A/N - I'm actually looking at this and thinking "Oh my God it's over. What the hell am I supposed to do now?"
Well I've decided that there won't be a sequel to this story but I've got like a book full of ideas for more fanfictions about Bulma and Vegeta or Bra/Bulla and Goten and even some Pokemon, Supernatural and One Tree Hill so you haven't heard the last of me! This story may be over after this chapter but I'm kind of glad that it is in a way. As I got closer and closer to the end I realized that I wasn't focusing and putting as much effort into this story as I should have been and I'M SORRY!
So yeah, I've already started writing another fanfiction about Bulma and Vegeta but it has nothing to do with this one. Make sure you check out 'Battle Of The Empires' and follow me so that you can all keep updated with my next fanfics.
There was so much more that I wanted to say but my mind is completely blank.

Chapter 17 –
Vegeta could sense a familiar high power level coming towards him but he didn't care. His mind was roaring with loss, his heart once again felt empty and his body felt as cold as his dead mate's.
He couldn't help but think that perhaps he was destined to be alone, destined to never get what he wanted. Of course, that would be a lie. He ascended to the Legendary Super Saiyan but right now that didn't matter to him. He would gladly give it up if it meant he could have his mate back. He really did have no one and nothing that he cared about anymore.
Before he met Bulma, he had never felt even half of what he felt now. Vegeta felt like he was drowning in his emptiness and no longer had his mate to cling on to. She had taught him that there was more to life then killing and causing destruction. Of course he could probably never fully understand love but right now, he was almost certain that he did. He knew there was no way he would be feeling so hollow had it of been the death of anyone else.
Right now, he should have been celebrating the death of the lizard that enslaved him and his pack, that slaughtered his entire race and destroyed his home planet but he wasn't. Instead, he was clinging onto the dead body of his mate like his life depended on it.
Another loud howl of loss ripped from his throat as he screamed into the empty skies.
He could just see his father shaking his head in disgust and being disappointed that his son, the Prince of all Saiyans, an Elite warrior was mourning for the loss of his weak, human mate but he didn't care. He didn't care if he disappointed his father or disgraced his race by mating with a human, he would do it all over again if he could. He didn't care that Bulma was a weak human because she constantly challenged him and more often than he would like to admit, beat him during their verbal sparring. She was also the most intelligent being in the entire Universe and to Vegeta, her beauty went unrivalled. He ran his hand through her silk soft hair and couldn't help but think that he had never seen such a perfect shade of blue before.
Vegeta could just hear the Gods laughing at him for once again, they had taken away yet another thing he held close to him.
The Saiyan Prince was dragged out of his thoughts as he heard two sets of feet land behind him. He paid no attention to them and instead carried on running his hand through his mate's hair, untangling any knots and taking away any debris that may find itself there.
"She hated it when her hair wasn't perfect." Vegeta chuckled humourlessly to no one in particular, "She had been enslaved, forced to do things she wanted no part in, made to watch as her parents were murdered, raped, beaten and yet she cared more about her hair."
He could hear somebody coming closer to him but like before, he ignored them and only wished that they would kill him quickly so that he could be with his mate. If he wasn't killed now then the loss of not having the woman in his mind would drive him insane and kill him slowly. He knew that there was no chance in seeing her in the after world because of all the crimes he had committed but it would still be better than living without her.
"That's not true," A familiar voice spoke softly to him, now standing right beside the Saiyan Prince. "She cared about you a lot more than her hair, Vegeta."
Vegeta looked up to see Goku looking down at his mate with a pained expression.
"What do you want?" Vegeta said in a gruff voice as he turned his eyes back to his woman.
Goku snapped out of his mourning and grief and a large smile graced his lips as he remembered the plan. On the way to Vegeta, Dende had healed him after he felt as though he couldn't go on much longer and it was safe to say that he felt brand new.
"We're going to wish Bulma back along with everyone else!" Goku said excitedly as he ran over to collect the dragonballs.
