This has been on my mind for a while so I thought I'd give it out there for all you Bulgeta Fans. Happy reading. X x This is gonna be short and sweet ;)

You Big Softie

Thunder clapped outside as the lighting was quick to follow, if hadn't stopped raining for two days, the reports informed the public to remain indoors until the storm would pass, that wasn't a problem for the brief family, Bulma had been prepared for the storm to arrive but she never expected it to be this big. She was currently on the phone with her father who was away on vacation with Bulma's mom, while Trunks was building his fort and baby Bulla sleeping in her crib in the nursery.

'Yes dad…. everything is under control here…just as long as you guys stay indoors too…okay…. yes….. he's okay, we're just gonna relax here….okay dad…stay safe….love to mom….bye' Bulma hung up the phone as she walked back into the living room and watched as he son built his fort

'Hey mom! Could you please pass another pillow?' he asked as she threw one in

'All you need now is some snacks' She giggled

'Yeah, I'm gonna get some brownies for the fort' Trunks grinned and ran into the kitchen to grab some snacks

'*SIGH* He's grown up so fast' she smiled as the Thunder clapped all over the house and flash of lightning struck in the dark black sky above them.

'Waaaa! Waaaa!' a cry was heard over the baby monitor as Bulma rushed up the stairs to the nursery and leaned into her daughter's crib

'Oh sweetie, you're okay it's just a little thunder' Bulma picked up her baby and rocked her in her arms, Bulla whimpered in her mother's arms as Bulma brought her downstairs and sat down on her couch with Bulla in her arms. Trunks was relaxing in his fort when his mind wondered

'Hey mom!'

'Yes honey'

'Where's dad?' he asked

'Well if I know your father (and I think I do) he'll be out training'

'In the rain?'

'Your dad is very stubborn, and no thunderstorm will put him off'

'I think you might be wrong….'

'Why do you say that?' She asked

'Because he's standing behind you' Trunks pointed as Bulma turned around seeing Vegeta there frowning. It looked like he had been struck by lightning. Bulma looked at him and was trying not to laugh.

'You okay sweetie?' she asked

'Hmph!' He huffed and walked passed them heading into the bathroom to wash up. he had been out training in the canyon, when the lighting showed up, he decided to make it more of a challenge for himself, and for a while he was keeping up with it, only for him to get to confident and too arrogant and thought he could fly through a lightning strike, safe to say the experience was 'Shocking'. He got himself cleaned up and wore his training Gi and went back to the living room

'Woman, I'll be out in the gravity chamber' he huffed

'You've just been out training! Can you just hit pause for tonight and come sit down!'

'Unlike you Humans, sayiens don't just lay around doing nothing!'

'But you do need to rest, Vegeta you literally just got hit by lighting, maybe that's Dende's way of telling you to take a break, one evening isn't gonna make a difference, in fact I bet Goku is at home relaxing with Chichi and the boys right now. Just relax. Please' Bulma insisted as He looked to his son who was nodding in agreement, he hated to admit when she was right, but his body was saying no to training right now.

'Hmph! Fine!' he slumped on the couch next to Bulma who smiled, Trunks turned on his video games in the fort as Bulma played some music and held a wide awake Bulla in her arms who was now looking into her mother's eyes

'Who's the prettiest girl! You are! Yes you are! You look just like your mommy don't you?' Bulma talked to Bulla in a baby voice as Bulla made some cooing noises as a response

'Must you talk like that?'

'What? Its baby talk! Its how she communicates, she likes it don't you Bulla? Yes you do' Bulma said holding Bulla over her head

'You parenting skills are questionable'

'Oh and I suppose yours are better, don't forget you weren't in the room when trunks was born, and I can't remember the last time you held Bulla and told her she's special'

'She doesn't need to know that if I tell her, she knows!' Vegeta huffed. Bulma knew he was right, sometimes he'd give this little smile to both his kids and she knew he would do anything to protect them from harm, and despite it all, he was willing to not to the power of the universe tournament because she was still pregnant. He really did care.

'You Big Softie' she giggled making him huff and blush

'I Am Not Soft!' He huffed as she giggled and rolled her eyes. A couple of hours went by as it was getting a little late and Trunks was still playing his video game.

'Trunks, turn that off now, its time you went to bed'

'Oh but I almost completed this level' he whined

'Come on young man, you have school tomorrow'

'Please mom I'm almost done' He asked as she grinned

'Okay I'll tell you what, if I can beat you in one of your video games, you go to bed, if you win, I will let you stay up for another 30 minutes' she grinned as his eyes lit up!

'Oh you're on!' Trunks smirked as Bulma handed Bulla over to Vegeta who took her

'Why are you giving her to me?' He huffed

'She's your baby too you know? You can take over while I beat your son in a different kind of battle' she said and crawled into the fort. Vegeta looked down at Bulla who was cooing up at him.

'Your mother is very annoying, I hope you don't turn out the same way. While she is with your brother and his preposterous game, its safe for me to inspect you without her intolerable cooing' he huffed and looked his daughter in the eyes as she looked at him smiling.

'Bah! I do not understand the fuss! You are fragile like a human and your power level Is embarrassingly low!' he huffed as he pointed at her as if he was telling her off, she then suddenly grabbed his finger and pulled it towards her as he felt a little strength from her.

'Got my Finger? Hmmm….. Not Bad. You have a respectable grip for an infant.' He admitted as she looked at him and began to babble but then she did something he wasn't expecting.

'D…Da…Dad…..Dada!' She called out as his eyes went wide and he looked at her, a sense of pride and joy washed over him. His daughter's first word?!

'W…what…..Did you just say? Was your first word….' He gasped

'Dad-Da….Dad…..dada…..dad…Dada….!'

'It Is! I, Prince of all Sayiens am my daughter's very first word! This is…..!' He was smiling in this moment, he was happy with her sense of achievement and was proud she spoke! He was happy to smile, only he didn't realise someone else had also seen and jumped into his arms as he still held Bulla!

'Oh My God! I Saw That! Our daughter made you smile!' Bulma squealed as she hugged Vegeta who was then Blushing hard

'YOU SAW NOTHING!' He huffed as Bulla giggled. Trunks was there laughing at the scene, even he had to admit his dad could be soft now and again. Trunks sat with His family on the couch as his mother teased his dad as he blushed like mad, still holding his sister and he couldn't help but laugh. Vegeta hated looking weak in front of his family but he knew deep down, having a family is what made him stronger. Like Goku, he is motivated to protect the woman he loves and his children. Bulma could sense his smile beneath his blush and she felt so much admiration and love for him. When she first met him, she was never feared him, she was brave enough to stand up to him, and Vegeta had never met a woman tough enough to stand up to him, her strength made him weak and it made him fall for her, it was slow but it was there. When they were together for those 3 years before the androids, they got to know one another better, and they developed a mutual respect for the other which then became love, and neither of them regretted it.

….

The storm was still going strong outside as the Brief family were still on the couch, all had fallen asleep there, Trunks rested his head on his mother's lap with a blanket over him, Bulma leaned her head on Vegeta's shoulder as Vegeta held a sleeping Bulla in his arms. Vegeta looked over his family and he smiled, he knew he had done some terrible things in his past but all of it, led to this moment, now he couldn't imagine doing anything, if it meant he was gonna hurt Bulma or his children. He wanted to do anything to protect them Because he loved them.

'Oh Dende! Bulma was right! I am A softie!' he huffed to himself, no one else could know that, only his family. And he was okay with that. He held bulla closely to him as she slept and rested his head on Bulma's as he fell asleep beside his family, relaxed and contempt.
