WARNING: This about male/male relationships if you have a problem with that then I suggest that you go elsewhere.

Notes: Wow, thank you everyone for the fabulous reviews! Everyone has a pretty good idea about whose the bad guys that wronged Vegeta’s mate, but what will happen when the Saiyan ouji finds out?

~oOo@oOo~

Bulma washerihering clothes for Vegeta and whatever else that the short Saiyan male needed. She didn’t know how long that he would be staying out in the middle of nowhere with Goku. She looked about the room and spotted a group picture of all of them.

She picked it up and studied it for a moment. It seemed like yesterday when this was taken. As usual Vegeta was standing in the back behind Piccolo facing away from the camera only giving a side profile; and Goku was standing in the front with determined look on his face. Krillin was on his right and young Gohan was on his left both posing in battle stances. Yamcha was standing behind Gohan and Tien was slightly in front of Yamcha with his arms crossed over his chest very much like Vegeta.

If anyone else was looking at the picture they might think that they were a bunch of thugs but she knew the truth. They were the world’s strongest fighters especially, Vegeta and Goku. Nothing could rival their awesome strength.

She sniffed a little remembering what she use to have. She cursed herself a thousand times over for being so stupid. Vegeta gave her two beautiful children and had put up with her stubbornness for years, but she wanted more she wanted him to start paying her some attention.

The only thing that he had on his mind was training and beating the living daylights out of Goku. Now as she thought about it she was no better. She would always be tinkering away on something in the lab or trying to get him to do family activities or totally ignore him all together.

Then she made the mistake of going back to Yamcha not that Vegeta was a bad lover it was totally the opposite. She just wanted him to take notice of her and he did but it wasn’t the desired effect that she wanted however.

Vegeta came to her and told her that he knew about the affair that she was having with that weakling and that if she didn’t end it that he would leave her.

Bulma just shrugged it off not really thinking that Vegeta would do it but he did. Vegeta had giving into the temptation of wanting to be with the last full-blooded male. For such a long time Vegeta was fighting with his Saiyan instincts to mate with the third class fighter.

Goku’s scent was overpowering. The mixture of Earth and wood was driving the Saiyan prince mad with desire. He was fighting against the bloodlust that was threatening to consume him. Bulma knew that right around the phase of a full moon that both Vegeta and Goku would go into heat and they had basically stayed away from each other during that time.

The blue haired scientist never dreamed that Vegeta let alone Goku would give into their animal instincts to be with each other; but Chi-Chi had warned Bulma a few months prior that Goku had be acting differently. He had stopped having sex with her and was sleeping the guestroom. To Bulma’s surprise Vegeta was doing the same thing.

Now, Bulma was left with nothing except Trunks and Bra the only evidence that she and the Saiyan royal were ever together. She had stopped seeing Yamcha. Well, he actually dumped her again for someone else, which had came to no shock to her.

Bulma placed the picture back down and finished packing Vegeta’s bag.

~oOo@oOo~

The Saiyan prince was outside a few yards away from the cabin as he started beating the Earth around him. He still felt closed off from Goku and couldn’t understand why unless the baka was still blocking him. His rage was only heightened more as his power level went through the roof. Nothing was safe from his bursts of energy. Trees were leveled. Rocks became piles of dust.

Vegeta had a strange feeling that something wasn’t right. The more he thought about it the more questions that came up. Considering that Goku was pregnant was a joy within itself but the timing seemed to be a little off for the prince.

The last time that they made out for him to conceive was back in November but that didn’t happen because they were in their altered forms.

For conception to take place they needed to be in their human form when the moon was at its fullest. So in essence Goku should be 3 months not two and that means if Goku was 2 months along he must have gotten pregnant in December.

Vegeta stopped in mid-air as realization hit him. He quickly flew back to the cabin. He entered through the back door as silently as he could and picked-up the phone and called Capsule Corp.

