Chapter 8: Giving up

Three months had passed since that night full of emotions and since then things had not been better for Goku and Bulma: they made the trip to the university together, they ate in different restaurants, they walked in the park and they had fun as usual.

Bulma's pregnancy progressed favorably and with the passage of time her belly got bigger, so she would soon have to drop out of college.

The black-haired man for his part, continued with his training but spent most of the time with her friend, he had promised that he would be with her during the nine months of pregnancy and would not fail his promise with her.

His friends still didn't know about Bulma's pregnancy, the time would come when they would communicate that shocking news, no matter how surprising it might be.

Bulma didn't even want to imagine the reaction Yamcha would have upon learning that the boy who took her virginity (or the other way around in this case) and the one who would be the father of her first child was none other than Goku.

Although it had been a while since they stopped dating, that would leave a tremendous mark on Yamcha's vision, how is it that a playboy like him could have lost against someone as innocent as Goku.

But if they gave her to choose who she preferred as the father of his son, she would choose Goku over Yamcha, it was clear.

Present.

A new day began in the life of Bulma, who had decided that she would leave the university on this very day, pregnancy was the main reason for her.

She, receiving the sun's rays on her face, began to slowly open her blue eyes, distinguishing the white clouds that loomed across the sky.

She turned off the alarm clock that had been reluctantly ringing a few seconds ago and got out of bed.

"Today is the day" Bulma spoke with a smile on her lips as she yawned on the way to the bathroom.

She entered the bathroom and after a pleasant bath, she stood in front of her mirror, contemplating her reflection in him for a few moments.

"My life has changed, in six months I will be a mother, who would say?" said the blue-eyed girl with a smile while she shook her head at those words.

Minutes later.

Freshly dressed, combed and doused with an aromatic perfume, Bulma left her room with a smile on her lips, ignoring that she was being followed by someone.

"Good Morning!",A male voice sounded behind her causing a great shock in her.

Bulma was about to fall, luckily the owner of that voice moved in time preventing her from falling.

"Damn, I'm sorry Bulma, it wasn't my intention" Before the black-haired man finished speaking, Bulma got out of her arms, with a large vein standing out at her temple.

"ARE YOU CRAZY? HOW DO YOU EVEN SCARE ME?" Bulma yelled as the boy began to back away out of fear.

"I really didn't want ... an ultrasonic blue hedgehog!" Goku pointed to the window that was behind Bulma, who turned around feeling curious but unfortunately for him, her friend had left as a soul that the devil carried.

"GOKUUU" the blue-haired girl screamed loudly after being taunted by the black-haired man, who was surely hiding somewhere in the big house.

Later.

The black-eyed was hiding in a closet, he was quite scared since he didn't know what Bulma could do if she found him.

"I hope he doesn't find me" Goku whispered with a bead of sweat falling on the back of his neck.

Suddenly, the sound of the footsteps of a person approaching the closet began to become more present. Goku gulped hoping not to be seen.

"I FOUND YOU!" Bulma yelled opening the closet doors, unfortunately for the black-haired man.

"B-bulma w-we can talk, just ... AAAAAH" The black-eyed boy didn't finish his words when Bulma began to settle accounts of her.

Time after.

They were both sitting at the table having breakfast. Goku was eating looking fearfully at Bulma, several lumps were present on his head.

'Now I understand why Bulma can't get on my flying cloud' inquired the black-haired man giving a nod.

As if Bulma had guessed the thought of her she turned to him, shooting him a threatening look that would even scare whatever.

She smiled satisfactorily when she sensed a certain fear in the black-haired man, she liked to be in control of his.

"In a few minutes we will go to my university, I will present the letter of resignation" announced the blue-eyed watching Goku while she ate a toast.

The black-haired man nodded finishing his breakfast, before arriving at Capsule Corporation he had eaten quite a bit at his house, so he didn't need to eat too much.

"Let's go?" The black-haired man got up from the seat next to Bulma, and they both began to walk towards the exit, when they met Doctor Briefs and Panchy, Bulma's mother, who were quietly having breakfast.

"Good morning dear, do you want a drink?" Panchy asked with her pleasant smile.

Then Panchy turned to the black-eyed man, giving him a salutary smile. Goku reciprocated the gesture, looking alternately at Panchy and her husband.

"No mom, I just had breakfast with Goku, now we're going to college" Bulma argued while her mother took a delicious blueberry cake.

"I see, have a good day daughter" Dr. Briefs chimed in with a smile and Bulma nodded, motioning for her best friend to keep up.

"Shall I call my flying cloud? " the boy questioned, he aimed to invoke the gift that Master Roshi offered him so long ago.

