A/N: I hope you guys enjoy this 2nd chapter of TrunkyBoy. I put a lot of time and thought into this, and I tried my hardest to stick to Akira Toriyama's chracters as best I could. (personality wise-like Vegeta for isntance.) I try not to have OCCs in my stories. I hope you like it. Thanks for the reviews on the last one! They helped a lot!
"Oh, I know! Yeah…Uh huh…same with Trunks!" Bulma said as she was talking on the phone with Chi Chi. "Heh Heh, I guess both of our men need manner lessons. But I am trying my hardest to teach Trunks how to have good manners," she said as she was playing with the telephone cord. "Yeah, actually I am going to try to get Vegeta to agree to a marriage license, but I don't know when," she said. She paused to listen to Chi Chi. "Alright, you too! Bye Chi Chi!" she said and hung up the phone.
Jeez, what am I going to do? Bulma thought to herself.
"Mommy!" yelled Trunks as he ran from the hallway into the living room to see his mother. He ran up to her and hugged her. "Can Goten come over tonight? I want to show him all of my cool moves Father taught me yesterday," asked Trunks as he looked up at his mom while he was still a hold of her.
"Well…sure I guess," she said in surprise. One thing after another, it will never change. "So, you got Daddy to train you eh? Wow," she said pretty shockingly. This was good news, but she couldn't believe it. Vegeta didn't even tell her.
"Yeah! Father taught me something called Ki," he chanted. "I can't wait to show Goten!" he shouted. Then he ran to his room.
'Hmmm, so I guess Vegeta got Trunks to call him 'Father'. Bulma thought.
Right when Bulma was about to make a phone call to Chi Chi again to ask if Goten can come over, Vegeta walked in. He went over to the fridge for his daily beer. Bulma was hesitant. She wanted to talk to him, but didn't know the right words. Vegeta usually ignored her anyway, but she needed to talk to him. She kept opening her mouth various times ready to say something, but couldn't.
Vegeta passed by and left the kitchen without saying a word and without noticing her existence. He usually had this attitude for most of the day, but when it came time to go to the "bedroom" scene Vegeta was different. He is one of the most restless sleepers she had slept with. And whenever he wanted to have sex he just helped himself. And Bulma usually let him. But that wasn't very often.
After making the phone call to Chi Chi, she decided to go take a nap. She went into her room and just flopped down on her side of the bed. Her side was all neat and tidy while Vegeta's side is all messed up. She was just about to go off into a deep sleep when the door opened and she heard someone come in. She didn't feel like opening her eyes to look to see whom it was so she just laid there. Then she heard little footsteps come towards her.
"Mommy," said the voice. Bulma immediately opened her eyes. It was her little, purple haired toddler standing there.
"Honey, Mommy is taking a nap," she said.
"Why do Mommies and Da----" he paused and corrected himself. "I mean, why do Mommies and Fathers sleep in the same bed?" he asked innocently.
She hesitated. What should she say? She knew she would have to answer these sorts of questions soon or later. At least he didn't ask, 'where do babies come from'.
"Well… because they ah…they love each other and they want to be together more. It comforts them that they are right next to each other while they sleep," she stated as she was imagining in the back of her head. That was not the reason why Vegeta and her slept together. That was not the reason at all. She knew that Vegeta loved her somewhat but he never actually said it to her…
"Oh…" he said. He gently took a big yawn and climbed up onto the bed and crawled over to the unoccupied side. He curled up and began to drift off into dream world.
Then he whispered quietly before falling asleep. "I am glad you and Father love each other," he whispered.
Bulma just laid there and watched her son start to nap. He was so beautiful. If only Vegeta took the time to see that. Their son…that they created together is so beautiful….
Bulma began to sleep as well. Chi Chi and Goten would arrive in an hour, and she needed energy before she started to handle two toddlers and an ignorant saiyan.
Meanwhile Vegeta was going to the Gravity Room…again… He walked over to the door and the control room and stopped. He hesitated.
"This constant activity has bored the hell out of me," he said to himself. He is not feeling up to constant training in that same chamber everyday. But he has nothing else to do but train. So what should he do? Go do what every other Earthling does and simply participate in hopeless Earthling entertainment activities? No, this is not an option for The Prince of All Saiyans. He is much better than participating in such foolish actions.
Vegeta finished his beer and walked back to the kitchen to eat something. He set his empty beer can on the counter and went to a couple of cupboards. When he opened them, all he found was some crackers and peanut butter. What? The richest woman in town doesn't have anything to eat? He closed the cupboard doors in frustration and let out a big grunt. He looked around the kitchen and into the family room. Bulma forgot to go shopping again. She always did that, she'd get side tracked and distracted with her "inventions" that she would forget to clean, go shopping, cook, etc. This generally pissed Vegeta off.
