Chapter 11 Some people might have a hard time dealing with this chapter but it's something I have personally had to deal with. I am trying to overcome this by writing it in a story. Please let me know what you think.
Two weeks had gone by since the birth of the new baby, Bura. Everyone had been showering the tiny princess with love and affection. Usagi and Trunks had still yet to tell anyone about their tiny bundle of joy growing inside of her. It's not that they hadn't tried, it was just that everytime they tried to bring it up, they were interrupted. Even when they tried to tell Vegeta. It had been the three of them and a sleeping Bura. Just as Trunks was about to tell his father, his baby sister awoke. Her wailing alerted Bulma two rooms remembered that day fondly.
The couple lay cuddled in the bed. Usagi on her back, Trunks laying on his side. His hand on her belly talking sweet and tenderly to the small child hidden within there. The couple decided to go for a quick bout of training. Trunks and Usagi left the room, making their way to the training room. Usagi breathed a sigh of relief at the two them being alone. Trunks wrapped his arms around her.
"We have to tell someone, soon." Tears began to pour from her eyes. "I feel like I'm going to burst if I don't tell anyone. Oh Trunks!" She turned in his arms and hugged him tightly.
He hugged her tightly, trying to calm her. "Lover," he kissed her cheek, "we'll tell Dad soon. I promise. Let's train, it'll help you to relax."
The couple dropped into fighting stances and sparred. They moved fluidly in perfect unison. Trunks pulled his punches and kicks not wanting to hurt his mate and unborn child. He smiled brightly every time he thought of her and their baby. He landed a punch on her cheek. Shock crossed her eyes and face as she dropped to her knees. Her hand instantly going to her stomach. Trunks dropped beside her.
"Usagi, is something wrong?" Trunks was concerned.
"The baby." Usagi was seeing spots as she became light headed.
Trunks sniffed the air, he smelled blood, too much blood. He felt Usagi slump against him. Panic over took him, something was wrong with his mate. "Usa? Usagi?" He received a small moan in response.
He scooped her up and rushed to where his Father was. He ran into him in the hallway. Panic was etched all over his face. Vegeta looked from his son's face to his semi unconsious daughter-in-law. He could see the tears pricking the back of his sons eyes. Vegeta picked up the smell of blood, it had a different tinge to it. Vegeta looked at his son and moved in the direction of the medical room.
"Quickly brat." Vegeta walked quickly, his son right on his heels.
Trunks laid her down on the bed and stood by holding her hand tightly. Vegeta grabbed a machine pulling it towards the bed.
"Tell me what happened." Vegeta powered up the machine.
"I. . . We. . . You see." Trunks stammered, he was so worried about Usagi he couldn't think straight.
"I'm pregnant Vegeta-sama," came the weak response from the silver haired sayian.
"I can smell that much from the blood." He slid the machine over her belly and began scanning. "I want to know when it happened."
"Two weeks ago, we found out when Mom had Bura." Trunks ran his hand through her hair, trying to calm himself more than anything else.
The machine beeped signalling that it was done scanning. Usagi glanced over at Vegeta as he looked over the scans. His face dropping as he looked over them. His shoulders slumped as he turned to look at his son.
"Well Father? Everything is okay isn't? There's nothing wrong? The baby is fine, right?" Trunks asked nervously.
The second Usagi saw the look on her Prince's face she knew something was wrong. She felt the tears coming and didn't even want to stop them. She had felt odd when she woke that morning, but chocked it up to just being pregnant. However, now she felt empty and knew what he was going to say.
"No, Trunks," Vegeta sighed heavily. "Usagi." Vegeta couldn't find the words to say. He was almost a grandfather. He watched as his daughter broke down.
"You can't be serious Father!" He placed his hand on Usagi's stomach.
Usagi cried harder as Trunks placed his on her stomach, it only made her feel more empty. "He's not Trunks." Usagi sat up, throwing her legs over the edge of the bed.
Vegeta did the only thing he could do, he wrapped Usagi in his arms. She cried harder feeling her father in law holding her. He wrapped her arms around his kneck and scooped her up into his arms. "Trunks," Vegeta spoke, "we're going to your room. Now." He moved quickly. Trunks right on his tail.
