Nine Month Hell

Kakkarot smiled down at his sleeping mate, the smile wilted a little as he thought about the dark place that he had been kept in for so long. Being trapped in the subconscious mind of Son Goku had to be the oddest thing in the world. The man had the mind of a child but the desire of a warrior. Still it was just pure luck that Prince Vegeta became his mate and became pregnant with his cub. That was just the opportunity Kakkarot needed to break free from his dark, bleak, and dismal prison.

"K-Kakkarot," Vegeta moaned in his sleep.

"I am still here my love, you will never have to worry about me leaving you," he whispered leaning down over his mate. 'At least as long as that humaniod oaf doesn't try to take over again' he thought to himself bitterly.

Vegeta easially slipped back into his dream state at those words. He knew that nothing bad was going to happen to him as long as Kakkarot was there to protect him. Suddenly he was jerked awake by a sudden loud pounding on the front door. He snarled and sat up in bed to come face to face with an angry Sayian. He swallowed thickly but knew that the anger wasn't directed towards him.

"How dare someone come here and disturb your nap! Stay here love, I'll go see who it is," Kakkarot snarled standing to his feet and making his way down the hallway to the front door.

"Goku!" Krillain called as he pounded on the door again.

"What in the seven hells do you want?!" Kakkarot snarled flinging the door open.

"V-Vegeta needs to come quick! It's Bulma! She's in labor!" Krillain all but screamed in his friends face.

Vegeta was on his feet in a heartbeat, he pulled on his discarded pants and practically ran to the door. Krillian quickly told them where Bulma was being kept and asked his mate to use the Instant Transmission to get them there. Kakkarot agreed and before anyone could blink Vegeta was strolling into the delivery room.

"I am not sure how long they are going to be in there so let's go sit down okay?" Krillian asked Kakkarot timidly.

"Why not, I am not leaving here with out him," Kakkarot shrugged and walked off.

"Goku, wait! Can we talk for a moment?" the bald human asked.

"Sure."

"W-who are you really? Are you my Goku, or are you Kakkarot?" Krillain asked looking down at the floor.

"Kakkarot," he said simply.

"What brought you out?" the human asked looking up at the Sayain.

"Vegeta," another simple answer.

"Oh, I was just wondering. Do you think that you can act like our Goku? You know in front of everyone else?"

"Sure why not. Now if you will excuse me, I will go take my seat but one more thing," Kakkarot said turning back and pointing his finger at Krillain.

"Yes?"

"If you ever do that again and disturb my mates rest, I will kill you," he said with a cold smirk and then turned and walked off.

Several hours in to the night everyone but Kakkarot fell asleep. He wouldn't rest until his mate was back in his arms and resting himself. So to keep himself occupied during that time he imagined what his daughter was going to be like. Another full blooded Sayian wouldn't hurt anything. He did have a soft spot for Gohan, don't get him wrong, but he just didn't think a half Sayian was going to work out.

"Goku, you have been sitting there staring at the same spot on the wall for eight hours. Are you feeling okay?" Yamcha asked looking at him with concerned eyes.

"Yeah, it's just that I know what, Vegeta, is going through in there. I just hope that everything is going okay in there," Kakkarot covered with a smooth lie.

"I am sure that everything is fine," Yamcha said patting his friend on the shoulder.

It took every ounce of self control that Kakkarot had not to bite that hand. It took even more than that not to throw the human across the room and into the nearest wall. He did not want to be touched by anyone but his wife, son, and mate. Everyone else would just have to learn to keep their hands to themselves. Unless they wanted to end up in a body cast or coffin.

"You're right, please take your hand off of my shoulder. It's not that I don't like you (lie), it's just that with the moon so close to being full I don't like people touching me (another lie)," Kakkarot said with a small smile.

"Oh, sorry about that," Yamcha said taking his hand back.

"That's okay," Kakkarot lied.

'Damn, Goku, is always so honest! I am having to make up one lie right after another just to get these humans away from me. The only one who hasn't touched me today is that Namek but I think he knows who I am and knows it's better to just leave me alone.' Kakkarot growled to himself. He turned back to the wall but thought better of it and chose to stare at the Namek instead. His head buzzed and then the next thing he knew was that the Namek was talking to him.

'Kakkarot huh? Long time since I've seen you come out.'

'Been a long time since I really had anyreason to.'

'So what made you choose him?'

'Because he is the last like me not only that it was fated to be.'

'Since when did you get all sentamental?'

'Dunno, guess it's, Goku's, fault.'

'You gonna stay until the baby is born?'

'Yeah, and maybe a little longer than that.'

'Good luck with that.'

Kakkarot then realized that the Namek meant Bulma's baby and not his own. The Namek didn't know that Vegeta was pregnant, then again it really wasn't any concern of his to know. The fewer people that knew about it, the better off he was. A Sayain could really get tired killing a lot of people for his mate, espcially for a father.

"The baby was born, they had a little boy," a nurse informed everyone.

Vegeta came into the room looking all happy and giddy, he just had a baby boy born into the world so Kakkarot didn't get angry. His mate glowed with pride and happiness, something that turned him on. Before he could stop himself he started to purr and drew everyones attention from his mate to himself.

"Goku, why are you making that noise?" Chousu asked.

"Nevermind that tell us about the boy, Vegeta," Chichi quickly said trying to turn attention away from her husband.

"He's the most wonderful thing I have ever laid eyes on. Bulma will be out of recovery in a few hours and you guys can go see her. I would love to stay but I am tired and I really don't feel good so I am going to go home. Yamcha, do me a favor and stay with her please?" Vegeta asked nicely, something that he never did.

"S-sure," Yamcha said taken aback by the kindness.

Kakkarot jumped to his feet and placed a hand on Vegeta's shoulder, he turned and gave a two finger salute to everyone and then IT'd back to his home. Once there Vegeta ran to the sink and threw up. Kakkarot followed him and rubbed his back as he continued to empty his stomach.

"Stay here and I'll go get you a tooth brush and paste. That way you wont have that taste in your mouth," he offered and left the Prince bent over the sink running water down it.

Later that night Kakkarot finally allowed himself to scumb to the need to sleep. Vegeta however was wide awake looking down at his lover, he frowed when a sudden thought crossed his mind. Something that he never thought of before, something that might help with the pain. Pushing the thought to the back of his mind for later his kissed Kakkarot on the top of the head and then burried deeper into the sheets to rest for the next day.

(this chapter jumps around a lot. . .i just noticed that. i hope that it's not too hard to understand though. Now you know why Goku is acting the way he is. He's no longer Goku, but the great Sayain Kakkarot. I know that I made it seem like Kakkarot is a split personality but if you think about it he kind of is, with Goku being the alter. After all Kakkarot was the one born and Goku was the one made after Kakkarot lost his memmory.)
