Okay If you have made it this far, thanks! Please review and let me knOW if you would like something else happen. Just as a heads up, this is a really mushy chapter, not that much action. It has some funny parts but came out kind of like a plot filler from the show. Recap at end of chapter, to skip fluffy.
As always I don't own DBZ or DBZ characters, I do own my OC.
Chapter 4: Birth of a Prince
Last time on Dragon Ball Z, Supreme Kai and Eclipse found out they were about to embark on the most terrifying adventure yet… raising a child. At the suggestion of Kibito, the three find themselves looking for Vegeta and Bulma to guide them through childbirth. The threat of King Kackerrot still looms on the horizon. Will our heroes find a way to navigate through this uncertain time in their lives?
"Shin how much longer till we get to earth?" Eclipse says crossly. Due to her condition, Supreme Kai had refused to let his wife instant transmit to Earth. With each passing day, her tummy kept growing as well as her irritability. "THIS IS TAKING TO LONG!"
"Eclipse, just relax. Please!" Shin snipped, the concern now turning to irritability. Shin's usually calm and peaceful demeanor has obviously worn thin from a week in a space ship. "We are almost to Earth, please alert Kibito."
"KIBITO GET UP!" Eclipse roars down the hall of the ship. At the sound of her voice, Shin shot her an ugly glare. "My back hurts, my feet kill, and my stomach feels like it is fighting its way out! I am not moving from this spot until we land!" Eclipse complains to her husband.
"Thank the heavens we are landing," reflected an incredibly miserable Kai. It was not as if he did not empathize with his wife, he knew she was uncomfortable, they had Bonded, therefore he could also experience everything she was facing. "How easily she has forgotten I am experience this too," he thought to himself.
A warm welcome waited by none other than Bulma and Chi Chi, as they landed in front of capsule corpse. Kibito had alerted the women of their journey a few days earlier, hence their excited welcome. Not accompanied by their husbands, Shin and Eclipse had forgotten that the Z warriors were in some undisclosed area in space training with the Elder Kai. With completely empty nests, the two women welcomed having guests over.
The doors opened slowly and released steam as the gate lowered to where the two women were now standing. Kibito walked down the ramp first and happily greeted Bulma, his body hiding Shin and Eclipse.
"Hey ya, Kibito, how are you doing?" squeaked a happy Bulma, she grinned and said, "Staying out of trouble I hope?"
"Of course," he replied. He stepped aside to reveal a very pregnant Eclipse guided by none other than the Supreme Kai, who was escorting her safely down the ramp. Eclipse responded to her husband's over protective behavior by ripping her arm away from his hands. Shin shot her an repulsive glance as she did this. Both women gasped together, they did not receive a warning about this!
"OH MY GOSH, YOUR HAVING A BABY!" Both women squealed in unison. Rushing over to Eclipse they knocked Kibito over, he landed on his butt in astonishment. They quickly dragged Eclipse into the house and sat her down on the couch, leaving both men completely ignored by the ship. They were excited to add another mother to their group, hence their rushed reaction.
Still standing by the ship with a giant sweat mark on his forehead, Supreme Kai squeaked out, "My…they really like babies…" his mouth was still gaping open. Kibito could only nod in agreement still sitting on his butt. As they stood there, a blond woman walked to the door and waved them inside the house.
"Hi guys, I am Bulma's mom. Please come inside I am making tea and cookies. You will find your lovely wife sitting in the living room with the girls," she said in a high-pitched voice. "How exciting another baby," her voice fainted as she walked toward the kitchen.
Shin and Kibito walked into the living room where all three women were happily chatting. "You haven't had your baby shower yet? Oh, I just love baby showers! Bulma why don't you get Master Roshi, Oolang and Yamcha on the line. Since she only has five more days of being pregnant we should throw her party today!" a happy Chi Chi chirps.
"Oh yeah that is a great idea Chi Chi," Bulma pulls out her cell phone and walks out of the room to make her phone calls.
"Excuse me, Chi Chi, where have Goku, Vegeta and the others went?" a quiet Supreme Kai says, finally speaking after watching this unusual event unfolding. He had noticed earlier that their power levels were not on Earth.
She looked very irritated with her temple throbbing, Chi Chi crosses her arms and snorted. "They went off to train, probably in some far off galaxy getting ready for some great evil being about to wipe out the universe!" Her voice showed a little hint of sarcasm as she said this.
"WHAT BUT THE SUPREME KAI AND ECLIPSE SEEK THE ADVICE OF VEGETA, THE BIRTH RITUAL OF A SAIYAN IS UNKNOWN TO THEM! HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BABY WITHOUT HIS GUIDENCE?" Kibito exclaimed, sweat was now drenching his face. Bulma and her mother had walked into the room as he said this. All three women's faces turned purple and fell over.
When they had composed themselves, Bulma's mother began to speak, "Well it is perfectly natural for you two not to know how to have a baby. However, nature usually takes its course. I remember having my little Bulma here, she was so cute…" she then trailed off.
