Chapter 5: A ghost from the future
Pairings: G/V
Disclaimer: I don't own them
Warning: This is about m/m relationships. If you have a problem with that then I suggest that you go elsewhere.
Notes: Gomen for taking such a long time to update. I've been busy. If any of you have been reading 'How do I comfort thee?' then you know. I hope this chapter will tie all of you over until after I give birth. I've wrote enough chapters out for this and 'Conquered' so the updates won't be far, wide and in between.
Thank you everyone for being so patient and for the fabulous reviews. Enough of my endless chatter, on with the story! Enjoy ^_~
+++++++++++++++++++
Three weeks had past and Goku was now four and ½ months pregnant, which would have had been okay but his morning sickness kept him in bed all day. Vegeta had managed to get him back at Capsule Corp. where it would easier to take care of him.
The prince had rearranged his room to accommodate his mate. The bed was now closer to the bathroom. The royal got tired of sleeping on the floor, which was killing his back, so if it was hurting him than it was definitely hurting Goku.
The entire time the larger male has not once complained about not feeling well and that was a true sign of a strong Saiyan mate.
Today was also Trunks' graduation. Normally, the short Saiyan would have told his son to kiss off because he had no desire whatsoever to attend a human event but considering all that has happened, he may as well go.
Vegeta was in the gravity room training since the stupid ceremony was until later in the afternoon. Chi-Chi was in the kitchen making lunch for everyone, while Trunks and Goten was off doing Kami knows what, and Goku was upstairs sleeping.
Several pairs of boots could be heard walking through the main room of the compound. Unfortunately, no one was in the family room to greet them.
"Are you sue that this is the right place boy?!" The smaller male of the group barked.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Said boy turned his head in confusion as a loose lavender pony tail came about to rest on his shoulder.
"Of course this is the right place. See look there" The female said while pointing to the fireplace mantel.
On the decorated shelf were a row of pictures of Bulma and Vegeta, Bulma and Goku, Bulma and Yamcha, Bulma and the entire Z gang. There were a few other family snap shots as well, but one picture caught their interest.
It was of Trunks and Goten smiling. Trunks was hugging Goten from behind with their hands intertwined, an intimate gesture to say the least.
"Oh, my" The female whispered. "That didn't happen, did it?"
The others were so caught up in looking at the pictures they fail to notice the memorial frame dedicated to Dr. Briefs and his daughter Bulma.
Vegeta stopped training when he felt a familiar ki. In fact, he felt a few coming from inside the house. He was thankful that he didn't destroy his training outfit or else he would be greeting visitors in his birthday suit, not that he would care because he didn't.
Chi-Chi just turned the corner into the family room to fold some clothes when---
"AACKK! OMG! Goku?! What are you doing out of bed?! Vegeta, I thought that you would have had better sense than to let him be up!" The amazon chastised not really taking in the full picture.
"WOMAN! WHAT ARE YOU YELLING ABOUT?! KAKAROTT IS PERFECTLY FINE!"
The female in the group remained silent trying to keep from laughing out loud at the scene between her husband, and Chi-Chi with Goku in the middle. While the 'battle' waged on another figure appeared.
"I know that there's a logical explanation for this?" Then dark eyes settled on the female. "Bul-ma?" He whispered.
Vegeta surveyed the room. An older version his mate, his son, and his self stood in the family room, but most of all an older version his deceased wife was there too. Mirai Trunks was back and he brought company.
"Let him go harpy" Vegeta ordered.
"Nani?" Chi-Chi answered.
"I said let him go. That's not Kakarott"
Chi-Chi finally got a hold of herself. There were 2 Vegeta's, 1 Goku, Trunks and Bulma. Bulma? Chi-Chi hit the floor at a dead faint before any one could catch her.
Bulma walked up to the younger version of her husband. "Vegeta, where's Bulma and Goku? I'd promised them a visit, so here I am"
"Kakarott's upstairs resting." Vegeta paused. What he was about to tell her and the others was going to hurt.
(A/N: from this point forward Mirai Vegeta is Vejita, Mirai Trunks is Mirai, and Mirai Goku is Gokuu. I am not going to confuse myself or my readers ^_~)
"I think that you all better have a seat" He said the nicest tone ever.
Bulma immediately took a chair followed by Gokuu. Mirai and Vejita remained standing.
"What the Hell is going?" Vejita demanded.
Vegeta steeled his nerves. "Bulma's dead"
M. Bulma gasped. "NO!"
"You're joking, ne?" Mirai said as tears clouded his vision.
"How?" Gokuu asked. He should have known something was wrong when Vegeta clinched his jaws when they asked about the genius.
"She and the old man were in the lab working when something cause a huge explosion"
"You mean Grandpa was in there too?" Mirai choked out. It was bad enough to hear about his young mother dying but his grandfather too. Vegeta nodded his head.
Bulma was in shock. Her past self was dead. What was she thinking? The future genius had to get a hold of herself the others couldn't see her like this.
"Vegeta, where's Trunks and Goten?" She asked wiping her tears.
