I do not own Dragonballz or any of the characters. I am just a crazy fan of DBZ who loves writing stories of the characters. This story is rated Gfor no sexual stuff or cussingnow, please enjoy my Raditz and new born Vegeta fic!

King Vegeta stormed out of his quarters. Raging with extreme agony of hearing his new born saiyan prince. Wailing out to the unforgiving world. King Vegeta had endured his sons cries for nearly three entire weeks. His patience running thin.

Captain Zorn, find me someone, any one who can hush this brat of mine. King Vegeta roared out, his ears throbbing and pointing to the direction of his offsprings cries.

With a quick salute and the nod of the head, Zorn was out of King Vegetas quarters and frantically searching through the streets and the palace for someone, any one to hush the saiyan prince.

King Vegeta closed his eyes. Trying his best to have patience. Walking up to his throne, he sat down rubbing his pointer finger and his thumb on his temple, he sighed. Even the silence of baby Vegetas slumber didnt stop King Vegetas torture. He heard his brats cries within his troubled mind.

* * * *

Captain Zorn ran through the streets searching. He wanted to find someone that would seem suitable for easing a childs criesbut his mission seemed dim. Smoke, air pollution, and the stench of death sailed the air surrounding Captain Zorn and many other saiyan soldiers. The deep red night sky shown brightly with the surrounding planets reflecting light. Giving the night sky a hint of color, other than blood red.

Zorn eventually rounded up about twelve saiyans, male and female alike. They were all taken to the palace and all of them done their best to help quiet the baby. They were also watched by twenty of King Vegetas best guards men and also King Vegeta himself.

They tried playing with him feeding him, bouncing him, and flashing their tails about, trying to get him curious. (They were brought in there separately and they all done the same thing)

All of their attempts failed and baby Vegeta continued wail out to the world. Even King Vegeta himself tried his luck, but only once. And he too, failed to hush his only son. Which made him feel like a unworthy father, unable to hush you only baby.
Nappa was as well, one of the victims of failure. Nappa tried the Peek-a-boo trick, which was a complete flop.
Peace and silence seemed hopeless. Everyone was miserable, and all suffered from either King Vegetas wrath or from their ears ringing from the sound of a crying baby. They were slowly becoming insane.

Two *miserable* weeks Later

King Vegeta sat in his bed, completely covered in sheets and blankets to cover his nudity. Grasping his hair and squinting his eyes. He to thought he was going insane.

Will that darn kid of mine ever shut up!!!? He screamed in his mind.
Curling his lips, he was on the verge of sending his brat out to space to suffocate and endure a long and brutal death. His emotions boiling over, he just wanted to clasp his iron hard hands against anything living and kill it. He was so tired of hearing his son wail, not to mention his skull cracking migraine. Instead he attacked an unfortunate pillow, squeezing it and ripping it to shreds. Thousands of white feathers floated lazily in the air and a few landed in his spiky, erect hair. Giving him a somewhat comical appearance. But killing that pillow didnt help

From the stress of being the King of an entire planet, to managing his saiyan soldiers, to surviving his offsprings cries, he lost control and roared out his own cries out to the unforgiving world roaring out as loud as he could, he felt his lungs begin to burn but he continued to roar.

Suddenly, while King Vegeta roared out his bottled up cries away, his loyal Captain Zorn burst through the Kings door. The sudden appearance of Captain Zorn silenced the proud king. Captain Zorn stood in a vicious fighting stance growling angrily, ready to kill anyone who dared to mess with his (some what) friend and king.
Captain Zorn blinked, very confused. He looked around. His king was alone, no one was threatening him, no assassins, no masked knife wielding intruders, just him.
Captain Zorn stomped up.
My king, what is wrong!? I thought you were in danger! Tell me why you screamed!
I DEMAND AN ANSWER!! Captain Zorn stared into his kings eyes and realized his big mistake as well as noticing the feathers on his kings head.
He dropped down to his knees shuttering in fear for his miserable life. He begged.
Oh, m-my King, a thousand apologies! P-Please dont kill me! I feared you were in trouble, please dont kill me, I-I didnt mean to demand an answer from you. He shuttered in his boots, but waited for the death blow.
He continued to wait, finally, a minute passed. He slowly opened his eyes, very, very, confused.
Arise, Captain Zorn!

*Huhh-he is continuing to call me Captain, but why, I angered him!?*

Zorn stood up, but kept his eyes low to the floor, but he listened.
You WILL find a saiyan that will hush my brat, Today! Today at midnight My son had better be quiet, and stay quiet, I dont care if hes laughing, or sleeping. I just want him quiet! If not, you and the saiyans you drag into this will all die! Do I make myself clear Captain Zorn!? King Vegeta finished his demanding speech and picked the feathers out of his hair.

Captain Zorn nodded his head. I understand my king.

Good, now go! After Captain Zorn fled from King Vegeta, the stressed king attacked yet another pillow, ripping it to shreds with his hands and his teeth.

Captain Zorn ran out of the palace and again ran through the streets, he ran (and flew) to houses, farms, and any other place he could go to. Gathering anybody, he didnt care if they seemed suitable or not. He had to save his hide. Gathering dozens of saiyans bringing them to the palace, watching them all fail. This endless circle happened over, and over through out the entire day. He was growing depressed, and grumpy.

Ten minutes till midnight

Captain Zorn exhaustedly walked out of baby Vegetas quarters. Even he, Captain Zorn tried his luckhe was unlucky. Thirsty, and tired, he started walking towards the cafeteria, it all seemed hopeless. He was King Vegeta chow. That is until a familiar face greeted him.

