A/N: This is a little treat for fans of Bardock's Story. Just a sweet little one shot set no long after Bardock was born.
Baby Boy
Matrika was dozing while the house was quiet one day. Since that magical day that changed her life, she had hardly slept. That day was the day she finally became the mother to her beautiful baby boy. The excitement of having him in her life over shadowed the tiredness she felt a few days after birth. He woke every two hours or so to be fed or cleaned but Matrika enjoyed any time she spent with him.
But there was already a dark cloud hanging over Matrika and her tiny son. Bozek, her mate and father of her son, was already hostile towards his son, thanks to the news that the baby's power level was read as seven. Bozek had dreams of a child in the hundreds and had thought up a training regime to guarantee his son became the strongest warrior of Planet Vegeta. But now, he was more interested in drowning the baby. But there was no way Matrika was going to let him do it. She told him that he couldn't have her without the baby. This notion kept Bozek quiet but Matrika could only relax when he was away, as he was right now.
Soon, Matrika's dozing was interrupted by the inevitable sound of her son crying. She yawned and steadily got up then headed to her room where his crib was. When she got there, he was laid on his back, crying with his hands clenched in little fists, his tail thrashing.
"Hey, little man!" She cooed, "It's ok, I hear you."
On hearing his mother's voice, the boy stopped crying and thrashing to look up in to her eyes. When he registered that he was looking at his mother, he held his hands out to her and giggled. With a gentle smile, she scooped up her son and held him close to her. Feeling secure, he wrapped his tails around her arm and used his tiny hands to grip her shirt.
"Are you hungry, Buddy?" She asked
Straight away, he gurgled in response. Matrika interrupted it as yes. As she carried him to her bed, she ran a hand through his spiky black hair. Once at the bed, she lifted her shirt then guided her baby's head to her breast. Once he was in position, he latched on and started suckling hungrily. As he fed, Matrika gazed in to his face, admiring his features. His eyes were like shiny black onyx. His silky black hair spiked off in all directions with a few bangs that fell on to his forehead. He was feisty and bright. He was just so beautiful. She could see him becoming incredible.
After satisfying his saiyan appetite, he snuggled in to his mother's arms and fell asleep. As he did, Matrika pulled down her shirt. She then started stroking her son's face with the back of her hand.
"I love you, my beautiful baby, Bardock."
The End
