CHAPTER XXVI
HERE AT LAST
After the prince had all but killed Broli, he stood under a shower so hot it would have scalded any other being but Vegeta was too incensed to even notice. How dare that upstart try a second time to kill the royal prince and over the prince's chosen mate! Should Broli try his hand again, that legendary Super Saiyan dog would find himself gumming puppy chow with the likes of Frieza and Cell! Vegeta drew a deep breath and forced his mind away from unpleasantness and onto the fact that he was about to become daddy to his fourth male born chimp. He would have to do something very special for his Kakachan but it may have to wait until they returned to Earth.
'I'd fight a hoard of demons if they tried to take you from me, Kk. You have no idea how much I love you,' Vegeta thought to himself as he dressed in a black silk loose fitting pajama bottoms and a crisp white toga that came to his knees and fastened at both shoulders.
Vegeta stood to fuss with his waist length hair when a chime sounded. He called for the visitor to enter.
"Daddy, you are the Royal Prince of The Saiya-jin, let me do that!" a high voice sounded which caused the prince's heart to flutter against his chest.
"Terray? Teresahan? M-my baby?" he stammered and he turned to see a vision so beautiful it rivaled heaven itself and would make Queen Sunrissa herself seethe with jealousy if that female had such an emotion. "Oh, baby!" Vegeta dropped his rake and ran to the door where he scooped up a feminine version of Kakarrot crossed with a little of himself.
The two embraced and a peal of girlish laughter rang from the girl's lungs as Vegeta swung her around then she tried to tackle the prince to the ground, however, he fell as if to show she had succeeded.
"Oh, daddy, when I heard that you and Daddy K were here, I couldn't wait for the field trip to Argus-13 to end so that I could see the two of you! How are you and what happened to Magnetara?" the young girl asked as she bounced on Vegeta's stomach.
"Hey, easy, young lady! Daddy has a present in there and I don't want it exposed before it's ready to come out. C'mon, love, let me up and I'll tell you while we go see Daddy K," Vegeta promised and the young princess assisted her dad to stand. "How've you been, sweetness?" Vegeta asked as the two left his chamber and headed to the medical ward.
"I've been all right and so have Rageta and Vegetzu but we missed you terribly. We wanted to go to that planet you and Daddy K live on and bring you back here with us but King Aegar said you'd be coming up when you had the chance. So, what happened to the planet? We all heard a huge explosion and saw firelight in the sky! Lights are still skimming the surface!" Teresahan exclaimed as they reached the room where Goku was located. The young girl looked puzzled. "Why are we in delivery, daddy and why are you so large? What happened to your nice skinny body that causes beings to faint?"
"Because Daddy K's gonna have a baby, sweet chop. I don't know why Daddy V's so large. He won't tell anyone," came a raspy voiced reply from the bed.
Teresahan dragged the prince over to Goku's bed. "Daddy K!" the girl shouted as she jumped on the bed to hug Goku.
"Whoa, easy, lamb chop, Daddy K's in a bit of pain at the moment. You're little sister's bungee jumping from my liver," Goku tried to mask the pain he felt from his abdomen.
"Another little sister, for me? Oh, great! Does she have a name, yet?" the girl asked as she placed a hand on Goku's stomach and bluish light emitted from her palm.
"She's to be called Roma. Does that suit my princess?" the prince asked as he had one arm around the girl and held Goku's hand with the other however, the prince winced in slight discomfort. The princess nodded in agreement on the name and eyed her birth parent with suspicion. Had she not known her birth parent well, she would have sworn that he was carrying as well.
Goku noted his mate's pained expression and glanced at the hand that held his own. "You're hurt. How?" Goku asked in a tone that belied the worry trying to creep into his being.
The prince shook his head in dismissal. "It's nothing, love. I had to set a certain Saiyan straight regarding a challenge he issued. Its just a sprang, koi, no big thing. It doesn't even hurt," the prince said as he lay his injured hand against Goku's chest.
"Let me guess, Broli, right? I swear he's obsessed with me, Geta! I can't stand him. He scares me, koi mi," Goku rested his head against Vegeta's chest. "Besides, should you be fighting in your condition?"
"I can take it, love. Our bodies, no matter what condition they're in are designed to fight. Anyway, he'll think twice before even looking at you crossways again. He tried to kill me as we blew up the planet. I went SSJ-4 with anger and nearly sent him to join Frieza and his boys. Ya got a senzu bean, hun?" the prince asked and Goku nodded.
"In my gi pocket as always, babe. I don't like to see you hurt in any fashion and I'll personally decapitate anyone who so much as causes a tear to leave those black diamond eyes of yours," Goku said as the prince fished for the bean. Vegeta cocked his head and smirked at his mate then moved to fetch the bean.
At that moment, several others made their way into the delivery room where Goku was located. Vegeta looked up and a smile burst onto his face. He shook his head. If any of the Earth warriors and his ex saw him smiling and uttering mushy words, they would fall over backwards. The prince nodded and the others entered. Teresahan's eyes grew two sizes as she beheld two males who could be her daddy's twins and two who could be Daddy K's twins, then she looked at Vegeta.
The prince smiled. "Terray, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you your grandsire, Vegeta no Ou, your grandsire, Bardock and your Uncles Raditz and Turles. They have been granted a second chance at life and intend to make the universe a better place to live," Vegeta smiled at the male members of their families.
Princess Teresahan jumped from Goku's bed, went over and stood in front of the king and bowed. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Grand Tousan Vegeta, Grand Tousan Bardock," the young girl smiled.
If there hadn't been any lights in the room before, there certainly was the second Teresahan smiled. Her smile was reticent of every star in the universe but brighter and rivaled the no Ouji's.
"Her smile's like yours is, koi. I love that smile and your smirk, too. Yum," Goku licked his lips, which caused Vegeta to glare at him.
"Will you push this child into the universe, already, I can't stand not being with you," Vegeta growled, however a much louder roar eclipsed it. Vegeta smirked. "I'll call for room service," he said and leaned to kiss Goku.
Teresahan grimaced. Although physically she resembled a twenty-year-old, chronologically, she was just ten years old and still a baby by Saiyan standards. "Eeww gross," she teased but knew her parents were deeply in love with one another.
Those in the room laughed then Prince Vegeta pressed a button on his scouter and a member of the extensive kitchen staff answered the call. Vegeta placed the dinner order then sat and waited.
Back in Little Vegeta, those Saiya-jin who were scientists and navigators had been monitoring the elites ever since they departed on the mission, except for Celerion and Aquachest. Those two medics had been studying the demi-Saiya-jin, especially their blood. They had been monitoring their blood since day one and noticed a major change after they had gotten out of the healing tanks the last time during the prince's ordeal.
"I can't believe this, Outusan, can you? Maybe we should ask one of their own medics to take a look, after all, their mothers are here. But look, the chimps of young Trunks and Goten are full Saiya-jin and they were born before the mutation of the blood cells!" Celerion mused as he studied a slide.
Just then Gohan entered the medical lab. "So, what's the verdict? If it's yeah, we could never stay here. We'd be laughed at. Except for Cilvanti and Trunks' hair, no one would ever know we were part human," the young warrior remarked.
"It is as you say, Captain. Even your daughter's blood is mutating. She, too, will be a full Saiyan before long. Your powers will increase ten-fold. I suggest you all go join your Outusans and let the Minervians study you as well. They are a very highly advanced scientific race. I know your mothers will die of heart seizure but it was bound to happen. Oh, any news on the mission?" Celerion remembered to ask.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, they blew up a planet that Frieza found himself and his minions stuck to. Thanks, I'll let the other kids know and we'll get ready to go to Minerva," Gohan nodded then left the medical room in search of Piccolo and the others.
Word about the planet destruction had reached Chichi and Bulma and the two flew over to the castle. Chichi was in a towering rage-what else was new-and Bulma was trying to keep her own temper in check.
"I knew it! I just knew that two bit Saiyan couldn't be trusted! How dare he blow up a planet and take innocent lives! Grr, he makes me sick!" Bulma seethed.
"That planet was uninhabited and unless you have a secret love for Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu and others like them, I suggest you lay off cursing Vegeta and the Saiya-jin to the blackest hell there is! Eight Saiya-jin have just saved the universe from the greatest threats imaginable and all you can do is degrade them! No wonder he and Goku are together now" it was Piccolo who had defended the Saiyans.
