The next morning, Vegeta woke up and noticed Bulma wasn't in bed. He didn't think anything about it though because she was good at waking up in the mornings right before him to make him a little breakfast before going to do his morning training. It was never anything extensive. Usually it was a couple eggs and some bacon, with a cup of coffee. He never understood how she would wake up before him but he appreciated having that breakfast ready for him. Some mornings she wouldn't wake up but always had the coffee set so it would make itself and be ready for him when he came down the stairs and already poured in his mug. Of course that was one of the advantages to being married to a genius. She came up with different inventions just to make life easier for him. Even though he had been living on earth he she did not know how to do many things, mainly because he didn't have to.
When he first arrived to earth, Bulma's mother did all the cooking and cleaning. Then Bulma started to learn how to do the cooking and taking care of the family. And with Bulma creating different machines to help her with the chores around the house, Vegeta never had to do anything which is how it should be for him anyways. He is Prince of all Saiyans, and servant chores shouldn't be something he has to help with because he is living on a different planet and is married to an earthling. He is a prince and will always be a prince.
He got down to the kitchen, but there were no lights on. He flipped the switch on and saw that not even his coffee was brewing. Turning around he marched back upstairs, searching for her low ki power. He couldn't feel her ki over the boys, which was strange because her signature was usually very easy for him to locate. For a moment he started to panic. 'How can I not sense her? She's got to be up in the bedroom, probably in the bathroom again.' He though as he flew back to the room because it would be quicker. He burst through the bedroom door and straight into the bathroom. She was laying on the floor with a blanket on her. He stood looking at her with some confusion and some irritation. "Woman, what the hell do you think you are doing? I don't think this is a suitable way to use the rest room."
Bulma lifted her head off the floor and glared at him with puffy eyes. When she spoke, her voice was strained from the apparent night of getting sick, "For your information, I thought it made a lovely addition to the uses of this room."
"If you like smelling like ass and puke, I guess it is all yours. I think I'll stick to lying on the plush comfort of our King size bed with the silk sheets." Vegeta stated with a smirk as he outstretched his hand to his wife. She grabbed it and smiled sweetly at him for the help.
"Well I could always sleep on the floor and then join you in bed after you come back from your training late at night." She said right before she turned on the water and splashed her face with water.
Vegeta just stood there watching her with his arms crossed before he retorted, "Well then I guess I don't have to take a shower before climbing in bed with you since my BO will go perfect with ass."
"Whatever you say sweety." Bulma said as she patted him on the chest as she walked by. She changed from her silk see-thru gown into one of her t-shirt and pajama pant ensembles and left the room. Vegeta could tell she wasn't feeling well even though she wouldn't let herself show it. He admired her so much when she acted tough and stubborn. She always seemed to cave after a while if she was hurting or not feeling well though. He always took advantage when she would complain. He kept a close distance to her because he could tell something just wasn't right.
She made his usual small breakfast meal and gave him a kiss. She sat at the table while he finished up his food. He ate quickly and picked up his plates. Bulma looked at him in surprise because he never usually did that for her. He turned around from the sink, holding his second cup of coffee. "Well, I'm going outside to do some meditation. I'll be in later."
"Okay, I'm going back to bed." She gave him a kiss and went back up to bed. As she walked away, Vegeta couldn't help but notice something different about Bulma but he couldn't place it and didn't want to dwell on it for too long. He hadn't been able to train so some solitude while meditating was going to help some with his cluttered mind. Working out was usually his tool for figuring things out, it was when he thought best.
Several hours later, Bulma woke up to boys running down the hall shouting at each other. They were playing some kind of strange game they made up a couple years ago. Sighing she shook her head and laid there staring at the canopy above. 'What could be wrong? I just don't get it. I haven't been sick in such a long time. I always take care of myself and I'm pretty sure my cooking wasn't bad because Vegeta and Trunks would have been affected. The only time I really remember throwing up like this was…' She let her thought end while her eyes went wide open. "There's no way." She whispered to herself. Jumping up, Bulma ran into the bathroom and looked at herself on the mirror on the back of the door. Turning sideways she looked at her image, it didn't look different that she knew of. 'I'm probably just jumping to conclusions. I need to get into the doctors. I'm not even going to play with the at home test.' She thought. Running over to the side table she grabbed her phone off the charger and called the doctor and was lucky enough to get an appointment for the next morning. 'The sooner the better' she thought ' Vegeta is going to be able to read me like an open book.'
She went down to the lab so she could work on Vegeta's new GR. She figured if she could make some headway on this machine then she would have something to talk to him about around dinner time. The problem was she couldn't get her mind off the subject. If she could just focus on that dame machine than maybe, just maybe she could stop thinking about it. The afternoon wore on and not much got accomplished on Bulma's behalf.
