Setting: Earth| Time: Present
The Heaven's Gift
******************************************************** *
* 10 days since Arteesia kicked baby Vegeta into space. *
* 1 day after Reginleif had given birth. *
*********************************************************
It was the day after I had had my baby. I was sitting in my chair resting
while I grimly looked over the birth certificate I had yet to file for along
with my babies death certificate they gave me just before I left the
hospital. I had been crying off and on since I had gotten home. Kirkjbur,
to help me out, took our 5-year-old daughter with him to town to give me some
quiet time. She pestered me again and again as to where her little brother
was. But I was having a hard time helping her young mind deal with death.
Freya my step-daughter had remained behind to help and comfort me.
"Reginleif why don't you put those away for now and rest." She encouraged
me. *Sigh* "Your right...this is only making it worse." I admitted. I got
up to put the papers away when my ears caught a high whistling sound. "Do
you hear that?" I asked Freya. She cocked her head to a side and listened,
then shook her head. "Sorry Reginleif, my hearing isn't as keen as your's."
She replied. A couple of moments later though she too heard the sound as it
grew ever louder becoming more like thunder causing us to cover our ears.
KAPOMMMMMMM! There was a massive impact outside so strong it rocked my 30'
trailer I lived in with Frigga. I caught myself against the wall. "What the
hell was that?!" I exclaimed. "I don't know but were gonna find out."
Replied Freya as she rose from the couch and started out the door. I was
still sore from yesterday so I didn't move as swiftly. When I caught up I
gasped as I saw Freya standing on the edge of a crater just 15' outside our
back gate near the cattle and goose yard. "Is it a metorite?" I asked as I
approached. Freya shrugged her shoulders and shook her head as if to say
"don't know"? Soon the dust cleared to reveal a sphere of a sort. Both of
us looked at each other, neither of us willing to go down and investigate.
That was until my ears caught a sound. "Reginleif what are you doing?"
Called Freya as I began to go down the crater heedlessly. "I hear a baby
crying." I yelled back as I half slid half walk into the 20' crater. "What,
are you kidding?" she said as she came down after me. Once at the pod I
distinctly heard a baby crying for certian. Maternal instincts and adrenalin
must have kicked in because I felt no pain and with in moments I found a way
to open the pod. As the door poped open the sound inside increase in volume.
With out thought I looked in side. I looked in horror as I beheld a horribly
bruised boy infant. His solid black eyes stairing at me imploringly, the
whites totaly red from broken blood vessles in his eyes. His little ribs
were sticking out from malnourishment. He was so weak that all he could is
cry; he could barely move. I then noticed his umbilicus was still attatched
so he had to be two weeks of age, maybe less. Compassion overcame me as I
reached for the injured infant. "Oh, oh, oh, little one don't cry." I'll
take care of you." I cooed as I lifted him into my arms as carfully as I
could. He seemed very stiff and frightened. I could not blame him, he
obviously been through a lot in his very short life. "It is a baby, and Oh
my Gods he's hurt bad." Freya stated as she saw me turn. "I'm going to take
him to my trailer, check the sphere for anything that might help or be of
use." I told her as I began to pick my way up. "But what about if anyone
saw this?" She asked. "We live miles away from people so I doubt there will
be any trouble." I replied breathing heavly as I assended. I began to feel
slightly weak from my exertions. I was panting hard by the time I reached
the top. I turned and watched as Freya pulled an item out of the craft. I
began to feel acute sorness returning to me as the adrenalin began to wear
off. Freya must have hit something inside the sphere when she exited though.
For as she turned to trudge up and join me a male voice speaking in a tongue
I've never heard the likes of said a phrase, then began to speak in messured
tones. My eyes widened as I realzied what it likely was. My heart spead up
and prepared my body to once again move; This time swiftly. "Oh shit Freya
RUN, I THINK IT'S A SELF DESTUCT SEQUENCE." I yelled as I turned and ran
around the cattle yard, then hunkered down on the otherside near the coop of
the poultry yard. Moments later Freya breathlessly joined me. A muffled
explosion took place only seconds later. Or rather I should say a INplosion.
When we went back to check the pod crater and all were gone. The sand
settling down as if nothing had ever been there. I looked back down at my
charge and smiled. His fathomless black eyes regaurding me unsurely. "Come
on, let's take care of him shall we." I said to Freya as I ignored the
former crater area and went back to my trailer. Once inside I immediatly
(and greatfully) sat in my chair and lifted my t-shirt. The baby watched in
intrest as lowered the flap on a nursing bra that I had had since Frigga was
born. I was using it till by breast's went back to normal. Now I was happy
they were so swollen with milk. "Keeee!" He croaked happily as he realized I
was going to nurse him. He sniffed at me, nuzzled, then hungrily he attached
himself to my breast and began to nurse vigorously. I looked up at Freya who
was close behind me. "Sweetie would you please get Frigga's old baby tub out
of storage and start some water boiling so I can bathe him after he's
finished." I asked her. She looked at me only a moment then smiled. "Sure
Reginleif I'm on it." She replied as she left to do her task. I turned my
attention back to the infant who was busy with his meal. I rocked and spoke
to him soothingly all the while till both breasts were drained. He then
nuzzled me and to my shock wraped a soiled, matted brown tail around my wrist
almost possesivly. "A tail?" I thought to myself. My shock quickly faded
as I smiled and remembered he was from another world; so why not a tail. I
again felt pain and fatigue trying to overwhelm me. But I could not give in
just yet, this baby needed me. I hoped the water would be ready soon as he
was still covered in his own waste from his struggles and lack of diaper and
I was sure he'd also be happier if he were clean. Freya re-entered my
trailer. "I got it out, cleaned it up and set it in the main tub." "The
water is all ready too so I poured it and cooled it to the correct
temprature." She informed me. I looked at the baby. "Okay little one, it's
time I cleaned you up." I told him. He looked up from his snuggling, his
eyes shining and smiled back at me with a full set of tiny lobed teeth
complete with little fangs. "Curious." I stated smileing back as I rose to
my feet and started for where his bath waited. As I walked the short
distance from my trailer to the bath house all the dogs and wolves wanted to
smell and "see" the new addition. But I was far too protective to even
consider their sometimes rough handling though I knew they would not harm
him. I growled and snarled convincingly causing the lot of them to back off.
