(A/N: Greetings and welcome to this fic. It shall start out grim indeed. But I assure you all that it will lighten up in no time and this story promises to be a rather long one. There shall be lemons dispersed though out though not for perhaps the first 1/3rd of the story (maybe). Enjoy the ride.) And now... Chapter one.

Gift of Life...Shattered



I was excited, today I was going to see how my baby was doing and probably

find out it's gender. It moved very little which worried me quite a bit.

But the doctor wasn't worried so I tried not to. I nearly jumped when the

nurse had called my name. My husband Kirkjbur gave me a "calm down

Reginleif" look. I smiled back at him sheepishly. While I lay down on the

table the doctor smeared my swollen belly with warm bluish goop that would

help the ultra sound machine glide better. "Well it looks definitly like a

boy." He stated. My heart began to race, I already had my daughter Frigga

and hoped that I was having a boy. My elation was dulled when the doctor

made a negative sound. He moved the ultra sound receptor to a couple of more

angles making that sound each time. "Is something wrong?" I asked

nervously. He was silent quite a bit as he checked and rechecked. Yes,

Reginleif I'm affraid your son won't survive hours to days after birth." He

stated frankly. I felt faint and nausiated, Kirkjbur took my hand looking at

the doctor in shock. "WHY?!" I demanded my eyes still dry. The doctor

looked at me firmly. "He has Anencephaly." "It means he has no brain, only a

rudimentary brain stem. He said flatly. "???????????" I was too shocked for

words as was my husband. "It is an extreamly rare occurance 1 in a thousand;

and there are only two options." He started. "TWO options, there is only one

option." Kirkjbur insisted. I knew what he ment, late term abortion. My

heart screamed "NOOOOOOOO! HE CAN'T DIE!" While my head said "listen to the

other option." All the while tears streamed down my face. "What are the

options?" I asked though sobs. Kirkjbur was about to argue with me but I

forstalled him and gestrued for the doctor to continue. "The first option is

of course teminate the pregnacy." "The second option is to carry the fetus

to term, deliver either naturally or cesarean and donate the organs for use

by other infants who are alive but need the organs. "ABSOULUTLY NOT!" "MY

SON WILL DIE INTACT!" stated Kirkjbur insistantly. "Do you agree

Reginleif?" the doctor calmly asked me. I thought through my greif, though

the "why my baby?" and the "what did I do wrong?" senario's and focused my

thoughts. Wait didn't the doctor say OTHER babies could be saved by my son?

That means his life would mean something. That this is his purpose for

coming into being. Yes that had to be it. My unborn son's purpose was to

save the live's of other babies so their Mamma's won't lose them like I would

lose him. That also ment HE would live too since his organs would be living

in others. "I want to carry him so he can save other babies." I stated

firmly.I gave Kirkjbur the "NO COMPROMISES THIS TIME look." I was in no mood

to argue and I was determined to make my son's short life count by helping

others. The doctor sighed audibly, apperently happy with my decision. "Very

well Reginleif." "I'll have Nancy draw up the necessary paper work so all

you have to do is read it over and sign it." He replied as he got up to do

that task. I felt numb as I cleaned off the gel and dressed. Kirkjbur just

staired at me, hoping I would change my mind. But I was resolved, I would

help my son live some how and this was the only way. Though deep in saddness

I read over the paper work throughly before signing it. Nancy had told me

how very brave she felt I was for doing this. I didn't feel brave. I just

felt like it was only right to make this horrible situation into a

constructive one. I would not denigh any other child their lives if my son's

organs can help them live. It took some coaxing, but I got Kirkjbur to sign

it as well. He was too upset to argue about this any longer and accepted my

decision. With heavy hearts we went home. But at least this dark cloud of

doom had a silver lining. My son would live by helping others and that was

the thought I would cling to.

King Vegeta paced looking from time to time for any sign of the ship that had

taken his Queen and mate on a very important mission to a world where the

females were domanant. Hence why he had to send her instead of attending

himself. The ship was still not due for a couple of days yet. Still he

could not stop from checking just the same. It was not his queen for whom he

worried for however. It was his unborn son who should be born any time that

occupied his thoughts. He smiled inwardly as he thought about the imminent

birth. To his people he was the Mighty King Vegeta. A man with no emotions

to cloud his judgement. Few knew that his emotions were always in tight

control. Only when with his cousin Cumba or his mate Lehree could he let

down some of his guard and have some sort of "normal" family relationship.

