***

Radditzu enjoyed the feel of her thighs wrapped around his hips, her tail moving to twist around his arm. His own found a place around her waist, as he rolled her over so he could lie beneath her. Fingers twined together, and they were together in bliss. Cries of the lusty couple next to them only served to spur them on at a greater pace, to see who could cause the most pleasure to their mates.

 

Midway through the kiss she sensed something, and tensed. Radditzu mumbled against her lips, "What's wrong love?"

 

"I sense we're not alone…"

 

"Of course we're not, kid,' said Cabernet in a low sated voice.

 

"No I mean I sense ki…"

 

"Your imagination," said Cabernet.

 

"No, she's right," said Nappa with disgust. "The prince taught us how to sense ki without the scouters. Pretty damn handy at a time like this…"

 

"How many?" asked Radditzu.

 

"Four at least…" she whispered.

 

Nappa and Cabernet glanced up, fifty feet away on the sand nearby. "Who the hell would it be at this time?" asked Cabernet in the ensuing silence. Each wave was magnified as it washed up on the shore.

 

"Uninvited is who they are," Nappa mumbled. "Goddamnit isn't there a place on this stupid rock pile I can be alone?"

 

"Apparently not," Radditzu said, his gaze darkening. Protectively he cradled Atomique on his lap, sitting up. Sand fell from his shoulders as he struggled to remember how Bejita had taught him to sense ki.

 

"I need my fricking scouter," Cabernet mumbled. She and Nappa untangled themselves and stumbled up the beach to retrieve their belongings. Thankfully they had stashed them in the safety of a pile of nearby rocks so the sand kicked about didn't bury them.

 

"What are you two waiting for? Move it and get dressed!" Nappa barked at them.

 

"If someone hadn't thrown my armor in the middle of the fricking woods…" she groaned, head aching with Nappa's loud voice.

 

"Don't worry, I retrieved it last night," Radditzu mumbled. "Just before the moon set… before you woke up…"

 

"You had me going you jerk," she groaned as he dropped her belongings to the sand. He struggled to get his own armor on, and then helped her with hers. Still she was unfamiliar with the fastenings. Cabernet grumbled as she punched the buttons on her scouter, and tried to get a good reading.

 

"Four all right and they're headed right for us… shit… this is great… it must be those Z senshi…" said Cabernet.

 

"I thought the Prince had gotten them off our backs!" Nappa cursed.

 

"You just HAD to go ape so close to West Central!" Radditzu complained.

 

"Don't bitch to me, third class! You enjoyed fucking around under the moon just as much as WE did!" Nappa yelled. "Dammit!"

 

"Uh guys shouldn't we get the hell out of here?" asked Atomique quietly.

 

"Good idea," said Radditzu.

 

"I don't run from weaklings," Cabernet mumbled.

 

"These ones you do, unless you want the Prince pissed. We're supposed to be nice to the ningen… remember?"

 

"Oh yeah, what a pain in the ass," Cabernet said with disgust. At the feral look in her eyes, Atomique shivered.

 

"Let's just… get out of here," Atomique said, hugging herself as she leapt into the air. "I don't want anyone to see me right now…"

 

"Guess you don't care much for the ningens any more then we do, huh kid?" asked Cabernet with a look of confusion.

 

"There's no shame in what we did, love. We were minding our own business," Radditzu told her. "And we didn't smash anything inhabited so why should they complain…"

 

"I don't know…" she growled irritably. Nappa and Cabernet rocketed off into the air a hundred yards apart from the two third class Saiyans. Both of them were grumbling to themselves in that same language she struggled to comprehend, and eerily found more and easier to do so.

 

A curse formed on her lips that she'd heard Radditzu use, and she put a hand over her mouth when she heard Nappa burst out laughing. "What?" she said.

 

"Your mate just said her first Saiyanese word, and it was a colorful one," Nappa teased.

 

"Shut the hell up," Radditzu shot back.

 

"What did I say?"

 

"You called someone a tail ^&*#," said Cabernet. "I think you meant tail humper… right?"

 

"Either way it's appropriate," Nappa laughed.

 

"Oh Kami, I'm not here, I'm not here," she flushed in embarrassment and indignation.

 

"One of the energy readings reminds me of the green man," Radditzu mumbled, glancing at the individual power levels.

 

"The Namekian you mean? He's sniffing after us?" asked Nappa. "What's his trip? He jealous of the fact we can fuck and he can't?"

 

"Don't be an imbecile, he's probably suspicious of us doing what comes natural," Radditzu answered over his scouter link. "I'd hoped my brother had informed him of what was to happen, but apparently he didn't heed what Kakkarot said…"

 

"What DID you tell Kakkarot?" asked Nappa.

