T: I'm sorry, but Recap won't be joining us for this Chappie. He is busy doing a wild goose chase!

R: -lost in middle of Sahara Desert!- Where the hell am I?

T: Stupid Recap, when will you ever learn!

The next morning they had left the planet of Baskin in search for their Dragonball. Needless to day, Bulma had felt pretty good on her adventures, not mentioning she had put a stop to torture and pain for the Kindle. So now, everyone could live in peace. It gave her a warm sense of pride to know she was making a difference in the universe and helping those less fortunate than her. And besides, she was one step to closer to getting her home back. Everything was going so well.

Bulma worked steadily in her labs with Karara by her side as her assistant. Bulma wanted to spend so much time with the child. In a sense, she was preparing her mind and body for Motherhood. Yes, Motherhood. Oh how she yearned to hold her baby in her arms, yet she dread the day when he would emerged into this universe and her to take over. After all, she was allergic to pain. Karara handed Bulma a wrench as she was working under the newly remodeled GR. She needed something to do with her time. Might as well get something productive done.

"Miss Bulma…are you really going to have a baby?" asked Karara right out of the blue. Bulma, surprised by the direct question and from Karara no less, smiled kindly at her. "Yes. Why do you ask" "Well, everyone was talking about it and maybe I could play with your baby when your baby comes." Karara smiled. Bulma let out a giggle. "I think that would be an excellent idea" Bulma replied. Karara let out a sigh. "I wish I could have a lil' brother or sister. But I don't think Daddy or Mommy would want to have a baby now." Karara sighed sadly.

Bulma laughed lightly in knowing. She placed a gentle, comforting hand on the child's shoulders. "Karara, just give them time, besides I don't even think they are married yet. They are still young and still finding their way to each other. Don't not worry so much. Enjoy being an only child for now and concentrating on growing up. Just be yourself and you'll be fine."

"Okay, I guess your right." "That a girl." "Miss. Bulma, are we ever going to get your planet back?" "I would like to think so and I believe we will once we get the 8 Dragonballs." "What was your planet like?" asked the child as curiosity got the better of her. "Well, it was beautiful to gaze at in space. Like a glowing gem shrouded in darkness. On the planet, it just depends on where you were at in the world. I came from a busy city. But I also explored the world. I came from giant waterfalls and gazing at the millions of stars at night. I went on many Dragonball adventures and seen the World in only a short amount of a lifetime for many. There were jaded green forests and jungles that was full of animals and plants alike. There were dry deserts, barren of life, or so you think, but then you travel to ancient ruins full of history and adventures. Yes, it is truly was a wonderful place to live." Bulma said dreamily as she reminisced about her home.

How long had it been since she set foot on Earth? Yes, so much has happened to her in only a short amount of time. But the days and weeks flew by her. How is it she can continue to smile and keep moving forward, when she wanted most to just give up? But then she had many reasons to keep moving forward. She had her new family, she had her Mate, and now she had their child that their love had created. Yes, indeed she had many, many good wonderful reasons to keep moving on. She needn't to look far.

Karara watched and listened intensively to Bulma's description of Earth. It sounded wonderful to her. If only Cooler had not destroyed it, perhaps she could have actually gone and explored the world Miss. Bulma had just described just now. As Bulma came to a close in her story, she noticed the child hung onto her every word. "Do not worry Karara. You'll see it soon enough, I promise." "Really? For real!" Bulma nodded her head yes at the beaming child.

And at that very moment, Vegeta entered the room. Bulma and Karara smiled at his entrance. He came in and captured Bulma's lips with his own as fits of giggles came from the child next to them. "So, I take it you missed me?" Vegeta smirked at his Onna's comment. "Perhaps you shouldn't be working on heavy machinery. You are carrying my Heir and I do not want something to happen to either of you." Vegeta pointed out a bit sternly. Bulma rolled her eyes. Vegeta help up a stony fasage, but his eyes told her all.

"You needn't to worry so much about me. I'm fine, really. Besides, I have a helper with me." Bulma replied as they turned to look at the curious Karara. Vegeta let out a soft smile. "Yes well, I am sure she is a good helper, but if something should happen, I do not want you or her hurt." he said sitting and placing Karara on his lap as he held onto her. Bulma, may not have shown it, but she was indeed shocked. She had never seen Vegeta this affectionate to any child.

"Mr. Geta, I promise, Me and Miss. Bulma will be real careful. So please do not worry." "Oh but lil' one, I must worry. You both are very precious to me." he smiled. This made Bulma's heart melt. Yes, he was truly going to make a good, no, great Father. "All right Mister, what's the real reason for coming in here to bug our work on YOUR GR?" Bulma asked amused. "Funny you asked that Woman. We found the next Dragonball and we need you to stop with your plaything so we can go discuss with the rest of us what we are going to do." Vegeta informed her.

"Well, why didn't you say so!" Bulma cried as she jumped up. Vegeta stared at her amused. "I believed I did." came his reply as he stood up as well as he held the child. "Well lets go. We have no time to waste." Bulma cried as she headed out of the labs to go find Trunks and Venux with Vegeta in toe. They found them in the control room, looking at the Dragon Radar and the planetary data as they tried to pinpoint the exact location of the Dragonball. Upon entering, they both smiled at the trio. "So that's what took you so long. Karara, did you distract Vegeta and Bulma from coming?" Venux smiled amused as she took Karara from Vegeta.