He envied his cousin as he and Lehree were deeply in love, even moon bonded

so when one would die the other would perish with in seconds after. He too

had hoped to find a love of his own. Have his OWN family that he could be

around and show the warm passionate Saiyajin man he was. His thoughts of

such a family were set asside in the end. He mated the Lady Arteesia based

on her Ki power alone as this was sure to ensure a strong offspring. It was

decreed by law he had to be mated before he reached prime maturity, which was

60 years of age. There was no affection what so ever in his relationship

with his queen which dissatisfied him further. Then the hope of some sort of

family had been renewed when it was found out that she was expecting his

heir, HIS son. Some of the dream was shattered though because of his mate.

For his queen would be executed as soon as the brat was born. She had been

caught conspiring two months prior to assasinate him while using their son to

establish her place on the throne even ploting to kill the brat later should

he prove to be a nuisance. He was infuriated by her callousness and pure

vicious nature. Even for a Saiyajin she was WAY TOO ruthless. Now he had

only his son to look forward to and that would be enough. He would have

prefered to keep her close by during this last phase so he could insure his

sons safty. But this treaty had proved to be too important to ignore. He

had to send her, though he made very sure she was to be watched constantly.

He wanted nothing to happen to his precious brat. "Damn, I'd wish they'd

hurry already." He muttered irritably.


******************************
* On board the Saiyajin ship *
******************************


"Bare down queen Arteesia your son is nearly here." Encouraged the blue

skinned female doctor. "Damn why does the brat have to come now." Thought

Lady Arteesia as she bore down to expel the baby. "I still haven't found

away to save my hide this time." she fretted. "Keep calm Arteesia,

opportunity will knock just be paitent." She soothed her self. "Just one

more like that last one and he'll be out." The doctor instructed. With a

final push Arteesia heard the lusty cries of her son. The brat struggled and

kicked at the doctor as she went quickly about cutting his umbilical cord and

cleaning him off while her assitant tended to the afterbirth and clean up.

Since he was way too combative to wrap in a blanket the doctor simply placed

the naked new born prince into his mother's arms. She felt like killing the

little thing the moment he touched her. But a quick glace at the gaurd that

was to see to the princes safty was watching too close. She looked at him

with loveless eyes. He was the very image of King Vegeta save that his hair

was black like her own. Once he saw his mother he made a happy sound as the

doctor lay him on her breast. Greedly the newborn suckled at his dames

swollen breasts while he wound his tail around her wrist in recogniton of her

being HIS mother. "You fucking little leech as if you didn't suck the life

out of me already." She thought to the nursing infant. She narrowed her

eyes. She just had to kill or get rid of this brat somehow. Else her life

was forfeit. If she could some how "loose" the brat he'd have to keep her

alive till she bore him another one. He had to it was law, an old and

obscure law, but one that would still be honoured. She would then use any

method of birth control that would work on a Saiyajin to make sure she

wouldn't. Till she could find away to get what she had always wanted to

begin with. The throne and with it POWER. She sneered at the newborn after

he finished his meal when he snuggled trustingly into her warm soft breasts.

He sighing contentedly as he felt he was totally safe in his dames arms.

Inspite of her distaste she too found herself drifting off to sleep, very

tired from the whole birthing process.



