1 Trials and Tribulations

By: Salsa Kitty

Prologue



Velveeta, the Queen of Saiyans, waited patiently for her mate in the palace's Royal Quarters. Her delicate hands caressed the swollen flesh of her belly. She smiled when she felt her child move within her. She was pregnant with the King of Vijiitasei's heir, the Vegeta no Ouji. The babe moved inside of her, and she smiled.

She was expecting any day now, and her body trembled in excitement. When she became the no Ou's mate, she had so desperately wanted to give him an heir. But she was unable to conceive a child. They had tried for years, but there was no baby, no heir, to please their Kingdom. She felt that she was a burden to her mate, for she could not produce an heir. And the King was in his full rights to take another mate, one that could produce an heir, and take away her right as Queen, but he never did. The King loved his mate, although he would never admit to it, and they were also bound together through their bond.

The bond was the linking of two minds, two souls. If you were bonded, then your memories would become their memories, and visa versa. The Bond was unbreakable. Less then half survive the death of their Mates, and because of that, it was believed that the Bond was a weakness that a Saiyan could not afford to have, especially royalty. So it was believed that the Bonding gene had been completely bred out of the Royal House of Vegeta, seeing that Vejiitasei could not have their strongest family have a weakness as of that sort. But little did the people know that it was incredibly difficult to get rid of the gene, and so the gene was still rather dominant in the royal bloodline.

The Queen briefly wondered where the King was. He had set up a mental block, so she couldn't know what was going on. So all she knew was that he was in a military meeting with the tyrant Frieza, and some other people that she did not know. She always shuttered at the mention of Frieza's name. She hated him. He was a cold, evil, murderer, who purged planets of its' inhabitants, then would sell it off to the highest bidder. It was disgusting, watching species die because they could not protect themselves from someone as strong as him. Frieza was so strong, that not even the mighty Saiyans could hurt him. So, when it came time for Frieza to come to their planet, they could do nothing but accept a treaty with him, if they had not, then he would have destroyed them. Frieza was just too powerful to fight, but the King had thought that the Legendary would be the answers to all of Vejiitasei's prayers, the Legendary Super Saiyan. Such a Saiyan that would have the power of a thousand Elite Saiyans, and that kind of power had not been reached in over a thousand years. The King had secretly hoped that their son would be just the one to reach it.

Velveeta knew it was getting late, and fatigue had started to rear its ugly head. She yawned and decided that she would go to bed. She had originally planned on staying up and waiting for her Mate, but now she decided that she had waited long enough. She padded her way over to the bed, which was to large for her, removed her elegant robe, and forced herself into the covers, waiting for sleep to come.

As Velveeta lay there, in the bed, she stared to feel a little pain, but had dismissed it. But a little while later, the pain came back, much stronger then before. So she got up out of bed, and went to put back on her robe. She had been in bed for almost an hour, and the King had not come back yet. She thought for a moment that she might be going into labor. But before she could even process the thought, the pain came. Stronger then the pain she felt before, struck her off guard and she fell to the floor. She curled into a little ball, with her hand wrapped around her belly securely. She had never felt pain like this before, pain that felt like it would tear her apart from the inside out. She knew that she was going into labor, but couldn't move. The pain had immobilized her. All she could do was wait for the pain to go away before she could get help.

And when the pain finally did ebb, she quickly got up and made her way towards the royal chambers doors. She opened them and quickly made her way outside into the royal hall. Then the pain came again; she fell onto the floor, crying out in her pain. One of the Royal Soldiers saw his queen in her distress, and ran over to her.

"Your Highness! What is the matter?" The soldier asked.

"I… I'm … I'm going into labor! Fetch the Midwife." She told him through grasps.

~*~*~*~*~

"… And that adjourns our meeting for today." Frieza said through his slimy purple lips, his feminine voice ringing through everyone's ears. King Vegeta hated these "military meetings." They were nothing more then threats that Frieza made when things didn't go his way. The Saiyans weren't meeting their planet-purging quota, or something equally as mundane. He was also pissed that he was late getting to his mate. Velveeta was having a difficult pregnancy, and was expected to go into labor any time now.

