Ever After

Gohan was sleeping peacefully; he had told the servants that he wanted to be left alone and that he wasn't hungry. They nodded, leaving fruit behind in case he did feel hungry later and left him alone, that was over 4 hours ago. So hearing someone speaking was a surprise when he was pretty sure that King Vegeta strictly forbade anyone from coming anywhere near here, unless he said otherwise.

Gohan slowly sat up, almost afraid to see who was there, and looked to see who was there and gasped when he saw Vegeta. But his mate wasn't himself.

“......Mine.......” Was all he said, slowly stalking forward, his body tense and his movements were jerky.

Gohan froze in his place on the bed, Vegeta's eyes were still mismatched, the sharp contrast between the halves of his face were frightening. The normal half was still handsome and regal, but the other half was contorted into a feral growl. He whimpered and backed away, the movement not lost to the slightly insane prince as he dove for the bed and pinned his struggling mate down on it.

“No!! Please, stop!!” Gohan cried, trying to get away from the stronger male, punching his chest and shoulders as well as pushing his face away from him. But Vegeta growled and grabbed the base of his tail.

Gohan's body immediately locked up as he stared up in fear. He hadn't hurt him, but the firm grip was a warning. Vegeta growled in approval at his mate's sudden submission and gently stroked his tail. Gohan shivered and flushed a brilliant shade of pink as his mind slowly shut down and his primal instincts took over.

Vegeta smirked darkly as he watched the mixture of fear and pleasure mix on his mate's face. How Gohan tried to turn away from the feelings and hide; it was adorable. He dug his nail into the fur and lightly grazed it over the hypersensitive flesh of his tail, getting him to arch his back and moan loudly in pleasure.

“.....Mine.....” He growled again, his hot breath tickling the hairs on the back of Gohan's neck as his ear felt prickly from how close Vegeta was to him.

Feeling his body heat so close to his own was just orgasmic, the fluctuating Ki caressing his hot frame, teasing him with the knowledge that Vegeta was there, right there only a few inches from his own body and yet still so far away. Vegeta watched as Gohan's body began reacting the way he wanted it to. His legs slowly spread in offering to him as he turned his head to show the Mate Bite on his neck as his tail curled over the hand still lightly scratching at it.

“.... Yours.... only yours...... Vegeta-sama....” Gohan agreed.

When he said those words and said Vegeta's title, his mate suddenly let him go and threw himself on the floor, screaming in agony as he thrashed about fighting with something he couldn't see. Gohan gasped when Vegeta slammed into the wall, clawing at it and then fell to the floor, his back arching in agony before he grabbed his own tail and started biting it!

The noise alerted the guards outside the castle as well as inside since the screams were really loud. They all hurried inside, worried that someone snuck into the palace and was raping the princess. Vegeta Sr and Nappa ran down the hall as tall warrior with long wild looking hair joined them.

“What the hell is going on!?” He demanded.

“Don't know, but whoever is touching Vegeta's mate is a dead man!!” Vegeta Sr roared as they finally got to the door, but it was locked. Nappa smashed into it a few times, but the door was not going anywhere, mocking them as the screams continued.

“Move.....” The wild haired Saiyan said as he held up both hands and blasted the knob off with a Ki blast.

After the knob was destroyed, they barged into the room to see that Gohan was cowering in the corner of his room and Vegeta was writhing in pain on the floor, clawing at it as his nails grew and his ears started shifting.

“What!? H- How'd he get out of the Isolation room!?” Nappa asked in shock.

Vegeta Sr didn't care about that, he was worried about Gohan. He quickly snuck around the room, keeping his back pressed against the walls, to the boy and knelt down before him.

“Are you hurt?”

“N-No... Vegeta- he's-!!” He cried into his hands, frightened about all that was happening.

Vegeta on the other hand had rolled over again, his fangs were growing and he needed to bite something, he bit his arms and the carpet, but nothing stopped his hunger to bite. His tail whipped before his face and he bit it, screaming in pain again. He let go of his tail and whined, though it sounded more like a deep snarl. He looked around and growled, there were others in the room; all males, dominants at that.

Nappa, sensing that Vegeta's attention was on them, gulped and began backing away as did the other Saiyans. Nappa shot a glance at the King, who was trying to calm Gohan enough to get him to come out of hiding, but the boy was too scared and that scent was fermenting the air.

“Back out now... He thinks were all a threat....” Nappa hissed at the others and they quickly backed out of the room. “Radditzu, you chose a wonderful time to come back home.”

“Yea, I noticed... Who's the kid in the corner?” Radditzu asked. His eye flicking over to the king and the hidden princess.

“Vegeta's mate... cute kid, half-breed too, but really cute.... A dancer too.” Nappa said, backing away as Vegeta stalked them. “Talk to you more later, let's just worry about keeping our tail and throats.”

Radditzu gave a mute nod as he jumped away from Nappa when Vegeta lunged at them, crashing into the dresser and shattering the mirror against the wall.

Gohan screamed in fear from hearing the crash and covered his head.

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! Please stop throwing things, mom!! I'm so sorry!! I'll be good I promise!!” He cried, his dark brown eyes were glazed over in a fear that was not of Vegeta's making and looking rather distant as well. Vegeta Sr narrowed his eyes before he gently grabbed Gohan's arms, but got kicked in the gut as Gohan screamed. “No!! Stop it!! Mom, please make him stop!! I won't do it again, I promise please!! Don't let him touch me!! Mommy!! Please protect me!!”

Vegeta Sr recovered, really not liking what he as hearing, but could do nothing about it. He pulled Gohan to his chest, even as the smaller Saiyan bit and scratched at him, kicking his feet, doing everything he can to get away.

