*Last time*

" Hello Vegeta is that you?" The woman on the other line asked

" Yes mother it's me want did you want that you had to call me for?" Asked Vegeta knowing that the only thing that his mother wanted was for him to visit her and his father.

" Well dear I want you to come over and have dinner with us and bring Bulma with you. I wan to meet her." She told him

" Sure mom why not I'm off tomorrow if you want me to come over." He said

" Ok dear see you tomorrow." Said Mrs. Onji and then hung up.

When Vegeta got off the phone he went back to the kitchen and sat down were he was a couple of minutes ago.

" What did your mom Want Veggie?" Asked Bulma as she brought Vegeta his dinner.

" Stop calling me Veggie woman. She wants us to go to her house and have dinner there tomorrow." He stated then dug in to his dinner.

Chapter 4.

" Wow Vegeta are you serious? Your mom wants us to come to her house for dinner?" She asked all excited to meet Vegeta's parents.

" Yes she wants to meet you and wants to see me." He told her.

" Ok what time are we leaving the house Vegeta?" She asked.

" At nine A.M. so you better be ready." He told her as he took his plate to the sink and returned to the table. After Bulma finished her dinner she washed the dishes and went to the living room to watch some TV and leaving Vegeta to think about the next day.

About after thirty minute Vegeta decided to go to the living room and watch what Bulma was watching. She was watching " A Walk to Remember" and crying when he came in the living room. He was confused why she was crying.

" Woman why are you crying it just a movie?" HE asked

" She is dieing Vegeta. She is leaving to only person that she truly loves to a type of cancer." She stated in an annoyed voice.

After she told him Vegeta decided that he was just going to watch the movie. When the movie ended Vegeta looked next to him to find that Bulma was asleep. Vegeta picked her up and carried her to her room to sleep, but then he remembered what happened last night and decided that she could sleep one more night in his bed. After he laid her down he got in bed and fell asleep.

~*~ Morning~*~

When Bulma woke up she turned around and saw that Vegeta was next to her holding her in a protective way. She also saw that she wasn't in her room but in Vegeta's. That was when she noticed that Vegeta's grip was really tight and couldn't move or wiggle out of his arms to leave the room. When she was wiggle to get out of his arms she noticed that Vegeta was starting to wake up so she said:

" Vegeta wake up we have to go to your parents house." She said as she nudged him. That was when he stirred so more and decides to wake up.

(I skipped that getting dressed part and the whole drive to the house ok I'm lazy hehe. Now the part were they get to Veggies parents house. ^_^ don't hate me please.)

" Ok woman be nice and please I beg you don't answer any of my mothers questions." He told her as they went to front door and knocked. That was when the door opened and a woman answered it. She was dressed in a nice blouse and a nice skirt.

" Oh Vegeta you came. Oh my you must be Bulma Briefs. Nice to meet you dear I'm Vegeta's mom Betty Onji. " She told Bulma as she shook her hand. ( I don't know what name to call Mrs. Onji)

" Come in I'm look for your father Vegeta. Have a seat while I look for him." She said and then went off to find her husband.

" I like your mom Veggie she sounds nice." She stated. After saying that Mr. Onji came in with his wife next to him.

" Vegeta how good to see you. Whose the young lady next to you son?" Mr. Onji asked his son. (Oh I decided to make Veggies dad nice) Mr. Onji was a retired police officer that had been warried (did I spell that right?) for 20 years to his beloved wife

" Father this is Bulma Briefs the daughter of the famous Doctor Briefs." She stated.

" Oh my you're the daughter of the famous man?" Mrs. Onji asked

" Yes, but I haven't seen my father since I was ten." She said

"Oh sorry dear." Betty said and hugged her.

" Thank you. I'm lucky that Vegeta decided to help me after what happened to me." That was when Bulma noticed that she said something that she really didn't want to say.

" What to you mean dear?" Betty asked Bulma. Bulma looked at Vegeta. That was when Vegeta decided that his mother and father should know about Bulma.

" Mother, father Bulma was raped and abused by her stepfather. When I came to the station. She asked me if I knew of a place that she could stay at. That was when I decided that she could stay at my house." He said and then noticed that Bulma was crying. He went over and hugged her.

" Thanks Vegeta." Bulma whispered to him.

" Sorry to hear that Bulma but I promise you that Vegeta won't let that man lay a hand on you." Said Mr. Onji to the young woman that was embraced by Vegeta.
