Him

Chapter 9: Surprise

Goku/Vegeta

AN: I'm sorry it took me so long to update… Life took priority for these last few weeks. But hopefully this week before I start school again I can have a lot of updates for you!

Bulma smiles and waits for Gohan to open the door. She looks over and sees Vegeta laying on the couch when he opens the door. "I see that he's doing a little better?" She says as she looks at him.

Gohan smiles and nods "Yea… he just has to be super careful when he walks around… but he's going to be okay." He says as he goes back to sit by Vegeta. The prince looks at him before he put his feet in Gohan's lap. He looks at Bulma and smiles a little. He was a little glad to see her.

Bulma looks at Vegeta and smiles at him. "I brought you some clothes from home and I made some meals for you also. I'll put them in the freezer." She says as she smiles at Vegeta. She was glad that he was doing better. "So Gohan did you figure out what the problem was?" She asks him.

Gohan wasn't really sure what to say to her. He looked down at Vegeta when he felt him tense on the couch. He couldn't tell her what was actually going on with him, she would freak out and treat him like some science experiment or something. "Uhm… he just had this virus… like a stomach bug… it's mostly gone, but it still affects his ki on occasion." He says as he looks down at Vegeta smiling at him.

Bulma nods to him and smiles to Vegeta. "Well I just wanted to come and check on you… to make sure you were doing okay. If there's anything you need let me know okay?" She says to him. Vegeta smiled a little, he was touched at how much she cared for him. He nodded to her and promised to let her know before she left. Once she left Vegeta sighs and closes his eyes, stroking his stomach slowly. Feeling the ki there move around until it was closer to his hand. He smiles a little and bites his lip. He

"Vegeta… Have you thought of telling my dad yet?" Gohan asks Vegeta. He didn't want him to leave, but he knew that it was going to be inevitable eventually. As much as he loved having Vegeta around, he knew that he wasn't his to have. He looked down at Vegeta who was already asleep again. He had been sleeping an aweful lot just like dad.

Gohan smiles a little and sighs softly, getting off of the couch and grabbing a blanket for Vegeta. He covers him up. "Sweet dreams." He says smiling before he starts doing some housework.

It had been a whole week since Chichi came to Goku's house…Maybe it had been longer, he had no clue he just knew that it had felt like an eternity. She was coming over every day to cook for him. Goku couldn't stop looking at Chichi's stomach… Whose baby was it? Was it his? Or someone else's… he wanted to know and he wanted to know now. As Chichi cooked him breakfast he ran his hands through his hair. He had to get out of here and figure things out.

"I hope you're hungry, I made all of your favorites." she says smiling to him as she sets the piles of food on the table. She smiles at him happily and bit her lip, she hoped that he liked everything that she made.

"I am… but before I eat I want you to tell me whose baby that is." He says glaring at her. "Is it mine?" He asks her, stabbing his pancakes before eating them. Chichi looked so shocked at the news.

"W.. What are you talking about.." Chichi says with wide eyes.

"Don't fucking try kidding me… I can feel its energy in you… Now whose is it?" He says glaring at her. He could feel her starting to panic, like she had no idea what he was talking about, but he knew better. She was one of the best manipulators that he knew. If she were stronger, she would make a great villain.. But he would never tell her that.

"I.. I didn't want to tell you Goku… but...it's yours." she says looking at him. He looked into her eyes to try and figure out if she was lying… He could almost always tell when she was lying. But he saw no signs that she was lying. He sighs… What in the world was he going to do? He had Vegeta to think about now and then this.. He felt sick to his stomach. He groans and lays his head down on the table, suddenly he didn't feel hungry anymore.

"Goku are you alright?" Chichi asks softly. Goku wasn't going to stick around here any longer. He didn't know where he was headed just yet, but he knew that there was no way that he was going to be here. He leaves his own house, leaving Chichi there with a shocked expression on her face. She sighs and just stands there for a moment, she should of known that he was going to react like that. After all both of his boys were grown and could take care of themselves. Why would he want another little one running around. She just shakes her head and decides to finish the meal she was preparing for him, he could come and he would eat it later.

There was a knock at the door and Chichi froze… Who in the world would come and visit Goku? She goes to the door and smiles as she sees that it's only Bulma. "Oh hey Bulma, Goku just left… He didn't really tell me where he was going so I don't know when he will be back." she says with a smile on her face, she was trying to act like nothing was wrong.

