Nine Month Hell

(This takes place about two weeks after Frieza came to Earth to get Goku.)


Raditz looked around the familiar settings of Frieza’s ship. He had a lot of bad memories here but said nothing as the Icejin lead him around. Frieza always did favor him over Nappa but then again he could see why. Both he and Vegeta were way better looking than the old bald headed oaf but then again Nappa did have a quality about him that Raditz really enjoyed.

“So many memories here right, Raditz,” Frieza said looking back at the monkey with a funny look in his eyes.

“Yes,” Raditz said having learned a long time ago in how to keep his cool.

“Say I see that, Nappa, is mated. It’s about time that retarded monkey found someone to keep him in line. I feel sorry for the one who had to mate him though, must be hard to take care of an idiot all the time,” Frieza taunted.

Raditz bowed up but then remembered where he was and who he was talking to so he backed down for now. Frieza’s smile widened at his reaction and he nearly slapped himself in the face for acting that way. Frieza wasn’t insulting Nappa because he wanted to, no he was just trying to see if it was him who mated Nappa.

“I can not say that I am surprised that the two of you are together. After all you two have been with each other since the end of your planet. I am wondering though, do you yet know about the gift that you are carrying.”

“What gift?” Raditz asked confused.

“Have you not felt off?” Frieza asked turning to look at him with shock.

Now that he thought about it he did feel a little sick in the mornings but nothing really bad. He also started to become less and less hungry then he should. Food just didn’t seem as good as it used to, but other than those small things he really didn’t feel all that strange.

“A little but it’s probably just the change in gravity.”

“I do not think so. You are pregnant my dear Raditz. I’d say your are about a week or two into it.”

Raditz stopped in his tracks at those words his eyes widening and his hand going to his stomach. He used the little technique that Kakkarot taught him and sought out inside of his own body. It took him a minuet but there he found his baby, the Ki signature was small but strong. His eyes popped open and began to water at the thought of being a ‘mommy’, he needed to go tell his mate the good news. No, he needed to pound Nappa into the floor and then tell him the good news. This was Nappa’s fault after all, he had told him to keep his hands off of him but he couldn’t. Every night since they mated he took advantage of the down time to get into his pants, or actually to get him out of his pants.

“I-I have to go tell, Nappa,” Raditz said turning on his heal but before he ran off he turned back around and out of habit bowed to Frieza and then ran off.

Out of breath and still seething with a mixture of joy and anger he kicked open the door to his and his mates room. His mate grunted when he looked up from whatever it was he was failing to read. One look told him enough that his long haired lover was in a rather foul mood.

“Did, Frieza, poke fun at you or something?” Nappa asked looking over at him.

“No, but he did tell me something that might interest you. First I think I will just pound you into the floor until I am satisfied,” Raditz growled not sparring another second before he attacked.

Nappa held up his own for a moment but even he was over whelmed by the fury that his mate was putting into his punches. After what seemed like forever Raditz wore himself out and fell sideways off of Nappa panting heavily. Nappa laughed softly as he wiped the blood off of his mouth and nose looking at it.

“That was one hell of a tantrum. Now are you going to tell me what got into you?” Nappa asked turning to look at Raditz with an intelligence that he his behind his retarded mask.

“Yeah, I am pregnant with your cub,” Raditz said blushing.

“Are you serious?”

“Why would I joke about something like that you moron! You are going to be a father.”

“Wow, I never thought that it would happen to me.”

“Trust me I didn’t expect it to happen so soon either. Then again I am not surprised with how much you jump me.”

“You like it and you know it. A cub of my own, now there’s something to be proud of. Not only that his mother is a Super Saiyan.”

“You know it could be a female,” Raditz pointed out even though he knew the chance of that would be less than zero.

“Please, my entire family is based on males. Even my mother was a male, so was yours you know. It’ll be most likely male with strong genes just like me and you.”

Raditz huffed, he wouldn’t mind having a little girl just once. Maybe if this one was a male then they could try for a girl next time. Sighing he punched his mate in the arm just one more time for good measure. He would have to change his life style to fit a little pup into his schedule. Then again he probably would have to raise it all on his own, he was sure that Nappa wasn’t up to diaper duty and nightly feedings in the middle of their rest.

Nappa glanced over at Raditz trying to figure out what was going through his mind at that moment. He could guess that it was about him taking care of the pup or there lack of. He would not leave him to raise the baby alone, it was not in his nature. If he was going to be a father than he was going to do it right the first time. He heaved a heavy sigh as he gather his feet under him and stood, he bent down and lifted his mate into his arms.

