4I had to. Don't judge me

Goku touched down gracefully at the meeting place, with Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo right behind him. The three years of training had come and gone quicker than any of the Z-Fighters could've imagined, and they felt more than ready to take on the Androids. Yamcha and Tien were already at the meeting place, and to Goku's surprise, Bulma was also there.
The blue-haired woman was standing close to Yamcha. And to the surprise of everyone but Goku, she was holding a baby boy in her arms.
"Hey!" Bulma said cheerfully. "Gohan, you've gotten so big!"
Gohan turned slightly red and gave her a sheepish smile. Meanwhile, his father was in a different state. "Bulma, what do you think you're doing here?!" he all but cried out. "Why did you tag along?"
Bulma narrowed her blue eyes at him. "To watch, of course!" she huffed at him. "Don't worry, I'll go home as soon as I get a look at the Androids."
Yamcha sighed. "I tried to get her to stay home, but she insisted on coming."
Krillin, for his part, was completely occupied with the precious cargo in the bluenette's arms. "Is Bulma actually carrying…what I think she's carrying?"
"You and Yamcha got married!" Gohan happily cried out. Bulma beamed at the young boy, while Yamcha chuckled with an ear-to-ear grin.
Goku, however, seemed to have failed to notice his friend's reaction and walked up to Bulma, smiling at the baby in her arms. "Hi, there, Trunks," he said playfully. "Your daddy is Vegeta, isn't he?"
You could've heard a pin drop.
Yamcha and Bulma both lost their smiles as the other Z-Fighters, sans Piccolo, gave Goku a confused look. Then, before he could register it, Bulma had shifted her son into one arm and slapped the Saiyan across the face with her free hand, making him stumble in surprise.
"What is wrong with you?!" Bulma all but shrieked at him, looking furious. "What makes you think I'd ever sleep with that—" her eyes fell on Gohan and she halted herself for a moment. "—that…monster?!"
Goku could only blink in surprise for a moment as he rubbed his now red cheek, then found himself. "Wait…Vegeta's not his father?"
"Of course not! Yamcha's his father!" Bulma snapped, then paused and raised a brow at him. "But you guessed his name correctly…How did you do that?"
Goku chuckled nervously, feeling himself beginning to sweat. "R-Really? Wow! M-Maybe I'm psychic?" He silently prayed that the others would at least buy it.
At this point, he was beginning to notice details about the baby boy that he hadn't before. While the kid from the future had straight purple hair and Vegeta's facial features, this baby had choppy blue hair and Yamcha's facial features. The only similarities between the two were the blue eyes.
Fortunately, it seemed that his prayers were answered, as Bulma rolled her eyes and turned away. "Well, your abilities clearly aren't working properly," she grumbled out, walking away and sitting down on the grass with baby Trunks in her lap. Yamcha elected not to say anything, merely giving Goku a strange look before going to sit next to his lover.
Goku watched as Bulma smiled when Yamcha lowered himself next to her, giving him a quick peck on the lips. Yamcha gave her a tender smile, then turned his attention to their son. "Hey, buddy, how're ya doing?" he asked playfully. Trunks cooed softly at Yamcha, giving him a gummy smile and reaching up at him with his little hands. Yamcha chuckled at his son's action and gingerly pulled him from Bulma's grasp, placing the giggling baby in his lap so he was facing him. And that's when Goku finally noticed the golden wedding bands on Yamcha and Bulma's ring fingers.
The Earth-raised Saiyan could practically feel his thoughts racing through his mind. Had that kid from the future lied to him? No, he couldn't have. The kid turned into a Super Saiyan before his very eyes, there was no denying it. That's when a realization struck Goku. Oh Kami, he felt stupid for not thinking of it sooner. The kid from the future had told him how much he wanted to change this timeline for the better. And he should've expected more changes than him surviving and the Z-Fighters knowing about the Androids ahead of time.
But of all the changes he thought would've happened, this certainly wasn't one of them!
Then another thought cropped up in his mind. The kid from the future said he was going to come back today to help fight against the Androids. Just how was he going to react to this?
I was just casually browsing Tumblr the other day and came across a post talking about a DBZ AU where, after hearing of the impending Android apocalypse, Yamcha and Bulma decide to get married and start a family. As a result, the Trunks in this timeline is a 100% human baby.
Well, I read the post...I'm already a YamBul fan...We know where my mind's at!
