Prince Trunks

The space ship landed, well, it actually crashed on a nearby mountain, he wasn´t very good calculating distances and he had tried not to crash on the house, he wouldn´t want to kill his heir before seeing him at least once. The landscape seemed peaceful enough, a few bears and a couple of scared squirrels, nothing to worry about and plenty of space to continue his training in peace. He smiled pleased with his new "home", it was a perfect spot for what he had in mind. To defeat the androids in front of Goku was his new goal, that way he would prove once and for all that he was the strongest warrior in the universe, he would finally ascend and be what his father wanted, what he had dreamt with all his life, he would be the kind of person his son would surely admire. It was weird, it was the first time he had included his son in his thoughts. Just like that his life had changed. He wasn´t sure he liked that. He had refused to let the woman take over him and now the child… maybe he shouldn´t go to Capsule Corp. But, again, that boy, because the baby had to be a boy, was HIS son, and therefore, he had to go.

Capsule Corp was a huge compound, a sign of the extreme wealth of the Briefs. He had never realized that it was an amazing place, so big and full of interesting stuff. Bulma was rich and brilliant, just the kind of girl a prince deserved. Vegeta smirked. He was a lucky bastard. Poor scarface must still be crying over what he had lost, he had it all so close, almost in his hands, then he got cocky, started playing around while she found something better, MUCH better and finally she had done the only logical things she could have done, she had preferred the prince.

Vegeta landed in the middle of the garden. He stood there, arms crossed in front of him, expressionless, silent. Bulma´s mother was singing and picking up some flowers. She turned around and saw him.

-"Yohoo! Vegeta!, it is so nice to see you, how are you, dear?"- she seemed so pleased to see him that he felt a bit disgusted by her cheerfulness. He had always considered her a stupid and ridiculous woman but she ignored the fact that he was not answering, not even moving.

-"You must be so happy, and proud"- she continued-"You do look good, have you been doing some exercise?"

-Where is Bulma?"- Vegeta asked ignoring her other remarks

-"She is sleeping, you dope, she is still too exhausted, poor little Bulma, I told her it was hard but she really had a bad experience"- The woman´s voice was extremely irritating, and Vegeta was feeling the need to blast her into oblivion.

-"She is a lazy weakling, what more could you expect of a human?"- he said, he wanted to ask about the baby but felt it impossible to say the words-"Where is the brat?"

-"He is the most beautiful thing in the world"- the happy woman continued as she had not heard his insults-"He is so tiny and yet so funny to watch. I tell you, he has your frown, I saw it and told Bulma that he will look just like his daddy, so cute"

-"Where is the brat?"- Vegeta repeated

-"He is going to be a heartbreaker, that is for sure, just like his granny, such a pretty little thing"- she continued-"he cries a lot, might be because his mommy has been sick, but, well, now that he has his daddy back…"

-"Sick? Where are they?"- Vegeta couldn´t wait anymore and started walking towards Bulma´s bedroom, her mother still talking in the garden about the baby´s blue eyes.

Bulma was sleeping on the bed, she looked pale and it was obvious she had been sick. He looked at her worried and then realized that there was a small cot in the room, it was all purple sounds were coming from there. Vegeta felt nervous, he was going to actually see his baby, apparently it was a boy for what the crazy woman in the garden had told him, but it could be a girl, that woman was the worst source of information. He walked near the cot and saw the little hands throwing punches in the air and felt such pride at those simple movements. The baby was a boy, a small one, with huge blue eyes and funny purple hair, he looked a lot like his mother. Vegeta frowned, his human half was obviously stronger that the saiyan, he felt a certain disappointment, there was no black hair, not dark eyes, no flame-like hairdo, he looked like a human, there was no saiyan trace at all. Even in this Kakarot had won, his son was a miniature of a saiyan, he had much of his weakling mother, but he looked like a warrior. And his son, the heir of a bloodline of kings and princes looked like a ballerina, with purple hair! He covered his face with one hand. What had he done to deserve such punishment?

