Later that night, when everyone went to bed, Trunks laid back, holding Sara close as she laid on his chest. She was already sound asleep as he gently rubbed her back. It was nice to see her get some real sleep. The first few weeks she had been here, she was always awake and wondering around, trying to keep busy. Even in the time chamber it was so hard for her. She learned quick, but even when she was exhausted she couldn't sleep. The rare moments she did, she looked, scared. He figured some memories she had, were hard to forget.
Before he had asked her to be his mate, he would watch her, closely. During a brief moment of rest, she had curled up, shaking, even letting out a whimper here and there. She had been like that for an hour and it broke his heart. So he moved closer, laying next to her and pulls her close, rubbing her ear softly. It was seconds as she quickly seemed to calm down and before he knew it, she was okay, for a while.
She jumped awake, confused for a second before she looks at him, blushing. He just gives her a innocent smile, hoping she didn't think the worst. "You..were having a nightmare, I think, so I moved closer, sorry guess I woke you anyways..." He goes silent as he watches her try and wipe away a stray tear running down her face. "Oh..no it's okay, you just surprised me is all, I was wondering why my pillow had a heartbeat all of a sudden." Trunks felt his heart sink, he didn't like seeing he upset, not like this.
"What...were you dreaming about?" She moves her hand up, holding the front of her outfit where her own heart was. He saw the flash of pain in her eyes as she spoke. "I still...it's always the same..waking up, my head hurts, everything is blurry, but I can still make out..." Her ears old down, she didn't like going into details of what she saw. "Irenicus...standing over Khalid...he was still...alive, even when..." She couldn't stop the tears as Trunks felt his hold tighten on her. All he could do as she lets out a quiet sob as she hides her face in his shoulder.
"All I could do was..watch as that...b*****d tortured him again and again...even when..he did die, I was...thankful, that he didn't have to be in pain anymore, but that sure as hell didn't stop Irenicus...." Trunks could feel his knuckles turn white but he does his best to keep calm, for her. "Sara...it's not your fault you couldn't save your friend. And it breaks my heart that...you had to watch that..." She lets out a low sniff as she hugs him tight. He hated knowing what she had to go through. Looking at her now, at least now some of the guilt was gone.
Trunks feels himself smirk, after that she let him stay close. He learned that she loved to cuddle against him. He was not about to complain what so over. She lets out a low mumble though as she moves a bit. "Mffh.." He blinks as he watches her just slowly pick herself up and wonders her way to the bathroom. Another odd habit she had, sleepwalking. At least she didn't go far, but it slightly worried him just how easy it was for he to just wonder off, dead asleep and not realize what she was going.
He sometimes had to follow her just to make sure she didn't just fall asleep wherever it was she felt like going. Caught her against the wall once a few days after they came back from training. Lucky for him she returns on her own and flops down, moving back over to him. "Hello my pillow." She was awake and he lets out a small laugh. "Can't sleep love?" She opens her eyes as she looks up at him. "Doesn't help when you can feel something...moving..." Every so often she could feel their child, and sometimes it felt weird.
"It's not a bad thing, I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I feel like our kid is using me as his private training room." Trunks starts to laugh as he places her hand on her stomach. Again he could feel a strong pulse of ki from inside. Their kid was going to be strong if he could sense their kid at only a month along. "Man..he's a strong little guy." Her ears flick as she looks down. "You think it's a boy?" "There's a good chance..it seems to be rather typical for the first born of Saiyans be male." Sara blinks up at him. "But what about Pan?"
Trunks bites his lip before he answers. "She's more human than Saiyan so I don't think that counts, you said it yourself you're not all that human so, there's a high chance we'll have a boy." Sara nods along as he spoke and smiles. "Alright Mr. Smart-Guy I'll trust ya, so what are we going to name our little tike?" He looks up as he goes over a few ideas. His father had wanted to give a Saiyan name to Bulla, but his mom beat him to the punch. "I was thinking of trying to keep the tradition of naming after dad."
"That..might get confusing, don't you think, having two Vegeta's running around?" Sara blinks up at him as he went back to running his fingers over her. Trunks keeps his gaze on her as he kisses the top of her head. "Well, why don't we call him...VJ for short." She tilts her head at him. "For junior." She seems to like this idea as she smiles at him brightly. "Sure, and I'm sure you're father will like that, but what if we are wrong and it's a girl?" Trunks half opens his mouth as he frowns a bit. "Uh...I'm not sure, but I promise to not let my mom name her!" They both laugh as they laid there for awhile.
