WARNINGS: This is about male/male relationships if you have a problem with that then I suggest that you go elsewhere.

Notes: First of all I would like to say that I hope everyone is enjoying Spring Break for those who are in school! Next, I would like to thank each and every one for the fantastic reviews ^_~

~Kaiya: Hai, you’re right! Yamcha does know something. Can you figure out what it is? And sorry but it’s not Gohan.

~Neila B: No, Goku would not lie about something as serious as this.

~V: You know, Yamcha c be be telling the truth but you never know ^_~ You still might get your opportunity to do away with him.

~Kewla: Vegeta had to let Yamcha go. It would have been bad if the Saiyan prince went ahead and killed him when everyone was coming to Yamcha’s defense. And as for the abortion just read on and find out what Kay and Geta decides to do ^_~

~SeaStorm: I’m glad that you loved that line too. I have to sometimes really think about heartfelt lines. That was something that I thouabouabout for a while and trust me I had to rewrite that line few times to get it exactly how I wanted it to sound ^_~

Now enough of my endless chatter on with the story. Enjoy!

~oOo@oOo~

It had been a couple of hours since Goku had seen Vegeta and during that time Bulma had called a colleague of hers to come over to the compound ASAP.

Goku paced back and forth in his room waiting for his mate to come home. He was too agitated to lay down or sit. He figured that if he didn’t stop walking the length of the room he would wear a hole into it. His dark tail swung behind nervously as if it knew something bad was going to happen and it did.

Goku nearly destroyed Bulma’s medical lab when she told him that the doctor needed to perform some tests on him that might involve the use of needles and that’s when he lost it.

He was scared beyond any thing. He didn’t want to go through any of the tests that Bulma’s friend was explaining to him. He was just getting sick just thinking about, so Bulma thought that it was best if they wait for Vegeta to come back.

Trunks and Goten were lounging on the sofa in the family room as Vegeta walked pass them unnoticed. Both demi-Saiyans were fast asleep. Trunks was laying on his back with Goten on top of him. The young prince had one arm wrapped around his boyfriend while the other one was tucked behind his head.

Vegeta shook his head at the scene. He didn’t understand why the brats don’t just go ahead and mate and be done with it. Young people now a days.

“Ge” Vegeta was ascending the spiral staircase when Bulma called him.

“Make it good onna I’m in a bad mood.”

The royal was going to keep what he had found out to himself. Vegeta wasn’t going to worry Bulma or Goku about the fact the Yamcha probably was innocent but as far as he was concerned the weakling was still number one in his book.

“We couldn’t get Goku to do any of the tests. He refuse to do them unless you were present.”

He rolled his eyes and grumbled somewhat before answering. “Fine.” It seems that his day was getting worse with each passing minute.

~ Medical Lab ~

Try as they might under any circumstance they couldn’t get Earth’s protector to come into the med-lab. Vegeta’s last nerve finally snapped and pinched Goku behind his neck. The brawny warrior fell over on the smaller male in one fluid motion. Vegeta smirked. His method of rendering his mate unconscious gave him a small sense of superiority over the powerful Saiyan.

Quickly, Bulma ran over to them and injected Goku with a mild sedative. Vegeta stood off to one side of the examining room to make sure that the doctor didn’t do anything unethical. Vegeta’s tail twitched in anticipation for the doctor to slip-up. He was itching to spill some blood today.

A few more hours went by and everything was completed. Isha gathered Bulma and Vegeta in thxt rxt room just in case Goku woke-up. She didn’t want him to hear them discussing the test results. She was wanted to talk with him and Vegeta together.

“Well, every thing looks good. The babies are healthy with all things considered and from the measurement of Goku’s abdomen your partner is about 8 ½ weeks pregnant.”

Vegeta couldn’t see straight after the doctor said that. “Are you telling me, us that Kakarott is pregnant with twins?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. I’m very surprised that he hasn’t lost them for the mere fact that he’s severally under weight.”

Vegeta wished that were the case.

“Can you still perform the abortion?” Bulma asked.

“Hai but there are some risks involved” She answered.

“What kind of risks?”

“Anything can happen. He could hemorrhage or he can go into shock. Worse Goku can die. I’ve never seen anything like this.”

True, Bulma had told her friend to expect the unexpected.

“Why would you want Goku to have an abortion? Do you not want to have any children?”

The prince crossed his arms in their customary position he didn’t have to justify himself to anyone especially a human. However, he had to reconsider about having Goku go through the surgery. It could kill them and his wasn’t ready to die just yet, not until he gets revenge on the low life that ruined his mate’s life.

Bulma looked over at her ex-husband and decided that he was dead set on not answeringh, Ih, It’s like this Isha, the babies are not his” Bulma nervously said.

Isha face vaulted. “Are they yours?”

The scientific genius cheeks turned red she didn’t think about that possibility considering that she didn’t have the right equipment.