"Where is that stupid female?" he said. Of course, he only noticed her when he needed her. But, he would never tell you that. He only called Bulma 'female' if he where mad or angry.
"Humph! She is probably working on one of those stupid experiments of hers," he said as he sighed. He tried to figure out something else to do. He decided to go into his room and change out of his tank top and into a spand-ex suit. (He usually wore a spand-ex suit if he was going to a fight or flying somewhere.)
He walked out of the kitchen and into the hallway. He opened his bedroom door and began to walk in. Then, he looked at the bed to see Bulma and his son sleeping on his bed. He was astonished at this and just stared for a while. Bulma looked so graceful just lying there. And Trunks was all curled up like a puppy-dog on his side of the bed.
Why the hell is he sleeping there? Vegeta did not understand this. Trunks has his own room. Why is he sleeping next to his…his…uh…his…what is Bulma to him? What should he call her? His… girlfriend or what? He shattered to think. He is so very confused. He is not used to this, the Earthling culture.
Suddenly when Vegeta was looking at them Bulma moved a little. Then, she opened her eyes and looked towards the door at Vegeta. She always was a light sleeper. Any little movement, or sound, or anything would always wake her up. Which made it hard for Bulma to sleep next to him because he moves around a lot.
Vegeta just looked at her as he was standing there not knowing what to do. Bulma looked at him as well. Bulma saw Vegeta looking at their son in astonishment.
"He…He was tired and just bunked out by me," Bulma said in a tired voice.
He just looked at her more. Ok, this made a little more sense. Since in Vegeta's mind the mother is the general caregiver and the father doesn't really do anything, he figured that Trunks needed his mother at the time. This was not okay. Trunks, his very own son, will NOT be a momma's boy! No, not by his clock, not by his rule. This is not going to continue. His son needs to toughen up! If he is going to become a great fighter someday, he must be tough and masculine. Especially if he wants to make a good impression when Kakarot and the rest of the gang see him next. He wants his son to not make a mockery of him, he wants his son to be better than Kakarot's kid! This "being next to mommy" will not continue once and for all!
Vegeta walked over to his son aggressively.
"What are you doing? Don't disturb him, he is sleeping!" said Bulma.
Vegeta ignored her. Vegeta pushed the kid a little.
"Wake up, kid!" he yelled. Trunks just layed there. Vegeta picked him up and made him sit up. "Wake up you little brat! Enough of this!" he said.
Trunks moaned and opened his eyes, shocked to see his father over him. He yawned.
"Huh? I am tired!" he said. He is very crabby when people wake him up. That is one thing him and his father have in common.
"I don't care! Get up! Go to the Gravity Room right now and train! This 'napping' is a total waste of time and energy, now go!" he said, pointing to the door.
Trunks looked at Bulma sadly. He doesn't want to!
"Vegeta! What are you doing? He is just a baby! He wants to sleep! Leave him alone!" she said and sat up a little.
"Baby? BABY? Damn it! He is no baby! He is old enough to take care of himself. Hell, when I was his age, I could kill saibamen within a heartbeat! When I was his age, my family and race was murdered, and I was one of the only survivors left! I was an orphan! Don't sit there and tell me he is just a baby! If Trunks wants to be a true fighter, he must toughen up and learn how to be a true saiyan! If you are old enough to walk, you are old enough to train!" Vegeta yelled at Bulma.
Bulma was surprised at the fact that not only Vegeta was engaging in Trunks' parenting, but he actually called his son by his rightful name! This was a wonderful day!
Bulma just looked at him for a couple seconds. Then she looked at her son. His hair was all messed up and his eyes had sleep in them. He was very tired, and he is just a boy. But, then again, he is a saiyan boy… what should she do? Surrender him to this rough-hearted Prince? This cold and foul guy that she called her "boyfriend"?
She thought for a moment. Vegeta and Bulma's attractions towards each other very well could have been mental and not physical. Bulma does care for Vegeta and she has gotten attached to the Prince. She figured that Vegeta just needed a little love and he would be all right. She knows that Vegeta cares for her, too, but just doesn't want to admit, that he, Prince of all Saiyans, has indeed fallen in love with an Earthling.
Bulma thought that having this baby would be good for Vegeta, so that Vegeta could learn how to be a father and that there is more to life than fighting. If she let Vegeta take Trunks under his wing, than maybe there is hope for a father-son relationship after all!