"Who knows. The brats are probably at the mall picking out engagements rings" He answered.
Bulma and Trunks were surprised by the comment. Mirai couldn't believe that his young self was going out with his childhood friend but then again in his time line Chi-Chi never had any more children.
Right after Gokuu died, she died a year after him from a broken heart. It was the same thing with his mom. Bulma and Vejita never tried to have any more kids. Heck, he wasn't even sure if they were still sleeping in the same room. His attention was turned back to the female on the floor.
Chi-Chi was finally coming around. Mirai helped her to the sofa. She looked at him and the others. "So, it wasn't a dream"
The four Saiyans snapped their heads to the door. "Geta, I thought that I felt---"was all Goku got out.
"Kakarott, what are you doing out of bed?" Vegeta growled.
"Hey, Goku" Mirai greeted.
"Trunks? Wow, you've grown since the last time that you were here. Is that Bulma? And I see that you've brought our future selves as well" Goku beamed not shocked at all about seeing Bulma.
The older royal walked up to Goku and studied him for a moment. Vejita's black eyes went directly the other ouji's. He didn't say a word. He would wait until he caught his past self alone to question him. He smelt Vegeta's scent all over the larger male.
Gokuu made his self at home not really noticing what was going on around him as he made his way to the kitchen with Chi-Chi and Mirai close behind. Vejita decided to make his exit as well and went straight to the gravity room leaving Goku, Vegeta, and Bulma alone to talk.
"So, what have you two been up to?" Bulma asked.
Vegeta said nothing and stood off to one side of the room and folded his arms in their customary position. He just listened to his mate and friend chat.
"Well, not a whole lot since Bulma died" Goku replied.
"I'm sorry" She got finally got a good look at the brawny Saiyan. "Goku, are you feeling alright? You don't look so good" She put her hand to his forehead.
"I haven't been feeling well lately"
"Well, if it's okay with you, I'll be glad to check you over to make sure that you don't have a virus" Bulma said. She turned when she heard the small Saiyan chuckle. "And what's so funny? Huh?"
"We can assure you that Kakarott doesn't have a virus"
"How do you know? When was the last time either of you had a check-up?"
"Bulma, I'm pregnant" Goku interjected but she wasn't listening.
"Well, that's just as worse. I might be contiguous considering that you're both aliens."
Vegeta just busted-up laughing when she said that.
"What???" Bulma was getting mad. Vegeta was laughing at her expense.
"Bulma, I'm pregnant" Goku repeated, this time gaining her full attention.
"Pregnant? But how?"
"Well, I have something called the 'R'-gene that allows me to have kids" Goku explained.
"Wouldn't you need a sperm donor?" She didn't think of the other possibility.
"Heck no. What would I need a donor for when I have Vegeta" The ouji fell over when his mate said that.
/Vegeta??? Well, that doesn't make any sense/ Bulma thought as she scratched her head.
"How could Vegeta inject sperm into you unless you're both---"
Oh, Kami! She covered her eyes, IMAGE.
"When? How?" She didn't know what question she wanted answered first.
"It happened a few months ago and I'm pretty sure you know the how part" Goku said casting his famous smile at her.
She turned sky blue eyes to the ouji. "Vegeta you were still married to me? I mean Bulma, right?"
"Hai, but our relationship was over years ago." Vegeta answered. He explained about the affair and how it led up to him claiming Goku. He also explained about how guilty Bulma felt afterwards, which had led up to her death.
It didn't take long for the all the excitement to catch-up to Goku. He needed to go back to bed.
"Geta, I'm tired. I going back upstairs" The larger Saiyan said quietly leaving.
Now, it was just the prince and the heiress.
"You're still married to him?"
"Hai, but we've been fighting a little bit more"
Vegeta could hear the sadness in her voice. Even in her timeline she was going to lose his counterpart and more than likely lose him to the young Saiyan male.
"Come-on let me show you to your room. You're probably tired."
"I'm fine but if you don't mind could stay in my old room?"
"I don't care but I warn you, Kakarott's and my room is right next door" Vegeta smirked.
Well, if nothing else at least her and Vejita were still sleeping together but for how long?
"DAD! WE'RE HOME!" Trunks yelled as he and Goten landing on the balcony of the family room.
"Dad?"
"What is it brat?" He barked.
"Looks like someone woke-up on the wrong side of the bed" Trunks greeted.
"Hn. Whatever" Then Vegeta smile at the demi-Saiyans. That action alone scared them. "Trunks, Goten. You guys remember Bulma"
Had the situation been different, Vegeta would have found this hilarious as both teens drop to the floor when the future blue haired genius said hello.
The ouji just shook his head and started to walk out the room but was stopped.
"VE-GETA! You're not just going to leave them there, are you?" She asked.
"Yes, I am. I'm sick of playing the 'nice' host. It feels like I'm 'bout ready to throw-up. Everyone now knows that you're here, so do what you like" Then he left.
