Part Seventeen: End Result of Choices Made

Somehow, it was WORSE than he could have imagined. Pain encompasses every part of him until he's pretty sure that he's going to lose what is left of his sanity. Another cry of pain escapes him and he finds himself inwardly cursing the bastard responsible for this whole damn mess. "I know it hurts," Fasha tells him, "but you're almost through."

"F-FUCK YOU!" he grits out.

She laughs softly. "Well, I warned you it would be BAD, brat."

"Th-this is a little more than BAD!" he snarls before another contraction has him gasping out in agony.

"I know, I know...but you'll be alright. Trust me."

He wasn't sure why anyone would want to go THROUGH this because it was damn-god BAD. 'Never again,' he thinks, 'I don't care what I have to do...NEVER again.' He just wished the bastard responsible for his current state could feel what he was going through. It would serve him right.

For what seems like an eternity to the male but encompasses six hours, pain radiates through the core of his being until it nearly encompasses his universe...then vanishes. A piercing wail fills the house and THAT gets his attention. Panting and sweat-soaked, he blearily watches as Fasha gently wraps a blanket around a writhing bundle. "Congratulations," she says softly, "You have a son, Raditz."

Everything leading up to this point vanishes in that moment as Fasha gently sets the small squirming form in his arms. The moment the child is set and gazes up at him, the wailing dies down. Raditz gazes down at his son and feels a surge of fierce pride and protectiveness. "Ah, kiddo, he's beautiful," Tora murmurs stepping beside the bed and gazing down at him. "Looks, too, like he's gonna have his mother's hair...lucky him."

Raditz finds himself laughing softly at that. "He's perfect."

"So..." Fasha starts softly.

He gazes down at the child he carried a moment. "Braiden, meet your grandfather Tora and your godparent Fasha."

Fasha smiles. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Braiden. Good luck, kid...you're gonna need it."

"I don't think it's Braiden who is gonna need the luck," Tora comments, "however, I need to go and tell Bardock and Jyel they are grandparents."

*****POV Change****

"There is an incoming message."

"Put it through," the king commands knowing what it had to be.

A moment later, the screen lights up. "Well, good morning," Tora greets.

"You look like you've been through a war," comes the amused reply.

"Then you should see 'Ditz," he counters.

"How is he?" Bardock immediately asks.

"Tired," Tora replies, "but that's to be expected for the last six hours."

"So..." Jyel prods.

Tora chuckles. "Impatient are you?"

"TORA!" the group snaps.

"Fine, fine. His name is Braiden...and he's healthy."

"When can we see him?" Kakarot asks.

"I'll talk to Raditz after a couple of days about coming back...but for now, I think a little private bonding will do both mother and son some good. How is...the father of the child?"

"Asleep," Jyel says quietly.

"He gave you no choice?"

"No...but I can't keep him under forever, Tora."

"I understand...and I am sure that Raditz does, too."

"How has it been?" Bardock asks.

Tora smiles. "It's OUR eldest, 'Dock. It's fine. However...he's asked if...things get complicated if you and I will take care of Braiden."

"Does he think it will come down to that?"

"'Dock, he's never had high hopes for his relationship...he just wants to make sure his son is cared for and protected...because at his current spot, he's pretty sure Braiden is going to be the ONLY one between the two of them who will love him."

"Which doesn't please me to know."

"I know that, 'Dock, but I gave him our word that we would."

"Don't WE get a say?" Jyel asks obviously meaning the king as well.

"You understand why he would ask 'Dock and I FIRST, Jyel."

The redhead's mouth curves. "I know that. I like giving you a hard time, Tora."

"Hey, at least YOU get sex. I don't want to hear it."

Jyel flushes. "Jackass."

"Play nicely, you two," the king tells them though he's hiding a grin of his own.

"This is nice," Tora replies before his attention turns, "You...Fine...get over here."

A moment later, he moves sideways and Raditz appears. "'Ditz!" Kakarot says softly.

"Hey," he murmurs settling down.

"You shouldn't be moving about," Jyel tells him sternly.

"Funny, Fasha said the same thing."

"I mean it, Raditz, don't push too hard."

"I won't...I just wanted to see you guys." He looks down feeling Braiden squirm. He gently untangles him enough so that he could gaze at the screen.

