Compromise

Bulma
-Next Morning!-
It was a rather awkward morning at breakfast for everyone. The doctors released Bulma that morning. Now everyone was at the breakfast table. Bulma sat across the long end of the table of Vegeta. He sent her glances but she coldly stared at him and looked down to eat her food. Trunks and Sanshi sat across from Venux and Shimaru. They all exchanged nervous glances as they felt they were walking on egg shells. "Woman, could you pass the salt?" Vegeta asked as he was sick of the looks and cold silence.
"Get it yourself." Bulma didn't even bother to look up at him from her food. Her tone was just laced with hatred. "Onna, pass the salt." Vegeta repeated himself. "Shove it up your ass you filthy pig!" There was cold silence in the room. Bulma abruptly. "Where do you think you are going?!" Vegeta demanded. "To my room to pack." "You forget who's rooms they belong to." Vegeta became defensive. "Talk to MY Son about it. If I had my way, I'd be gone instead of a week." Bulma strode out of the room. "Mom! You still have to finish breakfast! Mini-me is still hungry!" Trunks ran after her. Venux and Sanshi shot Vegeta dirty looks. "What?! I want some salt!" Vegeta growled in his defense.
"You really love pissing her off first thing in the morning?" Sanshi rolled her eyes. "She was all ready pissed off when she stepped foot in this room and saw me. It was only a matter of time!" Vegeta spoke. "Exactly, you pissed her off!" Venux replied. "Whatever! I can't win!" "Sire, if I may. Never fight with Females. They tend to be always in the right." Shimaru got his two cents in. "Quiet you! No one asked for your opinion!" "Back off Grandpa! Just because you are not getting along with Grandma doesn't mean you have to take it out on poor Shimaru! He didn't do anything!" Sanshi snapped.
Vegeta could only roll his eyes. Sanshi stood up with Shimaru as they left her Mother and Grandpa alone to finish eating. "Pass the salt" Vegeta asked after a moment of silence. A thud echoed the hall as Venux strode out and a mark of the salt shaker on Vegeta's forehead fell from his face as it had been implanted in his face by force.
-Bulma!-
"Mom, you have to finish eating! I know you are still hungry!" Trunks called after her. "I'm going to my room for the whole week! Leave me alone!" Bulma strode ahead of him as she was determined to lock herself up in her room. "That is NOT part of the agreement!" "You never said I should spend this week, no specify how I should make my time here. So you are WRONG in that area of saying what I can or cannot do in our agreement of a week's time!" Bulma whirled around to face him.
Pregnancy certainly gotten to her hormones. She was PISSED! Trunks was caught off guard by how angry his Mother could be. "Calm down! Shit!" Trunks threw his hands up to show he meant no harm. "Easy. I'm your Son, not your enemy." "Look, leave me alone." Bulma coldly told him. "Mom, you know I can't do that." Trunks took on a serious tone. "No, you choose to do that." Bulma paid no mind to his tone. "Look, I know your emotio-" "Emotional?! No, I'm pissed! Just back the fuck off!" Bulma snapped and Trunks sighed at Bulma's mood swings. "I think it's time you took a nap."
"I'm not tired!" "Yes you are and so is Mini-me." Trunks cradled her suddenly in his arms. "Put me down! Hey, stop it! Where are we going?!" Bulma cried out. "You are going to take a nap and when you are ready to be nice, you can wake up." "What?!" Bulma struggled, but all was in vain. Trunks entered Bulma's chambers and set her down. "Now are you willingly going to sleep or am I going to force you?" Bulma opened her mouth to make a smart ass comment, but the ringing of her cell on her dresser stopped them both. "Oh my god…" Bulma whispered. She grabbed it before Trunks could. "Hello?" Bulma asked. "Oh Bulma! You are safe!" came the overly cheerful voice of her Mother.
Bulma was at a loss of words. She'd never thought she'd hear the annoying cheerful voice of her Mother again, but boy was she glad to hear it. Bulma was speechless. "Oh honey, it's okay. You must have been worried sick about us when you got news from O-Ren. Don't worry we are all fine, earth is fine. Are you all right?" her Mother got in her usual chatter of conversation as she always does when she hadn't talked to a friend in a long time.