I always could mimic most animal noises well. Not to mention I had a good
understanding of canine body language. Once at the bath house I carfully
unwound his tiny tail. "Oh he's got a tail... how cute." Freya chimed
smiling. I smiled back at her as I eased him into the warm water and began to
bathe him. As I did the great pain I had earlier from losing my son eased as
my heart began already to accept him as my own.
********************************* Chibi ******************************
Endless spinning and turning along with horrible fading images of a she-
monster trying to strangle the life from his newly born body; made the
already weak Saiyajin infant more upset than ever. He had woken up only
minutes ago feeling so weak he could barely move. He did not know he had
been sleeping for more than a week due to the gas he had inhaled. He cried
as it was the only thing left to him. He cried for his REAL mother to come
rescue, care for, and feed him. His instincts told him that his mother would
surely answer his cries if he just continued long enough. Suddenly the
darkness of space was replaced by the light of a shining sun in the distance
as his pod entered the atmosphere of a world far away from his own. He
quieted for a few moments at this new development startled him to silence.
But with the sudden inflation of safty bags along with the impact of the pod
striking the surface of the planet moments later only served to terrify the
infant further causing him to resume his cries. A couple of minutes later he
heard the sound of someone or something trying to open the pod he was in. He
jerked in fear as the door popped open. His slightly blurred red hewed
vision clouded his usually keen eyes as he beheld the pale face of what he
knew to be a woman who regaurded him curiously. She spoke to him in
sootheing tones as he felt her gently pick him up. Feelings of relief
tempered with trepidation of the unknown filled the tiny starved Saiyajin.
The last THING that handled him had nearly killed him. He still was unsure
of who this deliverer was. Another female came into view regaurding him with
the same curiosity. The one that held him spoke to her companion before she
pulled him closer to her as she left the pod behind. She continued speaking
to her companion while she climbed out of the hole his pod made. Once at the
top she faced the crater and the pod once again. From his vantage point in
her arms he watched rather detached as the other female went in then came out
of his prison. When she started to come up too it began to speak in a
familiar tongue. The grip the woman who had him became more protective as
she heard the voice while the smell of fear began to fill his sensitive
nostrals. She yelled something to the other woman then began to run till she
arrived to her desired destination. Bewildered the little one could only
hope he was not in danger again. Yet the way she held him then shielded his
body once she stopped running told his infant mind that this female was
acting as his mother should. She even smelled of a female who had recently
given birth. Almost like the monster that had tried to kill him but...
different. And that difference was enough for him. Suddenly his sensitive
ears heard a loud muffled sound which frightened him. Once it was over his
rescuer went to investigate the sound the smell of fear fading fast from her.
She then looked at him with those strange light coloured eyes, spoke breifly
and smiled. He was still unsure, yet she DID pull him out of that horrible
thing and she DID seem protective of him like his mother should be. It was
when she carried him into a snug dwelling that all his unsureness desolved as
she sat down and began to expose her milk filled breasts. She WAS his
mother, who else would do all these things. She found him at last and now he
was safe. A sense of joy and total relief filled the infant for the first
time in days. "Keee." He managed to croak through his still very painful
throat. With happiness only infants know he familiarized himself with his
"true" mother's scent before setting upon the profered meal with zest. His
shrunken stomach though not quite full had at last a good warm meal in it.
Once they were empty he he snuggled into her large warm breasts happy he was
with his REAL mother. He then wraped his tail around her wrist in
acknowlegement she was HIS mother. Nothing was ever going to hurt or
seperate them again while she lived, of this he was certian. Soon the other
female came back to the dwelling and spoke to his mother. He heard her
address him with her sweet cooing voice. He didn't know what she was saying
only that she was likely to further see to his comfort. With all the joy in
his little heart he looked adoringly at her and smiled back at his mother
whom smiled back at him. She muttered something to herself as she rose from
her seat and took him back into the brillant light of the outside. As she
walked a distance he could "just" see many four legged creatures dancing
around her. He could smell their curiosity. But his mother would have
nothing to do with them as she growled and bared her teeth at them causing
them to back off with wimpers and whines. Once they were in another dwelling
she carefully unwound his tail and lowered him into wonderfully warm water.
This was grand as she applied a watery like liquid to his brusied person and
made soft white stuff appear as she rubbed him all over with it. What a
wonderful experience. She made sure to support him all the while. Had he
been at full strenght this would not be necessary but she seemed not to mind
his weakness. He didn't even flinch when she washed his neck. His trust in
her now complete as he gave himself up to her gentle ministrations.