Vegeta, who had been trying to attack Radditzu and Nappa, snarled when he heard his mate's screams and cries, turning to see another dominant had hold of him. He kicked off of Nappa and snarled as he grabbed the other male by the hair and yanked him off his mate.

Gohan fell to the floor, his hands reaching out to grab something to stop his decent, but ended up knocking the basin of water onto himself. The cold water snapped him out of his living nightmare and he blinked around the room in confusion before he saw his mate trying to kill his own father.

“Vegeta!! No!!” He ran over to him and grabbed one of his arms, pulling on it to try and loosen his grip as Vegeta Sr tried to claw at his hands that were crushing his windpipe. “Vegeta please, stop it!! Vegeta!!!”

Vegeta snarled and shoved his mate away, intent on killing the bastard that dared to touch him. Gohan tried to think of what do and got an idea, he only hoped it worked. He got close to Vegeta, shyly moving his tail up his back. The motion made Vegeta stop for a moment, his hands loosening enough for Vegeta Sr to breathe, but not enough for him to get free. Gohan brought his tail back down Vegeta's back and curled around his tail.

When Vegeta's wrapped about his in a possessive hold, Gohan smiled and purred as he pressed his body into his side, rubbing against it. Vegeta slowly turned his head to look at his mate. He was thanking him for protecting him. He growled lowly, but Gohan whined and brought his hands up to wrap around his neck and he nuzzled his head into his shoulder, nipping at it. Vegeta gave another growl, but Gohan whined louder, his tail tugging at Vegeta's as he found his mate mark and bit it.

The bite stung, but it was enough to snap Vegeta's murderous intent and focus his attention on his mate. He growled lowly, pulling the small body into his own, nuzzling the side of his neck, that urge to bit came back and now he knew what he wanted to bite. Finding his mate mark, he bit it and Gohan gasped before purring, keeping his focus solely on him.

Nappa and Radditzu watched this with flushed faces, but snapped out of it when the King crawled away from his son, also blushing. They grabbed an arm each and helped him to his feet.

“Are you alright?”

“I'm fine... that was a close call though...” he coughed a bit, his neck was sore, but otherwise he was fine. “We'd best leave these two alone....” He said blushing deeper when Vegeta's hands grabbed Gohan's backside.

Nappa agreed as Radditzu hurried out the door and shooed the others out of the wing, his face a bright red and his pants were a bit too tight for his liking...

Meanwhile back in the room, Vegeta pulled his mouth away from his mark, growling in satisfaction at the black and blue bruise on his mate's neck. Gohan was dazed, his body was hot and ready for his mate, and he liked Vegeta's sharp teeth nipping at his ears and neck, his hot breath tickling the flesh. He whined and licked his lips, wanting him to kiss him. Vegeta purred and smashed his lips on Gohan's, bruising them as he nipped and forced his tongue into Gohan's mouth and raped the daylights out of it.

Gohan moaned, and sucked on Vegeta's tongue, growling as he dug his fingers into Vegeta's soft hair and pressed them even closer. Vegeta pushed Gohan down on the floor, but growled in annoyance when it wasn't soft enough for mating. He yanked his mouth away and snarled; Gohan growled back, his tail pulling free of Vegeta's hold on it and smacked him in the face.

“Jerk.” Gohan hissed, but yowled like a cat when he was picked up and thrown on his bed. He hissed and kicked Vegeta when he came to crawl over him, but Vegeta dodged the kicks and began ripping off the obi of his kimono. “Hey!! Stop that!! You'll ruin the material!!”

Gohan fought with Vegeta's hands trying to stop him from ruining his kimono, but alas, it was torn to shreds and thrown somewhere in the room.

“Those don't suit you.... wear one that I pick out for you.” Vegeta snarled, his voice was back to normal and the red had died away.

Gohan had been shocked by this, but smiled and pulled his brute of a mate down to his body. Vegeta was shocked by this, but let his mate hold him. His body was trembling and he could feel tears on his shoulder.

“...You're back... you're back!”

“What do you mean I'm back? I never left.” Vegeta said, holding his sobbing mate close to him, twining their tails together and turning so Gohan was resting on his chest as he rubbed one hand up and down his back, the other massaging the spot behind his right ear. Gohan's body slowly relaxed and he began purring from his spot being massaged. This made Vegeta wonder if Gohan was a cat rather than a Saiyan.

“You- you went mad... you tried to hurt everyone and even tried to... to rape me...” Gohan whispered, curling to hide his tears from him. Tears were a sign of weakness and he didn't want his mate to think he was weak.

“What? Gohan, look at me... Look at me.” He ordered gently, cupping his chin and making him look up at him.

Gohan sighed and shook his hand off.

“... I'm so sorry... I- I ran away from you... made you angry and worried and when you found me, you killed someone and tried to kill a few others... I got really scared, but when I woke up and couldn't find you; I was even more scared...” Gohan mumbled wiping his face. “I grew up thinking I was human and had human logic drilled into me... being here on a planet that goes against everything I was taught frightened me, so when I woke up in bed with you after you took me... my logic screamed at me that I was raped and I needed to get away...”

“And you ran. I gave chase... it's normal in sudden matings like ours for the submissive to run away; And I should apologize since that was your first time and it had been rather rough on you.”

“But that's the thing.... I liked it; that's what frightened me the most... The days we were apart after you got locked up in Isolation, that hurt me the most... I got fevers and my heat would spike to the point that even female Saiyans tried to jump me... But I only wanted you; I liked the way I felt with you... so scared and yet so safe; protected and even loved... I dreamed of you, but when you broke into my room earlier.... I was scared; you were so rough- I wanted-”

“Then let me take you again...” Vegeta growled in his ear, pulling him tightly against his chest.

Gohan whined and tried to push himself away, but Vegeta pulled him back, holding on tightly. He growled and bit his mate mark again as Gohan mewled and felt himself harden against Vegeta's thigh, his face a deep red from shame.