“Um, no. Goku was assaulted by another male” That was all that Bulma needed to say.

Isha clearly understood why Vegeta was so angry. Someone attacked his lover and impregnated him and now he wanted to terminate the fetuses “I “I can have him prepped and ready within the hour.” Isha stood to go ahead with the surgery.

“Matte! Don’t do it,” Vegeta said as much as he hated to do this.

“Ge, I thought that you didn’t want Goku to have them,” Bulma said.

“I don’t but if it’s at the cost of his life then no. We’re going to have find a way to deal with the brats after they are born.”

“Okay. Isha can you take over as Goku’s obstetrician?”

With a huge smile Isha said, “Yeah, it would be my pleasure.” She left to go check on her new patient.

Bulma turned to Vegeta. “I hope you know what you’re doing?”

~oOo@oOo~

Over the course of eighteen weeks Goku had regained some of his sanity and the depression was ebbing away. He even let down his mental barriers and allowed Vegeta to know how he was feeling. The prince was saddened at his mate’s pain and misery. The weight alone was enough to make him cry. He couldn’t do a thing other than support Goku and help him through this.

It was hard when Vegeta started staying with the Earth raised Saiyan again. Months had gone by since they were together let alone be intimate. The prince wasn’t going to push the issue he could wait until Goku was ready but he had to tread lightly around him. Vegeta was unsure how Goku would act.

The most challenging part was the first night that they slept in bed together. Goku nearly freaked out about that.

~ Flashback ~

It had been a long day for both of them. Goku was silent the entire time as they flew through the forest and wide-open mountain terrain. Vegeta was lost in thought as he flew. Isha sent them home warning him that Goku might have a relapse and to expect mood swings.

They landed in front of their temporary (but more than likely permanent) home without saying a word to each other. Goku went straight to his room, took a shower and went to bed. He was exhausted from the flight and could barely keep his eyes open.

A few hours later Vegeta had called it a night after training out in the forest not far away. He stripped out of his black spandex body suit and went into the bathroom intent on taking a long hot shower.

After his shower, Vegeta wanted nothing more than to sleep. He was spent. The day left him drained. Vegeta automatically made his way to the bed and crawled in behind Goku without really thinking. He wrapped his arm around his mate closed his eyes hoping that sleep wouldn’t elhim him tonight.

Goku dark eyes suddenly snapped open and his heart began to race. It felt like his was drowning. That dream. The same dream that haunted him since Christmas was threatening his very existence. He looked down to see and arm around his waist then he turned his head only to see a mop of raven hair.

The prince found himself on the floor not realizing that Goku shoved him out of the bed.

“STAY AWAY FROM ME!”

Vegeta saw the scared looked in his partner’s eyes. He cto tto the conclusion that Goku was having a flashback from his attack.

“Kakarott, it’s me Vegeta.”

Vegeta stayed on the other side of the bed not making a move.

“NO! STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!” Goku was not listening.

Vegeta knew that he had to get through to Goku some how. ::Kay, it me Vegeta::

This was Vegeta’s first attempt to access Goku’s mind. The large Saiyan had kept up his mental defenses for quite some time but seeing that he was reliving his attack Vegeta took full advantage of the situation. Goku slacked off somewhat, which made it easy for the Saiyan prince. Vegeta didn’t have to push as much to get in.

“No it’s a trick! You just wanna hurt me again!” The larger male hissed.

::Kay, snap out of it. It’s no trick. Remember that I told you that I would never hurt you. I love you too much to consider such a thing:: Vegeta kept his voice low and even. It wouldn’t due if he sounded threatening to his lover.

Goku’s onyx orbs slowly came back into focus. He blinked a few times that must have had worked. “Geta?”

“Hai, baka.” The royal made his way over to the other side of the bed. “Daijobu?” He ran a callous hand through damp spiky hair pushing stray strands out of Goku’s face.

“I. I’m fine” Goku was panting slightly letting himself be placed on the bed without a fuss.

Vegeta got in bed again pulling the covers up over them. He was about to hug Goku but the other male stopped him.

“Please don’t” Goku was trying his best not to cry.

“Why?”

“I don’t want the nightmares to come again.”

“Alright Kakarott.” Vegeta turned over. This was going to be a rough ride. How in the Hell can he help Goku if the nut won’t let him in?

Goku laid in bed awake for a few hours after that. This was hurting him and he knew it. He was pushing Vegeta away. This was the time that he needed Vegeta to ease the pain away from being violated. He was terrified but he should know better than to think that Vegeta would ever do anything to him. This was all Yamcha’s fucking fault.

Goku couldn’t understand why his friend would do that to him. Not to mention why he was jealous of Vegeta. Everyone knew that the full-blooded males had a strong attraction for each other. He tried to dredge up that night. Something about Yamcha was off and he couldn’t put his finger to it, yet. He gave up thinking about what happened and drifted off to sleep.