********************************** Reginleif******************************
He seemed happy with the bath I gave him. Carefully I dried him off, ever
mindful of his wounds. I was surprised as it seemed the brusies were not as
sever as I first thought. I studdied them a little, processing the
information as I put on a diper from a package I had bought long ago in
anticipation of my babies birth. I then dressed him in a special outfit I
had made for my son before I found out about his anencephaly. It was a royal
blue velvet top with rich red trim and matching pants. His fluffy soft hair
was so strange, no matter how I tried it always stood strait up like a tongue
of flame. I shrugged figuring this was how his peoples hair was. When I
lifted him to me he then began to nuzzle my breasts in a manner suggesting he
was hungery again already. Since I knew nothing of his people I was not sure
if this was normal or if it was from his obvious starvation. What I did know
was that my breasts were not yet ready to give him any substantial meal so I
had to think of something else. I didn't have any other milk to offer him
yet as Kirkjbur was to milk the cow and goats when he got home. It then
occured to me that if he had a full set of teeth like he did then possibly he
could eat more substatial things. With out a second thought I went to the
frig and brought out a pound of beef franks I had planned to make for
Frigga's, Freya's, and my supper that evening. "No worries, I'll just cook
something else up." I thought to myself. I went back to my trailer where
Freya waited, sat down in my chair, and opened the package. The moment his
keen little nose picked up their smell his eyes were glued on my activities.
"Who's those for?" Freya asked curiously. "You'll see." I replied cooly.
Her eyes flew open in suprise as he ravenously ate each and every one of the
franks. Next I got a pound of beef bologna which disappeared in record time.
followed by 2 apple's, 2 banana's and half a gallon of warm whole goat's milk
that I had Freya milk for me from my most gentle doe Gebo. "Geez...the kid
can eat." Freya stated in awe. He then let out a huge belch of contentment
before he snuggled back into my breasts as his hunger was assuaged for now.
He looked at me with happy, sleepy eyes as I rocked him. I remembered a
lullabye song I heard and began to sing it to him.
Heaven's gift to me, just the way you are,
A new age child from a distant star,
It feels so good just to be so close to your love,
You are heaven's gift to me.
You are so sweet and pure, just the way you are,
Mamma's precious jewel, Daddies rising star,
There's sooo much in life for you to see and so much to be
You are heaven's gift to me.
Heaven's gift to me, just the way you are,
A new age child from a distant star,
It feels so good just to be so close to your love,
You are heaven's gift to meeeee.
He seemed pleased with the song as he was snoring lightly in my arms as I
held him. "Thank you Goddess, thank you for this son you guided to me to
love and care for." I whispered while tears of happiness escaped my eyes. I
lowered my lips to his high forehead and kissed it lightly. "Your going to
keep him aren't you?" Freya asked but I knew she already knew the answer. I
merely nodded in response. I looked up at her. "Did you find anything else
in the sphere before it blew?" I asked. "Oh yeah, I did...I found this."
She replied as she brought out what appeared to be a pure gold medallion with
a sun symbol on one side and a fierce dragon on the other. Oddly the dragon
looked very much as the Tattoo I had on the center of my breast. "Hmmmm, I
guess it could be a family crest or something." I surmised. Freya nodded
"Could be, the chain it was on was broken though." "I think he riped it off
whom ever was attacking him." She replied. I re-examined his bruises more
closely. I noted that the finger marks seemed too delicate to be a mans;
more likely a womans. A cold sick feeling swept through me as I figured that
it was likely HIS MOTHER who had done this to him. "What a sick sadistic
bitch." I thought to myself. of course Earth it self was full of demented
people mudering their own children too. I had seen enough of such heartless
cruelity up close and personal that the thought of any one hurting MY
helpless infant caused a rage to begin to build in me. I calmed myself then
I shuddered as I remebered my own experiences and held him all the more
securely. No way was I going to let ANYTHING hurt him while I still drew
breath. My thoughts were interupted by Freya. "that dragon sorta looks like
your tattoo too, did you notice?" She queried. I nodded. "Yeah strange
eh." I replied. "So what are you going to name him?" She asked. I looked up
at her, just behind her was my blood son's birth certificate yet
unregistered. I smiled as I realized what I was going to do. "I'm going to
call him Haakon." I stated. I was giving him the name I was going to call
my dead son. The name itself ment "One of the exalted race." It was a old
Norse name that was resereved for royalty. It seemed to suit him well. "You
are Haakon...MY son." I whispered to the sleeping babe. He stired at little
then wrapped his soft brown tail around my wrist before sighing and slipping
back into a deep slumber. "Yes little one, rest...Mamma is here and I won't
let ANYTHING hurt you again." I added as I gave into my fatigue at last and
drifted off for a nap of my own.
***********************************Later that day***********************
Haakon and I were abruptly awoken by the dogs and wolves howling and barking
signifiying Kirkjbur's return from town. My little son gave me a dubious
look at hearing the disturbing noises. "Don't worry my son, it's just Daddy
and your big sister Frigga home from town." I told him soothingly. I did a
double take as I realized his bruises were a lot better than just a couple of
hours ago. "Wow, I guess you heal fast little one." I stated in awe of my
adopted son's feat of rapid regeneration. I figured he could achieve this so
long as he was adequately nurished. "Come on let's go see Daddy and Frigga
shall we." I said as I rose from the chair and exited my trailer. Freya met
me just outside since she was returning from having a snack. "How do you
think Dad will take all this?" She asked me as she fell in step beside me.
