Chapter 18: The least expected.

The first thing I do in the morning is run to my bedroom and, like I always do in these cases, I take 2 pills. Then I take one very day until the end of the month and hope for the best.

I learned this when I was with Yamcha; Sometimes I forgot to take them for whole weeks… Gosh, but that was for a week not a whole month! How the heck did I let this happen?

Dear diary,

After thinking about how the heck I forgot to take the pills I came to the conclusion that the flipping pills kept reminding me of Yamcha! So, every time I tried to take them I would throw them across the room, or I would swear at them. I know it's stupid, but you have to think that Yamcha was the only reason that I was taking the pills in the first place… It's kind of lame you know? Yamcha is the only one who I slept with before Vegeta.

That reminds me the second reason why I stopped taking them… I was going to take them. (I'm talking about the past few days) But I promised myself not to sleep with Vegeta, so to take them was breaking that promise. I know! After I slept with him I should have tried to take the pills anyways, but I thought I wouldn't sleep with him again. I think I have denial issues, you know?

The good thing is that I forgot for only 3 weeks and not a month, so there's a very small chance that I'm not pregnant, at least for human standards. I hope Saiyens don't have super sperms or something.

Dear diary.

Mom and Dad came home today. I've been so paranoid with the whole baby thing! Mom asked me "how is my baby?" and I totally freaked out! She was completely talking about me, not that I was pregnant or something. Also, I went to the mall today, and EVERYBODY is pregnant or has babies! Are we in mating season? Anyways, I saw something that kind of warmed my heart. There was a couple about the same age as us with a little boy. When I saw them I imagined a little Vegeta playing around and I thought, "That wouldn't be that bad" I don't know what got into me, but suddenly the thought of a baby doesn't seem that terrible. After I came home I read some fairy tale stories for some reason…

Dear diary.

Things with Vegeta have slowed down in these past few day, he has been training a lot lately so we barely see each other. Also I found him staring at my belly the other day. I think he knows there is a chance that I could be pregnant. My paranoia with babies is not helping with his suspiciousness either. I wonder if this is the reason why he has been so focus in his training; like, he is training only to avoid the idea of a baby. I mean, I don't blame him, Gosh! A baby will change everything and I'm sure he is not the baby lover type.

I bought a pregnancy test this afternoon and I just can't wait for tomorrow morning, the curiosity is killing me!

Mom knocks at my door to remind me about the charity dinner she is going to with Dad. "That means I'm the one in charge of dinner at home, right?" I say joking. Since I've been worrying about this pregnancy thing, I am kinda getting along better with Mom.

She tells me the kitchen is empty and apologizes for not having the chance to go to the store. "Don't worry I'll take care of everything, you guys have fun" I say with a warm smile.

Dad comes from behind her and takes her to the car. 3 minutes after they leave a small explosion is heard from the gravity room. I run as fast as I can to see if Vegeta is doing alright. The smoke is coming from inside and the smell of burned plastic tells me right away something is wrong.

I run inside and I turn off the machine, the white lights come out replacing the red ones making everything more noticeable; the smoke seems to be coming from two laser machines. Apparently the motors overheated and melted. A glimpse of sun light touches my eyes. The roof got damage too, nothing big, but it's still something extra that I will have to do.

"Vegeta?" I ask when I realize nobody is complaining to me.

"I'm ok woman." I hear Vegeta say with a casual voice. I try to find him with my eyes when I see somebody limping from a pile of rocks.

"Are you ok Vegeta? I ask him just to make sure he is fine.

"Are you deaf woman? I just told you I am ok!" He says impatiently.

"UG! You have no idea of how much I hate that question! I yell at him.

"And you have no Idea of how much I hate to repeat myself!" Touchè.

We stare at each other in silence. "Is your leg ok too?" I ask him, regretting it right away.

"I TOLD YOU I'M FINE!" he shouts at me from the top of his longs.

"THAN WHY THE HECK ARE YOU LIMPING THEN?!

"Because, an 800 pounds piece of concrete land on my ankle, that's why!" He yells at me, not as mad as I thought he was going to get.

I knew he wasn't fine! Why is it so tough for him to admit he is hurt? "Oh, Ok" I respond. "Let's go take care of it inside the house."

"It seems to be just a sprain. You should be fine if you rest for a couple of days." I explained to him. Vegeta glares at me with an 'I don't think so' look. I smile. He is such a spoiled little kid. "…And again" I add. "You are a Saiyen, you should probably be fine by the time we are done fixing the gravity room." I Say with a smile.

