(A/N: This is four years later so yes obviously Bulma has had her baby. And no Yamcha hasn't been wished back yet. He will be soon though. I mean Bulma is pretty busy right now. I am so sorry to all my fans, sorry that I have skipped loads. But I really wanted to get to this chappie. Now that I'm here I will try not to skip unless I really really really have to.
I'd just like to give a big shout out to Tsume-Hieiluver who has been reviewing my whole story which means she/he must be reading it. (sozzy about da he/she tihng but I don't know L) And Zicke who has been reviewing through out the story. And Vegeta's first fan who's looking forward to this chappie as much as I am because this is when Yamcha…well you'll find out! And don't worry it will be a long one J. And Emstar and Mazzi. They are my very bestest mates. Luv ya! Please read their work. After you've read mine of course! Ok well, with all that said lets carry on with the story! Oj and every name I've just mentioned, I dedicate this chappie to all you guys!)
Bulma was sitting on the sofa watching TV. She could hear crashes coming from the GR as Vegeta broke yet more training bots. Bulma sighed as she realised she would be the one to fix them.
Bulma have given birth three years ago. To a handsome young boy named Trunks. He had purple hair and a fighting instinct just like his father.
Bulma was waiting for Goku to return to CC with the dragon balls/ It had been just over four years since Yamcha had died, and now they were finally going to wish him back. Bulma was excited, but also nervous at how he would react at her and Vegeta being together. Everyone was going to wish him back at CC, while Bulma would stay at her house. And then when he had caught up with everyone, Goku would show him to her house and they would finally see each other again.
Suddenly the sky went dark. Bulma rushed over to the window. She could see Shenron in the distance. She smiled. The phone rung and she picked it up.
"Hello? Bulma Briefs speaking."
"Hey Bulma. It's Goku."
"What's going on Goku? I can see Shenron."
"Yeah. We're just about to wish him back."
(A/N: This is the first time Yamcha has died in my story so he can be brought back with the earth dragon balls. So please just disregard what I said in earlier chappies when he died Sozzie again.)
"Cool. Ok you'll bring him over soon won't you?"
"Yeah course. I'll be about quarter of an hour ok?"
"Ok. Thanks Goku."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Bulma hung up the phone and stared at Shenron.
"Mum?"
Bulma turned round to see her son looking at her.
"Yeah?"
"What's wrong with the sky? It's dark."
"They've summoned Shenron over at your grandparents house. Look."
Bulma picked him up and pointed to Shenron through the window.
"Oh cool! That's the dragon you can wish with isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"What are they going to wish for?"
"They're going to wish Yamcha back."
"Yamcha? Oh. Why do you want to wish that guy back? Dad say's he's an arse."
"Well, dad shouldn't be reaching you language like that. I better have a chat with that father of yours."
Trunks jumped out of her arms and ran up to his room to play. Bulma walked outside to the GR. Vegeta was standing outside looking at the sky.
"Hey Vegeta."
"What are they wishing for woman?"
Bulma hesitated.
"I don't know. I came to see if you knew."
If I tell him, he'll get jealous and probably beat Yamcha up.
Vegeta looked at her questioningly.
"What? Don't you believe me?"
"Well, why aren't you over there?"
"Because…"
"Because what?"
"Because I don't want to see my dad."
Vegeta smirked.
"By the way Vegeta, how many training bots do I have to fix tonight?"
"Well so far only…all of them."
Bulma sighed and went back inside. She got herself a cup of coffee, sat down at the table and waited.
Ten minutes later the sky cleared up. Bulma quickly ran a brush through her hair just before the doorbell rang. She jumped up and ran to answer it. Yamcha smiled at her.
"Hey Bulma."
"Yamcha!"
Bulma jumped up and hugged him tightly.
"Nice to see you too babe. You've changed a lot."
Bulma giggled then turned serious.
"Erm…Yamcha I would feel more comfortable if you didn't call me babe."
"Why not?"
Yamcha pouted at her.
"Because I…"
Bulma got cut off by Trunks running down the stairs called for her.
