Chapter 42: Bra's first word

One year.

One year was the period of time that had already passed since Bra's birth.

One ear was the period of time that had passed since Goku and Bulma had confessed and started their love relationship.

Their lives had changed quite a bit over this time... both Goku and Bulma could tell that Bra's birth had changed them.

"Goku, do you remember this?"

Bulma was sitting on a living room couch with Bra on her lap as they looked through a photo album, an album that Bulma bought a year ago.

"That's when we went to that restaurant to celebrate Bra turning one month old, right?" Goku asked, who was next to Bulma looking at the photos with a wistful smile.

"Yes, the restaurant had to close because you used up all the food there" Bulma spoke with a smile and Goku scratched the back of his neck.

"But if I only ordered sixty-five dishes, I was also a little hungry because I was training" the boy pretexted smiling.

"The perfect excuse" Bulma joked, shaking her head, "I don't know what to do with you and your stomach, I'd have to come up with something for you to eat less, because at this rate my love..."

They both shared a laugh as Bra looked at him curiously, Bulma turning to the next page.

"This is when we went on a picnic, it was really relaxing even though you ate all the snack…again" Bulma spoke again shaking her head.

"I told you to put more food in the basket and you didn't listen to me..." Goku snapped, shrugging his shoulders as if he wasn't to blame for anything.

"Now you're blaming me?!" Bulma demanded with a vein on her temple and Goku took two steps back already regretting her words.

"M...mom"

"....."

Goku and Bulma fell silent when an unexpected voice interrupted them, and since there was no one else in the house that meant that...

"Bra has said the first word of it! And it wasn't food!" Bulma jumped for joy hugging her daughter with all the love in the world, "She said it!"

It was already weird to Bulma that Bra hadn't uttered her first word at a year old, but right now she couldn't be happy.

"Damn, I wanted she say dad" Goku spoke as he scratched the back of his neck with a smile.

Goku thought that Bra had said it on purpose, his daughter annoyed him and that was why several times he had received several blows courtesy of Bulma.

"Well, she didn't say it!" Bulma spoke sticking her tongue out at a chibi Goku who was standing in a corner with a depressive aura around him and making circle after circle on the ground.

"D...ad"

When Goku heard those words he shot out like lightning and snatched Bra from Bulma's arms, lifting her into the air very happy.

"Hahaha dad said! Suck that Bulma hahahaha" Goku mocked in turn sticking out his tongue at Bulma, on whose forehead stood out a vein of anger that grew every second...

Goku was holding Bra up with a happy smile after she had said "daddy", all while Bulma's hand heated up like a missile about to be fired.

PAM.

Goku received a heavy blow to the cheek that sent him to the ground, Bulma had Bra in her arms as her right hand blew out smoke.

"Ayayay that hurt a lot Bulma!" Goku complained with a lump in the area of ​​the blow. Great, he wouldn't be able to chew on that area for a week.

"Next time, Goku, think about things four times before talking about them" Bulma answered, kissing her daughter's cheek, who smiled.

Goku didn't know if Bulma had an addiction to hitting him, he calculated that a week he could take between ten and fifteen hits from her.

Since Bra turned six months old, the number of daily blows that Bulma gave her had increased, he had no proof but no doubt that Bra had something to do with it.

For example the time Bulma asked him to change Bra's diapers and he did. After a while Bulma came back to see if Goku had done it and Bra's diaper was all the way up even though Goku changed it.

Goku tried to argue that he had changed him but Bulma didn't listen to reason and hit him while Bra seemed to smile.

'Bra... you're diabolical' Goku inquired lowering his shoulders in defeat, what had he done to his daughter to betray him like that? The reality was often very disappointing.

"Mom and Dad"

Goku approached Bulma when she heard the third, fourth and fifth words that Bra had spoken, a big smile settled on her face.

"It's incredible that a year ago she was so small... but now she can talk and she's learning to walk" said Goku amazed.

