Reunion
********* King Vegeta *********
We watched the past four days via the probe as my son participated in a
planet wide tournament. Apparently they separated the adult fighters from
the youth. Too bad, the adults would have given my son SOME opposition. As
it was he plowed though the youth division with all too great ease. He had
to use little or no strength against his opponents. He also forced himself to
go slower to make the rounds more believable to such weaklings. I was proud
of him never the less for it showed he had great restraint and control for
one so young. What a mighty warrior he would be when he matured. It would
be interesting to see how well he would do in a REAL tournament against his
own peers. At the end of it, it became obvious as to why my son had
participated in this tournament at all. The prize was currency that
apparently was much needed by his 'family' now that his foster father was
gone. Quite a responsibility for a five-year-old, very desirable trait in a
prince...I was pleased. Considering his oldest male foster sibling was
making little or no attempt to take the burden my son had. His 'brother' was
a slothful type given to gluing himself before a computer playing senseless
games rather than applying himself to his late father's trade. I knew the
wreach was capable of it, I had seen him working thusly though my son's eyes
while the old male lived. What a waste of food and space this young human
male was. I actually hoped that he'd NOT accept my offer to live on my
world. It was the fifth day of our vigil, only two days away. The boy and
his 'mother' were leaving for their present home. Gratefully they had not
the same difficulties as they had for the trip getting there. It took them a
little over 15 hours to complete their journey by air-craft plus another
three getting to their home. Both were rather exausted from the whole thing.
I had planned to contact my son and prepare for him for my arrival in by dawn
the day after. I howerver decided to let the boy rest for now, there was
still time left.
********* Reginleif *********
The past four days had been hectic ones to be sure. The first day was
getting to our hotel room and situated so we could get to where the
competition was and sign in. It was kinda strange though, we kept getting
stared at...especially Haakon. Who could blame them, this was the country of
origin for dragon ball,Z,GT, etc... and he DID look like a chibi-Vegeta.
Haakon however made it a point anytime someone made a comment about the
simularities that his name was Haakon NOT Vegeta, he was not a vegatable
(-.-¡). Good thing he didn't know where Song Bird Studio's was. He'd
threatend more than once if he ever got a hold of the GUY who made a "bad
guy" who looked ({¬.¬}and sometimes acted)like him he'd punch him one in the
nose. (¤.¤ Nooooooooo!) I passified him by telling him we didn't have time
to go look for the "guy" since we were here for a tournament. Mollified he
decided not to look for him after all(:þ whew!). Fortunately they also had't
given us much trouble to the fact that Haakon was not yet six, the usual age
requirement to enter. He handed the offical a note that Master Chuin had
personnaly wrote should this problem arise. After the offical had read the
note he smiled and allowed Haakon's entry telling us that he was delighted to
know the old master was doing well and wished us luck. On the way back to
the hotel Master Chuin had made reservations for us at, we stopped at a small
but clean restruant to feed Haakon's growling stomach. Thankfully there was
not many patrons inside. But those who were watched in wonder as Haakon
devoured bowl after bowl after bowl of food. Good thing Master Chuin knew
all about Haakon as he had given us a generous amount of money for expenses.
Even though the cost was very reasonable with Haakon's apatite the bill was
well over seventy-five USD (A/N:USD means United States dollar.{But you knew
that right!}) As we walk back to our hotel we chatted. "I like that place
Mamma, the lady said she'd like me to come eat there all the time if I
liked." He commented. (-.-¡) *Sigh*, "I wonder why." (^.^) I replied then
smiled. We stopped by a couple of anime shops along the way as well to
replace the dvd's Haakon had destroyed some time back and get a few that I
didn't have (:D). It was later when we got back to our room that Haakon went
to take a shower and found out it had cold AND HOT water too. He quickly
opted for hot bath instead since we didn't have to boil water in a cauldron
like we did at home. "Mamma could we have a bath like this so we could have
hot baths or showers any time?" He asked as he toweled himself dry.
Kirkjbur had already laid a foundation for a bath house before he died, if
(when)Haakon should win the money it wouldn't take much with his and Freya's
help to fix it up the rest of the way. It would still have a wood burning
water heater, but it would be an improvement. "I think we can finish what
daddy started, what do you think?" I replied. He looked at me with sad
eye's at the mention of Kirkjbur. Haakon still missed his daddy very deeply,
a boy needs a father. He then smiled though his sad eyes and nodded. I
smiled back as I dressed him a clean pair of shorts and t-shirt and decided
to try Televison. It wasn't too bad since I got simultanious translation
from Haakon who's command of the Japanese laguage had increased drasticly
since we arrived. We even saw a Dragon ball episode we never saw before. It
was where Vegeta got possessed by this thing called "Bebi". Didn't get to
see it all since as soon as Vegeta went "bad" again Haakon growled and turned
off the TV. "Hey!" I said loudly as I looked at him. "I don't want to see
any more Mamma, that Baka can't make up his mind if he's good or bad." He
complained. *Sigh!* "Haakon the character Vegeta went through a hellish
childhood being raised by Freeza." "Goddess knows what that tyrant did to
him as a little boy, and he just turned out the way he is because of how he
grew up." I tried to explain. He was quiet such a long time that I wondered
if he was going to say anything at all. "Daddy said that you were hurt
REALLY bad by your family when you were little and that's why your sad most
of the time." He said in a low voice. He then turned and looked up at me.
"But if you had bad things happen to you too, how come your not like
Vegeta?" He asked. I gave him a smile and tried to explain the best I
could. "Vegeta saw that the only way to destroy the one who was hurting him
was to become meaner than Freeza. Because he felt hate, anger, pain and he
felt the ability to inflict it on others was to have power." "That way no
one could hurt him again." I started to say. "For myself I can only say
that I did not want to be like those who hurt me." "I wanted to be who I
was, so I made a choice, I didn't let them change my spirit." "They could
never take that from me, no one can for I would not allow it." I finished.
He looked down as he pondered what I had just told him. I hoped I had said
it simple enough for him. "So Vegeta decided he was gonna be like Freeza
instead of being strong enough to be himself?" He asked after a while.
"Something like that, but later on he TRIES very hard to do the right
thing." "But it's very hard overcoming ones past sometimes." I answered.
