It was four years they'd been mated always within the throne room stood Kakarot next to the throne. Close to his mate a protective force of nature. Always within the level four form proud tall and wild looking. Vegeta enjoyed his mate's presence always close by always within sight. Then their first cub came and Kakarot was even closer watchful calm keeping the cub entertained. When their cub was of the walking age Kakarot was a silent shadow behind the toddling cub. With Vegeta's hair but Kakarot's face he was an adorable little thing. The pride of the royals and the third class family. The cub knew both sides of his family. Bardock and Toma where happy to have a grand cub they could see from Kakarot. Unlike Vegeta though this cub was proud but humble happy to help his people.
The people loved the newest prince with his up swept hair like a flame and the bright eyes that looked with wonder at the world.
"Daddy look, look here! " A shining rock held out in small hands prompted Kakarot to smile softly sitting his tail curled around his cub."Shhh Korin Mama is busy...What is it you've found?"
The small hands hold out the stone once more before Kakarot took it looking it over"...This takes me back..To before I met your Mama.."
Korin's eyes widened before he sat in his father's lap snuggling into the Gi top his father wore. Kakarot's arms sliding around his cub as he spoke."Long ago on a planet not unlike this one I grew up.. This planet was small and out of the way..The name of it was Earth."
Korin blinked before sighing softly nuzzling into his father listening he loved to hear of his father's adventures. Always about a planet called Earth always about Dragon balls.
"Daddy tell me about my half brother next?" Korin looked up with those big eyes as Kakarot smiled leaning back.
"I don't know it's almost lunch you know your Mama wants us to be on time.." Kakarot's smile never faded through when his cub pouted looking with those pleading eyes.
A small sigh coming before Korin's lower lip trembled as he whispered"Please Daddy?"
Kakarot could not help it he melted under that look he always did and both father and son knew it.
Vegeta could not help but be slightly annoyed waiting for his father in law and his half brother. They were holding up lunch again. More then likely telling stories again. A small huff coming as he let his tail snap side to side speaking"Do you want me to go find them father?"
King Vegeta chuckled before nodding"Go on Vegeta.."
They both knew despite the annoyed look that Vegeta adored his little brother just as much as Tarble did. Tarble was no longer the baby of the two brothers so he was happy.
It was only a matter of time though before their happy time was shattered in the form of a legendary rampaging. Broly the son of Paragus was rampaging on the planet. Many saiyans were in terror of the behemoth Saiyan.
However Korin was not when Broly picked him up the youngest prince blinked curiously at the elder saiyan eyes wide before putting his palms on Broly's shoulders looking the Legendary in the eyes."...Why are you so grumpy? Did you miss your nap?"
The words spoken with such childish innocence halted Broly's rampage Ki ball inches from the young prince's head his hair fluttering with the energy's power. Broly eyed this cub speaking"Why aren't you crying?"
Korin blinked looking at him speaking"Should I be? Aren't you my new daddy?" Broly stared in awe at this strange child before the small hands patted his face as he spoke"Their waiting for you, you shouldn't keep them waiting.." Broly stared before setting the youngest member of the royal family down.
"You are...An odd child..."
"I am not! I'm Korin son of King Vegeta and Kakarot.."
The mere mention of that name was enough to make Broly move. Picking up the youngest member of the royal family he'd put the child on his shoulder before silently walking forwards. Korin tipped his head speaking"Where we going?"
Broly snorted softly his tail flicking under the child's chin in a soothing manner"Hush Korin...I'm taking you to your Mama..."
Korin nodded putting his chin on Broly's head speaking."Mama is gonna be mad so is Daddy.." Broly chuckled speaking softly"Your mama and father will be fine..I'll tell them it wasn't your fault.."
Korin nodded slowly quieting till they got to the palace Broly brushed past the guards pale faced watching the temperamental Legendary with the child on his shoulders. Korin taking note of this spoke softly"Are they cross with you?"
Broly smirked before speaking"Very cross little one now go on.." Putting the child down Korin ran to King Vegeta who was staring at Broly Kakarot in front of his mate and cub growling puffed up tail snapping side to side.
It was short a conversation before Broly slowly backed down sitting in one of the chairs watching the two mates speaking between the two of them. Neither were sure what to make of this. Why on earth would Broly be there? Why would be bring Korin back safely?
Kakarot mused on it before speaking softly"Because he surprised him..Broly isn't a monster he just has Anger problems...He has no grounding no one to tell him what he's doing is wrong.."
"...That is the oddest thing I have ever heard come from your mouth Kaka.." The amused royal sighed before speaking softly" I exiled him long ago though.. To suddenly let him come back..The people might not be too happy about that.."
A small frown coming before Kakarot spoke"Mm..But shouldn't he be given the choice he wasn't allowed when he was a cub?"
Vegeta stiffened looking to his mate speaking quietly"Only if someone vouches for him.."
Korin spoke up from his mama's lap speaking"I will..He's just mad cause he's alone..If he's not alone he won't be mad.."
Vegeta sighed speaking" Baby your too small.."
Kakarot closed his eyes standing up speaking quietly in a calm voice"..I'll vouch for him.."
Broly stared confused he'd attacked this Saiyan and his earth friends and family. On this planet this Saiyan male was willing to give him the chance to do it again. Before he could stop himself came the question he wanted to always ask."...Why?"
Kakarot's eyes looked to Broly before he spoke"..Because it's not your fault..."
Broly narrowed his eyes speaking softly"Aren't you afraid?"
Kakarot spoke just as quietly"Should I be?"
Broly was stunned into silence staring at first father then son before looking to Vegeta "How do you put up with them?"
Vegeta chuckled softly speaking"Patience and a lot of soldiers to keep an eye on one of them.. "
Broly stared from father to son once more unsure of which was more the handful before shaking his head slightly." Their both a handful each.."
Vegeta chuckled softly before speaking"Yes but their mine and I wouldn't trade either for all the stars in heaven.."