"Mum?"
"What is it Trunks?"
"Where's dad? He said he would play with me at two o'clock and it is two o'clock."
"I don't know sweety. Last time I saw him he was outside."
"Oh ok. DAD!"
Vegeta was in the kitchen getting a drink when his son called out for him. He looked up at the clock and sighed.
"I'm in here."
Trunks smiled and ran into the kitchen. Yamcha stared at Bulma. She looked at him sadly.
"You…you've had a baby? With…that…that…monkey?"
Bulma nodded.
"And that monkey as you call him happens to be my……husband."
"You're what!"
"What did you expect Yamcha? You've been gone four years."
"Yeah but I never expected this to happen.
"I'm sorry Yamcha."
Vegeta chose this moment to walk out of the kitchen. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw who was at the door.
"What's he doing here?"
Yamcha glared at him angrily.
"How dare you! You bastard! How dare you get my girlfriend pregnant!"
Vegeta walked towards him, stood beside Bulma and slid his arm round her waist. Yamcha's scowl grew.
"Last time I checked, she wasn't your girlfriend. She was my wife."
Bulma could see a fight was going to start, so could Trunks.
"Go on dad! Get him! Punch his nose in!"
Bulma turned round and stared at him angrily.
"Go to your room Trunks!"
"But mum!"
Vegeta spoke but didn't take his eyes off Yamcha.
"Do as your mum says Trunks."
"Oh…alright."
Trunks sulkily went upstairs to his room. Bulma turned back to Yamcha.
"I'm sorry Yamcha. You couldn't have expected me to stay single for four years while you were gone."
"Well, no. But I didn't think it would get this serious. Bulma I still love you."
Vegeta took his arm away from Bulma and took hold of the door.
"Good bye."
Vegeta slammed the door in Yamcha's face and smirked. Bulma turned round and glared at Vegeta.
"What the fuck was that for Vegeta?"
"What? I thought you wanted him to go away."
"I wanted to talk to him first!"
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to make it clear to him that I would never go back to him."
"I think I made that pretty clear."
Meanwhile
outside
That Vegeta thinks he's so
though? Well, we'll see who gets the last laugh. I know exactly
what I'm going to do.
Yamcha walked away smirking to himself.
Inside
"Mum? Dad? Are you fighting?"
Bulma and Vegeta looked at their son standing in the door way.
"No. We're just having a chat."
"Yes we are fighting. Now get lost child!"
"Vegeta!"
"What?"
"Don't speak to your son like that! God sometimes you can be such a…"
"Better watch what you saw woman, we have a small child in the premises!"
Bulma growled at Vegeta and walked towards Trunks.
"Come on sweety. Daddy's just being stupid. Lets get you some lunch."
Next day
"Vegeta wake up and get your lazy arse down here. I've got a bone to pick with you!"
Vegeta groaned in his sleep.
What's wrong with her now? God. Something's always wrong with that woman.
Vegeta got out of bed and walked downstairs in his pyjamas trousers. He lazily walked into the kitchen to see Bulma working on a training bot.
"What's wrong now woman?"
"Two things."
"Go ahead."
Vegeta walked over to her and sat down next to her.
"Ok first of all. I thought I asked you to get a babysitter for tonight? You do remember what today is don't you?"
"Yes. Of course I do. It's our anniversary."
Bulma smiled.
"Well at least you remembered. Did you get a babysitter Vegeta?"
"Erm…well I rung round and I couldn't get anyone."
"Who did you ring?"
"Erm… Chi chi, 18, your parents…oh and Piccolo."
"And all of them were busy?"
"Yeh."
"Well I just rung Chi chi and she said you hadn't rung her."
"Well I asked Goku to ask her."
"Ok fine. Well Chi chi has agreed to baby-sit for us tonight thankfully. Second, why did I have Trunks sobbing in my arms earlier because you called him a brat last night?"
"Well he was pestering me while I was in the GR."
"He said you said 'Get lost brat go bother your mum."
"Yeah. That's what I said."
