Chapter 15: Phone Calls
"What! HOW!"
"18, calm down. You know how. It's just something I'm going to have to get use to."
"Your not getting rid of it?"
"HELL NO! It's my child. Even if I'm not with it's father I still need to care for it."
"Ok. Well I'm here for ya...ok?"
"I know."
"So, anyways when are you coming back?"
Bulma got up and went to the kitchen. "Well the doctor says I'm almost 1 and a half along, so I will probably come home sometime before I'm due."
"Ok. Well I want to be in the delivery room!"
"I know, I know." Bulma grabbed some ice cream and a spoon and went back to the living room.
"So how are you going to tell your parents?"
"I'm not sure yet, I think I'll tackle telling Aunt Lilly and Launch first."
"Ok. Well I wish ya good luck. I miss ya bunches but I have to go. Work calls."
Bulma sat up, "Your working!"
"Yeah shocking isn't it? Love ya B."
"Love ya too 18, have fun."
"I will bye."
"Bye." Bulma closed her phone, right when she was sitting down, it started going off. Vegeta "Well let's just see." "Hello?"
"Bulma?"
"Yes."
"Thank God I finally got you. I want to talk about what happened."
Taking a bite of ice cream, "Well I don't."
"Please."
Bulma bit her spoon and looked at the clock. "Two minutes."
"Thank you. I'm sorry for what happened I had been wanting to tell you for sometime but didn't know how. But I didn't know when."
"So you thought after fucking me that would be the best?"
"Your words are cold Bulma. I'm sorry for that too. I do care and love you. Can't you see it? Can't you feel it. I know you do."
Bulma put down her ice cream and spoon and put her hand on her heart. She could feel the pull to Vegeta. "I don't know what your talking about. For all I know, your just some creepy old vampire that has been stalking me."
"But I haven't!" Vegeta was losing control of his temper.
"Then explain that painting."
"Fine! Remember the night we met and I told you we met before. That's what I meant. She was Princess Bulma, my first love."
"LOOK HERE MISTER! I'm not her! Enjoy the rest of eternity alone!" Bulma hung up her phone and started to cry. 'Great pregnancy and now more crying, just great!'
On Vegeta's end. "That BITCH!" Vegeta throw his phone nearly hitting the painting he held so dear. "Calm down." Vegeta sat down and took control again. "My temper isn't going to win her back. You'll think of a way Vegeta. Just give it time. She wouldn't have gone on the defense so fast if she didn't feel anything." Vegeta sat back and looked up at the ceiling.
Telling her aunt and cousin was the easy part. They were actually excited, surprisingly for Launch who knew who the father was. Next came the hard part, her parents. The next morning Bulma got up early to call her parents. Two rings... "Briefs residence, Bunny speaking."
"Hi mama."
"Oh, sweetheart. How are you?"
"I'm good, yourself?"
"Good, miss the heck out of you."
"I miss you too mom. Listen the reason I called was I have something major to tell you and dad."
"Really, well let me page him. Lately he has been in a foul mood, maybe this will brighten his day."
"I doubt it." Bulma mumbled.
Her mom paged her father and soon they were all on the phone. "Hello dear, when are you planning on coming home?"
"I was thinking in 6 months dad. I'm really enjoying myself and I'm helping Aunt Lilly a lot."
"Well that's ok. Now what's the news?"
"Ok...well...I'm...pregnant." Bulma cringed after a few moments of silence "Mom...dad?"
"We are here sweetheart, congratulations!" her mom put in.
"Thanks mom. Dad?"
"I hope you know what your getting into."
"I do dad. Don't worry."
"Ok. Well I got to go." Bulma heard a click and suddenly she wanted to cry again.
"Sweetheart don't worry he'll come around. He loves babies. Just like me." Bulma drowned out her mom who was going on about how excited she was that she was going to be a grandma.
"Hey mom I got to go. I'll talk to you soon. Love ya."
"Love you too Bulma."
Bulma got off the phone with her mom and saw that was still dark out. 'The sun should be coming up.' Bulma looked out the window and saw that it was over casted. She sat back down on the couch 'Well now to tell the father.' Bulma looked down at her phone, but decided she wasn't ready for that yet.
Time came and went Bulma was now seven months along and was happier than ever. She was getting ready to head home. Launch and Aunt Lilly decided to have a going away dinner for Bulma at one of the nicest restaurants in town. They put on their best and headed out...
That same night Tarble was taking Grey and his grandmother out to dinner for the grieving loss of his mother. The restaurant the chose was one of their favorites. While Grey got their daughter settled down, Tarble went up to the bar to get something to drink. He looked around while the bartender got his drink. A flash of blue caught his eye. As he watched he saw how familiar this woman looked, then it dawned on him Bulma. After he got his drink he headed back to the table and noticed that she was pregnant. He had a confused/stupid look on his face. "Earth to Tarble! Where is our waiter you little fucker."
"Wittle Fucker!"
"Grandma!"
"Sorry dear." Turning back to Tarble. "What's your deal."
Tarble shook his head and looked at the women. "I'll be right back I need to make a phone call."
Grey looked concerned at her husband. "Dear?"
"Don't worry I just got to tell Vegeta something."
"Vegeta?"
"Yeah, I'll be right back." Tarble set his drink down and walked outside to call his brother.
After Tarble left, his grandmother looked around to see what caused him to lose it. Then she saw her. 'That's the same girl I saw a few months ago.' She saw who she was with. 'With Tarble's ex?' Then Bulma stood up and she caught sight of Bulma's belly. 'That's why.' she grinned (A.N. Like Vegeta's grin)
