Disclaimer: I DO NOT own DBZ, Savage Garden or I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You. I also don't own this story, Jenna or anything else so DON'T sue me!!!!
Notes: This chapter is something of a Song fic. This is the song Goku was listening to in Chapter 6 as they were going back to sleep after making love that morning. This is the song that I was thinking of as I wrote chapters 5 and 6 actually…
Forbidden Encounter
Chapter 12
By Lady Valtaya
Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe
The radio was playing softly as Jenna began to stir, feeling a little groggy. She smiled, finding herself wrapped up in Goku's arms she felt warm and needed, but contentment was eluding her this morning. This was their song, the one that was playing on the radio last Saturday morning. Goku had told her he liked it and she nodded, vaguely remembering that she had heard it too. Normally she loved lying in his arms, watching him sleep, feeling his awesome strength and the warmth of his embrace. But last night it had become abundantly clear that to stay together would hurt too many other people. Goku had a family, and a responsibility to be with them, and this time, it seemed, they weren't going to let him forget it. Even as much as she loved him, and as much as she loved this song, her heart was restless with fear this morning.
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
In one week she had gotten to know him better than she had ever known anyone before and it scared her to know that she had to loose him already. Wrapped up in several blankets and sheets, as well as his arms Jenna should've been warm, but she couldn't stop shaking. She hadn't ever met a man like him before, he was so passionate, and not just when they made love... he was warm and kind and friendly. For one week it had been heavenly. When she looked into his eyes it was like magic, there were times that she swore he was reading her mind. She felt as if sometimes she could reach out to him with her thoughts and feel him respond. How could it be wrong when every part of her body and soul felt to close to him?
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe
And yet… last night Goku's family had come to find him. Had he really attacked his own son? Bulma had seemed certain, but Goku could never do something so awful! Could he? When he had been dumped on the bed next to her, Goku had been out cold, and at first that had scared her, but when he awoke, he had been so careful with her… Jenna hadn't ever made love that way before. She liked it that he was always so dominant in bed; it was exhilarating to have a lover that was so strong, and who had that much stamina. Yet last night had been wonderful too. He hadn't said anything, or let her talk either, she had wanted to demand that he tell her what had happened, but instead, all of her anger, all of her fears of loosing him, needing him to tell her he wanted to stay- in one kiss all of it was gone. All that mattered was that they were safe, in each other's arms.

She was being selfish. Yet something about what Bulma had told her just wouldn't leave her mind. " I know Goku, and you couldn't have seduced him if it wasn't meant to happen." So where did that leave them? Just the thought of loosing him made it feel like an ice pick had been shoved through her heart and was slowly being twisted, but if it was supposed to happen why did it have to hurt his family? Jenna liked kids, and Goten seemed like a real sweetheart, she already knew meeting Gohan was not going to be pleasant, but she had hurt him somehow, and she knew he had every right to be angry.
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
Jenna rolled over in Goku's arms and sighed. Although he had had plenty of energy to make love to her last night, he looked exhausted, and very sore now. How dare he get in a fight with his son? True, he had been protecting her, but surely there could've been another solution! "Remember Jenna, he's not human. Saiyans are incredibly aggressive and powerful. They share their heart and soul with their mates, and will die to protect them." She sighed. She had always found such an idea romantic… but now she wasn't so sure, because what would be the point of such a fight in the first place if he had to die just to win? She would still be without him. What if she had lost him last night? Or worse, what if he had killed his son? Would it change how he felt about her? He talked about his sons often, and she knew he loved them very much.

Tracing the lines of muscle in the arms wrapped around her, Jenna sighed again. With a growl she squirmed around to face him again. " Goku. Wake up. We need to talk. " She could only hope that she could stay mad at him, knowing that he would pounce on her if she didn't stop him. But it was Saturday, so at least she didn't have any classes to worry about missing today, so if he did pounce on her all they'd really miss would be breakfast. He looked awfully inviting at the moment too, she had to admit. All those muscles, and his skin was so warm and soft over them. When he slept he seemed so innocent, as if he were responding to her interest he held her closer and began to purr. He was beautiful, like a living work of art, a character straight out of her deepest erotic fantasy, and yet he was alive, and he loved her as much as she loved him.

She knew how to wake him up… but she still wanted to talk, rather than spend what little was left of the morning breathless and dazed from their lovemaking. Usually he would already be awake and interested in food by now, she growled. Then she remembered the nasty bruise on his side, over his right kidney, and poked it firmly with the pad of her finger.