“HEY!” Raditz protested the sudden move.

“Oh be quiet. I am not hurting you, I am just going to put you on the bed where you’ll be much more comfortable. I have to go see Kakkarot about something and then I will be back you just stay here,” Nappa said placing him carefully in the center of the bed.

“I can wander around if I want to. I am not going to get into any trouble.”

“Knowing you, that will be the first thing that you do. Now stay here until I get back.”

“What if I don’t wanna?”

“Then I will tie you down and make you stay. Don’t test me, Raditz, I will not hurt you but I will not let you go running around to get hurt either.”

Raditz huffed but nodded his head, he didn’t want to get hurt either. He wasn’t weak but he also had another life to worry about than his own. In fact he had two other lives to worry about than his own. He wouldn’t let Nappa die because of him, no he made that mistake with his own brother when they both were killed.

Nappa pecked Raditz on the forehead before turning and leaving the room. His mind was a jumbled mess and he almost forgot to put up his act again, he didn’t need everyone knowing that he was smarter than he let them believe. He rapped on Kakkarot’s door and waited until he was told that he could enter. Walking in he was greeted by a nice site, Kakkarot shirtless and still slightly dripping wet from his shower. This could prove to be an interesting talk after all.

Raditz had enough of just sitting around doing nothing so he got off of the bed and stretched his legs. Still it did nothing to appease the feeling of being trapped in a small space. He was highly claustrophobic and being told to stay in one spot so long made him itch and panic. He really didn’t want to make his mate angry but he just couldn’t stay in the room one more moment so he opened the door and walked out into the hallway. It was empty so he thought that he might be able to get in a short walk and make it back to the room with out being discovered. However he was not so lucky and halfway through his walk he ran into one person that he really didn’t want to run into.

“Ah, if it isn’t my old friend, Raditz,” the blue alien said with sarcasm.

“Funny I don’t remember ever being a friend to you, Zarbon,” Raditz hissed backing away.

“Where are you running to in such a hurry?” a pink monster asked walking up behind him.

“Dodoria, what do you want?”

“We heard a juicy little rumor that you were pregnant and we just wanted to see if it’s true. I think we should beat it out of him don’t you think Zarbon?”

“No! Are you trying to get yourself killed again. Frieza will not accept you killing it, he wants it alive.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Raditz sighed in relief that at least for once Frieza was helping instead of hurting. Still he wasn’t sure what they were going to do to him.

“That doesn’t mean we can’t rough him up a bit. After all we do owe him a few do we not?” Zarbon asked with a cold smile.

“Yes, I think that we do.”

Raditz swallowed thickly and closed his eyes as a large, fat, and pink fist came at his face. However it didn’t hit him and he opened one eye to find a very angry Nappa standing over the fallen form of Dodoria. His brother was standing in front of Zarbon with Toma beside him snarling like a wolf.

“You will not lay a finger on my cub!” Toma growled trying to control his power.

“You are lucky that I am not in a bad mood otherwise your pink ass would be plastered in pieces all over this white hallway. Don’ ever touch m’ mate you bastard!” Nappa almost screamed.

Bardock bent down and pulled Raditz up to his feet, he wasn’t aware that he had even fallen over. Shaking with both fear and rage Raditz didn’t spare a thought as he charged Dodoria with everything that he had only to be caught and drug back by Nappa. Though it didn’t stop him from snarling and flailing at the pink monster with everything that he had. Nappa had to hold him closer to his chest as he began to back way from the scene and make his way back to their room.

Before he even got three steps away Dodoria charged them but was sucker punched into the far wall by Bardock. Kakkarot volunteered to stay behind until everyone was out of the hallway and back to their proper places where ever that was. Zarbon left with out another word, Dodoria however left with a bray of curses and yelps.

Nappa walked in silence back to their room, Raditz had finally quieted down and went limp in his arms sometime ago. He kicked the door open and closed as he placed his mate back onto their bed, once he looked he noticed that Raditz had a far away look in his eyes.

“I told you not to leave the room. Why did you ignore me?” Nappa asked softly.

“I couldn’t stand being caged anymore. I had to be free.”

“Caged? You weren’t caged.”

“Yes, I was. I can not stay in one place too long. That is why I always travel around everywhere. If I stay in one place then it feels as if the walls are closing in around me and I hyperventilate.”

“You could have gotten yourself killed back there. I guess I will have to tie you down next time,” Nappa mused.