Just then a buzz sounded and Eggoll pressed a button on the control council to open up a communications channel. "Eggoll, here, Commander Angelair, what news?" Eggoll asked when an image appeared on a large view screen.
"Eggoll, gather the queen, the demi-Saiyans, Ceraina, Kayla, Tormatanna, Onya, the Humizu family, and everyone related to the Ouji and his mate and his mate's Earth-jin friends. Get one person from each family to come and represent that clan and send them as well. There's to be an inter-galactic celebration over the destruction of Frieza by Saiyan hands! Plus, there will also be a birthing celebration once the Ouji and his mate's baby is pushed into the universe," Angelair spoke to the group at large.
"Yes, Commander, any further instructions?" Eggoll asked but was told to just gather the others and head to Minerva.
"The young Ouji knows the coordinates. We will see you all in about a day's time. Angelair out," Angelair said with a nod.
"Eggoll out, sir," and with that communication was terminated.
"Eggoll, this is your prince. Have my son, Trunks, to release Zarbon and bring that prince and his family along with Jeice and his family. Even though they did not fight, this is as much their celebration as it is ours," Vegeta Ouji's voice sounded over the scouter Eggoll wore.
"Yes, my prince. Are your ex-mates to come or not?" the rotund Saiyan asked as he looked at both Chichi and Bulma.
"The invite is for all of Kakarrot's Earth friends. Tell the blue haired woman she can bring her parents but she needs to hurry. You all need to be here in a day's time, that's twenty-four Earth hours. Use IT if you like if you have the patience of a fly and can't wait to join your royalty," the prince said.
"Let me talk to my daddy!" a small voice called in the distance.
"Sir, a wee bairn of a female wishes to speak with you," Bruksalada, one of the highland Saiya-jin, informed the prince.
"Put me on screen then I can address everyone," Vegeta said and instantly his face appeared on the view screen in the radar room.
The second Vegeta's face appeared Cilvi and Endive were beside themselves with joy. "Hi daddy! I miss you and so does Endy! Momma sends her love. Who's that girl beside you?" she asked as her eyes caught sight of the young girl seated between Kakarrot and the prince.
Vegeta looked at the girl and smiled. "I forgot, we haven't been to Minerva as a family since you were an Earth one year old. Surely, my little warrior, you haven't forgotten your big sister, Teresahan, have you?" Vegeta asked, with pride and joy shining in his obsidian orbs.
"Teresa, hi! Long time no see, big sis, how are you?" Cilvi asked, all smiles and giggles and the two fell into a conversation in Saiyago.
Vegeta shook his head, got up and left the viewing area. Those watching saw him in the background as he stood beside a bed and looked down on the occupant.
"What's daddy doing?" Cilvi asked.
Teresahan looked over. "I think Daddy K's about to push out Roma. I gotta go help. I'll see ya when ya get here. Tell Trunks hi. Oh, who's the kid who looks just like Daddy V?" the elder girl asked as she caught sight of Endive for the first time.
"This is our brother, Endive. His mom is named Ceraina. You'll meet them when we get there. Love ya, sis! Bye!" Cilvi bade.
"Bye, little one. We'll play when you get here!" Teresahan bade then the screen went blank and Cilvi turned off the screen in the radar room.
"Where's dad, I wanted to talk to him," young Vegeta had entered the radar room at the tail end of his sister's conversation.
"He left the view area and went over to a bed. I guess you can call him on the scouter. C'mon Endive, let's get ready to go to Minerva," Cilvi said and took her little brother to do as she said.
Trunks Vegeta pressed a button on the scouter. "Yes, Trunks, what is it? Make it quick, I gotta assist Kakarrot in pushing our child out!" the prince voice sounded irritated.
"Oh, so-sorry dad. It really wasn't important, just to congratulate you on finally destroying Frieza. Sorry to have interrupted, but Celerion told Gohan that we should get up there to have our blood tested. He mentioned something about a mutation that the Minervians may be able to understand. We'll be there in a bit. The medics are coming with us." the young prince stammered.
"Fine, fine. Get everyone together and get up here ASAP! Vegeta Ouji out!"
"We'll use the Instant Transmission, Trunks Vegeta Ouji out," Trunks bade and connection was terminated. 'Kakarrot's about to have the baby! I gotta let Goten know!' Trunks though then went to find his male amour, which was probably surrounded by their offspring and the new chimps they had birthed before the elder prince had been taken captive.
On Minerva, Prince Vegeta sat on the bed behind Kakarrot; Teresahan emitted her energy to ease his discomfort. Goku had gone into strong intense labor and was having a very hard time just breathing. Vegeta felt his mate's every pain as he himself had experienced when he pushed Teresahan into the universe. However, since the two of them were at Pilzara Saiyan level, the chimp's power was all but ripping her poor birth parent to pieces.
"AAHHH! God, Vegeta, not even you could inflict this kind of torture on me when we battle! Gkkkknnnn! Now I know how Chichi felt when she gave birth to Gohan! Oh, please let me die!" Goku screamed in pain.
"Don't say that! I know it's painful, koi, but once she's out, you won't remember this torment. The next delivery should go easier. It's always painful with the first and given this one's power, I'm surprised we're still conscious. Hey, look at me, right here!" Vegeta pointed to the middle of his forehead and Goku's eyes locked onto the site, however...
"Daddy!" a high pitched shriek sounded.
"Poppa!" another greeting came from a little deeper voice.
Vegeta, Goku and the other occupants of the room looked up to find both mothers, all four female mates-who were showing in their own pregnancy-Goten, Trunks and their ten children. Ceraina's entire family and everyone else that had been invited to the planet but were not expected to arrive so soon but were all standing in Goku's bed chamber.
Surprise would not describe the reaction of those in the bedroom but the emotion could not be entertained as Goku was suffering terribly. His screams caused all to try and gather round him to help him in any way they could. Vegeta recovered when his eyes focused on the massive crowd.
"Get out! All of you get out of here except Aquachest, Celerion and their wives! No one's to be present except the two families involved! Now go!" the prince screamed. He had slid from behind Goku to stand in front of his mate as if to shield him from all eyes.
Saiyan tradition dictated that the birthing of a chimp into the universe was a private thing only to be witnessed by the parents, their parents and the medical staff, and the Saiya-jin who had arrived all turned to leave along with the Tsuria-jin, Rockaria-jin and the X-team. Goku's friends, however and their other offspring remained.
"What did I say? I said get out of here! Everyone will see the chimp once she's born, for now, go away!" the prince snarled, his tail standing straight out to reflect his growing impatience.
"Goku is our friend, Vegeta, we're here to give him moral support. How could you do something so cruel to him?" Yamcha yelled and Vegeta the prince bristled, his hair joining his tail in standing on end like an angered cat and made him appear twice his 5'8" size and sumo girth.
Just then Vegeta Ou stood and he was not happy. He took a step towards the hardheaded humans. "My son asked you to leave! Childbirth for us is a very private event and no one sees the child until we present it at the birthing celebration! Now, it may be a circus on your planet but on any world the Saiya-jin are on, you will abide by our rules! Paragus, Nappa show these weaklings to the waiting room!" the king ordered and the two largest Saiya-jin stepped out.
Well, at the sight of the two walking mountains, which had enough power in one eyelash to destroy three planets, the Earth-jin turned and ran to where they had seen the other Saiya-jin take off. When the room was cleared, the medics positioned themselves to catch the chimp upon her entry. Celerion put his hand on Goku's abdomen-Goku was without apparel except for a hospital toga just like the one Vegeta Ouji had fastened on.
"My prince, we have a problem! She's too big to fit through the birth chamber. We'll have to take her out!" Celerion said and the prince nodded.
"Understood," Vegeta replied and then he focused his mind on the link he and Goku shared. 'Kkchan, Roma's too big to be birthed naturally, so she has to be taken out. I'm gonna send enough energy into you to cause a numbing sensation then the medic will do the rest. Trust me?' the prince asked and Goku nodded.
'As long as it doesn't involve a needle, anything,' Goku replied through the link.
Vegeta chuckled. Kakarrot's fear of needles was one thing about the big ape that always made the prince laugh. 'You big baby. Close your eyes and just concentrate on the heat from my hand,' Vegeta instructed as he held his hand over Goku's abdomen and emitted a blue-white light into the area.
"He'll need a local to numb the area, sir. Shall I proceed?" the medic received a nod in the affirmative then took a syringe and injected it into the spot Vegeta was sending energy. "That should work in about five minutes, then we can extract your daughter," the medic smiled.
