Chapter 20
DISCLAIMER: I don’t
own DBZ…or any of the shows that I rip off!
A/N – The
final chapter…the epilogue is here! It brings a tear to my eyes to finally be
writing the final chapter of this fic! I loved writing it so much! There is one
or two warning for this chapter: it contains Yamcha bashing and it’s going to
be a song-chapter to the song ‘Temptation Waits’ by Garbage which is the
song that inspired the fic…please do read the lyrics, you’ll know why this song
inspired the story when you read them!

I'll tell you something
I am a wolf but
I like to wear sheep's clothing
I am a bonfire
I am a vampire
I'm waiting for my moment

The entire Z gang was gathered outside of
Capsule Corp, they could all feel Vegeta’s ki getting stronger although the
space ship was not yet in sight. All of them were worried for her safety…well
almost all of them.
“I bet he killed her, I bet he….ate her or
something just as barbaric in space!” Chichi worried out loud.
Yamcha looked at the black haired woman and
nodded in agreement. “Yeah or else he jumped her bones, he always had a thing
for my girl.”
Tien gave Yamcha a jealous look. “I thought I
was your girl?”
“Shut up!” Yamcha hissed back, aware of the
disgusted look Piccolo was giving him.
“Either way, Bulma will be dead, I mean can
you imagine what kind of horrible things could happen with her and Vegeta of
all people stuck together in space? I mean, Bulma can’t stand him and the only
person Vegeta tolerates is himself! It’ll be a disaster! She’ll be dead! I just
know it!” Chichi’s voice grew shrill. “My poor friend! Dying all alone in
space!”
Goku and Piccolo exchanged a knowing look. “I
don’t think you’re going to have to worry snout Bulma being dead Chichi, I
think they’re going to be just fine.” Goku smiled, knowing that Vegeta wasn’t
the monster he pretended to be; he was a bastard, but he wasn’t a complete and
utter bastard…well…he was a bastard but not as much as a bastard as everyone
thought.

You come on like a drug
I just can't get enough
I'm like an addict coming at you for a
little more
And there's so much at stake
I can't afford to waste
I've never needed anybody like this
before

Goku and Piccolo alone knew the purple haired
strangers secret; that he was Bulma and Vegeta’s son from the future. As
unthinkable as it was, Bulma and Vegeta had been stuck in space together for
over six months, and it was very likely that Trunks had been conceived by now.
How exciting! Vegeta was going to be a daddy
just like him!
Piccolo looked up in the sky. “Yeah I bet
Vegeta and Bulma had a wild time together.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Yamcha glared
at Piccolo. “Do you know something I don’t?”
“Yamcha everybody knows something you don’t.”
Piccolo retorted snidely.
“Look! There they are!” Krillen shouted
excitedly as the spaceship came into view and settled down on the front lawn of
Capsule Corporation with a gentle roaring sound. It wasn’t Bulma’s ship but
they could feel Vegeta’s ki inside of it so they knew that it was their friends
inside and not some alien monster.
Well…unless you counted vegeta as an alien
monster.

I'll tell you something
I am a demon
Some say my biggest weakness
I have my reasons
Call it my defence
Be careful what you're wishing

Vegeta looked out the window of the spaceship
at the Z gang who had gathered outside his mate’s house. “You know Bulma the
last time I saw people like them I had to pay admission.”
“Vegeta! That isn’t very nice!” Bulma giggled
despite herself.
“Well it’s true.” Vegeta crossed his arms
over his chest as he stared at Yamcha, how he loathed that human! “Hey Bulma, Yamcha’s
parents were brother and sister weren’t they? I mean the inbreeding is a little
obvious in his family.”
Bulma finished shutting down the ships
engines and gave Vegeta a look that told him to behave himself. “I know you
haven’t had a good fight since that King Sanjo but please don’t go and start a
fight with Yamcha.”
“Woman, you said that if he pissed me off I
could fight with him. Well, if he pisses me off I will.” Vegeta grinned,
knowing full well that the human would piss him off inevitably.
Bulma gave him another warning look before
she opened the hatch and walked down to the outside world.
The Z gang all let out an ear shattering
shriek of excitement and rushed forward to hug Bulma, only Yamcha and Tien hung
back to glare at Vegeta as he strutted down out the door of the ship completely
aware of his aura of coolness.
He paused in front of Tien and looked him up
and down. “Let me guess, they cancelled the square dancing competition, right?”
Tien gasped; clearly hurt that Vegeta had insulted his outfit.
Yamcha, angry that his lover had been
insulted, poked Vegeta in the chest. “You can’t talk, I mean look at you!
You’re so small that when you get into fights all you can do is bite your
opponent’s ankles!”
“You know Yamcha if you pull your ears hard
enough you might just be able to get your head out of your ass.” Vegeta walked
away from the spluttering Yamcha and nudged Bulma who was getting a hug from
Goku. “Woman lets go inside…Woman!”
Bulma ignored him and hugged Chichi, Goku
however sidled up to him and gave him a friendly punch on the shoulder. “Hows
my favourite saiyan prince huh? Have any fun in space?” Goku winked at him.

Vegeta blushed, somehow that clown Kakarot
knew!
“I bet you must have spent all day long pounding
your aggression out, huh? I mean what with Bulma being there and all you
must have been going wild.” Goku grinned.
“Yeah sure, I spent all day training.” Vegeta
looked at Goku’s sneaky knowing grin and gave him a sneaky knowing grin in
return. “It was nothing but rigorous exercise for me!”

You are a secret
A new possession

Yamcha flounced up to Bulma and tried to hug
her. “Bulma I missed you!” He tried unsuccessfully to get a smile out of Bulma.
Before Bulma could reply Vegeta’s fist connected with Yamcha’s face and sent
the ex-bandit sailing into the side of capsule corp.
“Vegeta!” Bulma scolded. “You said you
wouldn’t fight with him!”
Vegeta shrugged and grinned as Tien hurried
over to his fallen love. “He pissed me off.”
Bulma laughed and hugged Vegeta, aware of the
other Z gang members, with the exception of Goku and piccolo, watching her with
their mouths hanging open as she hugged Vegeta and kissed him.

Vegeta wrapped his tail around her leg and
hugged her back, enjoying the shock of the other Z warriors; well he’d give
them the shock of their lives! “Bulma,” He crooned. “I love you.”
“I love you too my little love monkey from
space!” Bulma kissed him again as one by one the other Z warriors dropped to
the ground in shock and stayed there; slowing rocking back and forth with
traumatised looks in their eyes.
“You know what?” Vegeta picked Bulma up and
carried her inside capsule corp. “I think we should do that again.”
“Do what again?” Bulma asked as she started
to make food. “Destroy our friend’s minds by kissing in front of them?”
“Go into space again.” Vegeta grinned
wickedly. “After all I am going to go into heat every year now that I’ve taken
a mate.”
“Every year?” Bulma grinned even more
wickedly then Vegeta. “I think an annual trip into space could be arranged,
although we might have to miss it next year.”
“Why’s that?” Vegeta frowned.
“Because by that time were going to have a
small baby saiyan running around.” Bulma held her breath, unsure of Vegeta’s
reaction.

“You’re pregnant to me, huh?” Vegeta sat in
the kitchen chair and preened. “I’ll have to see if I can pop another kid out
of you then.”
“Vegeta!” Bulma laughed and hit him
playfully. “You’re such a bastard.”
“Yeah but that’s why you love me.” Vegeta
kissed Bulma and as he watched the other Z gang members wandering around
outside in a state of shock. He knew that he’d made the right decision to marry
the woman in space. They were perfect for each other and he never intended to
let her go.
He loved her.