"Mom, I am sure because Eclipse is a Saiyan that maybe giving birth may be different. I mean it only took her two months to get that big!" Not hiding her smugness or intelligence, she had developed a plan already. "I have an idea," she pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number, "Yeah…there is a baby shower at my house…You already knew…oh yeah…okay see you soon!"
"Who was that?" Chi Chi asked as soon as Bulma had closed her phone with a click.
"Fortune Teller Baba of course! She has a direct line to other world so she could get in touch with a Saiyan woman!"
"That was a novel idea," Eclipse interjects as she folds her arms over her baby bump.
"Vegeta wouldn't have been any help anyways, he fainted when Trunks was born and refused to look anywhere but my face when Bra was born. Men are not very useful when it comes to child bearing," a cheerful Bulma replies.
"That is true, Bulma, Goku actually thought the doctor was causing me pain, not Gohan. Goku being the rescale he is, he picked up the doctor and told him not to make his wife scream. My poor Dad had to take him in the hall and explain why I was in pain. When Goku came back in he walked to the where the doctor was, he got one sight of Gohan's head and fainted." Chi Chi happily remembered. "Supreme Kai, I will warn you don't look under the sheet," she said with a mischievous smile.
An innocent smile formed on Shin's face, "Thank you for your advice, I will heed your warning," he thanked her. As the conversation continued, the rest of the Dragon Ball Z crew began to arrive. Among the guests who showed up were, Master Roshi, Quar, the Ox King, Oolang, Yamcha, 18 and Vadel.
Everyone was very excited that a new baby was on the way. The table had gifts that filled to the ceiling for the new baby. With all the gifts open and the cake eaten, it was time for Fortune Teller Baba placed her magic ball on the table to communicate with a Saiyan woman. "Hear me, hear me crystal ball. Show me a Saiyan woman, nice as fall. Teach us; teach us to extract her tummy. Do my command, but demand not money!" her old scratch voice calls out to the magic ball, her hands moving all around.
The group of people surrounded the crystal ball, staring into it. A mean looking woman revealed herself in the magic ball within a minute of Baba calling her. "Hello? Is anyone there? Hello?" the woman barked, sounding annoyed.
"It is I Fortune Teller Baba; I have a question for you. How do Saiyan women have babies?" she inquired.
"Mhh mhh mhhhhh, really? You are asking, the Saiyan Midwife, how to have babies? Well it is simple, a male Saiyan gets an erection from his mate and his mate," she was interrupted by Baba, very swiftly.
"Oh, common BABY it was just getting good!" said a disappointed Master Roshi. His nose was spewing blood as he said this. His mind still on Saiyan baby creation, Bulma then hit him in the head dragging him back to reality. Now seeing stars, his sister now screeched at him.
"SHUT UP BROTHER!" Baba shouted, her forehead revealing a throbbing vein. "I am sorry; I intended to ask how a Saiyan woman gives birth."
The woman in the magic ball grinned, and then answered, "There is a true Saiyan baby being born? How exciting, well she should expect to have her baby in two months, extreme irritability, increased strength and extremely sore feet."
"But, how does the baby come out," now impatient Baba interrupts.
"The same way she had the baby put in. I have had enough of your intolerance," with that, the woman in the ball delivered a Ki blast into the magic ball. The blast sent everyone in the room flying onto his or her butts unharmed.
"Well I never," Baba clearly surprised exclaimed, "what a bitch!"
"AHHHHHHHH!" a loud scream comes from the direction of Supreme Kai. Everyone looked his way; he clutched his stomach, sweat forming on his brow. Obviously, in pain everyone stares at him confused.
"What is it? Food poisoning?" a smirking Yamcha asks.
"No…" he stammers, "Eclipse is having the baby now!" Everyone heads quickly looked her direction. To their surprise, Eclipse held her stomach too. The jaws drop on every face in the room, they look from Shin to Eclipse. They appeared to be having the identical pains jointly.
"Get her to the hospital right away!" Yelled Bulma, they all rushed Eclipse to Bulma's van. Hunched in pain, Shin also takes his placed in the van.
"Just breath, Supreme Kai, you will get through this," a laughing Yamcha said. "Man I am glad I don't have to Bond with anyone, this child birth stuff would suck!" he thought to himself.
In the waiting room, Shin paced back and forth. His head looking at his feet, "I wonder how it is going in there," he thought to himself. Looking over at his friends, he saw they looked worried. "Is seven hours to long to give birth?" he wondered. He continued to pace. Kibito could not help but chuckle as he watched his Master pacing like a panther. He had not seen Shin so nervous in his whole life. The door opened to the room his wife was in, screams from within could be heard.
"GET HIM IN HERE! I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!" no one could mistake that voice, Eclipse was angrily demanding her husband to be in the room. Cautiously, he inched into the room, eyes glued to Eclipse. He could see she was in a tremendous amount of pain, sweat rolling off her forehead. Shin could not think of anything to do but hold her hand. A mistake, because she grasped his hand with viciousness that she nearly broke it.