"Not sure, but I think he'll like the idea." I replied frankly. When we
exited the main yard it was Frigga who was first to notice the bundle in my
arms. "Mamma you finally brought my little brother home!" She stated
triumphantly as she bounded over. Kirkjbur looked up with a very puzzled
expression. When he saw the small baby nestled in my arms he immediately
came over. "Who is this?" He asked me. I told him the whole story as well
as my intent to keep and raise this son given to me by the heaven's. I also
informed him of our new son's acute apatite as well as his ability to eat
regular foods. "Well of course we'll keep and raise him Reginleif." "It's
obvious that who ever did this isn't coming for him and he'll need a
family." "Besides we KNOW what the government would do to this poor child if
THEY got a hold of him." He replied in the end. When I handed Haakon over
to meet his "Daddy" his reaction was to sniff Kirkjbur most throughly then
nuzzled him. Aparently he accepted Kirkjbur as his Daddy. Kirkjbur was
taken a back when he first saw Haakon's tail. But like myself he accepted it
without question. "He'll be a wonderful son Reginleif." Kirkjbur stated as
he handed Haakon to Freya. Freya took that opportunity to get better
acquainted with her new baby brother while he seemed to take in her scent
too. Freya then crouched down so Frigga could meet her little brother.
"Mamma he's soooo cute, I love him." She annouced happily. He greeted
Frigga with equal happieness, also seeming to be getting familiar her scent
as well. Later when my step-son Brenden returned from the communtiy college
he too was introduced to Haakon. When told the whole story my step-son took
it with a shrug and thought it was good we were keeping him too. As he was
also looking forward to having another boy in the family. Haakon though
seemed to take exception to Brenden's oh so peculiar odor by blowing his nose
like the dogs do when they want to clear a scent from their nose. It wasn't
like Brenden stunk because he didn't bathe cause he did and often. It was
just he ate sooooo much hot sauce and pepper with his food it permeated his
skin with a unique pungent odor. "He thinks you stink, ha, ha." Said Frigga
while pointing to her big brother. Brenden just shrugged at her. He had
always been very layed back and detached, little disturbed him.
Later on Kirkjbur, I, and the rest of the family agreed to tell "non-family"
that he was the survior of a twin birth and that his brother "Bjorn" did not
live long after birth. We would register the death certificate thusly while
registering the birth certificate with Haakon's name. We had told no one yet
of the unfortunate fate of our blood child so we would omit that fact to all.
To us it was as if he HAD been born to us; and we would protect and raise him
thusly.
**********************************Haakon ********************************
His little heart gave a start as the barking and howling noises from outside
invaded his first good rest. He looked to his mother for explination. She
smiled and spoke to him in the tone that told him it was okay. He felt A LOT
better and stronger. His mother spoke to him again as she rose from the
chair and went out into the diming light of the day. She was joined by the
other woman he had seen earlier. He wanted to sniff her scent and acquaint
himself with her as he was now sure she was part of his family. They went
past the noisy four legged reception commity outside a large gated opening.
He then heard the sound of another yet older child's voice speak in loud
happy tones as she came into his view. He was stronger but could not hold up
his head quite yet. A moment later a bigger being came into view. It was
much bigger than his Mother but had her scent all over. It had hair on it's
face and had a deeper voice when it spoke. It then clicked in his infant
mind that this was a male and HE was HIS Daddy. Joyfully he greeted and
bonded with his male parent nuzzling all the while, then with his two she-
siblings. Feelings of being protected and secure grew stronger with each
introduced family member ending with his eldest sibling that smelled strongly
to his sensitive nose. He didn't care though, he was home, he was safe, and
that was all that mattered now. His mother soon was giving him his next meal
of warm milk that he eargerly suckled from her generous breasts. Followed by
a great repast of tasty meat and slightly less tasty green and orange things
as well as some warm richer milk that his mother fed him through a fake
nipple attacthed to small bottles. His tummy at last full he settled down
for another long restful sleep safe in his Mother's arms. He was barly aware
when she rose from her chair, called to his older sister, and went to the
soft sleeping area in the back of his new home. She then nestled him between
her and his sister keeping him warm and feeling very safe. Soon he was fully
asleep The nightmares of a short time ago were now pushed away. Replaced by
the happy dreams of his mother, the rest of his family, and how safe he was
now that he was with them.
******************
*Light Years Away*
******************
It had been seven days since he had been informed of his sons untimely
demise. None but his cousin Cumba and his mate Lehree knew how he still
suffered deeply from the loss. To others his deeply buried feelings seemed
to make him totally unmoved by his sons death. Even to his loveless mate he
seemed over his sons passing. But for the past seven nights he slept alone
in his private chambers. Every night he'd look into the star filled night
sending out his conciousness. None save Cumba knew just how powerful a
telepath he was. It was astounding by any standards which came with some
added "bonuses". But this time he only concentrated with all his being
trying to somehow "reach" his son's spirit. Surly there could be some spirit
connection just as he and his cousin had. It had been hours, he was about to
give up when he thought he "heard" something. He strained his mental ear to
listen his head begining to ache from the over-extension. He then "heard"
the distant sound of a woman singing. He did not understand the language but
it was beautiful, soothing, and sincere. Along with the song was the feeling
of contentment accompanied by safty. Was some sweet she-spirit lulling his
son's spirit to sleep in the other world or...WAS HE STILL ALIVE AND WAS HE
"HEARING" HIS SONS MIND? With the proposition of finding out for sure he
tried to extend his extrodinary but overtaxed gift out further still. It was
too much; the connection severed suddenly. He gasped as he slammed back into
himself followed by a bout of heavy breathing. He resolutely came to a
assumption as he caught his breath. Well if it HAD been his son he had
"heard", whether dead or alive, he was being looked after and was content.
But it was enough for him to set a small fire of hope burning strongly
inside. If his son lived he would find him, bring him home, and make
Arteesia pay for her lies and treachery.
(A/N: I hope you like the meeting of the first two shattered lives. Looks like Reginleif is gonna have her hands full with Chibi, and she'll love every minute of it too. XD
And it seems King Vegeta through his telepathic capabilities, is convinced that some how his son lives. Hmmm, wonder what ol Arteesia would do if she found out about this <:Þ>. Till next chapter, take care.)