Vegeta on the other hand kept himself busy by racing the kids around the city and training with them. He figured if he couldn't get his training in and the boys were full of energy, why not have both of them spar with him. They had flown out the middle of no where to do their "playing" and started right away. It would be Vegeta versus Goten and Trunks, and Vegeta just laughed to himself. He knew he could take these two down easily if they were separate, but together they were a little more challenging. After several good beatings from Vegeta, Trunks and Goten were behind a large bunch of trees listening to Vegeta laugh at them. "You two are so pathetic. I can't believe how weak you two have become. Getting so lazy with your training and being more worried about other issues in your life. I think you two should man up or neither will make it to your homes for dinner."
"Your dad really knows how to be mean doesn't he?" Goten asked.
"I think he's just trying to get us to fight harder. He does it to me all the time when he gets me to go into the GR with him." Then he sighed. "He's never gonna let us go to our homes if we don't beat him to a point. We gotta come up with a really good move."
"Yeah but your dad and my dad know all of our moves. Any time we spar with the them they beat so so badly." Goten said as he looked around the tree to see if Vegeta was coming since he had gone quiet from above.
"The only thing we could do is make it more fair and go one on one." Trunks said with a sneaking smile.
"Really? We haven't fused in such a long time! You really want to?" Goten was practically screaming and was jumping up and down.
"Shut up Goten, you don't want my father to here you. Okay let's do it. I want to kick his butt!"
The boys got up from their position and moved to where there weren't so many tree twigs so they would not mess up their fusion. "I'm so excited. Trunks this is so awesome!" Goten said as he stood up in position with his arms out to the side.
"Stop talking and focus." Trunks said as he held his arms out to the other side.
Vegeta could feel their power levels rise quickly and then there was only one resideing. He knew what that meant, they fused. 'Those sneaking little bastards. Do they really think they can overpower me just because they joined together. There is no way' And with a tensing of his body for a mere second he went to super saiyan 2. "Alright you coward, get out here and fight GOTANKS!"
He looked surprised when he heard his name yelled like a rumble out of the sky. "Damn he figured out our plan. Oh well, we are so going to beat him now." Gotanks said confidently as he rubbed his nose. "Here we come!" He yelled as he went super saiyan 3 while flying up towards Vegeta. He was expecting them to come up from the right and he quickly dogdged the move and hit Gotanks in the middle of the back. With a groan, he twisted himself around and grabbed Vegeta's leg. Twirling quickly through the air, they spun Vegeta and then tossed him straight up in the air. They moved above Vegeta and brought fist together to make Vegeta hurling back towards the ground. Vegeta smiled as he sped towards the ground. He moved his body so he could see the boys above him, still upside down, he pulled his ki into his hands. "GALIK GUN!"
Gotanks was still laughing about his move on Vegeta and didn't sense Vegeta's attack until too late. The boys went flying through the air and crashed into the mountains surrounding the forest they were fighting above. After they hit, their bodies separated and they returned to normal state. Goten, who was upside down in the wall of the mountain, turned over to Trunks, who was face first on the little room to stand, "Well I guess that plan didn't work. What are we going to do? We'll never get to leave now."
"That's right, you two are too pathetic to go home." Vegeta said as he popped up from below. "Every time you two fuse, you forget you are not invinsible, if anything you are more predictable because you are arrogant and don't use your brains." He said as he started to charge up his ki in one of his hands.
"Dad, please! You win! Can we please go home?" Trunks pleaded as he lifted himself off the ground dusting off his front. Goten was just standing next to his buddy with his eyes gigantic, thinking that Vegeta was about to end his life.
"Fine. Goten go straight home. I don't want you getting…" Vegeta started until Goku arrived right in front of him with his two fingers up to his forehead.
"Hi Vegeta." Goku said in a high pitched happy voice that Vegeta hated.
"What do you want Kakorrot?" Vegeta stepped back so he didn't have to be so ridiculously close to Goku.
"Actually I was coming to get my son. Chi-chi's been flipping out since he hasn't come home. I was just seeing if him and Trunks were done playing for today?"
"Yes we are done having him reek havic on our household for a while."
"Great, well, dinner's almost done so we're out of here for now. Seeya!" Goku said as Goten walked over to him and put a hand on his arm and Goku put his fingers back up to his head. In a blink the two disappeared leaving Trunks and Vegeta standing there.
"Well child, let's get home. Your mom will start calling me on that damn cell thing if we are gone too long." And with that the two took off towards home.
When they got home dinner was ready and they all ate in silence. Vegeta could tell something was wrong with Bulma but he really didn't want to bring anything up unless she spoke first. It was too much of a hassle to try to play the guessing game and talking while dinner wasn't one of the things Vegeta cared for. After dinner, Bulma and Trunks watched a movie together and then it was bed time. Bulma made sure she fell asleep early so when Vegeta came to bed they wouldn't be able to talk. She really didn't want anything to slip before she was sure of her thoughts. She left a note telling Vegeta not to wake her up for any reason because she had to get up early for an appointment. Vegeta read the note and wanted to do it just to bug Bulma but decided not to since that would give her a reason to bitch at him for the next week.