The prince nodded and decreased the energy he was sending forth then he returned to his perch over Goku's head, tucked his feet under Goku's shoulders, put the larger Saiyan's head in his lap and began to massage his koi's scalp in effort to relax him.
"You're spoiling me, my prince. I'll be glad when this child's brought forth, then I'm gonna pay you back," Goku attempted a tired smirk.
"Oh, you think? Teresahan was a lucky shot, but then again, it's as the saying goes: love conquers all. In order for me to have had her, I had to have loved you from the start," Vegeta whispered into Goku's ear.
"Geta, may I ask you something real personal?" Goku asked as he further relaxed into the massage.
"We're mates now, love, you can ask anything you like. I'll deem whether or not it's too personal. Heh, heh, even if it were you could always find out. Ask away, mi amour," Vegeta sighed as he continued to massage Goku's scalp.
"Did you ever give birth during those years?" Goku slurred as he relaxed.
Vegeta didn't pretend to not know to what the larger Saiyan was referring, the question was how to answer him with their parents around and the others.
"I'll answer that, little brother. Between the three of us, we probably birthed that disgusting creature twenty halflings, many died because our blood didn't mix well with his. Our prince was his favorite play toy, and when that demon found it only took three months (Earth time, 1.5 month Saiyan time) to achieved what usually took six (Earth months) under normal circumstances, he made sure to have one of us with his spawn. After we birthed them, Zarbon or Dodoria would take the infant away and tell us that it had died during childbirth. Good riddance in some cases, then there were the ones we pushed out for either Zarbon or Dodoria," it was Raditz with the explanation.
The no Ouji looked up with surprised black eyes. "What? I never pushed one for Dodoria! Zarbon, yes, and when freeze face wasn't around, that blue freak took me to see the result before he sent them to a contact of his. They didn't turn out half bad but the fact was, they were still half blood," the prince hissed, the subject being a sore one to broach.
"You should have seen the monstrosities I pushed out for that pink Humpty Dumpty thing! Talk about hideous! I wanted to kill the things rather than release them on the universe! I hope they placed them on planets so far out in the universe, not even Bayroot can find them," Raditz hissed then his eyes gleamed as if he thought of something. "Vegeta...
"They're here and they're ok. I checked on them before we left to take care of the bane of our existence. Aegar's raising them as if they were his own but he always tells them of their origin," Vegeta smirked.
Goku might not have been a genius by Saiyan standards, but he put two and two together and came up with the result that Vegeta and Raditz had mated. The thought sickened and saddened the larger Saiyan and suddenly, Goku did not want the Ouji to touch him.
"Vegeta, stop, please. I-I'll deliver her myself," Goku sniffed and closed himself against the prince.
Vegeta glared at him. "No, I will not have this from you, koi! You are my chosen one! Raditz was attempting to save me from Frieza but it backfired and he sent the two of them on a purge mission then he punished me like he had never done before. Unlike his two stooges, he would not put me in a tank. That's why I'm under tall and that's why my body looks like a war zone. Don't do this to me, Kk, I need you and I don't care who hears it! I need you and I've chosen you," Vegeta fought to control his emotions at the thought of losing his brother bond with the larger Saiyan.
"It was only necessity, Kakarrot, that dictated we mate. I never knew he and I were close brothers and really could not mate in the same sense you and he have done. Little brother, Kakarrot, he does need you. He never was the brave, strong prince he put forth. Proud, yes, ruthless, yes, brave, no, strong, not at all. We protected him until we had been sent into the other dimension then we watched and knew the two of you would end up together. Kakarrot, I could never have had what he so willingly has given to you even if I purged the entire universe and gave it to him as a play toy. You have his heart and that he has never given to any one, except Ceraina, her majesty and the twins. He gave pieces to his offspring but you have the whole thing and all he did was look into your eyes that day, one year after I had died. I knew he wouldn't wish me back because I'd be a hindrance to him and bar him from his true soul mate, my other little brother. Protect him, Kakarrot, he is the crown of the Saiya-jin," Raditz assured his youngest brother.
"Besides, slow wit, you already know both your nephew and near son, and now you know their true parentage. You know Ditzu was born from Bardock. It must be that weak human influence clouding your Saiyan nature," the prince smirked then a wail pierced the room.
"She's here!" Celerion announced and he withdrew a chimp as large as the prince's biceps and a tail just as big.
All eyes looked to the medic who held the squirming bundle. The emotion was uncontrollable and all those in the room burst into tears of happiness. Both grand parents and uncles gathered around as the medic cleaned out the baby's mouth then handed her to the prince.
"Still want nothing to do with me? Could you raise this little powerhouse yourself?" Vegeta asked in soft tones as he pulled on the life cord.
Goku hung his head then gave it a quick shake. "Heh, you know me, Vegeta, I speak before I think. You are the world to me and this little one just shows what I feel for you in my heart. I was just shocked but I shouldn't have been that was the human Son Goku side of me that can't deal with being a Saiyan. Kakarrot, the Saiyan prince's mate and protector, understands. Forgive me, mi koi?" the large Saiyan, asked as he fingered the baby's thick fox-like tail.
The prince smirked in the fashion that melted Goku into a quivering mass and nodded then drew a section of the life cord to his mate's lips. "Bite, mi amour. Everyone, we all know what to do," the prince nodded.
Bite the life cord that was sick! Goku's human mind screamed at him but his instincts screamed louder and he opened his mouth, let his mate bring a piece to his lips then bit down to sever the link between his body and the baby in his mate's arms. Vegeta, grandparents, Kayla, Kale, Ceraina, Tormatanna and uncles followed suit. Aquachest then left the proud daddy duo, the grandparents, the uncles and the others to lap the infant clean of the substance that had sustained her life for the last six months while in incubation. It was Saiyan tradition and a custom in many tribal societies that the birth substance be licked up by the family to show the child was acceptable, however, those gathered did not completely lick the baby clean as the siblings were to complete that task.
Aquachest re-entered the birthing room followed by eight siblings, eleven nieces and nephews and two sisters-in-law. All stopped off to take a bite of the life cord except Cilvi who had never partaken in any Saiyan ritual other than trying to beat one another into the ground. The elder prince explained the ritual to his second daughter who then followed the other younger Saiya-jin then they all turned to the baby to join their oral enzymes with those of the parents in marking the new arrival as a member of the royal house of Vegeta. Following the bathing of the newest arrival, the medic proceeded to sew his patient together after he had removed the membrane in which the infant had floated during her development. That membrane was then placed in a pan, taken to the kitchen and given to the cook. Ceraina and Kayla then took the baby from her dads. It was common practice that the female mates of dual mated males suckle the child for the first three months of its life. Thus, Kayla being the mate of the birth male would suckle the chimp first then Ceraina would do the same. They took the baby and brought her to the queen who then wrapped her in a royal purple blanket with gold fringe and the royal crest of Vegeta embroidered on it. The blanket was constructed from velvet and satin, with satin being next to the infant's skin and caused the tyke to whimper when she was enfolded into it.
"Heaven help us when she lets out a cry to the rafters! We'll have to find new planets to inhabit," Vegeta Ouji remarked with a snicker as he lay beside his mate.
"Explain, my son," the king requested as he assisted in wrapping his new granddaughter in the royal seal.
"Only that she was born a Femzoro Saiyan, making her as dangerous as the eight of us here now," the prince nodded then turned his attention to two young warriors who were his and Raditz' mirror images. He smiled and nodded. "My boys, welcome! So glad you could be here to welcome the newest Princess Vegeta," he addressed the two who bowed in greeting as the prince sat up and got off the bed to greet the boys properly with a bow and a hug.
"Outusan, Uncle Kakarrot, how are you both and who are all these Saiya-jin? One resembles Poppa Raditz!" one of the images remarked.
"That's because he is, Rageta, my son. Vegetzu, meet your birth dad, Raditz," the prince introduced the two young men to Raditz and their grandparents.
The boys' mouths fell open then they looked and found another image of the only parent they had ever known as well as two images of their Uncle Kakarrot. This could not be, hadn't Vegeta and Kakarrot both told the boys on their visits to Minerva that Raditz and their granddads had been killed many ages ago? Raditz by a Namek when he went to retrieve Kakarrot for a mission and the king and Bardock when Frieza blew up the planet Vegeta.
"Dad, I-I thought---!"