Setting: Earth| Time: Present
The Heaven's Gift
******************************************************** *
* 10 days since Arteesia kicked baby Vegeta into space. *
* 1 day after Reginleif had given birth. *
*********************************************************
It was the day after I had had my baby. I was sitting in my chair resting
while I grimly looked over the birth certificate I had yet to file for along
with my babies death certificate they gave me just before I left the
hospital. I had been crying off and on since I had gotten home. Kirkjbur,
to help me out, took our 5-year-old daughter with him to town to give me some
quiet time. She pestered me again and again as to where her little brother
was. But I was having a hard time helping her young mind deal with death.
Freya my step-daughter had remained behind to help and comfort me.
"Reginleif why don't you put those away for now and rest." She encouraged
me. *Sigh* "Your right...this is only making it worse." I admitted. I got
up to put the papers away when my ears caught a high whistling sound. "Do
you hear that?" I asked Freya. She cocked her head to a side and listened,
then shook her head. "Sorry Reginleif, my hearing isn't as keen as your's."
She replied. A couple of moments later though she too heard the sound as it
grew ever louder becoming more like thunder causing us to cover our ears.
KAPOMMMMMMM! There was a massive impact outside so strong it rocked my 30'
trailer I lived in with Frigga. I caught myself against the wall. "What the
hell was that?!" I exclaimed. "I don't know but were gonna find out."
Replied Freya as she rose from the couch and started out the door. I was
still sore from yesterday so I didn't move as swiftly. When I caught up I
gasped as I saw Freya standing on the edge of a crater just 15' outside our
back gate near the cattle and goose yard. "Is it a metorite?" I asked as I
approached. Freya shrugged her shoulders and shook her head as if to say
"don't know"? Soon the dust cleared to reveal a sphere of a sort. Both of
us looked at each other, neither of us willing to go down and investigate.
That was until my ears caught a sound. "Reginleif what are you doing?"
Called Freya as I began to go down the crater heedlessly. "I hear a baby
crying." I yelled back as I half slid half walk into the 20' crater. "What,
are you kidding?" she said as she came down after me. Once at the pod I
distinctly heard a baby crying for certian. Maternal instincts and adrenalin
must have kicked in because I felt no pain and with in moments I found a way
to open the pod. As the door poped open the sound inside increase in volume.
With out thought I looked in side. I looked in horror as I beheld a horribly
bruised boy infant. His solid black eyes stairing at me imploringly, the
whites totaly red from broken blood vessles in his eyes. His little ribs
were sticking out from malnourishment. He was so weak that all he could is
cry; he could barely move. I then noticed his umbilicus was still attatched
so he had to be two weeks of age, maybe less. Compassion overcame me as I
reached for the injured infant. "Oh, oh, oh, little one don't cry." I'll
take care of you." I cooed as I lifted him into my arms as carfully as I
could. He seemed very stiff and frightened. I could not blame him, he
obviously been through a lot in his very short life. "It is a baby, and Oh
my Gods he's hurt bad." Freya stated as she saw me turn. "I'm going to take
him to my trailer, check the sphere for anything that might help or be of
use." I told her as I began to pick my way up. "But what about if anyone
saw this?" She asked. "We live miles away from people so I doubt there will
be any trouble." I replied breathing heavly as I assended. I began to feel
slightly weak from my exertions. I was panting hard by the time I reached
the top. I turned and watched as Freya pulled an item out of the craft. I
began to feel acute sorness returning to me as the adrenalin began to wear
off. Freya must have hit something inside the sphere when she exited though.
For as she turned to trudge up and join me a male voice speaking in a tongue
I've never heard the likes of said a phrase, then began to speak in messured
tones. My eyes widened as I realzied what it likely was. My heart spead up
and prepared my body to once again move; This time swiftly. "Oh shit Freya
RUN, I THINK IT'S A SELF DESTUCT SEQUENCE." I yelled as I turned and ran
around the cattle yard, then hunkered down on the otherside near the coop of
the poultry yard. Moments later Freya breathlessly joined me. A muffled
explosion took place only seconds later. Or rather I should say a INplosion.
When we went back to check the pod crater and all were gone. The sand
settling down as if nothing had ever been there. I looked back down at my
charge and smiled. His fathomless black eyes regaurding me unsurely. "Come
on, let's take care of him shall we." I said to Freya as I ignored the
former crater area and went back to my trailer. Once inside I immediatly
(and greatfully) sat in my chair and lifted my t-shirt. The baby watched in
intrest as lowered the flap on a nursing bra that I had had since Frigga was
born. I was using it till by breast's went back to normal. Now I was happy
they were so swollen with milk. "Keeee!" He croaked happily as he realized I
was going to nurse him. He sniffed at me, nuzzled, then hungrily he attached
himself to my breast and began to nurse vigorously. I looked up at Freya who
was close behind me. "Sweetie would you please get Frigga's old baby tub out
of storage and start some water boiling so I can bathe him after he's
finished." I asked her. She looked at me only a moment then smiled. "Sure
Reginleif I'm on it." She replied as she left to do her task. I turned my
attention back to the infant who was busy with his meal. I rocked and spoke
to him soothingly all the while till both breasts were drained. He then
nuzzled me and to my shock wraped a soiled, matted brown tail around my wrist
almost possesivly. "A tail?" I thought to myself. My shock quickly faded
as I smiled and remembered he was from another world; so why not a tail. I
again felt pain and fatigue trying to overwhelm me. But I could not give in
just yet, this baby needed me. I hoped the water would be ready soon as he
was still covered in his own waste from his struggles and lack of diaper and
I was sure he'd also be happier if he were clean. Freya re-entered my
trailer. "I got it out, cleaned it up and set it in the main tub." "The
water is all ready too so I poured it and cooled it to the correct
temprature." She informed me. I looked at the baby. "Okay little one, it's
time I cleaned you up." I told him. He looked up from his snuggling, his
eyes shining and smiled back at me with a full set of tiny lobed teeth
complete with little fangs. "Curious." I stated smileing back as I rose to
my feet and started for where his bath waited. As I walked the short
distance from my trailer to the bath house all the dogs and wolves wanted to
smell and "see" the new addition. But I was far too protective to even
consider their sometimes rough handling though I knew they would not harm
him. I growled and snarled convincingly causing the lot of them to back off.