"God Vegeta! What goes on in that head of yours! He's a three year old boy! And your son! How do you think being called a brat is going to make him feel? All he wanted to do was train with you! I thought you'd be glad he wanted to train!"
"Stop lecturing me woman. He's going to have to learn to deal with what whatever life throws at him if he's going to be a tough fighter. Like his father."
"Well his tough fighter of a father is going to have to get his own breakfast this morning because I'm stuck fixing the training bots you destroyed."
"But…I…um…I…"
Bulma smiled.
"You may be one of the worlds strongest fighters, but you can't even get your own breakfast. Guess I'll have to get it for you. That just means these bots won't be fixed for a while longer. But I'm sure that doesn't bother you does it?"
Vegeta started to speak but cut him off.
"Of course it doesn't. Now if you'll excuse I've got three breakfasts to prepare."
Bulma smiled sweetly at Vegeta and planted a small kiss on his cheek before getting up to start the breakfasts.
That evening
"Wow Vegeta. You look great in that tux."
Vegeta walked out of the bathroom in a smart black tuxedo. Bulma was sitting at her dressing table putting on her lip gloss when Vegeta walked out. She was wearing a long, black, satin dress with spaghetti straps which reached the ground. There was a slit up one side of the dress, which reached from around her thigh to the ground. She had her hair loose with curls at the bottom. She was wearing her only pair of black stilettos.
Knock. Knock.
"Oh. That'll be Chi chi. Go and let her in will you Vegeta?"
"Why should I? You do it."
Bulma growled.
"Fine."
As she was walking out she muttered under her breath.
"Lazy arse."
"Should watch what you say woman. I can hear you, you know."
Bulma stalked down the stairs and opened the front door. Chi chi came barging in like it was her own house.
"Erm…hi Chi."
"Wow! Bulma you look fantastic! That dress is fantastic! It's really great for your figure."
"I'll take that as a compliment. Now look we really have to be going. Instructions are on the kitchen table, numbers included. Trunks is in the lounge watching TV. He'll need dinner around eightish and in bed by nine. Got that?"
"Yeh yeh I got it. You forget, I have got a two year old son of my own, and I have had Gohan. So I know how to do all this."
(A/N: Yes, Goten has been born."
"Yeh right Chi chi. Vegeta! Get down here now! It's time to go!"
Vegeta walked down the stairs.
"God woman. Could you shout any louder?"
"Probably."
"Hi Vegeta."
Chi chi smiled innocently. Vegeta grunted.
"Let's go woman."
"Finally. Thanks a lot for baby sitting Chi chi. We'll be back late so feel free to get the sofa bed out."
"Got it. Ok see you later. Have a nice time you two. Bye"
Chi chi waved them off as they hoped into Vegeta's Mercedes and the backed down the drive.
1:00 the next morning
"Shhh. Vegeta be quiet. We don't wanna wake Trunks and Chi chi."
They had just got back from a wonderful evening out a romantic restaurant. They had forgotten all about arguments and had just focused on each other. They were both in very good moods. They were walking hand in hand up the drive. Bulma had her head rested on Vegeta's shoulder.
"Hey, woman look!"
"What?"
"The door is opened."
"What the hell?"
Bulma ran into the house. Vegeta followed close behind.
"Trunks! Chi chi! Where are you guys! Vegeta? Can you sense them! Where are they?"
"I can't sense Trunks near here. But Chi chi is around here some where."
"Where!"
"I think……."
"Here."
Bulma and Vegeta's heads jerked up as they saw Chi chi walking unstably towards them from the kitchen. Bulma ran towards her."
"Chi chi? Oh my god are you ok?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"Where's Trunks?"
"I don't know. Somehow this guy got in the house, I saw him and got up ready to fight and stuff but he knocked me out, when I woke up I heard you calling out……"
"No…"
Bulma was whispering now. She fell to her knees onto the floor and broke down in tears. Vegeta walked up to Chi chi.
"I think it's time you started home."
"Got it. Take care of her Vegeta."