Vegeta ignored the younger Saiyan's foolishness as Goku's sentence replayed itself in his mind.
'We're going to wish Bulma back along with everyone else!'
Vegeta could feel his heart starting to thump unevenly.
'We're going to wish Bulma back…'
He could feel a warm feeling growing in the pit of his stomach. It was the same excitement that he had seen Goku showing a few seconds ago.
'Going to wish Bulma back…'
He could feel his blood coursing through his veins as a familiar warmth that he relished in filled his entire being.
'Wish Bulma back…'
His heart was banging against his chest with such force that he thought it was going to come flying out of his chest. He could feel what felt like a smirk grace his once frowning lips as he heard the Namekian child summoning the Dragon.
If he had to, he would wait a year on this sickeningly peaceful planet until they could be granted another wish for her planet back. He would listen to his woman's screeching with a smirk on his face because he wouldn't care about anything else.
She was coming back.
Bulma, his woman, his mate, was coming back to him.
He watched his mate carefully as he heard the Namekian finish asking for what sounded like his wish. He only knew it was his wish because the third class Kakarot came running over to look on her, Raditz and Nappa. Vegeta didn't even notice how the sky turned dark and that a giant, green dragon was not far from him.
Vegeta didn't care about the others as he felt the warmth returning to her skin and could hear the beating of her heart as it was restarted. He sighed in relief as she gasped for air and her eyes fluttered open revealing the unique shade of blue that only her eyes held.
And for the first time, Vegeta truly smiled.
It wasn't his trademark smirk but a genuine smile.
He crushed his mate to his chest as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Vegeta pressed his face into the crook of her neck and inhaled deeply as her unique scent assaulted his senses. He had never seen, heard or smelled something that was so perfect before. But what made it all the better was that she was all his.
Around the two reunited mates, Goku held out his hands and helped his brother and Nappa off of the ground and filled them in on everything that had happened since they died.
"You look good as a blonde," Bulma said softly into Vegeta's ear as she ran her hand through his golden hair.
Vegeta ignored her as he captured her lips in a quick, yet gentle and passionate kiss. He didn't care if it was improper because there was a crowd around them.
His mate was back.
"The dragon wishes to know what your next two wishes are." Dende said, breaking up the reunion.
Everyone's eyes fell to Bulma as she thought carefully about how to phrase her wishes. She knew that if she said them incorrectly in anyway then they could go wrong. There was one person who was running through her mind as she was trying to think but whatever she thought of all seemed impossible.
She looked up to the Namekian dragon and her eyes immediately widened. She had never seen the eternal dragon look so… so huge. It looked like Shenron but on steroids.
"I wish for the Planet Earth to be restored." Bulma said in a strong voice before looking to Dende and then back to Vegeta, "I don't know how to phrase my second wish." She said in an almost defeated voice.
"What do you mean?" Goku asked in a disbelieving tone, "Just wish for everyone back!"
Bulma shook her head, "But that wouldn't bring my dad back, he died on Frieza's ship."
The whole group fell to silence as they remembered that day. Her father had died because he refused to operate on the Saiyan Prince. Vegeta almost felt guilty as he saw the helpless look in his mate's eyes but he just shrugged, causing Bulma to narrow her eyes at him.
"Then don't wish him back," Vegeta said nonchalantly. He could see the fire burning in his mate's eyes as she was about to yell at him but he spoke before she had the chance. "You spoke of Earth having their own set of dragonballs so wish him back with those."
Goku nodded, "Yeah! I completely forgot about Kami!"
A large smile appeared on Bulma's face as she kissed Vegeta's cheek, "I always knew you weren't just a pretty face." She said playfully before looking back to Dende as he finished wishing for their planet back.
"What is your last wish?" Dende asked once the dragon had granted their wish.
"We wish for everyone who died on Earth including the Earth's guardian and except for the really bad people who invaded our planet, to be brought back to life!" She yelled excitedly.
Dende smiled warmly at her enthusiasm before turning back to the Namekian dragon.