"Let's go by car, it was difficult to comb my hair and I don't want to go with messy hair" Bulma replied and the black-haired man groaned, feet he liked to go in his flying cloud.

After that, Bulma took a capsule out of her bag and threw it a few feet away, creating a smoke screen that dissipated seconds later revealing a red touring car.

"Will we go in this car?" Goku asked pointing to the vehicle in front of his eyes.

"Yeah, since the university is not far enough, I prefer that we do a more relaxed journey, don't you think?" Bulma asked walking to the car door.

"Yes ... I guess you're right" Goku answered smiling.

The black-haired man sat in the passenger seat while her best friend would be the driver. They both put on their seat belts although Goku had some difficulties when it came to doing so.

"Are you ready?" Bulma asked starting the vehicle's engine as she looked at the black-eyed next to her.

"I am, we can go" Goku answered calmly and instantly they began to move, adding to the great traffic that was in that city.

Bulma put on some music to enliven the quiet atmosphere that remained in the vehicle.

"I think you should get a driver's license, it's about time" Bulma suggested without looking directly at the raven, who scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"I-I don't think it's necessary, I'm fine with my flying cloud" the boy replied, moving his hands comically and the blue-eyed girl glared at him.

"You will, or else you don't run out of food" Bulma threatened in a cold, dark tone, earning a slight nod from her friend.

"Y-yes Bulma, I will" Goku, looking fearfully at the girl, answered positively. Bulma smirked at hearing those words, then she said:

"I'm glad to hear that Goku, you don't know how happy I am! You will be an exemplary father, now you just need to find work" Goku began to whistle in another direction when he heard those words.

Bulma looked at him with an arched brow, but she concentrated on continuing to drive, later she would have a chat with the raven about finding a job.

Time after:

University.

After a while they reached her destination, the university, and Bulma parked her car in a parking lot at the back of the building.

They both got out of the vehicle and started walking towards the front door. They began to furrow an empty corridor, as most of the students were in their respective classrooms taking their classes.

Bulma smiled wistfully remembering all the moments that she lived in that place, there she met several of her friends and they spoke in that place most of the time. But all that was over.

"Are you crying Bulma?" Goku asked looking at her friend with concern, as her eyes were watery.

"N-no, just that something had got into my eye" the blue-eyed replied with a slight smile impregnated on her lips, and the raven nodded, not entirely convinced.

They kept walking, until they found a beautiful woman with glasses leaning against the wall as she read.

"Shizune-sensei" Bulma smiled when she saw the secretary, who stopped reading her for a moment and looked up from her, meeting the blue-haired girl.

"Oh, is that you Bulma? Glad to see you again" Shizune spoke with a smile as they both greeted each other by kissing each other on the cheek.

"Yes, I was coming to speak with the principal, you know" Shizune nodded, as she knew that Bulma was pregnant and she would have to drop out of college.

"I see, and who is this handsome boy?" Shizune asked smiling as she watched the black-haired man.

"It's my friend Goku, and this is Shizune, Goku" Bulma formally introduced him and they both shook hands, although Shizune lingered with the shake longer than usual, causing a drop of sweat on the black-haired man.

"I think you can stop Shizune-sensei" Bulma snapped with a nervous smile and instantly Shizune let go of Goku's hand, as if she had suffered a cramp.

Shizune Ryoko, a 27-year-old brown girl who worked as a secretary at that university. Her parents died in a car accident about twelve years ago, fortunately some relatives of hers took care of her education to date.

She lived in a humble apartment in the East City, at least her secretary job gave him to cover her housing expenses plus her personal expenses.

"If you want, I'll accompany you to the principal's office" Shizune suggested with a smile as she looked at the blue-haired girl, who she nodded pleasantly.

"So he's going to be the father of your child?" Shizune whispered with a smile and Bulma's face flushed.

"Y-yes, it's going to be him" she answered, blushing at that question, but Shizune's curiosity was such that she couldn't stop asking about

"Lucky you! He is quite an attractive and handsome boy, a similar boyfriend is not found every day" the secretary whispered and Bulma shook her head.

"He is not my boyfriend Shizune-sensei, he is my best friend, we just had the son «by accident»" the blue-eyed woman underlined and Shizune opened her eyes understanding everything.

"I understand, you are going to be parents «by surprise» how crazy youth is these days!" Shizune cried, forgetting that he was 4 years older than Bulma.

"I would ask you for a bit of discretion in this matter Shizune-sensei" Bulma demanded politely and the secretary nodded, what she least wanted is that her friends from her university get to know about that matter.

"Ufufu is counting on me dear, not a single word will come out of my mouth" Shizune replied and the bluehead smiled in gratitude. They both continued chatting.

Goku listened to those without understanding very well what they were talking about, but he didn't give it much importance either.
