'Thoughts'

Amaterasu Masami-and so my story continues and in case you hadn't already come up with this idea…King Vegeta is really pissed.

King Vegeta-you're damn right I am! When I get my hands on those two I'm gonna kill them.

Amaterasu Masami-no you won't.

King Vegeta-says who?

Amaterasu Masami-more like says what. I just typed the chapter and you won't be killing anyone.

King Vegeta-You're so mean Amaterasu.

Amaterasu Masami-well I wouldn't have a story if you went off killing all my characters now would I?

King Vegeta-Hmph, whatever.

Amaterasu Masami-*rolls eyes and smiles* anyway…what will happen to Kakarott and Vegeta? Well continue and find out. Would you like to do the honors King Vegeta?

King Vegeta-*takes a deep sigh and smirks* well since you asked so politely…onward with the story.

Unknown to the sleeping newly mates there was a very pissed king dismissing guests.

He stood at the front door with a big fake smile and waved saying his good byes.

"Thank you for coming. Good bye. Have a nice night." When everybody was finally gone he rested his back against the door and glared at his mate.

"What?" Bardock said innocently.

"I am going to kill them." King Vegeta started marching in the direction of his son's room.

Bardock ran up behind him. "Vegeta now be rational I mean…"

"What Bardock? There's no excuse for them leaving me in the middle of their mating ceremony."

Bardock rolled his eyes.

"Well…what if we walk in on something?"

"Then we'll finally be able to settle our bet."

"Vegeta please? What if they get pissed?"

"Don't tell me you're afraid of your own children Bardock?"

"No I'm afraid of a new mated couple. What if…"

"They jump on you?" King Vegeta smirked at Bardock who blushed and shoved him.

"Well it's too late anyway Bardock we're already here."

"Fine but I'm blaming you if we get in trouble."

"You're so childish Bardock. If I hadn't seen you fight by now I'd think you were just a scared little weakling."

King Vegeta opened up the door and looked around the room with Bardock almost cowering behind him.

"Oh dear…" King Vegeta walked into the bedroom and saw the young couple tangled up in each other.

"I told you we'd walk in on something." Bardock couldn't bring himself to look away from the couple he flinched when Vegeta started to stir and took a deep sigh of relief when he just nuzzled into the crook of Kakarott's neck.

"Aw aren't they just adorable?"

Bardock stared at King Vegeta as if he was crazy. "Sometimes I worry about you Vegeta."

Bardock started pulling King Vegeta out of the room but he was resisting and ended up knocking over a table.

Kakarott sat up abruptly and held Vegeta to him.

"Who's there?" Kakarott didn't sound too threatening with his sleep smothered voice. He looked over at his parents and rubbed his eyes.

"What are you two doing in here?"

King Vegeta smiled. "I've got to kill you two."

"Why?" Vegeta finally woke up and turned to look at his parents with little interest.

"What are you two doing in here?"

"I tried to stop him boys but you know your father he never listens to me."

King Vegeta put his fists to his sides. "Tattle tale."

Bardock bent down to his height until their foreheads were touching. "Snoop."

"Father why are you in here? I swear you always come in at the wrong times."

"Well you two just up and left right in the middle of the ceremony."

"So?"

"What do you mean so? How could you leave in the middle of your own ceremony?"

Vegeta smirked at Kakarott who smirked back at him.

"I had better things to do."

"Oh you just love making me mad don't you?"

Vegeta rolled his eyes and turned himself getting comfortable on Kakarott's lap and looked over at his father.

"What can I do for you Father because it seems as though "I'm sorry" won't help anything."

"You're damn right." King Vegeta smirked and looked over at Bardock who was catching on.

"I want you to answer a question for me."

Kakarott looked over Vegeta's hair and placed his chin on top of his head.

"What is it?"

Bardock sat down next to Vegeta and smirked up at his boys.

"When you two mated…who was on top?"

Kakarott fell back onto the bed Vegeta only sat there looking at both of his parents.

"I was on top."

"Ha! In your face Bardock!" King Vegeta jumped up and smirked at Bardock.

"Wait…" Bardock looked back at them. "Kakarott who was really on top?"

Kakarott raised his hand but didn't lift himself up. "That would be me."

"What!" King Vegeta pouted and folded his arms. Bardock was smirking and chuckling to himself, standing up off the bed.

Kakarott finally sat up too look at his psycho parents.

"You're fine with this Vegeta?"

Vegeta laid back on Kakarott's chest and smiled at his parents.

"Absolutely."

"Um if I may ask…what kind of question is that?"

"Oh your father and I made a wager."

"Wait you two gambled on our relationship?"

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Oh relax Kakarott don't act like you don't expect something like that from them?"

"When was this?"