She hesitated. Then, surrendered. "Okay…just… just…" she paused for a while, "Just be careful, okay? I know he is a saiyan and all, but…but, he is only five, so just don't go too hard on him, Vegeta," she said in a tired, worried voice. Hoping that Vegeta wouldn't contradict.
Then Trunks looked back at his mom with a worried face.
"Wha? But…But…Mama!" he said quietly not wanting the Prince to hear him.
Vegeta did in fact hear him. "There will be no fussing. You're the one who wanted to train with me, and you agreed to go by MY rules! So there will be none of this! From now on, you are only aloud to be with The Female at night fall, but the rest of the time you will be training and sparring with me, got it?" he yelled. Yeah, he was being a little hard on the kid, but that is Vegeta for yah!
Of course, Bulma would have to argue with him later that night about his "rules". But, for now, she just let him go this time. And besides, Bulma wanted Vegeta to spend more time with is own son anyway. Do you think Vegeta would be the type of father to take his son fishing? NO! I would say not!
Bulma was not surprised at all by his strictness with is son, after all, Vegeta's father was probably the same way with him. Vegeta's high expectations where starting to make more sense to Bulma. Vegeta is "The Prince of all Saiyans" and Vegeta's son MUST be as well trained and determined as his father.
So, for the remainder of the hour, Vegeta and Trunks trained in the gravity room while Bulma sat by the phone and petted Scratch. The dark, black cat was purring up against Bulma. This reminded her of the time when Vegeta was sitting on the couch and Scratch came up to him and started purring and rubbing up against him. Then, Vegeta grabbed the cat by the neck and threw the cat out to the hallway. Of course, Bulma got pissed at him and started cursing him with her loud voice that annoyed the shit out of Vegeta.
Even though there are so many bad memories she had with her partner, she could never forget the good times. The day when she invited him to stay with her, the day he got knocked out in the Gravity Room and she fell asleep next to him when he was recuperating, and also the day when she found out that she would have a purple haired super saiyan son and the father would be Vegeta. She smiled to the memory of that one wonderful night when Vegeta and her……….uh…we will skip that part…Anyway, there where so many good times.
This all went back to getting married. It has been something Bulma has always wanted to do. But she didn't know what Vegeta would say to her asking him, "Want a marriage license?" or something like that. She was afraid of his reaction. She wasn't expecting Vegeta to do the whole "walk down the aisle, give a kiss, vows, cake, reception" and all that other stuff. She knew he would NEVER do that. But, if it was just a simple "get a judge to sign a marriage license" thing, than maybe he would. All she had to do was find two witnesses that would sign the marriage license along with a judge- and Trunks would have married parents. And I am sure Chi Chi and Goku would love to be the witnesses. (Although, I don't think Vegeta would like that very much) It just stinks so much that Goku is dead… Anyway, she knew she loved Vegeta, but she just doesn't know how to get Vegeta to get married.
When she was about to go into more memories, the phone rang.
"We are on our way," said Chi Chi to Bulma on the phone. "Sorry it took so long, Gohan and Goten got caught up in an argument about who can eat the most food," she sighed, "And Gohan insisted on Goten staying for an eating contest," she said. "They got my carpet all dirty and I had to clean it up," she complained.
"Jee, I don't think I could live with two saiyan sons like you do," said Bulma. Vegeta and Trunks are enough!
"Oh, well you will soon or later, once you and Vegeta have another," she said bluntly.
Bulma blushed at the thought. Me and Vegeta…having another baby? Well…maybe…
It was not like Chi Chi to say such a thing. Especially since Bulma and Vegeta aren't even married yet…but who knows? Maybe Vegeta will agree.
"Well, I think it is a little bit too early to be talking about another baby," said Bulma going along with the program. "It's hard enough trying to handle these two over here," she mentioned.
After talking to Chi Chi, Bulma couldn't stop thinking about Trunks and Vegeta. How excited Trunks will be to show off all of his cool moves to Goten. Trunks will make Vegeta so proud once he becomes a great fighter. She knows that Vegeta already was proud of Trunks from the Future-but now he needs to focus on reality. There is a little boy who loves his father and wants to spend more time with him…
Scratch just purred some more as Bulma petted him…
A/N: This chapter was basically about Bulma. Chapter one was about Trunks, and if you guys want a third one about Vegeta, then I will be happy to make one. I know Vegeta was kindof extreme with the "meanness" but that is just how he is. I mean, how would Vegeta really handle his kid being a girly man? I just tried to stick to Akira's Vegeta as best as could.
