Vegeta awakens to a horrible pain that throbbed in his toothless gums. He opens his eyes to find Goku still sleeping at his side. Vegeta blinks, hoping that the pain would go away, but it only kept getting worse. He wimpers, unable to control himself. He was hurting horribly.<br>Bulma opens her eyes upon hearing one of the infants wimpering. She sits up, yawning and stretching before walking over to the crib to find an upset Vegeta looking up at her. She frowns, checking his diaper if he did anything, but there was nothing. She lifts Vegeta into her arms. Vegeta continued to wimper. Whether Vegeta would admit it or not, he hoped that Bulma could find a way to make this pain go away, it was like none other he'd ever experienced before. That's when he began to cry.<br>Bulma sits back down onto her bed as she cradled Vegeta. "There has to be a reason..." She strokes his cheek as he continued to cry. Suddenly, it dawned on her. She open's Vegeta's mouth to find that several teeth had grown in. She smiles. "Your teething Veggie head. Heh heh. No wonder..."<br>Vegeta took this time to calm down his crying and hear her out. "Teething eh? Well, I don't care just make it go away... I may be a saiyan, but it still hurts like hell!"<br>Bulma sighs. "Well, I used to stick my finger in Trunks's mouth when he was teething. He would suck on my finger a little bit and then he'd be fine for a little while. So I'll try it on you. It always worked on him." She stuck her pinky finger into Vegeta's mouth (much to his dismay).<Br>Vegeta bites down onto Bulma's pinky and she cries out in alarm and pulls her finger from his mouth. <br>"I'm not going to suck on your finger you baka!"<br>Bulma frowns. "I don't care what your saying.... either you suck on my finger or suffer!"<br>Vegeta stared at her silently for a moment and allowed her to place her pinky back into his mouth. He gently bit down and began sucking at her finger. He remembers doing this to Bulma in bed one time... Of course he was an adult a that time and he did it when they were making love, but this was a little different. The sucking was easing his pain and he soon began to relax in her arms. He leans his face against her breasts, finding comfort in being in his mate's arms. Ah yes, this was heaven.<br>Chi Chi walks in fully dressed and looking rather pleasant.<br>As if on cue, Goku awoke and began to wimper because he was hungry.<br>Chi Chi scoops Goku up into her arms and walks off to the kitchen to feed him.<br>Bulma smiles down at Vegeta. "I can't wait till your back to normal, then perhaps we can....you know. I miss you."<br>Vegeta smirks. well... as best as he can since Bulma's finger is still in his mouth. <i>You naughty woman... Don't worry, I'll make sure of it once I'm normal again.</i><br>Trunks jumps up onto his mother's bed and gives her a hug. "Mornin' Kaasan. How's papa doing?"<br>"Well, not so good... he's teething."<br>"What's teething Kaasan?"<br>Bulma sighs. "Well, it's when a baby's teeth start growing in and his or her gums start to hurt and sucking or chewing on something usually makes the pain go away and that's why I have my finger in your father's mouth."<br>"Oooh," Trunks replies. "When is papa gonna be normal again?"<br>"Soon," Bulma replies. "Now go one Trunks, I'm sure Chi Chi is fixing breakfast for you and Goten by now."<br>"Hai," the young demi saiyan replies before running off to the kitchen.<br>Bulma smiles and removes her finger from Vegeta's mouth. "Better?"<br>"Much," Vegeta answers back, knowing very well that Bulma couldn't understand him.<br><font color=blue>~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~</font><br>*pant* *Gasp* Gaaa...<br>Pilaf stumbles on a tree root and lands in the dirth. "Err....Dam bear....chasing me all night... *gasp* finally.... *wheeze* lost him.. Why did I have to go out on my own? Typical of me. Oh well, I will rule the Earth soon..." He smiles as he holds up the second Dragonball he'd found on his run from the bear. The 3 stared dragonball.... I will soon beable to rule...*pant* but first... I must rest..." Pilaf pulls himself into a standing position, wavering a little he staggers forth and leans against a pine Tree. "I think I'll rest right under this tree... just for a few minutes. Then I'll be on my way. Curse you fools Goku and whatever the other one's name is! I will destroy you both soon enough!"<br><font color=blue>~~~~~~~~~~</font><br>Goku watches as the air car that held his family and friend Bulma disappears into the distance. "I hope they do okay."<br>Vegeta scowls. (isn't he always?)<Br>Mrs. Briefs smiles as she holds Vegeta in one arm and Goku in the other. "Ah, it's such a nice day. I think I'll let you boys do some playing outback while I watch you. My husband is always so busy with his projects he hardly has time to watch you boys."