3 years later…
Vegeta paced as he waited for the news of their next assignment. There were dark circles under his eyes. He had not had a good night's sleep since his mate's disappearance.
Frieza walked forward. Over the years, all of his commanding officers had gotten on the prince's bad side, now all were dead and the prince was his right-hand man, but there was something in the way of him keeping Vegeta forever. That woman was in the way. The one that knew the secret of his power. Frieza cursed her mentally, but his hatred did not go unnoticed. The Frost Demon wasn't stupid, he knew that the prince had grown far too strong for his own good. Vegeta's anger had brought forth a new power about a year ago. The Frost Demon knew he was done for if Vegeta ever learned the truth about his home planet.
The prince chuckled darkly as he saw his assignment appear on the screen. Something about the name felt familiar, but that wasn't what was fully on his mind. He was tired of taking orders. As he stared at Frieza, he could only think of one thing, revenge. Since he was a child, he knew the truth. It was time for him to get what he was seeking.
Frieza didn't know what hit him as the saiyan prince powered up in a matter of seconds, then stuck his hand through his chest. "Now, isn't this ironic?" The prince laughed as he watched his former tormentor squirm. "Did you really think I was that stupid?" Even as he spoke, the prince could already sense that the frost demon was dead.
Vegeta tossed the body to the floor, then looked back at the screen. How could he have forgotten such a place? His mate had always talked of it. He walked up to the screen, touching it. "So, this is Earth."
Gokin smiled down at her youngest child. Verrot looked so much like his father that she couldn't help it. The boy stared up at her as his eyes fell, he was in need of a good nap.
Her eldest was over at Raditz's. Verrot's name had been her brother's idea. Raditz himself was busy these days. Tights had already given him one child and now another was on the way.
Her two-year-old sputtered off some nonsense. "Mama, when Dada coming home?"
Gokin gave him a sad smile. "He's doing very important work. But I do promise that you'll meet him someday."
"Why isn't someday now?" Verrot asked, yawning in his mother's arms. He didn't have a tail. It was removed after he was born. After she spoke with Bulma, Gohan and Raditz had also gone through a tail removal. No one wanted to destroy the planet, and the moon was just too nice to go without.
"I don't know," Gokin answered. Oh, how she wished that today was the day. Her training did not slow during her pregnancy. She had grown much stronger, as had her son and brother. They even put that training to use, teaching many of the humans what they learned during their time in space.
But that wasn't Gokin's main goal at the moment. Verrot was just starting to learn and she had to take a step back to focus on making her son as strong as he could be.
One thing that hadn't changed over the years though was Chico's advances. Every other day, there was a new vase full of flowers sent to Capsule Corp. Gokin couldn't really go back to her own house and Bulma made her the perfect room to train, so she chose to stay. They only took up three rooms on the second floor, which was practically nothing in such a large house.
She looked back down at her son, watching as his eyes began to close. Finally, he fell asleep as Bulma walked in. "I thought you would want to go out?" the heiress asked.
Gokin shook her head. "No, I'll just stay here." She liked watching him sleep way too much.
Bulma gave her a smile, before heading downstairs. She had a busy day of baby shopping ahead of her…even if Yamcha didn't know about it yet. Launch, and surprisingly Maron, were keeping it quiet as she was waiting for the right moment. Tights was just glad to get out of the house. Raditz and Gohan were looking after her child at the moment.
"What are we waiting for? The guys are all training, here's our chance," Maron said, holding Krillin's credit card.
Bulma hated to see what the smaller man's bill looked like. But then she sighed. She hated leaving Gokin here, but this is what the saiyan wanted. Her oldest friend only seemed to have time for training and her children anymore. Rarely, she learned more of the one called Vegeta… but she didn't get much. Only a couple of character traits here and there…and it wasn't like Gokin was just handing those over to her. She only caught the tidbits as the saiyan talked to her youngest son.
If only Gokin could be happy. She really wished this Vegeta knew the trouble he had caused. If he were here, she would smack him across the face for hurting Gokin so bad.
Their pods dropped down, hitting the planet with incredible speed. Nappa got out with Turly as they looked around the desert that surrounded them. "Is this the right place?" He had heard about their mission, but still remembered the corpse he had seem as they left. Nappa didn't think that Vegeta could take down Frieza so easily, but now that it had happened, he and his mate were in more danger.
Nappa walked over to Turly, only to watch as Vegeta floated up. Slowly, he turned to face them. The prince smirked, causing Nappa to believe this was the end. He held Turly against him, only to be terrified as Vegeta flew towards them.
