A/N: Here is chapter 2. Thanks to Wildgirl6 and Jewlbunny for the reviews on chapter 1. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: Again, Akira Toriyama is the mastermind behind the incredible manga, the awesome anime, and every other bit of franchise of DBZ. Not me, I only own Lilikoi and a few other OCs in this story.

"Your Majesty, Lord Frieza has arrived to hear about the progress on Planet Kerasu," Zorn reported.

"Where are my children?" King Vegeta demanded.

"The prince and the princess are both in their rooms, fast asleep," Zorn answered.

"Good," King Vegeta nodded. "The last thing we need is for Frieza to find either of them."

"Yes, Sire," Zorn nodded in agreement. He knew Frieza did not know any of the children even existed, and Zorn intended to help keep it that way. In addition to being King Vegeta's advisor, the long-haired Saiyan was also in charge of looking after the prince and now the princess.

King Vegeta sighed and shook his head. The last time Frieza had visited Vegeta-Sei was six years ago, before Rosicheena became pregnant for the first time. But now, he couldn't have picked a worse time to visit the Saiyan planet. King Vegeta was now a father to a handsome little prince who looked almost identical to him and a beautiful little princess who looked like her mother, but with the sharper features of her father.

"How long until he's here?" the Saiyan monarch asked his adviser.

"If I had to estimate, I would say about ten minutes," Zorn answered. "Maybe fifteen."

King Vegeta stood up from his throne and walked out of the room.

As the moments ticked away, the Saiyan king made his way to his eldest son's room. Three-year-old Vegeta lay in his bed, snoozing peacefully.

King Vegeta walked over and sat at the foot of the bed, his eyes never leaving his son's small, sleeping form. The boy stirred but didn't wake.

Suddenly, a smirk crossed the prince's face. No doubt he was dreaming about his first mission. Just days before, he had gone on a mission to Planet Yarantra. The mission should have taken three days but the boy only took one. He claimed the mission was fun, but a little dull.

King Vegeta smiled slightly, placed a hand on his boy's head before standing up and making his way to his baby daughter's room.

Little Lilikoi lay in her cradle, wrapped in a small, royal blue blanket. At that moment, the newborn yawned softly before turning and opening her eyes.

King Vegeta couldn't explain it, but something made him walk over to the cradle, lift the Saiyan infant out of it, and hold her close to his chest.

Lilikoi blinked and stared up at her father before cooing softly and holding out her tiny hands. King Vegeta ran a hand through her already long, thick, spiky black hair. The baby girl reached up and closed her hand around one of his fingers. As she had with Vegeta's before, Lilikoi placed the finger in her mouth and proceeded to suck on it, grimacing at the material of the gloves that the Saiyan king wore. Her fluffy, brown tail flicked its way out of her blankets and wrapped itself around King Vegeta's other arm.

King Vegeta couldn't help but smile at his daughter. Yes, he shared a strong bond with his oldest son, but now…he felt something different for the gurgling baby girl in his arms…Maybe he would share a strong bond with his little girl like he had with his eldest son. Maybe...

That's when he remembered that he needed to attend the meeting with Frieza. Both of his small children were fast asleep and he was going to have guards nearby so all they would be safe just in case any of Frieza's soldiers or Frieza himself decided to wander the corridors.

Smiling slightly as he glanced back to the corridor where the children's rooms were, King Vegeta turned and headed to the throne room to begin the meeting.

"So, I trust the Planet Kerasu is now under my control?" Frieza asked, lounging on the Saiyan throne.

"Yes, Lord Frieza," King Vegeta nodded. "The planet was occupied successfully in no time at all."

"Well, I must say it's rather nice to see your band of monkeys managed to follow my orders," Frieza mocked. "For once."

King Vegeta knew Frieza was baiting him and he would not give the icy tyrant the satisfaction.

Yes, Lord Frieza," he answered cordially.

"And where is your pretty little wife tonight, Vegeta?" the Ice-Jin asked, an expression that was clearly meant to feign sympathy on his face. "I heard that she will not be attending our meeting tonight."

"The queen is not feeling well this evening," King Vegeta stated coolly.

This was actually true; Queen Rosicheena had been greatly weakened by the strain of giving birth to Princess Lilikoi. After this pregnancy, the doctors had warned the Saiyan queen not to bear any more children. But at least before being told this, King Vegeta knew his wife had gotten the daughter that she had so desperately wished for. And truthfully, it cost the Saiyan king nothing to admit that he didn't exactly mind having a daughter either, especially one as strong and beautiful as Lilikoi, and she was only a newborn.

"What a pity," Frieza crooned, pulling the Saiyan king back to the present. "Well, I suppose it is true then, what they're saying on my ship."

