ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

chapter begins...

"I'll be back before you know it." Bardock hugged and kissed Taylor one last time before he got into the pod.

"I know. Just don't die alright?" Taylor smiled and crossed her arms. She frowned when she remembered how UN-intimating her usual stance was. The glare, crossed armed, half-fight stance was NOT working because of the bugling belly underneath her shirt.

"I'll be back soon. I promise." Bardock said one last time before turning away. "Fasha, Tora! Are you guys ready?" He asked his new team.

Tora had been one of his friends for over six years, and Fasha had been a mutual friend, through Tora and that annoying girl whose name now slipped both Bardock and Taylor's mind.

"Yeah. Let's go." Tora said and he climbed into his pod.

"Don't worry Taylor. Tora and I won't let anything happen to Bardock." Fasha smiled and promised.

"I'm holding you to that." Taylor growled. Fasha just nodded, smiled and got into the pod.

Taylor stood back and watched as the space pods were launched into the air. They quickly passed the huge ship that Frieza resided in.

Then Taylor walked back into the building where she lived and ate lunch.

While sitting at the table, she thought about going to Bardock's house in the other building next door and getting her things.

She would need to lock up, before that maybe clean up a bit. God he was such a pig.

After she was done eating, she did as she planned and cleaned Bardock's house. After gathering her things and locking up, she walked back to her house.

Now she was lying on the couch. She traced her finger over her stomach and thought about names.

If it were a girl, she would be named either Rae or Demetria. If it were, a boy like Bardock was hoping for, then...well. There were multiple names.

Taylor liked Raiden, after her father. Bardock liked that idea as well, but had other names also in mind. The first was Kakarot. Not really what Taylor would like for her son, but it would do. The second was Raditz. Taylor didn't really like this one as well, but again, it would do.

Moreover, that was it. If it were a girl, then Rae or Demetria. If a boy, then Raiden, Kakarot, or Raditz.

Taylor thought harder and tried to think of other names. None came to mind.

Then Taylor began to feel a bit of jealousy. Bardock was able to go out on missions and she was stuck at home.

She sat up and frowned. It wasn't exactly fair. She was A LOT stronger than Bardock; HE should be the one having a baby, not her.

She got to her feet and walked to her window.

She watched as men and women trained below. Space pods flew into space, everyone was busy.

Except her.

No, she will NOT be left out.

She turned and eyed everything. She pushed her couch out of the way and some chair.

Slowly, she raised her power level. Long ago, she had learned how to read power levels as Ki. She no longer needed a scouter.

Her power level slowly rose.

Power level...32...49...slowly...57...79...slower...63...77...90...100.

Taylor hesitated her Ki there. What would happen if she pushed over 100?

She shrugged and ignored the voice in her head.

She punched the air. Her power level rose. Nothing happened...nothing hurt.

She punched again. No pain.

She began to punch faster and harder. Then she went for it. She kicked. Still no pain.

She kicked and punched again. She continued until she was training normally. Her power level still not going high enough.

She raised it.

She punched and continued.

After a few minutes, she stopped and placed her hands on her knees. She was out of breath.

She stood straight.

Then she felt it. Sharp, piercing pain in her stomach. So painful she fell her knees. So held her stomach and felt the pain start again.

She started seeing black dots in her vision. Realizing she was fainting, she stood up and stumbled to her door.

It opened automatically for her, but by then, it was already too late. She fell her knees, then fell forward.

Taylor's unconscious body laid halfway in and halfway out her door.

Taylor's eyes slowly fluttered open. She was sitting into a rejuvenation tank. She could see Doxlam and someone else outside the tank.

"Ah, she's awake." Doxlam said. He pressed a button the on side of the tank the water emptied out. The door opened and Taylor pulled of the mask.

"Doxlam, what happened?" She asked, very confused. The last thing she remembered was lying on the couch,

Doxlam looked at her with sad eyes and shook his head.

"Not good news." He turned with his hands folder behind his back.

"What?"

"Taylor, you have had a miscarriage." He half mumbled, half muttered.

Shock and sorrow hit Taylor all at once. "You mean...the baby..."

"It's gone."

She didn't say anything. She looked down and saw her flat stomach.

"Does...does Bardock know?"

"He was informed yes. He's on his way home as we speak."

"Oh jeez..." Taylor picked herself up and climbed out of the tank. She walked slowly to get her clothes on. "Thanks for..." she trailed off as she began to exit the door. "Huh, I do not know. Bye I guess." She nodded as she exited the room and walked home.

When Bardock rushed into Taylor's home, he was almost in hysterics. He as holding back tears.

Taylor told him what happened and watched helplessly as he fell to his knees and cried. He didn't blame her at all. He blamed himself for leaving her alone.

Taylor comforted him the best she could and took all the blame on herself.

Chapter ends...

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Me: Wipes away tears*...I hate myself.

Bardock: I knew it.

Kouga: You did?

Bardock: It's obvious isn't it? Kakarot and...uh...Raditz wouldn't be alive if she would have had that baby.

Me: Aren't you...sad?

Bardock: Yeah. But Kakarot and Raditz are still coming!

Me: Oh yeah huh!

Kouga: *face palm* It's your story! You should know these things!

Me: I can still express emotion.

Bardock: No one said ya couldn't.