"They were, my sons, but I had assisted the Supreme Kai of the Inner Universe with destroying one of those beings we blew up earlier. I repented of the evil I had done to the Universe as a slave for Frieza and I wished that all the lives I had ever taken be restored along with all the Saiya-jin who had died when our home world was destroyed. I also wished for other Saiya-jin to be restored, which brought back your dad, granddads, Broli, Paragus and Nappa," the prince explained.
The boys slowly approached the large Saiyan who was taken aback at seeing his sons for the first time since their births, then the three fell into strong bear hugs, unable to control the emotions that burst forth at their reunion.
Cilvi stood shocked at the entire show. Daddy had never mentioned any other brothers to her! She was just getting used to Endive and the fact that her natural brother was the prince's heir. Now she was face to face with two young men who were the prince's exact doubles with knee length spiked black hair.
"Daddy, what's to become of Geta and me? Are we still your kids, too?" the little blue-haired Saiyan asked and the prince knelt to address her on her level, with some difficulty, thus his two elder sons and Raditz assisted him.
"What did I tell you when Endive and his mother arrived? I have enough love in me for all of you. Ok, so, I didn't tell you about your older brothers, and I did say that Trunks Vegeta was my eldest and my heir, which he will have to fight your elder brothers for, but neither Rageta nor Vegetzu can be named my heirs unless the king sanctions such can occur. A female must bring any heir to the throne of Vegeta forth. You're still my little warrior and my little princess as is the baby. Terray is my big girl. Rageta and Vegetzu are my big boys like Endive is my baby boy. You and Trunks unfortunately are my middle children; however, I love you no less than I had when I took care of you during the first three months of your lives. Don't be jealous, love, that's an emotion and only leads to anger. I should know," Vegeta looked up at the now sleeping form of his mate, then he looked to Celerion. "Put him in a tank. He'll need his strength for the celebration and battle later." Vegeta lifted Cilvi in his arms. "How would you like to take the Earth-jin shopping? Now we can do it as an entire family!" he smiled at the little one, who nodded vigorously as the boys and Raditz helped the prince back onto his feet then moved away to get better acquainted. 'God, now I know why I hate being the birth parent! It's so trying on one's small figure,' the prince thought to himself.
"I'm sorry, daddy, I didn't mean to get jealous. Can I go talk to Rageta and Vegetzu?" Cilvi asked and the prince put her down to do just that. Little Endive had already engaged in that very activity along with Teresahan. Trunks and Goten along with their brood also huddled around the two boys, as they hadn't seen them since Vegeta had brought them all to Minerva almost four years before his accidents.
Vegeta turned to look at his handsome mate. Sighing in contentment, he placed a hand on the sleeping Saiyan's face, Vegeta smiled. "You did a wonderful job, mi koi. I love you and thank you for the most beautiful daughters Saiya's ever seen. I'll be here to take you to the celebration, and then you can beat me into the ground for causing you to endure such pain. Rest easy, mi amour. Je t'ieme," he said and leaned to kiss Goku's tempting lips that were parted in slumber. 'I'll be delivering this football quarterback very soon,' the prince smirked as he winced in discomfort.
After orderlies had wheeled the prince's male amour to the healing room, the prince gathered all his offspring and their children then left the room himself to go greet the humans.
In the waiting area, the humans had either fallen asleep or grew angry because no one bothered to give them a play by play. They couldn't watch television because they couldn't understand the language.
"I swear, that runt's gonna rue the day he inflicted this torture on my poor Goku. I'd like to see him go through what my poor Goku is. I bet he couldn't live through it!" Chichi seethed.
"You'll be surprised what you can live through. I've pushed my share of brats into the universe, woman, and I'm about to do so for the same Saiyan male I had my eldest daughter for," a voice hissed from behind Chichi and she turned with a start.
"'Vegeta! What--!" the black haired woman lost not only the color in her face but her voice as well.
Bulma's mouth flapped open in disbelief as she stared at two other images of the prince along with a ravishing female image of her beloved Goku. "V-Vegeta...Who..."
Vegeta held a hand to silence her. "My twins are named Rageta and Vegetzu. Rageta's 'Outusan' is Kakarrot's and my elder brother, Raditz. I am Vegetzu's Outusan. The female Kakarrot is named Teresahan and her Outusan is Kakarrot. I pushed both of them into the universe. Raditz pushed the other. Terray was the last one I was able to deliver, so out of all my brats, she's my young queen," Vegeta smiled, turned and kissed the young female who lay her head against his arm. 'Soon I'll be presenting Kakarrot with another,' the prince smiled as he held his eldest daughter and caressed his rotund abdomen.
"Hold on, mister, I did not go through fifty hours of labor trying to have Bura for you to throw her away!" Bulma seethed and got up from her seat to challenge the prince.
Rageta stepped between his dad and the blue haired woman as did Vegetzu, Teresahan, Trunks, Cilvi and Endive. "You want a piece of our Outusan, you'll have to come through us, to do it!" the elder image of Vegeta snarled then a growl was heard, which signaled unrest.
"Rage` (soft 'g' sound), stand down, my son. She cannot hurt me. We are on Saiya-jin territory. She and all these with her are the aliens," the prince smirked and took his son's tail, stroked it and the boy calmed considerably. "I had come to invite you on a shopping spree, but-"
"A shopping spree! You? You hate shopping, oh, wait, that was when we were together. What's the deal?" Bulma asked.
"I don't care, what the deal is, I'm going. This is my first time on a foreign planet and I intend to enjoy myself. Marron, Krillin, you can stay behind if you want, but I'm going," 18 smiled and moved to join the prince.
"You heard your mother, Marron, let's go. Besides, I like Vegeta when he's like this. You two, Bulma, Chichi, need to lighten up. X-team, let's go," Krillin nodded, then got up to follow his wife.
Bulma sighed. There was no winning. Looking at Chichi the two nodded in silent agreement and prepared to go wherever the Saiyan prince led. Pan and Videl were also present but the elder woman ignored Gohan where the younger one fell into his arms.
"I'll give you all two hours to get yourselves together. We'll meet in the main courtyard and depart from there. Algernon, show the Earth-jin to the guest quarters to prepare. Children," the prince nodded, turned with his small army and Raditz and left the guard to show the guests from Earth where they would be staying.
"Poppa Vegeta-san, would it be improper for me to take Outusan to go spar?" Vegetzu asked the prince.
"It is right that you do so, however, be in shape for tonight's festivities. I expect nothing less than Super Saiyan three strength from the two of you. Trageta, Rageta, Goten, Gohan, Endive, kids, if you all wish to join them, don't let me stop you. You females, too, if you so desire. You can find me at the healing center with Uncle Kakarrot," Vegeta said in the smooth haughty tones of the well bred.
Those that Vegeta had named bowed and left the group to go spar.
"Gohan, Goten, get your butts back here at once!" Chichi screamed at the retreating backs of her sons and their chosen mates. Then she rounded on Vegeta and flew to attack him.
Seeing the enraged female, the prince sidestepped her attack. "What's eating you, woman? The boys are no longer demi-Saiya-jin but full-blooded Saiya-jin, as are my own born from your friend there due to a mutation in their blood. Little by little they will pull away from the weak Earth ways they had been taught and embrace who and what they truly are. Come, my daughters. If you all desire to come with us, I have no complaints, just be on your best behavior," the prince admonished and left with his daughters to prepare for he shopping trip.
"Daddy, why was that black haired woman gonna attack you?" Teresahan asked as she carried her little sister to the healing center were her other dad was in the healing tank.
"Oh, she's hated daddy ever since he put Daddy K in the hospital the first time I met him when Nappa and I first invaded Earth many years ago. She's the one who kept him thinking he was a human as did Cilvi and Trageta's mother," the prince replied as he checked the readings on his mate's tank. He smiled and pulled a pallet over to the tank then lay down in front of the machine.
"Daddy K's handsome, isn't he, daddy? I'm gonna love my new sister just like I do Cilvi," Terray smiled as she lay her sleeping little sister on the pallet on Vegeta's right side as she lay on the prince's left.
Just then, Kayla and Ceraina entered the healing room with their little bundle, who they placed on the prince's chest then went to find space to rest on the pallet as well. Any male watching would envy the prince because he was surrounded by five of the most gorgeous female creatures ever to grace the universe. After finding comfortable positions, the elder females embraced the two younger ones and the entire family drifted off to another galaxy.