The prince ended up pushing them to the side, leaving both of them confused. They figured they should follow, but kept their distance.
Vegeta was zeroing in on that Ki. He knew it was hers. The closer he got, the more sure of it he was. Nothing was going to get in his way. Kakara would be back in his arms before nightfall.
At some point, he had left Nappa and Turly as specks in the wind, but he didn't care in the slightest. The object of his affection was close. His mind imagined her smell, followed by her face. Those beautiful features were lost on that human husband of hers. If she had gone back to that man, he would rip him to shreds to prove his love.
He appeared in front of some strange yellow dome, only looking at a group of women who were exiting it. They didn't matter though. What he wanted lay inside.
Vegeta pushed through the group, almost knocking one of them over. He didn't care as they yelled after him. He was a man on a mission.
Bulma stared at the man that had almost knocked over Maron, but noticed that he was still walking towards her house. She yelled after him, but he continued until he was inside. Maron had already pulled out her phone to call the police and Tights was calling her husband.
Launch forced herself to sneeze as she followed Bulma back into the house. They ran after him, trying in vain to stop him from possibly stealing something, but the strange man was way too strong. Bulma was sure she had never seen a man this strong in her life. Launch pulled out a pistol and shot him in the back, only for the bullet to ricochet off of him.
Bulma laughed as she heard the police cars outside. "It ends here. Get out of my house!" she snapped as a bedroom door opened. Gokin walked out and stared at the stranger. "Get him, Gokin!"
Gokin was in shock. Was she dreaming? This couldn't be… She had to be imagining things. Vegeta wasn't really here.
The prince took in her form, her real smell hit him and he gave into his needs. Before Kakara could object, he pushed her against a nearby wall and descended upon her. He expected some resistance. Her opinion of him had to still be very low.
But the moment their lips met, her eyes closed and she kissed him back. His scent met hers, letting Gokin know that this wasn't a dream. Slowly, her hands moved up his chest before wrapping them around his neck. She wanted that scent as close as humanly possible.
Bulma and Launch stared at the two of them dumbstruck. That was until Launch pointed something out. "He has a tail."
The heiress stared at the brown appendage, then took in the spiky, jet black hair. The kiss between the two saiyans intensified as Bulma realized who the man was. "I think that's him. Now I wish I had a camera."
As Launch was about to answer her, Vegeta pulled up. Both saiyans were panting as they stared into each other's eyes. "Kakara." The heiress heard her friend's saiyan name, followed by Gokin's answer.
"Vegeta." Her eyes filled with tears as he leaned into her neck, purring as he wrapped his tail around her waist. "How did you…?"
"Did you think I would forget you?" the prince whispered. "I have thought of nothing but you for the last 3 years." Vegeta took her hands in his. "Please tell me that you don't believe that my feelings are false. I only thought of you that way for a short time, but it didn't take long for those needs to turn into a genuine affection." The prince didn't care who was watching right now. "What I'm trying to say is that I… I love you." Vegeta looked on as tears filled her eyes, but at the same time, she was smiling. "You are something real special, Kakara. I've never known a woman that loves to train like I do. Hell, I have never met another person like me. From the day I saw you in that hanger, I've been yours…if you will continue to have me."
Gokin felt nothing but pure joy as she stared up at her prince. "Vegeta, I…" She was prepared to go on and on about him, when the heiress squealed.
"It's so romantic!" Bulma said, giggling with Launch.
The fighter turned red. "Can…Bulma, can we have some time alone?" Gokin asked as a siren went off. She froze in place as she looked back to the bedroom. Just as she predicted, the loud sounds woke up her son.
Vegeta froze at the wailing sound. He sensed something in the room close to him. There was something familiar about that Ki, but at the same time it was different. He looked down at his mate, questioningly.
Gokin gave him a smile then turned to Bulma. "Can you take care of the cops?"
"But I want some pictures," Bulma whined, then froze as Vegeta turned to stare at her. Her heart stopped for a second. He was handsome, but at the same time, there was something scary about him. "Fine, I'll go." She grabbed Launch's arm, leaving the couple alone.
Gokin sighed, then grabbed Vegeta's hand. "There's someone you need to meet." The prince felt confused as he was led into a room with a crib in the corner. Standing up against the bars was a small boy…that looked like him. Vegeta let himself be led towards the crib and watched as his mate picked up the child. She shushed his crying in seconds, then looked back up at him. "Vegeta…this is your son."
The prince's mouth went dry as he was passed the child. The boy looked him in the eye, then grinned. "Dada's home?"