Vegeta nodded. Chi chi walked out quickly and walked towards the bus stop. Vegeta knelt down next to Bulma and put his arm round her shoulder. Bulma cuddled up to him in his arms and cried.
"What are we going to do Vegeta? He's our son! He's only three years old!"
"We'll find him Bulma. Don't worry. I can sense him. He's fine."
Bulma lifted her eyes. She had stopped crying.
"You're sure he's ok?"
"Yes. He's fine."
"Well we've got to get him! Now!"
"Ok ok. But first I think we should change."
"Ok. But we've gotta hurry!"
Vegeta and Bulma hurried upstairs and got changed. Vegeta put on a pair of old tatty jeans and a capsule corp. tee and some old trainers. Bulma pulled on a black tracksuit and some trainers.
"Are you sure you want to come? This could get nasty."
"I'm coming Vegeta. Whether you like it or not."
"Ok ok. Fine. Lets go."
Vegeta picked Bulma up in his arms and flew off in the direction of Trunks's energy.
1:45
Vegeta and Bulma had just landed outside an old abandoned apartment.
"Bulma I think you should stay out here."
"No!"
"Fine."
Vegeta took Bulma in his arms and walked towards the apartment. He quickly blew the door down and barged in.
"Give us our son!"
A laugh came from the other side of the room where Trunks was sitting tied down and gagged. Bulma got out of Vegeta's grasp and ran towards her son, only to be thrown back by a ki blast from the kidnapper. He was sitting next to Trunks dressed in black with a black mask covering his face. Vegeta scowled at the man,
"Yamcha."
Bulma lifted her head off the ground where she was lying from the blast. Vegeta walked over to her and held her up in his arms.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Did you just say that was Yamcha?"
"Yes. It's definitely him."
"But…it can't be!"
The man in black took of his mask and finally Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks saw Yamcha's face smiling at them.
"Yeah. It's me."
Bulma stood up in Vegeta's arm. Scared and crying. Vegeta growled at him.
"Give back our son!"
"What do I get if I give him back?"
"Well I wont pound you into dust."
"Watch it Vegeta. Those railings that Trunks is tied up are electric. And with just a push of a button I can send eighty volts of electricity through his body."
Bulma walked slowly towards Yamcha.
"What do you want?"
"You."
"Yamcha…I thought we made this clear. Vegeta is my husband. I don't love you anymore."
"Well Trunks stays with me then."
Yamcha pulled a small remote from his pocket and pressed the red button on it. The electric railings lit up and Trunks yelled in agony. Well, a muffled yell as he was gagged. Bulma ran towards Yamcha and started hitting him with all the strength she had.
"Leave him alone!"
Yamcha grabbed Bulma's wrists in his hands and pulled her against him.
"Hmmm. Now this is much better."
"Let me go."
"I don't think so."
Vegeta lunged forward and punched Yamcha in the face. He smirked as he heard the bones in his nose crack. Blood trickled down his face as he was knocked to the floor. Vegeta wrapped his arms round Bulma. She was shaking.
"Get your sleazy, no good hands off my wife."
Yamcha picked himself up from the floor and wiped the blood from his face.
"I'm a Z fighter Vegeta. A broken nose is nothing to me."
He picked up the remote again and pressed the button. The electric railings lit up and again and Trunks squirmed in pain. His eyes closed and his body fell limp. Vegeta turned towards Yamcha angrily but Bulma didn't take her eyes off her son.
"You bastard. Leave our son alone. He's got nothing to do with this."
"All of this can be avoided Vegeta. Just hand Bulma over to me."
"Never."
Vegeta flew forward and kneed Yamcha in the stomach. Yamcha keeled over and dropped the remote. Vegeta stamped on it and it broke, sending bits of plastic flying across the floor.
"No!"
"Now you've got nothing to use against us. What are you going to do now? Hmmm?"
Vegeta flew above Yamcha and slammed his fists onto his back. Yamcha cried out in pain. Yamcha lay on the floor. Almost lifeless. Vegeta was about to deliver the final blow when Bulma placed her hand on his arm. Vegeta looked at her and she shook her head.
