Chapter 5:

It was the next day, and Bulma was waiting for the OBGYN to come over to perform her first ultrasound.

"Are you ready to see your baby?" Goku asked as he sat beside her waiting for the OBGYN to enter her lab.

"Yea. I am." Bulmas stated with excitement.

They both looked up and saw the doctor enter the lab. "Hello, I am Doctor Young. Are you and your husband ready to see your little one?" She went to the machine to start it up and then lift her shirt up to put the jelly on her belly.

"Oh, he is my friend. The father is elsewhere." Bulma responded sadly. Goku held her hand for comfort.

"Oh okay. Well let's get this started." Doctor Young, rubbed the machine around Bulma's stomach. "Well based on the information you provided me, if this was a normal pregnancy, you will be 3 months but, based on your reports. You are halfway done. If you look at the ultrasound, your baby is the size of a 6 month baby."
"Why am I not bigger than?" Bulma asked.

"Well, don't worry during the last phases of pregnancy, you will blow up." Goku chimed in. "I remember Chichi gained 10 pounds a month during her last 3 months of her pregnancy."

"Oh are you also , what is called a saiyan?" Dr. Young asked.

"Yes, I am." Goku stated proudly. "I will be here to help her along the way."

"Good." Dr. Young stated as she continued her exam. " Do you want to know what the sex is?"

Bulma's immediate thought went to Vegeta and what he said about the gender of the child.

"Yes, please." She replied, praying for the child to be a girl.

"Oh okay… it's..a..boy!" Dr. Young informed Bulma, waiting for Bulma's reaction.

"No! No! No!" Bulma yelled and starting crying.

This reaction took Dr. Young and Goku by surprise. "Um. Doctor Young. Can we have a moment right quick?" Goku asked.

Dr. Young nodded and stepped out of the room.

"Bulma, what's wrong? I thought you would be happy." Goku asked, looking at Bulma with a concerned look.

" Vegeta… He said he will be back in a few months. He must have known my pregnancy will only be 6 months. And he stated that if the child is a boy, he is going to take it away from me." Bulma yelled. "Goku, I don't want him to take my baby." Bulma started to cry even harder.

"Bulma…" Goku called her name and grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. "I am not going to let Vegeta come and take your son away. I promise."

"You promise?" Bulma asked through her sniffles.

"Yes I promise." Goku replied and released her from his embrace. "Now let's finish this appointment and then I cook you some lunch dinner okay."

"Okay." Bulma replied, wiping her eyes.

"Dr. Young, we are ready now." Goku yelled.

Dr. Young entered the room and completed the examination and printed out pictures of the baby. Bulma smiled as she looked at her pictures. She couldn't believe that she would be a mom soon. Goku helped her off the table and walked Dr. Young out the door.

"Whew, let's eat some dinner. I am going to cook some food while you rest on the couch okay." Goku smiled as he walked her to the couch.

Goku then went into the kitchen, cooking up a wonderful meal. All Bulma could do was smile. She could get used to this new normal, having Goku here. Maybe something can grow between this. She subconsciously rubbed her belly thinking about a possible family.

~A couple months passed, at Mt. Paozu~

"Who is it?" Chichi yelled, running to the door. "Don't you know it's 6 o'clock in the Morning." She swung the door open and saw Vegeta standing there with a mean scowl on his face. "What do you want?"

"Where is the idiot Kakarott? I wanted to do a quick training before I saw that weakling of a woman." Vegeta snorted as he crossed his arms.

"Oh you don't know. He is at Capsule Corp, protecting Bulma from… YOU. Now if you excuse me." Chichi was about to turn around to shut the door but felt a hand grab her wrist. "Let go of me." Chichi glared. "I'm not Bulma, I will not let you just put your hands on me." She jerked her hand away from Vegeta.

"And woman, I'm not Kakarott. If I feel like I'm being disrespected, I will straighten you out."

Vegeta leaned and snarled at her, which made ChiChi step back a little. Vegeta took a step back and flew away.

The wind from the impact of his take off, blew her robe around and her hair everywhere.

"This is not going to be good." Chichi stated to herself as she fixed her hair, looking into the air.

"Mom who was that?" Gohan asked, rubbing his eyes.

"No one honey. Go back to bed." She stated as she closed the door.

~Back at Capsule Corp a couple of hours later~

"Goku come on hurry up! The material for the belly cast is starting to cold." Bulma yelled as some of the material was starting to get cold on her belly.

"I'm hurrying Bulma." Goku laughed, "It's not my fault that your belly grew this fast in two months." Goku mumbled to himself.

"Shut up." Bulma burst out laughing, as she sipped on her rootbeer. "I can't help if the baby is craving for so much food."

They woke up a little early today to start the nursery but the first project was to complete her belly cast.

Goku was about to put on another strip of material on her belly until he stopped in his tracks.

"Goku, why did you stop. I told you it's getting cold." Bulma laughed.

"Vegeta is here." Goku stated in a serious tone.

"What… Where?" Bulma jumped up looking around the room.

"I'm right here woman." Vegeta stepped from behind the door and appeared in the light.

Bulma felt shiver go up her spine. She never felt so much fear in her life. Goku stepped forward, placing Bulma behind him.

"What are you doing here?" Goku never took Vegeta out of his sight.

Vegeta walked to the dresser and noticed the ultrasound pictures. " I'm here for the woman and…" he smiled when he saw the word boy on the ultrasound. " my son."
