| Vegeta wasn't getting any better so Bulma calls Doctor Flores to set up the operation date. ~THE NEXT DAY~ "I don't want to go! And you can't make me you BAKA!" "Vegeta! If you don't get this operation then you might die!" "KUSO! Then wish me back! I'm not going!" "By Kami quit being so difficult!" She shoves him into the hover car with all her strength knowing Vegeta was too weak to fight back. "Now you listen you Bakayaro! Either you cooperate or no chocolate for you!" Vegeta only hmmphed and slid down in his seat ignoring the pain in his stomach. Trunks squeeled happily from behind Vegeta in his baby chair when Bulma tickled his chin. "Well, at least he's happy," Bulma sighed. "HE ISN'T GETTING CUT OPEN!" Vegeta crossed his arms and growled loudly. Bulma kisses his cheek and the saiyan suddenly relaxed with a secret smile crossing his lips. "That shut him up," she thinks. She then sticks her tongue out at the saiyan and starts the car. She wonders about the previous night and what Vegeta had told her. "He does love me he just doesn't show it around everyone else. Him and that stupid pride of his..." At the doctor's office Vegeta grinned when he saw Goku tapping his foot nervously. He was waiting for his turn to go after Gohan was done getting his shot. Gohan came out holding his arm with a few pained tears rolling down his cheeks. He had a pitiful expression on his face and Bulma felt sympathy for the boy. Goku gulps. Vegeta groans in pain as he takes a seat next to Goku and his wife. Don't worry Vegeta," Chi Chi replies. "After the operation the pain will go away." "Leave me be woman...can't you see I'm in pain! I'v had enough grief in one day I don't want to hear your endless chatter!" "Well I Never," she huffed then turned her attention to her son. Doctor Flores motioned for Vegeta and Goku to come and the two saiyans walked slowly into the room. "Why do you want me in here," Vegeta asked confused. Bulma grinned,"because you're getting a shot too!" Vegeta's eyes widen," NANIIIIII!!!!" Vegeta and Goku try getting away but both their wives were prepared for this and they held them down with all their strength. Goku thrashed like an angry child but avoided hurting Chi Chi knowing that she was pregnant with their second child. Any ways he loved her with all his heart. He didn't want to hurt her. Vegeta screamed,"YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME YOU BAKA'S!!!! I AM THE SAIYAN PRINCE VMMMPPPPPPHHHH!!!!" Oh HUSH YOU,Chi Chi hollared and grabbed a wad of tissues and stuffed the wad into Vegeta's mouth. Goku couldn't help but laugh then he felt the sting of the needle and hollared along with Vegeta. Vegeta fought so hard that suddenly he felt very dizzy and then the world around him goes black and his body goes limp. "He fainted," Bulma exclaims. Gohan blinks and hangs his head in shame. "Oh father I'm so ashamed and Vegeta is even worse." He rubs his tender arm trying to hide the redness. Vegeta feels as if he is dreaming but he see's flashes of white...black...white...black. He was in horrible pain and he could see Bulma holding his hand tightly and crying. "Hang on Vege-chan just hang on....the pain will go soon." Vegeta didn't want Bulma to go and like a child he reaches out to her calling her name in a weak nearly inaudible voice. Goku was staring sadly at the helpless Vegeta while rubbing his sore arm. Vegeta's body twisted in agony as a horrible pain spread from his abdomen all the way up his side and saw a worried expression on Goku's face. "Bulmaaaaa..," Vegeta called then he is wheeled into a room and a mask is placed over his mouth and nose. He tries to fight the doctors but the gas that he breathed in made him extremely tired and he closed his eyes as his body when limp. Bulma was crying in the waiting room and Goku patted her back talking reassuringly to her with his wife Chi Chi. "Don't worry Bulma, Vegeta will be just fine..I'm sure of it." ~HOURS LATER~ "Vegeta?" "Hai?," he whispers in tiny distant voice. "He's starting to awaken...we should notify MRS. Breifs." "Vegeta." Vegeta strains to listen to the distant voice and awakens to a blurred vision of Doctor Flores. He was in horrible pain. "You've just awakened from the anestesia Vegeta," she replies. "Your wife and friends are worried about you." In his half unconcious state Vegeta whispers weakly,"Bulma...I want Bulma..." He drifts back to sleep. The doctors wheel in the sleeping Vegeta into a hospital room where the whole gang awaited his arrival. Everyone watches as the nurse wheels in Vegeta who layed asleep with a peaceful look on his face. "He's starting to come around but please give him some space he needs to breath well. Goku nods and gets a little closer to his friend and knew that Vegeta was in extreme pain just by looking at him but he was glad that the surgery was over and he was okay."Don't worry Bulma," Goku replies. "The nurse to told me that he did great." Krillin stood amongst the sons and he felt sympathy for Vegeta. Nobody even Vegeta derserved such an operation, but he was told it had to be done or Vegeta would've died. He shudders at the thought remembering when Vegeta had poured his heart out to Goku on Namek and then died a slow and painful death. He knew Goku was glad that he was with them. He thought a few familiar faces would cheer up Vegeta...yeah...right. Bulma takes Vegeta's hand in hers and squeezed it a little whispering his name. Vegeta's sensitive saiyan ears picked it up and whispered in a tiny voice unfit for Vegeta, "Bulma-chan?" Everyone turned their attention to Vegeta who squeezed Bulma's hand in response to her holding his. "Hai, Vegeta. I am here." "Gomen.." "What for?," Bulma asks him confused. Vegeta opens his eyes half way and frowns. "You invited Kakarotto and that dumb bald guy..you..baka............" Vegeta falls back into a deep sleep. Bulma can't help but laugh. "I don't think he even realizes what he's saying." Everyone laughs with her knowing that Vegeta would throw a fit if he knew some of the things he said while half asleep. THE END |
