VEGA'S STORY
CHAPTER ONE
It was a bright sunny day as Vegeta and Trunks paced outside the closed hospital door.
"This is the best hospital in the city", Goku said as he placed a comforting hand on Vegeta's shoulder, "She'll be fine."
Vegeta looked nervously around him at Videl and Chi-Chi, who were taking care of Pan and Bra, and then back at his friend's reassuring face. He gave a nervous, half-hearted smile then continued his pacing.
Goten walked up to Trunks and whispered something. Trunks began to giggle ever so slightly, but was instantly silenced by his father's glare.
Just then Bra began to cry . . . Pan not wanting to be left out also let out a sob. Gohan ran and comforted his daughter and Bra, murmuring softly.
Videl looked up at him, "I could have done that you know, You don't have to do everything for me"
Goku glanced at his surroundings. Despite his words of comfort he was nervous. 'This shouldn't be taking this long' he thought
The tension in the air was stretched tight as Videl glared at Gohan who just meekly smiled. "I don't have to but I want to", he replied sheepishly.
Finally the painfully white door opened and a nurse walked out. Vegeta, who was at the end of the hall, seemingly disappeared and reappeared next to the nurse. The nurse looked at him in surprise and shuffled her papers.
"Well!" Vegeta said in a barely controlled voice.
The nurse just continued shuffling her papers. Goku was ready to jump up and restrain Vegeta, who was obviously ready to punch her and that would most definitely kill her then they might never get the news.
"Ahem" the nurse cleared her throat. "Is this the family/ friends of Bulma?
"Yes!" everyone responded at the same time.
Vegeta and Trunks, who was standing in front of the nurse and next to his father by now, responded in near screams. Vegeta's hair began to flash a little gold and Trunks nudged him with his elbow.
"Sh-sh-she Is pe-per-perfectaly f-f-fine" the flustered nurse stuttered. "And y-you a-are n-now th-the p-p-p-proud f-f-family of a be-be-beautiful b- b-baby g-g-girl"
A collective sigh went up from the group. Vegeta stopped glaring at the nurse, and asked, "When will we be able to see her?"
"Right now" said the nurse, who had regained her color, "Follow me please"
Chi-Chi, Videl, Gohan, Pan and Bra stayed behind as the rest marched down the shiny, white hallway. As they walked Vegeta asked, "Why did the birth take so much longer then Bra's and Trunk's?"
The nurse responded with a shrug, "It was a early birth, that might have been it, but we have no way of knowing for sure"
To this he responded with a grunt and then fell into silence pondering what to name his new daughter. I think we should wait until after we see her to name her he thought to himself.
"She looks a great deal like you sir," the nurse said to Vegeta. The voice shook him out of his thoughts just as they came to Bulma's door. "Here we are" said the nurse as everyone pushed past her.
The group halted outside of the plastic curtain that hid Bulma and the newest member of her family. They moved aside so Trunks could enter at the same time as his father. There was no hesitation as Vegeta pushed past the nurse to see his wife. Relief spread across his face when he could see with his own eyes that she was fine. Then he noticed the small bundle in her arms.
"Would u like to hold your daughter?" Bulma asked in a soft voice as she handed the wriggling blanket to Vegeta.
As Trunks and Bulma talked, Vegeta stared affectionately at the tiny face that resembled his own. The little black eyes opened and she cooed. He put his face closer to hers and brushed his lips against her forehead.
"Another little princess" he whispered.
He stroked her face with one finger; silently remarking at the resemblance yet she still looked very girlish and beautiful. A tiny hand reached up at him and he held his finger out. She grasped it and squeezed, Vegeta's eyes widened in shock.
"My goodness" he muttered, "You certainly inherited my strength as well."
"Come on dad I want to see my new sister too" Trunks remarked in a playful voice.
Vegeta handed her over and went to Bulma.
"What should we name her?" He asked Bulma.
"I thought of one name that would suit her," she said.
"And it was?"
"Vega"
"Vega" he whispered to himself.
"Yes" Vegeta, said, "Vega would be a name worthy of our daughter."
"Where is everyone?" Asked Bulma.
"They still are outside the curtain" replied Trunks, "Do u want me to get them?"
"Yes please" she said.
Trunks handed Vega back to Bulma and left to get the others. Vegeta couldn't help smiling as a tiny tail poked through the folds of cloth. He turned to be faced by Goku, who grinned broadly.
"Congratulations" Goku said as his grin got bigger, "She seems like a natural fighter"
Vegeta gave a small smile at this remark, whereas Bulma frowned and remarked "I don't think so, fighting is dangerous and no daughter of mine will do something that risky'
Goku smiled even broader, "Come on, Vegeta and I are fighters and we are both alive and well"
"Oh yeah, well you must have forgotten the multiple times you both died and the trips to the hospital!" she snapped.
"Well, when she dies we will bring her back with the DragonBalls," said Goku.
Bulma's eyes seemed to glow red as she screamed, "No daughter of mine is going to be killed!"
"Kakorot" muttered Vegeta; "You are not helping!"
