He stared at her the whole night; Bloomer's eyes followed Vegan everywhere. The way his eyes stalked her, it made me uneasy. I had to talk to her about it; the next time she excused herself to the ladies' room, I went after her.
She was rinsing her mouth out when I entered the room; we were alone.
'Vegan?'
She stared at my reflection in the glass as she wiped her wan mouth.
'Kakarotto.'
'You look awful.'
'Thanks.'
'Err, I mean sick. You look sick.'
'I know what you meant.' She threw her paper towels away and faced me. 'I'm just on little on edge.'
'Is it because of Bloomer?'
'No, not entirely.'
'What's the matter?'
'Not here.'
'Vegan-'
'I'll explain later; I promise.' Was her quick reply.
I started to protest but was cut off by a small, 'Mom?'
I turned to find Trunks rushing up to us as Bloomer stood in the entrance; he watched her again.
'You don't look so good.'
'I don't feel so good.' She held her head and stomach; her matching sat on the sink. I need to go.'
'But mom...'
'Are you really in the condition to fly?' Asked Bloomer as he approached her.
'I can take her home.' I took her by the hand.'
'I should come too; I can figure out what she ate.'
'I don't think-'
'It's okay.' She rasped, grabbing her bag.
'I want to go too.' Trunks wailed, throwing his arms around
her waist.
'Not so rough.'
After we took mom home, Goku and dad went back to my grandparents and the others to explain why they were gone.
I chose to stay behind with mom; she just wanted to lie down and vomit. I stroked her hair and back; she used to do it when I was sick.
I just wanted her to be better again.
'Mom?'
She groaned in acknowledgment.
'Did you drink the pink stuff dad gave you?'
She moaned and shook her head; I sighed and reached for her bag
'It's in your bag, right?'
She sat up abruptly and reached for the bag. 'Trunks, sweetie-'
'Mom?'
Yes, Trunks?'
'Why do you have a pregnancy test in your bag?'
