A/N: hey everyone!!!! I hope everyone likes this chappie!! I wish more would review, flames are welcome!! Thanks to chiku, my one reviewer, you are great!!! I am glad someone voices their opinions!! You rock!

 

Bulma pulled in the drive and stepped out of her car. It was about 10:00 A.M. and she was amazed at how fast she had arrived there. 'Wow,' she thought, 'I must have been in so much a hurry that I completely lost track of time.' Indeed, she had gone a bit too fast for the trip to Goku and Chichi's.

She knocked on the front door. She heard a bit of rustling and then some yelling, and the door opened. "Bulma, how are you! I'm so glad you could get away! I know you are so busy with work and everything. Come on in!" Chichi said all this in one breath and then ushered her inside.

They entered the dining room that was connected to the kitchen. Goku and Gohan were munching on a whole stack of pancakes each while Piccolo was content with just a bottle of water. "Here you are Bulma, eat up! You are looking really skinny. You should get some meat on your bones." With that Chichi put a small stack of pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon on a plate for Bulma.

"Chichi, that really wasn't necessary." but Bulma was cut off when Chichi said, "No, no Bulma. You can't really expect to live off a small dinner everyday, now can you?" With that, Chichi took her spot at the table with a plate significantly smaller than Bulma's and proceeded to eat.

Bulma started eating what she could when Goku started talking to her, "So, uh, Bulma. How's Capsule Corp. doing?" Bulma looked up from her food and said, "Just fine. We have received contracts from all our former investors saying that they would be on board for the upcoming year and we have a few more investors." Bulma ended that with a broad smile that anyone but Goku would consider genuine.

"Bulma, is something bothering you?" Goku asked uncertainly. He really didn't want to push any issues with her. After all, he knew that sometime in the next three years that Bulma and Vegeta would have a baby so that would mean something special, right? Goku kept telling himself that over and over again, hoping against hope that Vegeta wouldn't hurt her.

"No, why would you ask?" Bulma answered a little suspiciously as she studied his face trying to see if he was up to anything. Once she had decided that he was genuine, she returned to her food.

"Gee, Bulma" with that famous son grin, and his hand behind his head. "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just wondering if that Vegeta was getting to you or something?" At this Bulma visibly flinched. She really wasn't sure how to answer that question.

Piccolo and Goku both picked up on that flinch. Piccolo decided he should step in at this point. He knew Vegeta could be a cold-hearted bastard if he wanted to so he decided that he should probably see if Vegeta is doing something that could potentially hurt Bulma. Piccolo didn't like-like Bulma, but he did come to terms with the fact that she was on some level his friend so he needed to protect her if something was wrong.

"Are you going to answer his question, Bulma? Is there something you are not telling us?" Piccolo spoke these words very seriously and it scared Bulma a little bit. "No!" Bulma said that a little too loud and fast for Goku and Piccolo's comfort. "Bulma, are you okay?" Chichi asked uncertainly.

This time Bulma thought before she spoke. "Oh come on you guys! Y'all know how Vegeta is. 'Woman, fix me lunch!' 'Woman! Fix me the gravity chamber!' I mean, that would wear down on anyone after living with him.

Goku and Piccolo seemed to accept this answer. Although, they consciously decided they would keep this event in the back of their minds for a very long time. "Well, I'm finished! Hey Dad, can we go train in the mountains again!" Yelled Gohan excitedly.

Goku and Piccolo put their empty containers in the sink and strolled toward Bulma. "Alright Bulma. I'm gonna go now. You take care of Chichi for me, okay?" Goku asked playfully. "Sure Goku, more like she'll take care of me!" Bulma joked back. The three boys left the table, leaving the girls by themselves.

"So, Bulma, would you like some coffee?" Chichi asked, breaking the silence that had lasted for about 2 minutes. "Oh yes please, that would be great!" Bulma dumped her unfinished food in the garbage disposal and went back to the table.

"So Bulma," Chichi said as she started washing the dishes. "You wanna go shopping today?" Bulma thought this over. It would give her a great excuse to go by home and do her stuff with Vegeta. 'What ever that may be.' She thought. Yet she couldn't seem to suppress her little bit of lust at the thought of his naked body.

"You know what Chichi? That sounds great! But, you think when I get done I can go home for a little while to drop my stuff off and see what his royal highness needs?" Bulma said this all very sarcastically. Even though she knew that she was totally telling the truth about needing to go to his house.

"Sure Bulma, no problem." Their shopping trip consisted of going to four malls, five stores made for the rich, and a wal-mart. (For Chichi, of course. Chichi wouldn't allow her to spend too much money on her.) At 7:30, Bulma drove to her home in West City, promising Chichi she would be back. She got out of her car and walked in the house. She put her bags in her room and went to Vegeta's room. She could not believe what she saw when she went in there.

 

A/N: I know, it's a cliffhanger!!! Thanks again chiku.
