'I seriously cannot take this anymore.' Vegeta thought as he lay in his bed staring up at the ceiling. Bulma was up for the third time that night. Apparently dinner hadn't agreed with her stomach, or "with the baby" as she liked to say. That statement drove Vegeta crazy and so did her constant puking. That's all it had been for the whole month after she found out she was pregnant and she always seemed to have to get up a half hour before Vegeta would get up for his normal training. And just like today, he would just lay there and stare at the ceiling. He did try to help her a few times but that came to an end when she hadn't made the toilet and vomited all over him.

Finally Bulma came back to bed. It was still early so they could still get some decent amount of sleep in. She laid down next to Vegeta but she didn't touch him, she knew he was getting fed up with her and didn't blame him one bit. If she could have she would leave her own body right now just so she wouldn't have to puke anymore. Vegeta threw the blankets back over her and closed his eyes. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah, I think I'm done." She turned over so she could look at Vegeta. "I'm really sorry for keeping you up." All Vegeta replied with was a half asleep grunt. Bulma just smiled and they both fell back to sleep.

"DAMN-IT!" Trunks screamed as he ran from his room just before a huge explosion went off in his room. He stood outside the door looking in as the black cloud moved out towards the hallway. Vegeta showed up in his lounge pants and Bulma came running down the hall while wrapping her robe around her.

"What the hell are you doing?" Vegeta yelled while he looked into the room.

"Are you okay Trunks?" Bulma asked, grabbing Trunks up and hugging him.

Vegeta just looked at the both of them waiting for Trunks to answer his question. He finally was able to sleep for more than three hours and now his son is making things explode in his room at six in the morning. He wanted to know why his son was even up that early in the morning. What twelve year old actually likes waking up early in the morning? "I'm waiting on you Trunks" Vegeta snapped and Trunks turned and looked at his father. " I would like to know what you have done to your room and why you are even awake at this time in the morning." He demanded.

Trunks looked down at his feet. "I was working on something and lost track of time. I didn't realize I had hooked something up wrong and that's when it exploded. Sorry dad."

"What were you making?" Bulma said as she stepped closer to the room but Vegeta stopped her by putting out his arm. The black smoke seemed to still be hovering in the room and he didn't want her walking in there with no protection. "I'm just looking in Vegeta."

"You're close enough woman. You aren't going any closer." He turned and looked at Trunks. "Well what were you working on?"

"It was a surprise for, um… well… it's just something I was trying to put together." Trunks said as he started to turn red. "I just thought it would be cool to build something for you for once mom. But I'm obviously not smart enough to get it to work right. I've been up for two day straight trying to get it to work right."

Bulma didn't know what else to do but smile. Her son was turning out just like her. He was trying to come up with his own inventions and he actually caused an explosion not because of his Saiyan bloodline but because he was working with mechanical machinery. She pulled Trunks back over to her and gave him a huge hug and a kiss on the forehead which caused Trunks to moan "Mooom. Stop I messed up. I didn't even do anything right."

"I know, but I'm so proud of you for trying!" She said as she let go of Trunks and tears formed in her eyes. It shouldn't have been this emotional for her but for the reason that she had forgotten about at the moment, it caused her to just start bawling into his shoulder. Trunks looked up at his father who had quickly turned to see what Bulma was crying about. Both man and boy could not figure out why she was crying. Nothing had happened, everyone was okay, and Trunks' room and furniture was destroyed.

"Bulma. Why don't you go back to bed? Trunks go sleep on the pull out couch or in one of the guest rooms, I honestly don't care where." Vegeta commanded. He closed the door to Trunks' room so no more of the smoke could get out of the room. He'd deal with Trunks later for the destruction and the disturbance he had created. Bulma was wiping her eyes as Trunks walked down the hall to the stairs and Vegeta had started to push his wife back to their bedroom. He really wanted to rest a little longer, even if he got another hour he'd be happy. He usually didn't want to sleep in but after not getting decent sleep for the last month he really just wanted to rest.