I always could mimic most animal noises well. Not to mention I had a good
understanding of canine body language. Once at the bath house I carfully
unwound his tiny tail. "Oh he's got a tail... how cute." Freya chimed
smiling. I smiled back at her as I eased him into the warm water and began to
bathe him. As I did the great pain I had earlier from losing my son eased as
my heart began already to accept him as my own.
********************************* Chibi ******************************
Endless spinning and turning along with horrible fading images of a she-
monster trying to strangle the life from his newly born body; made the
already weak Saiyajin infant more upset than ever. He had woken up only
minutes ago feeling so weak he could barely move. He did not know he had
been sleeping for more than a week due to the gas he had inhaled. He cried
as it was the only thing left to him. He cried for his REAL mother to come
rescue, care for, and feed him. His instincts told him that his mother would
surely answer his cries if he just continued long enough. Suddenly the
darkness of space was replaced by the light of a shining sun in the distance
as his pod entered the atmosphere of a world far away from his own. He
quieted for a few moments at this new development startled him to silence.
But with the sudden inflation of safty bags along with the impact of the pod
striking the surface of the planet moments later only served to terrify the
infant further causing him to resume his cries. A couple of minutes later he
heard the sound of someone or something trying to open the pod he was in. He
jerked in fear as the door popped open. His slightly blurred red hewed
vision clouded his usually keen eyes as he beheld the pale face of what he
knew to be a woman who regaurded him curiously. She spoke to him in
sootheing tones as he felt her gently pick him up. Feelings of relief
tempered with trepidation of the unknown filled the tiny starved Saiyajin.
The last THING that handled him had nearly killed him. He still was unsure
of who this deliverer was. Another female came into view regaurding him with
the same curiosity. The one that held him spoke to her companion before she
pulled him closer to her as she left the pod behind. She continued speaking
to her companion while she climbed out of the hole his pod made. Once at the
top she faced the crater and the pod once again. From his vantage point in
her arms he watched rather detached as the other female went in then came out
of his prison. When she started to come up too it began to speak in a
familiar tongue. The grip the woman who had him became more protective as
she heard the voice while the smell of fear began to fill his sensitive
nostrals. She yelled something to the other woman then began to run till she
arrived to her desired destination. Bewildered the little one could only
hope he was not in danger again. Yet the way she held him then shielded his
body once she stopped running told his infant mind that this female was
acting as his mother should. She even smelled of a female who had recently
given birth. Almost like the monster that had tried to kill him but...
different. And that difference was enough for him. Suddenly his sensitive
ears heard a loud muffled sound which frightened him. Once it was over his
rescuer went to investigate the sound the smell of fear fading fast from her.
She then looked at him with those strange light coloured eyes, spoke breifly
and smiled. He was still unsure, yet she DID pull him out of that horrible
thing and she DID seem protective of him like his mother should be. It was
when she carried him into a snug dwelling that all his unsureness desolved as
she sat down and began to expose her milk filled breasts. She WAS his
mother, who else would do all these things. She found him at last and now he
was safe. A sense of joy and total relief filled the infant for the first
time in days. "Keee." He managed to croak through his still very painful
throat. With happiness only infants know he familiarized himself with his
"true" mother's scent before setting upon the profered meal with zest. His
shrunken stomach though not quite full had at last a good warm meal in it.
Once they were empty he he snuggled into her large warm breasts happy he was
with his REAL mother. He then wraped his tail around her wrist in
acknowlegement she was HIS mother. Nothing was ever going to hurt or
seperate them again while she lived, of this he was certian. Soon the other
female came back to the dwelling and spoke to his mother. He heard her
address him with her sweet cooing voice. He didn't know what she was saying
only that she was likely to further see to his comfort. With all the joy in
his little heart he looked adoringly at her and smiled back at his mother
whom smiled back at him. She muttered something to herself as she rose from
her seat and took him back into the brillant light of the outside. As she
walked a distance he could "just" see many four legged creatures dancing
around her. He could smell their curiosity. But his mother would have
nothing to do with them as she growled and bared her teeth at them causing
them to back off with wimpers and whines. Once they were in another dwelling
she carefully unwound his tail and lowered him into wonderfully warm water.
This was grand as she applied a watery like liquid to his brusied person and
made soft white stuff appear as she rubbed him all over with it. What a
wonderful experience. She made sure to support him all the while. Had he
been at full strenght this would not be necessary but she seemed not to mind
his weakness. He didn't even flinch when she washed his neck. His trust in
her now complete as he gave himself up to her gentle ministrations.