"Hm? Oh I think Vegeta was 10 and Kakarott was 5." King Vegeta spoke as if this wasn't awkward at all.

Kakarott folded his arms and looked at Vegeta. Vegeta nodded his head and looked back at his parents.

"What!" He screamed at them.

"What?" Bardock and King Vegeta looked at him as if he were the one who was crazy.

"You do realize that was before we even mated right?"

"Well of course Vegeta but everybody knew you two would get together at some point."

"You two are absolutely unbelievable."

"Well…"

"Wait okay you two know who's on top in our relationship but who's on top in yours?"

"That would be me." Bardock smiled at King Vegeta who refused to look at him. "Oh stop being so sour Vegeta. Besides, I won the bet," Bardock wrapped his arms around Vegeta's waist and rocked them back and forth.

"Imagine how much fun we'll have." King Vegeta leaned into the embrace and smirked up at Bardock.

They heard gagging noises behind them and looked back at their sons' sticking their tongues out.

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "I don't even want to know what the grand prize is."

They both giggled.

"Now, not that I don't love you two but could you leave? I'm tired." Kakarott yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"Oh but I was enjoying our chat so much." King Vegeta said sarcastically but before Bardock could pull him out of the room Kakarott froze up and looked out at the door to their deck.

"What is it Kakarott?"

"Didn't you guys hear that?" Kakarott gently pushed Vegeta off of him and stood up to go to the door, revealing all his naked body parts.

King Vegeta tried not to react too much besides a light blush and avoiding his gaze.

"Um…you guys might want to come and see this."

Vegeta got out of the bed and went toward the deck next.

"What is it Kakarott?"

Kakarott bent down and picked something up and turned around beaming.

With a baby in his arms.

"Kakarott what the Hell? Where did that come from?"

"Isn't he adorable? I just found him on the deck and look." Kakarott moved to the side and pointed to the deck where a basket held another two babies.

"Oh my God…" King Vegeta rushed over to the basket and picked up another baby.

"Look at this one he's so cute I want to eat him." Kakarott and the king were going goo goo eyed over the babies while Bardock stood shaking his head at them.

"Looks like you forgot one." Vegeta bent over the basket and picked up the last baby.

"Ka-Kakarott look at this!"

Kakarott looked up from the baby he was playing with to look at Vegeta.

"Hm? What is it Vegeta?"

"The child…it looks just like you!" Vegeta held the baby out for him to see and Kakarott almost fell backwards seeing the child.

It had spikey hair just like him and a face just like his but only smaller.

"Wow…a carbon copy. Where did he come from?"

Vegeta glared at his mate. "Well why don't you tell me Kakarott?"

Kakarott recoiled away from Vegeta and stared at him as if he was crazy.

"What…what do you mean?"

"Oh I don't know maybe when you were supposedly on missions you're messing around with other Saiyans."

"What!"

"Tell me Kakarott was it another man or worse were you seeing a woman?"

"No Vegeta you have it all wrong I'm always where I say I'm going…"

"Well wait a moment Vegeta…" King Vegeta turned around to face the boys and held out the baby in his hands.

"This one looks a lot like you…besides his peculiar eyes...and hair"

"Peculiar eyes?" They both walked over to their father to look at the baby.

"Wow would you take a look at his hair? It's purple." The baby stared at them with an annoyed look and burrowed deeper into the kings arm.

Kakarott looked back at his mate. "Oh so you accuse me huh?"

"What are you talking about Kakarott?"

"Like you don't know! Where did he come from?"

"What! How dare you accuse me Kakarott?"

"I can't believe you would try to blame me. You the great Saiyan prince is probably using his title to get into everybody else's pants, aren't you?"

"Oh boys?"

"What!"

"Well everybody knows Kakarott isn't terrible enough to cheat on you Vegeta."

"Ha!"

"And Kakarott, Vegeta is a prince if he were to cheat on you and have children he'd be…well a disgrace."

"Ha!"

"Plus the babies don't smell like you so stop pointing fingers." Bardock shrugged his shoulders and looked over at them.

"Hm then I wonder how they look so much like us."

"Who cares my question is where did they come from?" King Vegeta went outside and looked around but didn't see anybody that could've left the babies.

Bardock sighed. "What are we going to do with them?"

"Well that's a dumb question Daddy we're going to keep them of course."

"What!"

"Well yes, I mean obviously whomever left them here wanted us to take care of them and besides," Kakarott held the baby closer to his face. "Who could leave somebody so cute?"

"Their parents obviously."

"Vegeta!" Kakarott glared at him.

"What I mean think of it Kakarott we don't have the resources to take care of children and these two look like they're less than a month old they need food from their mother."

"Speaking of which look what the babies doing Vegeta?" Kakarott pointed to the baby in Vegeta's arms which was wriggling around in his grasp it turned until it faced his bare chest and latched onto…his nipple.

