(A.N. Ok I'm really speeding up to Christmas Break, which in the time line is only a month away after the Championship.)
The Monday before Christmas break. Bulma sat down at the table with Vegeta and started eating. Everyone slowly made their way to the table as well. Last one to show was 18, who slammed her tray down and slammed herself down. Bulma looked over at her best friend. "What's up?"
18 balled her fists and looked up at Bulma. "My dad is making me and 17 go with him to see my grandmother over break."
Bulma shook her head. "It's not that bad. You've done it before."
"Yeah, but this year, 13 and 16 both have new girlfriends that will be there. I'm not looking forward to it."
"Oh." Bulma knew 18 didn't want to talk about it. So is moved onto everyone else. "So what are you guys doing for break?"
Launch was the first to speak up, "My mom and I are going to East City to spend some time with my grandpa."
"I'm staying here, my grandparents are coming." Tien said looking down at his sandwich.
"Goku and I are staying here as well." Chi-Chi said smiling at Goku. "We always have dinners together, with both families."
"Gramps and I are heading to Ginger Town so he can gamble, every year around Christmas they have big specials and there are always girls there." Krillin looked down in disappointment.
Bulma smiled at her friends and turned to her boyfriend. "And you?"
Vegeta just looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "I'll be here." And he said nothing else.
Break finally came and everyone that was leaving town headed out. Bulma had Vegeta come over the Friday night before Christmas. "So are you going to tell me what's going on or do I have to guess?" Bulma flopped down on her bed.
Vegeta just sat down next to her and rested his hand on her leg. "My father has to go out of town on Christmas."
"What!"
He looked at Bulma. "Woman, it's no big deal. Tarble and I are use to it."
"So what are you two going to do?" She sat up behind him and leaned over his shoulder.
"Tarble is meeting my sister at my grandmother's and I'm staying here."
Bulma's smiled faded. She came around and sat on his lap. "Vegeta I don't want you to be alone on Christmas." She lifted his head to look into her eyes. "Come spend Christmas here ok?"
"Woman, the holiday means nothing to me. It always has..."
"I don't care! I want you to come. Please promise you'll come."
He looked into her eyes and saw they were starting to tear up. "Fine."
"Oh Vegeta!"
Christmas day Bulma was helping her mom in the kitchen, getting everything ready for dinner. Bulma had just put a cake in the oven when her phone started going off. She went to grab it, Chi-Chi, Bulma smiled. "Merry Christmas Chi-Chi!"
"Hi Bulma."
Bulma could tell Chi-Chi was upset and since Launch didn't have a phone Bulma was the one that got called. "Chi, is everything ok?"
"No B."
"What's wrong?" Bulma walked out of the room and headed to her room.
"Well...you see last month the night of the party after the boys won, when I got drunk...Goku and I..."
"You had sex."
"Yes...well I can't remember if we used protection or not." Chi-Chi started crying. "I hadn't started my period, which should have come last Monday, so I waited and nothing." Bulma listened. "So I got out last night on my own and bought a pregnancy test. I took it this morning and it came back positive!" Chi-Chi broke out in a crying fit.
Bulma didn't know what to say except, "Chi-Chi I'm here for you if you need me. What are you going to do?"
"Thanks." Controlling her crying. "I don't know right now, keep it a secret till I tell Goku, then go from there."
"Understandable. If you need anything and I mean anything just call or come over. My door is always open."
"Thank Bulma that means a lot to me. Well I got to go get dinner together. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas Chi-Chi." Bulma hung up her phone and shook her head. She then dialed 18's number.
"Hey B!"
"Hey. I thought I call and see how everything is going?"
"I'm bored out of my mind. My grandmother is fine, but my brothers' girlfriends are really annoying."
"Well that sucks."
"How's it going there?"
"Don't know yet, my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousin aren't here yet."
"What about Vegeta."
"He promised he would be here. So he should be here soon."
"OK Grandma! Sorry B, I got to go. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas."
Bulma headed back downstairs just as the doorbell rang. She went to get it. "Well hello handsome. I'm glad you made it." She leaned in and gave Vegeta a kiss.