 

"That we were participating in special Saiyajin mating rituals and we weren't to be disturbed," said Radditzu quickly. "And that the lands of Capsule property weren't to be disturbed or observed for the next forty eight hours…"

 

"Dip shit, that made them even MORE suspicious," Cabernet cursed.

 

"I'm sensing the cue ball and the baseball bishonen," said Nappa. "They're with him. And the tin can sex doll of Baldie's…"

 

"That's 18," Atomique corrected him.

 

"Whatever. She's one hot property, that lucky son of a bitch. Why couldn't the Prince have made us some of those… we'd have made a killing…" Nappa said.

 

"Save it for your mate!" Atomique glared at him.

 

"I'll punish him later, don't you worry, whelp," Cabernet laughed.

 

"Spare me the sick mental image," Radditzu mumbled to himself.

 

"After all, he should talk. Her twin brother 17's rather sweet himself. If he's going to even bring that up I'll just mention…" Cabernet said.

 

"Don't make me throw up please…" Atomique moaned, hugging her stomach. This earned a laugh from Nappa and a low growl from Radditzu.

 

***

Once they landed, Nappa and Cabernet strode into the Saiyan compound dome, or as they called it, the Barracks. Atomique and Radditzu touched down a few seconds later, but hesitated. Concerned about his mate's emotional funk, Radditzu flickered his tail across the back of her legs teasingly. "Tomique, what's soured your mood?"

 

"Can you guess? I don't like having to sneak around…" she murmured. "I'm so scared that they'll see what I've become and take my children away…"

 

"That you're Saiyan?" he asked slowly. "I see. Your concern is warranted, considering the reputation that I and my comrades have on this world. After what our doppelgangers in this reality did to the Z fighters, I'm not surprised they still harbor hatred for us."

 

"Krillen, Piccolo and Yamucha especially hate you," said Atomique. "Now if they see me…"

 

"My brother's also Saiyan," said Radditzu. "And he vouches for both of us. I can't say for Nappa and Cabernet. If they choose to act like barbarians still under Freiza's employ it's no fault of ours."

 

"But it reflects poorly on Saiyans in general. Including your Prince. You don't want to dishonor him do you?" she asked.

 

"No. You're right love. We must make certain those two don't jeopardize our position here. I have grown accustomed to this small world, and I find I don't wish to leave," said Radditzu.

 

"As much as Nappa pisses me off, he's accepted me for what I've become. And I'd hate for Bejita to have to kill him in this reality… if he stepped out of line," said Atomique.

 

"With his mate here, he won't," said Radditzu. "She alone kept him under control. After she was supposedly killed he went insane. The bond termination does that… somehow the bond they shared was severed, because Cabernet suffered a head injury. But in the time that she languished with the Destroyers, it must have healed enough…"

 

"For the bond to be reconnected?" she asked.

 

"Yes," Radditzu nodded. Both glanced skywards when their scouters simultaneously registered high power levels of 10,000 or more. Although she had sensed it a microsecond before, she had been distracted by her emotional low.

 

"It's Goku," she said.

 

"Kakkarot here?" he wondered, seeing her hug her shivering body. Protectively he moved to stand close to her, baring his teeth slightly in frustration. Why was she upset he wondered, when they had marvelous mating the night before and she'd had a taste of her Oorzu form. She'd done very well for her first time, Radditzu proudly thought. Now it had all been spoiled by the intrusion of these ningens.

 

"Hey, Radditzu!" Goku called as he dropped to a landing. Both Bohr and Fermi rested on his shoulders. Atomique tensed in sudden fear, but Radditzu strode forwards to meet his brother. Placing her protectively behind him he closed the gap to meet Goku halfway across the lawn.

 

"Brother, greetings. It's been two days since we last saw one another. Are you well?"

 

"Yep, I see you two guys are getting along. Brought these two kiddos to say hi to…"

 

"Mommy!" Bohr and Fermi called, sliding down from Goku's shoulder.

 

"Hi Radditzu-san," called Fermi, inclining his head. "Is our mom okay?"

 

"She's hiding right behind him, are you playing hide and go seek, Mommy?" asked Bohr, dodging around Radditzu's leg to see her.

 

"Hi…" she said, nervously looking down at her son holding his arms out. "I've missed you so much…"

 

Dropping to one knee she held her arms out, relieved when Bohr jumped right into them. Armor and all he hugged her tightly around the neck, rubbing his face against her cheek. "Mommy, why are you hiding? Are you sad about something?"

 

"Is Mommy okay? Why is she hiding behind Uncle Radditzu?" asked Fermi, glancing up at him.

