Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Not Meant For Me ❯ Meant For Me ( Chapter 5 )

Authors notes-ok I ran out of songs but this is my last chapter anyway. And no that wasn't trunks that died and no one knew she was preggers cause she had stopped eating and stayed away from others in her depression. So she didn't gain weight normally nor had anyone to notice the difference.

Also thanks for the comments and to answer you question DBZ Lover in the fic it says it skips to months later so she is actually about 3 months pregnant. And no as I said in the summery, it was only part 4 of 5 I like happy endings lol there's no way I could just leave it like that

Deep in space on a unknown planet Vegeta fought for his life. As a meteor shower hailed down on him he tried desperately to fight back.

`I'm a failure I'll fail at this to and my reward will be death. Death on this barren planet unknown, unremembered, and unloved.'

Another large meteor was now barring down on him and he slumped his shoulders in defeat. Something flashed in his mind, a brief image of Bulma in pain. He didn't know where it came from or whether it was true, but he had to find out. Some where deep down he knew something was wrong, and even though she didn't love him he would still die to protect her. With an agonizing scream he broke through all the mental, physical, and spiritual barriers and received his long awaited status as super Saiyan.

-On Earth-

"Honey are you sure we shouldn't tell her?" Mrs. Brief's asked.

"She's been through a lot I mean she did try to kill her self if we want her to get better we don't need to bring up something like that. Maybe we'll tell her some day but now is definitely not the time. The Doctor agrees with me on that."

"Ok if you're sure…."

Bulma came out of her medicine-induced stupor. Her throat was raw and her stomach felt strangely empty. She ran a hand through her hair trying to sort everything out. She remembered taking lot's of medicine so they must have pumped her stomach and that explains why she felt weird. Wait wasn't there something else? She vaguely recalled something about…… a baby? She was pregnant? No it had to be part of the drugged hallucination she was experiencing.

She heard a light knock on the door and then her parents entered. She knew she was going to be in for a long talk on what happened.

-a month later-

Bulma sat in her room staring out across the lawn. She now has a live in nurse to make sure the "unfortunate incident would not happen again" at least that's how her parents like to put it. She also had to see a therapist twice a week. They opted not to put her on medication for now as long as they saw improvement in her attitude. So she faked it, she acted cheerful around them and smiled but it was only on the surface. She was shaken from her melancholy daydreams by a house-rocking boom coming from the backyard.

"No it couldn't be…… could it?" She took off running towards the backyard and there setting in its usual spot like it never had left was the G.R.

Bulma's knees collapsed under her as she stared wide eyes at the structure in front of her. The door of the G.R. opened and there stood Vegeta. He walked out slowly his gaze settling on the women on the ground before him. He quickly surveyed the new state of her health. She was paler then he had ever seen her with odd bruises around her mouth and under her eyes. She has light pin hole scars on both of her arms and bruising up her arms from where the IVs had been. She looked weaker more fragile then he had ever seen her.

"Women what the hell is wrong with you." He said softly will no malice. He frowned as he walked over to her and scooped her up in his arms. She started crying and clung to him like there was no tomorrow.

"Vegeta I'm sorry please never leave me again." She said in between sobs.

"Don't worry women I don't plan on it." What could have caused her current state of distress it was obvious he had been wrong on her feelings towards him. Had his leaving caused this? He took her back to her room and deposited her on the bed but as he tried to leave she still clung to him.

"I'll be right back… I promise." With that she let go and went to find her parents to see what had happened those months he had been gone.

Dr. Briefs had been working in his lab when a very irate Saiyan stormed in.

"Old man, what the hell has happened to your daughter."

Dr. Briefs didn't know what to think. This man they had been giving room and board to for nearly a year had just up and vanished and was now back demanding to know about Bulma. He didn't think they where that close but apparently Vegeta had cared more then he let on….. His eyes went wide for moment. `Could this be the father to the baby Bulma lost or was her x's Yamcha.' It was not something he wanted to discuss but if it was true maybe he should know.

"Well my boy. Bulma…. Had a bit of a break down a few months ago. She wouldn't eat she's just mope around all day. We thought it was just a phase. She had just broke up with Yamcha so we thought that's what she was upset about. Apparently it was worse then we realized for a month ago she tried to kill herself. So please don't upset her she's had a hard time lately and we're trying to get her back on the right track."

As Dr. Briefs debated to tell him the other half of the story he watched as Vegeta just stood there eyes wide. Vegeta's expression was nearly impossible to read. If only he knew what he was thinking.

"Vegeta, I know you don't really care for me but I really need to know what my daughter means to you. I just want to protect her and I know you and her seemed to get along well enough but I don't want her hurt again."

Vegeta's eyes narrowed. He was not one to share his feelings especially with senile old fools that nearly let their daughter die. Vegeta sighed heavily. He guessed he would have to let him know eventually. It was customary to let the father of a female know when one wanted to mate with his daughter. He figured that customs on earth couldn't be that different.

"I plan on taking her as mine…. Forever. I want he to be my mate." Vegeta said with as much dignity as he could muster.

Dr. Briefs' eyes widened. His wife would be happy that's for sure. Maybe Vegeta was the father of Bulma's baby.