CHAPTER XXVI
HERE AT LAST
After the prince had all but killed Broli, he stood under a shower so hot it would have scalded any other being but Vegeta was too incensed to even notice. How dare that upstart try a second time to kill the royal prince and over the prince's chosen mate! Should Broli try his hand again, that legendary Super Saiyan dog would find himself gumming puppy chow with the likes of Frieza and Cell! Vegeta drew a deep breath and forced his mind away from unpleasantness and onto the fact that he was about to become daddy to his fourth male born chimp. He would have to do something very special for his Kakachan but it may have to wait until they returned to Earth.
'I'd fight a hoard of demons if they tried to take you from me, Kk. You have no idea how much I love you,' Vegeta thought to himself as he dressed in a black silk loose fitting pajama bottoms and a crisp white toga that came to his knees and fastened at both shoulders.
Vegeta stood to fuss with his waist length hair when a chime sounded. He called for the visitor to enter.
"Daddy, you are the Royal Prince of The Saiya-jin, let me do that!" a high voice sounded which caused the prince's heart to flutter against his chest.
"Terray? Teresahan? M-my baby?" he stammered and he turned to see a vision so beautiful it rivaled heaven itself and would make Queen Sunrissa herself seethe with jealousy if that female had such an emotion. "Oh, baby!" Vegeta dropped his rake and ran to the door where he scooped up a feminine version of Kakarrot crossed with a little of himself.
The two embraced and a peal of girlish laughter rang from the girl's lungs as Vegeta swung her around then she tried to tackle the prince to the ground, however, he fell as if to show she had succeeded.
"Oh, daddy, when I heard that you and Daddy K were here, I couldn't wait for the field trip to Argus-13 to end so that I could see the two of you! How are you and what happened to Magnetara?" the young girl asked as she bounced on Vegeta's stomach.
"Hey, easy, young lady! Daddy has a present in there and I don't want it exposed before it's ready to come out. C'mon, love, let me up and I'll tell you while we go see Daddy K," Vegeta promised and the young princess assisted her dad to stand. "How've you been, sweetness?" Vegeta asked as the two left his chamber and headed to the medical ward.
"I've been all right and so have Rageta and Vegetzu but we missed you terribly. We wanted to go to that planet you and Daddy K live on and bring you back here with us but King Aegar said you'd be coming up when you had the chance. So, what happened to the planet? We all heard a huge explosion and saw firelight in the sky! Lights are still skimming the surface!" Teresahan exclaimed as they reached the room where Goku was located. The young girl looked puzzled. "Why are we in delivery, daddy and why are you so large? What happened to your nice skinny body that causes beings to faint?"
"Because Daddy K's gonna have a baby, sweet chop. I don't know why Daddy V's so large. He won't tell anyone," came a raspy voiced reply from the bed.
Teresahan dragged the prince over to Goku's bed. "Daddy K!" the girl shouted as she jumped on the bed to hug Goku.
"Whoa, easy, lamb chop, Daddy K's in a bit of pain at the moment. You're little sister's bungee jumping from my liver," Goku tried to mask the pain he felt from his abdomen.
"Another little sister, for me? Oh, great! Does she have a name, yet?" the girl asked as she placed a hand on Goku's stomach and bluish light emitted from her palm.
"She's to be called Roma. Does that suit my princess?" the prince asked as he had one arm around the girl and held Goku's hand with the other however, the prince winced in slight discomfort. The princess nodded in agreement on the name and eyed her birth parent with suspicion. Had she not known her birth parent well, she would have sworn that he was carrying as well.
Goku noted his mate's pained expression and glanced at the hand that held his own. "You're hurt. How?" Goku asked in a tone that belied the worry trying to creep into his being.
The prince shook his head in dismissal. "It's nothing, love. I had to set a certain Saiyan straight regarding a challenge he issued. Its just a sprang, koi, no big thing. It doesn't even hurt," the prince said as he lay his injured hand against Goku's chest.
"Let me guess, Broli, right? I swear he's obsessed with me, Geta! I can't stand him. He scares me, koi mi," Goku rested his head against Vegeta's chest. "Besides, should you be fighting in your condition?"
"I can take it, love. Our bodies, no matter what condition they're in are designed to fight. Anyway, he'll think twice before even looking at you crossways again. He tried to kill me as we blew up the planet. I went SSJ-4 with anger and nearly sent him to join Frieza and his boys. Ya got a senzu bean, hun?" the prince asked and Goku nodded.
"In my gi pocket as always, babe. I don't like to see you hurt in any fashion and I'll personally decapitate anyone who so much as causes a tear to leave those black diamond eyes of yours," Goku said as the prince fished for the bean. Vegeta cocked his head and smirked at his mate then moved to fetch the bean.
At that moment, several others made their way into the delivery room where Goku was located. Vegeta looked up and a smile burst onto his face. He shook his head. If any of the Earth warriors and his ex saw him smiling and uttering mushy words, they would fall over backwards. The prince nodded and the others entered. Teresahan's eyes grew two sizes as she beheld two males who could be her daddy's twins and two who could be Daddy K's twins, then she looked at Vegeta.
The prince smiled. "Terray, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you your grandsire, Vegeta no Ou, your grandsire, Bardock and your Uncles Raditz and Turles. They have been granted a second chance at life and intend to make the universe a better place to live," Vegeta smiled at the male members of their families.
Princess Teresahan jumped from Goku's bed, went over and stood in front of the king and bowed. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Grand Tousan Vegeta, Grand Tousan Bardock," the young girl smiled.
If there hadn't been any lights in the room before, there certainly was the second Teresahan smiled. Her smile was reticent of every star in the universe but brighter and rivaled the no Ouji's.
"Her smile's like yours is, koi. I love that smile and your smirk, too. Yum," Goku licked his lips, which caused Vegeta to glare at him.
"Will you push this child into the universe, already, I can't stand not being with you," Vegeta growled, however a much louder roar eclipsed it. Vegeta smirked. "I'll call for room service," he said and leaned to kiss Goku.
Teresahan grimaced. Although physically she resembled a twenty-year-old, chronologically, she was just ten years old and still a baby by Saiyan standards. "Eeww gross," she teased but knew her parents were deeply in love with one another.
Those in the room laughed then Prince Vegeta pressed a button on his scouter and a member of the extensive kitchen staff answered the call. Vegeta placed the dinner order then sat and waited.
Back in Little Vegeta, those Saiya-jin who were scientists and navigators had been monitoring the elites ever since they departed on the mission, except for Celerion and Aquachest. Those two medics had been studying the demi-Saiya-jin, especially their blood. They had been monitoring their blood since day one and noticed a major change after they had gotten out of the healing tanks the last time during the prince's ordeal.
"I can't believe this, Outusan, can you? Maybe we should ask one of their own medics to take a look, after all, their mothers are here. But look, the chimps of young Trunks and Goten are full Saiya-jin and they were born before the mutation of the blood cells!" Celerion mused as he studied a slide.
Just then Gohan entered the medical lab. "So, what's the verdict? If it's yeah, we could never stay here. We'd be laughed at. Except for Cilvanti and Trunks' hair, no one would ever know we were part human," the young warrior remarked.
"It is as you say, Captain. Even your daughter's blood is mutating. She, too, will be a full Saiyan before long. Your powers will increase ten-fold. I suggest you all go join your Outusans and let the Minervians study you as well. They are a very highly advanced scientific race. I know your mothers will die of heart seizure but it was bound to happen. Oh, any news on the mission?" Celerion remembered to ask.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, they blew up a planet that Frieza found himself and his minions stuck to. Thanks, I'll let the other kids know and we'll get ready to go to Minerva," Gohan nodded then left the medical room in search of Piccolo and the others.
Word about the planet destruction had reached Chichi and Bulma and the two flew over to the castle. Chichi was in a towering rage-what else was new-and Bulma was trying to keep her own temper in check.
"I knew it! I just knew that two bit Saiyan couldn't be trusted! How dare he blow up a planet and take innocent lives! Grr, he makes me sick!" Bulma seethed.
"That planet was uninhabited and unless you have a secret love for Frieza, Cell, Majin Buu and others like them, I suggest you lay off cursing Vegeta and the Saiya-jin to the blackest hell there is! Eight Saiya-jin have just saved the universe from the greatest threats imaginable and all you can do is degrade them! No wonder he and Goku are together now" it was Piccolo who had defended the Saiyans.