"AH! What's it doing? Father I know you know what it's doing what is it doing?" Vegeta was shaking so much that they thought he might drop the baby.

"Oh relax Vegeta it's only natural see?" The irritated baby in his arms was hitting against his chest wanting entrance through the chest plate on his armor.

"What are you talking about?"

"Vegeta don't tell me you haven't been paying attention in your classes?"

"Of course I have but with you teaching us about our race and this fairy tale planet Earth it's hard to keep track now what is it doing?"

"It's a he Vegeta and he's hungry."

"Well I don't have any food tell it I don't have any food,"

"Him and I don't speak baby Vegeta. As you very well know male Saiyans can get pregnant."

Vegeta was ready to faint.

"You… you can't mean…"

"Yes. That's why I didn't want you to be the submissive. If you and Kakarott wanted to have a baby while you were in heat you'd be the one to get pregnant."

"Plus we both thought it would be funny if Kakarott was walking around fat and pregnant." Bardock chuckled and got a terrible glare out of Kakarott. "But I guess we'll just have to deal with watching Vegeta killing a whole bunch of people for thinking he's fat."

Vegeta was too stupefied to smack Bardock. "Oh God…what am I going to do I can't feed…him I'm not pregnant."

"That's the great thing about being Saiyans Vegeta, we're all about transformations and I'm about to help you with a transformation you're just going to love." King Vegeta gave him a big Kakarott like smile that made Vegeta's eye twitch.

"I'm taking I won't be a super Saiyan at the end of this."

"Of course not silly my abilities only go but so far but it will benefit the children."

"So we're keeping them?" Kakarott had the most pleading look on his face holding the child close to him again.

Vegeta sighed. "Well I don't seem to have any other choice."

"Oh yay!" This had to be the world's biggest smile plastered on Kakarott's face. He held the baby up to its face and rubbed noses with it. "Do you hear that boys? You get to live with us."

"Okay Father lets' get this over with before I have crying Saiyans in my room."

"Okay," King Vegeta bent closer to Vegeta's ear so only he could hear. "To tell you the truth I trust you a lot more than Kakarott when it comes to child care." They both looked at the taller Saiyan and pictured him pregnant.

"For this you need absolute concentration meaning Bardock Kakarott you two hold the babies while I teach Vegeta." King Vegeta and Vegeta shoved the babies they were holding in Bardock's arms.

"What why me?"

"Oh I'm sorry would you like to teach Vegeta about the wonders of child care?" King Vegeta put his hands on his hips and looked expectantly at Bardock who wouldn't make eye contact.

Vegeta looked at the warrior innocently but Bardock only recoiled backwards.

King Vegeta nodded. "I didn't think so. Now Vegeta, sit on the bed." King Vegeta held both of Vegeta's hands in his own and sat down with him.

"Now, close your eyes and think of what you want."

"Is it really that simple Father I mean that seems too easy for something as important as this?"

"Well you tell me Vegeta you haven't even tried it yet."

Vegeta rolled his eyes then closed them thinking about…feeding children?

"Vegeta?"

Vegeta ground his teeth together. "What?"

"You're trying too hard."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are I can see the sweat coming off your face."

Vegeta wiped his face quickly and looked away from his father pouting.

"You're so cute."

"You've spent too much time with Kakarott. Since when the king of all Saiyans call anything cute?"

"Since they become grandparents. Now relax, all you have to do is think about making your body feed the babies and so it shall be."

"Wow you make us sound as if we can just poof up anything in our bodies."

"Over the years our submissive ancestors have adapted their bodies to do that kind of thing."

"Amazing now lets' go."

"Just relax and focus."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever." Vegeta closed his eyes again and focused.

"That's it Vegeta."

A couple minutes later Vegeta felt something growing in his chest and another minute he felt a weight in his chest.

"You did it Vegeta."

"Hooray." He poked at his nipples. "They seem…bigger."

"Well that's supposed to happen, now to test you. Bardock could you bring a baby over?"

Bardock walked over with the baby that looks like Kakarott and handed him to Vegeta.

"What do I do now?"

"Sit and watch." King Vegeta got comfortable on the bed and waited, watching the baby the entire time.

The baby sniffed and turned toward Vegeta's chest latching onto his nipple and suckling.

King Vegeta laid back. "Yes I am a genius."

Vegeta rolled his eyes at his father and took a deep sigh. "Thank you."

"No problem my dear boy. Now then, Bardock and I will be leaving now."

"Now?" Bardock whined. He and Kakarott had been making faces at the babies and he didn't want to leave yet.

"Yes Bardock we can play with them tomorrow but for now I don't think Vegeta wants us watching him at a time like this."

Vegeta wasn't paying much attention to his parents. All his attention was on the baby in his arms.