Later that day, while Bulma was busy down in the lab, Vegeta decided to take Trunks for his punishment. Of course it was training, but not any normal training, he was going to be in the Gravity Room with Vegeta on the forces that he chose. No wimpy times gravity, not this time. Vegeta was getting sick of Trunks causing problems and this was the only thing he could think of to do. So for several hours, Trunks stayed in the gravity room with no complaint training with his father. He understood why he was there but at the same time it seemed unfair that he wasn't really causing trouble but building something. Numerous times while he and his father were sparing he would start thinking about what he had done wrong with the connections of his wiring and slam, Vegeta's fist would go into his gut or into his face.

"What's wrong son, can't take 350 times gravity? Are you turning weak on me boy?" Vegeta said as he stood over Trunks who was trying to pull himself off the ground for the seventh time.

"No.." Trunks replied as he finally pulled himself upright. He braced himself and took a deep breath as he closed his eyes. He pulled all the energy he could to his center and then let it explode toward Vegeta who stepped to the side of the move like it was nothing.

Vegeta circled his son slowly, "You should be able to do better than that son. How pathetic. You have your mind stuck in your books like your mother, don't you? Wake up and fight me Trunks."

Trunks snapped his eyes to Vegeta's, he hardly ever said his name. Was he egging him on? Was he trying to get him wrilled up or just get his attention from the other things that was on his mind? Trunks couldn't keep his mind straight though, he wanted to take on his father's challenge but at the same time he couldn't stop playing with the riddle that was in his head about what had happened early in the morning. Vegeta could see Trunks was having some focusing problems as he flew up in the air, with ease, and shot little pin-prick type ki blast at Trunks. More to bother him and hopefully urge him into fighting than anything else. Trunks kept taking steps to turn himself to look at his father but he was moving too quickly for him to move in the 350x gravity.

Slowly the frustration built up inside of Trunks and he couldn't hold it any more. His fist clenched and he screamed. Trunks had gone into super state, and Vegeta just smirked, his plan had worked. Trunks' mind was going crazy, he just wanted to shut his father up and make him leave him alone. Goten's father would spar with him but not ridicule in the process, so why did his father do this to him? He wanted to study and build things like his mother. Why was that such a problem with his father? All of this came rushing through him and he actually collided with his father. His fist went straight into his gut and caught Vegeta by surprise. Instantly Vegeta went super and grabbed his son's arms so he couldn't move and he brought his leg up to collide with Trunks' side.

Trunks hurled through the air and landed on the wall of the Gravity Room. He was done. Vegeta was just about as surprised as he was. It reminded Trunks of the time when he was little and he barely got his father in the face and he got smacked back. That day they got to go out and play, not this time. He was older and it wasn't that easy to make him feel better. Trunks charged his attack and screamed "BIG TREE CANON!"

While filling the room with his attack he managed to get the gravity to turn off, which made his attack take off and left Vegeta overcompensating everything. The sudden switch was perfect for Trunks to make his escape. He flew out the door and took off as fast as he could towards his friends house. He just wanted to get away from his father, he was so frustrated and his mind so clouded that he just wanted to get away. He would call his mother when he got there so she knew where he was but he didn't give two more seconds thoughts to his father.

Vegeta quickly flew up in the air due to the gravity turning off and was hit by Trunks' Big tree cannon attack. It really didn't do too much damage to him but he was pretty impressed with the strength of his son. His badgering had caused Trunks to pull on his powers like Vegeta had wanted. After the smoked cleared he noticed his son was gone. Doing a quick search he could tell Trunks was quickly speeding out into the country side. He thought about taking off after him because he was supposed to be serving his punishment but instead he let him go. If he wanted to run away, let him. What did he care if Trunks was gone?

Bulma took a break from the new blue prints she was working on. She walked over to her monitors and switched them on. Figuring she could catch Vegeta and Trunks training to see how much they had improved. She really loved when she saw the two of them together. Something about seeing the two of them bonding made it seem like she had a normal family. But while scanning over the cameras, she noticed that Vegeta was standing alone in the Gravity Room practicing kata in 500x gravity. She moved the camera's around several time before feeling a little worried about where he son was.

"Vegeta?" Bulma asked while she pushed the button for the intercom.

In a low grumble, "What Bulma? I'm busy right now."