"Wha…what's his name?" The prince could tell that the boy was clearly his. The only thing missing was the widow's peak. Instead, his bangs were much like his mothers.
"Verrot, or should I call him, Prince Verrot?" Gokin asked, watching as Vegeta held their son. The prince seemed to be speechless.
The prince took in the name. He was surprised that Kakara gave him a saiyan name, and a strong one at that. Vegeta looked over at his mate. "Did you know?" He needed to know if she had this knowledge before she left. The prince wasn't sure he could forgive her if she did.
"No, I didn't know until about 2 months later," the fighter answered, then leaned into his side. "I missed you, Vegeta."
The prince gave her one of his smirks. "I believe you know how I felt about it."
Finally, Gokin laughed. It had been so long since she had really laughed. "Will you be going back into space?" She needed to know this now.
"No, I will not leave your side. I thought a couple of months was bad…3 years was the worst torture you could have inflicted upon me," Vegeta answered.
"I didn't wish to torture you," Gokin said, kissing his cheek. "I acted rashly."
"You had your reasons. I cannot fault you for thinking ill of me," the prince answered as his son eyed him. "Has he been training?"
The fighter giggled. "Every day."
Vegeta smirked, setting his son down. "Let's see how strong you are." He lowered his face. "Punch me."
Verrot giggled before punching his father in the face.
Outside
Chaos had erupted as squad cars were everywhere. Nappa and Turly walked up to the mess, only to be met by Raditz and Kakara's son. The boy had grown taller. There were some humans behind him.
"What are you doing here?" Raditz questioned. Those two were the last people he wanted to see.
Nappa sputtered as two women walked out of the house. Bulma called off the cops, and, before long, the mess was cleared up. The heiress looked over at the other visitors, seeing that Raditz was not happy to see them. "Do you know, Vegeta?"
Raditz's ears perked up. "He's here?" To think that the prince was here. Nappa and Turly looked terrified. Vegeta must have been a real treasure after they left.
As Bulma was about to speak, they heard a loud crash. Vegeta had been thrown through a wall, and fell to the ground. She was about to ask someone for first aid, but the saiyan got back up, rubbed his cheek, and smirked. "That's my boy!"
Nappa and Turly felt confused until Kakara flew through the hole. They could clearly see the toddler in her arms. The two of them began to sweat. Mating was one thing, but Kakara had been carrying a royal child when they had played their game. If they were back home, both of them would have been put to death.
"Mr. Vegeta are you okay?" Gohan asked, seeing how happy his mother looked.
The prince looked over, finding the brat had grown taller. It was kind of unnerving that all of their tails were gone, but what was he going to do? "Yes, I will be fine."
Raditz walked over, giving the prince a nod. "So, you intend to make my sister an honest woman?"
Vegeta began to laugh at the third-class's words. "I always intended that."
"You mean that, my Prince?" Gokin giggled watching him turn red.
Bulma turned to Maron and Launch. "Prince?"
Raditz turned back around as Vegeta wrapped his arms and tail around Kakara. "Yes, Prince Vegeta of Planet Vegeta."
The heiress couldn't believe it. Gokin was in love with a prince. She wanted to ask more questions, but could only look on as the two of them kissed once more. "You're never going to leave my side, Kakara."
"I wouldn't dream of it, Vegeta." She purred against him. "Unless someone was to take me somewhere."
"The only person taking you anywhere will be me," Vegeta said, sure of himself. "What is a king without a queen?"
Gokin smiled at him. "I don't know."
"He is forever lost," the prince answered.
"So you were lost without me?" Gokin teased.
Vegeta pulled her close, Verrot was snuggled between them. "Without a doubt." He kissed her one more time, letting himself fall more for the strange warrior that had taken his heart.
In the beginning, she had just been a third class and nothing more, but she was more than that. She was his drive and his purpose. Forever he would pledge himself to the woman who had taken in his very soul from him. He imagined growing old with her by his side. Along the way they would get stronger, and with each passing day, his love would grow. Nothing but death could remove her from him now. He was here to stay.
She was only a third class…but in his heart, she would forever be his queen.
The End.
Final Author's Note
Yes, here we are at the end. I know it seems rushed, but after this I didn't know where to really take it. Not only that, but it would have started to drag if I kept going. So, keeping this a short and sweet ending where all of the loose ends are tide up works for me. If you like this story, there will be another replacing it's time slot, but it will only be available on AO3 as its full of sexual humor. This time, the gender roles are reversed with Vegeta being the female. Accidentally in Love will begin the day after Thanksgiving in the US. Thanks for reading this. I loved reading all of your comments.