"Leave him. He's learnt his lesson. He wont bother us again."
Vegeta scowled and lowered his power and stood on the floor. Bulma walked slowly towards Trunks. She undid the rope tying him to the railings and he fell into her arms. Bulma held him close to her. Vegeta walked over and placed a hand on Bulma's shoulder.
"We should be getting home. He needs his rest."
"You mean he's…alive?"
"'Course he is. He is the son of the prince of Saiyens."
Bulma didn't smile she just stared at Trunks's expressionless face. Vegeta picked Bulma up in his arms and flew her home while she held Trunks to her.
When they got home Bulma put Trunks in his bed and joined Vegeta in the lounge. It was 3:30 in the morning and neither of them had had any sleep. Bulma cuddled up in Vegeta's arms.
"Will he be ok?"
"He'll be fine. He's stronger than you think."
"Good. I can't believe Yamcha did that."
"I knew from the minute I saw him that you shouldn't have wished him back."
"I just thought…I was so happy to see him again."
"He's still not dead you know. Why didn't you let me finish him off?"
"Because…I don't want him dead. And he knows what you'll do to him if he tries anything like that again."
"But why don't you want him dead?"
"I don't know."
"Yo women are so hard to figure out."
"Mmmm."
Bulma started to fall asleep. Vegeta smiled and closed his eyes.
12:00
the same day
Bulma slowly opened her eyes. She sat up and saw
Vegeta lying next to her on the sofa. She smiled. Suddenly she
remember what had happened the day before. She got up an rushed to
Trunks's bedroom. She opened the door slowly. Trunks was still
lying his bed. Bulma walked towards him and knelt down next to his
bed. She shook him gently.
"Trunks?"
Trunks stirred and Bulma smiled.
"Trunks hunny it's mum."
Trunks slowly opened his eyes. Bulma grinned madly. Trunks sat up and rubbed his head. He looked at his mum smiling at him.
"Mum? Where am I? What happened?"
"You're at home sweety. Don't you remember anything that happened?"
"Erm…Oh yeh! It was that Yamcha creep. He snuck into the house. I was in bed but I could hear something going on downstairs. So I went down and I saw this guy standing over Chi chi who was lying on the floor. Then he grabbed me and flew off with me. Then he tied me up and I tried to get free and then you and dad showed up. What happened to him?"
"Your dad saved you. Don't worry. Yamcha wont be bothering us again for a long time. But enough about that, how do you feel?"
"I hurt. My body aches. And I'm hungry."
"Oh my poor Trunks. You just stay in bed. You can have breakfast up here today. You've been through a lot. Just rest, the aches should wear off in a day or two."
Bulma stood up and gave Trunks a kiss on the cheek before going back downstairs. She went back in the lounge and nudged Vegeta. He woke up immediately.
"What's wrong woman?"
"Trunks is awake."
"Really? That was quick."
"I know. I'm just getting him breakfast in bed. What would you like?"
"Erm…a sandwich?"
"Ok. You can eat in the kitchen though."
Vegeta growled while Bulma walked away.
Three
days later. 11:00am
"Come on dad please? Train with me!"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Because I am an experienced fighter and I don't want you getting in my way!"
Trunks pouted and did the only thing he knew how to get Vegeta to train with him.
"MUM!"
Bulma walked into the kitchen carrying a basket of dirty laundry.
"What is it Trunks?"
"Daddy wont train with me."
Vegeta scowled at his son.
"Awww. Come on Vegeta. You want him to grow up to be big and strong like you are don't you? Well, you've got to train with him!"
"But!"
"No buts Vegeta!"
Bulma turned round and glared at him.
"Do it!"
Vegeta growled under his breath but took Trunks outside and trained with him anyway.
7:00
"You idiot! What the hell were you thinking!"
"I was thinking that the bloody thing was getting in my way!"
Bulma stared at the remains of her barbecue which Vegeta had just destroyed.
"That cost loads of money Vegeta! You can't just go around blowing stuff up!"