Some time during the night, Goku snuggled against his partner’s back wrapping his muscular arm around Vegeta’s middle as his black tail round the prince’s wrist. Apparently, Goku’s subconscious needed to feel secure.

And he did for the first time since his attack Goku was able to sleep throughout the night.

~ End of Flashback ~

It was decided that Chi-Chi would be the twin’s guardian. Vegeta didn’t want to separate them and he didn’t want to have the responsibility of raising them either. The amazon was delighted to have babies under foot again.

Goku wasn’t happy about the fact that he had to give-up his children but he had no choice. He would still be able to visit with them and see them whenever he wanted too but it wouldn’t be the same as having them all the time. He was not going to sacrifice his happiness for someone else’s mistake.

The Saiyan couple retreated back to cabin in the woods where Goku would able to get plenty of rest. His doctor told him that he needed to stay off his feet as much as possible to prevent swelling and preterm labor.

Hs als already into his four month. Goku was showing a little and was feeling the movement of the babies and because he was carrying two infants his appetite was monstrous.

Vegeta had left for the afternoon to go grocery shopping for the house. Now that his mate was doing better Goku’s appetite had returned with a vengeance. The brawny warrior wolfed down everything that was edible.

The only thing that Vegeta could do was watch in silent awe. Nothing was safe Vegeta even had to find a hiding place for his cinnamon toast crunch cereal bars [ 1 ]. Goku had developed a sweet tooth for the sugary snack and Vegeta couldn’t keep the stuff in the house.

Goku laid stretched out on the sofa in the living room absent-mindedly stroking his small rounded belly. It was a little past 2:00 in the afternoon when he decided to have his shower. He slipped off his orange gi uniform as the water ran filling the bathroom with rich hot white steam. Goku stepped into the tub letting the relaxing stream of heat hit his tired body when he heard the door open.

“Geta, I hope that you got everything?” Goku said over the hot running water. After a few minutes of no reply he called out to his lover again. “Vegeta?”

The shower curtains were thrown back and a hand was clamped down over is mouth as he felt something sharp being jabbed into his shoulder catching him by surprise. Goku slumped over unable to move.

“You know Goku I just love it when you fall for me like this”

That was all that tall Saiyan heard as he was being dragged out of the bathroom into the bedroom.

~oOo@oOo~

An hour and a half later ~~

Bulma and Isha had landed a few yards away from the cabin. Today was Goku’s weekly follow-up. Isha wanted to make sure that Goku was back on track with his prenatal care. The girls walked up on the porch when they noticed that the door was slightly ajar.

“Goku? Vegeta? It’s Bulma”

“Maybe they’re out”

“Nah, it’s not like them to leave the front door open,” Bulma said as they headed toward the bedroom.

Bulma and Isha walked into the master bedroom unprepared for what they saw.

“omg! Bulma” Isha whispered. Her hand unconsciously covering her mouth.

“GOKU!’ Bulma ran to her friend’s side. She was trying not to let her emotions get the best of her. She needed to stay composed.

Isha pulled out her medical bag and began checking her patient over. “Who would do something like this?”

“I don’t know but I’m guessing it’s the same creep that got him pregnant. Vegeta’s going to flip when we tell him,” Bulma said. Images of stringing Yamcha up by his balls were running rampant in her head.

No doubt that the prince would lose it. Vegeta was very protective of Goku especially now.

“Well, Bulma he’s going to be sleeping for a while,” Isha said.

“How bad is it?” The genius asked.

“I have him hooked up to an IV and some pain meds. The twins are doing well. I’ve repaired the damage that was done, but I won’t know for sure how he is doing until he wakes up and when he does wake-up he going to need a lot of support”

Bulma nodded her head then she heard the front door open and close. Her heart started pounding in her chest. She prayed to Kami that Vegeta didn’t take his anger out on her. Today was not a good day to die by the hands of a Saiyan.

Bulma eased into the kitchen. Vegeta was putting the groceries away when he felt his ex-wife’s presence.

“Don’t you know that you can’t sneak up on me onna?”

“Yeah, Ge I know”

Something in Bulma’s voice made Vegeta quickly turn around to face her. “Out with it. I can practically smell your fear about something”

“While you were gone, Isha and I came over to see how Goku was feeling and, and---” Bulma couldn’t finish her sentence she started crying.

Vegeta immediately dropped everything that he was handling and ran into the bedroom.

The only sound that could be heard throughout the forest was the anguish cry of the Prince of all Saiyans. Birds and animals scurried from their burrows and nests as they tried to get away from ear piercing scream that threatened to shatter their ears.

[ 1 ] That was what I craved during my pregnancy ^_~

A/N: Hai, I’m evil for ending it there but hey what can I say ^_~

Do you think that Vegeta went overboard about making Goku give-up the babies? And what the heck happen to make Geta go crazy like that? Tell me what you think. All thoughts and comments are welcomed!