********************************** Reginleif******************************
He seemed happy with the bath I gave him. Carefully I dried him off, ever
mindful of his wounds. I was surprised as it seemed the brusies were not as
sever as I first thought. I studdied them a little, processing the
information as I put on a diper from a package I had bought long ago in
anticipation of my babies birth. I then dressed him in a special outfit I
had made for my son before I found out about his anencephaly. It was a royal
blue velvet top with rich red trim and matching pants. His fluffy soft hair
was so strange, no matter how I tried it always stood strait up like a tongue
of flame. I shrugged figuring this was how his peoples hair was. When I
lifted him to me he then began to nuzzle my breasts in a manner suggesting he
was hungery again already. Since I knew nothing of his people I was not sure
if this was normal or if it was from his obvious starvation. What I did know
was that my breasts were not yet ready to give him any substantial meal so I
had to think of something else. I didn't have any other milk to offer him
yet as Kirkjbur was to milk the cow and goats when he got home. It then
occured to me that if he had a full set of teeth like he did then possibly he
could eat more substatial things. With out a second thought I went to the
frig and brought out a pound of beef franks I had planned to make for
Frigga's, Freya's, and my supper that evening. "No worries, I'll just cook
something else up." I thought to myself. I went back to my trailer where
Freya waited, sat down in my chair, and opened the package. The moment his
keen little nose picked up their smell his eyes were glued on my activities.
"Who's those for?" Freya asked curiously. "You'll see." I replied cooly.
Her eyes flew open in suprise as he ravenously ate each and every one of the
franks. Next I got a pound of beef bologna which disappeared in record time.
followed by 2 apple's, 2 banana's and half a gallon of warm whole goat's milk
that I had Freya milk for me from my most gentle doe Gebo. "Geez...the kid
can eat." Freya stated in awe. He then let out a huge belch of contentment
before he snuggled back into my breasts as his hunger was assuaged for now.
He looked at me with happy, sleepy eyes as I rocked him. I remembered a
lullabye song I heard and began to sing it to him.
Heaven's gift to me, just the way you are,
A new age child from a distant star,
It feels so good just to be so close to your love,
You are heaven's gift to me.
You are so sweet and pure, just the way you are,
Mamma's precious jewel, Daddies rising star,
There's sooo much in life for you to see and so much to be
You are heaven's gift to me.
Heaven's gift to me, just the way you are,
A new age child from a distant star,
It feels so good just to be so close to your love,
You are heaven's gift to meeeee.
He seemed pleased with the song as he was snoring lightly in my arms as I
held him. "Thank you Goddess, thank you for this son you guided to me to
love and care for." I whispered while tears of happiness escaped my eyes. I
lowered my lips to his high forehead and kissed it lightly. "Your going to
keep him aren't you?" Freya asked but I knew she already knew the answer. I
merely nodded in response. I looked up at her. "Did you find anything else
in the sphere before it blew?" I asked. "Oh yeah, I did...I found this."
She replied as she brought out what appeared to be a pure gold medallion with
a sun symbol on one side and a fierce dragon on the other. Oddly the dragon
looked very much as the Tattoo I had on the center of my breast. "Hmmmm, I
guess it could be a family crest or something." I surmised. Freya nodded
"Could be, the chain it was on was broken though." "I think he riped it off
whom ever was attacking him." She replied. I re-examined his bruises more
closely. I noted that the finger marks seemed too delicate to be a mans;
more likely a womans. A cold sick feeling swept through me as I figured that
it was likely HIS MOTHER who had done this to him. "What a sick sadistic
bitch." I thought to myself. of course Earth it self was full of demented
people mudering their own children too. I had seen enough of such heartless
cruelity up close and personal that the thought of any one hurting MY
helpless infant caused a rage to begin to build in me. I calmed myself then
I shuddered as I remebered my own experiences and held him all the more
securely. No way was I going to let ANYTHING hurt him while I still drew
breath. My thoughts were interupted by Freya. "that dragon sorta looks like
your tattoo too, did you notice?" She queried. I nodded. "Yeah strange
eh." I replied. "So what are you going to name him?" She asked. I looked up
at her, just behind her was my blood son's birth certificate yet
unregistered. I smiled as I realized what I was going to do. "I'm going to
call him Haakon." I stated. I was giving him the name I was going to call
my dead son. The name itself ment "One of the exalted race." It was a old
Norse name that was resereved for royalty. It seemed to suit him well. "You
are Haakon...MY son." I whispered to the sleeping babe. He stired at little
then wrapped his soft brown tail around my wrist before sighing and slipping
back into a deep slumber. "Yes little one, rest...Mamma is here and I won't
let ANYTHING hurt you again." I added as I gave into my fatigue at last and
drifted off for a nap of my own.
***********************************Later that day***********************
Haakon and I were abruptly awoken by the dogs and wolves howling and barking
signifiying Kirkjbur's return from town. My little son gave me a dubious
look at hearing the disturbing noises. "Don't worry my son, it's just Daddy
and your big sister Frigga home from town." I told him soothingly. I did a
double take as I realized his bruises were a lot better than just a couple of
hours ago. "Wow, I guess you heal fast little one." I stated in awe of my
adopted son's feat of rapid regeneration. I figured he could achieve this so
long as he was adequately nurished. "Come on let's go see Daddy and Frigga
shall we." I said as I rose from the chair and exited my trailer. Freya met
me just outside since she was returning from having a snack. "How do you
think Dad will take all this?" She asked me as she fell in step beside me.