"You'd be surprised what I can do."
"God you are being such an arse lately Vegeta!"
"Mum? Dad? What's going on?"
The two had been so involved in their argument that their hadn't noticed their purple haired son standing behind them.
"Get lost brat! Can't you see this is a bad time!"
"Vegeta!"
Trunks stared at his dad and started to cry.
"And you can stop that crying too!"
"But you called me a brat."
"And I'll do it again if you don't leave now."
"Mummy!"
"Vegeta leave him alone!"
Vegeta lost it there and then. In a yell of rage he powered up to super Saiyen and smacked Trunks in the face sending him flying. He landed on his back on the grass. He moved in for another hit but Bulma ran in front of him.
"Vegeta! Stop it! He's your son! I can't believe you just hit him! He's just a boy!"
"Out of my way woman. He needs to be taught a lesson."
Trunks started to wriggle backwards away from Vegeta. Bulma still didn't move.
"I said move woman!"
Vegeta reached out and back handed Bulma across her face. She was thrown across the lawn. Vegeta looked shocked as soon as he had done it. He rushed over to her and knelt down beside her. Bulma lifted herself up on his arms and ran towards Trunks. He stared at his mum in shock. Bulma picked him up in her arms and ran into the house. She rushed into Trunk's bedroom and started to pack up his stuff into a suitcase. Then she went in her room and did the same. Vegeta was waiting at the bottom of the stairs and Bulma walked down with Trunks and the suitcases.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to stay with my parents. And I'm taking Trunks with me."
"Why?"
"Because I don't feel safe here. When you decide to start acting like a proper father and a proper husband then I'll think about moving back in. Until then…"
"But you can't leave."
"Watch me."
Bulma opened the front door and threw a capsule on the ground. A red BMW appeared in a puff of yellow smoke. She stuff the suitcases in the back and buckled Trunks up in the back. Tears were streaming down her face as she back out of the drive. Vegeta stared at her as she drove off. He turned around and slammed the front door hard.
7:30
Bunny opened the door and Bulma fell into her arms in tears. Bunny stumbled backwards.
"Bulma? Bulma speak to me. What's wrong?"
"It's Vegeta."
Bulma looked up at her mum and Bunny gasped as she noticed the red hand print on Bulma's face.
"He didn't!"
Bulma nodded slowly. Bunny put her arm round Bulma's back and helped her into the lounge. Dr.Briefs jumped up from the sofa and ran to her.
"Let me help."
He helped Bunny get Bulma to the sofa. They lay her down on the sofa and sat next to her. Bunny got some tissues and handed them to Bulma.
"Mum, Trunks is outside in the car."
Ok hunny. I'll go and get him."
Bunny got up and walked to Bulma's car. Trunks was sitting in the back. She opened the door and got Trunks out. Trunks hugged his grandma tightly.
"Shhh. It's ok Trunks. Your mum is just a little upset right now. How are you doing?"
"I don't know. Mummy and daddy have been arguing a lot lately. I just went downstairs to see what they were arguing about and daddy called be a brat and he hit me and then mummy tried to stop him and he hit her and…"
Trunks burst into tears. Bunny was shocked.
"He hit you as well?"
Trunks nodded.
"Ok hunny. Let's get you inside."
Dr.Briefs was sitting next to Bulma on the sofa. He handed her a tissue and she blew her nose.
"Come on sweety. Stop crying. I know it's hard. But you have to be strong."
Bulma looked at her dad. Bunny carried Trunks into the lounge. He jumped out of her arms and ran to Bulma. She picked him up and held him close to her. He cried into her jumper.
"It's ok hunny. Shhh. It's ok."
Dr.Briefs stood up and went into the kitchen to make some coffee. Bunny sat down in the arm chair next to the sofa.
"So, how long are you planning on staying here?"
"How did you know I was going to stay?"
"A mother always knows. I had a clue though. Your suitcases were in your car."
"I don't know. Should I leave? Or should I go back and talk it out with him? I just don't know."
