First Trimester
"Bulma, where are you, woman?! I need your help in fixing that damned gravity chamber!" shouted Vegeta as he walked into Capsule Corp with a scowl on his face. Almost six or seven weeks had passed since he agreed with Bulma to try one time for a baby and Bulma began acting very odd. She wasn't her usually cheery self and she was constantly waking up in the middle of the night. "Bulma!!" shouted Vegeta again but that only got him a slap to the back of the head. "Ouch, who in the hell hit me?" growled Vegeta as he turned to find the source of his discomfort. His eyes widened and he backed away from the person he saw, his very angry wife.
"Just who in the hell do you think you are for shouting at your sleep-deprived, nauseous wife?!" screamed Bulma in her husband's face. She hadn't slept all night and since about 6:00 AM, when her mother started making breakfast, she had been nauseous. She thought it was the flu but it hadn't gone away yet so she was having the doctor come over later in the afternoon. "Do you have any idea how hungry I am but I'm too afraid that if I eat something that it might come back?! Now, the doctor is coming over and you are not going to go off and train, you hear me?! NO TRAINING!!" yelled Bulma one last time, then without warning ran pushing Vegeta to the ground, into the bathroom.
"I hate this side of Bulma so much," groaned Vegeta as he stood up. Right as Vegeta was about to go upstairs to shower, the doorbell rang. He growled and answered the door with a gruff "hello" to the man that stood on the other side of it. He noticed the black leather bag that the man was carrying and assumed he was the doctor. "Are you here to see Bulma?" asked Vegeta. The man nodded and stepped inside the house. "Bulma! Someone is here for you!" yelled Vegeta.
Bulma groaned as she wiped her mouth off with a paper towel. She tossed the towel away and emerged from the bathroom. She glared at her husband and then noticed the man. "Oh doctor! Thank you so much for coming by! I see you met my husband Vegeta," said Bulma in a cheery tone. Bulma led the doctor and Vegeta into the main room and offered the doctor a seat. "So, what is the problem Bulma?" asked the doctor, opening his medical bag. "Well, I've been waking up in the middle of the night and I've been nauseous and vomiting. I figure it's just the flu," said Bulma, grabbing Vegeta's hand. "I'm going to take some blood just to make sure that it isn't something worse alright?" said the doctor as he pulled out a syringe and walked over to Bulma. Bulma nodded and squeezed Vegeta's hand as the doctor stuck her with the needle and drew her blood. "So how long will it take?" asked Bulma, finally releasing Vegeta's hand to hold the gauze on the needle wound. "Maybe twenty minutes," said the doctor as he started testing the blood. Bulma nodded and patiently waited with her husband.
Twenty minutes later…
"Are the stupid tests done yet?" asked Vegeta, sitting down on the couch at the same time his wife did. "They most certainly are," said the doctor with a smile with a folder in his hand. "Well?" barked Vegeta, earning him a smack on the head. He growled and tried again. "What are the results of these tests?" asked Vegeta a little bit quieter. "Nothing is wrong with your wife, in fact, everything is right on track," said the doctor with a wider smile.
"Well, what are the results then?" asked Bulma, grabbing Vegeta's hand. "You are pregnant, Bulma. Congratulations!" said the doctor with the same smile. "Are you serious?!" asked Bulma in shock, nearly pulling Vegeta's arm out of it's socket when she jumped up. The doctor nodded and said," I would like you to come see me in a few months. I'll call you when the appointment gets close. I also would like to suggest getting pre-natal vitamins." With that said, the doctor left.
Vegeta sat there on the couch, absolutely stunned in either horror or joy, he was not quite sure yet, while his mate was jumping up and down with joy. "Trunks come here, son!" yelled Vegeta, trying to fake an air of happiness. When Trunks entered the room, Vegeta gave a small smile and said, " You are going to be a big brother, Trunks." He watched Trunks form a huge smile on his face and join his mother in jumping for joy. "Dad, aren't you excited?" asked Trunks when he noticed that his father was not as happy as his mother and him.
"I'm sure he is, Trunks. Your father just doesn't show his emotions the same way we do," said Bulma, smiling. There was nothing that could ruin this day. "Trunks, why don't you go and call Gohan, Chi-Chi, Goten, and Goku. I'm sure they would be excited to here about the new baby," said Bulma, walking towards Vegeta. As soon as Trunks had left the room, Bulma hugged Vegeta tightly. "I'm so happy Vegeta! Aren't you?" said Bulma, kissing his forehead. Her smile faltered slightly when she saw that her husband had no smile on his lips.
"I'm not really sure if I'm happy about it or not, Bulma. I apologize," said Vegeta as he hugged his wife close. "I love you, my dear, but I just can't say that I'm genuinely happy about this," he tried to explain. He was heartbroken when he saw Bulma start to cry. "Stop crying. I beg you, no tears!" he demanded and he gasped when Bulma slapped him right across the face and ran out of the room. "Dumb hormones," growled Vegeta as he rubbed his cheek. "I better get used to this, it's only going to get worse," he reminded himself and went out to train.
Three weeks later…
Vegeta was hiding in the gravity chamber now more than he was training in it. Bulma had gotten more moody since she became pregnant and she was meaner than normal. He also had to start watching his mouth around her. Every time he called her "woman", he was sleeping in a different room and if she was mad enough, he was sleeping on the couch. He definitely wished that something terrible would occur on Earth so something would keep him away from his moody wife.
The following week…
"Vegeta! The doctor will be here soon for my check-up! Get down here!" called Bulma with a big smile on her lips. She was excited because she was going to hear her baby today. She knew Vegeta was still unsure of his feelings towards this whole pregnancy but she was positive that as soon as he heard that heartbeat, he would fall in love with the idea.
Vegeta grumbled as he came down the stairs to see his wife absolutely glowing with happiness. He already noticed that she had a little bit of a rounder belly but was smart enough not to say anything for fear of getting in trouble with Bulma. "When is he supposed to be here?" he asked as he sat down in one of the armchairs. He heard the doorbell ring and heard Bulma answer the door. He watched the two of them come into the living room and take a seat. He watched the doctor set up the ultrasound equipment and became more anxious about the whole process. "Well, we are ready to begin," said the doctor as soon as the equipment was set up.
Bulma laid down on the couch, her heart filled with excitement. "Vegeta, come over here and listen to the baby's heartbeat!" exclaimed Bulma with a giggle. She watched her husband cross the room to kneel next to the couch. Bulma lifted her shirt up to expose her stomach and shivered when the cold jelly was placed on her stomach. When the doctor turned on the machine and she heard the heartbeat, she started to cry. She was so happy to hear the beautiful sound. She looked up at her husband and the tears flowed even more.
Vegeta's eyes widened as this glorious sound echoed in his ears. He had never heard such a wonderful sound in his whole life. Slowly, a smile formed on his lips, he was really happy about the pregnancy. "Bulma, I'm so, so sorry that I wasn't here when you were pregnant with Trunks," said Vegeta before he reached over and kissed his wife on the lips. "My angel, I love you so much," he said as he remembered the sound of his baby's heart beating.