Goku moaned and winced shying away from the pressure on his side as he sat up and looked around. " Ouch. I guess you didn't know your own strength last night, Jenna. "

I have been…
" Goku… " She shut off the alarm clock as she slid out of bed and into her robe. " We need to talk. "
" Uh… ok. "
" Goku, last night I didn't know what was happening while I was unconscious, but it scared me to death to hear that you attacked your own son! "
" What? "
" Gohan came here to find you last night… but he… The door hit me somehow and you attacked him! "
" What? "
" You heard me. " Jenna said softly, as tears started to well up in her emerald eyes. " I guess I've cost you enough trouble. I think, maybe it would be better if… "
" What are you talking about, Jen? All we did was watch movies last night. "
" Don't you remember? After the first one ended there was a knock at the door, Goku, that was you're son! I'm the one that got hit in the head! I woke up and your friend Bulma was sitting next to me. She told me what happened, and I think she was still here when the guy with the weird long blonde hair tossed you in bed with me. You were unconscious, so I can only guess that it was Vegeta, and that you didn't hurt anyone… but still, Goku your son is only 17, he didn't know what he was doing. You shouldn't have hurt him. Kami, none of this should've happened! I love you, but it doesn't make it ok to throw their lives away… "
" Jenna, the way I feel about you doesn't mean I am going to stop caring about my kids. I still love them. "
" Have you told them that? Gohan is still young; he needs his father. When you told them you were leaving their mother, didn't they try to talk you out of it? "
" Jenna, " Goku paled and sat back down on the bed slowly. " it was just Chichi and I there that night, and I was so- I mean she told me to leave so I did. "
" You left them without saying goodbye? Oh Goku. " Jenna whispered as she sank down in front of him and wrapped her arms around his waist. " No wonder he was angry. I wish things hadn't happened quite this way. I'm so sorry, Goku. I promise I won't try to talk you out of going back to them. "
" Jenna please, don't say that. I don't want to lose you. I don't love Chichi, and I don't want to lie to myself about it anymore. I love our kids, but she and I haven't really gotten along since I found out Vegeta and Bulma were supposed to get together. It was like something just woke up in side of me, and now that I know it's there, I don't want to deny that it's there anymore. That part of me was never happy with Chichi, even before my brother came to earth something was missing when I looked at her. But I didn't know what it was until almost 10 years ago when Trunks came to warn us about the and... uh never mind. But the point is I love you, Jenna. I think I have since that night on the beach. I don't know how you can ask me to give you up. "
" Damn it Goku we've only known each other for a week! We might wake up some morning and decide we hate each other! Yes the sex is unbelievable but that wears off after a while and then what will we do? Your friends won't understand what you've done to your family, my friends well… they weren't that great to start with, but my family won't understand. This whole thing is insane! What are we going to have when this affair is over? You don't know anything about me, damn it! "
" I know that you're bold and passionate. I know that you have the heart of a fighter, Jenna and a noble spirit because you are willing to give up your own happiness to protect people you don't even know. I know that it's hard to do that, because I've had to make that choice myself. But I've seen you in my dreams every night since that party, I don't know why you chose me that night, but I don't regret it. I love you; I can't just leave you or let you leave me. I've spent my whole life thinking about everyone else, always doing what was right, never stopping to think about what I wanted. I love Gohan and Goten, nothing will change that, but I can't go back to pretending that I love Chichi, she deserves better than that. She was a good wife to me, but I didn't marry her for love. "
" I don't understand. Why would you marry if you didn't love her? "
" Honor. I agreed to marry her before I knew what marriage was. Besides, I cared about her, and she seemed to really love me. I didn't know that I wasn't in love, we were both really young and when Gohan was born, everything still seemed fine. It wasn't until… Jenna, I guess I didn't want to tell you this, but I'm really not just an ordinary guy. I'm not even from earth… "
" You're a Saiyan. I know. Bulma told me. I don't care if you're from earth or not, but I already knew you weren't ordinary. I can't explain it, not even to my own heart, but I knew I loved you before I met you. I just wish that it hadn't hurt so many people to bring us together. I don't know how or why, but I was drawn to you. I don't want you to regret what you are, Goku, I love you anyway. "
" That's kind of what I meant before. Until I met you I never wanted to be a Saiyan. I didn't want to admit that there is a part of me that feels very dark sometimes. That darkness is something that I've never had any trouble controlling, but I know it's there and just knowing it scares me sometimes. I love to train, and try to protect the earth and my family and friends… but really I can't deny that I just love to fight. All my life everyone has always depended on me to be the hero, to be perfect, but I'm not. " He sighed holding her tightly. " I was born a Saiyan but according to Vegeta I don't even do that right. I've always wanted to believe that I was an earthling because I didn't want to be like the warriors who attacked us. I didn't want to believe that I was supposed to be so evil, to admit that I could feel it deep down, that I am one of them. I thought it would've meant that my whole life here on earth was a lie or a mistake. I didn't want to understand the deep restlessness in my heart that I felt when I looked at Chichi, after I figured out that I didn't love her. I never wanted to admit that I could feel it in my soul that I made a mistake when I married her. But she gave me Gohan and Goten, and I tried to stay with her for them. But now that I have you, I feel very different about a lot of things and I do want to understand my race and what we are, but most of all, I want to make you mine, Jenna. I can't lose you, Jen! Please, it has taken me too long already just to figure out that you are what I have been searching for all my life. I love you. You are the only person I know that doesn't treat me like I'm a little kid, an innocent angel or an idiot. "