"See you two in the morning." Said King Vegeta pushing a pouting Bardock out the door.

"Wait!"

"What Bardock?"

"Can't we at least name the children before we leave?"

Kakarott smiled at him. "That's a great idea Daddy but what to name them?"

"I'll be doing that since I got no say in anything that had to do with the mating ceremony."

"Oh fine Bardock you big baby."

Bardock stuck his tongue out at his mate. "Bite me. Now for the one that looks like Kakarott I think the name Goten fits."

"Fine."

"For the other one that also looks a bit like Kakarott I think Gohan will fit perfectly."

"That's cute."

"And for the last one I was thinking…Trunks."

"Trunks?" They all spoke simultaneously and stared at the man holding the purple haired baby.

"Yes a peculiar name for a peculiar child. Isn't that right you little freak?"

"Daddy!"

"What I mean look at him he has blue eyes. That's just not Saiyan."

The baby looked at him as if he was about to cry but held back tears.

"Aw look what you did your making him cry." Kakarott took the baby from his father and soothed him until he started to fall asleep.

"You're so mean Daddy. Just because he looks different doesn't mean he's a freak. I think his hair is adorable. He's…one of a kind. Isn't that right Trunks?"

The baby had already fallen asleep and was nestled into Kakarott's chest.

"You're too kind Kakarott."

Kakarott stuck his tongue out at his father.

"Besides he's still a Saiyan so stop teasing him."

"Oh fine Kakarott relax."

King Vegeta pulled on Bardock. "Now can we leave Bardock?"

"Yes fine Vegeta. See you two in the morning. Why are you in such a rush anyway."

"I want my prize."

"Okay bye you two." Kakarott started pushing Bardock and the king out of the room.

When they were out he made a deep sigh and looked back at Vegeta.

"Aw Vegeta you look so…"

"If you say adorable I will blast you."

"…adorable."

Vegeta prepared a ki blast and Kakarott smiled and held the other babies in his arms.

Vegeta sighed and shrank the ki blast. "You're not funny."

Kakarott laughed and sat down on the bed beside him,

"So are you happy Kakarott?"

"Of course Vegeta I mean I get you, children, and our very weird parents."

"Yes…our parents."

"They're so weird but I love them."

"Yes for some reason I can never bring myself to lock our parents in the closet and throw away the key."

"Hah we'd probably be doing them a favor…Vegeta?"

"Hn?"

"How do you feel about this?"

Vegeta took his time answering and when he did answer he didn't look at Kakarott.

"I think…this is a pretty great life we're living."

"I'm glad." Kakarott gave him a soft smile and kissed his temple.

They sat there silent just enjoying each-others company.

~Meanwhile with the kings~

Bardock and King Vegeta were walking back to their bedroom when they ran into Tula.

"Hello Tula, we have great news."

"Oh that's great I have bad news that you probably won't want to hear."

King Vegeta sighed and braced himself for the news. "Go on Tula."

Tula poked his fingers together and didn't met the kings gaze. "Well you remember that lizard that came here last time that was super weird?"

"Don't tell me he's back again?"

Bardock turned to his mate looking hopeful. "I get to beat him up this time right?"

"Only if provoked."

Bardock groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Lets' get this over with. Lead the way Tula."

Tula nodded and led them back to the throne room where Frieza was waiting in his pod with his green and pink guards standing beside him.

"What is he doing here again?" Bardock whispered to King Vegeta.

"I have no idea." King Vegeta took a deep sigh and sat down. Bardock took his seat beside him, happy to have his own throne.

{Well don't you look regal Bardock?}

{I try}

King Vegeta smirked at his mate then looked back at the lizard in his home.

"What do you want this time Frieza?"

"Well is that anyway to greet your guest King Vegeta?"

King Vegeta didn't say anything and just looked at Frieza with little interest.

"Right well I came back to see if you changed your mind about my proposition."

King Vegeta took a deep sigh and looked at Bardock who was growling inside his throat.

"Lord Frieza I will never sell my people. I told you that already and this is the last time I will tell you."

Frieza wasn't happy. He growled loudly so everyone heard.

"You'll regret this King Vegeta. I always get what I want and this won't be any different!" He stormed out in his pod with his men following close behind.

When he left King Vegeta took a deep sigh and sat deeper into the chair. Tula walked up to stand beside him.

"So what do we do now your majesty?"

King Vegeta looked at the spot Frieza was once sitting then at the ceiling.

"I guess we'll just have to wait for the inevitable."

Amaterasu Masami-yeah the next chapter is where the action starts.

King Vegeta-Amaterasu what do you plan on doing?

Amaterasu Masami-*looks around the room frantically* oh would you look at that the chapter's over.

King Vegeta-but wait-

Amaterasu Masami-Buh Bye now!