"I don't see Trunks, did you let him take a break?"

"When have I ever allowed for a break?" He said as he turned his face to the screen to look upon her face. "Have you ever known me to take any pause in my training? I am not so weak that I cannot train for hours."

Bulma was completely shocked by the hatred that showed on his face. "I think I'm missing something. How about we have lunch together? I really am getting hungry and I haven't eaten anything since last night."

"What do you mean you haven't eaten since last night?"

Hesisitating for a moment, "Uh, well when we got up I just came straight to the lab and started working. I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat." She said shrugging.

She watched Vegeta walked over to the controls and turn off the gravity and said. "Meet me in the kitchen woman."

About ten minutes later, Bulma walked into the kitchen and saw Vegeta sitting at the table with his head on his hands. She stood and looked at him wondering what was bothering him so much. Just as she got done thinking this, Vegeta answered her as if he read her mind. "Why do you have to torture me? Why can't you just make sure you sustain yourself? You are carrying my child and you aren't even keeping yourself feed."

Bulma looked at Vegeta slightly confused. "Since when did you get so concerned about how much or when I ate? I just wasn't hungry that's all. It really isn't that big a deal so you don't need to twist it into me not taking care of myself. Besides, why are you so worried about this child," she said as she put her hand on her stomach, "and you won't even tell me about Trunks?"

Vegeta decided to ignore most of what she was saying and only answered the part he wanted to. "Trunks left. He went over to his idiot friends house so I really don't give two shits about him right now. And I believe I have every right to be concerned with the care and nutrition of my wife and my child she is bearing."

Bulma went over to the kitchen and pulled out a loaf of bread, sliced turkey, tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup and mustard. "What did Trunks do this time?" She quickly started to put some sandwiches together for the two of them to eat. Vegeta got up from the table and pulled down some plates and glasses and set them on the table.

When he returned to her side, he leaned backwards against the counter and said, "All I know is his stupid brains are like yours. He pulled a swift little trick and took off without a word."

"Oh so just like you?" She giggled and piled the sandwiches on one plate. Vegeta just glared at her but stayed silent. "That's what I thought, your son is turning out just as stubborn as you but I'm glad to hear he actually has brains and doesn't have his mind stuck only on one thing."

They moved over to the table and ate in silence. Neither one really had anything else to say and when they were finished, Bulma gave Vegeta a kiss on cheek and they silently went back to their own quarters.

Trunks arrived at Goten's window and knocked on it lightly. The window opened and he heard, "Heey Trunks! How are you? Wah, whats the matter? You have your father's look on right now." It was Goku. Trunks stood there slightly confused because he swore he was at Goten's window.

"Oh hello Goku. Can Goten come out?" He asked in a monotone voice.

"Well him and I were playing a game." Goku walked out the window and stood next to Trunks trying to make him look him in the eyes. 'He won't look at me just like Vegeta doesn't. Looks like someone made him pretty mad.' "How about I help you out Trunks?"

Sighing, Trunks looked up at Goku, he didn't want to look at him, he didn't want to talk to him but he obviously wasn't going to get away from him without talking a little bit. "I'm just really pi..frustrated. I was hoping that maybe I could hang out with Goten for a little while until I feel like going home. I'm sorry I just showed up out of nowhere."

Goku laughed awkwardly, 'Man talking to him is just as difficult as Vegeta'. "Really its okay. How about you come inside and have lunch with us. Chi-Chi and Videl are making us a special lunch today. Whadda say Trunks?"

Just at the moment, Goten came hurtling through the window and collided with the back of his father. "OWW." He said as he rubbed his head. "Sorry dad, I was just going to let you know that Mom and Videl are…Trunks? Holy cow what are you doing here?" He said with a laugh.

Trunks looked down because he didn't want to reply and Goku could see that so he put his hand on his shoulder and said "I invited him as a surprise for you. That's why I went out the window." Goku said with a giant laugh. "How about we go in and have lunch? I'm starving and its smelling so good!" So the three walked into the already busy kitchen, and when they walked in Chi-Chi shot Goku a dirty look for the extra person that was now going to be joining.