"Hmph, well I know I'M NOT going to have a hard time being 'good'." He
stated as he folded his arms across his chest, slight scowl on his face. I
had to suppress a giggle at the sight. I knew he was serious about doing
"good"; but the look he gave was soooo like the character Vegeta (^.^). He
then yawned hugely which triggered me to as well. "Yeah, good idea lets go
to sleep." I said as I pulled back the covers of one of the beds that was in
the room. "Come on baby, your old enough to have a bed of your own now." I
said encouragingly. Out side of the plane ride or naps on the couch this
would be the first time Haakon would ever have a bed to himself. He hopped
up a bit hesitantly. I covered and tucked him in well. I then bent over and
kissed his forehead. "Can I sleep with you later if I want to though?" He
asked. I cocked my head at him, smiled, then nodded. He looked more relaxed
knowing he had a choice. Still smileing I went to my own bed, climbed in and
was soon fast asleep.
We both didn't wake up till my little travel alarm clock went off the next
morning. I simled as it was apparent that Haakon slept well alone in his own
bed. I was still yawing and stretching while Haakon bound out of bed all
excited about today. I called for room service and ordered enough breakfast
for the both of us. "Boy I could get use to having stuff brought to us when
ever we want." Haakon commented as the food arrived. I smiled in agreement.
It was "nice", but that wasn't our lot in life it seemed. Soon we were off
for the tournament. We were amoung some of the first to arrive. There were
a few wise cracks made towards Haakon by a few of the young boys there.
Oddly he paid them no heed. I figured he was just getting totally focused.
^Remember baby, becareful not to hurt anyone okay.^ I sent with caution in
my mental tone. He looked up at me and smiled. ^I know, and I'll go slow so
they don't know how good I REALLY am.^ He replied. I smiled back and
nodded. I took my seat as the competition began. *Sigh* It was very
enjoyable indeed to see so many well trained individuals displaying their
skills. But for my Haakon it was all too easy I'm affraid. Even though he
did keep his strength and speed in check he still had no challange at all. I
could see the disappointment in his eyes when it was time for lunch. "I
thought I'd at least have a little competition." He complained as he ate.
"Well this is just the first day, perhaps the competition will improve as the
numbers are reduced." I replied as I at my own meal. He just shrugged and
grunted in reply. We did our best to ignore the stairs Haakon was receiveing
as he ate. Exasperated he turned to the on-lookers "What! you've never seen
a kid eat?!" He growled. (Ô.Ô) Their eyes went wide before they all looked
away, startled by Haakon's outburst. "Hmph, some people are just sooo
rude." He muttered as he turned back to his meal. I just cast a glance sky
ward, taking a sudden intrest in the ceiling. The rest of the day was rather
uneventful. Haakon won all his matches and was in for the next day. Haakon
insisted we go back to that little resturant for supper. And indeed the host
and hostess were very glad to see us again. Of course they knew they were
about to get some great business. They weren't disappointed either that was
for certian, Haakon had gotten quite hungry with all the activity he had
today. Still it was cheaper than room service and the food was very good
indeed. After a nice hot bath Haakon took once we came back to our room. He
went directly to bed and well asleep long before I was.
The next day and the day after were pretty much the same for Haakon. Save
that the number of his opponents dropped. It was no surprise to the really
jazzed crowd that the wonder boy from the Arizona desert won the competition.
The Japanese officals seemed pleased at the proper way Haakon received his
trophy. Unlike the two runners up who jumped up and down smiling broadly,
Hakkon walked up in a dignified manner, bowed, got his trophy, bowed again
and exited the stage giving the crowd a casual wave to their estatic cheers.
I was beeming with joy at his accomplishment. It may have been easy for him
to win. But he also had to exercise great restraint and control during the
whole time and did it well. That is what he admitted was the challange of
the whole thing after all.
"I'm gonna miss having a hot bath or shower when ever I want it." He said as
we finished packing our bags for the trip home the next morning. "Yeah it
was nice to have a hot shower again." I agreed. "But we'll take care of
that problem won't we." I added, refering to finishing our bath house. (^.^)
He smiled at me as he knew what I ment. "YUP!" he said. We slept very well
our last night in Japan and were more than ready to go home. We were up and
ready in plenty of time for our 9 a.m. flight. The prize money had already
been electronicly deposited into our account at home so we didn't have to
worry about declairing any on our way out. Customs was a real bore and
Haakon took exception to someone other than he or I going through our stuff.
He groused the entire time making the customs officer a bit nervous. He also
was upset that the our flight back was not first class. He complained that
the food wasn't as good and his seat was inadiquate. I had to remind him
about our circumstances before and unless we were highjacked again he just
had to put up with the service given to coach passengers. He just muttered
something about terroist never being around when he needed them. (•.•¡) I
was a little upset by his attitude, but who could blame him. He had his
standards after all. And now that he had a taste of better things, he wanted
it always. I wished with all my being that I could give him this, but I was
the wrong person for the job. But I figured the right person was soon to be
here. I hadn't mentioned to Haakon or anyone that I could sense the male
entity that I was sure was Haakon's blood father, was very close. Possibly
days away, I was waiting for him to make some kind of contact with Haakon as
I now figured he would. I couldn't think of that right now though I was very
tired and had a long trip home ahead of us. Not to mention that Haakon being
so fussy was wearing me out more. By the time we reached home it was 3 in
the morning. 17 hours from when we took off; fifteen on the plane three in a
cab. Freya and Brenden had waited up and were out there to help me with the
luggage as I carried a sleeping Haakon back to the trailer. He didn't even
rouse when I undressed him and tucked him in next to Frigga who was already
deep asleep. After I told Brenden and Freya that Haakon had indeed won and
we should be okay for the next year. I then told them I was totally pooped
and needed to sleep. There would be time for telling them everything else
tomorrow.
********* Haakon *********
I liked the trip up to Japan fine and all. I also like the room that Master
Chuin had gotten us. But the competition was all just a stupid bore. The
only thing that I LEARNED was how to be more careful with my abilities. Not
one of those other kids could touch me even with me going REAL slow. Dang,
Terrence gave me a way better spar that ANY of these doh doh's. The only
good things about the trip was the food, our room, and winning the money so
we could do okay for another year. The place was pretty crowded for me, I
guess because we live in a desert and not many people live where we are. It
was pretty though, but I wouldn't want to live there. Too noisy, smelly, and
too many people. I was glad to be home now. It was nice having my own bed
when we were in Japan, but I liked our bed better. Right now Mamma was busy
doing laundry we brought home with us so I was sparring with my biggest
sister Freya. It was really cool sparring with her cause she was over 6 feet
tall and had a real long reach. I had to work to get in a kick or punch and
that was fun. Frigga was startn to want to learn how to use her ki so she
was busy doing the meditation Mamma had shown her. We kinda woke up late
today so by the time we were finished sparring and all it was getting dark.
