hello chums long time no review yes I know o well you'll live anywhobe on with the chapter
"why do i have to stay here it's boring," Trunks said watching his father prepare to fight.
"I'd think it be obvious stupid, so you don't get hurt," he replied not even looking at hisson.
The boy just sighed and crossed his arms annoyed by his father's response, sure he was used to his father's name calling but he was always a very independant kid so his father being this protective of him was just plain weird. Looking over to his sketchbook nearby he pulled it out and started doodling, drawing the same thing he had been missing sincehe left home with his father.
'Mom'
Bulma was always happy tomodel for her son to draw she'd always pose in the most over dramatic positions like the women making him laugh every time, it never failed. But now he drew her as he always saw her, his mother was his angel and always would be, besid her was a miniature version of Bulma which Trunks called his sister.He drew many pictures of that little girl, it was how he thought she would look like when she was older, he didn't even know if it was even close to what she would look like but he hoped he's was at least doing his baby sister justice.
Noticing his son had stopped and was being really quiet he walked up behind him to see what he was up to, looking over his son's shoulder his breath caught in his throat along with a large lump.
He watched unoticed as his son drew his wife wearing a flowing white gown and a pair of magnificant wings were coming out of her back, herhairloose and blowing wildly around her face. He noticed that his wife looking down and smiling proudly at something, as he got closer to his son he realised that Bulma was holding the hand of a little girl with the same beautiful face as his wife, the little girl wore the same dress and had the same wings asthe older woman and then it hit him, the little girl was his daughter. He didn't even know how he knew it was her because he had never really seen her face but somehow he just did.
Trunks stopped drawing when he saw that there was a wet spot on the page, and looked up into the eyes of his father who stared right back at him. The boy didn't know what surprised him more the fact his ather was crying or the fact that he was doing so openly in front of him of all people.
"Dad you ok?" he asked concerned.
"Ya I'm fine," the older saiyan replied shaking his head as if he was just in a daze,"since when do you draw anyway?" Vegeta asked changing the subject both out of embarassment for crying in front of his son and curiosity.
"Since I was three dad you ever notice the doodles on the fridge in the kitchen," Trunks said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, technically it was in this case, but to Vegeta it was news to his ears.
The saiyan looked at his son like he grew another head,"riiiiiiight the doodles," he said pretneding he knew what he was talking about.
'What the hell is a doodle'
"Any other hidden talents I don't know about?" Vegeta asked kinda aggitated now.
"Idanceandwritemusic," the boy said fast and looked at his father who had that run-that-by-me-one-more-time look on his face," I dance and write music," he repeated.
"I play sports, I play video games, hellI make my video games, I cook, I'm a movie geek, I do alot of stuff I love fighting but my life isn't based around it," he explained
'Who is this kid? My god I don't even know my own son' Vegeta thought horrified as he looked at his son who had suddenly found the ground interesting.
"Its ok dad I'm not at you for it or anything you were just busy," was all he said before he walked off somewhere to go finish his drawing.
Vegeta had spent the rest of that day trying to train but his son kept distracting him, finally fed up with with this decided to track down the sprite to he could check on Zora.
"Hey blue boy what's going on with the girl?" he said finding the sprite on the bridge.
"She just reported in she got onto their planet safely, as far she knows no one suspects that she's saiyan," he said then added," she mentioned their were some curiosity concerning her 'belt' but she's been telling them its a trophie from a fight with a saiyan and now uses it's tail as a belt and now everybody is offering her shelter and food."
"Nice cover," was all he said," so why was it that we sent her there alone again?"
"Becuase they don't know she's saiyan and if either one of us went with her Zora's cover would be blown and we'd be killed on the spot, it's risky enough that she reports back to us," Drac explained," besides its all part of the plan so relax or spar or whatever it is you do to kill time but don't hurt yourself we gotta fight tomorrow."
The blue sprite couldn't help but smirk listening to the saiyan prince mumble under his breath as we walked off to do whatever it was quite francly he didn'twant to know.