********************************* Later*********************************



Hours later she awoke as the ship shook violently from an impact. "What the

hell was that?" She demanded. The guard had a surprised expression on his

face and with out thought left to find out. Moment's later he poked his head

back in. "You must get yourself and the prince to an escape pod we are under

attack." "Attacked! by whom?" She shouted. "It's the Hiryuumegamijin...you

know Darckon's." He replied before he left to join the battle. Arteesia's

cold heart warmed with elation. "What luck, I can ditch the brat, join the

fight, and blame his loss on the Darckon's." She thought with malicious

glee. All the comotion had served to awaken the slumbering babe. He yawned

hugely then began to nudge Arteesia's breast in search of a nipple to latch

onto. "Awwww is the little prince hungry?" "Well come here little one and

I'll make sure you'll never be hungry again." She purred sadisticly. The

baby prince looked adoringly into her eyes smileing at the sweet voice she

spoke to him in. His smile turned to terror as she gripped his small neck in

a vice-like grip. Confused the infant struggled little at first, then as the

need of oxygen became more necessary his Saiyajin instincts to survive kicked

in and he began to scratch, bite, and kick at his assailent. In his mind

this was NOT his mother, this was a MONSTER. In their struggle Arteesia was

not even aware that the desperate infant had torn off her queen's medalion

with the house of Vegeta's dragon symbol apon it. Soon the babies movements

ceased all together. She brought the now limp body to her ear. She heard no

sound of breathing with her sensitive Saiyajin ears. But what she did not

feel due to her shaking was his tiny heart stubbornly beating inspite of the

lack of oxygen. Satisfied he was dead she made her way to the near by

escaped pods that were stationed near the medical bay. She opened up the

hatch, set random coordinates and roughly threw the limp corpse inside. She

was unaware as she slammed the door shut and hit the launch button that the

impact of his body hitting the wall of the pod had shocked him into

breathing, filling his starved lungs and blood with needed oxygen. She was

also unaware that still clutched in his little fist was her medallion, not

that she would have cared. Fortunatly for him the life support systems

activated the moment the launch button his hit. He was still unconcious as he

sped away into the darkness of space. It was later when he woke up

terrified, hungry, and confused in the pod that threw his battered newborn

body into action. Adrenalin and fear drove him to kick and cry violently as

his terror mounted. It was then another stroke of good luck befell the

little prince as he happened to hit the button that released a thick gas

that would put him to sleep for a long time as he tumbled helplessly to an

unknown destination. Meanwhile a very satisfied Arteesia climbed into her

own escape pod. She had sustained many wounds that would corroborate her

story of how she desperatly tried to escape with the prince only to have him

killed as she defended him. It was well known that Darckon's NEVER left

debree behind so there could be no investigation. Oddly they also NEVER

attacked escape pods. Why no one knew, but she didn't care either. The brat

was dead and now she had her own chance at life. Yes, life was looking good

for her again.


******************
* Two days later *
******************


When she arrived back on the Saiyajin home world with the rest of the

survivors she gave her story of fighting for the life of her son but to no

avail. King Vegeta almost killed her on the spot had she not reminded him of

the law she had found. Grudgingly he spared her life. Devistated he went

off alone to his private quarters and sat on his bed. His son...he never got

to see his son. Now he still had a loveless mate and no offspring to care

for. A great sorrow overwhelmed the proud warrior king and for the first

time since he was six he cried. He cried bitter tears of loss, for a life

and son he seemed denied. Some where in his grief he thought that Arteesia

was truly responcible for his sons demise. But there was no proof only

Arteesia's word as no one else witnessed it. His pain was too much to think

any further. Many off worlders thought Saiyajins to be cold thoughtless

parents. Intrested only in selfishly gaining power at any cost. While it

was true for a very few it was not true for many. Many Saiyajin's like the

king himself would selflessly protect and nurture their brats to maturity.

The bond between child and parent being usually very strong. Hot tears

contiued to stream down his noble face as he looked outside to the dark

starlit night and whispered mornfully. "My s-son."



********************************
* 9 days after Arteesia's deed *
* Back on Earth *
********************************



It was April 2nd. The time came too soon for me. Fortunatly I went into

natural labour as I was not looking forward to another cesarean. Ironicly I

had no trouble giving birth. Before they whisked him away from me forever I

asked if I could say good-bye. My doctor knew me and allowed this to happen.

He looked so strange without a skull his closed eyes bludging frog-like. I

took my doomed son into my arms and put his tiny mis-shapened ear to my lips.

"Now my giving son you can go help those other babies." "Save them my son,

give them their lives." I whispered through my tears. I allowed the nurse

to take him from me while my step-daughter Freya who had helped me though the

labour comforted me. Now I was completely empty inside, but ever proud of my

giving son.


(A/N: Sad begining eh. But not to worry the story gets much better from here on out. Boy did I cry when I wrote this. Oh and I hope you don't think that King Vegeta is wimp cause guy and gals he ain't and you'll see that later. He just has strong, passionate feelings that he keeps to himself. Well see you all next chapter and as always take care till then.)