Freya went to help Mamma with dinner while Frigga and me went to feed and
water the goats and other animals for Mamma. We did that now, it help her a
lot since Daddy was gone. She missed him a lot, so did I and all of us
...even Brenden. Though all he did is play computer games and didn't even
try to get a job so he could help Mamma too. Sometimes I think if Mamma or
any of us weren't here to make sure he'd eat or sleep...HE'D FREAKIN DIE.
Frigga left when we were done but I stayed back with my goat Thunder and
watched the stars as they appeared. I looked North for Daddy's star. Daddy
once told me his spirit came from that star, I wondered if he was there now.
I wished he was here in stead. ^Haakon, do you hear me?^ I jumped cause I
surprised by the deep voice that called my name in my head. I figured out it
was the man I felt, only now he could talk to me. ^Yes...I can 'hear' you.^
^Who are you?^ I sent back feeling a little scared. ^I am your Father, I
am coming to take you home my son.^ He said back. I could feel him being
super happy to talk to me and that he REALLY wanted me, like Mamma does. I
felt tears in my eyes, Mamma had been right. My father was looking for me
and now he found me he wanted me to go home with him. I wasn't sure I was
happy but I was surprised. ^When are you going to be here?^ I asked.
^Tomorrow just before dawn where you are.^ He told me. I could feel he was
all excited. I wasn't sure what to do, I wanted to tell Mamma that was for
sure. ^I will see you then...my son.^ He said before I felt him leave for
now. I had to go tell Mamma this, RIGHT NOW.
********* Reginleif *********
Freya and I were just finishing getting dinner ready when Haakon came in.
His eye's were red and it was obvious he had been crying. "Baby, what is
it?, are you hurt?" I asked in rapid succession as I crouched down to his
height. "No...My father told me he was coming here tomorrow at dawn." He
said quickly before wrapping his arms around my neck and holding on. I felt
my insides twist in a knot. The time had finnally arrived, I was going to
lose my son a second time. Like before it was inevitable, unavoiable, and
totally devistating. It took all my will-power not to break down in front of
him. He didn't need that now. Instead I calmed him down told him to wash up
for supper. Freya could not hold back her feelings and went to trailer to
cry. Frigga was unaware of what was going on so I figured I'd let her eat
supper first before telling her. Brenden I told as he didn't seem to care
one way or another about Haakon's leaving. He was a very hard person to move
to any type of emotion, very like his blood mother that way. Myself after I
gave Haakon and Frigga their supper I told them I was going to see how good
they took care of the goats so that I'd have an excuse to leave their
presence. Once in the goat yard my legs gave out from under me as I gave in
to my sadness. As it build inside I could feel my soul tearing, buring till
I could endure it no longer. It was like a torrit of water bursting free
from a restraining dam. I threw my head back and screamed not only with my
voice but with my soul. Thankfully my voice was too strangled by my sorrow
that none heard my cries. But I could feel the many good entities and
spirits I had spoken to in my life respond to my mental anguish. They came
to me with words and feelings of comfort. They also bolstered me with
encouragement to give me strength to endure. To my complete surprise I
received a mental caress, so strong yet...comforting as if to say all will be
well. I had never felt a sensation of the like before. I couldn't determine
where it had come from but I was gratful never the less. I was secondly
surprised when I suddenly became aware that Haakon had come into the goat
yard and was hugging me asking me to please not cry. I smiled through my
tears, I had forgotten that my little son could "hear" my mental cries as
easily as my physical. "But I have to cry little one, it's the only way I
can deal with this." "Tears are our gift from the Gods who gave it to us to
ease our inner pain. I explained to him. He seemed to understand enough
that he just sat in my lap while I rocked him and cried a bit more. It was
some time before I had the strength to get up. I hugged Haakon and thanked
him for for staying with me. I then sent him back inside the trailer with
the assurance that I was okay. I then headed for the house to do the dishes
that undoubtedly were piled up. At least I hopped they were, it would
distract me. To my surprise I found Freya already at work on them. She
looked at me with her cat green eyes all red rimmed from her tears. "Oh
Reginleif, first dad now Haakon, what are we going to do?" She cried. I
went over and embraced her. "I'm not sure Freya but I think... all will be
well."
********* King Vegeta *********
Understandibly the little female and my son woke up late the next day. I
watched as the probes feed showed he and his foster family doing regular
routines about their property. Towards the late after noon my son started
sparring with the eldest of his foster sisters. She was rather built like a
she-Saiyajin. She was the correct height, but her golden blond hair and
strange green eyes definitely was not Saiyajin. His other sister also had
the look as if she were going to be of great stature as well. It seemed she
was practicing calling on her ki. All Saiyajin's were born with the innate
ability to call on their ki's. It seemed these people had to learn how to
call on their's first before they could use it. It was the same for many
other races as well. I admired the nice fluid movements his elder sister
performed as she sparred with my son. This was a good challange for him to
learn how to fight a larger opponent, and she was a fair good fighter. I
glanced to my side to see Radtiz watching the sparring avidly as well.
Raditz it seemed had taken a great interest in this blond beauty, this could
be good... for the both of them. After some time they stopped and the boy
went with the younger of his two 'sisters' to tend to the animals they kept.
When they completed their task he did not leave when she did, opting to stay
with a grey animal he seemed attached to. I could feel sadness coming over
him. I was similar to the feeling I usually associated when he was thinking
about his foster father. He was missing him, and now I knew it was the time
to tell him he STILL had a father...his REAL father. I knew the name she had
given him so I would use it, for now. With great care and great longing I
called to him asking if he could hear me. I could feel his startled
confusion as he did not know my "voice" yet. He was quick to overcome his
confusion telling me he could hear me and asked who I was. How long I have
waited and now I could and did tell him who I was and that I was coming there
to bring him home. He seemed very suprised above all. He asked me when I'd
be there, I then told him when, my excitement over the reunion tainting my
send. His emotions were very mixed, very unsure. Mostly his feelings were
to tell his 'mother'. I was a little disappointed that he did not seem to
share my excitement but I understood how this was so overwhelming for him. I
then told him gently that I would see him then and eased away for a while to
give him time. It wasn't but 15 minutes later when everyone aboard the ship
was gripped by a tremendous anguish as we heard the agonized mental cries of
his 'mother'. I was rocked to my very core that not only could we all feel
it but it's intensity was so staggering. Her pain at the thought of
'losing' her son was immense. Though I remained open to her my crew
instictively sheilded their minds from the sudden onslaught. It was strange
but suddenly I could feel a multitiude of beings reaching out to her to
comfort her pain. To theirs I added my own hoping to reassure her that I
would not separate her from him ever, that all would be well. I could feel
her surprise and then her sincere gratitude for it. How could I seperate
them, would she let me I would not hesitate to make her my mate then we'd ALL
be together. Though I was sure of what my heart wanted, this womans heart
did not always seem sure of what it wants...or needs. I then felt her
determination grow though her tears still flowed. I was right she was a
strong one, more than worthy of being my mate and queen. Now all I had to
do was convince HER of it. Like a dream her conciousness withdrew as she
calmed. I would have spoken to her were she in a better state of mind.
