Chapter one : The Nightmare

" Noooooooooooooooooooooo! " Vegeta wakes up from his nightmare finding himself in super saiyan form , still suffering from the after effects of his nightmare , his power, shattering the door to his room.

Bulma woke up to the disturbance and swiflty got out of her room to find out what was happening. Hearing Vegeta's screams, she ran towards his room, her eyes popped out in agony as she found Vegeta floating in mid air, screaming his lungs out "arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! "

He looked terrified at the same time with uncontrolable rage as if he lost something most dearest to him. He always had nightmares, but none like this one, he looked so feared and raged and his blood vessels are almost popping out from his body. " Vegeta" cried Bulma with concern, Vegeta turned to her, realizing it was just a nightmare, " what happened ? " Bulma asked, desperate to know what was going through his head, Vegeta didn't reply, landed on the floor, went into the balcony, staring into the sky, still unable to escape his nightmare.

Actually it was not a nightmare, a memory, his most painful memory, that he could never escape nor forgive himself for. Bulma watching him, walked towards him into the balcony, wrapping her hands around his neck, she leaned onto his shoulder

" what was it ? " He shrugged off her " nothing " and stormed into the sky. He never shared any of his nightmares with her, nor she ever dared to ask. But this...this threatened him more than any other one. She didn't expect him to share it but she had slightest of hopes that he would.

Bulma went back to her room and moved towards the baby bed where baby Trunks was fast asleep. She was surprised that he didn't wake up , normally he would wake up even to the slightest of sounds. She gradually took the baby into her arms without disturbing his sleep, placed him on the main bed alongside her, protectively wrapping an arm over him, closed her eyes thinking

" what was it troubling vegeta ? how could he hold so much pain in his soul without sharing to anyone, not even to me, this thought is tearing my heart, am i even not worth to share his agony ? Does he atleast consider me as his mate ? or he only comes to me whenver he needs the physical comfort " her eyes became wetter and wetter as these thoughts spun through her mind, though these doubts were always present at the back of her head , she came to accept that Vegeta , though doesn't show affection , he , deep down in his heart loves her, but she didn't even know whether this acceptance was really true or was it just an illusion which came from her never ending love towards him and the hope. With these thoughts Bulma gradually slipped into the sleep.