Just then a buzz sounded and Eggoll pressed a button on the control council to open up a communications channel. "Eggoll, here, Commander Angelair, what news?" Eggoll asked when an image appeared on a large view screen.
"Eggoll, gather the queen, the demi-Saiyans, Ceraina, Kayla, Tormatanna, Onya, the Humizu family, and everyone related to the Ouji and his mate and his mate's Earth-jin friends. Get one person from each family to come and represent that clan and send them as well. There's to be an inter-galactic celebration over the destruction of Frieza by Saiyan hands! Plus, there will also be a birthing celebration once the Ouji and his mate's baby is pushed into the universe," Angelair spoke to the group at large.
"Yes, Commander, any further instructions?" Eggoll asked but was told to just gather the others and head to Minerva.
"The young Ouji knows the coordinates. We will see you all in about a day's time. Angelair out," Angelair said with a nod.
"Eggoll out, sir," and with that communication was terminated.
"Eggoll, this is your prince. Have my son, Trunks, to release Zarbon and bring that prince and his family along with Jeice and his family. Even though they did not fight, this is as much their celebration as it is ours," Vegeta Ouji's voice sounded over the scouter Eggoll wore.
"Yes, my prince. Are your ex-mates to come or not?" the rotund Saiyan asked as he looked at both Chichi and Bulma.
"The invite is for all of Kakarrot's Earth friends. Tell the blue haired woman she can bring her parents but she needs to hurry. You all need to be here in a day's time, that's twenty-four Earth hours. Use IT if you like if you have the patience of a fly and can't wait to join your royalty," the prince said.
"Let me talk to my daddy!" a small voice called in the distance.
"Sir, a wee bairn of a female wishes to speak with you," Bruksalada, one of the highland Saiya-jin, informed the prince.
"Put me on screen then I can address everyone," Vegeta said and instantly his face appeared on the view screen in the radar room.
The second Vegeta's face appeared Cilvi and Endive were beside themselves with joy. "Hi daddy! I miss you and so does Endy! Momma sends her love. Who's that girl beside you?" she asked as her eyes caught sight of the young girl seated between Kakarrot and the prince.
Vegeta looked at the girl and smiled. "I forgot, we haven't been to Minerva as a family since you were an Earth one year old. Surely, my little warrior, you haven't forgotten your big sister, Teresahan, have you?" Vegeta asked, with pride and joy shining in his obsidian orbs.
"Teresa, hi! Long time no see, big sis, how are you?" Cilvi asked, all smiles and giggles and the two fell into a conversation in Saiyago.
Vegeta shook his head, got up and left the viewing area. Those watching saw him in the background as he stood beside a bed and looked down on the occupant.
"What's daddy doing?" Cilvi asked.
Teresahan looked over. "I think Daddy K's about to push out Roma. I gotta go help. I'll see ya when ya get here. Tell Trunks hi. Oh, who's the kid who looks just like Daddy V?" the elder girl asked as she caught sight of Endive for the first time.
"This is our brother, Endive. His mom is named Ceraina. You'll meet them when we get there. Love ya, sis! Bye!" Cilvi bade.
"Bye, little one. We'll play when you get here!" Teresahan bade then the screen went blank and Cilvi turned off the screen in the radar room.
"Where's dad, I wanted to talk to him," young Vegeta had entered the radar room at the tail end of his sister's conversation.
"He left the view area and went over to a bed. I guess you can call him on the scouter. C'mon Endive, let's get ready to go to Minerva," Cilvi said and took her little brother to do as she said.
Trunks Vegeta pressed a button on the scouter. "Yes, Trunks, what is it? Make it quick, I gotta assist Kakarrot in pushing our child out!" the prince voice sounded irritated.
"Oh, so-sorry dad. It really wasn't important, just to congratulate you on finally destroying Frieza. Sorry to have interrupted, but Celerion told Gohan that we should get up there to have our blood tested. He mentioned something about a mutation that the Minervians may be able to understand. We'll be there in a bit. The medics are coming with us." the young prince stammered.
"Fine, fine. Get everyone together and get up here ASAP! Vegeta Ouji out!"
"We'll use the Instant Transmission, Trunks Vegeta Ouji out," Trunks bade and connection was terminated. 'Kakarrot's about to have the baby! I gotta let Goten know!' Trunks though then went to find his male amour, which was probably surrounded by their offspring and the new chimps they had birthed before the elder prince had been taken captive.
On Minerva, Prince Vegeta sat on the bed behind Kakarrot; Teresahan emitted her energy to ease his discomfort. Goku had gone into strong intense labor and was having a very hard time just breathing. Vegeta felt his mate's every pain as he himself had experienced when he pushed Teresahan into the universe. However, since the two of them were at Pilzara Saiyan level, the chimp's power was all but ripping her poor birth parent to pieces.
"AAHHH! God, Vegeta, not even you could inflict this kind of torture on me when we battle! Gkkkknnnn! Now I know how Chichi felt when she gave birth to Gohan! Oh, please let me die!" Goku screamed in pain.
"Don't say that! I know it's painful, koi, but once she's out, you won't remember this torment. The next delivery should go easier. It's always painful with the first and given this one's power, I'm surprised we're still conscious. Hey, look at me, right here!" Vegeta pointed to the middle of his forehead and Goku's eyes locked onto the site, however...
"Daddy!" a high pitched shriek sounded.
"Poppa!" another greeting came from a little deeper voice.
Vegeta, Goku and the other occupants of the room looked up to find both mothers, all four female mates-who were showing in their own pregnancy-Goten, Trunks and their ten children. Ceraina's entire family and everyone else that had been invited to the planet but were not expected to arrive so soon but were all standing in Goku's bed chamber.
Surprise would not describe the reaction of those in the bedroom but the emotion could not be entertained as Goku was suffering terribly. His screams caused all to try and gather round him to help him in any way they could. Vegeta recovered when his eyes focused on the massive crowd.
"Get out! All of you get out of here except Aquachest, Celerion and their wives! No one's to be present except the two families involved! Now go!" the prince screamed. He had slid from behind Goku to stand in front of his mate as if to shield him from all eyes.
Saiyan tradition dictated that the birthing of a chimp into the universe was a private thing only to be witnessed by the parents, their parents and the medical staff, and the Saiya-jin who had arrived all turned to leave along with the Tsuria-jin, Rockaria-jin and the X-team. Goku's friends, however and their other offspring remained.
"What did I say? I said get out of here! Everyone will see the chimp once she's born, for now, go away!" the prince snarled, his tail standing straight out to reflect his growing impatience.
"Goku is our friend, Vegeta, we're here to give him moral support. How could you do something so cruel to him?" Yamcha yelled and Vegeta the prince bristled, his hair joining his tail in standing on end like an angered cat and made him appear twice his 5'8" size and sumo girth.
Just then Vegeta Ou stood and he was not happy. He took a step towards the hardheaded humans. "My son asked you to leave! Childbirth for us is a very private event and no one sees the child until we present it at the birthing celebration! Now, it may be a circus on your planet but on any world the Saiya-jin are on, you will abide by our rules! Paragus, Nappa show these weaklings to the waiting room!" the king ordered and the two largest Saiya-jin stepped out.
Well, at the sight of the two walking mountains, which had enough power in one eyelash to destroy three planets, the Earth-jin turned and ran to where they had seen the other Saiya-jin take off. When the room was cleared, the medics positioned themselves to catch the chimp upon her entry. Celerion put his hand on Goku's abdomen-Goku was without apparel except for a hospital toga just like the one Vegeta Ouji had fastened on.
"My prince, we have a problem! She's too big to fit through the birth chamber. We'll have to take her out!" Celerion said and the prince nodded.
"Understood," Vegeta replied and then he focused his mind on the link he and Goku shared. 'Kkchan, Roma's too big to be birthed naturally, so she has to be taken out. I'm gonna send enough energy into you to cause a numbing sensation then the medic will do the rest. Trust me?' the prince asked and Goku nodded.
'As long as it doesn't involve a needle, anything,' Goku replied through the link.
Vegeta chuckled. Kakarrot's fear of needles was one thing about the big ape that always made the prince laugh. 'You big baby. Close your eyes and just concentrate on the heat from my hand,' Vegeta instructed as he held his hand over Goku's abdomen and emitted a blue-white light into the area.
"He'll need a local to numb the area, sir. Shall I proceed?" the medic received a nod in the affirmative then took a syringe and injected it into the spot Vegeta was sending energy. "That should work in about five minutes, then we can extract your daughter," the medic smiled.