"Am I late?" Walking in
"Nope, actually your the first one here." She smiled at him, when the doorbell rang again. "Excuse me. She opened the door. "Grannie! Papa!"
"Hello sweetie." Bulma gave her grandparents hugs and turned to Vegeta.
"Grannie, Papa, this is my boyfriend, Vegeta Ouji. He will be spending Christmas with us."
The short little old man came up to Vegeta and extended his hand, in his cheery British accent. "It's an honor to meet you my boy."
"Same to you sir."
Bulma smiled. "Vegeta this is my Grannie, Ellie and my Papa Trunks Briefs. They are my dad's parents."
Vegeta just shook his head. Bulma turned to her Papa. "I'm guessing we are in the same room as last time?"
"Correct. Want me to take your bags?" Bulma went to grab them.
"Not this year Missy, we know you too well, you'll try and look for your present." Her Grannie laughed at her.
Bulma smiled and laughed. After her grandparents headed upstairs her and Vegeta went to the living room. They just sat down when the doorbell rang again. "I'll be right back." Bulma left the room and went to the door. Vegeta sat back on the couch and looked at their tree.
"My goodness Miss thing! It's colder than a witch's tit out there."
Vegeta could hear Bulma laughing. "Come on in Gram."
"Good! So where is this boyfriend I've been hearing so much about?"
"Mom's told you?"
"Of coarse she has. She like me can't keep her dam mouth shut."
Bulma laughed again. "He's in the living room."
"Oh shit! Bulma I wish you would have told me I would have not spoken that way when I came in."
"Gram I wouldn't want him to meet you any other way."
They both laughed and walked into the living room. Vegeta stood up and extended his hand, but instead she came up and gave him a big bear hug. "There ain't no hand shakes for this old gal." She stood back holding Vegeta's shoulders, smiled and looked at Bulma. "Mighty fine one, ya've picked here Miss Thing."
Bulma blushed. "Thanks Gram. Vegeta this is my Gram Mary Rose, my mom's mom. Gram this is Vegeta Ouji."
Gram looked back at Vegeta and smiled. "Nice to meet you ma'am."
"What's this ma'am shit. You can call me Gram." she let go of Vegeta and turned to Bulma. "Where is my 18?"
Bulma laughed. "Visiting her grandma with her dad and brothers."
"Well dam. I have something for her."
"Believe me she would rather be here."
"Oh well. I'll just leave it for her. So where is that mother of yours and I saw Ellie and Trunks pull up."
"Mom is in the kitchen and Grannie and Papa went upstairs."
"Ok. Well I'm going to go see your mother." She gave Bulma a kiss on the forehead and walked to the kitchen.
Bulma turned to Vegeta, "So what do you think?"
"A very interesting woman. She hugs like Kakarrot."
Giving him a confused look. "And how would you know that?"
"The idiot is all about hugs, not matter if you like them or not." He sat back down.
Bulma came over and sat next to him. "Gram is a Montanan Rancher. After my grandpa passed away she's been left to take care of everything. She's a pretty hardcore woman. But she's lots of fun."
"What about your other grandparents?"
"Grannie is quiet and reserved. Kinda like Launch. And the sweetest thing. Then Papa is a loud mouth, tell it how it is kinda guy. Like me." She smiled proudly. Vegeta shook his head and gave her a kiss, when the doorbell rang again. "Be right back." She returned with three people. "Aunt Marissa, Uncle Paragus this is my boyfriend Vegeta Ouji."
Vegeta looked up to see a man that was very tall and had a patch over one eye, standing next to him was a shorter purple haired woman that was smiling sweetly. "Vegeta this is my Uncle Paragus, my dad's older brother and his wife, my Aunt Marissa." A boy carrying bags came walking in. "And you already know my cousin Brolly."
Vegeta shook Paragus' hand and her aunt hugged him. Brolly and him just exchanged glares, that didn't go unnoticed by Bulma. After Paragus and Marissa left the room, Bulma punched both of them in the arm. "I don't care if you two get along, but it's Christmas so grow up." Brolly gave Vegeta the ha looked only to have Bulma glare at him more. "I mean it Brolly. Remember the last time you pissed me off, the doctor had to excuse you from football for two weeks! Now let's eat." Bulma marched out of the room, followed by the both of them..