 

"Something scared her," said Radditzu quietly, getting down on one knee to look Fermi in the eye. "She's gone through some changes. And she was a bit nervous about how you two young warriors would take seeing her in her armor…"

 

"She's training to be a warrior, just like you, Son-kun san said," Bohr said. Fermi lifted his arms to indicate Radditzu should pick him up. Glancing at Son Goku, Radditzu looked for confirmation. He got his answer when he saw Son Goku nodded with a small smile. Boosting Fermi up, Radditzu settled the boy on his armored hip and faced Atomique. She was kissing Bohr on the side of the cheek and squeezing him tightly.

 

"How are you making out?" asked Son Goku.

 

"It's been… difficult," she said carefully.

 

"Mom you don't look so good. Are you feeling sick?" asked Fermi.

 

"Something's a little different bout you mommy, an' I'm not sure what," Bohr answered, fingering her hair. "Your hair's all funny. It's kinda like Mr. Funny man an' Uncle Radditzu's…"

 

"I need to speak to you, Kakkarot," said Radditzu quietly. "Go stand with your mother, young one… I think she requires your protection…"

 

"Mommy you look like you need a hug," Fermi said. Bohr nodded.

 

"You can put me down Mommy, its okay," said Bohr. Yet she had leaned down and gathered her other twin to rest on her other hip with little effort so both of them were cradled in her arms. Fermi wrapped his arms around her neck, giving her cheek a kiss. Both of them wore bright orange karate gi with blue shirts underneath, and patches on the back bearing the Son family name. Just like Goten and Gohan they were learning Son Karate along with Kame-sennen. Their small bodies were nicely filling out with muscle. Why had they failed to notice the tail, she wondered? After all, their knees were right next to it because she had them straddling both her armored hips.

 

"Don't be sad Mommy; Son-kun-san said you'd look all different in that armor. Why are you crying? Was it something we did?" asked Fermi.

 

"No, it was nothing you did," she whispered, hugging them. She feared she'd crack their ribs, but felt the force of their arms squeezing tightly that would have choked her if she'd been human.

 

"Wow Mommy you're strong!" Bohr laughed. "Where'd you get the big muscles like Auntie Chichi?"

 

"Mom's been working out in a hyper gravity chamber, that's why," she laughed, letting Fermi wipe away her tears.

 

"Are you and Uncle Radditzu married? Were you scared we'd be sad about that?" asked Bohr.

 

"Yes… that was it," she said.

 

"I like Uncle Radditzu. He's brave and strong like Son-kun-san," said Fermi. "After all they're brothers, right? Like Gohan-san and Goten-kun…"

 

"Yep, and us," Bohr nodded.

 

"I guess you're right. It's hard to believe sometimes. Where's Gohan and Videl?" asked Atomique nervously.

 

"They're at a martial arts exposition with Satan-san," Fermi piped in. "Gohan-san's with her. Son-kun-san said he ironed it all out and Videl-sama's daddy is cool with them getting married…"

 

"Thank Kami," she sighed in intense relief.

 

"You got a big bite on your neck like Videl-sama, and Auntie Chichi… so you must be married," Bohr fingered the mark barely visible through her neck armor.

 

"That's the Saiyan way of showing two people are married, you mean," Fermi corrected him.

 

"Is that why you're growing a little brother and sister in your stomach? Because Uncle Radditzu bit you?" asked Bohr.

 

"WHAT?" she gasped. "No, you don't get pregnant if someone BITES you!"

 

"Silly, that's NOT how Auntie Chichi said babies were made! C'mon!" Fermi groaned.

 

"Oh, the chicken and rooster story, right," Bohr nodded. "Oops."

 

"How could you tell?" she asked.

 

"Silly Mommy we sensed their ki," said Fermi with a grin. "And now I'm gonna have a little brother and sister to play with…"

 

"So much for the surprise," she groaned weakly.

 

"Will they have a tail like Uncle Radditzu?" asked Bohr. "And just like yours?"

 

"And you thought girls didn't grow tails?" asked Fermi. Atomique flinched and stammered.

 

"How did you do it? Was it your alchemy?" asked Bohr.

 

"Yes," she nodded.

 

"But Auntie Chichi didn't grow a tail when she had Gohan and Goten did she?" asked Fermi.

 

"It's cause Mommy's an alchemist and she can do anything!" laughed Bohr. "Did you grow a tail so you could be like Uncle Radditzu and fight our enemies?"

 

"You aren't surprised?" asked Atomique. "I may look different outside…"

 

"But you're still Mommy inside," Fermi shook his head. "Your ki's a little more like Son-kun-san's and Uncle Radditzu's."

 

Atomique couldn't fight back tears of joy and relief. Both boys hugged her and gave her a kiss on either cheek. She narrowed her eyes to try and overhear what Radditzu and Goku were talking about. Glancing over Radditzu's shoulder she saw Goku's expression was fixed into a worried frown. Every so often he nodded. Carrying her sons she strode forwards, coughing.