"Mom, who is it? Are you okay?" Trunks asked concerned. "Mom? Bulma who are you talking to? Don't tell me that you and that nice young man had a baby all ready?!" Mrs. Briefs asked shocked in her shrilly voice. Bulma regained her voice. "No…yes…oh boy. Long story Mom. Hang on a second." Bulma put the phone to her shoulder and looked at Trunks. "It's my Mom. Trunks, Earth is fine and so is everyone there. Oh my god, what do I tell her?!" she whispered. "How about the truth?" Trunks offered. "Here, I'll give you your space. Tell them everything…well leave out the bad stuff. You know what I mean." Trunks left the room.
Bulma let out a sigh as she pressed the cell to her ear. "Mom, you still there?" Bulma asked. "Of course, what is going on?" Mrs. Briefs asked. "Well…it's a long story. Will you have time to hear it?" Bulma asked softly. "Bulma, why do you think I called! What has been going on?!" her Mother demanded. "Okay, well lets start when I got here…" Bulma began her tale.
She told how Vegeta wouldn't help them, she told about O-Ren, the meetings, being captured and then telling the biggest shocker was when she revealed she was pregnant and Trunks, with his family, was her Son from the future; which could make them their family. Bulma's Mother could not contain her happiness. She was over joyed to hear she was a Grandma, expecting Grandma, and now a Great Grandma. Bulma, regrettably, had to bring her down when she asked how Vegeta was taking the news.
"No Mom, he doesn't care. He made it perfectly clear that he doesn't care about us. But don't worry, I'll…we'll…we'll be okay and home within a week. I'm sure you wish to see Sanshi and Trunks." Bulma forced herself to be happy. Luckily, her Mother was overjoyed to notice. "Oh so much to do! Oh so much! Well take your time. We still have to clean up the mess from the rebellion against O-Ren and then Baby Shower shopping!!!" "Rebellion?" Bulma asked surprised. "I'll tell you later darling. Well I have shopping to do! Buh bye!" she giggled on the phone and cut off the link.
-Earth!-
-Much Later!-
-C.C.!-
Yamcha made his way over to Capsule Corp. after hearing the news of O-Ren fall. The Z gang took their home's safety into their hands and fought to get rid of O-Ren's lackeys. It wasn't very hard as the majority of O-Ren's people had left Earth to go back to the lives they once had before O-Ren's empire. Capsule Corp was the Z gang's headquarters and Bulma's parents called everyone for an emergency meeting.
Yamcha had hoped that this meeting would tell something about Bulma. Considering that Mrs. Briefs was ecstatic when she called the meeting; it might very well have to do something with Bulma. "Hold on Babe. When I see you, you'll be glad I'm taking you back." he snickered to himself. He entered the packed living room. Everyone was in great excitement. True Yamcha was late, for his own personal reasons, but guessing from the loud, exciting talking and happy gestures, everyone must know the good news.
"Hey, what's going on?" Yamcha asked, making his presence known. All ready Goku was helping Dr. Briefs break out the alcohol. "Oh welcome, welcome Yamcha! My Bulma is coming home next week!" Mrs. Briefs spotted the young man and handed him a drink and offered him a hug. "That is great!" Yamcha smiled as he took a drink. "Oh and she is pregnant! I'm going to be a Grandmother! Isn't that exciting?!" Mrs. Briefs exclaimed. Yamcha spit out his drink.
He was definatly not expecting that little cliff note. "WHAT?!!" " I know! Vegeta had gotten her pregnant and that nice man from the future; he and his family are part of our family! He's her Son from the future! Isn't that wonderful?!" Yamcha forced himself to be happy. "That's great, no, terrific news Mrs. B! Congrats!' Mrs. Briefs hugged him again and left to go mingle. Yamcha slipped away without anyone noticing. "Damn you Bulma. You know better than to leave me for good!" he hissed. He sundered down to the dark hallways to the garage of the ships.
"Don't worry Babe. I'll save you and you will learn never to leave me without saying so!" he said aloud. Yamcha maybe a fool at hear, but he is no stupid git. After being around Bulma all these years, he did pick up on information. He broke into the garage and headed to one of the working ships.