“Itai, itai!!” Gohan whimpered and Vegeta let go, soothing his mate by rubbing his back and kissing his red cheeks.

He pushed Gohan off of him softly and took off his spandex shirt and pants, throwing them to the floor with his boots. After he was naked, he wrapped his arms over Gohan's lithe waist. He started with small pecks on the lips, slowly growing stronger with each touch. They had a small tongue war before Vegeta placed open mouthed kisses down his chin and over his neck, stopping to suck on a particularly sensitive spot.

The roughness of the treatment had Gohan standing at attention in no time. Vegeta, kept one arm wrapped out his moaning mate as his other hand moved down and with a harsh swat, he smacked Gohan's round cheeks. Gohan yelped, whined and begged Vegeta, in the cutest voice possible, for him to stop, but Vegeta growled low in his ear.

“Why? Feel how hard you are...” Vegeta hissed as he grabbed Gohan's hand and made him wrap his hand around his shaft.

Gohan out of the 18 years he's lived has never, ever touched himself like this before and it was rather exhilarating! He let Vegeta guide his hand up and down his shaft, pinching the tip and squeezing his balls. Jerking himself off for the first time. As he kept up the motions, Vegeta brought his hand up and smacked Gohan's ass once more, making it baboon red.

He leaned over Gohan, biting the back of his neck and shoulder blades, and grabbed a bottle of lotion. He spread some on his hand and began massaging Gohan's abused tush. The sharp contrast of the cool lotion on his heated flesh made Gohan shriek and grab hold of Vegeta, clinging to him with all his strength. Vegeta laughed as he massaged his mate's bottom, adding more lotion to his hands before working his hands down the backs of his thighs.

Gohan was in bliss at the gentle massage, Vegeta put just the right about amount of pressure to make his body relax. That's why he cried out in shock when he felt something pushed inside of him. It was prickly and smooth. He looked over his shoulder at his but to see Vegeta's sleek auburn tail shoving itself in and out of his entrance.

“Aaa-aaah!? V- Vegeta!? Wh- what are you doing !? Nyaaah!?” He squealed out on the last one, the tail jabbing at his sweet spot.

“Making you nice and wet...” Vegeta purred as he shoved more of his tail into his mate, but Gohan felt that spark in him to fight back. He squeezed his butt close, forcing the muscles to crush Vegeta's tail. Vegeta howled in pain and pulled his tail free of the evil hole.

“Serves you right!!” Gohan hissed and tried to crawl away from him, but Vegeta snarled and pounced on his mate, grabbing his hair and forcing his head down on the bed as he lifted his hips up and held them in place, his tail wrapping tightly over Gohan's thigh and pulling his legs apart.

Gohan had only a second to realize what was happening before he felt something big, hard and hot slam into his hole and felt something inside pop and rip. His mouth fell open in a silent scream of pain as blood dribbled out of his hole. Vegeta hissed and growled, Gohan's ass was even tighter than the first time they mated. He felt his ass sucking him in and whatever had ripped open had swallowed the head of his cock.

“Vegeta... pull out!! Itai, itai!!” Gohan sobbed. Vegeta grunted and started to pull out but when it got to the tip, Gohan's body locked down on it.

“Loosen up, Gohan. I can't pull out if you don't!”

“I-I'm trying!! Unh..... Hah!?” Gohan suddenly gasped. “Oh no.... V- Vegeta!! I-I'm g-g-getting another f-fever!!”

Vegeta hissed as Gohan's body temperature spiked, making him feel like they melted together and were permanently fused together. Gohan's tail was puffy and a very sweet smell was coming from it. When the scent hit his nose, Vegeta's mind shut off completely, the only thing that was left was the thought to fuck.

With a beastly snarl, he leaned forward on his hands and growled as he slammed his hips hard into his mate's waiting ass. Gohan gasped, his eyes crossing as colorful spots burst behind his closed eye lids. The pace was slow and hard, with every slam of Vegeta's hips on his backside, Gohan was pushed forward and more colors burst behind behind his eye lids. He gasped and moaned, as Vegeta growled and thrust in harder, faster; rocking the bed as he pound his mate into it.

“V- Vegeta!!”

“Gohan... scream my name louder... let all of Vegetasei hear who gives you this pleasure!!” Vegeta hissed as he grabbed those pale hips in a bruising grip and slammed into Gohan harder than before.

“Ohhh Kami-sama.... VEGETA!!!!” Gohan screamed at his loudest, cumming as Vegeta slammed into him more before he felt something hot shoot into him and seep out of him as they both passed out, still intimately joined......

-3 weeks later-

Vegeta laid in his bed, his arm wrapped firmly over Gohan's slender waist as the two slept peacefully. Over the last three weeks, things had settled back down to normal. Vegeta apologized to his father, who brushed it off and forgave him, telling him he was proud that he protected his mate so well. Nappa and Radditzu had been assigned to be Gohan's personal bodyguards and it was publicly announced that Vegeta had taken a mate and that the official ceremony would be a week later.

Gohan spent that week learning what to do in the ceremony, getting measured for his ceremonial robes and taking dancing lessons from Radditzu. He had to do two formal waltzes. One with the king, the other with his mate. It would have been three, but his father was dead. When the ceremony finally arrived, Gohan was rushed off to the bridal chambers where the blue skinned women, who he learned were Vipers from a planet full of snake people, cooed and teased him as they got him ready for his big day.

The ceremony had been beautiful! Like some weddings on earth there was a general march for the Groom and Bridegrooms men and the Bridesmaids to take their places before a second march began and Gohan was escorted down the aisle by Vegeta Sr with Nappa and Radditzu holding up his train that had been trampled by little children, wanting to see the princess when he crossed the yard from the Bridal Chambers to the Chapel. Vegeta looked handsome in his full uniform and armor, his many medals and pins decorating his left breast as a simple band like crown decorated his head.