Dinner went by well. Small talk about what colleges the kids have looked into and complimenting Vegeta on the State Championship. After dinner, Bulma and her mom cleared the table and loaded the dish washer, then brought the cake out to the living room where everyone was at. "Well Vegeta, if I known ya were going to be here, I would have gotten ya something."
"It's not problem...Gram."
"Sweet boy!" Gram clapped. "Bulma be a dear and pass out the presents."
"Ok Gram." Bulma walked over to the tree and started passing out presents. As usual most of them were for her and Brolly, plus she had all her friends' presents under it and Vegeta's. Bulma opened her's; her Gram got her four sketch books, new colored pencils, more charcoal, and pastels. She smiled up at her. "Thanks Gram."
"Your welcome Miss Thing."
Bulma continued on to open her present from her Grannie and Papa, they got her a new Nikon camera with a camera bag. "Thank you!"
"Your welcome sweet heart." Her Grannie spoke up.
Next was her present from her aunt, uncle and cousin, which was a Louis Vuitton book bag, purse, make up bag, and wallet. "Thank you so much!"
She aunt smiled at her. "It's not too much is it?"
"No! It's great I needed new bags." After calming down she opened the envelope from her parents, which was a sum of money with a card that said, 'Shopping Money'. Bulma hugged both her parents and watched Brolly and the rest of her family open theirs. After everyone was done, Bulma went back to the tree and hoisted a large present into her arms and nearly dropped it. "Brolly can you help me please." Brolly went behind the tree where she was and lifted it for her.
"Man, B what is this?"
Bulma smiled and helped Brolly bring around to face Vegeta. "Merry Christmas Vegeta."
Vegeta stood up in shock. "Bulma, you didn't have to get me anything."
She smiled proudly, "I didn't. I've been working on this baby ever since Championships. Come open please." Vegeta nodded his head and came to the front of it. "Be careful. I spent a lot of time on this." Again Vegeta nodded.
He pulled back the shiny blue snowflake paper to revel at collage of different pictures. One was of him catching the ball that sent them into over time. Another was of him at the homecoming game making a touchdown, another was from the second game against East City, when the girls drove to watch them and he was jumping three feet in the air to catch a ball. And the most outstanding on was a picture of him in the whole team in a huddle, the steam rolling off their hot bodies and their heads bowed. He looked up at Bulma who was biting her bottom lip and smiling. "You did this?"
"Yep." She bounced up a little. "Do you like it?"
He came over to her and gave her a hug, not caring it was in front of her family. "It's the best present anyone has ever given me." He kissed her on the cheek.
Bouncing up and down. "Really!"
Vegeta looked back at the collage. "These pictures are amazing."
Bulma giggled. "The team one isn't a picture, I did it out of charcoal."
"Hence, why I bought her more." Gram spoke up.
"Ummm...I sorry to ruin the moment, but this is really heavy."
"Oh! Sorry Brolly you can set it down now."
"Thank God!" Brolly gently set it down and went back to sit with his parents.
Gram stood up, "Well I think that's all of um. Let's eat cake." She clapped her hands and made her way over to the cake.
"No there is one more." Everyone looked at Vegeta, who spoke very low. He looked up at Bulma and pulled a box out of his pocket. She smiled at him as he handed her the box.
She opened it to find a oval locket, in the center of the front was a small sapphire. She opened it to see two pictures of Vegeta, one his senior picture, frowning and one of his football pictures, frowning. She looked back up at him. "I love it."
"Look on the back dork." Vegeta said rolling his eyes.
Bulma turned it over and saw I'm yours forever. She looked back up at Vegeta with a big grin and ran into his arms. She whispered in his ear. "I love you."
Vegeta blushed as she turned around and asked him to put it on her, her whole family was watching. He was hoping to give it to her when it was just the two of them, but since she gave him his, he decided to do it then. He placed it on her neck and her family turned for cake. He leaned down and kissed her neck. "Me too."
