Gently he pecks the little girl’s forehead and places her back into her crib, because this was the part of the conversation where he might become extremely talkative and that would probably wake the poor girl up. Because the moment she mentioned that she’d like SOME time with Bulla to teach the girl about engineering and maybe even a little bit of science on the side he remembered that he went through something..that was a little similar to what his mother had in mind. 

“That reminds me, after I defeated the androids, the year following that we were working on getting Capsule corp back on the map, in fact you were incredibly fixated on this because with the company on its feet we would be able to mass produce capsules and that would help restore the world so much faster. We’d be able to ship tons of material, rations and minerals without the need of machines like we’ve done thus far.” He spoke as he found himself a seat, taking a look at his mother with the brightest smile on his face. 

“This was a passion project of yours..more than those all-nighters you’ve spent toiling away at the time machine. The world fate was on your shoulders again but it was different this time, there was no immediate threat or danger so your all-nighters weren’t ‘so bad’ as you called them. Then naturally as your firstborn you suggested the idea of me becoming your apprentice because once I was ready you would make me the CEO of NEO Capsule Corporation.” The smile was still visible but now it was rather sheepish.

“Though..I was really bad at it for the first couple of months but you were patient and you had so much faith in me because I’m your son, and Grandpa’s grandson SO i pushed myself, studied as much as I could and with a year’s training I fixed my first mechanical prosthetic..your training methods after that…well alittle harsh but it yielded some results. Needless to say Babidi attacked a couple of years after that…then it was black.”

His tone became slightly somber but he wasn’t wrapped in much despair as he used to, or he was probably so much better at hiding it. “The time we spent together with me working under you..it was nice, hard but nice. You and father are really birds of a feather in your fields of expertise.” There was that bright smile once again before his mind then returned towards the topic of Beerus and Whis’ catering expenses. “I’ll try not to eat too much during the picnic. I’ve actually gotten really good at rationing food.”

She looks at Trunks fondly. Even though they come from different worlds, it seems that there's nothing that can halt this family bond. Seeing him get attached to her daughter so quickly makes her feel at ease-- Trunks has saved her life before, she's more than comfortable trusting him with her daughter.

"That's far away in the future, now. Just focus on the present."

She says, not even acknowledging the complicated nature of their time together. For her, this is it. What's happening, right now, in this moment with him... that's all that exists for her.

........ But one day it's very possible that Bulma will be chasing a boy off her front porch with a wrench.

"Well, if you wanna teach Bulla one day, that's fine by me, but..." Truthfully, she'd like to see her daughter follow in her own footsteps, but she knows that the fury of saiyan blood can't be tamed so easily. "Try not to take up too much of her time with it, alright? I wanna teach her things too. I'll leave the training to you and your dad- I've got a lot I want to do already!"

She always preferred staying in her lab- the physical activities that Vegeta and Trunks get up to have never held any interest to her. Rather, with Vegeta as a spouse... there's no need to know how to fight for herself at all.

"Ahaha... Well, with Lord Beerus and Whis around, I can't slack off! I hire a lot of different caterers for my parties, so it's not a problem at all. I don't mind the price, I can afford just about anything."