Soon, VERY soon I'd be there for them all.
********* Dawn the next day *********
********* Reginleif *********
We all sat nervously on the Hof porch, oddly enough it was the 4th of July so
it was already very warm. Even the usually cool breezes that accompany the
dawn were rather warm, though mild. It was Haakon who first heard the thrum
of the engines of the shuttle as it came down completely cloaked from view.
Dust flew up in all directions as it settled on the empty property next to
our own. Sorta reminded me of the scene in Star Trek 4© when they landed the
cloaked Klingon bird of prey at Golden Gate Park. Complete with watching a
couple of poor creosote bushes getting crushed flat underneath the landing
gear. We all got up and went over to a more open area and waited. My
stomach was doing flip flops as we watched. Soon a doorway opened from
nowhere and three individuals emerged. One you could tell was definitely
Haakon's father. Except for the hair colour and facial hair Haakon looked
like a miniture version of this giant of a man. He was flanked by another a
bit taller than him self with a LONG mane of hair. As well as a small yet
just as strong looking fella with absolutely no hair. It then struck me how
much he looked like Krillan turned Saiyajin, only more muscles, a tail and a
definite nose. Given Haakon's striking resemblance to a DBZ character Mr.
Toriyama had to right on other things. Except these guys looked a hell of a
lot more menacing than any anime Saiyajin by any stretch of the imagination.
They glided the short distance, landing lightly about 10' in front of us.
He first looked at all of us, myself averting my focus to his chin avoiding
direct eye contact. Cripes, could you say "I'm intimidated". Though I knew
it was not likely his intention to do so. Haakon was just as shocked as the
rest of us when he saw the shear size of the men before us. His father
looked to him his eyes sparkling with joy and anticipation. His whole body
language bespoke of how glad he was to have found his son. He then crouched
down on one knee. "Well boy are you not going to greet your father?" He
asked softly in a strong deep voice. We were all stunned to hear the request
spoken in english. I figured some kind of universal translater or something.
Haakon looked up to me for re-assurance, I nodded for him to go forward.
Taking a deep breath he walked resolutely forward to the huge man. When he
was close enough he embraced Haakon to him close and firm. His expression of
great bliss was very plain on his face as rubbed his cheek to Haakon's. The
other two warriors looked on with passive faces. Only the soft look around
their eyes told of the joy they shared with Haakon's father. I found myself
smiling inspite of the ache in my heart. I was glad he would have better
life then ever I could give him. It was more than obvious to me that his
father was indeed a king. That truly all this time I was caring for a REAL
Saiyajin prince. Now he would have all the things a prince should have and
more. It was clear his father would love and care for him well. But for all
that I was glad and knew it was better. I still felt my world ready to
crumble the moment I'd see him leave back to the stars from which he came,
likely forever. Unstoppable tears came from my eyes, I didn't want him to
see me cry but I guess I'm just a weak weeping woman. When his father looked
up to us I averted my eyes down ward again. Holding Haakon in one of his
arms he stood up ready to speak. I cringed inwardly, now it would happen.
********* King Vegeta *********
With Raditz and Kak flanking me we exited the shuttle as soon as it we were
able to. They were already assembled as we flew the few yards distance
landing a comfortable distance away. I could see the sad look upon nearly
all of them, they knew not yet what I would offer. As I looked at them they
all fearlessly met my gaze, save the little female. It was subtle but she
averted her eyes from direct contact. A submissive move amoung my people,
and in this case most proper...interesting. She was more smaller than I
thought she'd be, no taller than a young teenaged she-brat. Next to her was
him, my son. With out heistation I crouched down so as to be less
intimdating to him. Now was the true test of Azure's latest invention, a
universal translation device. "Well boy are you not going to greet your
father?" I asked him, almost willing him to come to me. Their surprised
expressions were all the response I needed to know that the device had
worked. He looked to his 'mother' who encouraged him forward. He looked at
me, squared his shoulders and walked over to me resoulutely. Never had I
experienced such joy as I felt now. I would at last be united with MY son.
As I pulled him close I inhaled his scent caressing him with my own scent
marking and knowing my son for all time. On him was her sweet scent which
caused me to look to her. Once again she averted her eyes, but it was plain
by the tears that spilled down her lovely cheeks she was preparing for the
worst. Now I would hope for the best as I spoke to them all. "I am Vegeta,
king of the Saiyajin people." "I am truly gratful for the care you have
given my son whom you call Haakon." "You have taken him in as one of your
own blood." I started to say. Now came the hard part. "As he is bonded to
you all thus I offer all of you to come with me and live the rest of your
lives under my care and protection." "In this way none of you need to feel
the pain of seperation ever." I finished. They all looked to each other in
eyes wide in surprise. With out word the little female looked to her step-
son who shook his head no. "I'm staying right here." He stated in his weak
insipid voice. I sighed inwardly that was fine by me. She then looked to
her step-daughter whom nodded enthusiasticly. "You kidding, this is the
offer of a life time." She added. She looked to her own daughter whom was
nodding and smileing while looking hopful that her mother would accept.
"Your majesty, my daughters and myself accept your generous offer...thank
you." She said in that sweet dulcet voice as she bowed slightly to me. The
"thank you" said in a whisper as fresh tears flowed. I exhaled in releif at
her answer, now there was a chance. "YEAH WE'RE GONNA ALL GO!" cheered my
son triumphantly. I could not help but smile as I replied. "Excellent we
shall be leaving shortly after sunset." "Gather what personal items you wish
to take with you." They all nodded and quickly left to pack. I then looked
to my son who was beaming happly as he returned my look. "Thank you
Papa...thank you." He exclaimed as he pressed himself to me. "Papa is it?"
I asked raising my eyebrow. He looked at me seriously. "Well 'father' is
too stuffy and Daddy...daddy is..." He said his face turning away. I gently
took his chin and had him face me. ^I know of you 'daddy' who cared for you
as I do now.^ ^I understand, Papa is...perfect.^ I sent. His smile
returned and he pressed himself into me once again. I sighed contentedly, how
long I had waited to hold him. How long I hoped he would accept me. As I
returned his embrace I glaced towards the enclosure where she, his... mother
was packing her thing thinking to myself. "Now how to get HER to except me
as well."

