When we've almost reached planet Vegeta, everyone starts getting nervous. Turles started stuffing his face with food, he said this might be his last few moments to live and he doesn't want to die on an empty stomach. Broly took a LONG shower to calm himself down, and so he at least looks decent when we arrive.

I put Kane down for a short nap, so when we get there he's wide awake and ready for whatever happens.

I'm sitting by Kane, who's laying down. He's almost three years old by now, and he's certainly growing like one. He tail is getting longer and fluffier, he's shedding- saiyans are born with this very thin layer of fur, and it takes some longer than others to lose it-, and he's starting to take after Vegeta in his facial expressions. "I hope they don't hurt you..." I run my fingers through his hair and smile a bit. "Not the way they hurt me..."

I still remember the day I was dragged away from everyone for my first slave owner. There's an age limit on how old you need to be to become a slave, and since I was so young my first time I didn't know anything about it.

"Everything's going to be okay." I look at Broly, who's just walked in. "Do I look better? Cleaner?" I smile.

"Of course."

"Good." Broly walks over next to me, and looks at Kane. "Don't worry about him... If he gets dragged off as a slave then you can't work as a slave. But I can, and so can Turles. And we'll watch him." That's another thing. If a slave has a child, no matter what age they are, the child gets sent into slavery and they get pushed out. I thought it was so the mother and father don't see what's happening to their child, but really it's just so there aren't riots over protecting people at the slave trades.

"Broly, I want to take Kane with me. I will fight to keep him with me even if it takes a life, I don't care. He's my son..."

"I understand, but if it's your life that's taken-"

"Don't talk like that!" Turles wander in, thrashing his tail around behind me. "Kakkarot's life will not be taken. Nobody's will. Got it?" