By the time the Saiyans finished their breakfast and sorted out the kitchen Goku was once again bouncing around ready to go to Capsule Corp. Vegeta called Bulma about thirty minutes before they wanted to leave to inform her that Goku had appeared seemingly unharmed and they were coming to get the boys. The blue haired woman screeched at the prince for a good ten minutes for not calling her sooner , then changed subjects almost faster than he could keep up. She rambled on about having a party and Vegeta just mumbled yes to a few question not really knowing what they were about. His attention was on Kakarot. The bigger Saiyan was facing away from the royal but tension could be seen in the lines of his back as if being challenged by something.
“Bulma, I have to let you go.” Luckily the woman didn’t object and he was relieved of the phone. Cautiously he made his way over to his mate keeping his scent subdued so not to agitate him further. If Goku’s Saiyan instincts’ were picking up danger then having his mate there with him would make his hostility rise. Not only would Kakarot feel that he needed to protect himself but his mate as well. After this morning, Vegeta was taking every precaution so that maybe his lover would not turn on him again.
“Kakarot? What is it?” The prince was now facing his mate’s left shoulder when Goku’s hand shot backwards to grab his forearm. Fingers wrapped around his arm in a death grip and Vegeta decided to voice his opinion
“Kakarot, what the hell let go of me.” He demanded and suddenly found himself face to face with his growling lover. Goku’s eyes were wild and feral, nails now digging into his skin. Blood began to bead on his arm as he tried to pull away from the wild man. The earthen Saiyan held fast to the one person grounding him to reality. His head hurt, his body ached and inside it felt like something was trying to claw its way out.
“Kakarot. You will let go of me.” Demanded the prince stilling struggling to pull away.
“Shut up Vegeta, just shut your mouth.” Goku’s voice was deep and dominating. This was a voice to be obeyed. Among the submissive Saiyans, if their Dom had used that tone they would have simply shut up and been obedient but the prince was feeling rebellious, especially today but before he could open his mouth to retort Goku released him blinking a few times at his royal lover.
“Ge what are you doing standing there? I thought we were going to get the boys?” Vegeta just stood stunned at the abrupt change in his mate as Kakarot walked over to the front door turning expectantly to the smaller man.
“Just a moment Kaka and I’ll be ready.” Slightly confused the prince went up to the bathroom and quickly bandaged the cuts on his arm surprised that it was all ready starting to bruise. He made a quick trip to the bedroom, picking out a long sleeve shirt glad that it was cool outside enough to wear it. The leaves had almost all fallen and were almost at the end of their season which he found to be most delightful of all the seasons. He made his way down the stairs and thought back to the look of wildness on his mates face. For once in his life he wondered if it was safe to bring their boys home. Vegeta knew he could not change Kakarot’s mind but he worried now. Something had happened during Goku’s disappearance and the prince was going to find out what had changed his mate.
   The trip to Capsule Corp. was uneventful and Goku just chatted as if nothing ever happened. Vegeta listened to the soothing tone of his lover’s voice taking in the normality of the moment. It wasn’t too much longer before Capsule Corp. was in their sights, the prince wearing one of his trade mark smirks. The boys were already outside, their energy flowing rampant as they excitedly bounced around each other and Bulma.
   Vegeta was glad to see the boys as they touched down. Goten and Trunks ran to hurl themselves at Goku tackling their father to the ground as they attempted to squeeze him to death. Goku’s laughter was pleasing to Vegeta as he chuckled with the youngsters. Bulma made her way over the prince gently patting him on the arm.
“Hey Ge. So how does it feel?” The royal quirked an eyebrow at her.
“What do you mean woman?” Bulma chuckled.
“You know exactly what I mean Vegeta. How does it feel to have the family you’ve always deserved back together?” He tilted his head back a bit to regard his former wife.
“Do I detect a hint of jealously in that question blue?” he joked as he turn to face her.
“Not jealously at all Ge. I’m just glad your happy now. That’s all I ever wanted for you but don’t get me wrong I wish I could have made you as happy as Goku does. You know as well as I do things work out for themselves in the end. I’m not unhappy.” The prince turned back toward the boys to find Goku tickling them into submission, their faces stretched into broad smiles.
“To answer your question blue, most of what I feel is relief. I’ve never deserved the things I have and I’ve always felt that the things most important to me will one day be taken away. Just so happens today was not the day“ Bulma sighed sadly at her ex-lover.
“Ge dear, you have changed quite a bit since the first day I met you and I’m really glad you did but not everything great has to come to an end so early. Quit being so damned depressing.” Vegeta chuckled at that and was taken by surprised as small fingers wrapped themselves around his leg.
“Papa I thought you never were going to let us come home!” Goten exclaimed as if he really believed his own words. The prince smiled and pick the boy up. Even before Chichi’s death Goten had taken to Vegeta something that he found most surprising. Even the prince himself couldn’t understand the bond but none the less Kakarot’s child excepted him for who he was and that’s all that matters.
“Don’t’ be a baka Goten. You know I would never keep you from coming home. There were too many things going on at the time but everything is okay now.” Goten gave the royal a glare at the baka comment very akin to Vegeta’s own making the adult Saiyan smirk. Goten was much more like the prince than most thought. Maybe that’s why he latched onto his papa more than anyone.
   Putting Goten up on his shoulders he turned to face his mate and truck who were now mirroring them. Trunks smiled from atop Goku’s shoulders as the younger Saiyan walked up to them.
“Do you guys want to stay for awhile or do you plan on going back home right now?” Bulma asked the happy family. Goku smiled brightly.

“Bulma I think I would like to go home but could you call everyone and tell them that I’m alright? I don’t want them to be mad cause we didn’t call right away. I just don’t feel like being crowded right now.” Smiling Bulma gave each boys a kiss on the head making both Saiyan’s have to bend down.
“Sure I’ll take care of things on this end Goku and you can take care of things on your end. I want you to call later so we can talk for awhile okay.” Vegeta stepped away from Bulma to stand beside Kakarot.
“I’ll make sure he does Blue!” As he waved his goodbye Goku’s hand grabbed his forearm that was holding onto Goten, harshly. Still smiling Kakarot said his goodbyes as two fingers reached for his forehead. Before Bulma could say her goodbyes they instant transmission back home. Both Goten and Trunks leaped off their father’s shoulders and ran into the house. Vegeta watched the boys cautiously aware as his mate turned to him with a glare on his face.
“What the hell is that about?”
“What are you talking baka?” He retorted as frustration began to sink in. Kakarot started forward causing the royal to take an involuntary step back.
“When did you start calling her Blue?” Vegeta stared his lover down , pride now demanding he stand his ground.
“I’ve been calling her that for a long time as you well know. Why is it you suddenly have a problem with it?” Goku’s hand reached for Vegeta’s pulling his mate to his chest arms slipping around the smaller Saiyan tightly.
“You belong to me to do with as I wish. Not to some filthy human woman.” Kakarot’s dominating scent was almost choking the prince as he growled.
“It doesn’t work that way Goku. You know there is nothing between the onna and myself. Where do you get off calling her that. I don’t know what your problem is but let me go before you really piss me off.” Laughter caught the prince off guard as Goku’s left hand snaked its way up his back and into his hair pulling back sharply.
“I think you will start seeing things my way soon Geta. If you know what’s good for you.” Vegeta gasped as his claim mark was bitten for the second time that day causing him pain. It wasn’t much but the pain in his heart is what crimpled him the most. How was he to fight this thing his mate had become. He knew he couldn’t lie down and take it. Deep down he knew he would figure this out.
“Back off Kakarot.” By this time the royal had managed to slip out of the hold his lover had on him landing a hard blow to Goku’s shoulder. The earthen Saiyan stumbled a bit before he caught his footing giving the older man menacing look before it changed into a warm smile. Vegeta looked up to see Goten and Trunks running back out of the house toward them. The prince had never been so happy in his life that the boys were outside with them now. Thankful that Goku’s mood had changed when he sensed their energy. He was not ready to fight his mate yet and he definitely didn’t want to fight in front of their sons. Goten jumped up onto Vegeta’s right shoulder causing the man to wince as Trunks grabbed his other parents hand.
“Lets go Dad, Papa. We’re hungry.” They started making their way inside when Goten’s voice struck horror in older Saiyan’s heart.
“Papa your bleeding a lot.” Vegeta’s hand went to his neck as the other hand deposited Goten on the ground. Goku spoke up suddenly.
“Papa and I were sparing a little bit and he got a scratch. He is going to go take care of it now so use guys run along now to the kitchen.” The boys did as they were told leaving the prince on guard with his mate.
“Ge, what did you do to yourself? Let me take a look at it.“ Vegeta quickly brushed by Kakarot before his lover could touch him.
“Its nothing. I’ll be fine.” As the younger Saiyan watched him go his head gave another nasty throb and he decided to get a few sensu beans for it. He didn’t know why but Vegeta always seemed mad at him after his headaches. Shrugging he walked to the kitchen to help the boys with food. Maybe if he made the prince something good he wouldn’t be mad anymore.
   Vegeta stared into the mirror at his miserable face. The longer he stood there the more angry he became but he also knew he couldn’t go downstairs either. He rubbed his hands over his face looking at the bandage now on his neck. Things were quickly getting out of hand. Saiyan’s mate for life. So regardless of what happens between them he was trapped. Or at least that’s what he felt like at the moment. If this had happened when their relationship was knew Vegeta would have destroyed the younger Saiyan already. Now things had become precarious and he was wishing he had never mated. He loved Kakarot, he really did but this was one of his fears come to life. To be mated to a stronger Saiyan that now exploits their power over the submissive. He had to be smart to fight this but he was at a loss on what to do. Vegeta damned himself for being born submissive. Being submissive was something he loathed with all his might. A good fifteen minutes had passed before he decided to go down to check on everything. He was going to talk to Kakarot first then if nothing happened there was going to be a real fight and Vegeta knew somewhere in his soul that he wasn’t going to be the victor.