Bulma looked at Chichi curiously… What in the hell was she doing at Goku's house. She knew that she was the obsessive type and one to not let things go easily, but it took a special kind of person to stay with someone after repeatedly telling you they don't want you there. Bulma sighs and looks around the house for a second before setting her eyes back on Chichi. "Uhm okay… I guess I'll just see him later then." She says as she starts to walk away. But her eyes caught sight of Chichi's stomach. Not many people would be able to notice the subtle tightness to her clothes, but someone like Bulma couldn't help but notice it. She didn't know whether she should say something or not. It would be in her best interest to not say a word and run for the hills, but she was never that kind of girl. "So… looks like you're gonna have another little one running around huh?" Bulma says crossing her arms. She prayed to every deity in the universe that it wasn't Goku's baby. That would only give him more reason to try and stay with her.

Chichi smiled as one of her hands went to her stomach. "Yes I do… I'm so excited." She says as she rubs her stomach slowly. Bulma looked at her in shock before she sighs.

"Is it Goku's baby?" Bulma asks bluntly.

Chichi shakes her head and laughs. "No of course not. It's my ex boyfriends… But Goku is such a kind person, he's helping me take care of the baby even though he knows it's not his." Chichi says with a small smile on her face. "That man's love knows no bounds." She says softly.

Bulma couldn't believe all of the bullshit that was spewing out of her mouth. But… it was Goku that they were talking about. Although he had changed quite a bit over the years, his soft heart had remained the same somehow. It was entirely possible that Goku would say those things. Bulma just had really hoped that they weren't true.

"Oh… Well would you tell him that I stopped by please?" Bulma asks. The second she sees Chichi nod to her she runs back to her car. She had to tell someone about this. But who was she going to tell.

After getting her car started, she immediately went back to Gohan's house.

Goku looked around the buildings in the Saiyan's new home. He felt the most comfortable here. He wished that he could just move here. This felt more like home than Earth ever had. He hoped that one day he could take Vegeta here. This way he was able to see his family again. Goku knew that he would love that. As he made his way to his father's place, he couldn't help but thinking about what Chichi had told him. There was no way that the baby could be his... right? He doesn't know much on how babies are made, mainly because no one ever told him. He made it to his dad's house and knocked quickly.

Bardock opens the door and his eyes widen. "Kakarot, this is a surprise, what are you doing here?" he asks him.

Goku sighs and looks at his father. "I just… I needed someone to talk to, someone that can help me understand some things and someone to vent to." Goku says looking at his father.

"Well isn't that what your mate is there for?" Bardock asks curiously. Goku sighs and shakes his head at his father.

"No… That's part of the reason that I came to talk to you actually." Goku says as he rubs the back of his head. His father let him into the house and offered him a seat at the kitchen table. Goku sighs and looks at his father. He started to tell his father everything that had happened since he left the last time. About him and Vegeta mating, then Vegeta quickly leaving after it was done, his ex wife and his child. His life was a mess and he didn't know what to do about it. On top of that he was constantly feeling sick, not like nausea sick, and he couldn't really explain the couldn't really explain the sick feeling to his father.

It seemed that his father understood well enough though. Bardock sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "It seems like you have a real predicament my son." He stands up and grabs a glass from the cabinet, pouring a dark liquid from the counter into the glass and taking a big drink of it as he thought. "Well for starters you can't have your ex wife around if you get Vegeta back… That would be disastrous for you, your mate, and everyone else." Bardock says as he leans against the counter, deep in thought. "As for Vegeta. You will need to do something for him that would show that you really want to be his mate. Since Prince Vegeta doesn't really know about the customs of mating or anything like that, this is all a lot for him to take in, which is probably why he ran off. He lost his home at such an early age, no one bothered to tell him about the dreams yet because he wouldn't of been old enough." Bardock says as he looks at his son. "You have to do something that would mean a lot to him. Since I don't know the prince as well as you do, that's where you're going to have to come up with something on your own." He smiles at his son. "I'm sure that it won't be that hard to do."

Goku sits at the counter. He didn't have to think long before he came up with an idea. "I have an idea… But I have no idea how I would pull it off so soon." Goku says defeatedly. "Vegeta has always told me that he wishes that I was more Saiyan… I want to learn his native language for him. But that could take longer than I actually have." Goku says, putting his head in his hands.

He heard his dad chuckle from across the room and he looked up at him. "Actually, it wouldn't take long at all." He says as he walks over to his son, gripping his shoulder. "All I have to do is let you read my mind of when I was a child then they will become part of your memories and you will know how to read, write, and talk in our language." Bardock looks at him and smiles as he sees the look of shock on his sons face. "Give me just a minute to think back and then we can get this started." His dad says as he grabs a chair and sits down, taking his sons hands.

Once Bardock closed his eyes, Goku gasped, he was seeing the memories play over in his mind. This was fascinating he could see his home planet for the first time. He was also learning so much about their culture that he would of never known. Once it was over he smiled brightly and hugged his father. "Thank you so much. I know that I will be back, hopefully I will bring Vegeta with me next time." Goku says to him as he smiles.

He quickly heads back to Earth to find the perfect gift to give Vegeta.
