta eyed her unswollen belly.

Inside, he could sense the rapidly growing ki of his son. But he only looked at it for a split second. His eyes locked with Bulma's. she looked beautiful, even when she feared him. He had to resist the urge to hug her close to him. And at this time, his pride intervened and turned him back to the cold bloodied warrior. "Vegeta…what are you doing here?" she whispered to him in the darkness.

There was a deafening silence between the two. So much tension and yet so much chemistry clashing together. "I should be asking you the same question." Vegeta replied quickly. Bulma darted her eyes away from him. "I couldn't sleep. I thought that perhaps a walk would cure me of that." Vegeta let out a snort. "It's the brat that is restless and keeping you up Woman. Just rub your stomach and you'll fall asleep." Vegeta explained.

Bulma stared at him amazed. "Thanks for the information…I…Vegeta…" "Save it Woman. Just because, you are siring my heir, does not change anything. You are still worthless than trash to me. Hell, you are not even worthy to lick the gore off my boots and the Brat will not effect me either! Coming from you he wouldn't be worth it anyway!" Vegeta snapped.

Bulma stood there, only this time, her eyes narrowed and she closed the gap between them. She raised her hand and brought it down upon him face. Striking him with as much force as her body would allow her. A bright red hand print was evident on Vegeta's features as his face tingled from the contact of fleshes meeting. "No Vegeta, you are wrong. He is worth everything and I do not want you a part of this baby's life. He is better off thinking his father is dead than have a father alive to tell him he hates him to get at me!

You are a selfish self-centered prick! You stay away from me and MY child! He doesn't need scum like you in his life and come to think of it, neither do I! So piss off!" Bulma screamed as she turned on her heel to leave. Vegeta, out of rage, grabbed her arm, but Bulma turned around and kicked him right in the balls. Vegeta doubled over in pain. "That'll teach you to ever fucking touch me again you fucking bastard!" Bulma seethed.

Then she ran. She couldn't go back to the infirmary. From what she could tell, she was healed and felt no reason to stay. ("Good think I keep my capsules with me.") Bulma had no idea where she was going. She couldn't read the foreign words painted on the signs of which way is what. But, on a chance of luck, she found what appeared to be the labs. And on another stroke of luck, she found an escape ship! ("All right Bulma! Here's your chance to escape!") Bulma thought triumphantly. She entered the ship and within moments, she adapted to learning and working the controls.

She opened the port to escape and took off. As she watched the main ship disappear from view, Bulma looked down at her clothes. "Perhaps, I should get changed. So Bulma started to explore the escape ship. She found a big enough room to open her capsule house and decide to change in there. She chose an outfit of silk pajamas she decoded that now was the time to go to sleep. Problem was that her mind was full of the earlier events.

Vegeta had said all those horrible things to her and. Not to mention she had kicked him in the balls, but he really deserved it! Then there was the fact she had left Trunks and his family. ("Who am I kidding? I don't belong anyway. Vegeta doesn't want me and I'm only a burden to Trunks and his family. I'll just b in the way when I am caring this baby. There is no way I can stay with them. A rice ball doesn't belong in a fruits basket!") she told herself.

She had never felt so alone or devastated. Yet, she was still here and for the remainder of the night, she had cried herself to sleep…

B: Hmmm…where to go to from here?

T: MOM YOU MESSED UP DA STORY AGAIN!

B: Mmmhmmm

T: Grrrr….

B: I'll fix it don't worry.

T: You had better!

DC: I don't own DB/Z/GT according to Trunks and lawyers.