" I can't help feeling like it's a mistake to rush any farther into this. But… I don't want to lose you either. Just promise me that you'll tell your kids what is going on. I can't imagine what an awful person they must think I am. "
" What do you mean? "
" Didn't you hear me tell you that Gohan hit me with the front door last night? I think he knows you're sleeping with me, but I can't imagine how. "
" He hit you? "
" Don't you dare get mad, Goku! Yes, he hit me with the door as I went to see who was there. "
" But how do you know that, did he tell you? "
" Goku. Bulma told me. I told you she was here last night. I've already told you all of this. "
" Yes, but how did Bulma know? "
Jenna paused. "Actually, I don't really know... Look, I just want a shower. Maybe I'll feel better then, but I'm really confused right now. I woke up last night, she was here and you were gone… then she tells me that you were off somewhere fighting her boyfriend because it was the only way to keep you from hurting your son. I didn't know that to think. But when he came and dropped you next to me… I didn't understand it, but I knew it was true. I think Bulma cares about you too much to excaudate something like that… "
" I know she does too. Jenna, but I don't remember anything about last night, except the movies we were watching, and laying there, holding you. I really don't. " Goku sighed quietly, heading for the kitchen as Jenna went into the shower.
Goku was just reaching for his favorite cereal when he caught a familiar scent. He sniffed again and growled audibly. He stopped at the doorway that opened into the living room wondering about the sudden urge to defend his territory against his intruder, but unable to deny them. He prowled into the living room and found Vegeta watching him from the sofa. The prince lay on his back holding Bulma in his arms, using his ki to keep her warm while she slept. Vegeta's expression was a smirk, and he was purring. He could only stare at Vegeta for a moment, as surprised at hearing him purring as he was curious about why he and Bulma were still there.
" So… Kakarrot. Are you ready to accept that you are a Saiyan yet or do I need to let you rage a few more times before you understand that you will never be one of these weaklings you are so fond of protecting??? You can pretend all you want, but it doesn't change that you are a Saiyan. You can't suppress it forever. Although watching you try has been amusing so far. "
" What do you mean, Vegeta? "
" Come on Kakarrot. I know that you don't remember attacking Gohan last night, or fighting me for that matter. It's because you raged; you lost control. Usually that only happens to Saiyans when we look at the full moon. But when a bonded mate is injured or otherwise seems to be in danger, it can also happen then. The circumstances that allowed you to make the transformation to Super Saiyan also triggered that primal rage, but you were already focused on Frieza then, and you were already aware of his hostility. That rage is part of us, Kakarrot. It can be controlled and it can be stopped internally but first you have to admit that it's there. "
" Go away Vegeta. " Bulma moaned sleepily, before snuggling her face into the crook of his neck. " Mmmm… I love it when you purr. "
Goku smiled at her, glad that she was so happy with Vegeta. Without meaning to, his eyes slid down her body, Bulma was still incredibly beautiful. Pale skin, and with long blue hair, it was no wonder that she had caught Vegeta's eye. And since she had, Goku couldn't help noticing that Bulma's curves seemed even more perfect in the tight clothes she always wore. Undeniably, Bulma was in better shape now than she had been when she was a teenager.
" Watch it, Kakarrot. That's my mate you're inspecting. " Vegeta growled, but he was still smirking when Goku looked up at him. "Speaking of mates though, why hasn't yours claimed you yet? "
" What do you mean? "
" Must you always be such an idiot? " Vegeta growled. " She hasn't marked you. But I do smell her on you, so you have marked her. "
" Vegeta! " Bulma whined, starting to wake up. " I'm tired. Can't you be quiet? "
" I'm talking to Kakarrot. "
" What's Goku doing here? " Bulma cracked one eye and then sat up quickly looking around in confusion, apparently unaware that she was naked. " Where are we? "
" You're at Jenna's house. But what are you doing here? " Goku asked.
" Would you believe we're having a slumber party? " Bulma grunted, crossing her arms over her breasts, well aware that they didn't cover much, she glared at her mate. " Without any clothes. "
Vegeta snorted but otherwise ignored Bulma as he pulled her back into his arms. " There was a chance that my knocking you out last night could have made you more angry when you awoke, rather than calming you down. I couldn't take the chance that you might go after Gohan again if I had left last night. That's why you have to accept that you are a Saiyan. You are a danger to those around you if you won't admit that you have darkness inside of you that you have never tried to understand before. Until you met her it wasn't a problem because your instincts were still dormant. Last night proved that you're bonding, and it has awakened your other instincts as well. It's not a bad thing, Kakarrot. But I'm sure it will take you a while to get used to it."
Bulma scowled. " You're going to talk to him now, aren't you? You jerk Vegeta! You promised you'd take me home so I could get dressed first! "
" I'm sure Jenna could find you something to wear. You're practically the same size that she is. " Goku told her cheerfully. " I'll go ask her. "
" I can tell you right now she and I don't have even close to the same breast measurements, Goku. So it'll be a tight fit I'm sure. " Bulma growled letting Vegeta get up, still scowling at him as she watched him get dressed. " One of these days, Vegeta, I will find something to wear that you can't tear off of me. "
" You're welcome to try. " He purred, nibbling at her lips, then he tugged on his shirt, and kissed her again. " I'll still make sure you know that you're mine, minx. "
