Him

Chapter 10: The Unexpected

Goku/Vegeta

Gohan was cleaning the house while Vegeta was sleeping in his room. It was nice to have some company around, he had grown fond of the Prince's presence. The place seemed brighter with him around. He never thought that he would say that, especially about Vegeta. But he loved every minute that the prince was here. He could see that Vegeta was slowly starting to relax and show his true self if you could say. The arrogant Prince had definitely let down his guard since he had been living with Gohan. He wasn't so snippy with Gohan and he has calmed down from when he was living with his wife.

After Gohan finished cleaning up the house, he decided to make breakfast. He knew that the prince had a sweet tooth so he decided on pancakes. He loaded them with different sweets and piled them with syrup. After he was done cooking he smiles and goes to Vegeta's room "Hey sleepy head, I made breakfast come get it." He says smiling, seeing the Prince roll onto his side and groan, he knew it was too early for Vegeta to normally wake up, but he figured the breakfast would entice him to wake up. "Come on Vegeta… I made pancakes." He says, laughing as he sees Vegeta sit up a little bit and rub his eyes.

"Alright brat, I'll be there in a second." He says sighing as he slowly gets out of the bed. He looks down at his rounding stomach and smiles, knowing that the baby was growing inside him. Ever since he was told that he was pregnant, he has softened. He knew that a child wouldn't want to grow up with someone like him, so he changed his act very quickly. Well as quickly as he could, he knew that it would take a long time but he wanted his child to have a parent that loved him and acted like it. He also wanted his child to have his father in his life. Vegeta sighs and rubs his stomach, he knew that one day he would have to swallow his pride and go and talk to Goku. He had to tell him about the baby sometime.

Vegeta shakes his head and decides to get all the way up and go eat breakfast. He smiled a little as he smelled the pancakes in the other room. He sits down and takes the huge stack of pancakes and drowns them in syrup before devouring all of them. He didn't know if it was because of the baby or he had never really tasted sweets before, but he had a real sweet tooth, he didn't ever want to eat anything unless it was loaded down with sugar lately. Once he was done with breakfast, he cleans up his mess and decides to go outside and do some meditating. It was beautiful outside and the weather was perfect for sitting outside.

After Vegeta left the room Gohan looks at where the prince was sitting and smiles softly. He finishes cleaning up the kitchen before he hears the doorbell. He quickly goes to the door and sees that it's Bulma. He smiles and opens the door. "Hey Bulma, what do I owe this visit?" Gohan asks as he smiles at her and lets her in.

"I got this package for Vegeta at the house so I thought that I would bring it over. I didn't open it or anything. I figured I'd watch him open it." Bulma says as he smiles.

"Alright, he's meditating outside right now. And I don't really want to interrupt him." He says smiling a little. "He seems to have relaxed a lot since he's gotten here. Maybe being sick really kicked him in the butt." Gohan says with a laugh. Bulma smiles and nods to him. She noticed that a little bit when she saw him here last. He also noticed that he was sleeping a lot. But he wasn't going to say anything. She just hoped that he was getting better.

"Do we have to wait until he gets in here?" Bulma asks as she smiles at him. "I'm so impatient. I just have no idea who would send him something and I really want to see what it is." She says as she grabs her knife, opening the package. She looks into the box curiously. She pulls out a huge chocolate cake, with tons of icing. Just looking at it gave Bulma cavities. She sets it down and then looks at the bottom and sees that there is a letter with some strange lettering on it. She could tell that it wasn't english, but she had no idea what language it was. "What do you think this is?" She asks Gohan as she opens the letter. On the inside it was the same language so she had no clue what it said.

Gohan came over to look at the letter. "Wow, that is strange. I'll go get him from outside." Gohan says as he starts to walk out to get Vegeta, but he was already on his way inside. "Hey Vegeta, you got a package, there's a letter in there but neither of us can read it." He says as he rubs the back of his head, he sees Vegeta glare at the two of them.

"Well that's what you get for snooping around in things that aren't yours. Whose cake?" Vegeta asks as he looks at it, feeling his mouth start to water.

"It was in the box for you, but here's the letter." Gohan says as he hands him the letter and the envelope. Vegeta looked it over for a second before his eyes widened.

"It's… It's written in Saiyan. Who in the hell would know how to write in that language. He says as he starts to read the letter.

Vegeta,

I know that you may think that us mating was the worst thing that has ever happened to you, and hey it may be I don't know. But what I do know, is that I love you. I see that now more clearly than ever. The dreams of you that I've been having will not go away, if anything they've only gotten worse. I'm not sure what to say, but I think that this letter will speak a thousand words to you since it is in Saiyan. I wanted to learn our native language for you. This way we can teach it to our children and grandchildren, (that is if we ever have kids!) but enough about that. I want you to come back to me, live with me and then we can start our lives together as mates. We were meant to be together Veggie… I love you and I hope that me taking this step has shown you how serious I am about us. Plus, I was hoping the chocolate cake would be a little bit of a bribe because I know you love sweets.

Love,

Kakarot

Vegeta chuckled softly as he wiped the tear from his eye as he looked down to see a huge chocolate cake on the table. He sits down and opens the lid on it, taking his finger and running it over the top before he put the finger in his mouth, moaning softly as he tasted the rich chocolate icing. Vegeta didn't know what to say about all of this. He bit his lip and felt more tears come to his eyes. How in the world did Goku learn how to write in Saiyan? Vegeta was the only one that knew the language. At this point he didn't really care how he did it, he just cared that he actually took the time to learn something about their heritage that they could pass down.. to the child that Goku didn't know about. Vegeta looks down at his stomach and put his hand on it, feeling the tears flow freely as he strokes his stomach. He had to go and tell him now… He had to tell him about the baby and… how much he cared for that idiot.

