and baby makes four

[keepshispride]

[When they'd first agreed that it was time to make a second child, Vegeta had expected the early part of the process to be the most enjoyable. And for the first week or two, it had been very enjoyable. But then Bulma had failed to instantly become pregnant and... Well, obviously that just meant they had to try harder. Vegeta now knows more about ovulation than he ever expected to need to know. But the Prince of all Saiyans does not give up on any goal he puts his mind towards and Bulma was just as stubborn and nearly as obsessive as he was so math had been done and charts had been made and while the sex was still fun there was a businesslike quality to it.

And now it has been nearly three months and still Bulma wasn't pregnant. Not keen to voice any of his concerns out loud (and not sure what they all were in the first place), Vegeta has just tried to put it out of his mind for the last few days. As far as he can tell, so has Bulma.

In any case, all he wants to do now is sleep. It's been a long day. It's past midnight now and he's lying still in their bed, eyes shut and waiting for sleep to claim him. Which probably won't happen until his wife has stopped making a ruckus.]

Bulma, just go to sleep.

[Who says you can't teach prideful saiyans new tricks?]

Good, because I want you there.

[She met him halfway with the cuddling part by moving closer, closing the distance between the two of them]

I guess we should try to get some sleep.

[She reached for his hand and linked their fingers together over her stomach. There, better?]

[keepshispride]

'Bout damn time. [Oh, shush, Vegeta, you're excited about all this too.]

[And yes, better. Vegeta lets Bulma pull him into position and lies there still for a moment. Then he unlinks their hands and moves Bulma's forefinger over to a specific point on her stomach.]

There. [That's more or less exactly where the baby is.]

[Bulma's eyes were still closer, but the smile on her lips widened as she felt him move her hand to the precise point where the baby's ki could be felt. She wished she could sense the baby...]

Right there, huh? It's probably the size of a pea right now.

[keepshispride]

Smaller.

[Their child must be going to be incredibly powerful if Vegeta can sense them already. But that's to be expected.]

But yes, right there. Give or take a millimeter.
