I have been writing like a madwoman for the last 2 days! This is chapter 7 of this series. I really want to get this story out of the way, for my new one. I've already written the first chapter, but I don't want to release it until I get this story out of the way. I'm thinking about 15 chapters for this story. I don't really want to write more than 15. Maybe 20? But honestly, I can't imagine writing so many long chapter. I try to write out as much as I can, and as much as my brain can think up. Haha, anyway: Enjoy! :)
The One Mistake
One month into marriage...
Vegeta was still at the palace. His father demanded that he work from the palace. He didn't want his eldest son to leave his wife behind. And she was still pregnant. It made him smile when he thought of the child that was in the belly. He had to admit that he never realized that becoming a father would make him so happy.
He had told her that she was pregnant after the first week. He sat her down, and told her that she was pregnant. She had cried at first. He assumed it was in happiness, but he wasn't quite sure if she was happy or not with the outcome.
He had slept in the same bed with her for the past month, but he didn't want to touch her, in fear that he might injury the brat in her. It is known that some Saiyans are so rough in their lovemaking that they can sometimes dislodge their child from the womb, causing the female to miscarry.
He would often kiss her forehead before going to bed, and she would scoot towards the far side of the bed, avoiding his touch whenever she could. He wasn't sure if she had feelings for him, or if she just disliked him.
He allowed her outside the palace walls, because he thought that maybe she was lonely. Her maiden had gone off with Kakarrot for a 3 month exploration of their planet Vegetasei, and he knew that she had no company. His brother Tarble would once in a while, visit her, and play games with her. Vegeta was lucky to have such a caring brother, even though he was weak in battle, and would not last a minute on the battlefield.
He was in their room, waiting as she showered. As soon as she got out, she took her robe off, showing her back side to him.
All he wanted was to grab her and kiss her, but he restrained himself. He couldn't be too hastily, especially with her still pregnant. His hands clenched at both sides of his body in tight fists, he felt as if he was turning soft. But he knew it wasn't because he was becoming soft, it was because of the brat. That's what he keeps telling himself.
She pulled out a peach colored gown, and slipped it over her head. She felt eyes boring into her backside. She turned around and saw Vegeta standing there, with a scowl on his face.
"Can you help me? Lace me up?" She asked quietly.
He came behind her, and she could feel his breathe on her neck, as his talented fingers laced up her dress quickly. As soon as he finished he spun her around, and kissed her on the forehead. "Have a good day." He whispered.
And in a flash he was gone.
She was truly the most lonely person on the planet.
She sighed as she sunk down onto their bed.
She didn't even realize what was happening to her the moment the pain started, but her stomach started to hurt. At first it was a dull pain, and then a stabbing pain. She bent over with her head between her knees, and she cried out loud, "VEGETA!" She screamed in pain. But he never came, and then she passed out in pain, with a pool of blood surrounding her on the floor.
Vegeta had more business to discuss with his father. It was believed that the Ice-Jins were targeting a planet that belonged to the Saiyan's and King Vegeta was not going to have any of it.
He walked down the grand halls of the palace, until he walked into the huge conference room. His father had already started without him, how interesting. Vegeta watched as his father rambled on for the next hour all the while his mind drifting back to the Princess.
All of the sudden Tarble burst into the room, and he started shouting at Vegeta to come to his room as quick as he could.
Vegeta didn't even realize what was happening, until he say the blood on Tarble's hands. And the screams from Tarble barely registered in his mind, as he zoomed out of the conference room, to go back to where he was earlier that day. King Vegeta followed, but slower behind his eldest son, with Tarble behind him, sobbing, and trying to wipe the blood off his hands.
Vegeta entered their room, looking around in panic, until he saw her. She was lying on the ground, with a pool of blood from her waist down. He picked her up, and carried her quickly out of the room. At this point he didn't care about the blood on the floor, all he cared was that she would be fine in the end.
He carried her and with lighting fast speed he zoomed into the regeneration room. He quickly strapped her in, and he put a small mask on her face to help her with her breathing.
He sat there all day watching her, as she recovered from what he didn't even know. He didn't know what had caused her so many pain. The doctor came in every half hour to check up on the Prince, and his wife.
His father stood there with him for a good majority of the day, but he had to eventually leave Vegeta to his own demons, and his sad fate. Tarble stayed with Vegeta the entire time, never leaving his side. Even when sleep overcame the younger brother, he slept next to Vegeta who was still very much awake. After the sunrise the next day, Vegeta watched as her eyes opened, and she looked at him through the glass of the regeneration tank. He went to the panel next to the tank on the right hand side, and pressed a couple buttons. He watched as the liquid drained from the tank, and the door opened, and a wet Princess stepped out from the tank.
"What happened?" He growled at her.
"I don't know... One minute I was sitting there, and the next thing I was doubled over in pain." She looked so sad, and miserable standing there, with her clothes wet. Her long blue hair was sticking to her back, and she looked like she had just taken a swim in the ocean.
The doctor walked in, and gave her a quick physical. He checked her pulse, and then placed something Bulma had never seen before, it looked like a big speaker, of some sort, near her stomach. And then an image was projected outwards. The picture that was displayed was something like a ultrasound. The doctor shook his head. He looked at Vegeta assuming that he knew what had happened.
Vegeta fell on his knees. He wasn't sure what to think anymore. He wanted to scream to the world, heck to the universe. Just his damn luck.
Tarble awoke and he looked at Bulma hopefully. But Bulma was in her own world. She touched her belly, feeling the aching feeling that wasn't there anymore. She wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. She walked out of the room, and walked towards their room, ignoring Vegeta, the doctor, and Tarble.
When she got to her room, she sat down on her vanity, and started to comb her hair. Her long blue hair had already started to dry already. She was grateful that her hair was so beautiful and long.
She sat there and brushed her hair for five minutes before the Prince stormed in.
"What the hell happened?" He hissed at her.
"You tell me. I wasn't the one who wanted to be pregnant."
He started throwing items around in their room. Mostly the small things, and when he realized that his throwing things around wasn't getting her attention, he rushed to her side, and breathed down her neck in fury.
"We are going to do it again, we will have a child!" He screamed at her.
She slowly turned around to face him. "Why?" The simple one word fell out of her mouth.
"Because... we just need to!" He racked his hand through his unruly hair. And he started to get more angry at her, for her cold remarks at him.
"Because we need to? I don't think so. It didn't work this time, what makes you think it will work a second time?" Her face was impassive as she spoke to him. No feeling in her voice. It was as if she had died, and couldn't be revived.
He glared at her, with murder in his eyes. "I will tell you, but you are not going to like it! Your father decided to have us wed earlier than planned so I could impregnate you. He told my father that if we were to wed earlier, he would give my planet a contraption that would allow us to cloak the planet to hide us from the Ice-Jins."
She stared at him with shock on her face. And then she started screaming, and crying all at the same time.
He pulled her to him, trying to calm her, but that only caused her to fight him more, until she was pounding on his chest with her small fists, screaming at him, to let her go. He knew she wasn't happy about the agreement that was given by her father to his, but there was nothing he could do.
She screamed at him, and pushed him away.
Finally he let her go, and she ran as fast as her small feet could take her. She ran till she was outside the palace. Then she stopped, and after her tears dried up, did the betrayal of her family take effect on her. She never realized how much of an asshole her father was. But now she realized that she couldn't trust anyone anymore. She started laughing, until a maniac laugh came out of her mouth. And she slumped down against a wall, laughing till her voice was hoarse. She was her own demon, and she knew it.