Hey, Captain Zorn, care if I try? Raditz hiked his thumb towards himself.
Uhhh, sure! But I doubt youof all people would be able to shut that kid up! Youd probably scare him half to death than make him quiet.
Raditz shook his head.
Tisk, Tisk, ye of little faith!

Captain Zorn eying Raditz pitifully. All of my faith have been used up

Taking hold of the door knob, Raditz began to open the door. But to be abruptly stopped by a weary hand.

Im coming with you! Captain Zorn spoke sternly.
No! You stay here and keep watch. That is unless you want me to leave and you deal with the guilt of killing all of those innocent saiyans that you drug into all of this!

Captain Zorns eyes grew wide with surprise. How did you know that!!?
Raditz crossed his arms and smirked meekly. Lets just say I have connections!
Captain Zorn weighed out his risksthey seemed pretty even to him.

Alright Raditz, fine, go and hush that kid, butPLEAES DONT FAIL!!
Raditzs only reply to Captain Zorns begging was a slam of baby Vegetas door.

* * * *

Entering the room where baby Vegeta was in. It was dark and cold.
*No wonder baby Vegeta cries, I would to!*
Sliding his hands against the wall he found a light switch and turned it on. Revealing a nude baby Vegeta, with only his young tail to cover him. Vegetas cries were indeed LOUD and annoyingbut who could blame him! He was just a baby, a baby prince, and they treated him this poorlyhe felt sorry for the little tyrant. Raditz slowly peered up to the baby crib, eyeing his new born prince. Tapping his little pudgy arm, he grasped baby Vegetas attention. The prince momentarily quiet down. Who seemed to innocently stare at Raditz in awe. Hed never seen so much hair. Raditz smiled happily.
Suddenly the baby began to cry again, screaming twice as loud as he did before. Raditzs ears were growing sore.
No, no, no! Hush! Raditz freaked, tightening his tail against his waist.

Raditz laid his enormous hand on Vegetas round belly. His skin was so very soft! But very cold. His finger tips, toes, even his nose, were like ice, even his small tail was cold.
He took his hands off the baby, and removed his torso armor with a well practiced tug and a pull. It was off in seconds, gently laying it down to aside trying not to startle baby Vegeta.

Picking up the nude baby, he rested him snugly against his warm chest. Baby Vegeta quietened down slowly, cooing and looking into Raditzs eyes. Vegeta giggle at the sight of that mass of hair and this wonderful new found warmth. Kicking his feet and stretching his arms out to touch Raditzs hair. Raditz understood what his prince wanted, and was happy to please him. Raditz grasped his hair at the end covering him in a blanket of his long, thick, spiky, soft, stuff. Raditz raised his left hand and patted Vegeta, comforting him. In return, baby Vegeta nuzzled closer to him. Quietly moaning, and sucking his small, short thumb.

Sitting down Raditz rocked back and forth, and sang a quiet lullaby that his mother sang to him when he was a new born. Baby Vegeta continued to suck his tiny thumb.


Hush little cub, dont you cry,
Papas gonna help you fly.
Help you hunt, and fight with might,
Make you invisible through the night.
Youre my little saiyan cub!

Hush little cub, dont you cry,
Tail twining in the sky.
Hair blowing through the wind,
Get in a fight, you will win.
Youre my little saiyan cub!

Raditz sang this three times over. Raditz regrettably missed his mother, which died, giving birth to his own brother, Kakarot. Right before she gave birth to him, they both got into an argument involving territory and fighting privileges. He deeply regretted not apologizing before she gave birth.

The young saiyan prince was fast asleep. Flicking his tiny, short appendage on Raditzs shoulder, slightly tickling him.

Without any warning at all King Vegeta stormed in staring at Raditz.
(Luckily for Raditz, baby Vegeta was a heavy sleeper)

Why isnt my offspring being guarded!? King Vegeta roared.

Raditz stood up, a bit shaky, but firmly held to his prince.

I am guarding him, my king. Your son was nude and cold. He had no covers and no guards in here when I entered either. Ive managed to settle him down, and guide him to sleep. Your prince is in no harm, just sleeping in my arms. Raditz bowed his head.

Why is your armor removed?

To keep him warm, babies tend to calm down if they feel flesh, not armor. Raditz held his composure.

Show me my son.

Raditz obeyed, and came close his king, slightly removing his hair from baby
Vegetas body. Showing King Vegeta all is well. Baby Vegeta grunted lightly in protest to the cold.

Would you like to hold him Sire? Raditz asked, showing King Vegeta more of baby Vegetas innocent relaxed slumbering face.

No! He stormed outto proud to hold his son. Even though he wanted to, he couldnt do it.

Raditz sighed, shaking his head disappointed in the kings action.

Raditz was allowed to care for Baby Vegeta and to be the closest image of a father to him. Vegeta grew into a *yet a small* but very powerful warrior. Raditz and Vegeta grew to have a very strong relationship with each other. They were very good friends, and Raditz happily guided him through life with serving Frieza. Raditz was always there for Vegetathat isuntil one dreadful day. Raditz was sent to planet earth to retrieve his strong brother Kakarot. Unfortunately, he was destroyed, by his very own brother and a Namekian.

Many, many, years later

Vegeta met a blue haired beauty on planet Namek. Joined forces with the murderer of his very good friend, Raditz and eventually, spawned a son.
Hearing his delicate son, Trunks cry to the unforgiving world, he sang a lullaby that his friend sang to him:

Hush little cub, dont you cry
The End

This story is dedicated to the remembrance of our evil hero, Raditz. Whom, I shall never forget.