King Vegeta walked out of the meeting room, and headed down to west wing of the palace, that was where the Royal Chambers were, only to be stopped by a lowly baka of a soldier.

"My Lord, sir!" the soldier said as he stood at attention.

"What is it…?" the King asked rubbing his temples in exhaustion.

"The Queen, sir, my lady has gone into labor, sir!" The soldier replied, "She is at the medical wing of the palace, sir!"

"Oh, fuck…" Everything wasn't going well this evening for the king.

~*~*~*~*~

The Queen's screams could be heard all through out the infirmary. She was having a difficult labor, and was in great pain. She had gone into labor so quick that they couldn't give her anything for the pain. When the King had finally got there, the nurses held him back explaining that he would only get in the way. So he was forced to stay outside in the waiting area, listening to his mates labored breaths and screams. He also knew that being away from his mate was a good idea, seeing that she probably throw several Ki blasts directed at him out of rage for getting there so late.

The King could see through a window into the labor room. He saw his Mate, and many Midwives and nurses helping her give birth to their son. Velveeta's legs were up in the stirrups, and sweat glistened on her face and body. Her hair was a mess, and her face was contorted when she pushed. The head Midwife was between her legs, coaching her during the difficult birth, as the other nurses and Midwives were helping swipe the sweat away and, holding her hands, and trying to calm her.

She screamed again, and the head Midwife told her to keep pushing, that she was almost there. She pushed, and everyone cheered as the head was freed from its womb. She continued through her exhaustion, and pushed the young prince free…

Everyone cheered. The babe was taken and cleaned. The nurses and other doctors took care of the mother, making sure that she was okay. Then one of the nurses came and opened the door for the King…

"My Lord, you can see your son now." Was all she said.

The King walked to his Mate as she lied in bed, holding their newborn son in her arms. Her hair was soaked in sweat, and her body glistened in it. Her breathing was coming back to normal, and she exhaustedly looked down at her child. He rustled in the little blanket that had the Royal Crest of the House of Vegeta woven on it.

"He looks like you…" she smiled at her Mate. "Would you like to hold him?"

The King took the Babe from her arms into his. "He's strong," He said proudly, "He will surpass even me in strength one day."

"… Yes… I'm sure he will…" She said looking dazed.

"Are you all right?" He said to her. He then looked down, and saw that her breath was become ragged again.

"I'm fine…" Her glossy eyes looked at him, her face was deathly pale. Then it happened. The King heard the monitors that displayed her vitals go dead. He looked at her, and she wasn't breathing.

The nurses and doctors came in a rushed the King out. He watched as they tried to bring the life back into her body. A doctor climbed on top of her and pumped chest, trying to get her heart to start beating again…

1.1 It wasn't working…

They ripped her hospital gown open, and shocked her body.

… It wasn't working…

The King watched outside as they opened her chest, and massaged her heart directly. They did that for several minutes, and then they used the shock on her heart.

1.2 Nothing worked!

Their baby stirred and cried out as if he knew his mother was dying. The King just watch on in horror as his Mate was dying. He felt his soul begin to rip in half…

1.3 Nothing was working…

They tried and tried to bring her life back.

1.4 But nothing work!

The King felt her mind slip away from his… The other half of his soul, his being, slipping away into nothing…

…Nothing was working…

She was dying…

1.5 She can't die…

They stopped…

… Why are they stopping…?

The doctor called her time of death…

…She can't be dead…

She can't!

1.6 I need her…

The little prince cried out, calling for his mother.

The king did not hear him. He stared out into space, trying to find her some where in his mind. She wasn't there…

1.7 Velveeta!!!

She was gone…

1.8 You can't be gone, I need you!!!

But she was gone…

"Your Highness…" Someone called to him, but he didn't hear them… Velveeta was gone.

1.9 Velveeta…

The King looked down at his son.

1.10 Price Vegeta…