"Oh...oh god, he's so CUTE!" Kakarot says gazing at his nephew.

"I am glad you approve, little brother," he murmurs.

"He's definitely gonna break hearts," Bardock comments.

"I pity you when he starts teething," Vegeta comments.

"Shut up, prince," Raditz tells him immediately. The spiky-haired male merely sticks his tongue out at him. "Yeah, real mature there, highness."

"I don't know where he gets that from," the king comments with a mock-sigh, "Heaven knows I raised him better."

Raditz laughs softly at that. "We don't know, either, sire." A moment later, his countenance goes seriously. "I heard something about Broly?"

"I warned my son that if he forced my hand he would spend the next months in acoma. He didn't listen."

"I am sorry, Jyel."

"So am I...but he gave me no choice."

"I...will return as soon as possible."

"Raditz," Bardock tells him, "You stay there for a few days. There is NO rush for you to come back here."

"I..."

"Son, I mean it."

"I've put you through enough as it is."

"Raditz, listen to your father," the king interrupts, "Besides, I think when it comes down to it, you win hands down on who has been put through more than enough."

"Still..."

"Still nothing. You rest and enjoy yourself for a few days," Bardock tells him.

A moment later, he's gently drawn up. "Enough. You, bed."

"But..."

"Go and tuck Braiden in and get some sleep yourself. You are going to need it."

"Yes, father," Raditz grumbles before stalking off.

Tora chuckles. "Kids these days."

"Yeah, well, we did a good job with both of them," Bardock replies.

"We sure did," Tora agrees.

"Make sure he stays there for a few days, Tora. We'll wait to meet Braiden in person. He should have this time with his son without interruptions."

"And how will you handle Broly?"

"You let US take care of that," Jyel says, "You just worry about those two."

"Will do," he says before adding, "Oh, and 'Dock...you SERIOUSLY owe me."

Bardock finds himself smiling slightly. "You got it, Tora. Take care of our son and grandson."

"Will do."

Once the transmission ends, Bardock's smile wanes. "How badly do you think it's going to go when Raditz comes back with Braiden?"

Jyel sighs. "You are going to want to take Braiden when Raditz goes to face Broly...and I am going to have to prepare a tank."

Bardock tenses. "Jyel..."

"You know I am right...and there is NOTHING that can be done about it. Somehow, I know Raditz understands this, too."

Bardock's jaw goes rigid. "I...seriously hate that brat."

"I know that, Bardock."

"No, I don't think you do."

*****POV Change*****

Sleep made him feel somewhat better. He slowly sits up and gazes at the sleeping infant. A smile curves at the corners of his mouth as he watches him. Braiden was adorable. However, the truth inevitably followed and brings a soft, distressed sound from him. He would have to go back to Vegeta-sei...and face his mate over his choices. That inevitability scared him more than anything. It was why he'd all but begged Tora to promise that he and Bardock would take care of Braiden. Broly was unforgiving on a GOOD day. Him having left almost a year ago was bound to just REALLY piss him off. He closes his eyes. 'Please,' he thinks desperately, 'please don't let this go badly. Let him let it go...PLEASE.' Unfortunately, the long-haired Saiyan is sure that nothing that is going to stop what was inevitably coming when he returned. However, as he stares at the tiny miracle, he finds himself accepting it as a price worth paying.

"You are thinking about it way too hard," Fasha chastises from the doorway.

"Unfortunately, as bad as I fear it's going to be...I am sure that the reality is going to be worse than even I could imagine," he replies bitterly.

"You shouldn't have to think like that."

"Well, look who I am mated to."

"You deserve so much better than this."

"That's what I thought...but sometimes the universe doesn't really give a damn now does it?"

"You really are too young to be this jaded."

"Blame what I've gone through for my disposition."

"Oh, believe me, we do."

"I...am grateful to you...for being here, Fasha."

"Where else do you think I would be?" she asks.

"Home."

"Bardock and I have been friends forever, Raditz. There is nothing I wouldn't do for him and his family."

"Still..."

"Still nothing. I am here with you because I want to be."

"It still never should have been asked."

"Well, it was and I accepted. See, that's the point, here, Raditz. Bardock ASKED this of me. I had a choice in this so YOU have no reason to apologize for whatever inconvience you think you are causing."