+++++++++++++++++++
Vegeta went back to the gravity room only to find his counterpart using it. The prince pressed the override button to single the user that someone was coming in.
Vejita was in mid-air when the gravity returned normal. He smirked once Vegeta walked through the door. What timing? Now, he could find out some things. He floated down to the console as he watched the young prince re- set the gravity.
"You better set that around 1,000" Vejita said.
"Oh and why is that?"
"I'm well over that mark and the force could crush you"
Vegeta just stared, there was just no way. There couldn't be another level beyond that of a SSJ3, could it?
Both were thinking the same thing. "Let's spar" Both said at the same time, casting each other that infamous smirk which slightly turned into a smile.
+++++++++++++++++++
The other half of the Briefs were gathered in the kitchen as Chi-Chi was getting Trunks graduation dinner together.
"Trunks" Bulma called.
"Yeah Mom" Both answered but Trunks felt a little out of place when he said that and nearly bolted from the kitchen.
Bulma stopped him before he even had a chance to get far. "Hey, sweetie. It's okay," She said as she pulled the teen into her arms.
Tears went uncheck as Trunks gave into holding all his grief inside. The room went quiet as heart-wrenching sobs broke through.
"Sshhs, honey it's okay. I know it's hard to accept that she's gone but she is watching over you guys, and don't worry it's okay if you wanna call me mom" Bulma just held on tighter rubbing her hand on the demi-Saiyans back.
Goten was actually relieved that his boyfriend was finally getting this out of his system. For almost a month the lavender haired teen refused to talk about what happened and didn't shed one single tear. Even at the funeral the young heir of Capsule Corp. remained blank faced and carried on as if nothing happened just like his father.
After a minute the group got themselves together and sat down again.
"Chibi, I would like to see the rest of the gang" Bulma announced.
"Sure but I don't know if dad would be willing to have another party so soon" Trunks replied.
"Don't worry about him besides you have a birthday coming up next week, so it would be just the excuse we need to round everyone together" Bulma said.
"O-kay" Trunks was a little hesitaint knowing what his father would do if he locked horns with Yamcha.
"Mentioning of Vejita. Where did he run off too?"
"Um, he told us that he was going to train" Gokuu answered.
"Yeah, and I'm pretty sure Vegeta is in there with him" Mirai added.
"I swear that's the only thing that they got on their mind" Chi-Chi said.
"Well, Mom look at this way. It's better for Vegeta to be fighting with his self and with Goku" Goten said and he had a good point, because Kami only knows how long Vegeta would spar with Goku.
Chi-Chi's eyes widen at her son's meaning and decided to go ahead and make the phone calls to inform everyone about Trunks 18th birthday party.
+++++++++++++++++++
Vegeta picked his self up off the floor after the older Saiyan prince knocked him down for the final count. Vegeta could no longer maintain SSJ3. Vejita had won this round and he hadn't even powered up to that level. Since he was able to beat the young royal down, he decided to inquire about his relationship with Goku.
He floated down to the floor and switched off the gravity. He stood off to the side watching Vegeta straighten out what was left of his training suit.
"I know something is on your mind, so spit it out" Vegeta barked.
"When did you decided to take that baka as a mate?"
"None of your business really, but if you're asking me that question to figure out if you're going to stay with the woman then I'll tell that you should've claimed him a long time ago."
Vejita had a shocked look on his face but he understood what the other ouji meant. He was denying the fact that he had feeling for the last Saiyan alive that existed in his timeline.
He knew that he was no longer in love with Bulma and that was evident after Gokuu died from the heart virus; but after several years another threat descended upon the Earth and the lug was allowed to return back to help the Earth again. From that day forward Vejita knew that he wanted to be with the all-powerful SSJ.
However, the only other problem was what if Gokuu didn't feel the same way. The ouji was not about to risk his pride on what if. It had to be a for sure thing. Otherwise, he would just give-up his pursuit of the gentle Saiyan.
Vegeta recognized the different emotions on his counterpart's face fear, doubt, regret, love. The other was facing a similar dilemma. Vegeta sighed knowing that there was nothing he could do to help. Vejita had to figure this one out all on his own.
~ TBC ~
A/N: So, how was that? Bet you didn't expect the crossing of the Mirai's, huh? Ok, M. Trunks, Bulma, Vejita and Gokuu are visiting; and Vejita has come to a crossroad that not even Geta can help hi with. What is the prince going to do?
Another party! Vegeta is not going to be pleased 'bout that and do you think that Yamcha's going to show? Well, for the sake of his health he better not. Anyway, tell me what you think. Leave any questions or comments in your reviews ^_~

A/N: So, how was that? Bet you didn't expect the crossing of the Mirai's, huh? Ok, M. Trunks, Bulma, Vejita and Gokuu are visiting; and Vejita has come to a crossroad that not even Geta can help hi with. What is the prince going to do?
Another party! Vegeta is not going to be pleased 'bout that and do you think that Yamcha's going to show? Well, for the sake of his health he better not. Anyway, tell me what you think. Leave any questions or comments in your reviews ^_~