The oldest living Saiyan was a witch doctor who lived on the mountain where Brolly had been born, she was a short woman, her hair a spit fire red, but her eyes were dull with age, barely any wrinkles forming in her face, though she was over 200 years old. She spoke in the old Saiyan language which Vegeta translated for him and they did a sort of dance around each other.

Poetry in motion was what came to Gohan's mind as he recalled walking around Vegeta, never breaking eye contact as they twined their tails and tied a red rope around them before biting into a rare fruit that was very sweet and drinking a bit of a wine that had been aged just right to be easy on the tongue and throat but have a little kick to it. When that was done, the old Saiyan cut the rope and placed it in a box and handed it to Vegeta, declaring that they were now mated before the nameless gods of Vegetasei.

The party afterwords had been interesting, Vegeta had scowled the whole time, only smiling at Gohan or laughing with Nappa and Radditzu. The first dance with the king had been wonderful, Gohan nearly tripped on his train, but he got hang of it. Then he danced with Vegeta, Vegeta smirked as he held Gohan like he was was holding him in bed: roughly and yet tenderly. Forcing him to bend to his will, but being gentle with him. Gohan had felt so horny and glared at Vegeta, the sexy jerk, did that on purpose!!

That was over a week and a half ago, but still Gohan couldn't be happier. He snuggled into Vegeta's chest and purred, but shot out of bed, his hand pressed firmly over his mouth as he hurried into the bathroom and emptied his stomach's contents into the toilet. Vegeta, who had been sleeping contentedly with Gohan, was at his side in seconds. He rubbed Gohan's back and reached his hand up to pull on the the black rope hanging from the ceiling.

“Shh, Gohan, help will be here soon.”

“V-Vegeta.... it hurts....” Gohan whined, his throat burning from throwing up.

Vegeta turned when a maid rushed in looking frazzled.

“Get me a pitcher of cold water and prepare soothing tea and get a doctor!!” He ordered and she hurried off, forgetting to bow to him, but he had other things to worry about other than the maid's lack of manners.

Gohan had been throwing up for the better part of the morning and finally had nothing left to spit up. Vegeta got a washcloth and washed his face before making him rinse out his mouth and carrying him to bed. The maid hurried in with water, tea and the doctor soon after. Vegeta told the doctor what had happened and the reptile like creature nodded before shooing both him and the maid from the room.

Vegeta paced outside the door, worried and rather annoyed that the reptile was looking at his mate naked. About half an hour later, the doctor came out sporting a black eye and missing a few scales.

“Your highness... your mate is a keeper, though you may want to wait until he wakes up before you celebrate.” The reptile said, a bit shaky from being attacked by the future queen.

“Celebrate what!? My mate is sick!!”

“No... it's only morning sickness... His highness, the princess, is pregnant. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see my own doctor....”

“May I ask what happened?”

“When I was checking between his legs, he mistook it as an assault and well.... I got kicked in the face and he clawed at me trying to protect himself.” The doctor said.

“Ah, sorry about that. He's still getting us to living on Vegetasei. He grew up on earth and well he's been deprived of his Saiyan heritage.”

“I guessed as much. Well again, congratulations on the baby.” The doctor said and finally left as Vegeta walked into the room and saw his pregnant little mate curled up rubbing his belly, smiling childishly.

He walked over to him and climbed in bed behind him and placed his hand over his mate's hand and kissed the back of his neck.

“We're going to be parents soon... How do you feel?” He asked, nipping at a love bite that was still showing from last night.

“Tired... I'll have to deal with throwing up in the morning for a while...”

“Yes... but at least you'll be pregnant for only five months and not nine like an Earthling. And I'll be here with you. Rest, you must be tired.”

“Okay... Vegeta?” Gohan asked, softly. “What can I eat that won't upset my stomach?”

“.... I don't know... I'll go ask father to find the midwife who delivered me... She'll know.” Vegeta said as he got up to go find his father, but Gohan tugged on his hand and he smiled. “I'll have Radditzu and Nappa keep you company.”

Gohan slowly let go of his wrist and nodded. He really didn't want him to leave, but he also wanted the help. After getting dressed and waiting for Radditzu and Nappa to arrive, Vegeta left to talk to his father. He threw open the doors to the throne room, ignoring the meeting that was going on and walked briskly up to his father, his tail barely visible, but when it swished into view it was tense with worry and suppressed excitement.

“Vegeta. You are interrupting a very important meeting.” The king said, giving his son a stern glare, but Vegeta didn't seem the slightest bit worried. He finally made it to his father's sided and leaned into his ear as he covered his mouth.

“Where is the midwife? I need her right away.”

“Why do you need to know?” Vegeta Sr asked.

“Gohan is pregnant... we found out this morning when he got morning sickness and I summoned a doctor.” Vegeta said, his father looking back him in shock as he nodded his head and let a small almost invisible smile grace his lips.

“Excuse us a moment!” Vegeta Sr said as he stood and pulled his son off to the side and called a servant boy to them. “Boy, take this sealed letter to the southeastern provenances. And ask for a Nadine. Go now!!” He hissed and the boy took off once Vegeta Sr wrote and sealed the letter. “He's pregnant!? So soon? Surely it would have taken a second heat cycle since you were in isolation and he was given enzymes to retard the effects. But even then his pheromones were highly potent.”

“Yes he's pregnant! Let me know as soon as the midwife arrives. I don't want to be too far from Gohan.”

“Go. As soon as the meeting is over I will be there to see my son-in-law.” Vegeta Sr said.

