Chapter 16: Baby time

The next morning Bulma hopped the first flight out to go home. Starring out of the window after take off and rubbing her belly, 'Well kiddo time to face life again.' After a long flight Bulma landed at the airport. There waiting for her was her parents, 18 and Krillin, whom she missed their wedding because they decided to elope, and Goku and Chi-Chi. There was one more but she didn't see him. Bulma's worries disappeared when she saw all her loved ones there. "Mom! Dad!" Bulma ran/waddled up to them and hugged them. "I've missed you all so much." Bulma pulled back and turned to her friends. Wiping her eyes. "I've missed you guys too." She went up and hugged them all.

After 18 gave her a hug, "Now don't start that shit. Your having a baby soon you should be happy."

"I am. Just glad to be back." Goku and Krillin helped Dr. Briefs grab her bags and they walked to the cars. "So, is my stuff still at the apartment?" Bulma said as she walked with 18 and Chi-Chi.

18's smile disappeared and she frowned over her shoulder at Bulma's mom. "Well, they were until your mother found out you're pregnant and she moved your stuff back to their house."

"Oh."

She looked down and saw Chi-Chi grab her hand. "Yeah and I helped design the baby's room." Bulma looked up and smiled.

It took a few days to get settled back into the house she hadn't lived in since she graduated from high school. "My God mom! Ya think you bought enough cloths!" Bulma walked into the baby's closet and was in complete shock. Walking in, "I mean, my God mom, I don't even know what the baby is."

Her mom looked up from the dresser she was putting socks in. "I thought you knew, but was keeping it a secret."

"Ya, I'm keeping a secret from myself too. I don't know." Bulma went and sat down on the rocking chair.

"I'm sorry honey. I guess I got carried away. I went shopping the afternoon you told me." She put on her sweet smile. "Come on let's get something to eat." She grabbed Bulma's hand, helped her up and left the room.

Meanwhile....

Vegeta didn't know how to take it. Ever since his phone call from Tarble he was puzzled. 'Is it mine?' 'Should I go to her?' Question after question ran through his head making him crazy and angry. He saw her the night she returned. She looked so beautiful, just as before, but more so now. He just had to have her back. No matter if the child was his or not...

'Any day now.' Bulma thought as she tapped her fingers on the top of her belly. It became a little game between her and the baby. She tap, it would kick, but now the baby was so big it wasn't that fun when it kicked. She had been sitting in the same spot for three hours, looking out the window in the baby's room into the early evening sky. The wind was high, Bulma opened the window and just let the wind blow her hair around, closing her eyes all she could think of was Vegeta. Her phone started to go off she looked down and sure enough it said Vegeta. Just when she was about to hit the ignore button she changed her mind and hit the talk button. "What do you want Vegeta!"

"Bulma, please."

"No, Vegeta! We are done we've been done for a while now! I've moved on with my life. I suggest you do the same."
"Move on, by that you mean get pregnant?" His voice was hard and cold, with no emotion in it.

Bulma froze she nearly dropped the phone, "How...how...how did you know I was p...pr...pregnant?"

"Please, woman! I'm not an idiot! I have my ways. Did it ever dawn on you while you were in Oradea that my brother might have seen you!"

Bulma was on the edge of crying, "Vegeta..." she stopped what she was saying and looked down, her water broke. "Oh God!"

Vegeta snapped out of his angrier and was about to ask her what was wrong when the line went dead.

Bulma dropped her phone, "MAMA! DADDY!"

Her mom was the first into the room. "Oh God. ROBERT!" Her dad came in.

"Mama...did my water break?"

Her mom ran to her side shaking her head yes. "Yes, sweetie. Let's get you to the hospital." Turning to her half asleep husband, "Robert go get Bulma's bag. It should be ready to go."

"Ok." He yawned as he left the room.

Bulma's mom helped her up and started to lead her out of the room. "Wait mom. I need to call 18 and Chi-Chi." Her mom grabbed her phone and handed it to her. On the way to the hospital she called them and they met them there.

"Who will be in the delivery room with you?" The nurse looked up from her station.

Bulma who was in a wheelchair looked up and saw 18, Chi-Chi and her mom grab her shoulders. "All three of them."

"Ok and the father?"

Bulma got a sour look on her face. "Oh. I'm sorry." She came from behind her station and pushed Bulma into a delivery room. Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and her dad waited in the waiting room.

4 hours later (A.N. Which is pretty good for delivery, I was in with my son for 12 hours.) The guys could hear the scream of a baby down the hall. 18 and Chi-Chi came out all smiles. "It's a boy." They went and hugged their husbands and then Dr. Briefs. "Oh, and grandpa, you can go in and carry him to the nursery."

Dr. Briefs shook his head and headed back there. Walking into the room he saw his wife smiling down at their daughter and newborn grandson. "Look Trunks, its your grandpa." Bulma looked up and smiled at her dad.

A couple hours later everyone left, Bulma was in her postpartum room and Trunks was in there with her. She fell asleep when the brought her in, but she knew Trunks would be there. (A.N. Time frame: water broke at 5 pm. Trunks was born at 9 pm. It's now 11pm) She woke up and looked around she turned to Trunks' crib and saw a figure standing over him. "What are you doing here?!?"