“NO! Don’t do that to me, I will go crazy if I am caged!” Raditz said panicking.

Nappa blinked at the sudden fear and panic in his mates voice, he really was scared of being locked in the room. He would just have to figure some other method of keeping him safe then.

“I know, next time you will have another Saiyan with you. I don’t care who it is as long as you do not leave their side.”

“I see, now I need a babysitter,” Raditz said bitterly.

Nappa’s tail bristled in anger as he unraveled it from his waste. He snapped his teeth trying to keep back his angry words but in the end he lost his battle and had to let it go.

“YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!!! WHEN I CAME BACK AND YOU WEREN’T IN HERE WHERE I TOLD YOU TO STAY I FREAKED OUT!! I CAN’T LOSE YOU!! SO STOP WHINNING ALREADY AND JUST DEAL WITH IT!!!!” Nappa screamed.

Raditz bit his lip and looked down at the covers and nodded, he didn’t mean to scare his mate. He supposed that he deserved being yelled at for being so foolish in the first place. Nappa sighed heavily and then wrapped his arms around his back and shoulders and drew him into a tight hug.

“Just rest now love, it’s over and you need to get some sleep.”

Raditz nodded again and closed his eyes, and before he could get out a word of apology he was asleep. Nappa set him back on the bed and covered him up, he had a little hunt to do. He was going to make those two pay for putting so much stress on his pregnant mate. If he wasn’t careful all of his stress could cause him a miscarriage or kill the baby. So he was going to teach that pink blob not to mess with what was his even if it meant killing him.

It took him no time in finding Dodoria, he walked into the training room and watched the alien train alone. He whistled to get his attention and then walked up to him. He smirked and then punched him in the face sending him a few inches back.

“You wanted to ‘play’ with my mate. Now let’s play,” Nappa growled.

“I’m gonna beat you bloody baldy!” Dodoria screamed and then launched at him.

Nappa dodged and clothes lined the fucker into the floor, he sparred no moment before he spun around and kicked him in the back and watched him fly across the room. Just before he smashed into the wall he grabbed his foot and flung him over to the other side this time letting him smash. Laughing manically he flew over to the smashed wall and was punched in the mouth with a thick fist. He felt his lip split and blood dribbled down his chin but he ignored the minor pain and fired a ki blast right into his opponent. He was rewarded with a squeal of pain and then an angry grunt as Dodoria kicked him in the chest with both feet sending him crashing into a wall instead.

“Take this you nasty monkey!” he shouted firing several ki blasts at him at once.

Nappa deflected some of them but several of them hit him dead on and caused him to grunt in pain still he didn’t back off. Pain or no this bastard was going to learn his lesson about messing with a man’s family. Growling Nappa flew at the firing alien and kneed him in the throat and then used both of his fists to slam him into the floor causing a body print in the metal.

Dodoria smiled as he peeled his bloody form out of the imprint and looked up at Nappa licking a wound on his hand. Nappa had his share of stinging scratches and burns from the ki rain that he just received. Dodoria looked over the Saiyan trying to find a spot on him that would cause him the most pain and chose the slightly deep gash in his shoulder. Rubbing his hands together he launched himself into the air and latched onto the wound and dug his fingers in to it.

Nappa yelled out in pain as the wound was deepened but his training with Kakkarot showed him how to push past physical pain. Laughing he used a much more powerful ki blast in close range right at Dodoria’s face sending the now unconscious alien to the floor with a crash. Laughing loudly he left the training room just as it was and went back to his room.

Raditz had woken up a few minuets ago and couldn’t find Nappa anywhere. He only assumed that he went out to make sure that nobody was going to bother him and his escort. He looked up from his hands when he heard the door open and then gasped in horror at the shape of his mate. He was bleeding heavily from his right shoulder, several other small wounds littered his body, bruises were coloring, and several of the burns looked rather nasty.

“What happened?!” Raditz said leaping off of the bed and running over to him.

“I taught that fucker a very valuable lesson,” Nappa replied letting his exhaustion take over and leaned on his mate for support.

“Who?”

“Dodoria. He will no longer mess with you for fear of me coming after him. That is if he survives.”

“You shouldn’t fight my battles for me. Look at you,” Raditz chided as he sat him down in a chair.

“Yeah, yeah keep talking.”

“You need to see a doctor. Come on let’s go to the healing bay.”

