Chapter Five: The News and Change of Life. (5 Years Before DBZ start)

Raditz sighed walking into the medical bay; a week had past and Vegeta had yet to awaken or been taken out of the tank. He was limping; he hadn’t slept in three days and looked like he’d seen better days. His skin was married with ugly black and blue burses. For mating with Vegeta and getting him pregnant; Frieza had been punishing the saiyan for it by sending him to be the punching bag for Captain Ginyu to teach new techniques to his men and didn’t bother to hold back on most of the hits. He walked over to the tank Vegeta was in, sitting on a stool, watching the face of his mate. He could have sworn the man was asleep if he wasn’t in the tank. “Morning Raditz, I see the good captain hasn’t been holding back again on you.”

“Morning doc’” Raditz said in response not really caring that the man was talking to him. He was having troubles keeping his eyes open.

“What does lord Frieza have planned for you today?”

“I have to go met the new group of recruits in about an hour. I just wanted to cheek on Vegeta before I headed over.” He said running his hands over his face, trying to keep himself awake.

“I was going to wait till Vegeta woke up so I could tell you both this but you look like you need something to keep you going. The child he’s pregnant with; it’s a girl.” Raditz looked at the man, unsure of what he would do with that knowledge. Before the planet blow up; 1 in every 100 births were that of a female, making them a rarity even on the home world. Now that the planet was gone and the race pretty much dead; a pure blooded female saiyan would be the rarest thing in the universe.

“Frieza already know this, doesn’t he?” the doctor nodded. He didn’t know what to do. Suddenly a beeping sound came from the tank; Raditz turned to look at the tank to see the fluid draining out of it. Vegeta opened his eyes as the door open, confusion filled his eyes as he looked about, taking things in. He pulled the mask off himself and stepped out not caring that he was naked. “How are you feeling my prince?” Raditz asked with a bow to Vegeta.

The room was silent waiting for Vegeta’s answer. “Better than your looking Raditz” Vegeta said cockily. Raditz chuckled and pulled Vegeta to him, kissing him gently. Vegeta growled weakly wanting to shove the other off him but couldn’t, his body wanted the warmth the other offered.

“You know where the cloths are Vegeta, get dressed and take Raditz with you to eat, he’ll fill you in on what you’ve missed over the week you’ve been in the tank.” The Doctor said. Vegeta nodded, quickly going over to grab a set of cloths, dressing, before fallowing Raditz out of the medical bay. He still could believe that he been in the tank for a week. Even on the brink of death it only took two days in the tank to fully heal.

“The fluid, it was purple ‘Geta. Test came in during the night, it’s a girl” Raditz said softly. He didn’t need to say more. Vegeta got it. The prince went pale; he stopped in the hall looking up at Raditz nervously. Raditz stopped and leaned against the wall as he stood beside Vegeta. “Just say whatever it is that you want to say Vegeta.” he said with a sigh. He was tired, sore and emotionally drained at the moment. He didn’t care if he sounded like an ass about it but Vegeta wasn’t making things easy on him.

“It just took me by surprise is all...look can we talk about this later today after you get some sleep?”

“I’m not heading to bed Vegeta, I have to go met the new recruits, if I’m lucky, I can get 4 hours of sleep before going to be Ginyu’s punching beg for the night, only to do it all over again tomorrow. If you really want to talk about it tonight, we can, just met me at my apartment for 5.” Raditz said, pushing himself off the wall walking away from Vegeta who quickly followed after him.

“Raditz... seriously you need to stop doing this to yourself, you don’t need to pull double duties”

“I don’t have a choice Vegeta, Frieza order me to do the night training with the Ginyu force and I don’t want to give up training the newest recruits. Beside’s you never cared that much in the past about it so why now?” he asked as he kept walking. Within two weeks everything the two had known about dealing with each other had changed drastically. Normally the two only talked about upcoming missions they were on together or about the nightmare’s Vegeta would have other than that, they lived two very different lives. Vegeta and Nappa would go out on missions while Raditz train the new recruits and test new inventions before they got used in the field.

“Because we didn’t have a child to worry about before now. I’ll be there Raditz, Nappa might also be there to hear about what the plan is for when she’s born.” Vegeta said softly. Raditz pulled Vegeta to him, kissing him gently.

“Don’t worry about me Vegeta, I’ll be fine, just look after yourself and our Princess okay?” Raditz whispered as he gently ran the back of his fingers down the side of Vegeta’s face. “I’ll see you tonight ‘Geta” he said before stepping away from the prince. Vegeta sighed watching Raditz walk off. The day past slowly for both men as they went about their day. By the time evening came, Raditz was dragging himself into his small two bedroom apartment. The living room and kitchen where conjoined into one room that was scarcely decorated. A couch, couple of chairs, coffee table and a bookshelf was all that was really in the room. His bedroom had a bed and dresser. The other room was empty. He didn’t know what to do with it.

He laid on the couch with a heavy sigh. Vegeta wasn’t there, it didn’t show signs of him being there. He hoped that Vegeta hadn’t changed his mind. It was eating at the man. He wanted nothing more than to just sleep for a week in his bed with Vegeta at his side but it didn’t look like that was going to happen. The fight he and Vegeta had during the last mission was still fresh in his mind. The fact Vegeta didn’t want a family and he did. It looked like it was going to finish driving the two apart. He didn’t know where it all went downhill, he and Vegeta use to be close as children but he was guessing that it all came down to how much time other two shared together that allowed for the distance and yet Vegeta couldn’t release him from the promise he made to Vegeta when the planet was destroyed. He finally closed his eyes to get some sleep when he heard the door to his apartment to open then closed softly.