"What do you mean, Lord Frieza?" King Vegeta asked, making no attempt to hide his confusion.

"Many of my soldiers believe," Frieza smirked and took a sip of wine, taking his time doing so and enjoying the suspense such an action was building. "That your wife, the queen, is incapable of bearing children."

King Vegeta said nothing.

"Such a pity," Frieza continued, a smirk climbing his lips. "After all, if she is unable to produce an heir, what good is she?"

A few quiet gasps were heard here and there throughout the throne room, but that was it.

"Perhaps you could take another wife," Frieza was enjoying this. "One that could actually fulfill her purpose. For in fact, that's all women really are, tools for producing children. One wife is as good or bad as the next as my father always says."

"Remember, Lord Frieza, these monkeys only mate once in their lifetime," Zarbon sneered.

"Oh, that's right," Frieza sighed dramatically. "So you're stuck with the worthless little snip until she finally goes off and gets herself killed."

"Lord Frieza, there is the matter of even after a Saiyan's mate dies, they merely subject themselves to a life spent alone," Zarbon reminded the lizard-like being. "Quite primitive, wouldn't you agree, Sir?"

"Indeed," Frieza sniffed. "But then, these are Saiyans we're talking about."

King Vegeta tried his hardest to hide his rage. How dare Frieza and his men disrespect his wife in such a manner! But he couldn't help but feel like it had been Frieza who had spread these rumors in order to dig at him. Anyone with even half of a brain in their head could see that the Saiyan king was pretty much wrapped around his wife's petite little finger. And now, Frieza was trying to get to him by slandering her. That monster knew one way to King Vegeta's pride was through his beloved wife.

'Thank Kami this kisama doesn't know about the prince and the princess,' Zorn growled in his mind. He knew that King Vegeta was thinking the same thing. There was no doubt in Zorn's mind that it would be disastrous if the Ice-Jin was ever to know about Prince Vegeta and Princess Lilikoi.

...

Queen Rosicheena smiled as she watched her dear little Vegeta sleep. Though King Vegeta was obviously fond of their firstborn, it had been Rosicheena who had named the prince after his father. But it actually was appropriate; the boy looked and sometimes even acted just like a miniature version of his father.

"Sweet dreams, my little prince," she whispered, brushing his spiky, black bangs aside and planting a kiss on his forehead.

Vegeta stirred slightly and sighed in his sleep.

Rosicheena smiled before leaving the young prince's room and made her way to the bedroom of her daughter.

The Saiyan queen smiled down at her baby daughter as she lifted the small body out of the cradle. She still couldn't get over the fact that she finally had the daughter she had desired for so long. Yes, she did love her son and she wouldn't trade him for anything, but she had always wanted a daughter, even when she was a little girl herself. And now, she finally had her.

Little Lilikoi purred softly in her sleep as she snuggled against her mother.

Rosicheena's smile widened as she kissed her baby daughter's cheek, careful not to disturb her sleep before gently setting her back in the cradle.

"Sleep well, my own little sweetheart," she whispered.

After glancing one last time at the sleeping baby girl, her mother turned and walked out of the room.

King Vegeta fought to keep from telling Frieza off as the Ice-Jin kept prattling on and on about other races that were now working for him and how he expected so much more from the Saiyans and a number of other things that the Saiyan king couldn't care less about.

"Do you have your eye on any other planets at this particular time, Lord Frieza?" King Vegeta asked. He knew the lizard warlord would continue to boast about his 'Many accomplishments achieved throughout his lifetime' but by asking this, the Saiyans would receive at least a moment's reprieve.

"Hmm…well let's see…" Frieza thought for a moment or two. "Oh, I know! I want Planet Jugaien, Planet Zarenchei, and Planet Parikata all occupied by the end of the week."

King Vegeta said nothing. None of the Saiyans did.

"That's not going to be a problem, is it?" Frieza smirked.

"No, of course not," King Vegeta answered finally. "Lord Frieza."

"Good," Frieza's eyes narrowed to slits as his smirk grew broader. "I believe we're finished here. I'll return at the end of this week and I expect good news on those planets."

King Vegeta remained silent. He was afraid that if he spoke, he would slip and express his immense hatred of Frieza and that would have been the same as wishing for his own death because that's exactly what he would get.

Zorn sighed. He hated Frieza nearly as much as his king did, but he was also smart enough to know that if he said a word on the matter, he would die.

Luckily, they wouldn't have to deal with the lizard tyrant for a week. Not long enough, but almost.

So, how was it? Let me know.

And the next chapter will be out on Tuesday, September 15th.