<br>Vegeta sighs. <i>Well, at least I won't be stuck in a play pen all day. I'll be outside where it's a little more interesting.</i><br>Goku smiles as Mrs. Briefs carries the two infants back inside and approaches the back door. She opens it after much hassling with the infants that were in her arms. She carries them outside and settles them into a different type of play pen. "Ooo, don't you boys look darling! Tee-hee. Now you boys behave while I do a little swimming okies?"<br>Vegeta glares up at Mrs. Briefs and frowns. "Your lucky I'm a baby and not an adult or I'd tell you straight! I don't need a fucking play pen woman! What the hell do you take me for?!"<br>Mrs. Briefs smiles as Vegeta continued babbling at her. "Oo, that's nice dear. Be good now." She skips off while pulling away the white robe she was wearing that covered her bathing suit.<br>Vegeta growls, his tail thumping the floor of the pen angrily.<br>"Well, you aren't in a good mood today," Goku replies.<br>Vegeta turns to Goku and scowls. "I didn't exactly wake up in a good mood. Do you realize the pain I'm going through?!"<br>Goku cocks his head to the side. "Neh?"<br>"Teething you baka!"<br>"Oh," Goku replies in understanding. "I'm hurting too, but I'm tolerating it okay."<br>Vegeta sighs. "I hate you."<br>Goku grins knowing that Vegeta ment the opposite. "I like you too Vegeta!"<br>Vegeta blinks. "Huh?"<br>Goku continues to grin.<br>Vegeta rests his head on the side of the play pen. "I'll never understand you."<br>Goku looks up and watches as a yellow butterfly dived and zipped around his head.<br>Vegeta looks up with interest. He watches the yellow insect gracefully dive down and land on the tip of one of Goku's spikes that shot up from his head. (you know, Goku's hair likes to shoot out in 7 different directions)<br>Goku smiles. "Heh heh. A butterfly."<br>"Obviously, you know Kakarotto. I used to eat those things as a kid. They taste pretty good."<br>Goku's eyes widen. "Eww, homto?"<br>Vegeta smirks. "You know I don't lie without a purpose."<br>"Yech," Goku replies.<br>Vegeta smirks. "Want me to eat it? I'll show you."<br>Goku's eyes widen. "No! I don't want you to eat the butterfly!"<br>Vegeta laughs. "And here I thought you were the nature boy that Bulma had told me about when you were a kid."<br>"Well, that was a long time ago. I didn't know any better," Goku replies with a sheepish grin.<br>"You know butterflies taste good, you just don't want to admit it," Vegeta replies while pulling himself into a standing position.<br>Goku jerks, causing the butterfly to flit away from it's perch on his head and fly towards Vegeta.<br>Vegeta smirks.<br>Goku gasps. "No! Don't eat it!"<br>Vegeta nods with an evil grin. "I like to see you sickened."<br>Goku covers his eyes. "Egad, I can't watch."<br>Vegeta laughs, but stops when the butterfly lands on the tip of his flame-like hair.<br>Goku peeks from between his fingers as a smile crosses his lips. "Heh heh. It's out of your reach. Your arms are too short for you to reach up that high."<br>Vegeta frowns and attempts to cross his chubby arms, but finds it a little bit of a difficulty.<br>Goku stands up, then jumps up, slapping the side of Vegeta's head and sending the butterfly on its way.<br>"Hey! What the hell do you think you are doing?! I was going to eat that!"<br>Goku grins. "Nope, not today."<br>Vegeta frowns. "Great, just when I thought I was going to have a little fun, you ruin it for me. Typical of you Kakarotto!"<br>Goku nods with a grin still plastered on his face. <br>Vegeta frowns, staring at the the ground through the mesh of the play pen. His mouth was starting to hurt him anyways... he probably wouldn't have been able to eat the butterfly because of the pain. He glances over at Goku. <i>I refuse to admit when I'm hurting. It would be so human-like if I started bawling...</i> Vegeta looks over at the cold glass of ice water that sat on the table next to the pool. It belonged to Mrs. Briefs, but she wasn't drinking from it and Vegeta considers that maybe the cold touch of an ice cube will ease his pain. He glances briefly at Goku then stands and starts pulling himself up the side of the play pen.<br>Goku looks up, his tail twitching with curiosity. "Whatcha doin' Vegeta?"<br>"None of your business."<br>Goku stands up, "Hey, I wanna come."<br>"Fine, if you want to come Kakarotto, then make yourself useful and help me outta here. I'm having trouble getting over, this infant body is weak."<br>Goku nods with a smile. "Hai!" He runs up to Vegeta and starts climbing up. He helps to push Vegeta up and lower him safely to the ground. "What are you goin' after anyways?"<br>"Ice," Vegeta calmly replies.