He waited a moment before opening his eyes; sitting the chair that he could see was Vegeta watching him. Neither knew what to say or where to start. Raditz sat up and held out his hand to Vegeta, after a moment Vegeta took he hand, quickly finding himself in sitting in front of Raditz. His back pressed against the chest of the larger man, arms wrapped around him. “I want you to move in with me, I want to raise our daughter together but I get that might be moving too fast for you Vegeta. At the very least I got an extra room where we get can set up for her and my door is always open for you and Nappa.” He said softly breaking the silence. He enjoyed the moment, he knew they were bound together but he knew that if Vegeta wasn’t ready to be with him it wouldn’t happen. It all depended on the Vegeta’s mood and where he was sitting with everything.

“Nappa told me what you did. When I got stabbed; you risked your life to get me medical help. He also told me how you came to cheek on me the whole time I was in the tanks, even though you needed sleep. I’d be a fool to let you go, not after everything you’ve done to keep me and our daughter alive. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I want to live here, with you” he said cuddling into Raditz, holding onto the arms holding him. Raditz smiled as he let his eye close. He was close to dozing off when Vegeta shifted in his arms. He was about to open his eyes when he felt a pair of soft, warm lips pressed against his. “I talked to Frieza this afternoon. You no longer have to go train with the Ginyu force; though you are going have to help me move my stuff in here. Everything is already packed up, ready to go. The sooner we get it my stuff here, the sooner we can go to bed” Raditz laughed lightly shaking his head.

Within three hours; all of Vegeta’s belonging where in Raditz’s apartment and unpacked. The pair ate dinner, bathed and crawled into the double bed. It was a cozy fit but neither seemed to mind it. Over the next six month they fell into a confertable co-existence together, the peace was only interrupted by Vegeta’s emotional rollercoaster. Now that he was showing signs of the pregnancy, he kept frowning at himself, saying how fat he was, even though Raditz didn’t see the prince that way. To him Vegeta was showing signs of how strong and healthy their daughter was becoming. He couldn’t wait for her to be born. For the most part; the second room had been turned into a nursery the only things missing was the girl and a rocking chair for Vegeta.

Vegeta had woken up alone in the bed. It wasn’t new for him since Raditz often had to get the cadets up, fed and training before 9 in the morning. He smiled knowing his mate let him sleep in seeing the day’s light shining into the apartment. He got up, a hand on his extended stomach. He had another month left in the pregnancy though at times he just wanted the child out of him. He missed his warrior’s body and though he was happy to have the child, he was depressed about the work he would have to put into his body to get it back in shape again. He hadn’t stopped training but it had been slowly getting harder and harder for him to train with his growing belly. He started to make himself something to eat for breakfast when there was a knock on the door.

Sighing he walked over to it, looking out the peep hole to see Nappa standing there. He rolled his eyes, opening the door for the other. “How many times do I have to say, just walk in?” Vegeta asked returning to his task of making himself something to eat. Fried banana and peanut butter sandwich covered in chocolate syrup that had become his favorite breakfast food over the last six months.

“Till I hear it from Raditz, I’m not walking in uninvited, so deal with it. Freiza wants to send the two of us on a simple assignment, go scout out a new planet in the west quadrant, there might be something there of value and since you have to be careful, he figured this would be a simple enough of a mission to do before the princess arrives. Speaking of her, have you two named her yet?”Nappa asked. Vegeta rolled his eyes.

“He would still send me out on assignments in this condition...I swear he’s trying to kill me along with my daughter. Not really but there is a name we’re considering.” He said just as a sharp pain ran through his stomach. It wasn’t the first morning this happened; normally it was a sign that he was hungrier than he thought. He looked at his stack of 7 sandwiches, he see how it would go, if he was still hungry, he’d make Nappa cook him more food. He just needed to sit with the pain racing through his body for a bit.

“It won’t be that bad, I doubt you’ll even have to lift a finger to do anything for this; though we’d be cutting it close to the due-date.” Vegeta groaned at that thought. He really didn’t want to give birth somewhere outside of the medical bay, it was dangerous for transfer males to do that over females; since transfers bodies have to change to accommodate the pregnancy and the birth. Early births were a dangerous thing with transfers since it almost always resulted in deaths of the transfer and possible that of the child as well.

By the time he got to his final sandwich, the pain was back and he felt wetness running down his thighs. He put his sandwich down. The color drained from his face. “I think the assignments going to someone else...I think my water just broke.”

“You can’t be serious Vegeta, there’s still a month to go before the birth.” Nappa said, getting up to help Vegeta up.

“Yeah well tell that to her, I kind of don’t have a say at this point” Vegeta snapped back. At least the pain was passing at the moment. Nappa wrapped Vegeta up in a blanket before picking him up. “I can walk Nappa!!”

“I know you can but it’s only going to make things worse on yourself. I’m not going to listen to Raditz yell at me for letting you walk there” he said ignoring Vegeta’s complaints about it as he headed for the Medical Bay.
