~Author Note~ This is my third fanfiction. This is a Goku/Bulma love story. I always wished they had something! This is story has some abuse aspects. I DONT OWE THESE CHARACTERS. So please grab a late night snack enjoy and review.

"Vegeta! Please.. No...you promise not to hit me again." Bulma yelled as she ran out the room and into the hallway of Capsule Corp. She bumped into the wall and fell to the floor, trying to get up to start running again. But before she can get her footing, Vegeta snatched her by her hair and dragged her to their room. She kicked and screamed praying for someone, anyone to hear her. She knew no one was coming to her rescue, her parents were on the other side of Capsule Corp and could not hear anything that was going on.

Vegeta shut the door immediately after he threw her on the bed. He reached down his pocket and pulled out a pregnancy test that he found in the trash can.

"You thought you can hide this from me by throwing paper on it." Vegeta tossed the pregnancy test on the bed in front of Bulma. "I knew something was off with you. I could smell your hormones shifted."

Bulma inwardly cursed the strong sense of smell that saiyans had. She thought she would be able to hide it until she could find a way to tell him of the news.

"No, I was going to tell you." Bulma stated as she grabbed the pregnancy test from the bed. " I believe I am 3 months already."

"3 months! What am I going to do with a child? Huh?" Vegeta yelled and raised his hand at Bulma.

Bulma covered her face from the potential strike. "You can do a lot with a child. He can be your male heir." She responded quickly, hoping that would stop his attack. She waited for a while and noticed he had placed his hand down. She sighed in relief, thanking God that her plan had worked.

"You are right. He can be the next heir." Vegeta turned away from Bulma, smiling to himself. "So, I guess you are safe for now. I can't hurt my heir. But I'm not going to be here for you during this time." He turned back around and glared at her. "And don't think this child is going to make us a couple. I don't want you, and I only used you for one thing." He walked towards Bulma's slowly, making Bulma shake in fear. "I can still use you for that can't I?" He leaned in towards her and snatched her chin to make her look at him. He laughed at Bulma's visible fear. He loved it when Bulma was afraid of him.

"Didn't you ever love me?" She mustered to say as Vegeta grabbed her chin harder.

Vegeta's eyes widened in disbelief of the question, this woman had asked him. Vegeta let out a loud laugh in her face, "Love… Love, I never loved you. You were a good screw." He continued to laugh in her face. "I saw you were heartbroken over that weakling of a warrior Yamcha and took my shot."

"What…" Bulma eyes started to water. "I loved you, even when you beat me, I always forgave you. I believe you when you tell me when you will do better."

Vegeta pushed Bulma by her chin and crawled on top of her and leaned towards her ear. "I lied"

Bulma couldn't control her tears any more and let them fall from her blue eyes. Vegeta got up and looked at Bulma crying on the bed. " Sorry excuse for a woman. I will be back in a couple of months to see if the heir is a boy. If it is not, I will leave and never come back. If it is, I will take the child and raise him as a proper saiyan." Vegeta walked off and left Capsule Corp.

~At Mt. Paozu~

"Hey Chi. Do you think something is wrong with Bulma?" Goku sat at the table waiting to drink his nightly tea with his wife.

" How would I know, she has the crazy man living with her. I told her not to have him in the house with her but she never listens to me." Chichi stated as she sat down with two cups of tea.

"I don't know, we have not seen her in awhile." Goku stated as he took a sip from his cup. "Lately, I've been getting this bad feeling about Vegeta living with Bulma. She isn't her fiery self."

"If you are so worried about her, go check on her." Chichi stated as she rolled her eyes. Chichi never liked Bulma and Goku's relationship but she doesn't really say much because she has been having an affair with Yamcha for the last couple of months.

"You are right, I am going to check on her now. I will be back." Goku leaned in to kiss Chichi but she turned her face to give him her cheek. Goku noticed how she avoided his kiss but decided to not speak on it, for he is afraid it will start another argument. Goku knew something was off with his wife as well, but he couldn't figure it out. He noticed that her scent has changed when he comes back from training. He decided that he would just speak to her when he got back from Bulma's. "See ya Chi". Goku placed two fingers on his forehead and disappeared in a matter of seconds.

ChiChi waited for a while, and picked up the phone to call Yamcha.

"Hey, I got him out of the house for awhile, come over." She hung up the phone and smiled to herself as she ran up the stairs to change her outfit.

~Capsule Corp~

Bulma was still crying on her bed, holding herself in the fetal position. In the matter of seconds, Goku appeared in her room.

"Hey Bulma." Goku waved at Bulma but noticed she was crying. "What's wrong Bulma, why are you crying?"

" Oh, it's nothing." She quickly wiped her face and looked at Goku, placing a fake smile on her face. She then noticed Goku glaring at her.

"What happened to your face?" Goku quickly walked to Bulma, holding her face gently in his hand.

She usually puts make-up on to cover the bruise, but she forgot to put some on today since she has been in her room all day. "It's nothing Goku." She jerked her head away from his hand. "Why are you here?"

Goku sighed as he placed his hand on his side. "I am here to check on you and obviously my intuition was correct. Who hit you?" Goku asked in a serious tone.

" I fell and hit my face on the counter." Bulma turned her eyes to avoid eye contact with Goku. Goku could always tell when she was lying. They have been friends for over 15 years.

Goku looked at her up and down and let out another sigh, "You're lying"

"No, I am not." Bulma yelled back.

"Bulma, I want you to tell me but if you don't I will read your mind for the answer." Goku shifted, leaning on one leg,crossing his arms.

Bulma hesitated but she knew Goku would find out if he read her mind, " OKAY…. Vegeta did it."

Goku stood up straight and anger appeared in his onyx eyes. "Where is he?"

"He is gone, He is not coming back for a while."Bulma sighed and stood up, holding the pregnancy test in her hand.

"Why isn't he coming back?" Goku asked.

"Because… I am pregnant.