He laid her on the bed and sat beside her. She had yet to release the Prince Vegeta's hand. Trunks curled up beside his mate, his hand absent mindedly touching her belly. Her tears spilled even more from her eyes, she pushed Trunks' hands away from her stomach.
"Don't Trunks." She sobbed. "I can't handle that, I can't handle. . . you touching me right now." Sobs wracked her body.
Trunks looked at his father, he couldn't leave his mate, he was in pain too. Vegeta nodded his head towards his son in a sympathetic manner. "Usa, let Trunks hold you. You need eachother." He pulled himself away from her. "Trunks," he nodded his head towards the door indicating Trunks follow him. The lavender haired teen followed after him. "Hold her, but don't touch her stomach."
Trunks dropped his head, trying to hide his tears from his father. "I don't mean to. I just got so use to it." His voice broke as his tears overcame him. "I got so use to talking to the baby."
His father pulled him into a tight hug, trying to console his son. He pulled away and shooed him towards Usagi and left the room. Trunks slowly made his way to the bed where his crying mate laid. He crawled into bed with her, wrapping his arms around her chest pulling her body flush against his. The couple cried together as they mourned the loss of their unborn child.
"It hurts Trunks," she sobbed heavily, "why does it hurt so much!"
He held his mate tighter as he buried his head in her hair. "I don't know Usagi, I don't know. We'll get through this somehow." Tears spilled ffrom is eyes as he talked to his mate.
"Trunks," Usagi whispered, "I'm sorry." She sobbed to him. "It's my fault, it has to be." Her words were almost unrecognizable through the tears.
Trunks shook his head no, the tears spilling more freely. "It's not your fault."
She turned in his arms facing him. "How can you say that?" Her fist pounded lightly on his chest. "The baby was inside of me! The problem has to be with me!"
Trunks held onto her, allowing her to release her frustrations. The couple held one another and cried. Hours turned into days, the couple never leaving their room. Trunks stayed beside his mate, only leaving her side when one of them used the restroom. His heart was breaking, when she wasn't asleep she was crying. His tears had run dry and now all he could do was hold onto his mate and support her. A knock resounded on the door. Trunks looked down at his mate, making sure she was asleep. He pulled himself from her arms and made his way to the door. Upon opening the door he saw his father standing there with a huge plate of food piled high. He stood bback from the doorway allowing his father entrance. Vegeta looked over to the bed at his sleeping daughter in law. He set the food down on the desk in the room.
"How is she holding up?" He leaned against the wall looking over his son and his son's mate.
"Not much better, she still hasn't stopped crying." Trunks' eyes softened as he looked at his sleeping mate's form. "She won't eat, and she won't let me help her. I can't help her!" Trunks' energy level spiked.
Vegeta put his hand on his son's shoulder drawing his attention. "Goten is waiting outside your room. Go spar with him. I'll look over Usagi." Trunks opened his mouth to retaliate but Vegeta silenced him with a stern look. "You need some time to unwind and relax. You aren't going to be any good to her if you keep going like this."
"Thank you Father." Trunks gave a small smile and walked out the door.
Vegeta picked up the tray of food and moved to the bed. Setting the tray down on the bed side table, he sat beside Usagi. He gently touched her shoulder and shook her softly trying to rouse her. She let out a small moan as he started to wake her. She rolled over and looked up at Vegeta. Fresh tears came to her eyes. He pulled her into a sitting position and into his arms.
"Vegeta-sama." She wrapped her arms around his chest, causing her to feel like she was six year old girl again.
"Hush," he pulled her head to his chest to comfort her. "Listen to me girl, if you keep going on like this you're only going to hurt yourself and Trunks. The way you are continually refusing to eat and do nothing but cry is hurting you, both of you. Your family is starting to notice your absence. I can only make so many excuses for why you and Trunks haven't been around." She looked up at the Sayian No Ouji, his words hitting her with such force. "Will you eat somehing? Trunks told me you haven't eaten in days." He watched as she nodded her head and pulled away from him. She sat up against the headboard of the bed and allowed Vegeta to place the tray across her lap. He sat back and watched her eat slowly. A small smile touching his lips, he was going to help her and his son the best he could.
End Chapter 11! I know it's a sad moppy part of the story but all of life can't be happy. Be forewarned, it will probably continue for the next chapter or two as Usagi and Trunks deal with the pain.
