Achey Hearts
Goten didn't want to make him mad so he did as told. An hour later the doctor came out and said the words no one in a hospital wants' to hear.
"I have bad news"
&&&
"Your daughter has a very rare disease that affects her blood it depletes her white blood cells and red also her blood is just lacking protein and nutrients that it needs ".
"She has cancer". Bulma said feeling her heart fall out of her chest. "No it's not cancer I don't know what to call it yet I heard of it once but it was on some distant planet with a half breed alien".
The whole family went cold. Could this disease be threatening her life because of her heritages? Vegeta looked at the doctor he knew the name of it but he never thought his little princess would be plagued and terrorized by it.
"They called it the Deserter Disease". Vegeta said looking at his tearing wife.
"What Vegeta why is it called that". Bulma said trying not to fall apart in the waiting room.
"The name was made when species started to mate outside of their race and deserted their own". Bulma couldn't hold it in anymore she collapsed into his chest she couldn't stop crying.
The doctor felt for the family and told them she was awake and could see her anytime they felt like it.
Trunks was speechless he felt like he couldn't talk or breath or even function for the most part. His little baby sister was sick with a disease and he was helpless.
Goten just flopped down in a chair and held his head in his hand. He wanted to go see her and hug her and tell her everything was ok but he couldn't Vegeta wasn't going to let him close to her.
Saneya just looked at Trunks and talked to him but he wouldn't reply.
"I'm going to go see her". Bulma said getting a grip on her emotions. Bulma grabbed Vegeta's hand and pulled him to the room where the doctor was standing at.
"I haven't informed her of her condition I was waiting on the two of you". Bulma nodded and they walked into the room.
Bulla greeted them with a smile. "I was starting to get worried that you guys weren't here yet". She said hugging her mother. Vegeta looked down at her and gave her a half smile.
"Mom you look like someone just died what's up". She said putting her hand on top of hers.
"Bulla you have a very rare disease that is threatening your life. It's tearing down your blood cells and leaving your blood with no nutrients".
Bulla's face went white as her sheets. "I have cancer". She said covering her mouth as tears bellowed her eyes. "No is not cancer it's called-".
"I'm not a stupid idiot doctor I know what cancer is and what it does and how it works your telling me I have leukemia". She said arguing with the doctor.
"Bulla shut up and listen he isn't degrading your knowledge". Vegeta said and she replied with a nod.
"Your father has informed me it's called Deserter Disease that encores when you have two different foreign heritages".
"Your shitting me I'm diseased because I'm a Saiyan because I different I'm going to die". She couldn't believe it. One minute she was living it up on the field cheering next she was in a hospital bed with someone telling her she was going to die.
"We have the necessary medicine and machines to help you shots and what not". He said looking at her charts.
"How long do I have". Bulla asked looking down at the white sheets. Both parents heads shot up to the doctor they never let that cross their minds. The good doctor sighed and gave her an answer.
"Maybe 2-3 years before the diseased blood wears out your organs". She nodded sadly. "I'm guessing there isn't a cure".
He sadly shook his head no. "If any it would be all the natural minerals that your blood needs to keep your body running". He left out the room and left the family to their selves.
"Mom, Daddy I'm really scared but I don't want anyone to know about this I want to finish high school as normal as I can". She said switching her gaze between them.
"Ok is there anything you want from home or to eat". Bulma said looking at her still teary eyes. Bulla just smiled.
"Yeah I want my pillow my Victoria Secret PJ's and two double whoppers with extra cheese and a sprite just pack like I'm going to a sleep over or something". Bulma admired her daughter sprite to all of this and how she was not going to let it faze her. They were walking to the door.
"Oh and mom if Goten's out there send him in to see me". Vegeta growled at her request. Bulma nudged him in the ribs and agreed.
A few minutes a later there was a knock on the door. "Go Away I'm not dressed". She said laughing at her reply to the knock.
Goten was about to walk away when he thought about it.
"Funny Bulla". He said walking over to her bed. She smiled at him and opened her arms to him. He gave her a hug and she rested her head on his shoulder. He felt a tear on his shirt and pulled away.
"Thank you the nurse told me about the Q&A and a how you didn't want to leave my side". She thought about how the nurse told her he knew the answer to every question and I do mean every.
"Yeah it was nothing I just wanted you to be ok". He said pulling up a chair to her bed. "I'm sorry that you're sick". He felt a hard slap on his arm. "Don't you dare apologize to me you had nothing to do with this and don't start that I'm a helpless little girl because I'm not I'm a Saiyan and I not going down without a damn good fight".
He smiled at her spunk and determination she had he admired it.
"Yes ma'am".
"Goten you're my best friend and I love you so much and I can't get through this without you I need you there for me more than ever". She said looking into his onyx eyes.
"I can do that I promise I can".
She raised her self up and kissed him on the cheek. "How's your crazy hill billy girlfriend". She said folding her arms. Goten hit his self in the head.
"I haven't even talked to her she's going to kill me". He said pulling out his phone that read 17 missed calls. Bulla rolled her eyes and sighed. As Goten gave her puppy dog eyes.
"Fine call her send my snot face brother in here ok on your way out".
"Oh and take it easy on him he feels really bad I think he thinks that throwing popcorn at you triggered this".
She made a crazy look and Goten just shrugged his shoulders.
