Chapter 3: The in-laws

The next day (A.N. Yes during the day), Bulma and Trunks left home to go meet up with her mom at the bridal shop. Bulma was trying on her dress for last minute alterations. She came walking out if a white dress, with a white corset top, with a huge wide bottom and no train, she was also wearing her veil over her face. She looked at her mom with a weak smile. "Oh dear! You are beautiful!" Then her mother frowned, "Why do you look so sad? Isn't this want you want?"

Bulma turned and smiled. "It is mom, just with everything going on..." Starting to count on her gloved hands. "I have to get the wedding all organized, get the house ready for his family and dealing with both Vegeta and Trunks. I just feel a little overwhelmed. That's all."

Bunny set down the napping Trunks in his car seat and walked up to Bulma and put her hands on her shoulders. "Let me help? I know you are a grown woman and like your father prefer to do everything yourself, but please let me help."

"NO it's ok mom. I got it figured out." 'I hope.' "I'm going to go change back again. The dress feels fine." Bulma smiled as she left her mom.

Bulma came back out of the dressing room a few minutes later. "Hey mom?"

"Yes, darling?"

"Why don't you and dad come over for dinner? You two have never been in Vegeta's house, well our house. Please?"

"That's sounds wonderful." Bunny clapped. "I'll ask your father when I get home." They walked out of the shop and to their cars. "Bulma I wish you and Trunks would come to lunch with me. Please?"

Bulma smiled as she hooked Trunks' car seat in the back seat of her car. "Sorry mom, but I need to go home and take a nap and then get dinner ready. I'll see you tonight though. Ok?"
"Ok fine. Ruin an old woman's fun. Love ya sweetie."

"Love you too mom." Bulma got in the driver seat and drove home.

Later that day, right before sunset, Bulma was up making dinner. Leaving Vegeta to wake up to an empty bed, something he wasn't use to. He came downstairs, still in his pajama pants carrying Trunks in one arm and stretching his head with the other hand. Yawning, "Woman what are you doing up so early?"

"I invited my parents here for dinner. So I got up and got to work. Why?" She looked up at him from the island where she was cutting vegetables.

"I thought you heard something about my family coming." Vegeta set Trunks in his play pen and went to the refrigerator.

"No, why should I know something?" She went to turn the oven down.

Vegeta moved quickly to the microwave to warm up some blood. "No, I don't know." After it warmed up he quickly took his seat.
Under her breath, "I wish I could move that fast, it would make everything easier."

"You will in time." Vegeta said before taking a drink.

"What?" Bulma looked over her shoulder at him.

"Nothing."

Bulma waved it off and went back to cutting vegetables. "Well I'm going to let this cook." She went over and grabbed a bottle from the refrigerator for Trunks, after warming it up and giving it to him she turned to Vegeta. "I'm going to get dressed." He nodded and she went up stairs.

Bulma got out of the shower and dressed and went back down stairs to find Trunks and Vegeta both dressed for a nice occasion. "Well I'm glad to see you two dressed." Bulma went to walk into the kitchen when she bumped into something. She looked up to see someone standing there.

The girl was beyond beautiful, her hair was a silver purple, her eyes were pitch black like Vegeta's and she was around the same height as Bulma.

"Oh, my." She looked over Bulma's shoulder and smiled. "It's hard being in a household where a human is, this is the first time I've been ran into in over 80 years." She looked back at Bulma and smiled. "It's so nice to finally meet you Bulma. I'm Grey...Vegeta's sister-in-law."

Bulma recovered from her shock and smiled back. "Nice to meet you Grey. Now excuse me I have to check on dinner."

"Don't worry about sweet lips." An old woman came out of the kitchen followed by a shorter, less hair version of Vegeta. "Grandma's got it covered" She gave the thumbs up and winked about Bulma.

Bulma turned and looked questioningly at Vegeta.

He walked up to her and handed over Trunks. "The boy stinks." He walked over to the stairs and Bulma followed. He allowed Bulma to get through Trunks' door and shut it. "I didn't know they would arrive tonight."

Bulma walked over to the changing table. "That's fine. It was only a matter of time our families met."

"Yes, but I wasn't ready for it to happen until the wedding." He sat down.

"It doesn't matter when the meet, Vegeta. Hand me a clean diaper." Vegeta handed her one. "Anyways, it might be a shock for my parents to meet people, especially your sister-in-law, that are extremely beautiful."

"HA!" Bulma turned to see Vegeta laughing. (A.N. Think evil laugh from Namek.)

"And what is so funny Vegeta!" Bulma put her hands on her hips and glared at him.

Vegeta stopped laughing and walked up to her. He brushed some over her hair back and grabbed her neck. "Woman...when will you realize no one is as beautiful as yourself." He leaned in to kiss Bulma, but was stopped because Trunks started to fuss. "Let's get back down there. Your parents are pulling into the drive way."

Bulma's parents met Vegeta's family and all enjoyed a nice dinner. Bulma wasn't prepared for so many people, but Vegeta's grandma made up for what was missing. Bulma's parents didn't seem to notice how beautiful any of them were, even the little girl. Bunny managed to get into a cooking topic with Vegeta's grandma and Grey. Bulma's dad got into a conversation about technology with Vegeta and Tarble. Bulma smiled and laughed with all of them. 'I'm so glad they are all getting along.' Bulma's thoughts were interrupted by someone tugging on her shirt.

Bulma looked down to she her future niece, with pale white skin, beautiful dark eyes and black hair that had ringlets smiling up at her. "Auntie Bulma? Can I please play with Trunks?"

Bulma smiled back at her. "Sure sweetie." Bulma got up and got Trunks out of his high chair and lead Cherry to the living room where she set Trunks down so they could play.

"Thank you Auntie Bulma. I'll play weal nice with him." She smiled and got on the floor to play with Trunks as Bulma went back to the dining room.

"I'm so glad to see Cherry finally have someone to play with." Grey smiled as Bulma sat back down.

"You mean, your charming little girl has no friends?" Bunny asked while placing her hand on her cheek.
"I'm afraid not, the neighbor children pick on her, so she stays inside." Grey frowned.

"But it's ok. She's become a very bright little girl." Tarble added in, placing his hand on his wife's shoulder.
"Well." Bulma gave her mom the look to shut up.

Dinner finished quietly and Bulma's parents left after Bunny helped with clean up.

A.N. Sorry it's been a while. Lots to deal with. I know it's not that long but here is an update. ^^
