9:10 a.m. May 10th

Bulma carefully maneuvers her air craft through the air, searching for the meeting spot for the z warriors. It is going to be so wonderful to see everyone again! She wishes it was in better circumstances, but hey, it is what it is. Bulma looks over at Trunks strapped in the passenger seat. The little ten months old is busy babbling baby talk to himself while fiddling with the seatbelt. She giggles. Suddenly she spots Sasebo city. No signs of any fighting, so the androids must not have arrived yet. Where could the others be? Perhaps they are close by. As soon as the thought crosses her mind, Bulma sees two people standing at the top of the mountain overlooking the city. One man wearing an orange GI, and the other wearing a green uniform. Bingo! Bulma steers the craft in the direction of the mountain. As the vehicle gets closer, Bulma begins a landing sequence.

"Alright Trunks this looks like the spot!"

The aircraft touches the ground and the engine shuts down. Bulma opens her lift door to reveal the surprised faces of Yamcha and Tien. Bulma waves to the two men.

"Hi Yamcha! Hey Tienshinhan! Long time no see!" Bulma greets. She notices Yamcha sporting a new cut. Dark spikes decorate his head. They hairstyle looks familiar.

Yamcha smiles at the blue haired woman happily. Tien nods his head in silent greeting. Bulma hops out of the vehicle and walks to the other side to undo the straps to Trunks's little car seat.

"I swear Bulma, you look great! Three years has really been good to you." Yamcha compliments.

Wow! Single life must be good to her. He notices her new set of curves, especially in the hips. She was always beautiful, but today she is radiant. Different in a good way.

"That's a good thing considering who her house guest is." Tien boldly remarks.

Bulma can feel herself instantly get annoyed by the three eyed warrior's comment. She unfastens Trunks seatbelt and exits the vehicle. Yamcha's smile fades from his face and his eyes widen a fraction. Bulma feels a little bad that he has to find out about her child this way, but its better he find out now. Yamcha looks at the chubby baby in her arms. His olive skin, those blue eyes…the face was undeniable. Yamcha can feel his entire body get cold on the inside. He is pissed!

"Who's the father?" Yamcha asks angrily. He already knows the answer.

"Vegeta…" Bulma says flatly.

She looks into his eyes and can see the hurt in them. Tien has a look of shock on his face as well. He looks at Yamcha, hoping he doesn't have to restrain him from hurting the woman.

"VEGETA!? I knew something was going on between you two! How could you? Are you stupid Bulma?" Yamcha practically shouts.

"Listen! There wasn't anything going on between Vegeta and me while you and I were still in a relationship. I'm not like you Yamcha!"

"Bulma don't give me that shit! I told you the only reason I slept with that girl is because of what was going on between you and that bastard!"

"There wasn't anything going on between us at that time! It wasn't until after you and I broke up that he and I actually began having feelings for one another!"

Tien slowly creeps away from the two bickering ex-lovers.

"This definitely has nothing to do with me." Tien says to himself.

"Feelings? Bulma, you are so fucking immature! I thought you grew out of your bad boy phase! Kami! Vegeta of all people? He is a killer! An evil, murdering son of a bitch!"

Bulma decides to take a much more mature tone, one that would not involve screaming over her baby. She is a mother now, and she will act accordingly. Bulma takes a deep breath.

"Yamcha…I'm sorry that you are hurt by this, but I am being truthful with you. I never lied to you before and I won't start now. This is mine and Vegeta's son. You and I grew so distant from one another. Things weren't the same. My feelings weren't the same. That evil, murdering son of a bitch!? I fell in love with him. Not a sick love crush or what I felt with you. This is real love."

Yamcha's is crushed. His face takes on a pained expression.

"How can you say that Bulma? Are you saying that you didn't love me?" Yamcha asks.

"I do love you. I always will…but I am in love with Vegeta. I am soul deep in love with him. I know you won't understand. Vegeta isn't the monster that he wants everyone to believe he is. These years I have seen many a different side to Vegeta. I know you won't understand and I'm not asking you to." Bulma explains.

Yamcha can't believe it. This was not the Bulma he is use to. No screaming, throwing temper tantrums, or acting like a spoiled brat. She has really matured. Yamcha glances at the baby in her arms and feels a pang of hurt. All the years he and Bulma had been together…That should be his son. They should have children together. Not Vegeta! Yamcha knows that he made a mistake sleeping with that girl…now this is his karma. And how sweet of a bitch she is.

"I won't understand this Bulma…but I can see a change in you…a good change…I love you Bulma and I always have." Yamcha admits quietly.

Bulma smiles a little.

"I love you too. I hope that you and I can at least continue being friends. You still are important to me."

Yamcha cannot believe that he and Bulma are even having this type of conversation. He can't even imagine not being with Bulma. Sure he screwed up in the past, but they always found their way back to one another. This is it! Yamcha sighs deeply. He looks Bulma straight in the eyes.

"Honestly Bulma, I don't know if I can accept Vegeta being with you. I don't know if I can accept the fact you and him share a child. A child I wanted with you desperately. Vegeta will screw up. He'll hurt you some kind of a way and when he does…I'll be there. Count on that! I will be there!" Yamcha says.

He composes himself. No need in shedding tears before battle. He turns his back to her as he feels three familiar KI signatures closing in. He didn't want anyone seeing the hurt and anger all over his face. Tien puts on his best poker face. Today is a day of battle. He hopes Yamcha has his head on straight. There couldn't be any room for error. Bulma can feel the anticipation of seeing everyone together again. Will everyone else's reaction to Vegeta and her relationship be like Yamcha's? Will Goku accept Trunks? Bulma has never felt nervous about anything, but she knows she cannot hide his parentage. Goku, Gohan, and Krillin touchdown on the ground. Bulma swallows the lump in her throat.

"Okay Trunks, time to meet your uncle Goku!" Bulma whispers to baby Trunks.

He coo's in reply.