That nightVegeta sat in his room waiting for sleep to come to him but nothing no matter how much he tossed and turned, Trunks was still on his mind. Finally giving up on sleeping he got up to to the GR room to train to make himself sleep from exhaustion but stopped not even half way there in front of Trunks' room.He didn't know why but something compelled him to go in there so quietly he walked in and watched as his sleeping son's chest rose and fell, so he took the opportunity to look around his son's room until it fell on the boy's sketch book which laid beside a picture of him Trunks and Bulma at once of the random bbq's they had.
Flipping through the black bookhe couldn't believe how detailed the sketches were and alot of them were of Bulma and most of those dumb ass fighters and one of a really cute girl that looked about Trunks' age.
"Damn that boy draws alot but I gotta admit they are good," Vegeta said to himself and kept flipping through until he came across one of him and Bulma and couldn't help but smile at it he remembered that day it was one of the only days he actually spent with his wife andshe had fallen asleep on his chest.
"Dad what are you doing?" Vegeta heard his son ask behind him and turned to see the lavender haired boy looking at him weird and quickly put the book down.
"I'm not gonna lie I don't really know but what are you doing up anyway?" he asked changing the subject.
"Watching my father snoop through my room, your really loud when your trying to be sneaky are you aware of this," Trunks said yawning.
"Ya gotta work on that," he said sitting on the boy's bed and the two sat in an awkward silence until Vegeta said," I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I haven't been a good father to you, or husband to your mother," he said finally looking at Trunks who looked like Vegeta grew an extra head," don't look at me like that you know damn well it sucks not having me around, I mean c'mon I don't even know you hell I barely remember your name sometimes. Your four years old know and I haven't even spent any time with you I'm sorry."
"Dad?"
"Yes what is it?"
"It's ok I don't hate you for it...well maybe at first I did but mom told me once that you didn't have parents to teach you how to be a parent and weren't used to having kids around or sharing her attention with someone else, so I understand why your not always there for me like Goten's dad is for him but I still love you," he said smiling,"besides even though I did everything with mom, fighting was our thing and still is, mom has the baby to do stuff with now so we'll probably be sparring alot more anyway right," he added trying to make him fel better but instead struck a nerve mentioning Bulmand the baby.
"Ya your mother has the baby in the afterlife, and I have you here to take of, and now that I know you can cook your gonna be one busy saiyan," he said smiling evilly at the boy.
"I had a feeling you'd say that," the boy said drily
"But none the less after this is over I promise I'll try to be a better father to you and when we get your mother back I promise to be a better husband to her, maybe we can actually be somewhat of a family anyway," he said," but for now you go back to sleep, I'm not gonna see tomorrow till later so goodnight and be good and try not to play with all the buttons on the ship and blow yourself up," he coninued pulling Trunks int ohis strong arms.
"As tempting as that sounds I think I can grasp enough will power to avoid doing that, night dad," the boy said lying back down.
"night," Vegeta said getting up to leave.
"Oh dad onemore thing"
"What now"
"I'm seven"
"What?" Vegeta said turning to the boy.
"I'm not four, I'm seven this year, probably should have mentioned that earlier huh," Trunks replied laughing nervously.
"That would have been nice to know I'll keep that in mind," Vegeta said leaving the roomto back to his own and as he lied down feeling like a weight had been lifted and sleep suddenly came quickly to him ready for whatever was comming his way the next day.
The next day...
Vegeta and Drac were up early and more then ready to go meetZora on the planet, the saiyan put the cloack around his neckas he walked down the hallway of the ship and suddenly found himslef once more stopping in front of his son's room and quietly went inside to see him still sleeping. This time making sure he was absolutely silent when he went into the boy's room and walked up to his sleeping form watching him for few minutes before he bent down and kissed him on the head.
"I'll be back for you I promise," he whispered confidently to the child before leaving him to his rest.
Out on the bridge Drac was waiting patiently for Vegeta to meet him.
"You ready to go?" he asked the saiyan.
"Let's go," was all he said as they departing the ship and hiding it well before making their way to meet Zora.
