It's been a while hasn't it? I had this chapter halfway done a while ago when the laptop I had it on crashed and I couldn't get it back. I hope you enjoy this chapter and I'm working on chapter 3 as you are reading this. I was thinking of expanding the prequel to this story, "I Love You." It was just supposed to be a one-shot, but I think I should explain more as to why Vegeta left and how Bulma took it. But that's just an idea. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter of "I Love You Too!"
It seemed as though the main lobby was made out of glass. It really did impress him. Vegeta stood outside the automatic rotating doors of the hospital. He knew Bulma was somewhere in one of the hundreds of rooms inside.
What the heck was he doing here anyway? The woman and the boy were distractions. That's why he left in the first place. So then why did he cut his training short to come back? Vegeta told himself it was for a break, for his body to rest. He failed to realized that he almost never took breaks from training. Especially when others were concerned.
Vegeta walked through the doors and up to the reception desk. The person behind the counter was an older red headed woman who kept her eyes locked on the computer monitor. She had red 50's style cat-eye glasses with bright rhinestones embedded at the top corners. Vegeta waited politely for the red headed woman to acknowledge him. All he heard was the sound of quiet clicking as her fingers tapped across the keyboard.
"Err... Excuse me. Ma'dam?" Vegeta awkwardly asked. He tried to put out a relaxed vibe by standing as rigid as possible with stiff arms and balled up fists.
The woman behind the desk looked up at Vegeta through the top of her glasses.
"Yes?" she replied.
"I've come to visit Bulma Brief."
The woman held out her hand and continued typing with the other. "Let's see it."
"See what?" Vegeta asked through gritted teeth.
The woman stopped what she was doing and plopped her arms on the desk. She adjusted her glasses as she spoke.
"Sir, I need to see your press pass. There are only certain newspapers and tv personalities that Ms. Brief will have contact with."
"What? No! I am not with the bloody press!"
"Then what are you doing here sir? We don't let anyone up on the baby floor without proper ID."
"I am the the father to Bulma Brief's child. That boy is mine."
The receptionist looked at him through the top of her glasses. She was trying to figure out if this man was telling her the truth. Bulma Briefs had released a press statement saying she would not release the name of the baby's father and that she planned to be a single mother.
"Right... Well, let me call her room and see if you have her permission to visit."
Vegeta gruffly crossed his arms and stood menancingly over her. It was never his intention to intimidate her, not on purpose on anyway. Years of fighting all over the universe had made his disposition unnerving to others by default. His scary attitude had uneased the red head. Instead of calling the room, she called the security desk.
"Hi. Yes, could you check and see if a Vegeta may visit Bulma Brief? He says... he's the father. Yes, thank you." Before she hung up she pressed two numbers and a red button. The code for emergencies.
"May I see my woman and child now?"
"Sir, you are going to have to wait until I get a call back or someone comes to escort you.
"I am not leaving this spot until I am told where that woman in staying! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? You are moronic if you do not understand that your job is to give direction when you are told to!"
To make his point, he pounded his fist into the desk. The marble cracked underneath his fist.
The red headed receptionist's eyes widened as she saw the damage inflicted on the expensive material. Her mouth opened slightly as though she want to say something... anything. But her words were stuck in her throat.
Vegeta could feel his anger threatening to spill over. Before he could threaten the woman again, he heard the sound of shoes echoing in the hallway. Looking over, he saw two security guards running straight at him.
"That's him!" yelled one of the men in uniform.
Vegeta let them run over to him.
"C'mon shorty. Let's go," said a security guard as he placed his hand on Vegeta's shoulder and forced him to turn around toward the revolving doors. The other security guard placed his hand on Vegeta's other shoulder as well.
The situation made Vegeta smile. 'If they only knew,' Vegeta thought to himself. 'That I could easily kill them.'
When the trio reached the outside, both guards shoved Vegeta.
"Don't come back in here again! Ya hear!" yelled one of the guards firmly. The guards patted each other on the back for a job well done.
Vegeta turned slowly around. The guards didn't bother looking back at the trash they threw out. A second later, Vegeta was gone. By now the men were making their way back to the revolving doors. One guard stopped in his tracks.
A young boy waiting in the lobby for his friend started recording the incident since Vegeta's outburst at the desk and saw Vegeta's disappearing act.
"Nick? What's the matter?" asked one guard.
Nick pointed at the revolving doors. The other guard followed his confused gaze. Standing behind the spinning glass doors was a smirking Vegeta.
"H-how the hell did he get back in hospital? ... Gabe?" Nicked asked.
Gabe stood there flabbergasted. There was no possible human way someone could move that fast. By now the small commotion being caused caught the attention of a couple of people in the lobby.
"This has to be a trick... a test. Twins or something." Gabe said.
"Right," Nick agreed. "A test."
While still smiling, Vegeta sent a small pulse of electricity into the control panel, causing it short out and the doors to stop spinning. Nick and Gabe ran toward the doors and began banging away, demanding to be let back in.
Vegeta walked over to the main desk again. This time he was going to lift the damn woman by her neck if she didn't give him the information he needed. The closer he got, he started to realize the red head wasn't behind her computer anymore. He looked around the area, but no one seemed to be manning the station. He hopped behind the counter to see if he could find his own information.
"LET US BACK IN!" yelled Nick and Gabe together.
Vegeta bent down to get a better look at the monitor. He minimized the word document the woman had been typing. He scanned each desktop icon until he found what he thought might help him. Meanwhile, some hospital visitors were trying to get the revolving doors to open again.
Vegeta searched the program he opened. Nothing seemed to tell him where Bulma was. He stood up and rubbed his eyes. He wished he could threaten to smash the thing and it would tell him what he wanted. The sound of static on walkie-talkies snapped him out of annoyance. He knew more guards were on their way. Vegeta growled. He knew he could blast them away, but he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
An idea popped in Vegeta's head. The Brief's family were wickedly rich. Maybe they were in some kind of suite. Just as he was going to refine his search on the hospital program, he heard the familiar sound of fancy shoes tapping the floors. This time a group of five guards had come to subdue him. He looked down at the computer to decide if he should try to search with the guards coming. The guards started to speed up. Vegeta bared his teeth in disgust.
One guard in particular was running ahead of the others. This young man planned to tackle the troublemaker behind the reception desk. Vegeta smiled. He waited until the boy was in mid-air to phase out. Instead of tackling Vegeta, the guard flew into the stainless steel trash can that was bolted into the floor. The impact knocked the boy out cold.
"Dude. Did you freakin' see that?" asked a teenage boy who had just come from visiting his mother.
"See what? Dude freaking disappeared! I got it all on my camera though!" exclaimed his friend.
Vegeta found his way outside. He was floating outside the hospital. If he wasn't frustrated before, he definitely was frustrated now. And angry.
"Damn that woman for making everything difficult. Where the hell is she?"
Vegeta floated for a few minutes outside the hospital before he realized he could feel her and the boy out. His sixth sense spread out and almost immediately could feel her familar energy and another energy that felt completely brand new. He flew toward the two energies. Down below there was a flurry of activity as guards and police officers were scrambling to find Bulma Brief's stalker who apparently was trying to get into her room posing as the baby's father. No one figured to look up.
Vegeta came to Bulma's second floor window. Inside were Bulma's mother and father standing over the hospital bassinet. He assumed they were fussing over his son. 'Feh,' he thought to himself. 'A boy doesn't need so much smothering.' He watched as Dr. Brief lifted a small bundle and very carefully cradled it in his arms. Bulma's father kissed his grandson on the cheek. Trunks made a face and turned away from the tickles of the mustache.
Vegeta heard Bunny, Bulma's mother, give her husband a warning of some kind to be careful. The doctor barely registered a thing his wife said as he walked out the room with his pride and joy in his arms. When he left the room with the boy, Vegeta looked over at Bulma. She was sound asleep with her arm over her eyes. Bunny walked over to her to push a few strands of aquamarine hair from Bulma's forehead. She seemed to be okay, which slightly puzzled him.
Vegeta's mind was working a plan that would help him get inside when he heard yelling from down below.
"LOOK UP THERE! IT'S HIM! IT'S HIM!"
Vegeta looked down. A small group of officials started to gather around the man who pointed Vegeta out to everyone. The Sayian reconized the tattletale as one of the guards who first threw him out. A different man in a darker uniform cupped his hand around his mouth. Vegeta growled in irritation. He wanted to blast them all to other-world.
"Sir! I need you to bring yourself down-" The man who had cupped his hands to project his voice faltered as he realized the man he was trying to talk down from the window simply disappeared. All the other men and women officers couldn't believe what they saw.
"What the hell was that... thing?" asked Nick to Gabe.
All Gabe could do was shake his head in disbelief. Everyone could see there no cables or ropes of any kind to hold a man there. And even if there was something there, how could someone vanish into thin air?
Vegeta phased back above the clouds. That way he was certain not to be seen by anyone.
"Damn it all! Human vermin ruined everything! I should never have come back! I should never had gotten involved with that woman! GRRRAH!" He blasted into the sky once again, determined to get back to his ship.