Reunion
********* King Vegeta *********
We watched the past four days via the probe as my son participated in a
planet wide tournament. Apparently they separated the adult fighters from
the youth. Too bad, the adults would have given my son SOME opposition. As
it was he plowed though the youth division with all too great ease. He had
to use little or no strength against his opponents. He also forced himself to
go slower to make the rounds more believable to such weaklings. I was proud
of him never the less for it showed he had great restraint and control for
one so young. What a mighty warrior he would be when he matured. It would
be interesting to see how well he would do in a REAL tournament against his
own peers. At the end of it, it became obvious as to why my son had
participated in this tournament at all. The prize was currency that
apparently was much needed by his 'family' now that his foster father was
gone. Quite a responsibility for a five-year-old, very desirable trait in a
prince...I was pleased. Considering his oldest male foster sibling was
making little or no attempt to take the burden my son had. His 'brother' was
a slothful type given to gluing himself before a computer playing senseless
games rather than applying himself to his late father's trade. I knew the
wreach was capable of it, I had seen him working thusly though my son's eyes
while the old male lived. What a waste of food and space this young human
male was. I actually hoped that he'd NOT accept my offer to live on my
world. It was the fifth day of our vigil, only two days away. The boy and
his 'mother' were leaving for their present home. Gratefully they had not
the same difficulties as they had for the trip getting there. It took them a
little over 15 hours to complete their journey by air-craft plus another
three getting to their home. Both were rather exausted from the whole thing.
I had planned to contact my son and prepare for him for my arrival in by dawn
the day after. I howerver decided to let the boy rest for now, there was
still time left.
********* Reginleif *********
The past four days had been hectic ones to be sure. The first day was
getting to our hotel room and situated so we could get to where the
competition was and sign in. It was kinda strange though, we kept getting
stared at...especially Haakon. Who could blame them, this was the country of
origin for dragon ball,Z,GT, etc... and he DID look like a chibi-Vegeta.
Haakon however made it a point anytime someone made a comment about the
simularities that his name was Haakon NOT Vegeta, he was not a vegatable
(-.-¡). Good thing he didn't know where Song Bird Studio's was. He'd
threatend more than once if he ever got a hold of the GUY who made a "bad
guy" who looked ({¬.¬}and sometimes acted)like him he'd punch him one in the
nose. (¤.¤ Nooooooooo!) I passified him by telling him we didn't have time
to go look for the "guy" since we were here for a tournament. Mollified he
decided not to look for him after all(:þ whew!). Fortunately they also had't
given us much trouble to the fact that Haakon was not yet six, the usual age
requirement to enter. He handed the offical a note that Master Chuin had
personnaly wrote should this problem arise. After the offical had read the
note he smiled and allowed Haakon's entry telling us that he was delighted to
know the old master was doing well and wished us luck. On the way back to
the hotel Master Chuin had made reservations for us at, we stopped at a small
but clean restruant to feed Haakon's growling stomach. Thankfully there was
not many patrons inside. But those who were watched in wonder as Haakon
devoured bowl after bowl after bowl of food. Good thing Master Chuin knew
all about Haakon as he had given us a generous amount of money for expenses.
Even though the cost was very reasonable with Haakon's apatite the bill was
well over seventy-five USD (A/N:USD means United States dollar.{But you knew
that right!}) As we walk back to our hotel we chatted. "I like that place
Mamma, the lady said she'd like me to come eat there all the time if I
liked." He commented. (-.-¡) *Sigh*, "I wonder why." (^.^) I replied then
smiled. We stopped by a couple of anime shops along the way as well to
replace the dvd's Haakon had destroyed some time back and get a few that I
didn't have (:D). It was later when we got back to our room that Haakon went
to take a shower and found out it had cold AND HOT water too. He quickly
opted for hot bath instead since we didn't have to boil water in a cauldron
like we did at home. "Mamma could we have a bath like this so we could have
hot baths or showers any time?" He asked as he toweled himself dry.
Kirkjbur had already laid a foundation for a bath house before he died, if
(when)Haakon should win the money it wouldn't take much with his and Freya's
help to fix it up the rest of the way. It would still have a wood burning
water heater, but it would be an improvement. "I think we can finish what
daddy started, what do you think?" I replied. He looked at me with sad
eye's at the mention of Kirkjbur. Haakon still missed his daddy very deeply,
a boy needs a father. He then smiled though his sad eyes and nodded. I
smiled back as I dressed him a clean pair of shorts and t-shirt and decided
to try Televison. It wasn't too bad since I got simultanious translation
from Haakon who's command of the Japanese laguage had increased drasticly
since we arrived. We even saw a Dragon ball episode we never saw before. It
was where Vegeta got possessed by this thing called "Bebi". Didn't get to
see it all since as soon as Vegeta went "bad" again Haakon growled and turned
off the TV. "Hey!" I said loudly as I looked at him. "I don't want to see
any more Mamma, that Baka can't make up his mind if he's good or bad." He
complained. *Sigh!* "Haakon the character Vegeta went through a hellish
childhood being raised by Freeza." "Goddess knows what that tyrant did to
him as a little boy, and he just turned out the way he is because of how he
grew up." I tried to explain. He was quiet such a long time that I wondered
if he was going to say anything at all. "Daddy said that you were hurt
REALLY bad by your family when you were little and that's why your sad most
of the time." He said in a low voice. He then turned and looked up at me.
"But if you had bad things happen to you too, how come your not like
Vegeta?" He asked. I gave him a smile and tried to explain the best I
could. "Vegeta saw that the only way to destroy the one who was hurting him
was to become meaner than Freeza. Because he felt hate, anger, pain and he
felt the ability to inflict it on others was to have power." "That way no
one could hurt him again." I started to say. "For myself I can only say
that I did not want to be like those who hurt me." "I wanted to be who I
was, so I made a choice, I didn't let them change my spirit." "They could
never take that from me, no one can for I would not allow it." I finished.
He looked down as he pondered what I had just told him. I hoped I had said
it simple enough for him. "So Vegeta decided he was gonna be like Freeza
instead of being strong enough to be himself?" He asked after a while.
"Something like that, but later on he TRIES very hard to do the right
thing." "But it's very hard overcoming ones past sometimes." I answered.