Nappa nodded, to tired to argue with him as he was hauled to his feet and shoved in the direction of the still open door. He allowed his mate to lean on his shoulder all the way to the medical bay. Once there the doctors loaded Nappa into the regeneration tank and told Raditz that he would be in there for a few hours to let his wounds heal all the way. He insisted that he remain but they shook their heads and told him that there was no reason for him to stay, they would contact him the moment that Nappa was out of the tank. After giving up the argument he agreed to return to his room and wait.

“Is he going to be okay?” a familiar voice asked as Raditz exited the room.

“Yeah,” Raditz said not looking up at the lizard lord.

“Dodoria has been punished sufficiently at his hands and I see no reason to put him through anything more. However, Zarbon is learning his place right now.”

Raditz looked up finally at that but then looked down at the floor again. He didn’t want his emotions splayed out on his face. To tired to really be happy about Zarbon’s punishment he turned and started to walk back to his room alone. His tail hung limply showing off his exhaustion.

“You have nothing more to worry about, I’ll personally make sure of that. I want you Saiyan’s comfortable not watching your backs every time you decide to be alone,” Frieza said watching his prize sway tiredly on his feet.

“Thank-you,” Raditz said falling forwards as sleep sucked him under with out warning.

Frieza made to catch him but Turles was there in an instant and held him up. Frieza blinked as he realized that Turles resembled Goku and Bardock a bit. Well he mostly resembled Goku but one could mistake him for Bardock.

“Who are you warrior?”

“Turles.”

“Are you kin to Bardock?”

“No.”

“How about Goku?”

“I am his mother,” Turles said with a little wave.

“You are not mated?”

“Nope, I do not need a mate. I don’t like being tied down to others. In fact I like being left alone most of the time. Bardock was just in the right place at the right time when I went into heat for the first time. Ever since then I have been able to avoid anymore trouble.”

Frieza shrugged, this was even better he found yet another breeder besides Raditz and Toma. He had a feeling that this one was going to be a bit of a problem though. He had heard the rumors that there was a small Saiyan fleet of outcasts that loved to cause trouble for everyone and everything, he just never expected to meet the leader.

Turles set Raditz into his bed and left to find something to terrorize while he was bored. However Raditz was sleeping uneasily, his dreams were littered with nightmares of Nappa dying and his faceless cub being slaughtered by Zarbon and Dodoria. He woke with a scream as Nappa was blown away by a giant blast from the pink monster. He shot straight up and into a pair of large arms and sobbed as he realized that it was Nappa.

“There, there no more crying,” he muttered patting the thick mane.

“The doctors were supposed to tell me when you got out.”

“I know but I told them not to worry about it. I wanted to check on you myself. Turles told me that you had feinted talking to Frieza. I was worried that he had done something but when he told me that you were so tried that your skin was ghostly white, I knew that you hadn’t been sleeping well.”

“It’s these nightmares I have of you and our cub dying.”

“Enough of these dreams, there is no way that I would be so easily killed. Your stress is hurting you more than our cub,” Nappa whispered rubbing out his stiff shoulders.

“I know but I can not help worrying about you all of the time.”

“Now you know how I feel when you go off by yourself.”

“Frieza told me that he personally but a stop to others bothering me when I want to be alone. In fact he told me that he wants us all comfortable and relaxed not worried about being ganged up on.”

Nappa nodded and leaned his head back against the headboard trying to fight back a yawn. Raditz laughed as he settled more comfortably and against him and closed his eyes. Though Nappa was out quickly he had a lot more trouble falling back to sleep but he eventually did.

On Coolar’s ship Vegeta was also having trouble falling asleep but his problem was the baby kicking him every few minuets. He estimated that he had been on this wretched ship for approximately three months in Earth hours. Which made him four months along and it showed. His stomach was twice the size it was when he left and his eating habits stopped in their tracks, now he was forced to eat whatever the baby wanted. Mostly raw meats and exotic alien bloods. Being a Saiyan he was used to eating things like this but being on Earth as long as he had he forgot how nice it was to eat something alive.

He absentmindedly rubbed his stomach trying to get the child with in to settle. She refused putting up a fight just like he would if he was forced to do something that he didn’t want to. After about an hour she gave up trying to get her way and settled allowing him to get the much needed rest he deserved. His mind traveled over to Kakkarot with out even thinking about it.

“Vegeta! I finally reached you after all this time.”

“Wait how are you talking to me?”

“We must be catching up to you.”

“What do you mean?”

“We are on, Frieza’s, ship. He’s taking me to be with you.”

“Are you alone?”

“No, he let me bring the rest of them but only because he knows that Raditz is pregnant.”

“R-Raditz?”

“Yeah, he and Nappa mated.”