 

"Is this a private conversation or can I join in?" she asked.

 

"Love, it's a man to man talk…" said Radditzu.

 

"Bull puckey. If it's about what happened last night…" she trailed off.

 

"Piccolo saw four great apes rampaging around," Son Goku said quietly. "I tried to keep him away, but he wouldn't listen."

 

"Shimatta," she gasped, growing weak. Radditzu and Goku moved over to grab the twins from her as she staggered.

 

"And what does this mean?" asked Radditzu sternly.

 

"They're worried…." Said Son Goku. "Not about you, Atomique… I know you're worried because I saw you grow a tail. But Radditzu… can she control it?"

 

"That's what I was trying to teach her, Brother," said Radditzu impatiently.

 

"I was worried that this would happen… now your friends will assume the worst," Atomique said.

 

"No, they know that you would NEVER do anything to hurt us," Son Goku said firmly.

 

"Why are they so sure? Most of them hate Radditzu and Nappa… and now Cabernet…" said Atomique accusingly.

 

"Hey, calm down. I'm Saiyan too," Goku shook his head. "And they know that Bejita can change…"

 

"Do they?" asked Radditzu seriously. "In all honesty, Tomique-chan has every right to be suspicious, and so do they. I wouldn't blame them…"

 

"No, but you're my BROTHER," said Son Goku. "You've got a family, and two more children. I should know how that can change someone…"

 

"Unfortunately I don't think they'll share that optimism," said Atomique sadly.

 

"I don't care," Son Goku said firmly. "You're part of my family. All of you. No matter what anyone else says…"

 

"You're far too naïve and accepting Brother," said Radditzu. "But I thank you all the same."

 

"I'm serious," Goku said, and then reached into the bag slung around his shoulder. "I'd been meaning to give this to you sooner, but Chichi said you needed some proper workout clothes the next time you and I spar together… so here you go… I hope she got the size right…"

 

"How… thoughtful," Radditzu mumbled as he accepted the neatly folded orange bundle from his younger brother. The colors were identical, and the patch on the back of the sleeveless top bore the Son name written in Chinese characters. Goku could tell that Radditzu was floored because he saw the hard expression in his dark eyes soften a bit.

 

"What did Piccolo say?" asked Atomique.

 

"I claimed full responsibility for both of you," said Son Goku. "That's all. You don't have to worry…"

 

"They're afraid I'll somehow purge this planet or something?" Radditzu snorted. "Really Brother, I can hardly damage the home that I've come to appreciate for my mate and family."

 

"Wow, that's the first time I heard you call this place home," said Son Goku with a smile.

 

"Bejita gave no orders for this world to be harmed in any way. It's his home, and yours. Why should I wish to destroy it?" asked Radditzu angrily. "Or is it Nappa they fear?"

 

"In all honesty…" trailed off Son Goku.

 

"They're idiots, the lot of them," Bejita said. Again they spun around to see the Saiyan no Ouji hovering overhead.

 

"How does he DO that?" she muttered. "No wait don't tell me… Saiyan hearing…"

 

"Sire…" Radditzu said, inclining his head. Atomique did the same.

 

"Hey Bejita… I guess you heard it all huh?" Goku asked.

 

"Your loser friends can't mind their own damn business, can they?" Bejita asked. "Well they should, because why the fuck should I wish to destroy this planet when I LIVE on it?"

 

"Bejita it's no big deal…"

 

"You can tell your loser friends that if they have any issues with Saiyans they should speak to ME!" Bejita snapped hotly. "As far as I checked I'm the Prince, not Piccolo!"

 

"I'll let them know, Bejita. But you might wanna find some other place for them to practice their transformations…" said Goku.

 

"I shall. Now, is there any other pressing business you came here for you clown or will you stop disturbing my warriors?" asked Bejita.

 

"I was just bringing the twins to see their Mom. Or is that against the rules?"

 

"It isn't, but she must go back to it soon. I could have the Woman's caretaker look after them so they are here…" said Bejita.

 

"No, I'll take 'em, I was just gonna give 'em a lesson or two anyway… it's no problem," Goku said cheerfully. Radditzu was still holding Fermi on his hip while Goku held Bohr. Fermi grabbed fistfuls of Radditzu's mane, tugging playfully on them.

 

"Do we gotta go?" asked Fermi.

 

"Yes," said Goku quietly. "Don't worry; when I see Piccolo I'll give him your message…"

 

"See that you do," said Bejita. "Now say goodbye and be quick about it. I need to speak to my warriors as soon as possible…"

 

"Sire," nodded Radditzu and Atomique before Bejita flew off towards the GR chamber facility.