"Hmph, well I know I'M NOT going to have a hard time being 'good'." He
stated as he folded his arms across his chest, slight scowl on his face. I
had to suppress a giggle at the sight. I knew he was serious about doing
"good"; but the look he gave was soooo like the character Vegeta (^.^). He
then yawned hugely which triggered me to as well. "Yeah, good idea lets go
to sleep." I said as I pulled back the covers of one of the beds that was in
the room. "Come on baby, your old enough to have a bed of your own now." I
said encouragingly. Out side of the plane ride or naps on the couch this
would be the first time Haakon would ever have a bed to himself. He hopped
up a bit hesitantly. I covered and tucked him in well. I then bent over and
kissed his forehead. "Can I sleep with you later if I want to though?" He
asked. I cocked my head at him, smiled, then nodded. He looked more relaxed
knowing he had a choice. Still smileing I went to my own bed, climbed in and
was soon fast asleep.
We both didn't wake up till my little travel alarm clock went off the next
morning. I simled as it was apparent that Haakon slept well alone in his own
bed. I was still yawing and stretching while Haakon bound out of bed all
excited about today. I called for room service and ordered enough breakfast
for the both of us. "Boy I could get use to having stuff brought to us when
ever we want." Haakon commented as the food arrived. I smiled in agreement.
It was "nice", but that wasn't our lot in life it seemed. Soon we were off
for the tournament. We were amoung some of the first to arrive. There were
a few wise cracks made towards Haakon by a few of the young boys there.
Oddly he paid them no heed. I figured he was just getting totally focused.
^Remember baby, becareful not to hurt anyone okay.^ I sent with caution in
my mental tone. He looked up at me and smiled. ^I know, and I'll go slow so
they don't know how good I REALLY am.^ He replied. I smiled back and
nodded. I took my seat as the competition began. *Sigh* It was very
enjoyable indeed to see so many well trained individuals displaying their
skills. But for my Haakon it was all too easy I'm affraid. Even though he
did keep his strength and speed in check he still had no challange at all. I
could see the disappointment in his eyes when it was time for lunch. "I
thought I'd at least have a little competition." He complained as he ate.
"Well this is just the first day, perhaps the competition will improve as the
numbers are reduced." I replied as I at my own meal. He just shrugged and
grunted in reply. We did our best to ignore the stairs Haakon was receiveing
as he ate. Exasperated he turned to the on-lookers "What! you've never seen
a kid eat?!" He growled. (Ô.Ô) Their eyes went wide before they all looked
away, startled by Haakon's outburst. "Hmph, some people are just sooo
rude." He muttered as he turned back to his meal. I just cast a glance sky
ward, taking a sudden intrest in the ceiling. The rest of the day was rather
uneventful. Haakon won all his matches and was in for the next day. Haakon
insisted we go back to that little resturant for supper. And indeed the host
and hostess were very glad to see us again. Of course they knew they were
about to get some great business. They weren't disappointed either that was
for certian, Haakon had gotten quite hungry with all the activity he had
today. Still it was cheaper than room service and the food was very good
indeed. After a nice hot bath Haakon took once we came back to our room. He
went directly to bed and well asleep long before I was.
The next day and the day after were pretty much the same for Haakon. Save
that the number of his opponents dropped. It was no surprise to the really
jazzed crowd that the wonder boy from the Arizona desert won the competition.
The Japanese officals seemed pleased at the proper way Haakon received his
trophy. Unlike the two runners up who jumped up and down smiling broadly,
Hakkon walked up in a dignified manner, bowed, got his trophy, bowed again
and exited the stage giving the crowd a casual wave to their estatic cheers.
I was beeming with joy at his accomplishment. It may have been easy for him
to win. But he also had to exercise great restraint and control during the
whole time and did it well. That is what he admitted was the challange of
the whole thing after all.
"I'm gonna miss having a hot bath or shower when ever I want it." He said as
we finished packing our bags for the trip home the next morning. "Yeah it
was nice to have a hot shower again." I agreed. "But we'll take care of
that problem won't we." I added, refering to finishing our bath house. (^.^)
He smiled at me as he knew what I ment. "YUP!" he said. We slept very well
our last night in Japan and were more than ready to go home. We were up and
ready in plenty of time for our 9 a.m. flight. The prize money had already
been electronicly deposited into our account at home so we didn't have to
worry about declairing any on our way out. Customs was a real bore and
Haakon took exception to someone other than he or I going through our stuff.
He groused the entire time making the customs officer a bit nervous. He also
was upset that the our flight back was not first class. He complained that
the food wasn't as good and his seat was inadiquate. I had to remind him
about our circumstances before and unless we were highjacked again he just
had to put up with the service given to coach passengers. He just muttered
something about terroist never being around when he needed them. (•.•¡) I
was a little upset by his attitude, but who could blame him. He had his
standards after all. And now that he had a taste of better things, he wanted
it always. I wished with all my being that I could give him this, but I was
the wrong person for the job. But I figured the right person was soon to be
here. I hadn't mentioned to Haakon or anyone that I could sense the male
entity that I was sure was Haakon's blood father, was very close. Possibly
days away, I was waiting for him to make some kind of contact with Haakon as
I now figured he would. I couldn't think of that right now though I was very
tired and had a long trip home ahead of us. Not to mention that Haakon being
so fussy was wearing me out more. By the time we reached home it was 3 in
the morning. 17 hours from when we took off; fifteen on the plane three in a
cab. Freya and Brenden had waited up and were out there to help me with the
luggage as I carried a sleeping Haakon back to the trailer. He didn't even
rouse when I undressed him and tucked him in next to Frigga who was already
deep asleep. After I told Brenden and Freya that Haakon had indeed won and
we should be okay for the next year. I then told them I was totally pooped
and needed to sleep. There would be time for telling them everything else
tomorrow.
********* Haakon *********
I liked the trip up to Japan fine and all. I also like the room that Master
Chuin had gotten us. But the competition was all just a stupid bore. The
only thing that I LEARNED was how to be more careful with my abilities. Not
one of those other kids could touch me even with me going REAL slow. Dang,
Terrence gave me a way better spar that ANY of these doh doh's. The only
good things about the trip was the food, our room, and winning the money so
we could do okay for another year. The place was pretty crowded for me, I
guess because we live in a desert and not many people live where we are. It
was pretty though, but I wouldn't want to live there. Too noisy, smelly, and
too many people. I was glad to be home now. It was nice having my own bed
when we were in Japan, but I liked our bed better. Right now Mamma was busy
doing laundry we brought home with us so I was sparring with my biggest
sister Freya. It was really cool sparring with her cause she was over 6 feet
tall and had a real long reach. I had to work to get in a kick or punch and
that was fun. Frigga was startn to want to learn how to use her ki so she
was busy doing the meditation Mamma had shown her. We kinda woke up late
today so by the time we were finished sparring and all it was getting dark.
