Chapter 3:
Goku appeared and startled Bulma as she was brushing her hair. "I see everything went well…" She turned around and noticed tears falling from his eyes. "Goku...What happened? Was chichi mad, I told you this might be too much."
"She has been having an affair." Goku stated just staring at Bulma. "With Yamcha."
"YAMCHA!" Bulma yelled and then covered her mouth to control her volume. "Oh Goku, I'm sorry that this happened to you."
"No, please don't be. I am here to help you." Goku stated as he placed his bag on the bed.
"Well Goku, you can stay here as long you need too." Bulma walked over to the bed and grabbed his bag. She took his clothes out and placed them in some empty dresser she had.
"Thanks Bulma." Goku sighed. "Can I take a shower?"
" Yes of course, Let me get you a towel." Bulma went to the closet and grabbed a towel and washcloth. "Here you go?"
"Thanks Bulma." Goku stated as he nodded and went to the bathroom.
Goku started the water and let it run until he saw the steam rising, fogging up the mirror in the bathroom. Goku quickly striped his clothes and stepped into the shower. At first he started to wash but his mind towards his life and marriage. He was faithful to a woman who didn't even love him enough to be faithful back. He can honestly say he was not in love with her but he loved her for giving him the best gift of his life, his son. He thought as long he continued to stick around, that their love will grow into passion but it never did. They barely made love,and when they did it was the same ol thing. He can tell, she always had other men on her mind. She just used him for protection. It got worse when she found out she was a saiyan. It was like she considered him to be a monster.
The water ran over his muscles which provide relief from the tension he had been feeling for the last hour, dealing with his cheating wife and backstabbing friend. He eventually turned the water off and grabbed the towel for his body and hair. He dried himself off and placed the towel around his waist and the other towel around his shoulder.
"Whew, that felt good. Thanks Bulma. " Goku stated as he walked towards her.
"Goku!" She yelled as she covered her eyes, her face turning red. "You should have put some clothes on."
"Oh sorry Bulma. You've seen me naked before, so what's the problem with me being half naked now." Goku gave an innocent smile.
"Goku, we are older. So it's a big difference." Bulma stated uncovering her eyes but then covered her eyes again when Goku took his towel off, showing all of his glory. "Goku!"
"Oh my bad." Goku laughed, going into the drawer to grab his shorts and tank. "You can open your eyes now, I'm dressed." He shook his head. He took a seat beside Bulma on the bed. "So how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay… but to be honest, I am scared to be a mother." Bulma confessed.
"Being a parent is scary, believe me but it's a blessing. You are going to be a good mother and we will be here to help. He can call me Uncle Goku!" He laughed. He then noticed Bulma yawning. "Looks like someone is sleepy." He stood up and pulled the bed sheets back. "Come on get in. I will tuck you in." Bulma smiled and gladly climbed in the bed. She never noticed how nurturing Goku was until this moment.
"Thanks Goku." She stated and yawned once more.
"No problem." Goku went over to the sofa and was about to lay down until he heard Bulma call out his name.
"Goku, do you want to lay in the bed with me?" Bulma stated as she started to blush. "The sofa can be kind of painful on your back."
"Sure." Goku sounded excited as he got in the bed with Bulma. "This reminds me of our childhood and how we will travel looking for Dragonballs. I missed those days sometimes."
"Me too." Bulma stated. "And Goku, thanks again, for everything."
"No problem Bulma. Now get some rest."He turned his back, as both of them let sleep take over.
The morning came and the sun crept through her blinds. The sunlight woke her as she slowly opened her eyes and turned to the side of the bed and saw it empty. She shot up quickly looking for Goku.
"I guess he left." Bulma sighed and then heard her bedroom door open.
"Goodmorning Bulma." Goku stated with a big smile on his face. He had a tray of breakfast food. "I know when Chichi was pregnant, she stayed hungry. So I thought you would have some food."
Bulma was amazed. She never had a man make her breakfast before. She fixed the blanket as Goku placed the food on the bed.
"Eat up. I already ate this morning." Goku started to cut up her food and placed it on her fork and lifted it up to her face. "Tell me how it tastes."
Bulma opened her mouth slowly and closed her eyes. She never saw this man cook anything. As Goku places the food in her mouth. Her eyes open quickly in shock.
"Goku, when did you learn how to cook?" Bulma asked as she kept eating the food that was placed in her mouth by Goku.
"Before you met me, I was living on my own because of my grandpa's death. So I taught myself. Is it good?" Goku asked.
"Yes, it's amazing. I'm really shocked." Bulma replied.
"You know, being cheerful all of the time does not mean I don't know how to do things." He raised his eyebrow at Bulma waiting for a response.
"Oh no, that is not what I mean. I'm just surprised that's all. I never had man do anything like this before." Bulma responded.
"Really. Well I'm glad I'm the first." He handed her the cup of orange juice. "If you were my woman, I would do this for you all the time."
Bulma choked on her juice and tried to clear her throat. Goku laughed at her reaction and grabbed the juice.
"So what are you planning on doing today?" He asked.
"Umm.. probably do some lab work and you?" Bulma asked.
" Train for a little while. Need to clear my head." Goku stated.
"You want to have dinner together? Like around 8?" Bulma asked. She didn't know why her stomach was turning in knots, waiting for his response.
"Of course." Goku replied as he grabbed the tray. "Should I meet you in the dining room?"
"No, we can have dinner in my quarters. Is that okay? I don't want to freak you out, cause it sounds like I'm trying to set up a date."
"And? Is that such a problem? Friends go on dates all of the time." Goku responded nonchalantly.
"Yea, you are right." Bulma answered, "see you then."
" All right." Goku smiled and walked off with the empty breakfast try.
"What am I doing?" Bulma thought to herself. "I am making things so awkward between me and Goku. We have been friends for a long time, it's nothing more. That comment he made was a joke. Yes, a joke." Bulma shook her head of these random thoughts, "It has to be the hormones." She then grabbed her lab coat to start her day.