"Not sure, but I think he'll like the idea." I replied frankly. When we
exited the main yard it was Frigga who was first to notice the bundle in my
arms. "Mamma you finally brought my little brother home!" She stated
triumphantly as she bounded over. Kirkjbur looked up with a very puzzled
expression. When he saw the small baby nestled in my arms he immediately
came over. "Who is this?" He asked me. I told him the whole story as well
as my intent to keep and raise this son given to me by the heaven's. I also
informed him of our new son's acute apatite as well as his ability to eat
regular foods. "Well of course we'll keep and raise him Reginleif." "It's
obvious that who ever did this isn't coming for him and he'll need a
family." "Besides we KNOW what the government would do to this poor child if
THEY got a hold of him." He replied in the end. When I handed Haakon over
to meet his "Daddy" his reaction was to sniff Kirkjbur most throughly then
nuzzled him. Aparently he accepted Kirkjbur as his Daddy. Kirkjbur was
taken a back when he first saw Haakon's tail. But like myself he accepted it
without question. "He'll be a wonderful son Reginleif." Kirkjbur stated as
he handed Haakon to Freya. Freya took that opportunity to get better
acquainted with her new baby brother while he seemed to take in her scent
too. Freya then crouched down so Frigga could meet her little brother.
"Mamma he's soooo cute, I love him." She annouced happily. He greeted
Frigga with equal happieness, also seeming to be getting familiar her scent
as well. Later when my step-son Brenden returned from the communtiy college
he too was introduced to Haakon. When told the whole story my step-son took
it with a shrug and thought it was good we were keeping him too. As he was
also looking forward to having another boy in the family. Haakon though
seemed to take exception to Brenden's oh so peculiar odor by blowing his nose
like the dogs do when they want to clear a scent from their nose. It wasn't
like Brenden stunk because he didn't bathe cause he did and often. It was
just he ate sooooo much hot sauce and pepper with his food it permeated his
skin with a unique pungent odor. "He thinks you stink, ha, ha." Said Frigga
while pointing to her big brother. Brenden just shrugged at her. He had
always been very layed back and detached, little disturbed him.
Later on Kirkjbur, I, and the rest of the family agreed to tell "non-family"
that he was the survior of a twin birth and that his brother "Bjorn" did not
live long after birth. We would register the death certificate thusly while
registering the birth certificate with Haakon's name. We had told no one yet
of the unfortunate fate of our blood child so we would omit that fact to all.
To us it was as if he HAD been born to us; and we would protect and raise him
thusly.
**********************************Haakon ********************************
His little heart gave a start as the barking and howling noises from outside
invaded his first good rest. He looked to his mother for explination. She
smiled and spoke to him in the tone that told him it was okay. He felt A LOT
better and stronger. His mother spoke to him again as she rose from the
chair and went out into the diming light of the day. She was joined by the
other woman he had seen earlier. He wanted to sniff her scent and acquaint
himself with her as he was now sure she was part of his family. They went
past the noisy four legged reception commity outside a large gated opening.
He then heard the sound of another yet older child's voice speak in loud
happy tones as she came into his view. He was stronger but could not hold up
his head quite yet. A moment later a bigger being came into view. It was
much bigger than his Mother but had her scent all over. It had hair on it's
face and had a deeper voice when it spoke. It then clicked in his infant
mind that this was a male and HE was HIS Daddy. Joyfully he greeted and
bonded with his male parent nuzzling all the while, then with his two she-
siblings. Feelings of being protected and secure grew stronger with each
introduced family member ending with his eldest sibling that smelled strongly
to his sensitive nose. He didn't care though, he was home, he was safe, and
that was all that mattered now. His mother soon was giving him his next meal
of warm milk that he eargerly suckled from her generous breasts. Followed by
a great repast of tasty meat and slightly less tasty green and orange things
as well as some warm richer milk that his mother fed him through a fake
nipple attacthed to small bottles. His tummy at last full he settled down
for another long restful sleep safe in his Mother's arms. He was barly aware
when she rose from her chair, called to his older sister, and went to the
soft sleeping area in the back of his new home. She then nestled him between
her and his sister keeping him warm and feeling very safe. Soon he was fully
asleep The nightmares of a short time ago were now pushed away. Replaced by
the happy dreams of his mother, the rest of his family, and how safe he was
now that he was with them.
******************
*Light Years Away*
******************
It had been seven days since he had been informed of his sons untimely
demise. None but his cousin Cumba and his mate Lehree knew how he still
suffered deeply from the loss. To others his deeply buried feelings seemed
to make him totally unmoved by his sons death. Even to his loveless mate he
seemed over his sons passing. But for the past seven nights he slept alone
in his private chambers. Every night he'd look into the star filled night
sending out his conciousness. None save Cumba knew just how powerful a
telepath he was. It was astounding by any standards which came with some
added "bonuses". But this time he only concentrated with all his being
trying to somehow "reach" his son's spirit. Surly there could be some spirit
connection just as he and his cousin had. It had been hours, he was about to
give up when he thought he "heard" something. He strained his mental ear to
listen his head begining to ache from the over-extension. He then "heard"
the distant sound of a woman singing. He did not understand the language but
it was beautiful, soothing, and sincere. Along with the song was the feeling
of contentment accompanied by safty. Was some sweet she-spirit lulling his
son's spirit to sleep in the other world or...WAS HE STILL ALIVE AND WAS HE
"HEARING" HIS SONS MIND? With the proposition of finding out for sure he
tried to extend his extrodinary but overtaxed gift out further still. It was
too much; the connection severed suddenly. He gasped as he slammed back into
himself followed by a bout of heavy breathing. He resolutely came to a
assumption as he caught his breath. Well if it HAD been his son he had
"heard", whether dead or alive, he was being looked after and was content.
But it was enough for him to set a small fire of hope burning strongly
inside. If his son lived he would find him, bring him home, and make
Arteesia pay for her lies and treachery.
(A/N: I hope you like the meeting of the first two shattered lives. Looks like Reginleif is gonna have her hands full with Chibi, and she'll love every minute of it too. XD
And it seems King Vegeta through his telepathic capabilities, is convinced that some how his son lives. Hmmm, wonder what ol Arteesia would do if she found out about this <:Þ>. Till next chapter, take care.)
;D