"Ahhhhhh," Shin screamed in pain. Pulling his hand from her grasp revealed that his hands were red and throbbing. He blew on them to make them stop hurting.
She was turning into a Super Saiyan and then reverting into her normal state, this continued repeatedly until the doctor yelled, "ONE MORE GOOD PUSH, YOU ARE DOING GREAT. Almost done, there we are done!" he pulled out a purple infant. "Looks like you have a healthy baby boy!" the doctor said smiling. Wrapping the baby in a blue blanket, he handed the baby to Shin.
Trembling Shin looked down at his new son. The little boy looked so much like his mother; he had a tail and body of a Saiyan. However, like his father he had purple skin and a white Mohawk. Smiling, the Kai held his son up for Eclipse to see, she smiled exhaustedly. "My son, my SaiyoKai son… you are the first of your kind! What should I name you?" Shin asked his now sleeping son.
"I know what you should name him," a gruff voice said from the door. The voice belonged to the Saiyan Prince Vegeta. Shin shot Vegeta a questioning glance in his direction. The doctor and nurses hesitantly exited the room, trying to avoid eye contact with Vegeta. Vegeta smirked at how he intimidated them and then continued, "You should name him VegetoKai, after his uncle," he said with a hint of kindness in his voice.
"That is a great idea Vegeta," Eclipse whispered before she passed out into a silent sleep. Shin stared at his son, trying to think of a better name. Without Eclipse's consent, naming their son anything else could be hazardous to Shin's health.
"VegetoKai, I like it," Shin agreed reluctantly.
Unknown to Shin, Kibito had heard the naming of the child. Unfortunately, for the Supreme Kai he did not know the true intention of his long time companion. Kibito was tremendously jealous of Eclipse and her relationship with the Supreme Kai. He had served his master for centuries; the Supreme Kai had never noticed Kibito's sexual advances. The decision not to name their child after him had pushed Kibito's jealousy into hatred, hatred for the child and Eclipse. "Something has to be done, I have served the Master for centuries. I deserve to be his mate, not that monkey slut," Kibito thinks to himself, "I have to destroy that little monkey bitch and dispose of that abomination of the Kai genes!" Quietly standing he leaves the premises and instant transmits himself back to the world of Kai. He would seek his revenge.
Meanwhile, Elder Kai and the Z warriors had come back from their training. The large group peered into the nursery through the glass at a very handsome baby. Elder Kai and Master Roshi made funny faces at VegetoKai, the little boy smiled and laughed. Piccolo looking stern as ever receives a slap on the shoulder from Gohan, signaling he should lighten up. He peers in at the baby and smiles.
"Common Supreme Kai," Vegeta beckoned Shin to fallow. Vegeta, Goku, Krillin, and Piccolo had picked up cigars for the Kai to celebrate the birth. "Come Kai and partake in the human male celebration of child birth!" Vegeta demanded, handing the Supreme Kai a cigar. Taking a puff of the cigar, Shin coughed and gagged. The other men laughed.
"Can't inhale it dude," Krillin joked. He demonstrated for the Kai, beckoning him to emulate.
"I wasn't aware that I had performed this task incorrectly," Kai said, his voice apologetic. His eyes were watering now from the coughing. "This is defiantly not my favorite thing to do, but it does help me with my in-laws," thought Shin.
Vegeta smiled at Goku, then Goku spoke, "Don't worry about it, when Vegeta smoked his first cigar he tried to eat it. He threw up all over the place. It was funny!"Vegeta shot Goku a mean glance for telling an embarrassing story. Goku just shrugged it off and held his neck. Soon enough, Shin was smoking a cigar with ease.
Walking into the waiting room, Elder Kai grabbed the attention of the four men, "Listen boys, Grand Supreme Kai will be holding a ball for VegetoKai in other world. You are all going to accompany the Supreme Kai and his family to the world of Kai." The unhappy faces told the Elder Kai, a ball was not at the top of the list to do. "It is nonnegotiable. When the Grand Supreme Kai says jump, you are to jump as high as you can. You ungrateful ingrates, bring your wives and family." The Elder Kai commanded. Groans filled throughout the waiting room; no one wanted to get dressed up in uncomfortable clothing and dance.
"Well it looks like we need to go shopping Bulma," said a cheerful Chi Chi. "How exciting, I haven't seen Goku in a tux since our wedding." She glowed at this thought, "Oh and my boys all grown up, dancing with nice Kai girls…can you imagine?"
"We had better get going; would you like to come 18?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah, Moron is going to want a new dress for this." 18 replied.
The three women walked out of the room talking about what dresses they should get, what color they should ware and what dress they should choose for Eclipse. Remaining in the room were the men, who shifted glances uneasily. One thought was on all their minds, a ball, a ball to honor VegtoKai.
With the Kai Ball taking place in other world soon, it was hard to remain focused on the evil that was looming in the horizon. Will our heroes be ready for King Kackerrot? Where and what is Kibito planning? Should the Supreme Kai be worried about his new son? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z….
