Could this Be Love (TurlesxGoku Fanfic)

Mood Swings

~~Turles's POV Cont.~~

I awoke to the sound of my mate crying softly. We had only just found out that he was pregnant, but his symptoms are already out of control, especially these mood swings. Throughout the night I have been woken up to either being hit, screamed at, thrashing around, cussing, and now I was waking up to him crying. I knew that this wasn't easy on him but seriously, his mood swings were scaring the shit out of me. I groaned a bit and sat up, only to see Kakarot on his stomach, crying into a pillow, his tail drooping at his side. I leaned over him and nuzzled his hair softly.

"Kaka...what's wrong my love?" I asked softly.

"You hate me!" He exclaimed, causing me to flinch a bit.

"What are you talking about, Kaka? I don't hate you. I love you with all my heart. I love our baby too, even though it isn't born yet." I said soothingly.

"You don't have to lie to me Turles! I'm nothing but a pain in the ass! I don't deserve you! I deserve to be alone forever! Why the hell are you even with me?" He cried harder and began to shake. I just sighed and pulled my crying mate into my arms.

"I'm not lying Kakarot. You're not a pain in my ass and even if you were, I wouldn't care. I don't want to be with anyone else. I only want to be with you because you're the love of my life. I'm with you because I want you. I want to be able to hold and love you every single day. I want to take care of our baby with you. I want to stay by your side forever." I replied gently.

"But you could do so much better than me! Hell! Raditz is a better choice than me! At least he hasn't been tortured, broken, and scarred!" He screamed, causing me to flinch. I didn't want to be too harsh with him, but from the looks of it, I wasn't going to have much of a choice. I took Kakarot's face in my hands and forced him to look me in the eyes. His eyes were stained red and they were puffy from all the crying. I sighed a bit and touched our foreheads together before speaking.

"Listen to me and listen good, Kakarot." I say harshly, causing him to flinch in my arms. "I don't want anyone else. I can do better, yet at the same time I can't do better because you're the best thing ever. The only thing that's going to make me do any better is when that baby is born. Then I'll have two of the greatest things in life. I'll have you and our baby and that's the only way I can do better. I don't like your brother at all. Not in that way. He's a little too cocky for my taste, but you, you're perfect for me. As for your scars and stuff like that. It's all in the past. This is our future. You, me, and our baby." I replied as I placed my hand on his stomach.

"But..." He started to speak again but I cut him off by crashing our lips together in a very passionate and fiery kiss. He moaned quietly and kissed me back, throwing his arms around my neck. We stayed in our fierce make out session for at least ten minutes before we had to break for air. To my relief, when we broke, he was smiling a bit.

"Now, how about some breakfast?" I asked, knowing that would make him feel a lot better. His tail suddenly perked up and wiggled a little bit, making me laugh slightly. I kissed Kakarot's forehead and went downstairs to make a huge breakfast for the two of us. Seemed that for the moment, his mood swings were under control now. He was back to his normal self for the time being. I just hoped that he wouldn't get into a rage mood swing. I'd have a hard time stopping him from that one, especially since he's pregnant and I really can't knock him out.

I was almost done with breakfast when I heard Kakarot bounce down the stairs. I breathed a slight sigh of relief since he was still in a good mood. I heard him run into the kitchen, squealing happily at the sight of food. I chuckled softly and made him sit down in a chair. He looked around at all the food that was already done and then gave me a pleading look. I thought for a minute and then nodded, telling him that it was okay to start eating. He replied with a 'yay' and then began to dig in to the food. I went back and finished cooking up the last little bit of food before joining him in our breakfast.

~~Goku's POV~~

I crammed as much food in my mouth as I could without choking on it. Since I was eating for two now, I had to make sure to eat a lot of extra food, while still leaving some for my husband. I remembered my mood swing from earlier and sighed quietly. I don't know why I was thinking all of that stuff...maybe because I was afraid that Turles would no longer want me if I got fat or something like that, even though I knew he wouldn't leave my side. My insecurities had been getting the best of me the past two days, but I couldn't let that get me down. I had to stay strong for my baby and my husband. It sounds difficult, but I know that I can do it. As soon as we finish eating, I quickly wash all the dishes before making my way to the couch and flopping down on it, completely stuffed. I heard Turles come into the living room and then felt his presence beside me. I was about to ask him a question when two strong hands came down onto my back, rubbing it carefully. I moaned with pleasure and closed my eyes as Turles worked his hands all over my back. Soon, I felt myself drifting back to sleep. The baby was making it difficult for me to stay awake, especially because it takes a lot of my energy. I yawned a bit before drifting back off into dreamland. The last thing I heard was Turles mutter 'I love you', and I tried to say it back, but sleep completely took over my body, and I was suddenly out like a light.

((Me: I know, kind of a lame chapter, but since Goku just found out he was pregnant in the last chapter, I needed a filler chapter before bringing the baby in! Which may or may not happen in the next chapter... *innocent look*

Goku: I hope it's a girl! *hopeful smile*

Turles: I do too honestly. It'd be nice to have a daughter! 

Me: Well then you two better be thinking of names! I haven't decided on if it's going to be a girl or boy yet, so think of both! 

Goku and Turles: *writing down names together*

Me:Find out the name and gender of the baby in the next chapter! I already know both! *winks* Until next time you guys!))
