Ch 90

"Wow, that's—that's just so sad," said Bulla as she gripped her tea in her hands, looking at her mother.

"Well he passed peacefully. That's all that really matters," said Bulma before she sipped her tea.

"I'm sure spending time in that timeline really makes you think about what's important in life," said Uub.

"It's true," said Bulma. "It's hard to imagine your children outliving you, and it's something I might have to face in the future. Thinking that I could possibly outlive my children, is the most painful of all."

"Are you talking about Trunks?" asked Bulla. "Mom, you don't know what's going to happen. This other timeline has taught you that but we can't live in the what if's and always looking over our shoulder for bad things to happen. We need to live in the moment and take everyday as it comes. You said they wanted us to be happy, and it's good advice mom," said Bulla as she squeeze her hand in hers and smiled.

"Our daughter makes a good point," said Vegeta. "It's time to move on and that timeline will as well," he said as he made his way to the fridge for something to eat before his workout. "It is never wise to dwell too much on what has happened because it has the potential to consume you."

"I know," said Bulma. "I'm trying to let go and make peace in my own life," she said as she saw her husband sit across from her with many plates of food. She smiled as she found her hand covered by Vegeta's. "So, how was spending time with your grandparents?"

"It was nice," smiled Bulla. "Grandpa gave Uub a tour of his lab and Capsule Corp. They've been bonding. Grandma has enjoyed showing Uub her photo albums of her cruises with grandpa. I have to admit it was fun running Capsule when you were all gone, and grandpa was there to supervise of course. Right now I'm sure they're still sleeping in their room."

"Well," smiled Bulma. "I'm glad you two had a good time with them. Your brother and Goten went right to their house when we got back here."

"Don't worry so much Bulma," said Vegeta. "It's obvious they needed time alone together."

"I don't blame them. It must be hard to see a different version of themselves in another timeline," said Uub.

"Well I don't know about all of you but I'm excited about them getting married. I was so surprised, but I'm really happy for them," said Bulla.

"Me to," said Uub.

"Well I plan to make it the best wedding they ever have," Bulma smiled. "There's still so much to do, and I know it's months away. With everyone's help, I know we can make their day special."

The night brought no sleep for the two engaged demi-saiyans as they lied awake in their bed. The silence gave way to their separate thoughts about the time they spent in Future Trunks' timeline. Although they left that world on a positive note, the sadness still lingered in their minds and in their hearts.

Goten rolled over to face his deep in thought mate who was lying on his back and smiled. "Trunks, I think we've been thinking too long about this. We have to let it go for our peace of minds."

Trunks sighed as he looked at his mate. "I know you're right. It's getting us nowhere. We can't change what happened in that timeline. We have to think about our future."

"Smartest thing you've said today," Goten smiled as he lied his head on Trunks' bare chest, feeling Trunks' arm around him. "Besides I want to concentrate on something happy like our wedding day."

"That's months away, but I am pretty excited. I know our families will be happy for us."

"Do you think Gohan will change his mind by the time it comes around?"

"Anything's possible chibi. Besides I'm sure this trip to Future Trunks' timeline will give him something to think about. I don't think he'd hurt you in that way. I'm optimistic that he'll be there, or Videl and Pan will never forgive him."

"What about your grandparents?"

"Chibi," Trunks said, looking down at his mate resting on his chest. "What happened about not thinking too much?"

"Uh oh sorry," Goten blushed. "Maybe we should try and sleep now," he said as returned off the lamp on his bedside.

Trunks had something else in mind but didn't want to seem insensitive. "Sounds like a good idea." Turning off the lamp on his bedside, he settled in comfortably with his mate in his arms. Before he could close his eyes, he felt Goten's hand on his cheek so he looked right into his mate's eyes. "What is it chibi?"

"I know what you wanted to do tonight Trunks," Goten said as he saw his mate blush in the dark.

"I want to Trunks but not tonight. We're haven't gotten that much sleep with everything that has happened. I would like to be more awake for sex instead of falling asleep half way through it."

Trunks laughed. "That would be funny to see, but I understand chibi. I love you," he said as he kissed him softly on the lips. Goodnight."

"I love you to, goodnight Trunks," he said as he kissed him on the cheek. "I hope you have sweet dreams instead of nightmares."

"With you by my side, how could I have nothing but good dreams?"