"Hey Baby sis" Trunks said entering the room with his Fiancé in hand. She sat up in the bed and looked at him. "Well are you guys going to hug me or stare at me neither remotely bothers me".
She said folding her arms. Trunks gave his little sister a hug as did Saneya. "So you asked for the Presidential Suite I see". She said looking at the spacious and comfortable hospital room.
"No it comes with the package". She replied laughing and looked at her sad brother.
"Come on Trunks lighten up a little laugh smile something". She said looking at him.
'This is my entirely fault I wished this on you basically". He felt guilty and horrible.
"Shut you big baby you said break a leg not het a horrible disease that no one's ever heard of". She said throwing her hands up in frustration.
"She's right Trunks so ease up on yourself". Saneya said leaning on the wall. Goten came back into the room.
"I got to go ok Andria is freaking out and I can barely get a word in side way". Bulla frowned a little but smiled when he hugged her.
'I'll see you tomorrow Bulla gets some sleep ok". He said kissing her on the cheek. 'I'll try to". She said kissing him back.
"I'll see you Trunks". He said giving him a man hug. "I be seeing you Goten tell the physco I said hi to" She said hugging her to and leaving.
Goten's Apartment
As soon as Goten walked into the door he seen a candle lit that wax was melting and a bottle of wine and food on the table.
"Damn Goten".
"Babe is that you". Andria said with her country accent. She was wearing a strapless purple and blue dress that stopped at her mid thigh.
"Yeah it's me". Goten caught a glimpse and seen that she had planned something special.
"Where have you been Goten I was worried sick about you and no one was answering my calls or nutin"? She said hugging him.
"I was at the hospital with Bulla she found out she has a disease" She pulled away and looked him in the eyes since they were around the same height.
"I'm sorry I know how good of friends ya'll are is she ok". She said sitting with him on the couch. "Yeah she ok with it she determined not to let her get the best of her".
"That's good". She said kissing his neck. He didn't feel right what he was doing. She sat on his lap facing him and pulled off his polo shirt. He gave in and kissed her back laying her down on the couch. He kissed her and then he thought of Bulla if she was ok. She seemed sad when he said he needed to go.
"Goten".
"Oh what's up"? He said looking down at her.
"Your acting like a zombie do I not please you anymore". She said sadly.
"Baby that's not it I just have a lot on my mind and I'm tired". He said lying on her chest wrapping his muscular arms around her back.
"Is it Bulla on your mind or something else"? She said looking down to him lying on her boobs. He knew she was kind of jealous of Bulla because he spent a lot of his time with her so he thought of the best response.
"It's working and school and us just a little bit of everything". Hell it wasn't a lie he was getting a degree in the pharmaceutical field. He worked at Best Buy as the manager. She did pretty much drive him crazy with the questions and trust issues and everything.
"Well go to bed while I'll clean everything up". She said getting up off the couch. He kissed her and went to their room. He lived in a very nice apartment it had a nice view of Satan city they both weren't too far from home. She modeled and occasionally asked her rich father for money when rent was late. But he enjoyed the life they had.
Goten took off his pants and just lie on the bed and let the days thoughts run through his head. But his thoughts would revert back to a certain blue hair blue eyes 17 year-old. He picked up his phone and wondered if she still had it.
After the third ring he was about to hang up when a sleepy voice came over the speaker.
"Hello". A sleepy Bulla said.
"Bulla I didn't mean to wake you I'll just call you later ok". He said about to hang up.
"No I'm just tired from the medicine they gave me I want to talk to you".
"Ok how are you feeling right now"? He said flipping on his back.
"Like I'm sitting on cloud nine smoking weed". She said holding her stomach the medicine made her nausea too. She vomited up that delicious whopper her mom got her.
He giggled and just listened to her. She wanted to mess with him a little. "So sexy man what are you wearing". She said trying to contain the laughter.
Goten pulled the phone away to make sure he was really talking to Bulla Briefs. "You really are high aren't you"? He said rising on eyebrow.
"No just pulling your leg". She said laughing. "Good because I thought I called some sex line and I don't want that on my bill Andy will flip".
"Speak of the devil where is she I know she wouldn't want you talking to me at four in the morning". She said turning on her side. "In the kitchen cleaning up".
"Bulla are you as scared as me about all of this". He said looking to the ceiling. "Hell yeah I'm terrified but I don't want everyone else to be so I'm keeping positive so don't tell my secret"
"It's safe with me just know I'm here and I'll listen anytime you want to talk".
"I know I can count on you Goten you've been there for me as long as I can remember".
"Yea I remember changing you pampers and chasing you around naked trying to but the pamper back on". He laughed remember when they were younger.
"I'm sure it's not the same if I run around naked nowadays". She said as the medicine was trying her out. "Yeah ok it was cute then but now I'm sure guys and old men alike would drop dead".
"I wouldn't mind if we did that again". She said not thinking about what she said. It was ok because Goten sensed she was fighting to stay away but he knew she needed to rest.
"You should get some sleep ok".
"Ok only for you night Daffy". She said chuckling. "Goodnight Bugsy". He clicked his phone off to see his wallpaper. It was of him and Bulla at Ice Cream pallor with ice on their noses making funny faces.
He laughed at it and closed his eyes and smiled.