Bulma and Goku both stopped breathing due to their suspense as they waited for the dragon to grant their wish. The eternal dragon's eyes glowed red as he started to grant their wish and less than a second later, Dende turned back towards the group and nodded.
She had never felt so happy before in her entire life.
Not only had she gotten everything she had wished for but she also had Vegeta, her very own Prince. He may not be the nicest of people and had quite a bad temper but it was obvious that he cared for her and he would always be there to protect her.
One month later.
The group were now back on Earth and it was like they never even left. The minute they landed, Bulma insisted on finding the dragonballs. Nobody complained though because the second they set off of Namek, Bulma and Vegeta had rarely left the bedroom which caused great discomfort to everyone. It seemed as though having your mate die right before your eyes took quite an effect on Vegeta and he refused to have her leave his site again. Of course after two weeks they went back to normal routine but the second they saw each other, they would be ripping their clothes off no matter where the two were.
Android 17 was brought back along with the others Frieza had murdered during the battle on Namek and it didn't take Dr Gero too long to have Android 18 up and around again. However this time, he took the deadly self destruct bombs out of the three androids so they called all live in peace and fit in with the humans.
Once they landed on Earth, Gero left to go back to his lab whilst Goku, Bulma, Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz and the three androids went out searching for the seven dragonballs with the radars Bulma had made on Namek.
It didn't take them long before they were all outside of Capsule Corp. and almost immediately, Bulma ran into the house to find her mother cooking in the kitchen.
"Mom," Bulma sighed in relief as she wrapped her arms around her mother.
Bunny turned around and gasped when she saw her daughter stood before her. When she had been revived she had woken up on the kitchen floor and couldn't find her husband or daughter anywhere.
"Bulma, I was so worried about you." Bunny cried as she hugged her daughter with a vice-like grip. Never had Mrs Briefs been so scared in her entire life. All she could remember before waking up was two strange men in her kitchen and then everything went dark. She was so afraid for her daughter and husband, especially when she woke up and couldn't find them anywhere. "Where's your father?"
Bulma pulled out of her mother's hugged but grabbed hold of her hand and pulled her out of the house and into the large garden towards the group of warriors. She explained everything that happened to her mother and felt her heart shatter in two as the usual cheery woman cried and sobbed at the loss of her husband. But her mother cried more when she told her what happened after he died and Bulma was pulled into another freakishly strong hug.
"Mom it's okay now." Bulma said for the third time.
Bunny looked at her daughter and then to the group for the first time, "Thank you all so much for helping my daughter, especially you Vegeta and Goku. You are all more than welcome to stay here with us. I just wish Trunks was here to see that you're all okay."
"Mom that's just the thing, he will be here! We're going to wish him back."
Bunny smiled so widely that everyone thought her face was going to split in half and the Saiyans winced as she squealed loudly.
It took a while to convince the dragon to give them two wishes but in the end they did it but in return they could not use the dragonballs for two years which they weren't too bothered about. With their first wish, they wished for the body of her father to be brought to Earth and with their second wish, they wished for Dr Briefs to be brought back to life.
The second he opened his eyes his wife and daughter pounced on him, showering him with love, kisses and hugs.
Goku along with Raditz – after deciding he would stay on Earth with his younger brother – and the androids went over to Master Roshi's home to see if the Namekian dragon brought Master Roshi and Krillin back seeing as they had died once before. Bulma introduced Vegeta to her parents who surprised them all by showing his respect to Dr Briefs for refusing to operate on him back on Frieza's ship even though he also called her father foolish for doing so. Nappa, after having his fill of Bunny's cooking and getting the ship restocked, took off back into space to see if there were any more Saiyans stranded somewhere out there.
Bulma for the first time in a long time, felt complete.
Earth was back, her family was back, her life was back and now she had a mate who would always be there to protect her and love her.
"WOMAN!" Vegeta yelled so loudly that it shook the compound, "FIX THE GRAVITY MACHINE AT ONCE!"
Well, he loved her in his own way.
The End.