The baby sensed the presence of his father and frowned, just like Vegeta, he looked ready to attack and threw some punches trying to hit him. Vegeta looked at him and got closer to the child.

-"Now, now, is that the ki of a warrior I am sensing? Show me what have you got there, brat?"- he taunted the child.

Trunks punched his father on the jaw with his all his limited strength, and Vegeta laughed pleased. Well, maybe there was some saiyan blood in him after all.

-"He looks like her but he is a miniature you"- Said a voice.

Vegeta turned around to see Doctor Brief on the doorway, he had been watching their first moments together.

-"What is wrong with Bulma?"- Vegeta asked, he was embarrassed that someone had seen his sparring moment with the child and thought that it was better to change the subject.

-"Childbirth is always hard but delivering a saiyan baby was too painful for her"- doctor Briefs explained-"She is okay now, she will get better soon. The boy has been doing fine"

-"Of course, he is a warrior"- Vegeta added with pride-"he is a half-breed but comes from royalty. Has she named him already?"

-"Trunks Briefs"- the grandfather came closer to the cot and placed the baby on his shoulder-"He is like a little kitten, so soft"

Vegeta saw the tiny purple tail flapping at the back of the tiny baby and was surprised by its colour. A saiyan tail with that colour; that was a first.

-"Just like a kitten"- doctor Briefs smiled when he realized that Vegeta had seen the tail.-"She said that we have to wait, that you have to see the tail before we cut it off"

Vegeta felt moved by her thoughtfulness, she knew him better than she should for her own good. He was not what she wanted, he was not her "prince charming", he was not like that.

-"You better take it off unless you don´t mind a giant ape destroying this mudball on the next full moon"- Vegeta said refusing to look at her. Trunks playing trying to touch his dad´s face with his tail, Vegeta moved it away and the tail circled his fingers. It was a weird and nice feeling, a saiyan tail, Vegeta could still remember his.

-"Maybe you should wake her up, she has been waiting to see you for a while"- doctor Brief said.

-"No"- Vegeta wasn´t sure why his answer was so harsh-"I came to see the brat"

-"Well"- the doctor offered the baby to his father

-"I don´t want to hold him"- Vegeta looked surprised, when had he given the idea that he wanted to hug that little thing? Besides it was easier to leave and go back to training if he didn´t touch the baby anymore, touching the tail had been hard enough.

Doctor Briefs took the baby with him and left the room. Vegeta saw how his son was going away and then he looked at her. Vegeta refused to touch her, even though he wanted to, but it was the reason that prevented him from touching Trunks.

-"Trunks? For Kami´s sake, woman, what where you thinking when you choose that name? It is not the name of a warrior, can you imagine anyone fearing Trunks, the ruler of the universe? No, of course not, it is a stupid name, our son will be a total geek. Look, I know you are tired, and asleep and all, but I am here to fight the androids, so I will be away, after the androids, maybe, we…we should talk, but only after I defeat Kakarot. Take care of the brat. I will make sure you are not killed by the androids, do not worry about that. And get better, you look awful, woman,…, no more children for you, we should not have anymore, it is too hard for you…"

He looked down at her, moved his hand as if to touch her temples but he quickly moved it away. He had to train, he had to achieve his new goal, the androids were going to disappear, Kakarot was going to kneel at him, defeated, and he would protect his son, his heir. Damn, woman! Prince Trunks of all the saiyans??? That sounded so corny, and purple hair? His son was going to such a geek…he could buy him something to make him look more like a warrior, maybe a small armour, or a tiny sword, something like that could suit him. He was about to fly away, back to his mountain when he saw the tiny purple tail in the garden, his grandmother was holding Trunks and telling him how he was going to have millions of girlfriends. Baby Trunks was scowling at her, which made Vegeta smirk. Well, maybe there was still hope
