The trio of friends arrived at the Papaya Island hospital in a matter of minutes, Bulma's small plane flying at supersonic speed to reach her destination as soon as possible.
"Ugh… it was the fastest trip I've ever done in my life" Fusui commented that as she rubbed her head with a small grimace on her face.
"Ha, rookie!" Bulma and her older sister commented in unison, since they were both used to trips like this.
Fusui made a cute pout on her face while she murmured: "of course, the rich always humiliating the poor", the two sisters couldn't help but laugh at that comment full of sarcasm.
They entered the main room of that hospital at the same time, they were going to ask at the reception of the place the room where Goku was recovering from the wounds that arose in his bloody fight against Piccolo's son.
Bulma walked ahead of the other two and arrived at the main reception room, where a young boy was sitting while he checked some data on the computer in front of him.
"Good afternoon, my name is Bulma Briefs and I'd like to know which room the boy named Son Goku is in if it's no bother" Bulma explained with a smile.
"...."
The red-haired boy was silent as he continued to check that computer, Bulma cleared her throat forcing a smile while Tights gestured for him to insist again.
"As I was saying, I'd like to know which room a boy named Son Goku is in right now" Bulma spoke, smiling forcibly.
"I'm sorry lady but visiting hours are ove," the boy sentenced without looking directly at Bulma, unknowingly he signed his death sentence.
Tights and Fusui looked at each other sensing what was going to happen. The vein that was beginning to form on Bulma's temple was already the first indication of the boy's stumble.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING LADY?! TELL ME WHICH ROOM GOKU IS IN!" Bulma yelled, exploding all at once and the boy fell out of his seat, extremely scared of course.
His first mistake was not paying attention to her and the second and biggest of all was calling her lady right in her face. Offending a pregnant woman was not something many had the audacity to do.
Goku knew it very well, throughout these nine months that he spent with Bulma he had seen several times the consequences that angering Bulma brought: several bumps and bruises.
The dark-haired man how bad it was to make her angry but even so she still didn't learn her lesson, she always ended up making him scream, although it was a good dynamic of hers that they both maintained as a couple.
"I-it's o-okay" the redhead stammered as he crawled over to the computer and started typing to satisfy the irate girl.
"It's never really going to change" Tights and Fusui shared a smile as she crossed her arms, it was good to see that Bulma was still Bulma, pregnant or not.
"H-he's in room two hundred and three, j-just need to s-stop at the t-third floor and w-walk to the fifth d-door on the l-left" the redhead stated as Bulma took note.
"Thank you very much!" Bulma smiled as she turned around, to which the boy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Poor boy, he almost died of fear" Tights commented that with a tone of sorrow but those words contained a rather burlesque undertone.
Fusui smiled as the three of them walked towards the elevator heading to room two hundred and three.
More later.
Bulma had never imagined that her heart could beat so fast, right now she was in front of the door of the room that the receptionist of the Papaya Island hospital indicated to her.
Fusui and Tights were behind her whispering messages of encouragement, right now it was what she needed most to carry out her rush.
Yes, now she was going to confess to Goku, she needed to make her feelings clear to him and for that she would have to express herself in the most correct way possible.
Feelings that had originated during these nine months with Goku, his best friend and the father of her daughter. Who would say that this little boy that she found in the middle of a forest would now be the love of her life and total owner of her heart?
No one..
Bulma never imagined that the love of her life would be someone like Goku. She always thought that "her prince charming" would be a boy who appeared in the movies she watched on television: tall, blond, blue eyes and undeniably attractive, a boy willing to give everything to rescue his princess from the tower in which she lived guarded by a huge dragon...
However, that stereotype was not far from what Goku was. Yes, in Bulma's eyes Goku was quite attractive even though his hair was strange, he had a divine physique, he was tall, strong and brave, willing to sacrifice his life for his friends... Goku was a more simplified version of "Prince Charming" than Bulma imagined herself in the past.
Despite that, Bulma couldn't help but fall in love with him, fall in love with his clumsiness, fall in love with his smile, fall in love with his bravery, charisma, optimism and sense of humor, fall in love with that romantic side that Goku himself didn't know. .
Ultimately, Bulma loved him and couldn't imagine a life without Goku being by her side, by her side. That's not counting the fact that they would both be parents.
Bulma hoped that sooner or later her feelings would be reciprocated, she didn't want to force Goku or make him fall in love with her by an unnatural method. She wanted everything to go on his time, without haste or complications...
"Before I saw a future in which I fought against powerful beings... now I also continue to see it, but my daughter is in that future... and you are also Bulma"
Bulma couldn't help but remember Goku's heartfelt words while they were both on the ferris wheel at the amusement park. Goku expressed what he felt in the depths of his being, something that Bulma admired at the time and continued to admire, because Goku, despite being someone who says what he thinks frankly, does not know how to express his feelings in the most correct way. , but in these months it had evolved extremely.
'Sigh… I guess it's about time' Bulma asked, closing her eyes as she sighed.
Bulma opened the door and was greeted with a rush of air coming from inside that room.
His friends were gathered there, all around a bed, which was occupied by a dark-haired boy: Goku, who was smiling until he noticed the presence of three girls and blinked his eyes.
Bulma, apart from having noticed the presence of his usual friends like Oolong, Yamcha, Puar, Krillin, Roshi, Ten and Launch, saw that two girls she knew were also present: one she had seen in an ice cream parlor months ago and another he saw her hours before on television, it was the girl who ran off the tatami while shedding tears.
'I wonder what she's doing around here?' Bulma questioned with a slight frown as she watched the girl smile standing next to HIS Goku.
Not even a hundredth of a second passed when Bulma's blue eyes met Goku's onyx orbs in a clash of gazes.
Bulma felt her heart beat faster and Goku felt a similar sensation, both had experienced small changes in the last few hours, especially regarding her future.
Goku's friends could only blink in disbelief as Tights and Fusui stood behind the blue haired girl, making no move.
"What are you doing here Bulma?!"
After a long silence, everyone reacted by letting out a scream, because most, except Goku, believed that Bulma was sick and that's why she missed the tournament.
"I-I came to visit and congratulate you all" Bulma answered with a nervous smile.
"....."
With that answer, everyone's gaze focused on the bulge that stood out in Bulma's belly. Given that, the blue-haired girl gave Goku a look of complicity that translated would be "they caught us mate". Goku who smiled nervously as he scratched the back of his neck from his bed.
Chi-Chi frowned slightly at the look that both parents gave each other, she was content with being Goku's friend that didn't mean that she would also be the friend of "the girl who stole her husband".
Akemi just kept her arms crossed as she stood to the side, she would have liked to have a picture of her with her childhood idol but Bulma stopped her from doing that, that's why she didn't like her at all.
Everyone seeing the look Bulma gave Goku widened their eyes in more surprise. They first looked at Bulma and then they settled their eyes on Goku.
"Are you two going to be parents?!"
That shout was given by Yamcha, Krillin and Oolong. Tenshinhan and Chaos were dumbfounded as were Launch and Puar while Chi-Chi and Akemi remained indifferent to the news.
'Now everything makes sense' inquired Master Roshi while he observed his disciple, the future father.
"Emm… hello Tights and Fusui!" Goku greeted nervously and the aforementioned smiled and returned that greeting by raising their hands.
"Sigh… there's no point in hiding it anymore, I'll tell you what happened…" Bulma rubbed her temple as she sighed, after nine months the truth would come to light, keeping it hidden was unnecessary.