Freya went to help Mamma with dinner while Frigga and me went to feed and
water the goats and other animals for Mamma. We did that now, it help her a
lot since Daddy was gone. She missed him a lot, so did I and all of us
...even Brenden. Though all he did is play computer games and didn't even
try to get a job so he could help Mamma too. Sometimes I think if Mamma or
any of us weren't here to make sure he'd eat or sleep...HE'D FREAKIN DIE.
Frigga left when we were done but I stayed back with my goat Thunder and
watched the stars as they appeared. I looked North for Daddy's star. Daddy
once told me his spirit came from that star, I wondered if he was there now.
I wished he was here in stead. ^Haakon, do you hear me?^ I jumped cause I
surprised by the deep voice that called my name in my head. I figured out it
was the man I felt, only now he could talk to me. ^Yes...I can 'hear' you.^
^Who are you?^ I sent back feeling a little scared. ^I am your Father, I
am coming to take you home my son.^ He said back. I could feel him being
super happy to talk to me and that he REALLY wanted me, like Mamma does. I
felt tears in my eyes, Mamma had been right. My father was looking for me
and now he found me he wanted me to go home with him. I wasn't sure I was
happy but I was surprised. ^When are you going to be here?^ I asked.
^Tomorrow just before dawn where you are.^ He told me. I could feel he was
all excited. I wasn't sure what to do, I wanted to tell Mamma that was for
sure. ^I will see you then...my son.^ He said before I felt him leave for
now. I had to go tell Mamma this, RIGHT NOW.
********* Reginleif *********
Freya and I were just finishing getting dinner ready when Haakon came in.
His eye's were red and it was obvious he had been crying. "Baby, what is
it?, are you hurt?" I asked in rapid succession as I crouched down to his
height. "No...My father told me he was coming here tomorrow at dawn." He
said quickly before wrapping his arms around my neck and holding on. I felt
my insides twist in a knot. The time had finnally arrived, I was going to
lose my son a second time. Like before it was inevitable, unavoiable, and
totally devistating. It took all my will-power not to break down in front of
him. He didn't need that now. Instead I calmed him down told him to wash up
for supper. Freya could not hold back her feelings and went to trailer to
cry. Frigga was unaware of what was going on so I figured I'd let her eat
supper first before telling her. Brenden I told as he didn't seem to care
one way or another about Haakon's leaving. He was a very hard person to move
to any type of emotion, very like his blood mother that way. Myself after I
gave Haakon and Frigga their supper I told them I was going to see how good
they took care of the goats so that I'd have an excuse to leave their
presence. Once in the goat yard my legs gave out from under me as I gave in
to my sadness. As it build inside I could feel my soul tearing, buring till
I could endure it no longer. It was like a torrit of water bursting free
from a restraining dam. I threw my head back and screamed not only with my
voice but with my soul. Thankfully my voice was too strangled by my sorrow
that none heard my cries. But I could feel the many good entities and
spirits I had spoken to in my life respond to my mental anguish. They came
to me with words and feelings of comfort. They also bolstered me with
encouragement to give me strength to endure. To my complete surprise I
received a mental caress, so strong yet...comforting as if to say all will be
well. I had never felt a sensation of the like before. I couldn't determine
where it had come from but I was gratful never the less. I was secondly
surprised when I suddenly became aware that Haakon had come into the goat
yard and was hugging me asking me to please not cry. I smiled through my
tears, I had forgotten that my little son could "hear" my mental cries as
easily as my physical. "But I have to cry little one, it's the only way I
can deal with this." "Tears are our gift from the Gods who gave it to us to
ease our inner pain. I explained to him. He seemed to understand enough
that he just sat in my lap while I rocked him and cried a bit more. It was
some time before I had the strength to get up. I hugged Haakon and thanked
him for for staying with me. I then sent him back inside the trailer with
the assurance that I was okay. I then headed for the house to do the dishes
that undoubtedly were piled up. At least I hopped they were, it would
distract me. To my surprise I found Freya already at work on them. She
looked at me with her cat green eyes all red rimmed from her tears. "Oh
Reginleif, first dad now Haakon, what are we going to do?" She cried. I
went over and embraced her. "I'm not sure Freya but I think... all will be
well."
********* King Vegeta *********
Understandibly the little female and my son woke up late the next day. I
watched as the probes feed showed he and his foster family doing regular
routines about their property. Towards the late after noon my son started
sparring with the eldest of his foster sisters. She was rather built like a
she-Saiyajin. She was the correct height, but her golden blond hair and
strange green eyes definitely was not Saiyajin. His other sister also had
the look as if she were going to be of great stature as well. It seemed she
was practicing calling on her ki. All Saiyajin's were born with the innate
ability to call on their ki's. It seemed these people had to learn how to
call on their's first before they could use it. It was the same for many
other races as well. I admired the nice fluid movements his elder sister
performed as she sparred with my son. This was a good challange for him to
learn how to fight a larger opponent, and she was a fair good fighter. I
glanced to my side to see Radtiz watching the sparring avidly as well.
Raditz it seemed had taken a great interest in this blond beauty, this could
be good... for the both of them. After some time they stopped and the boy
went with the younger of his two 'sisters' to tend to the animals they kept.
When they completed their task he did not leave when she did, opting to stay
with a grey animal he seemed attached to. I could feel sadness coming over
him. I was similar to the feeling I usually associated when he was thinking
about his foster father. He was missing him, and now I knew it was the time
to tell him he STILL had a father...his REAL father. I knew the name she had
given him so I would use it, for now. With great care and great longing I
called to him asking if he could hear me. I could feel his startled
confusion as he did not know my "voice" yet. He was quick to overcome his
confusion telling me he could hear me and asked who I was. How long I have
waited and now I could and did tell him who I was and that I was coming there
to bring him home. He seemed very suprised above all. He asked me when I'd
be there, I then told him when, my excitement over the reunion tainting my
send. His emotions were very mixed, very unsure. Mostly his feelings were
to tell his 'mother'. I was a little disappointed that he did not seem to
share my excitement but I understood how this was so overwhelming for him. I
then told him gently that I would see him then and eased away for a while to
give him time. It wasn't but 15 minutes later when everyone aboard the ship
was gripped by a tremendous anguish as we heard the agonized mental cries of
his 'mother'. I was rocked to my very core that not only could we all feel
it but it's intensity was so staggering. Her pain at the thought of
'losing' her son was immense. Though I remained open to her my crew
instictively sheilded their minds from the sudden onslaught. It was strange
but suddenly I could feel a multitiude of beings reaching out to her to
comfort her pain. To theirs I added my own hoping to reassure her that I
would not separate her from him ever, that all would be well. I could feel
her surprise and then her sincere gratitude for it. How could I seperate
them, would she let me I would not hesitate to make her my mate then we'd ALL
be together. Though I was sure of what my heart wanted, this womans heart
did not always seem sure of what it wants...or needs. I then felt her
determination grow though her tears still flowed. I was right she was a
strong one, more than worthy of being my mate and queen. Now all I had to
do was convince HER of it. Like a dream her conciousness withdrew as she
calmed. I would have spoken to her were she in a better state of mind.