“Why am I not surprised.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes and no, but don’t worry about me. Our baby is growing well and I can tell that she has my stubbornness and pride. She doesn’t give in easily when she wants to kick at me but I always win in the end.”

“Hold on baby I am coming.”

Raditz yawned as he woke up from a peaceful sleep, he always slept better in Nappa’s arms. Nappa was still breathing deeply which meant that he was still asleep not that it bothered him any. He was content on just lying in bed all day long but his body had it’s needs and he wiggled out of Nappa’s grasp and use the rest room. Once he was finished he looked at himself in the mirror and shrieked.

Nappa shot up in bed when he heard his mate scream. He jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom only to stop and double over in laughter. Raditz turned and glared at him, it was not funny! His hair was ruined! The nice raven color turned into a bright orange-ish color and had lost some of it’s length.

“Stop laughing at me! What the hell happened to me?!” Raditz said rubbing his now silky orange strands.

“It happened to me too,” Toma said leaning around Nappa took look at him.

“Where did you come from?” Nappa asked jumping.

“I knocked but all I heard was laughter and screaming so I let myself in.”

“Never mind that! You said this happened to you too?”

“Yes, only my hair turned blue. It’s normal for some males who get pregnant to take on a different hair color,” Toma said shrugging.

“This is not normal!” Raditz shrieked again.

“You think your orange color is bad? No, Turles’ was bad. His hair turned a bright purple color. It was funny and in the right light it looked almost pink.”

“Are you picking on my hair again?” Turles asked walking in to the room.

“Yup,” Toma said.

“You I felt but why can’t I feel you?” Nappa asked pointing at Toma.

“Because I have an inner defense that wont allow me to be detected unless I so wish to be.”

“Aren’t you the lucky Saiyan,” Turles said pouting.

“Raditz has it too but he just needs to learn how to use it.”

“My hair,” Raditz sobbed rubbing it.

“Later, I have another set of guards to terrorize,” Turles said waving as he left the room his dark tail waving back and forth seductively.

“I am going with him to watch,” Toma said walking out with him.

“I think it’s sexy,” Nappa said touching the strands.

“A-are you sure?” Raditz said looking up at him.

“Yes, and if you stand in the light the right way it turns red,” Nappa said.

Raditz nodded and walked out of the bathroom and sat down in the chair that he had placed a wounded Nappa. He hoped that his hair would grow back out to the proper length and turn back to it’s raven color. He heard a giggle and glared at his hands, this was not funny.

“Stop laughing already! This is not funny!” Raditz snapped.

“Relax already baby. You are beautiful with orange hair or black hair it really doesn’t matter.”

Raditz rolled his eyes but he would have to except his hair the way it was for right now. He was sure that once he gave birth it would turn back to it normal color and then no one would laugh at him anymore. Though his mother wasn’t really laughing at him, he was just stating a fact. These next eight months were going to be a pain in the ass he just knew it.


(okay it’s finally done. I usually give a preview of the next chapter but I am not going to do it this time. Nope! It’s going to be a surprise. First of all let me clear a few things up, everyone knows(or should know) that space and time flow differently from each other. Space is endless and thus has no sun nor moon to tell it’s time unlike being on a Planet. Earth’s time depends on the “rising” and “falling” of the sun and moon. So in the case of Vegeta’s guessing he is quite accurate in thinking that he had been in space for four months. Second on to the hair thing- Vegeta’s hair has remained the same while Raditz’ has not. Here’s the deal, Raditz is pregnant with a male child, due to the extra hormones it takes to carry a strong male it makes the pregnant Saiyan’s body react in a funny way thus changing the color of his/her hair. Females on the other hand a very rare and do not carry the extra hormones and the pregnant Saiyan’s do not suffer hair color change, however they do suffer from lack of sleep and energy. Third and final- Saiyan females are not hard to conceive they are however most likely born stillborn or die in the womb. They require a special hormone that very few carry inside of them. Vegeta carries it thus the reason he was able to give Bulma a daughter. Goku does not carry it and thus all of his children are boys. Both Nappa and Raditz come from a mostly male dominate gene pool however Raditz does carry that ability. Still the male gene is more dominate and thus making it less of a chance for him to conceive a daughter successfully. Oh, one more thing Toma has a gene in him that enables him to hide not only his power level but his entire life force from someone who might be trying to look for him. Raditz also has the gene but it’s not dominate enough for him to do it. Hope that I covered everything that might make you-the readers-confused or wondering about. Til the next chapter- Peace)