Vegeta nodded and hurried back to his room as his father went back to the meeting, ignoring the questions being asked about what was so important that the crown prince had interrupted them. Vegeta on the other hand hurried back to his room, smiling as he saw Gohan resting easy, Nappa was standing on the balcony as Radditzu sat in a chair by the bed, leaning over to check the boy's forehead every now and then. It was rare for a pregnant Saiyan to get a fever, but it did happen and it could be rather difficult to handle.

“Thank you for keeping watch.” He said, as he made his presence know to the other two. “You may return to your regular duties.”

“We are doing our regular duty.” Radditzu said, being a smart ass as he stood from the chair. “I am going to meet Father at the docks. He's coming back today... Sorry Nappa!!”

Nappa grumbled darkly about third class evil Saiyans before he walked out to stand guard by the door, being sure to keep a few feet from it in case things got heated in the room. Vegeta rolled his eyes as he took off the cape and breast plate and set it down on the chair before he kicked off his boots and took off his gloves. He climbed in bed behind Gohan and stroked his stomach, kissing his temple and couldn't stop the smile that grew on his face.

“Hmm... 'Geta?” Gohan asked sleepily. Vegeta blinked at the pet name and smiled.

“Yes it's me... do you need to go to the bathroom?” he asked, looking his small mate over. He kissed his temple again.

“No.... you're warm...” Gohan said as he turned and curled up into his mate's body and went back to sleeping.

Vegeta only chuckled at how cute his mate was and opted to sleep as well...

-5 months later-

The sun poured into the room as Vegeta woke up. He rolled over, throwing his arm over Gohan's waist, only his mate wasn't in bed with him. He shot up instant looking for him only to see his mate sitting in the window seat feeding their baby girl. He was awed by the sight of the rising sun shining behind his wife and daughter, Gohan looked angelic with the sun shining in his ebony hair as his dark brown eyes looked like browned honey in the slight and the smile that graced his lips as he watched their daughter suckle at his nipple was so beautiful that Vegeta wanted to protect it forever.

The last five months had been rather interesting for the full blooded Saiyan. The midwife did wonders with the half-breed, but the mood swings were something no one had expected in the least. Gohan went from happy to angry to sad to pure frightening! His Ki fluctuated like crazy and his appetite was fearsome! But there had been a plus out of all that negative! Gohan had been horny like hell and Vegeta reaped every second of it before Gohan got to his fourth month and then things went to hell, he suffered from dizzying pains and was sensitive to a lot of foods.

Since he was the very first half-breed in all of Vegetasei, no one knew how to handle it and it really worried Vegeta that he might lose his mate and child, but in the end Gohan proved that he was a fighter. He got through the pain and he managed to keep a simple diet of toast and jam with melon juice until he went into labor. Vegeta and several others had their hands broken by the sheer strength Gohan had shown. The midwife told him if he was this strong pregnant, she told them to imagine him at full health and well trained. She said it wouldn't shock her in the least if he turned super Saiyan.

Well she got her wish. When things got critical and they were losing both the baby and Gohan, Gohan's instincts kicked in and he upped his Ki to its limits and then passed it. His black hair bleed blonde and his eyes turned teal as his tail lashed out and turned gold as well. He gave a scream and pushed the baby out before passing out. The midwife's priority was the baby then the princess. Once the baby was declared healthy and sent to be cleaned up and get weighed, the midwife turned to Gohan. He was fine, just exhausted and in a lot of pain. She had him taken to a rejuvenation tank to get healed up.

Vegeta smiled, he would never replace his mate or the last five months for anything. He silently got up, but Gohan's keen hearing picked it up anyway and he looked up at him and smiled.

“Morning...”

“Morning... I didn't hear Lila wake up.” Vegeta said, having expected her to be crying her head off because she was hungry.

“She did, but I was up before her and got to feeding her so she wouldn't wake you.” Gohan admitted.

Vegeta looked at his mate's face, he was losing sleep, but it wasn't because of Lila, something else was bothering his mate. Lila detached herself from her mother's nipple and Gohan gently burped her. Once the gas was clear, Lila gurgled happily and held tight to her mom's night gown. Gohan stood from the window seat and moved to the crib where he set Lila down and smiled as she looked around the pod like crib and soon found her tail, playing with herself.

Vegeta took that moment to wrap his arms over his mate's waist and pressed his question across their mental link. Gohan stiffened, but soon relaxed, but shook his head.

“Gohan... there is something wrong. I can see it in your face and I can feel it across the link. What is it? Please tell me...” Vegeta asked softly, kissing along his shoulder to his ear.

“Remember how I told you my mother sold me as a slave?” Gohan asked, keeping his head down.

“Yes.” Vegeta said, suppressing the growl that threatened to leave his throat.

“... She use to abuse me. Whenever my dad wasn't around she'd hit me and call me a freak, a monster. Sometimes saying that she should have ripped me out of her stomach when she was still pregnant with me. Even pulling on my tail and trying to cut it off because it wasn't normal...” He said fighting back tears as Vegeta lead him to sit on their bed and held him close, letting him gather his wits and calm himself.

It took a few minutes but Gohan was able to get himself under enough control to continue his tale.

“It got worse when dad recovered his memories. Then when he planned to move back here, that's when she really lost it. She didn't want to be stuck on a planet full of savage, hideous monsters. But about a week before we left... she...” He choked on a sob and buried his face into Vegeta's strong chest.

“Shh, shh... it's alright. I'm here, I'm right here. I won't let anything happen to you... shh....” Vegeta shushed him. He made them lay back so that Gohan's head rested on his chest as he kissed those tearful dark brown orbs.

When Gohan calmed down again, he silently pressed against his mate; Vegeta instinctively wrapped his arms around him, pulling him closer. Vegeta kissed Gohan's temple as he rubbed a hand soothingly around his back, hoping to ease any pain that was there from the memories.

