Disclaimer: I'm not making any money off of this fic nor do I own DBZ.

Trunks, Goten, and Bulma all rushed into the sitting room when they heard Homini scream. When they got there, they saw the girl laying on her back, eyes wide, holding her breath, staring at a black ball of fur on her chest. Bulma shook her head remembering her mate's odd reactions to Earth animals.

Trunks, however, was not so understanding, "Why are you screaming?"

"There's an animal in here," she explained frantically. "And it's on me! Does it bite?"

Bulma chuckled and walked over to the couch. She gently picked up the offending fur ball. "It's just my dad's cat. It's a pet; it won't hurt you."

Homini looked at the little thing warily. It left out a soft mew and looked back at her. She watched Bulma run a hand over its fur and she did the same. With both women petting it, the cat let out a contented purr.

Homini looked up, surprised, "Cat's purr?"

"Of course they do," Trunks scoffed.

Bulma choose that moment to interrupt before the two argued, "She's just a little surprised because Saiyans purr, too."

"Do not," Trunks argued like a child.

"Yes, they do." Bulma corrected. "Your father does…"

"That was too much information," Goten complained making a disgusted face.

The pale haired prince glared at his mother, his best friend, and his father's pureblood child. "Speaking of Dad, he's back."

"Did he just get here?" Bulma inquired.

"No, he's been here all morning," the teenager smirked wickedly. "He's been in the gravity chamber. I thought you'd notice."

Homini watched as Bulma made an exasperated noise, shook her head, and walked briskly out of the room. The girl decided it would be best to follow her father's mate; she would know where the gravity chamber was.

Bulma noticed the Saiyan following her. She did not turn to look at her or slow her pace. She just launched herself into a very technical explanation of what the chamber was and precisely how many times it had been blow up.

Homini again tuned the Earthling out as she droned on and on. She was too anxious about seeing Vegeta again. She ran a hand through her short hair wishing that she had made use of the shower. She then went to straighten her armor when she realized that she had not put it on. She groaned inwardly as she saw how her skin-tight body suit clung to her body. Not only was her feminine body very evident to herself, she was sure that the Prince would notice as well. It was once again proof that the first-born child of the Prince was not fit to be his heir.

The girl crossed her arms over her chest as she watched the blue-haired woman enter the manual over ride code on the door of the chamber. With a loud hiss the door opened and the two women strode inside. The prince was inside rubbing the top of his head and cursing under his breath in Saiyan.

"Woman, how many times have I told you not to shut the damn machine off when I am training? One of these times I am going to hit my head on the ceiling hard enough to turn into that baka, Kakarrot."

Bulma never gave an apology but instantly started yelling at him about anything and everything that had happened in the past two days. Homini once again was shocked at the woman's audacity. Vegeta stood his ground and waited for her to run out of air. When she took a breath, he simply but sternly addressed her. "I'll talk to you later, woman. Now leave me and the girl alone."

Bulma looked at father and daughter for a moment, shook her head, and exited the chamber. Homini was for the first time in her memory, left alone with the man who sired her. She did not know what to say or do with the man who was an absolute stranger to her.

Vegeta gave his firstborn a long look. He noted with some pride that she had achieved warrior status not that long ago from the fact that her hair was still short. He also noticed that she had not put her armor on; which made the fact that she was now an adult woman quite evident. I must have spent too long with the baka Earthmen to actually notice that. Saiyan warriors are neither male nor female, but warriors. Of course there were always very few female warriors.

"So little girl, let's see how well you've been trained," the prince said motioning her to come forward. "I'll even let you go and get your armor if you think you'll need it."

"I'm ready now," Homini replied. "I'd like to see if the rumors of the Earth-bound Saiyan's are true."