The prince nodded and decreased the energy he was sending forth then he returned to his perch over Goku's head, tucked his feet under Goku's shoulders, put the larger Saiyan's head in his lap and began to massage his koi's scalp in effort to relax him.
"You're spoiling me, my prince. I'll be glad when this child's brought forth, then I'm gonna pay you back," Goku attempted a tired smirk.
"Oh, you think? Teresahan was a lucky shot, but then again, it's as the saying goes: love conquers all. In order for me to have had her, I had to have loved you from the start," Vegeta whispered into Goku's ear.
"Geta, may I ask you something real personal?" Goku asked as he further relaxed into the massage.
"We're mates now, love, you can ask anything you like. I'll deem whether or not it's too personal. Heh, heh, even if it were you could always find out. Ask away, mi amour," Vegeta sighed as he continued to massage Goku's scalp.
"Did you ever give birth during those years?" Goku slurred as he relaxed.
Vegeta didn't pretend to not know to what the larger Saiyan was referring, the question was how to answer him with their parents around and the others.
"I'll answer that, little brother. Between the three of us, we probably birthed that disgusting creature twenty halflings, many died because our blood didn't mix well with his. Our prince was his favorite play toy, and when that demon found it only took three months (Earth time, 1.5 month Saiyan time) to achieved what usually took six (Earth months) under normal circumstances, he made sure to have one of us with his spawn. After we birthed them, Zarbon or Dodoria would take the infant away and tell us that it had died during childbirth. Good riddance in some cases, then there were the ones we pushed out for either Zarbon or Dodoria," it was Raditz with the explanation.
The no Ouji looked up with surprised black eyes. "What? I never pushed one for Dodoria! Zarbon, yes, and when freeze face wasn't around, that blue freak took me to see the result before he sent them to a contact of his. They didn't turn out half bad but the fact was, they were still half blood," the prince hissed, the subject being a sore one to broach.
"You should have seen the monstrosities I pushed out for that pink Humpty Dumpty thing! Talk about hideous! I wanted to kill the things rather than release them on the universe! I hope they placed them on planets so far out in the universe, not even Bayroot can find them," Raditz hissed then his eyes gleamed as if he thought of something. "Vegeta...
"They're here and they're ok. I checked on them before we left to take care of the bane of our existence. Aegar's raising them as if they were his own but he always tells them of their origin," Vegeta smirked.
Goku might not have been a genius by Saiyan standards, but he put two and two together and came up with the result that Vegeta and Raditz had mated. The thought sickened and saddened the larger Saiyan and suddenly, Goku did not want the Ouji to touch him.
"Vegeta, stop, please. I-I'll deliver her myself," Goku sniffed and closed himself against the prince.
Vegeta glared at him. "No, I will not have this from you, koi! You are my chosen one! Raditz was attempting to save me from Frieza but it backfired and he sent the two of them on a purge mission then he punished me like he had never done before. Unlike his two stooges, he would not put me in a tank. That's why I'm under tall and that's why my body looks like a war zone. Don't do this to me, Kk, I need you and I don't care who hears it! I need you and I've chosen you," Vegeta fought to control his emotions at the thought of losing his brother bond with the larger Saiyan.
"It was only necessity, Kakarrot, that dictated we mate. I never knew he and I were close brothers and really could not mate in the same sense you and he have done. Little brother, Kakarrot, he does need you. He never was the brave, strong prince he put forth. Proud, yes, ruthless, yes, brave, no, strong, not at all. We protected him until we had been sent into the other dimension then we watched and knew the two of you would end up together. Kakarrot, I could never have had what he so willingly has given to you even if I purged the entire universe and gave it to him as a play toy. You have his heart and that he has never given to any one, except Ceraina, her majesty and the twins. He gave pieces to his offspring but you have the whole thing and all he did was look into your eyes that day, one year after I had died. I knew he wouldn't wish me back because I'd be a hindrance to him and bar him from his true soul mate, my other little brother. Protect him, Kakarrot, he is the crown of the Saiya-jin," Raditz assured his youngest brother.
"Besides, slow wit, you already know both your nephew and near son, and now you know their true parentage. You know Ditzu was born from Bardock. It must be that weak human influence clouding your Saiyan nature," the prince smirked then a wail pierced the room.
"She's here!" Celerion announced and he withdrew a chimp as large as the prince's biceps and a tail just as big.
All eyes looked to the medic who held the squirming bundle. The emotion was uncontrollable and all those in the room burst into tears of happiness. Both grand parents and uncles gathered around as the medic cleaned out the baby's mouth then handed her to the prince.
"Still want nothing to do with me? Could you raise this little powerhouse yourself?" Vegeta asked in soft tones as he pulled on the life cord.
Goku hung his head then gave it a quick shake. "Heh, you know me, Vegeta, I speak before I think. You are the world to me and this little one just shows what I feel for you in my heart. I was just shocked but I shouldn't have been that was the human Son Goku side of me that can't deal with being a Saiyan. Kakarrot, the Saiyan prince's mate and protector, understands. Forgive me, mi koi?" the large Saiyan, asked as he fingered the baby's thick fox-like tail.
The prince smirked in the fashion that melted Goku into a quivering mass and nodded then drew a section of the life cord to his mate's lips. "Bite, mi amour. Everyone, we all know what to do," the prince nodded.
Bite the life cord that was sick! Goku's human mind screamed at him but his instincts screamed louder and he opened his mouth, let his mate bring a piece to his lips then bit down to sever the link between his body and the baby in his mate's arms. Vegeta, grandparents, Kayla, Kale, Ceraina, Tormatanna and uncles followed suit. Aquachest then left the proud daddy duo, the grandparents, the uncles and the others to lap the infant clean of the substance that had sustained her life for the last six months while in incubation. It was Saiyan tradition and a custom in many tribal societies that the birth substance be licked up by the family to show the child was acceptable, however, those gathered did not completely lick the baby clean as the siblings were to complete that task.
Aquachest re-entered the birthing room followed by eight siblings, eleven nieces and nephews and two sisters-in-law. All stopped off to take a bite of the life cord except Cilvi who had never partaken in any Saiyan ritual other than trying to beat one another into the ground. The elder prince explained the ritual to his second daughter who then followed the other younger Saiya-jin then they all turned to the baby to join their oral enzymes with those of the parents in marking the new arrival as a member of the royal house of Vegeta. Following the bathing of the newest arrival, the medic proceeded to sew his patient together after he had removed the membrane in which the infant had floated during her development. That membrane was then placed in a pan, taken to the kitchen and given to the cook. Ceraina and Kayla then took the baby from her dads. It was common practice that the female mates of dual mated males suckle the child for the first three months of its life. Thus, Kayla being the mate of the birth male would suckle the chimp first then Ceraina would do the same. They took the baby and brought her to the queen who then wrapped her in a royal purple blanket with gold fringe and the royal crest of Vegeta embroidered on it. The blanket was constructed from velvet and satin, with satin being next to the infant's skin and caused the tyke to whimper when she was enfolded into it.
"Heaven help us when she lets out a cry to the rafters! We'll have to find new planets to inhabit," Vegeta Ouji remarked with a snicker as he lay beside his mate.
"Explain, my son," the king requested as he assisted in wrapping his new granddaughter in the royal seal.
"Only that she was born a Femzoro Saiyan, making her as dangerous as the eight of us here now," the prince nodded then turned his attention to two young warriors who were his and Raditz' mirror images. He smiled and nodded. "My boys, welcome! So glad you could be here to welcome the newest Princess Vegeta," he addressed the two who bowed in greeting as the prince sat up and got off the bed to greet the boys properly with a bow and a hug.
"Outusan, Uncle Kakarrot, how are you both and who are all these Saiya-jin? One resembles Poppa Raditz!" one of the images remarked.
"That's because he is, Rageta, my son. Vegetzu, meet your birth dad, Raditz," the prince introduced the two young men to Raditz and their grandparents.
The boys' mouths fell open then they looked and found another image of the only parent they had ever known as well as two images of their Uncle Kakarrot. This could not be, hadn't Vegeta and Kakarrot both told the boys on their visits to Minerva that Raditz and their granddads had been killed many ages ago? Raditz by a Namek when he went to retrieve Kakarrot for a mission and the king and Bardock when Frieza blew up the planet Vegeta.
"Dad, I-I thought---!"