“Before we- before we left... before we left... mother invited a man home while dad was at your house, Bulma, and she... she let him hit me and kick me around. The both got drunk and really beat me, but he wanted something else... I screamed and cried, begged her to help me, but she ignored me..” He said, letting his tears fall as he shook in Vegeta's loving embrace. “When he tried to rip my clothes off, I used my tail to get away from him. I grabbed mom's frying pan off the counter and hit him with it. I got out of the house as fast as I could and hid in the forest until a little before dad got home. He never found out because mom made me take a Senzu bean from dad's hidden stash and threatened to rip my tail off if I ever told anyone...”

By the end of his story, Gohan was in tears, sobbing into his chest as he held him tightly to his breast, kissing and whispering sweet nothings in his ears. It took a while but Gohan finally calmed down and Vegeta sent him to go take a long hot bath. He agreed knowing that the mineral water that fueled the baths would soothing him.

Vegeta got dressed and took Lila to see her grandfathers. Apparently, Radditzu was the brother of Gohan's father and that Burdock, his father's most trusted friend and lover was his grandfather. When they heard this, Vegeta couldn't believe his ears, but Gohan took it all in stride and got to know his father's family. Burdock and his own father became instant mush when Lila had been born and cowered in fear when they saw Gohan go Super during birthing.

He chuckled as he passed some of the guards and servants, they all cooed at the sight of the ice prince carrying his daughter as well as the baby girl herself. She took after her mother when it came to her hair and eyes, but she had her father's complexion and his mouth. Her tail was a bit smaller than most babies, but that was because of the small percentage of human blood she had as well.

“Damn it, Nappa!!” he heard Radditzu's voice yell from up ahead where the bald Saiyan was currently tying Radditzu's hands behind his back with his own tail.

“Oh come now, there's no need to be a prude...”

“Please refrain from vulgar acts in front of my child.” Vegeta sighed, looking at the two of them with a bored look, though mentally he was gouging his eyes out. “And shouldn't you two be keeping watch of my mate?”

They both blushed and hurried off to do their job, after Nappa set Radditzu free. Vegeta rolled his eyes and walked into his father's study where the king and Burdock were looking over reports.

“Look who's here.” Vegeta called and Burdock ran to hold Lila, smiling brightly as the baby girl smiled and laughed.

Burdock had always wanted a little girl to spoil but his mate died during the war with Frieza and his own sons had disappeared. Don't get him wrong, he loved both his sons, but he wanted a daughter as well. So now that he had a great granddaughter he could spoil her rotten. Vegeta laughed as his father joined in on bathing Lila in attention, the little girl loving every second of it...

-Later-

Gohan was taking a walk with Lila around town. He had been hauled up in the castle for a year now and hadn't gotten a chance to see his new home for what it was worth. Radditzu and Burdock joined him, both out of duty to protect the princess and the baby princess as well as family bonding.

“Radditzu, keep an eye on them. I need to pick up a few things while we are here.” Burdock said as his son and grandson nodded before he walked away and into a shop.

They walked down the block, Gohan was amazed at all the talents the Saiyans had aside from their fighting skills. He was looking in the window of a clothing shop, admiring the clothes the place sold, when Radditzu called his attention.

“Brat, look there.” Radditzu called, pointing to a craft shop where an old man sat busily beading jewelery. His fingers working seamlessly as he strung beautiful glass beads on to the wires and strings.

“So beautiful...” he breathed and blinked when the old Saiyan offered him the bracelet he was just making. It was tiny and was pale purple and pink.

“For the baby princess.” He said.

“Ah, thank you. How much is it?” Gohan asked about to reach for the money bag inside the sleeve of his kimono. It was a Saiyan style Kimono, meaning it showed off his shoulders, letting everyone see the mate claim on his neck as clear as his face while it hugged his body to show off his feminine figure. And a hole in back allowed his tail freedom to move.

“No charge! It's for free.” The man said.

Gohan thanked him but still left him a few pieces of money. The man blinked and thanked him for the generous gift. They left the craft shop. Gohan slipped the bracelet on to Lila's small wrist and she looked at it, amazed by the sparkly glass.

“She likes it!” Gohan smiled and laughed. He accidentally brushed into someone and quickly turned to apologize. “I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking-- mother!?”

“Gohan?” The woman asked just as confused before she saw the baby he was holding. “What are yo doing holding that disgusting thing!? Drop it right now!!”

Gohan's eyes got wide as horrible memories resurfaced, but he did not let his daughter go. He held her tightly and backed away from his mother.

“No... I won't.”

“You will listen to me! I am your mother!!” she yelled, drawing attention to them. Radditzu stepped in front of her and growled.

“Onna, you will not speak in such a manner to his highness, the princess... I am asking you to leave immediately.” He snarled out. He wanted so badly to kill the bitch, but refrained from doing so.

Gohan hid behind his uncle as said elite blocked his mother. She glared at him before she huffed and walked away. As soon as she was gone, Radditzu spun around and caught Gohan, who suddenly felt drained. Lila fussed and whined, sensing that something was wrong with her mother. Burdock, who had ducked into a shop to pick up a few things, hurried to them and without a word took Lila from Gohan as Radditzu picked him up and they flew back to the palace.

“What happened?” Burdock asked.

“The onna, the brat's mother, ran into us and well... things didn't go well.” Radditzu said, he didn't need to tell his father in detail what was going on, the man can easily figure it out for himself.

“... I take it she abused him.” He stated rather than asked. “Kakarot what were you thinking?”

“He didn't know better, father. When he crash landed on Earth, he hit his head pretty hard and was raised human. He was already mated and the brat was born by the time I found. After he got back his memories, he was more assertive in their home life and the onna didn't like it. She didn't like her dominance being threatened.”

“And when he wasn't around, she would take her anger out on Gohan.” He stated once more. Looking at his grandson who had fallen into a fitful sleep in Radditzu's arms.

