"AMI, this is really surprising. I thought everything is going well, in fact, whenever I came for surprise visits, I can see Goku's improvement, he seemed to be going back to his old self once more. He even went back to training with Vegeta in the Gravity Room once again, not to mention that I think you're really doing a good job as his private nurse. Why are you resigning now? Don't you want to work for Goku anymore?" Bulma asked Ami, who stood in front of her inside her office at Capsule Corporation. Earlier that morning, Ami called and informed her that she wanted to talk to her about something in private, so Bulma invited her to come over at the office so they could talk privately.
Ami shook her head. "No, Miss Bulma. In fact I enjoyed working for Goku and attending to him.. But.. But.." She didn't finish her sentence as her tears suddenly fell down her cheeks. Ami buried her face in her hands as she sobbed, startling Bulma completely.
"Ami? Is something wrong, dear?" Bulma asked with concern as she handed Ami a tissue.
"No... Miss Bulma, it's just..." Ami said in between sobs as she struggled to wipe her tears.
"Come on, you can tell me whatever it is that's bothering you.." Bulma urged softly.
By now, Ami had calmed down and stopped sobbing, but tears still flowed down her cheeks. She didn't know how to begin her story. Truth be told, she didn't want to talk about everything anymore because it just brings her more pain.
"I'M going to train with Vegeta, so don't bother waiting for me." Goku said in a cold tone as he closed the door behind him.
Ami didn't say anything, she just continued to wash the plates he had used. When she was sure that he had already left, only then did she allow her tears to fall.
It had been days since she confessed her love for him and he forced her to prove it to him, but the memory of what happened is still fresh in her mind. In fact, she had a hunch that she would never ever forget what happened between them, because it was the first time she felt such pain. Though she tried to act normal as she did her job, she found it hard to fight back her tears whenever she would see him, or the indifferent look he always gave her. Goku never bothered to talk to her about what happened, but eversince then, she figured out that he became the way he was like when she first met him once more: cold and hostile. However this time, it seemed to be worse than before. In fact, a day never passes by without him shouting at her or saying harsh words enough to bring her in tears. In fact, sometimes, he would even tell her that she is free to resign from work anytime she wants to, because according to him, he really doesn't need her to be there for him.
"GOKU, your dinner is ready." Ami said when she saw him entering the house. He had just come from Capsule Corporation from another intense training session with Vegeta. His clothes were torn and he looked really tired.
Goku frowned. "I already ate. You can have them." He said flatly as he turned to go upstairs.
"But Goku...-"
"But what? Didn't you understand what I said? I told you, I already ate. And I'm tired. I want to rest now." He snapped at her, making her flinch because of the tone of his voice.
Ami said nothing, she just started to gather the dishes that were still full of food. She had tired herself out to cook a huge meal for him, only for it to go to waste again. She tried to stop her tears from falling as she continued with her task. She would just let them fall later, when she is alone inside her room. Goku must not see or know that what he is doing is making her upset. He would tell her to leave once more, and she didn't want that.
"WHERE are all Gohan and Chichi's pictures?!" Goku's voice could be heard even from miles away from his house.
Ami flinched and cowered in fright. She decided to do a general cleaning session on the whole house while he was away training under the hopes that Goku would be pleased when he sees what she had done.
Had she known that it would turn out bad, she never would have tried to clean the whole place.
"T-They're in the living room, Goku. I.. I placed them on the side tables and..-"
"And what?! You did something without asking me first! Why did you remove my family's pictures from my room?! Did I even tell you to do that?! Answer me! Did I?!" He screamed at her.
Ami felt tears welling up in her eyes. "N-No... You didn't. I.. Don't worry, I-I'll get them and.. And return them to your room.." She stammered. Her heart was beating fast and she felt sweat running down the sides of her face. She couldn't help it. She always got scared whenever he yelled.
"You better do! And next time, don't ever do something without asking me first! Why would you remove Chichi and Gohan's pictures from my room? Because you don't want me to see them anymore? Because you want me to move on from what happened to them? Or is it because you're hurt that after all these years, I still love Chichi very much even if she is already dead? You said you loved me, right?" He asked her in a sarcastic tone, putting great emphasis on the words "hurt" and "loved".
Ami turned away from him and bowed her head so he would not see the tears that began falling down her face. "I-I'll get their pictures now..." And with that, she swiftly ran towards the living room to gather Chichi and Gohan's pictures placed in frames, her tears falling rapidly as she did. This night is definitely another one to add to her list of the nights she cried in secret because of him.
DESPITE all this, Ami remained patient as she continued to work as his private nurse. She would still tend to his needs even if he never showed appreciation for whatever she did anymore. Ami wanted to show him that whatever he does to her would never affect her, and even if she got tempted to resign from work and leave her job so many times, her love for him always prevailed, and the ideas of resigning from her work and leaving him alone would all be discarded.
However, one particular event finally made Ami to come up with the final decision of resigning from her work as Goku's private nurse.
"CONGRATULATIONS, Miss Mizuno. Your pregnancy test came out positive. You are now three months on the family way."
Ami felt cold when she heard what the doctor said. These past few days, she hasn't been feeling well. She always threw up whenever she woke up in the morning and afterwards, she felt really lightheaded. If possible, all she wanted is to just stay in bed and sleep all day. She also became quite sensitive to smell, she easily vomits whenever she gets to smell something which she finds repulsive to her sense. So when Goku left to go training that particular morning, she also left for the city to go and visit a doctor. And that's when the shocking news came.
