Bulma and Vegeta are proud of their son

-"We better destroy him before he activates the other androids"- Piccolo said

-"That is the cowards way out"-Vegeta wanted to fight, as usual, but was also interested in impressing his family, that for once was around him.-"I want to destroy those androids with my bare hands, the other ones were not interesting enough"

Trunks looked at his father with disbelief, was he really that proud and arrogant, his mother had warned him about his character what this was too much. How could he be so blind to the terrible truth in front of him.

-"Do not underestimate them!"- he yelled at Vegeta-"we should do as Piccolo has said, we should avoid a confrontation until Goku is better"

That was the piece of information that Vegeta didn´t want to hear. Everyone loved Kakarot, and now his own son as well. This boy, the heir of the royalty bloodline, was staring at him telling him, no .. yelling at him, ordering him to stop and wait for Kakarot´s return, so the low level soldier could save the day again. That was unbearable, that was a slap to his honour, to his pride, that was the worst insult his son could have said to him. He felt disappointed.

-"We do not need Kakarot, I am now a super saiyan, and I am a prince saiyan. I am stronger that he has ever been"- He answered his son, hoping that he would finally see it. This had to be his mother´s influence, after all the boy had been raised by her, listening to her stories about the great Kakarot, it was just logical that the boy considered him such a strong warrior. But why had Bulma not told the boy about his father? Why Bulma didn´t said that he, Vegeta, was also strong, a true saiyan warrior? Why? He was dead in that future timeline, he knew it, but was his death so complete that not even his memory survived. Didn´t she cared a little for him?

-"I need no one"- Vegeta shouted angry and hurting and then flew away, he couldn´t stand the idea of being there, close to her, knowing that she didn´t care, that she never told his son about him, that she preferred to tell him stories of Kakarot.

-"Well, he is very strong, probably more than Goku, maybe he does have a chance"- Piccolo doubted it, but he had always been impressed by Vegeta´s tactical skills and he knew a powerful warrior when he saw one. He could also tell that something was troubling the saiyan and wondered what could it be?

-"No,he is wrong"- Trunks was trembling from the rage and the fear, he didn´t want the future to repeat itself, he hadn´t risked everything to see how it all happened again-"I am a super saiyan too and that had never made any difference. He is a fool. The androids in my time killed him and I won´t let that happen again. I won´t let my father die again!"

Trunks flew following his father into the sky. Bulma blinked a couple of times.

-"Did he said father? What could be meant by father?"- she wondered out loud.

-"There is no need to keep it a secret anymore"- Piccolo answered her-"That boy is Trunks, he is the man that your baby will become someday, so his father is Vegeta"

-"What???"- Bulma was in shock, she had always felt an odd familiarity with the boy but she had met him before she even had sex with Vegeta, that was weird, she was still going out with Yamcha back then. If only she had known the truth.

-"There is a certain resemblance, you said it yourself"- Krillin added when he could close his gaping mouth again-"that is why he can turn into a super saiyan, because he is half-saiyan".

-"We better hurry and destroy the androids before it is too late"- Piccolo said

-"Sure"- said Gohan

Bulma stared at her baby and held him at arms length. He was happy and making funny noises.

-"Well, that is a relief"- she told the baby-"I was so worried because I thought you were going to look just like your dad, but now I know that you will be handsome and taller"

The others looked at her with surprise. Bulma would always be Bulma.

Vegeta needed space to think and a good battle to feel better. All that anger inside was driving him mad. He sensed another Ki and saw the boy trying to catch up with him. He smirked at his efforts. He wasn´t going to play it easy to get.

Trunks could remember the thousand times or so he had asked his mother about his father. She would always be tinkering with some machine and she would turn her face, with grease spots here and there and smile. She didn´t like to speak of Vegeta, but he face lighten up when she did, that fill Trunks with a pride he could not explain.

-"He was not the best of men, he was too proud, and he did some terrible things, I am sure he was sent to hell when he died, but he also did some good things. He never told me he loved me, it was because of his pride but I could tell…he was strong, complicated and he always tried his best to achieve what he wanted. I admired that. I loved him because I understood him, I knew what he was, where he came from and I respected him. To love is to accept what the other person is, not to try to change that person. I knew who he was better than anyone else."

Trunks could not believe that man had any good in him, he couldn´t understand why his mother ever let such a man touch her.

-"He plans to follow me all day? Interesting, let´s see what he can do"- Vegeta increase his speed trying to lose the boy but Trunks made an effort to continue close to his father.

-"I almost forgot that he is a super saiyan too"- Vegeta was impressed by his son´s strength, he smiled proudly-"of course, after all, he is my son"
