It was late into the evening stars dimly highlighted bedroom. The stillness of the room was like a cold crypt, icy and chilling. The Earth raised Saiyan had woken to a world of pain. His head ached and his body was sore all over. Two days had past since he was attacked. He thought for sure that he going to loose his babies when that asshole had assaulted him again.

Tears ran down his pale face unchecked as he wrapped his arms protectively around his stomach. He couldn’t take much more abuse. His mental state was becoming a bit unstable. Why was this happening to him? He was like a magnet for trouble but this time he has no way of defending himself against this threat.

Goku turned over on his side to see Vegeta sleeping away from him. He almost cried at the sight. His lover was practically scared to sleep in the same bed with him for fear of him of going off the deep end. Goku decided right then and there that he wasn’t going to let this tear his relationship apart. He cared for Vegeta too much to give up.

The larger male hesitantly wrapped his arm around his lover. Vegeta woke with a start almost falling out of the bed, but Goku held on tight as he began to cry into Vegeta’s bare chest.

“I never meant to hurt you Geta. I’m sorry. I love you and I’m afraid that I might loose you because I was with another man” Goku cried even harder as he confesses his affair.

However, Vegeta knew that that this was not Goku’s fault. He sat-up in bed bringing the broken warrior with him. “Kay, listen to me. You have nothing to fear or to be ashamed of. I’m not going to leave you. Not now not ever. I’m the one who should be sorry for not being a better mate in protecting you, but I will never slack in my duty again that I promise you.”

And in that moment Goku realized that Vegeta would always be right there. He reached up and tenderly kissed his mate on the lips. Vegeta softly moaned into his mouth. This was the first step toward rebuilding their relationship, but they both knew that they have a long road ahead of them.

The wind blew through the open upstairs window cooling down the warrior’s heated skin. Yamcha stared unblinking at the wall on the opposite side of his room. He sighed heavily thinking about how he nearly loss his life because he was keeping his mouth shut, but he knew that either way it went he would still probably end up dead by the hands of the Saiyan royal.

Yamcha closed his eyes hoping to get some more rest. His insides still hurt and his arm throbbed from the breakage. He never thought in a billion years that Vegeta would strike without mercy, but then again it was Vegeta.

Yamcha’s eyes suddenly snapped opened when he felt someone else in his .
.

“What do you want?”

“Now, that’s no way to greet me.” The light husky voice said.

“You’re the reason I’m in this shape in the first place” Yamcha bite back.

Laughter filled the room.

“You find that funny do you. Well, I’m not laughing. Do you know that it’s only a matter of time before Vegeta figures out that it’s you and not me? I fuckin’ told you to stay away from Goku but noooo you wouldn’t listen. Now, you may as well have signed my Death warrant yourself by involving me”

The medium built male crossed the room and knelt in front of Yamcha. “You worry too much.”

“I have no desire to die again and never come back to life. You however can” Yamcha said.

The other male leaned in closer. “I will have my prize and no body’s going to stop me.”

“You’re crazy. Goku is mated to a prince and after what you’ve done I would be very surprise that he’ll let you live.”

“I got something to share with you” The other’s voice was low ignoring the comment that Yamcha just made. “Your friend is pregnant with my child”

Yamcha’s eyes widen almost popping out of his head. /No wonder Vegeta’s was stark raving mad. Goku’s pregnant with this nut’s kid/

The male stood ready to leave, but Yamcha needed to know. “Why are you doing this?”

Yamcha’s visitor stood quietly at the window staring out into the dark moonless night. He absent-mindedly stroked the scar that resembled a cross on his lower right jaw.

He turned slightly. “Because ever since I had laid eyes on him, I knew that he was the only one that I ever had wanted.”

Yamcha was now shivering as the cool night air filled the room. He somehow came to the conclusion that he was being punished for leading a life of crime. He thought by changing his old ways that it would make-up for all the bad deeds that he’d done, but apparently not.

“What you did to Goku was wrong and I will never forgive for that.”

“But I couldn’t have him no other way” Regret was somehow laced with the answer.

Yamcha snorted. “You idiot. Obviously, when you were sneaking around in Bulma’s lab you didn’t bother looking up mated pairs.” He waited patiently as short spiked hair swayed slightly as a negative reply.

“Well, you should have. Once a dominant claims another they are bound together, forever. Goku will never leave Vegeta and Vegeta will do *anything* to protect Goku.”

At least Yamcha was paying attention to Bulma when she explained Saiyan mating rituals. He was actually fascinated by the idea of being paired to only one mate but it was a concept that was far from his gasp seeing that he was still kind of shy of when it came to women or keeping the right woman.

“I didn’t expect you to understand.” With that as his parting words Yamcha’s ‘guest’ left.

“Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. He’s gonna get me killed.” Yamcha laid back against his pillow thinking about how in the world he was going to save his skin.

/I’ll call Bulma in the morning and tell her the truth/ He thought. Maybe he can convince her to keep Vegeta from killing him but just in case he was going to update his Will before he calls her.

West City Medical Hospital~~

Isha sat-up from her position over her computer. Her green eyes were tired from staring at the monitor all day. She had been reviewing Goku’s most recent ultra sound photos and measurements, which wasn’t making any sense to her. She gave Bulma a call and told her about it. Now the petite brunette was waiting for her friend to show-up.

Isha looked up from her workstation as the double doors to the lab opened.

“Thanks for coming over on such short notice, Bulma”

“Hey no prob. Isha. So, what is it that you need for me to look at?”

Isha handed Bulma a manila folder marked Son, G.

Bulma opened where an orange sticky tag was showing. She took her time scanning the contents. Bulma flipped through a few more pages and her eyes settled on the recent test results.

“omg! Is this right?”

Isha nodded her head. “Goku is actually twenty-two weeks. I guess since Vegeta started taking care of him the actual size of the twins have double to their normal weight and length.”

“Vegeta’s going to flip. That or pass out one.” Bulma said with a smile tugging at the edge of her lips. “Come-on it seems that we gotta make another trip over there.”

“Yeah, I know. If we continue to that we might end up as permanent fixtures there”

Both girls laughed as Isha gathered her medical capsules. It seems that it was never a dull moment with Bulma and her friends. She could actually get use to this type of action just as long as Vegeta stayed calm. The two friends walked out of the lab together heading toward Vegeta and Goku’s cabin in the woods.

A/N: Whom do you thinmchamcha was talking too? Well, whoever it was has a thing for Goku. And what did Bulma find out when Isha called her? Hmm, I don’t know but we’re going to know in the next chapter. Stay tuned ^_~

Teaser for Chapter 8:

Bulma was on the phone talking to her friend. She could hear that he was scared to death. She didn’t know how she was going to help him out of this. The genius was running out the door intending on getting the full story from Yamcha. He was too upset to even talk over the phone she was only getting bits and pieces of what he was saying. She told him that she would over in twenty minutes.

Bulma opened the door to come face to face with none other than-