Ami thought for a while. She had been so preoccupied with her work coupled with the emotional stress Goku was giving her everytime that she failed to notice that she stopped having her monthly period eversince she and Goku got intimate. Now, as she remembered her symptoms and realized that she had indeed missed her period for three months now, it does make sense. Goku didn't use any protection that night, so there is really a high chance for her to get pregnant.
As she left the doctor's office to go back to Goku's house, Ami had already made up her mind as she came up with a difficult and painful decision.
BULMA let out a soft gasp as Ami finished her whole story with a sob. She hadn't guessed nor did it even occur to her that all these would happen. She never thought that Ami would fall in love with Goku, in fact, so in love, because she willingly endured all those pains and heartaches because of him, something which Bulma herself doesn't know if she could do with Vegeta. And now, the girl is pregnant with Goku's child. Bulma couldn't help but feel sorry for Ami.
"What do you plan to do now? If you resign from work, you will have no source of income. You will need money, Ami. You are going to have a child soon." Bulma said, her eyes filled with concern for Ami.
"Yes, yes. I am perfectly aware of that, Miss Bulma. But.. Maybe I'll just apply for another job. I can't stay with Goku anymore. Not now that I'm having his child." Ami replied as she wiped her tears.
"Don't you think Goku deserves to know that you're having his child? Maybe this could change everything. Maybe he won't treat you in such a rude manner anymore if he finds out that you are carrying his child. Maybe he could even learn to love you because of that." Bulma said.
Ami shook her head softly. "No, Miss Bulma. I don't want Goku to love me or treat me well just because I'm having his child. If he will love me, I want it to happen spontaneously and not just because I'm having his child. And.. And I don't want my child to grow up and witness how he treats me. We're not even a couple, what will I tell my child when he or she grows up and asks me why his or her father treats me like that? I won't try to find another man though, for I don't think I can find someone whom I will love more than Goku. He will always be the one. But I will try to raise my child in any way I can. I will make sure that he or she will never be deprived of love or feel unwanted, because I know exactly how it feels." She explained as new tears started forming in her eyes.
Bulma became silent as she thought for a while. She knew how hard it is to find a job and she also knew that she could not just let Ami go and wander around jobless and homeless. Especially because she is with child. Her best friend's child. The thought of Goku having another son or daughter brought some joy to Bulma's heart, because deep inside her, she wanted him to finally be happy. Maybe having another child would finally help him to move on from the tragedy that befell his family seven years ago.
"Ami, I will be accepting your resignation, but I want to tell you that I'm not going to allow you to wander around the city jobless, penniless and homeless. Not with your condition. After all, that's my best friend's child, not to mention that I have also grown quite fond of you. So I decided to let you stay in one of my units at Capsule Corporation Towers. It's fully furnished so you won't have to worry about everything you need. There's also a robot there to attend to you. And as for your source of income, I'm not going to let you work while you are pregnant, so I'll provide you with your monthly allowance until such time that you give birth. I hope that would be fine with you." Bulma told the girl as she smiled.
Ami could not believe what she had heard. She never expected her employer to give her such an offer that she could never refuse. In fact, before she went here to talk to Bulma about her resignation from work, at the back of her mind, she was already worrying with regards to where she would stay now that she would be leaving Goku's house, and what new job will she apply for. But now, all her problems had been solved, because of Bulma's offer to her.
"M-Miss Bulma... I think that's too much, but I will accept it. With my condition, I know that I am definitely going to have a hard time finding a new job, not to mention that... That I don't want to stress myself while I'm pregnant. I... I want to take care of my baby, because he or she is the only remembrance yet the best one that Goku could ever give to me. Thank you so much, Miss Bulma. Thank you so much for your help and your concern." Ami told Bulma as tears fell down her cheeks.
Bulma went to Ami and she wrapped her arms around the sobbing girl. "Hush. Dry your tears now. You should not stress yourself, it's bad for your child." She said as she patted the girl's back.
"Sorry.. It's just that...-"
"Yes, I know. You've been through a lot. That's why you need to rest. Goku won't be back until evening so you have all day to pack your things. Then we're going to Capsule Corp Towers and I'll accompany you to your unit."
Ami just nodded.
"I do have one question, Ami." Bulma spoke when she suddenly seemed to remember something.
"What is it, Miss Bulma?" Ami asked.
"Do you want to talk to Goku so you could at least formally say goodbye to him before you resign and leave him? Or maybe you wish to inform him of your pregnancy." Bulma said to her.
Ami shook her head softly. "I don't think I can do that anymore. I.. I might just break down in tears if I see him again, how much more if I try to talk to him. And.. I have no plans to inform him of my pregnancy as of now. Maybe I'll just think about it in the future, but for now, I do not intend to let Goku know about it yet, that's why I do have one request as well. Please, Miss Bulma, don't ever tell Goku where I am and please don't inform him that you know about the real reason behind my resignation." She said in a pleading voice.
Bulma nodded. "I understand. I'll just make up an excuse to cover up for the true reason behind your resignation from work. Very well, let's go to Mount Paozu now so you can finish packing your things before noon." She said as she walked towards the door and exited her office, with Ami following her.
I'm gonna miss you, Goku. I'm gonna miss you very much. But I can't let our child grow up in such an abnormal situation, like the one we have. I want our baby to grow up in an environment where he or she won't feel deprived of love. I know you don't love me and you don't even have feelings for me. You have rejected me indirectly, and I do not want our child to experience that same thing.