"They were, my sons, but I had assisted the Supreme Kai of the Inner Universe with destroying one of those beings we blew up earlier. I repented of the evil I had done to the Universe as a slave for Frieza and I wished that all the lives I had ever taken be restored along with all the Saiya-jin who had died when our home world was destroyed. I also wished for other Saiya-jin to be restored, which brought back your dad, granddads, Broli, Paragus and Nappa," the prince explained.
The boys slowly approached the large Saiyan who was taken aback at seeing his sons for the first time since their births, then the three fell into strong bear hugs, unable to control the emotions that burst forth at their reunion.
Cilvi stood shocked at the entire show. Daddy had never mentioned any other brothers to her! She was just getting used to Endive and the fact that her natural brother was the prince's heir. Now she was face to face with two young men who were the prince's exact doubles with knee length spiked black hair.
"Daddy, what's to become of Geta and me? Are we still your kids, too?" the little blue-haired Saiyan asked and the prince knelt to address her on her level, with some difficulty, thus his two elder sons and Raditz assisted him.
"What did I tell you when Endive and his mother arrived? I have enough love in me for all of you. Ok, so, I didn't tell you about your older brothers, and I did say that Trunks Vegeta was my eldest and my heir, which he will have to fight your elder brothers for, but neither Rageta nor Vegetzu can be named my heirs unless the king sanctions such can occur. A female must bring any heir to the throne of Vegeta forth. You're still my little warrior and my little princess as is the baby. Terray is my big girl. Rageta and Vegetzu are my big boys like Endive is my baby boy. You and Trunks unfortunately are my middle children; however, I love you no less than I had when I took care of you during the first three months of your lives. Don't be jealous, love, that's an emotion and only leads to anger. I should know," Vegeta looked up at the now sleeping form of his mate, then he looked to Celerion. "Put him in a tank. He'll need his strength for the celebration and battle later." Vegeta lifted Cilvi in his arms. "How would you like to take the Earth-jin shopping? Now we can do it as an entire family!" he smiled at the little one, who nodded vigorously as the boys and Raditz helped the prince back onto his feet then moved away to get better acquainted. 'God, now I know why I hate being the birth parent! It's so trying on one's small figure,' the prince thought to himself.
"I'm sorry, daddy, I didn't mean to get jealous. Can I go talk to Rageta and Vegetzu?" Cilvi asked and the prince put her down to do just that. Little Endive had already engaged in that very activity along with Teresahan. Trunks and Goten along with their brood also huddled around the two boys, as they hadn't seen them since Vegeta had brought them all to Minerva almost four years before his accidents.
Vegeta turned to look at his handsome mate. Sighing in contentment, he placed a hand on the sleeping Saiyan's face, Vegeta smiled. "You did a wonderful job, mi koi. I love you and thank you for the most beautiful daughters Saiya's ever seen. I'll be here to take you to the celebration, and then you can beat me into the ground for causing you to endure such pain. Rest easy, mi amour. Je t'ieme," he said and leaned to kiss Goku's tempting lips that were parted in slumber. 'I'll be delivering this football quarterback very soon,' the prince smirked as he winced in discomfort.
After orderlies had wheeled the prince's male amour to the healing room, the prince gathered all his offspring and their children then left the room himself to go greet the humans.
In the waiting area, the humans had either fallen asleep or grew angry because no one bothered to give them a play by play. They couldn't watch television because they couldn't understand the language.
"I swear, that runt's gonna rue the day he inflicted this torture on my poor Goku. I'd like to see him go through what my poor Goku is. I bet he couldn't live through it!" Chichi seethed.
"You'll be surprised what you can live through. I've pushed my share of brats into the universe, woman, and I'm about to do so for the same Saiyan male I had my eldest daughter for," a voice hissed from behind Chichi and she turned with a start.
"'Vegeta! What--!" the black haired woman lost not only the color in her face but her voice as well.
Bulma's mouth flapped open in disbelief as she stared at two other images of the prince along with a ravishing female image of her beloved Goku. "V-Vegeta...Who..."
Vegeta held a hand to silence her. "My twins are named Rageta and Vegetzu. Rageta's 'Outusan' is Kakarrot's and my elder brother, Raditz. I am Vegetzu's Outusan. The female Kakarrot is named Teresahan and her Outusan is Kakarrot. I pushed both of them into the universe. Raditz pushed the other. Terray was the last one I was able to deliver, so out of all my brats, she's my young queen," Vegeta smiled, turned and kissed the young female who lay her head against his arm. 'Soon I'll be presenting Kakarrot with another,' the prince smiled as he held his eldest daughter and caressed his rotund abdomen.
"Hold on, mister, I did not go through fifty hours of labor trying to have Bura for you to throw her away!" Bulma seethed and got up from her seat to challenge the prince.
Rageta stepped between his dad and the blue haired woman as did Vegetzu, Teresahan, Trunks, Cilvi and Endive. "You want a piece of our Outusan, you'll have to come through us, to do it!" the elder image of Vegeta snarled then a growl was heard, which signaled unrest.
"Rage` (soft 'g' sound), stand down, my son. She cannot hurt me. We are on Saiya-jin territory. She and all these with her are the aliens," the prince smirked and took his son's tail, stroked it and the boy calmed considerably. "I had come to invite you on a shopping spree, but-"
"A shopping spree! You? You hate shopping, oh, wait, that was when we were together. What's the deal?" Bulma asked.
"I don't care, what the deal is, I'm going. This is my first time on a foreign planet and I intend to enjoy myself. Marron, Krillin, you can stay behind if you want, but I'm going," 18 smiled and moved to join the prince.
"You heard your mother, Marron, let's go. Besides, I like Vegeta when he's like this. You two, Bulma, Chichi, need to lighten up. X-team, let's go," Krillin nodded, then got up to follow his wife.
Bulma sighed. There was no winning. Looking at Chichi the two nodded in silent agreement and prepared to go wherever the Saiyan prince led. Pan and Videl were also present but the elder woman ignored Gohan where the younger one fell into his arms.
"I'll give you all two hours to get yourselves together. We'll meet in the main courtyard and depart from there. Algernon, show the Earth-jin to the guest quarters to prepare. Children," the prince nodded, turned with his small army and Raditz and left the guard to show the guests from Earth where they would be staying.
"Poppa Vegeta-san, would it be improper for me to take Outusan to go spar?" Vegetzu asked the prince.
"It is right that you do so, however, be in shape for tonight's festivities. I expect nothing less than Super Saiyan three strength from the two of you. Trageta, Rageta, Goten, Gohan, Endive, kids, if you all wish to join them, don't let me stop you. You females, too, if you so desire. You can find me at the healing center with Uncle Kakarrot," Vegeta said in the smooth haughty tones of the well bred.
Those that Vegeta had named bowed and left the group to go spar.
"Gohan, Goten, get your butts back here at once!" Chichi screamed at the retreating backs of her sons and their chosen mates. Then she rounded on Vegeta and flew to attack him.
Seeing the enraged female, the prince sidestepped her attack. "What's eating you, woman? The boys are no longer demi-Saiya-jin but full-blooded Saiya-jin, as are my own born from your friend there due to a mutation in their blood. Little by little they will pull away from the weak Earth ways they had been taught and embrace who and what they truly are. Come, my daughters. If you all desire to come with us, I have no complaints, just be on your best behavior," the prince admonished and left with his daughters to prepare for he shopping trip.
"Daddy, why was that black haired woman gonna attack you?" Teresahan asked as she carried her little sister to the healing center were her other dad was in the healing tank.
"Oh, she's hated daddy ever since he put Daddy K in the hospital the first time I met him when Nappa and I first invaded Earth many years ago. She's the one who kept him thinking he was a human as did Cilvi and Trageta's mother," the prince replied as he checked the readings on his mate's tank. He smiled and pulled a pallet over to the tank then lay down in front of the machine.
"Daddy K's handsome, isn't he, daddy? I'm gonna love my new sister just like I do Cilvi," Terray smiled as she lay her sleeping little sister on the pallet on Vegeta's right side as she lay on the prince's left.
Just then, Kayla and Ceraina entered the healing room with their little bundle, who they placed on the prince's chest then went to find space to rest on the pallet as well. Any male watching would envy the prince because he was surrounded by five of the most gorgeous female creatures ever to grace the universe. After finding comfortable positions, the elder females embraced the two younger ones and the entire family drifted off to another galaxy.