<br>Goku blinks while lowering himself to the ground by using his tail. He slips and ends up hanging upside down as Vegeta turned to him. "Huh? Why ice?"<br>Vegeta sighs and grabs Goku's arm. "To help my mouth feel better you baka. Now come on, quit hanging there by your tail and follow me." He tugs Goku's arm, helping him to his feet.<br>"Arigatou Vegeta kun!"<br>Vegeta sighs. "It's the least I can do since you helped me."<br>"Gee, you sure have changed since I first met you, but that's because you're not evil anymore."<br>"Whatever you say Kakarotto," Vegeta replies while walking over to the table. He looks up and frowns. "Now how the hell am I going to get up there. Damnit, I hate being so weak! I can't even fly, this damn infant body of mine can't do anything but cry, eat, and shit!"<br>Goku smiles. "Hey, I'll help ya. Get onto my shoulders and I'll try and push you up."<br>Vegeta smirks. "Wow, you've accually started thinking."<br>Goku smiles and allows Vegeta to climb onto his back and stand on his shoulders. Goku looks up as Vegeta steadies himself. "Ready?"<br>Vegeta nods. "Hai."<br>"Okay then. Up ya go!" Goku pushes up with all his strength as Vegeta reaches up with a chubby arm to grab hold of the edge of the table.<br>Vegeta grabs on and climbs up. He smiles when he is finally sitting next to the glass of water. He glances over at Mrs. Briefs who is diving under the water. He smirks, "That woman is so gullible. Now..." He turns to the cup of water and sticks his hand in and grabs an ice cube. He smiles and looks down. <i>Damn, how the hell am I going to get down? Wait, I'm saiya-jin! I can use my tail to get down. Ah, my tail has chosen a great time to grow back.</i> Vegeta places the ice cube in his mouth; He wraps his tail around the pole that holds up the umbrella that covers the table and he jumps. Vegeta finds himself hanging upside down while he still had the ice cube in his mouth. He slowly releases his tail and comes to rest gently on the ground. <i>That was easy.</i><br>Goku smiles. "Did you get what you wanted?"<br>Vegeta nods and allows the cold ice cube to ease his aching gums. He sighs and looks over at Goku to see him chewing on a rock. (Vegeta speaking with ice cube in mouth) "Whay are u doin' that? U don't know whare that's been!"<br>"Yah huh, I know where it's been. In the dirt. Besides, it's just a rock. No harm done."<br>Vegeta rolls his eyes and after his mouth had grown numb from the cold he decides to spit it out. He attempts to spit it out, but to his dismay it wasn't coming out. "Eh?"<br>Goku looks up from his small rock. "What's wrong?"<br>"Nothin'!"<br>Goku blinks as Vegeta tries to spit out the ice cube again.<br>Vegeta realizes the ice cube is stuck to his tongue. "Thit!"<br>Goku laughs and sticks the rock in his little pocket. "Here, let me help ya." <br>Vegeta blushes. "It's stuck on my tongue..."<br>"Hey, don't be ashamed Vegeta. I got my tongue stuck to a pole when I was little. Let me tell ya, I sure learned my lesson after that incident."<br>Vegeta frowns. "Oh tanks for the incouragement."<br>"Stick out your tongue so I can pull it off."<br>Vegeta hesitates. "If you hurt me...I swear to Dende I'll..."<br>Goku waves it off with his hand. "Don't worry about that, It'll be quick and painless." (NOT!)<br>Vegeta sticks out his tongue and Goku starts tugging at it."<br>Vegeta winces. "OW!"<br>Goku sighs. "Man, it's stuck on there pretty good."<br>"Pull again," Vegeta replies.<br>Goku nods and tugs even harder.<Br>Vegeta yells in pain as he felt the tears coming to his eyes. <i>No, I will control this infant bawling. I will not cry</i>!"<br>Mrs. Briefs looks up from her swimming and her eyes widen when she sees Goku tugging at something stuck to Vegeta's tongue. She jumps out of the pool and runs over to Goku and Vegeta.<br>Vegeta bursts into tears and sits down bawling loudly as Goku finally tugged the ice cube free.<br>Goku stares at the ice cube and to Vegeta's who's screaming only got louder and louder. Goku frowns, "Gomen Vegeta... I didn't mean to pull that hard, but you told me...I..Wahh." Goku finds himself being lifted up by Mr. Briefs who had seen what happened.<br>"Oi, Goku sa, that was a devil of an ice cube eh?"<br>Goku blinks and smiles.<br>Vegeta screams loudly as tears poured from his eyes.<br>"Cry baby," Goku deliberately replies.<br>Vegeta quiets down and stares at Goku with wide teary eyes as Mrs. Briefs lifted him into her arms.<br>Goku grins. "See, I got you to stop crying."<br>Vegeta's frowns, "By insulting me?!"<br>"Yup," Goku replies.<br>Vegeta remains silent as Mrs. Briefs carries him inside.<br>Mr. Briefs looks down at Goku in his arms. "Well, I think we've had enough action for one day huh Son Kun?"<br>Goku laughs.<br> Mr. Briefs smiles, "Eh, that's the spirit! Come now, time to go inside."<br><font color=blue>To Be Continued...