Goku couldn't put into words what he was feeling right now, to think that a year ago Bra came to this world and now even she was able to speak...it was just something indescribable.

"Yes, it's all wonderful Goku... this life is something I would have never dreamed of... but if all this were nothing more than a dream I would want to dream forever and never wake up" Bulma spoke looking Goku with a joyful smile.

Bulma had thought that all this was just a dream, if she woke up, would everything go back to the way it was before?

That would mean that Bra had never been born and that consequently she did not have a relationship with Goku and they were just friends.

That's why she didn't want to wake up, her life was as perfect as a fairy tale and for nothing in the world would she change the family she had formed.

"I also wish I never woke up" Goku added with a smile looking at his beloved.

If all this were nothing more than a dream, now he himself would live alone, or with Chichi because not feeling anything for Bulma and not knowing what it was to get married, he would have accepted her without knowing what it was to love.

He would live without having experienced all these new feelings that had arisen in him since he met Bulma… and most importantly, he would not have Bra in his life.

"Well... let's dream forever, Goku" Bulma whispered before approaching him and kissing her lips with a subtle touch of love and passion.

Goku, having a year's experience, reciprocated the kiss; This is what he meant by not wanting to wake up because he would never have known what it felt like to kiss someone's lips.

He felt an electric sensation in his body, he felt something strange in his stomach, his heart was beating hard and fast and above all he felt happy. Happy to be together with his beloved Bulma.

Bulma was amazed at Goku's progress and she felt really proud to know that she was the reason for Goku's evolution.

Preferring not to go any further, Bulma placed her hand on Goku's chest and slowly pushed him away, revealing a trickle of saliva joining her lips.

"How about going out on the city to celebrate Bra's first birthday and that she has said the first word about it?" Bulma asked the boy.

"I think it's great" Goku answered happily, already thinking about which restaurants they hadn't been forbidden to enter "What do you think if...?"

"No, first we'll go to another place, a place we haven't been in these almost two years we've been together" Bulma spoke as if she had read Goku's thoughts, "We'll go to…"

"To the...?" Goku asked curiously and Bulma turned around without answering directly, "Oh come on, I want to know where we're going Bulma!"

"First go take a shower while I finish dressing Bra, then I'll tell you…" Bulma answered, smiling mockingly and Goku sighed.

More later.

"Really?"

"Yup, it will be very good for Bra"

"But if in Monte Paoz there are enough animals to see them there, I really don't see any need to be here getting bored Bulma"

"Shhh, don't ruin the moment"

Their first stop was none other than a zoo, and right now they were walking in an underground area whose sides were aquariums where thousands of fish swam in synchronization.

Several people were also present in the place, a man was in front acting as a guide for all of them, well except for Goku.

'This is very boring' Goku complained putting both hands behind his neck, he even preferred being at the movies to being here, and that was saying a lot.

"Here you have one of the last specimens of the yum yum fish, one of the species that is in danger of extinction..." explained the guide pointing to the aquarium on the right.

They all saw a huge fish whose colors ranged from pink to crimson, while the fins were violet, extravagant colors.

Goku stared at the fish since it sounded familiar to him... then he realized that on more than one occasion he had caught it to eat it.

One of those times was when he was with Bulma in a forest and she ran out of food capsules, Goku had to fish so they could both eat. Although he was delicious.

'It was delicious… but I feel a little guilty' Bulma thought with some guilt, since she contributed in part to the extinction of the poor fish. But back then, it happened that...

"Yum...yum...food" Bra muttered loudly enough for the rest of the people to hear and frown.

"Isn't that right, Bra? Well, just so you know, your mother and I ate that fish a long time ago, didn't we Bulma?" the boy asked with a smile laying his eyes on Bulma.

"Shut up Goku, shut up…" Bulma whispered nervously when she felt the gaze of those present fixed on her, since after all they were talking about a species that had about ten copies left in the world.

Bulma sighed and rubbed her temple. Walking with Goku was already an odyssey, but she didn't expect Bra to join the crew, surely she had inherited that from her father Goku.