"Vegeta… Why are you messing with your stomach?" Bulma asks him curiously.

Vegeta sighs, now was as good of a time as any he guessed. "I'm… Pregnant." He says as he looks up at his ex wife. He points his finger at her before he continued. "Now before you start on this whole males can't get pregnant thing, Saiyan males can if they've mated to their mates… Kakarot is my mate… and I've run away from it.." Vegeta says as he sighs. "I regret every single second of it, but I'm going to tell him today… after I take a nap." Vegeta says as he gets up and goes to his room.

Bulma looks at Gohan with wide eyes. "Why in the hell didn't you tell me?"

Gohan's eyes widened. "I didn't think that he wanted to tell you so I didn't tell you." He says raising his arms in defense.

"Well that's all fine and fucking dandy but your father is taking care of your mother because she is also pregnant… but I don't think he knows that it's not his." Bulma says, wanting to scream, but she couldn't let Vegeta hear that. She saw the perplexed look on Gohan's face.

"What are we going to do?" Gohan asks.

"I don't know what you're going to do, but I'm going to stop it… right now." she says storming out of the house.

Vegeta woke up and immediately gets up and looks out the window, seeing the red bird as he smiles brightly, leaping out the window and heading to Kakarot's house. Vegeta opened the door and looked around, seeing Goku laying down on the couch watching TV. Vegeta runs over to him and straddles his waist, feeling Goku jump a little bit. Goku smiles up at Vegeta and takes his hands gently. "And what do I owe this pleasure huh?" He asks as he runs his hands along Vegeta's arms, making him shiver.

Vegeta leans down and kisses him deeply, stroking his hair as he did. "I wanted to thank you properly for the cake and the letter." He says smiling, speaking in Saiyan to his mate.

Goku chuckles and kisses him back as he holds onto him. "It's no biggie… I just wanted to make you happy, so that you'd come back to me." Goku says biting his lip as he strokes Vegeta's cheek. "I'm hoping that you come back to me, and not just in my dreams." Vegeta nuzzles his hand gently with his nose as he smiles.

"I'm coming back as soon as I wake up, I wanted to come here and tell you some news though." Vegeta says as he places his hands on his stomach. He bites his lip and looks into Goku's eyes, trying to gather the courage to tell him. It seemed so easy a few minutes ago.

Goku sits up and wraps his arms around Vegeta's waist as he smiles at him, kissing his forehead. "Go on, tell me, I'm sure that I will love it." He says as he starts to rub his back soothingly.

Vegeta bit his lip and leaned his head against Goku's shoulder. "I… I'm pregnant, and the baby is yours." He says as he looks at him smiling a little.

Slowly Goku started to disappear from Vegeta's view… His eyes widened as he tried to grip on to him to get him to stay, but soon he was alone in the house. The feeling of loneliness settled over him, and he didn't like it one bit. He curled up into a ball and felt tears come to his eyes. Was he going to be alone in the world?

The rest of Vegeta's sleep was completely dreamless. When he woke up Vegeta was completely terrified of telling Goku. Did he wake up because he didn't want to have a child… but the letter made him sound excited about having children. Vegeta pulled his knees to his chest and laid his head on them. He would have to go and talk to him now, there was no question about it. But now it seemed a lot harder than it did a while ago.

Bulma was banging on the door, waking Goku from his sleep. He groans and rubs his eyes as he goes to get the door. "What do you want Bulma… I was having a good dream." He says pouting. But his sleepiness left him the second that Bulma started to push him backwards into the house yelling at him. "Woah woah what the hell are you talking about." Goku looks at her and bit his lip.

"Vegeta is pregnant with your baby! And you're over here with a fucking ex wife that doesn't love you and is just trying to use you because the baby daddy fucking left her what the hell is wrong with you!" Bulma screams at him. Goku's eyes widen as he looks down at his best friend.

What the hell are you talking about? She's not using me the baby is mine" Goku says as he leans back against the counter. "I'm doing what I'm supposed to.." He says as he looks at Bulma, seeming to not hear the first part of what she said.

Just as Bulma was about to say something, Chichi walked in the door with bags in her hands. "Oh Goku I brought back some… oh I didn't know you were in the middle of something.

Bulma glared at her and turned from Goku to her. "You bitch! You fucking told me you told him it wasn't his! That's the only reason he's fucking taking care of you!" Bulma says glaring at her before she shakes her head. "I'm fucking done with this. Do what you want with your life Goku, but if you were smart I would put your time into who is actually going to have your baby." She says before walking out the door and slamming it.

Chichi chuckled nervously as she walked to the table putting the groceries down. "Wow… She's gone off the deep end huh?" She says before looking at Goku, her eyes widening as she sees how pissed off he is. "Uhm… are you okay?"

"The baby isn't mine… the fucking baby isn't mine?!" Goku says glaring at her. He felt his power rising the angrier he was getting. He glares at her with tears in his eyes. "How could you! I was over here feeling sorry for you and myself because I couldn't be with the person that I was actually meant to be with for my whole life. Vegeta… He's who I'm meant to be with… he always has been but I've been wasting my time on you because I felt sorry for you and I felt like I had responsibility of my child… Just… Just get the fuck out of my house!

"But Goku…I..'

"GET THE FUCK OUT!" Goku says, his hair flaming blonde. Chichi's eyes widened before she ran out of the house. Goku goes to the door and slams the door so hard that it flew a few yards. Goku felt tears come down his eyes before he goes to his room… praying it wasn't too late to keep dreaming of Vegeta.