“I wouldn't put it passed her...” Radditzu said as they landed in front of the palace. Nappa looked at them and instantly knew something happened.

“Nappa. Go fetch Vegeta.” Burdock said as he and Radditzu hurried into the palace.

Said Saiyan took off after snapping a quick salute. He hurried to the training area where Vegeta was sparring with the new recruits. The prince liked personally training the new guards so they had an idea of how strong he was and what he could do to them if they ever pissed him off. The prince had just grabbed one man in a headlock when Nappa called out.

“Prince Vegeta, Admiral Burdock requests you presence immediately. Something happened to the princess!”

Vegeta's body stiffened and he dropped the Saiyan he had been holding before he growled and stalked off, red bleeding into his eyes as flecks of gold appeared in his fur before turning back to its original dark auburn color. He didn't bother with his shirt or his cape, he just walked straight into the palace. He made a B-line straight to his room, servants and nobles alike moving out of his way as guards stiffened at their posts.

“What happened!?” He demanded the second he opened the door. Radditzu was rocking Lila, said baby was whimpering and whining as Burdock stood over the doctor, growling as the reptile ran his hands a bit too friendly over his grandson's body.

“... We ran into his mother, quite literally.” Radditzu said, looking back at his nephew. “he held up well against her, but as soon as she was gone, he collapsed and right now he's unconscious and doesn't seem to be aware of what's going on around him. I've tried to keep Lila from crying out loud, don't want to the brat freaking out.”

“.......His mother?” Vegeta asked in a deadly calm voice.

Burdock glanced at them, he knew that tone and Radditzu's only saving grace was the fact he was holding Lila otherwise he's be an interesting bloody stain on the wall. He looked down at Gohan when he sat with a cry, Vegeta was instantly at his side.

“Mommy please-stop!!!” He screamed.

“Gohan... Gohan, it's alright, I'm here... Gohan....” He whispered in his ear, kissing his temple as his tail curled around and held Gohan's tail down as he tried to calm him down.

The doctor stood to the side with Burdock as they watched Vegeta calm his mate down. It took a few tries and having to restrain his mate, but he did calm down and the doctor was able to sedate him.

“That should keep him asleep for a few hours and when he wakes up, its normal to have a headache and to be a bit nauseous. Try to keep him on light foods.” the doctor said before he left.

Vegeta turned to Burdock and the older Saiyan nodded his understanding at the silent question. He took Lila and walked out the room as Radditzu left to go cool off as well as inform Nappa and the king. Vegeta got Gohan comfortable in bed before he grabbed the chair from their patio set and sat beside the bed and sat down. He sat there for hours, the sun had set and the room was dark. No one had come anywhere near the room since Burdock left a tray of diced fruit a few hours ago.

Gohan was deep asleep, his body not use to the heavy sedative that they use. Vegeta was deep in thought, he was pissed at what he learned and then to have his mate break down like that?

'Kill the Onna!' Oozuru roared in his head.

'As much as I want to, we cannot...' Vegeta thought back, hi eyes narrowed.

'Why not?'

'Because as much as I want to kill her, I need Gohan's approval. I do not need to make him more fearful of me than he already is. He may not show it or say it, but when we're intimate, he flinches away from my touch.'

'Baka no Oujisama.' Oozuru laughed as he shook his head. 'Our mate is not fearful of your touch, he can sense the strength in you and he's worried about you... Remember you are the strongest Saiyan on Vegetasei next to your father and his lover. Your father's still a formidable force, but he's gown lazy. Whereas Burdock is still active, but lacks the discipline to further his training. You can surpass them an be like our mate, a super Saiyan. Make history to mate the first half-breed Super Saiyan, the second Super Saiyan to appear after Brolly.'

Vegeta fell silent, the monster was right. But could he really control it? Could he really reach that peak like his mate?

'You've reached it once... just a hair's width from it in fact... When we were imprisoned away from our mate.' Oozuru said.

'… You're a pain.' Vegeta thought, sighing as he looked up from Gohan's sleeping form to his father.

“Vegeta, you need to eat.” He said in a stern voice, but the worry and fatherly love and care shone through.

“No. I will not move until he's awake...”

“Vegeta... Vegeta please... at least go and sit with your daughter. She hasn't stopped crying nearly all day.”

Vegeta blinked, he nearly forgotten his own baby! He sighed and agreed to go sit with Lila for a while. Vegeta Sr smiled and told him whee to find his baby as he took over watching Gohan...

-Later that night-

Gohan groaned and rolled over, his boy felt heavy, his joints stiff like steel rod, popped and cracked in protest. His tail was hypersensitive and he could barely feel it moving as he slowly pushed his body up. He sat on his knees for a moment before he crawled to the edge of the bed and slowly, carefully made his way to the bathroom.

He really needed to pee and then he had to find Lila and feed her. He was pretty sure she was starving by now and most likely unreasonable too. After he did his business he washed his hands and face, feeling refreshed. He stepped out of the bathroom just as Vegeta walked in with a whiny Lila. They stared at each other for a moment before Gohan smiled and walked over to his mate and daughter.

“I'm sorry...” He said.

“There's nothing to be sorry about. You cannot be blamed for what your mother's done to you... I know for a fact that you will never do what she did to Lila.” Vegeta told him, knowing that was running through his mate's mind.

Gohan blinked in shock before he smiled at him and kissed his cheek before grabbing Lila who instantly blinked her watery eyes and looked up at him before he smiled and moved his kimono top down a bit and revealed his nipple to her. She latched on and he winced. She was ravenous at the moment it felt like she was biting him with needle like teeth.

“Eager, isn't she?” Vegeta teased and Gohan glared up at him.

