Author's Note- Only one more chapter to go! Wow, look at all the reviews... I want to thank everyone and shamelessly plug my other stories. If you like this one, I'm sure you'd enjoy, My Angel... Won't You Be Mine?. So Anyways... this is a short chapter but the last one is gonna be big!

Nerissa shivers as Piccolo paces back and forth. He knows he can't keep a promise like that. He is just worried about his beloved. Nerissa has been watching Piccolo pace to and fro for the past hour. She sits up and Piccolo turns to her.

"What is it, Piccolo?" Nerissa asks.

"Just sleep, Nerissa." Piccolo smiles to comfort Nerissa.

"Come over, here." Nerissa pats the bed.

Piccolo sits on the bed, "I can't promise you I won't fight."

"I know. I shouldn't have made you," Nerissa rubs Piccolo's shoulders.

Piccolo lays down on the bed, scooping Nerissa up in his strong, protective arms. Nerissa falls asleep along with Piccolo.

Little did they know, Cooler is watching them in his ship, just moments away from Earth. He runs his metallic fingers along the screen, that shows Piccolo and Nerissa, curled up together.

"Garsus, how much longer?" His deep voice is very commanding and abrupt.

"Two minutes, sir." A green reptile-like creature responds with a scratchy voice.

"What do you think, Garsus?" Cooler smiles as he watches Nerissa sleep.

"What do you mean, Lord Cooler, sir?" Garsus looks at his master with concern.

"She is beautiful, is she not?" Cooler's smile turns evil quickly.

"Yes, she is quite a beauty. Why she is with that hideous Namek, who knows."

"She is powerful, too. I will have her." Cooler laughs evilly.

"But her child, sir. It has been foretold the child will be your downfall." The ships lands.

"I can kill the child, without killing the mother." Cooler exits the ship.

They sleep soundly, not knowing the danger right outside the corporation. Cooler sees Vegeta sleeping soundly outside, apparently on lookout. Cooler smirks at the Saiyain.

'Just like the mighty prince to sleep on the job.'

Cooler sneaks into the complex. He opens the door to the room containing, Piccolo and Nerissa. Cooler gazes at Nerissa.

"Even more beautiful in person." Cooler sighs.

Bulma wakes hearing Cooler over the surveillance camera. She hits the alarm which wakes Nerissa and Piccolo. They both bolt up and Piccolo stands protectively in front of Nerissa.

"Cooler!" Piccolo pushes Nerissa behind him.

"Come with me, beautiful one." Cooler extends his hand, smirking at Nerissa.

"You! Stay away from her!" Piccolo growls knocking away Cooler's hand.

"Don't make me kill you, Namek." Cooler smiles sadistically.

"Cooler!" Vegeta calls out angrily but Cooler closes the door on the prince.

"My, my, you had it all planned didn't you?" Cooler laughs maniacally.

"I won't let you hurt Nerissa!" Piccolo's lips curl into a snarl.

"I didn't think you would. If she was mine, I would protect her, as well. I guess I could use a fight."

"Piccolo, don't fight!" Nerissa pulls on his cape.

"I have no choice." Piccolo looks over his shoulder.

"Nerissa, come... be my queen. I won't kill the Namek if you come." Cooler extends his hand.

"Don't believe him!" Piccolo snaps.

"You can't kill him anyways!" Nerissa shouts.

Cooler raises an eyebrow, "I can't?"

"Piccolo and I are bound in life and death."

"I see... if he dies, you die, as well." Cooler smirks, "I want to speak to you Nerissa, alone."

"No way!" Piccolo stands firmly in front of Nerissa.

"Cooler!" Vegeta blasts down the door, "You can't have her."

Cooler glares over his shoulder at the prince, "I will be back for you, after that child of yours is born. I will take you and kill your lover and child."

Cooler disappears.

Vegeta sighs, "When will your child be born?"

Nerissa looks down at her stomach, "Within a month."

"Really? That soon?" Piccolo looks at her, surprised.

"Yes. Vegeta, what do you think Cooler wants?"

"Your child dead and you as his queen. Cooler doesn't fool around. He says what he wants."

"I can't believe it. Why would he want me as his queen?"

"I've known many women around the galaxies and none have exceeded your beauty." Vegeta complements.

Nerissa blushes a bright red, "Really?"

"Isn't that sweet?" Piccolo glares sternly at Vegeta.

"I'm going back on lookout." Vegeta exits.

"Do you like Vegeta?" Piccolo doesn't dare make eye contact after asking a question like that.

"What do you mean?" Nerissa slips back in the bed.

"Just what I said."

"I consider Vegeta a friend." Nerissa rolls her back to Piccolo.

"Do you wish to be alone?"

"No!" She jolts up.

"Sleep. I need to do some training in the hyperbolic time chamber."

"How long?"

"One day. It will actually be a year to me but only a day to you."

"One day without you will feel like a year."

Piccolo leans down and kisses Nerissa softly on the lips, "I trust you will be here when I get back."

"And I trust you to come back."

Piccolo throws on his shirt and weighted clothing exiting.
