Dragon Ball: We are... parents?

Chapter 14: Karaoke



Goku's point of view:

We left the theater when the movie ended and headed for the clinic, which should surely be open now. I think Bulma was a little freaked out by the movie, or at least that was my impression.

We went into the doctor's office and sat down. Bulma explained various things to him and the doctor nodded.

Bulma lay down on a gurney and the doctor put a strange device on her stomach and started looking at a screen. Bulma told me it was an ultrasound or something.

I walked over to the gurney where Bulma was and she took my hands gently, smiling at me. She didn't know why she was holding my hands or why she was smiling at me, but I was smiling at her too.

"Congratulations, Miss Briefs. Your baby is quite healthy, as determined by the ultrasound..." said the doctor, looking at the screen that displayed the image. "You're going to be the mother of a girl. You're going to have a daughter," added the doctor with a smile.

I... I'm going to be the father of a girl?

Normal POV:

"Congratulations, Miss Briefs. Your baby is quite healthy, as determined by the ultrasound..." said the doctor, looking at the screen that displayed the ultrasound image. "You're going to be the mother of a girl. You're going to have a daughter," added the doctor with a smile.

Bulma gently squeezed Goku's hand as a smile began to spread across her lips. She looked up and saw the father of her future daughter, who seemed shocked by the news.

"I'm going to be the father of a girl," the black-haired man wondered, lost in shock.

He had expected the baby to be a boy, but even though he wasn't sure how he felt, he felt happy. He wouldn't know how to describe the sensation that filled his body right now, but he knew it was a very pleasant sensation.

"I'm going to have a daughter," Bulma thought, quite happy as she closed her eyes. Everything had happened as she had wished. She would now be the mother of a beautiful girl, and they could start thinking about what name to give her.

Bulma squeezed Goku's hand even more and looked at him, smiling. They both exchanged a look and smiled like they never had before.

Bulma smiled with happiness, and Goku smiled, imitating his friend, who was dancing with full happiness at the fact that she would have a daughter.

More later:

Goku and his best friend were walking down the street without a specific destination in mind. The future parents were each thinking about something different, most likely where to go now.

"The promise is due. We'll go eat at a restaurant," said Bulma with a smile, and the black-haired man jumped for joy. "But first..."

"Oh, come on!" Goku exclaimed, letting out a groan as he frowned. Bulma smirked at that and shook the index finger of her left hand.

"I feel like going to karaoke. I haven't been in a while," Bulma spoke with a smile, and the boy scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"Karaoke? Is that a restaurant?" asked the future father and warrior, smiling, and Bulma shook her head from left to right.

"It's a place where we can sing. Do you know how to sing, Goku?" asked the blue-eyed woman, smiling, and Goku denied, blinking his eyes several times.

"Sing? I've never done anything like that," the raven-haired man replied, scratching his cheek with his index finger, and Bulma took his hand.

"Come on! I'll teach you, and we'll sing together!" Bulma exclaimed, running towards the nearest karaoke as she dragged Goku away.

Minutes later:

Karaoke:

Bulma and Goku were standing in front of a screen, each holding a microphone.

"What am I supposed to do with this, Bulma? I don't think I understand," said Goku, smiling nervously.

"You'll use it to sing," replied the girl. "This is one of my favorite songs. Just read my lips and mimic me. You'll do great," she added, showing him her thumb and smiling.

"Read lips?" inquired the boy as the screen lit up, revealing various letters and musical symbols on it.

-Fantasy come to me

I love you to conquer.

Youth, you are going to discover a mystery-

Bulma started singing, and Goku stared at her in shock. The blue-eyed girl noticed this and took the boy's hand, giving him her best smile.

"Relax, Goku, and follow my rhythm," Bulma advised her best friend, who nodded upon hearing her.

-Fantasy come to me

I love you to conquer.

Youth, a mystery you are going to discover-

Bulma started singing, and Goku followed behind her. The girl was captivated by hearing Goku's voice, but she wouldn't be left behind and would give her best effort by singing...

-Everyone wants to live soon

A thousand and more adventures.

A thousand and more adventures.

Youth, keep the innocence in you-

Apparently, Goku adapted to Bulma's rhythm, making it seem as if they were singing in unison, although he was a few tenths of seconds behind Bulma.

"You do it wonderfully, Goku," Bulma thought with a smile. She never thought that her friend could sing this well.

Bulma raised Goku's hand, immersed in the music as if it were an intoxicating passion. She got carried away.

The boy couldn't do anything other than adapt to the situation and continue with the song that Bulma was learning.

"If you try to pretend something that you're not,

The magic will vanish anyway, the illusion will break

Dare to face, wild and fully, the miracle of living,"

Bulma smiled when she saw the graceful expression that Goku kept on his face while he sang the lyrics of that song full of romance. Goku raised Bulma's hand in the air, surprising her. She closed her eyes and plunged into musical delight.

"Romance I can give you... I can give you...

Romance I can give you... I can give you ...

If you teach me with courage, the truth that is in you."

They both opened their eyes and shared a smile of joy permeated on their features.

Bulma had little time to spare in recent years and there was seldom a free slot in her schedule to pursue one of her favorite hobbies: singing. Now that she was pregnant, she had a little more time to do it.

Pleasantly surprised, Bulma watched as her best friend sang so well. Now, instead of going to restaurants, bars, and ice cream parlors, they could sing at karaoke, even if Goku didn't like the idea of not going to restaurants...

"Romance I can give you... I can give you...

Romance I can give you... I can give you...

Vibrating in my chest is,

Vigorously the love that is in me, for you!"

Bulma took Goku's hand again and raised it to the air at the end of that beautiful song.

"Bravo!"

"It was fantastic!"

Several people who had been listening to them sing began to applaud them excitedly. Bulma smiled at that and saw her friend scratch the back of his neck with a nervous smile.

"You have been wonderful, Goku. Have you been hiding this ability from me this whole time?" Bulma asked with a sly smile, and Goku instantly denied it.

"No, no, no! I've never done something like this. Today was the first time I sang," Goku stated, and the blue-haired girl smiled as she playfully hit the boy's shoulder.

"Quiet, it was a joke. Now if we can go eat wherever you want, you have earned it, Goku," Bulma pronounced with a smiling with joy.

"Yes! Cool!" Goku jumped with joy at hearing Bulma's words as he imagined in his mind what kind of food he would eat.

Bulma lifted the soles of her feet and brushed her best friend's cheek with her smooth lips. The black-haired man contemplated that action with great bewilderment; it was the second time that Bulma had kissed him on the cheek.

"Now we can go... Goku," whispered Bulma smiling as she took the boy's hand to leave the place.