“Next time your the one getting pregnant and we'll see how you feel about having your nipples sucked off your chest.” Gohan growled and went to sit down on the bed so he was comfy while his daughter ate until her belly was full. Once she was full, having suckled at both nipples to fill her belly, Gohan laid her across his knees and was lightly patting her back, she burped a few times and even spit up some milk, but otherwise was rather content with being held by her mother.

Vegeta watched his mate and shook his head as he sat beside him and began playing with Lila by teasing her with his tail. He chuckled when she growled cutely trying to catch the big fuzzy thingy.

“Gohan... It's a very serious offense to abuse one's child let alone any child... Your mother needs to be punished, unfortunately for her that punishment is death.” Vegeta told him, his chin resting on Gohan's shoulder as his hot breath teased his mate's sensitive flesh.

“... I-I see... P-please stop... Lila's right over that!” he whined and Vegeta stopped, he didn't want his mate to get hard with their daughter over his lap. That would be awkward to explain to her later on when she got older.

“But we cannot legally punish her since she is not a citizen of Vegetasei. The most we can do is banish her since she is your mother and you as my mate are a citizen of Vegetasei.” Vegeta said.

Gohan sighed in relief, sure his mother abused him and pretty much hated him for being created in the first place, but she was still his mother and she did raise him, even if she wanted him dead. Vegeta said nothing at his mate's relief, he could sense the thoughts going through his head, telling him that he was glad that she wouldn't be able to bother him if she was banished and he didn't have to feel guilty over her death either.

“We can send her back to earth and she will not be allowed back to Vegetasei ever again. If she attempts to come; she will be captured and arrested.” Vegeta told him. “I am saying this because I want you to know how serious the offense is. I want you to know what is expected of the laws and those who execute them... I do not want you to hate me or our people...”

“Vegeta... I could never hate... its not in me to do so...” Gohan assured him.

“I'm glad... Come everyone is worried about you.” Vegeta said as Gohan picked up Lila, wiped her face clean of drool and asked a servant to clean up the room when they left it.

When they got to the dinning hall, Vegeta Sr was ripping a few of the new guards a new one. Burdock was nose deep in papers, his tail twisting in the air as a sign that he was enjoying every second of this. Radditzu was growling fiercely at Nappa as the bald Saiyan nursed a black eye and a broken nose.

“What happened here?” Vegeta asked as he sat down in a chair beside his father after sitting Gohan.

A servant ran over with a pod crib for Lila and Gohan laid her in the floating crib.

“Nothing new, some newbies getting chewed out for doing something stupid.” Nappa said, sound nasally and a bit raspy from the broken nose.

“What they do this time?”

“They were caught outside the bathroom window to your room, sneaking peeks at the princess.” Nappa said and Vegeta was up and over there strangling one Saiyan with is tail while the other two were shaken violently. All the while he was cursing away in the Saiyan Language like no tomorrow.

Gohan blushed in shame and hid his face behind his bangs. Someone saw him naked while he was washing up!?

“Why me?!” Gohan moaned as Radditzu snickered about Gohan being Vegeta's mate and everyone wanting to get a good look at him even if he's naked...

-Chi-Chi's house-

Chi-Chi snarled as she downed another bottle of hard liquor. The only thing she could say was that Saiyans knew how to make a nice hard whiskey. It smelt sweet and was smooth but the burn was nice and hot making you feel like your core was burning hot. She blinked for times before she got up and opened the door after hearing a harsh knock on it. She blinked before she smiled and let the stranger into the house.

“Thank you for making it here... I have problem.” She said, being careful with her words as the stranger took the seat she offered and she got out two glasses and set them on the table with one of her more expensive bottles of hard liquor.

“What kind of problem?” He asked.

“You see, my son was kidnapped by the monsters that rule this planet. I went to try and save him, but they brainwashed him into thinking he was one of them.” she lied with ease since she was nice and drunk already.

“So you want me to rescue the boy?”

“Yes. And if possible help him fight the brainwashing...”

“And how would I do that?”

“... when my husband died some years ago, my son became unstable and would try to sexually attack me. I had to tie him up and use a vibrator on him to get him to calm down. The doctors said that the trauma of seeing his father raped in killed before his eyes had an affect on him. They said that he would lash out in sessions hoping they would punish him like his father had been raped... They told me that when he got this way to do what I did the first time he attacked me. Tie him up and let the vibrator go to work. As soon as he cums, he's back to being sweet and innocent, like a split personality of sorts.”

“I see... So if I fuck him good enough he'll snap out of his delusions?”

“Yes... Please I just want my baby boy back!” she cried, sobbing into her hands for added effect.

“I will do my best, Ma'am.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much Mr... oh dear I never got your name.” She said, playing the overly thankful mother.

“... Zarbon.” he said, his black nails flashing as he lifted the glass to his lips and smirked. His pale pink eyes flashing dangerously as he drank from it. He was a mercenary from a different planet and he owed the Saiyans pay back for destroying his family. His light blue skin made his green hair seem a lot darker than it was. He was thick and well toned, his muscles easily seen through his skin.

Chi-Chi eyed him up and down, smiling. This guy would do the job nicely. As soon as he was done raping her 'son' she would call earth and have them wish them, her and Gohan, back and for Vegetasei to be destroyed. She'd have one of the others do it since the dragon could sense the wisher's true soul. If your soul is dark then he wouldn't grant your wish, instead he'd curse you and she didn't want that to happen to her. As soon as the Saiyans were gone, she'd move back to her house and from there she'd beat Gohan to death and then let him die on his own since anyone who dies a natural death cannot be wished back. Her plan was perfect and all she had to do was play the role of a distraught mother.

Zarbon set his glass down and stood up. He bowed politely to the woman and she thanked him again and again before he left. As soon as he was out of sight, she fell into a chair laughing as she chugged down another glass of the whiskey...