After he hung up the phone he’d marched straight into the master bedroom. He didn’t want to think that Goku would have cheated on him. That was impossible since they were bonded and mated. He sat next to the bed shaking Goku awake from a fitful sleep.

“Hmm?”

“Wake-up baka.” Vegeta’s voice was soft he didn’t wto uto upset Goku.

The other male forced his eyes opened to look into the hard-set features of his mate. “Hai, Geta?”

“Tell me the real reason why you came all the way out here Kakarott?”

“I just needed some time away that’s all,” Goku answered truthfully.

“Then why are you still blocking me?” Vegeta asked.

“I’m just under the weather. Nothing to be concerned about”

“Oh, but there is. You see Kakarott by you keeping yourself closed off like this you’re projecting a one-sided bond which is slowly driving me out of my mind. Now, stop with this foolishness and lower your barriers.” Vegeta demanded.

Goku was starting to panic. He couldn’t do that. Vegeta would definitely find out about what actually happened that night. “I can’t Geta”

“And why not?” Vegeta’s temper was starting to rise.

Goku sat-up in bed the covers dropped a little to his mid-section. Vegeta took one good look into his lover’s eyes and saw nothing but sadness. Was he not happy about the baby? Or was it something else? He brought his hand up behind Goku’s head and pulled him close. Their lips almost touching.

At that point in time Vegeta wasn’t going to pressure Goku any further. He saw that hartnartner was not feeling well, probably from the lack of rest and nutrition. The royal brought his lips down to his mate. Goku wrapped his arms around Vegeta’s neck, as the royal tasted him for the first time in months.

“I’m back!” Bulma called out from the living room

“Go back to sleep Kakarott.”

Vegeta left the bedroom to go talk to Bulma. Goku turned over once again to try and rest. He knew that he would not be able to keep up his mental defenses.

Vegeta’s mind was much stronger when it came to battling against his mind. The prince had proven that time and time again. Vegeta wasn’t pushing the issue, yet. Maybe that was why he was letting himself go mentally. He was giving Goku the opportunity to explain why he left.

~~ Living room ~~

Bulma placed the bag that she packed for Vegeta on the sofa and turned to face him. He had called her right before she left Capsule Corp. He wasn’t making any sense over the phone and just told him to wait until she came back to talk.

“Okay, Ge what’s up?”

“Kakarott’s pregnant,” Vegeta blurted out.

Bulma’s eyes widen to unbelievable proportions. “You just didn’t say that Goku is pregnant did you?”

“Yes, I did onna.”

“But how? That’s physically impossible” Bulma just couldn’t get over the idea that her friend was going to have a baby.

“Physically impossible for a human male but not for a Saiyan male. Vegetasei was almost a single sex society very few females existed. Long before anyone could remember the males of my race somehow managed to adopted and breed with each other.”

“But how were they able to do that?” Bulma asked now totally fascinated by the idea of male pregnancy.

Vegeta shrugged his shoulders. “Who knows. Some say science. Others say that the gods made it that way.”

“Okay. So, what has you all worked up about Goku being pregnant?”

“The brat isn’t mi Veg Vegeta snarled. He was trying not to get pissed.

“Say what?!!” Bulma yelled.

“Keep your voice down,” He growled.

“How do you kthatthat’s not yours?” Bulma figured out where this topic was heading.

“I just know. Has Kakarott said anything to you about why he left?”

/Uh-oh! Oh, man! This bites. Do I tell Vegeta or let Goku tell him? No, it’s best if Goku tells him/ Bulma fought with herself.

“Well, Ge. Something did happen but Goku needs to tell you---” Bulma said but Vegeta didn’t let her finish as he turned and walked away from her.

Without another word the short male stalked back into the room. Bulma cringed when the door was slammed shut. If Vegeta ever gets Goku to talk and tell him who assaulted him, may Kami help them all. The Saiyan royal was going to rip a whole in the known universe trying to find his mate’s attacker.

A/N: It seems that Vegeta denoted that the child is not his or is it? What do you think? Tell me your thoughts and any comments that you might have ^_~
