Chapter 4

Vegeta could feel his anger building and he begins blasting around the hole but making sure he wasn't hitting Trunks. "Trunks!"
Goku puts Goten down and runs up to help Vegeta without a word.
They finally reach Trunks and Vegeta carefully pulls Trunks free from the hole he was stuck in.
"Oi, he was in there pretty deep. His arm looks broken and he's got a pretty bad bump on his head."
"I know that you baka!" Vegeta inspects Trunks's arm and frowns. "We should get him home...Bulma needs to take a look at his arm and that brat of yours is starting to cry again."
Goku nods and goes over to his tired and hungry son and scoops him up into his arms. He calls to Nimbus and the tiny golden cloud comes zooming down from the skies and stops at Goku's side. Goku hops onto the cloud and settles Goten in front of him and waves to Vegeta before heading off to home.
Vegeta brushes his fingers through Trunks's lavender hair and suddenly realizes that his other hand is covered in blood. His eyes widen and he looks at the back of Trunks's head and sees a large gash. "Shimatta!" Vegeta holds his son tightly to him and blasts off to Capsule Corp as fast as his powers would allow him to. "Just let him be okay...Just let him be okay." That's all that was running through Vegeta's mind as he got closer and closer to Capsule Corp.
Bulma paces the kitchen frantically and hopes to Dende that her son is alright. She glances out the window for the millionth time and this time notices the glow of Vegeta's familiar blue aura and bolts outside to meet him. She gasps and nearly faints when she sees the condition of Trunks and notices the strange position of his arm. "Oh god...bring him to the lab right away I have a rejuvination tank."
Vegeta didn't have to be told twice. He bolted for the lab and Bulma skidded in there and began immediately tapping at buttons and she takes her son carefully into her arms and settles him into the tank. She attaches an oxygen mask and heart monitor electrode then shuts the door as the liquids began filling the tank with healing fluids. She turns to Vegeta and stops when she sees him just standing there sort of in shock with their son's blood all over the front of him. "V...Vegeta...h..he'll be just fine..you got him here just in time."
Vegeta nods and turns around to head for the bathroom to clean up.
Im the second that Vegeta had turned around she had noticed a tear forming in his eye. The tear had fallen and sparkled in the air as Vegeta left the room, the tear hit the floor with a soft ~Pit~ noise.
Bulma stands alone in the lab staring at that single tear on the floor and her lips part and she kneels next to that tear and touches it. "Oh Vegeta...you do care...you do love our son," she thinks as a smile creeped across her lips.
~~~~~ Morning~~~~~~
After staying in a full 24 hours Trunks is taken out of the rejunvination Tank and immediately put to bed where he remained. He was beginning to awaken from the sedative liquid and he opens his eyes a little and finds his father sleeping at the end of the bed.
Vegeta had once been sitting up and leaning against the wall but now he was laying there with his arms crossed and sleeping like a baby.
Bulma walks in and finds her son awake and staring at the heap at the end of his bed. Vegeta had stayed with Trunks all night and fallen asleep.
"I thought Papa didn't like me momma."
"Oh no Trunks, your father loves you very much. He just......he just doesn't know how to express his feelings for you but I guess he's starting to get the hang of it." She walkes over to her son and inspects his casted arm. "How's your arm feeling honey?"
"It sorta hurts...I fell down a hole..did...did papa save me?"
Bulma nods with smiles. "He and Goku saved you from dying. Your a strong little boy and you better not go off like that again understand?"
Trunks nods with a yawn. "Im sorry Momma...me and Goten were..YAWWWWn lookin' for man eating beasts like what Papa was talking about."
"Man eating beasts?!"
Vegeta laughs.
Bulma looks over at Vegeta and finds him still laying there but laughing.
"The brat was obviously hunting...." He opens his eyes and looks at Bulma then to Trunks.
Trunks nods sleepily, "I was huntin' for dragons and...and..other stuff."
"Saiyan instinct," Vegeta replies while giving Bulma an evil grin.
Bulma frowns, "he's turning out more like you everyday Vegeta. My son is turning into a delinquent. Ah, Im starting to sound like Chi Chi excuse me for a sec I think Goku's here." Bulma leaves the room to go answer the door.
Vegeta turns to his son and smiles. "If you listen I'll teach you the right way to hunt those man eating beasts you were looking for."
"Really Papa?"
"Mmmhuh."
"Sagoi," Trunks replies sleepily. "Im tired papa...don't leave.....please?"
"......"
Trunks looks over to where his father was supposed to be but finds him scooting over to sit next to him.
Vegeta leans against the soft pile of pillows. "I suppose I'll stay brat...I was going to train today but...eh nevermind just go to sleep or you'll never get better."
Trunks nods and manuevers his good arm around and hugs his father a little awkwardly. "I love you Papa."
Vegeta sighs, "Trunks....kuso...I love you too you brat...your brave for going out there all alone. You remind me of myself when I was your age. I hated being told what to do so I did what I wanted."
Trunks smiles, "then I'll do it to...I wanna be strong like you someday."
Vegeta rests a hands on his son's shoulder. "Heh heh heh...perhaps you will someday brat...someday..." He closes his eye and drifts to sleep.
Minutes later Bulma enters the room with Goku and she smiles. "Awww would you look at them Goku."
"Sagoi," Goku whispers and tip toes out of the room. "Lets leave them be...from what you told me their both tired."
Bulma nods and takes one last look at Trunks sleeping in Vegeta's arms then slowly closes the door.