"No, they were kissy kissy face!" Karara replied as she stuck out her tongue and went into fits of giggles. "Now Bulma, not in front of the child." Venux joked. "Yeah Dad, we don't want her getting any ideas that you 2 might actually love each other." Trunks replied amused. Both Bulma and Vegeta were 3 shades of red. "Well, let's get down to business. We believe we found the planet where the Dragonball resides. It's on a small planet called Kimkli in the South Quadrant." Venux informed the group.

Bulma took a seat with Trunks and Venux as Vegeta took his regular spot in the dark corner of the room. "Great! So how far are we from it!" Bulma asked with much interest. "Only about 6 hours from where we are now. But there is a small problem." Trunks answered her question. "Wait, there should be no problem. What do you mean?" Bulma asked worried. "The planet is the coldest in the universe. Even to just enter it's atmosphere with the ship is a great hazard. There is a possibility that it would freeze and we would be stuck there. And it's practically barren of any sign of life except for snow, ice, and beyond freezing temperatures." Venux replied.

Bulma bit her bottom lip. This did pose a problem. "Hmmm, all right. This is what I think we should do. I'm going to go make a barrier to protect the ship from the freezing cold and make suits so whoever goes out to retrieve the Dragonball won't die." Bulma stated as she began to plan on how she would defy each obstacle. "Sounds like a plan. But can you do it within 6 hours?" Venux asked concerned. "With my help, we can do it in 4." Trunks answered.

"Well let's get to it then!" Bulma replied happily as she clapped her hands together. "Wait, who is going to retrieve the damn ball." Vegeta demanded from the shadows. Everyone stopped and realized what he was implying. "I'm gonna do it. I won the Dragon Radar and probably able to slip in the canyon if it is there one." Bulma replied. "I DON'T THINK SO!" came everyone's protest.

"Uh, I don't think so Mom. Last time I checked you were pregnant with Mini-me!" "And I won't let anyone even have the chance in hell to hurt you or my son! I won't!" Vegeta threatened as he came up to her and wrapped his tail around her waist possessively and placed a hand on her belly. "You are carrying my Brat. Don't do anything that will hurt him or you. I don't think I could stand it if I lost you both." Vegeta replied intensively as he gazed into her eyes with his ebony ones.

Bulma smiled and kissed his cheek. "All right, I won't." she agreed. "Venux, I want you as well to stay behind with Karara and watch after her and helped Dad with Mom. I am going to do this alone." Trunks said as he spoke to Venux tenderly. "No Trunks, I won't go, but you are not going alone!" Bulma cried outraged by even the suggestion. "Trunks, I agree with Bulma. It is too dangerous." Venux agreed. "He won't go alone. I'll go with him." Vegeta replied. "Fine, only to make you feel better. Now we have no time to waste. Karara, I want you to help Mommy Venux make dinner while Papa Trunks and Miss. Bulma are going to be working on grown up things, okay?" Trunks asked Karara.

"All right." Karara pouted. But she did as she was told and Vegeta decided to go with Bulma and Trunks as they began to work on the problems at hand.

Later!-

Planet Kimkli!-

They, successfully landed on the barren Iceland of a planet called Kimkli. True to both Trunks' and Bulma's words, they had completed the work in only 4 hours and as well completed the suits. Bulma and Venux helped both their men with their suits and oxygen tanks. "Please be careful and hurry back. I don't want to give birth to my son alone." Bulma replied as she kissed Vegeta passionately. Vegeta smirked as he pulled and put a mask over his head. ("You worry too much Woman.") he thought to her as the suit made him unable to talk. ("Powpow, please don't go! You could get hurt!") came the small plea for Vegeta to reconsider. Vegeta placed a hand on her belly.

("Mini-Brat, you have faith in your old man. I give you and your Mother my word that I will return by nightfall with the Dragonball.") Vegeta spoke telepathically. "You better…" Bulma whispered. Meanwhile with Trunks and Venux, she had not let him go as she hugged onto him. "Do you have to go? Why can't you stay forever?" Venux begged him. "Venux, sweetheart, you know as well as I why I have to go. We need to think of Karara's and Mini-me's future." Trunks pointed out. "I love you…" "I know and I love you more than you'll ever know." Trunks whispered and unexpectedly he leaned down and captured his lips with her own.

"Awww Mommy! Papa! Will you 2 stop playing kissy kissy face with each other! We have to get the other Dragonball!" Karara complained. Venux and Trunks pulled apart and sighed. "Be safe and come back to me." Venux replied. "I promise." ("You ready Dad?") Trunks asked through the bond as he pulled his own mask over his head. ("Lets go.") Vegeta replied as he moved from Bulma. Trunks came and gave her a hug. ("Be good Mini-me. Don't cause Mom too much trouble. You don't want to deal with Dad angry at you. Trust me.") Trunks ordered amused. ("I'll try.") ("Good.") Vegeta replied and with that, they exited the ship.

Outside!-

2 Hours Later!-

("How much further do we need to go Brat?") Vegeta asked as they were flying extremely slow. The nagging snowstorm was terrible. You could barely see your hands in your face. ("According to the Dragon Radar, only a few more mile. I think it's under this ice lake ahead. We are going to blast it out!") came Trunks reply. ("Great, this really is the highlight of my day!") Vegeta seethed mentally at the predicament they were in. He much rather be with his mate instead.

Well after 5 long, excruciating min or so of flying very, very slowly. They had descended from the storming skies and landed on the rapidly blanketed angelically white snow. ("The Dragonball is directly below us.") Trunks informed. The 2 began to power up, but before the first blast could be created, a giant mouth of rows and rows of sharp, pointed teeth, shot out of beneath them and swallowed them whole.