"Vegeta's a strong guy. He'll take care of himself. I think the worst thing you could do right now would be to go and see him. He'll be feeling angry, at himself, at you and Trunks. He'll be feeling defeated. If you go back he wont know what to do. He'll probably talk to Goku or something. He'll be fine, but as for you I think we need to get you sorted out as soon as possible. Your old room is still here. We haven't changed it in anyway. I'll unpack your clothes if you want? Trunks can stay in your room with you."
"Thanks mum. Right now I just want to be with Trunks."
She looked down at the little boy cuddled up in her arms. He had stopped crying but was still hugging her tight.
"I just feel so…betrayed. I mean, I know he gets angry. A lot. But I never thought he would hit me."
"Vegeta is unpredictable hunny. He's a risk. And you took that risk when you moved in with him. But you mustn't forget. No matter what he does, he does still love you. I mean, he married you. And anybody else if he got angry at them, he would destroy them."
"I guess so. But, that doesn't really help much. I mean, I don't know if I can trust him anymore. I don't know if I can live with him again."
"You'll pull through it hunny. You can stay here as long as you like. I'm sure it will all work out in the end."
Dr.Briefs walked back in with the coffees. He gave one to Bulma, one to Bunny and kept one for himself. He sat down on the other arm chair.
"So, Bulma, what are you planning on doing?"
"Mum said I could stay here for as long I wanted. Until everything sorted and I feel safe."
"Of course you can hunny. It will be lovely to have you back with us."
12:00
Bulma and Bunny were at the kitchen table. Trunks was in bed and Dr.Briefs was down in the lab.
"So hunny. When did you hit you?"
"Well I was arguing with him because he blew up the barbecue. And then Trunks came outside and Vegeta called him a brat so I got angry with him, Trunks started crying. And Vegeta told him to stop. Then he just went crazy and punched Trunks. Then he went in to hit him again and I tried to stop him and he hit me…then I got our bags and came here. He didn't even try to stop me leaving."
"Oh sweetheart. This must be horrible for you. I mean he has such mood swings! Three days ago he was saving you and Trunks from Yamcha and being lovely with you, and now…well he's being a jerk!"
Bulma and Bunny looked over as they heard someone knock on the kitchen door. Trunks was standing in the doorway with a sad look on his face. Bulma held out her arms to him."
"Come here hunny."
Trunks ran into his mums arms. Bulma held him tightly.
"What's wrong hunny?"
"I can't sleep."
"Why not? What are you thinking about?"
"Daddy. Every time I start to doze off, I see him in my head, coming to get me."
Bulma looked over at her mum close to tears. Bunny walked over and knelt down beside her.
"Now Trunks, you know he's not going to get you right?"
Trunks nodded.
"He was just angry tonight. Your mum is just a bit scared at the moment. That's why she's come here. And she didn't want to leave you with him because she didn't think that he would take very good care of you. You don't have to be scared Trunks. I know it's hard for you. Vegeta can be a very scary person. Remember, he used to live here. It doesn't matter tonight though, it's been an awful day for you. Why don't you go upstairs and play with your toys? Your mum will be up to sleep soon."
"Ok grandma."
Trunks jumped out of Bulma's arms and ran up the stairs.
Bunny stood up and offered Bulma her hand.
"I think you should get to bed hunny."
Bulma nodded and stood up. Bunny hugged her tightly.
"I'll see you in the morning ok?"
"Ok. Thanks mum."
Bulma walked upstairs and into her bedroom. Trunks was standing by the window looking out into the dark. Bulma walked over to him and wrapped her arms round him tightly.
"Come on Trunks. Lets get you to bed little man."
Trunks turned round in Bulma's arms and put his arms round her neck. She carried him over to her bed.
"Do you want to sleep with mummy tonight or in your bed?"
"With you."
Bulma placed Trunks down on her bed and pulled the covers up to his chin. She leant down and kissed him on the cheek. Then she walked into her bathroom to get changed. When she got out, Trunks had already fallen asleep. Bulma climbed into bed beside him and hugged him close to her. Bulma fell asleep quickly.