Soon, VERY soon I'd be there for them all.
********* Dawn the next day *********
********* Reginleif *********
We all sat nervously on the Hof porch, oddly enough it was the 4th of July so
it was already very warm. Even the usually cool breezes that accompany the
dawn were rather warm, though mild. It was Haakon who first heard the thrum
of the engines of the shuttle as it came down completely cloaked from view.
Dust flew up in all directions as it settled on the empty property next to
our own. Sorta reminded me of the scene in Star Trek 4© when they landed the
cloaked Klingon bird of prey at Golden Gate Park. Complete with watching a
couple of poor creosote bushes getting crushed flat underneath the landing
gear. We all got up and went over to a more open area and waited. My
stomach was doing flip flops as we watched. Soon a doorway opened from
nowhere and three individuals emerged. One you could tell was definitely
Haakon's father. Except for the hair colour and facial hair Haakon looked
like a miniture version of this giant of a man. He was flanked by another a
bit taller than him self with a LONG mane of hair. As well as a small yet
just as strong looking fella with absolutely no hair. It then struck me how
much he looked like Krillan turned Saiyajin, only more muscles, a tail and a
definite nose. Given Haakon's striking resemblance to a DBZ character Mr.
Toriyama had to right on other things. Except these guys looked a hell of a
lot more menacing than any anime Saiyajin by any stretch of the imagination.
They glided the short distance, landing lightly about 10' in front of us.
He first looked at all of us, myself averting my focus to his chin avoiding
direct eye contact. Cripes, could you say "I'm intimidated". Though I knew
it was not likely his intention to do so. Haakon was just as shocked as the
rest of us when he saw the shear size of the men before us. His father
looked to him his eyes sparkling with joy and anticipation. His whole body
language bespoke of how glad he was to have found his son. He then crouched
down on one knee. "Well boy are you not going to greet your father?" He
asked softly in a strong deep voice. We were all stunned to hear the request
spoken in english. I figured some kind of universal translater or something.
Haakon looked up to me for re-assurance, I nodded for him to go forward.
Taking a deep breath he walked resolutely forward to the huge man. When he
was close enough he embraced Haakon to him close and firm. His expression of
great bliss was very plain on his face as rubbed his cheek to Haakon's. The
other two warriors looked on with passive faces. Only the soft look around
their eyes told of the joy they shared with Haakon's father. I found myself
smiling inspite of the ache in my heart. I was glad he would have better
life then ever I could give him. It was more than obvious to me that his
father was indeed a king. That truly all this time I was caring for a REAL
Saiyajin prince. Now he would have all the things a prince should have and
more. It was clear his father would love and care for him well. But for all
that I was glad and knew it was better. I still felt my world ready to
crumble the moment I'd see him leave back to the stars from which he came,
likely forever. Unstoppable tears came from my eyes, I didn't want him to
see me cry but I guess I'm just a weak weeping woman. When his father looked
up to us I averted my eyes down ward again. Holding Haakon in one of his
arms he stood up ready to speak. I cringed inwardly, now it would happen.
********* King Vegeta *********
With Raditz and Kak flanking me we exited the shuttle as soon as it we were
able to. They were already assembled as we flew the few yards distance
landing a comfortable distance away. I could see the sad look upon nearly
all of them, they knew not yet what I would offer. As I looked at them they
all fearlessly met my gaze, save the little female. It was subtle but she
averted her eyes from direct contact. A submissive move amoung my people,
and in this case most proper...interesting. She was more smaller than I
thought she'd be, no taller than a young teenaged she-brat. Next to her was
him, my son. With out heistation I crouched down so as to be less
intimdating to him. Now was the true test of Azure's latest invention, a
universal translation device. "Well boy are you not going to greet your
father?" I asked him, almost willing him to come to me. Their surprised
expressions were all the response I needed to know that the device had
worked. He looked to his 'mother' who encouraged him forward. He looked at
me, squared his shoulders and walked over to me resoulutely. Never had I
experienced such joy as I felt now. I would at last be united with MY son.
As I pulled him close I inhaled his scent caressing him with my own scent
marking and knowing my son for all time. On him was her sweet scent which
caused me to look to her. Once again she averted her eyes, but it was plain
by the tears that spilled down her lovely cheeks she was preparing for the
worst. Now I would hope for the best as I spoke to them all. "I am Vegeta,
king of the Saiyajin people." "I am truly gratful for the care you have
given my son whom you call Haakon." "You have taken him in as one of your
own blood." I started to say. Now came the hard part. "As he is bonded to
you all thus I offer all of you to come with me and live the rest of your
lives under my care and protection." "In this way none of you need to feel
the pain of seperation ever." I finished. They all looked to each other in
eyes wide in surprise. With out word the little female looked to her step-
son who shook his head no. "I'm staying right here." He stated in his weak
insipid voice. I sighed inwardly that was fine by me. She then looked to
her step-daughter whom nodded enthusiasticly. "You kidding, this is the
offer of a life time." She added. She looked to her own daughter whom was
nodding and smileing while looking hopful that her mother would accept.
"Your majesty, my daughters and myself accept your generous offer...thank
you." She said in that sweet dulcet voice as she bowed slightly to me. The
"thank you" said in a whisper as fresh tears flowed. I exhaled in releif at
her answer, now there was a chance. "YEAH WE'RE GONNA ALL GO!" cheered my
son triumphantly. I could not help but smile as I replied. "Excellent we
shall be leaving shortly after sunset." "Gather what personal items you wish
to take with you." They all nodded and quickly left to pack. I then looked
to my son who was beaming happly as he returned my look. "Thank you
Papa...thank you." He exclaimed as he pressed himself to me. "Papa is it?"
I asked raising my eyebrow. He looked at me seriously. "Well 'father' is
too stuffy and Daddy...daddy is..." He said his face turning away. I gently
took his chin and had him face me. ^I know of you 'daddy' who cared for you
as I do now.^ ^I understand, Papa is...perfect.^ I sent. His smile
returned and he pressed himself into me once again. I sighed contentedly, how
long I had waited to hold him. How long I hoped he would accept me. As I
returned his embrace I glaced towards the enclosure where she, his... mother
was packing her thing thinking to myself. "Now how to get HER to except me
as well."