"Then there is something else I need to ask you Vegeta. Under normal circumstance I would not want to know or interfere with my daughters love life. She's a grown women and it's her business, but where you and her `cough' together before you left?"

Vegeta eyed him warily. He had just told him he wanted her forever what should it matter if they had already slept together. Hell he wasn't ashamed of it but he knew that Bulma was touchy on the subject.

"Yes….. why do you want to know old man. If you think your going to stand in the way of me taking your daughter as mine you have another thing coming."

Dr. Briefs sighed "No Vegeta there's something else. It's something that Bulma doesn't even know we've been debating on how to tell her but all considering maybe you should be the one. See, Bulma was pregnant…."

"Was?" Vegeta said not liking where this was going.

"When she tried to kill her self it induced a miscarriage. Apparently she never even knew she was pregnant and from what you just told me I could only assume it was yours. It was to young to have happened when she was still with Yamcha."

Vegeta felt like some one had just kicked him in the stomach. Because of his foolish pride not only did the only women he ever loved try to kill her self it had ended the life of his child. He fought the urge to cry as he turned away and made the walk back to Bulma's room contemplating what to tell her.

When he entered her room she looked up from her position on the bed. Seeing the scowl now imbedded on his face she became frightened. He must have found out what she did and now thought her a coward. `Oh Kami now he'll never want me' she thought bitterly.

"Why?" Is all he said in a simple yet demanding tone.

"I.. I don't know. My entire life I've been strong. Maybe not physically but my will has always been strong. I've always had a purpose a reason for living. Then things started to fall apart. My world didn't seem so great anymore. When I lost Yamcha I realized that most of the things I've been telling my self, my entire life was a lie. He wasn't the one meant for me. I didn't love him or he love me as nearly as much as I wanted. I was living for a dream. I was living for a love and a life that wasn't what I thought. Even though I tried to help the other out I always seemed to get in the way. I started to think I was useless. Then I made the biggest mistake of all. Pushing you away. I love you. I don't know why or how it happened but I do. When you left I tried to tell my self other wise but it felt as if there was a hole in my that kept growing. It took away my feelings and ability to reason. Then finally I just gave up. I figured what was the point anymore. I know it's stupid and weak but that is why I tried to kill my self." She ended softly as tears rolled down her face.

Vegeta just stared at her for a moment taking it all in. Then quickly he closed the distance between them by putting his arms around her and burying his face in the crook of her neck.

"I did not think that you loved me. I did not think anyone ever would. Most of all I do not think you are weak. I know the feeling well, the feeling of desperation and emptiness. For it is something I've lived with my entire life. I lived my entire life knowing nothing but hate and coldness until I met you. I know you do not understand me always, just as I do not always understand you but if you still want me I want you. This time I want you forever. I want you to be my mate. We can fill the emptiness in each other, and above all I never want you to try anything like that again. It would kill the little bit of warmth left in my heart if something happened to you."

Bulma pulled back a little so that she could look into his eyes. She could feel the honesty and intensity in what he was saying as well as the difficulty he was having professing such feelings.

"Forever?" She said hesitantly.

"Forever." He replied afraid she would reject him again.

"Good I couldn't stand it if it was any other way." She smiled for the first time in the long months that had passed she genuinely smiled. Bulma pulled him close and kissed him desperately.

Vegeta just wanted to fall into the moment but he knew there was something else she had to know before they continued.

"Bulma stop. There is something you need to know. Your father told me and has been too much of a coward to tell you him self. First though I want you to know I love you and I don't blame you for what happened. You didn't know and it's not your fault." He paused and Bulma looked at him with a worried expression. "When you tried to kill yourself….. it caused a miscarriage. You where pregnant at the time with what I'm assuming was my baby." He said as gently as possible.

"What? But how, I never knew……?" Millions of thoughts raced through her head and most of them soul crushing guilt.

`How could he not hate me for what I did.' She thought as she looked into his eyes and saw the worry and fear that lay in them. She started crying again this time for a different lose. She cried for the baby she never knew about.

"I'm sorry Vegeta."

"I'm sorry to woman. I'm sorry but there is nothing we can do to change it all we can do is move on and try again. Next time this will not happen." He said holding her gently.

"You're sure you want there to be a next time?"

"Yes woman I told you want you to be my mate. I fully expect you to be…what's the phrase you earthlings use `barefoot and pregnant' very soon." He said slightly chuckling. "After your completely well that is."

"Oh Vegeta." She held him tighter. What he had said helped ease the pain in her a little knowing that he still wanted her. Suddenly she pulled back and punched him the arm before hugging on to him again.

"What that hell was that for woman?" he said bewildered.

"The punch was for the sexist comment, the hug was for cheering me up." She said feeling a little bit more like her old self.

"You never cease to amaze me Bulma."

"Would you want it any other way." She said teasing him.

"No, I want you just the way you are."

"I feel the same way Vegeta. I know that you where meant for me."

He smiled at her words. For once he felt like he belonged. He knew that there would be still a lot of pain for them to get through together, but then again that was the most important part of it, that they would be doing it together.