I turn on the T.V on and I pop out the leg rest on the couch under him making enough space for his legs to relax; then, I accommodate a pillow under his sprained ankle. He looks attentively at everything I do, like a kitty staring at the biggest fish in the tank. Kitty; I giggle at the thought. He is still wearing that underwear…

I make him some popcorn and I bring it to him in a big bowl. He is still silently staring at me with big eyes. I grab another pillow and I prope it up behind his head. He looks at me mischievously and in a quick and yet gentle move he holds me by my waist pushing me towards him; I'm force to sit in his lap.

"You are watching this movie with me tonight" He informs me.

"Which movie?"

"You'll see" he grins.

"I can't.!" I say painfully. "I promise Mom to go pick up some groceries for tomorrow" I say not liking the idea.

"Isn't the store close at this time? Vegeta asks.

"Not for 40 more minutes."

"Can we just order pizza or something? Aaah! Vegeta wants me to stay!

"I'll be quick I promise… Don't start the movie without me! I say grabbing my purse very quick and running at the door. I stop for a second and I run back to kiss Vegeta on the lips, then, I leave the house.

When I make it to the store's parking lot I order a couple dozen of Vegeta's favorite pizzas, thinking that they will be delivered by the time I'm back home.

The store is closing and they are not letting anyone come in. I give 100 zeni to the guard to let me in. After I get everything I need, I walk out almost blindly with the shopping paper bags covering most of my face.

"Give me your purse!" A male voice orders me.

"We don't want blood on your precious clothes, do we…" said a second man, poking me in the kidney with a knife. I freeze and my mind goes blank. "The purse, now!" The man with the knife yells again poking me deeper with it. The tip of the blade burries a little bet in my skin. The pinch wakes me up; slowly, I slide my purse off of my shoulder and handing it over they run away. I sit on the floor in shock. This whole thing flashed me back when I got kidnapped.

"Are you ok?" A lady asks. I recognize her; she is the cashier from the store.

"I was mugged…" I say, and tears start to come out.

"Oh, my Gosh! Are you ok? Did they hurt you?" I shake my head to the sides.

"Here" She says. "Take my phone. Call your family."

My family… There's only Vegeta at home, and he has a bad foot.

I dial the number.

"Why are you taking so long?!" A grumpy Vegeta answers.

"I…" I say in tears. "I was mugged… Will you come for me?" The phone hangs up in the other side.

"Are they coming for you?" The sweet lady asks.

"Thank you." I say and I give her the phone back. I don't think they are coming. This is like a 'broken nail' to him.

"Ma'am, you didn't answer my question." She asks me again.

"Where is she? A male voice says.

"Vegeta?" I say Incredulous.

I run to him and I cry in his arms. Vegeta whinced, then, awkwardly hugs me back placing one of his hands on my head that makes me cry even more.

"Let's go home." He says softly.

We silently fly back home and he sits me on the couch where he had all the pizza boxes sits back in the same place I left him and, holding the remote he gently says "Let's watch that movie now."

The next morning I sneak out of bed making sure Vegeta doesn't wake up. Carefully, I grab the pregnancy test out of the drawer and I take it to the bathroom with me. When it is done, I try to see the results but I don't have the courage to do it. I walk to one of my bedroom's windows and I look outside for a few minutes.

Pink strait line Yes; Blue sideways No. I remind myself. I look at the test and with a strange sadness I see how the blue line appears in the box space.

"It's a no then?" A male voice says from behind my ear. I turn around and I see Vegeta holding the pregnancy test box in one of his hands. By the look on his eyes, I can tell he is having the same feeling as I.

Bonus extra!

Vegeta is waiting; sitting at the table while I'm finishing breakfast and we hear the TV newscaster relate the singular story about two men who had been captured by the police forces under strange circumstances.

"The police found the criminals beaten and tied up to a street light holding 25.000 Zennie with them, the same money West city bank had reported missing earlier this morning. The men found with the money hold criminal records of assault and robbery. The police forces are trying now to determine the motives behind their actions and also find out who is the mysterious person that tied these people up and who also seems to have vanished into thin air…"

They show the guys from the robbery and I can help to see how familiar they seem to be. I look back to Vegeta incredulous.

"Huh, interesting…" He says emotionless.

"Really?! That's all you have to say for yourself?" I ask him, not sure if I am mad or about to laugh.

"Oh, yeah, your purse it's on the coffee table." He adds.

Sorry guys it took me so long, I've been busy XD

I hope you enjoyed the chapter :)
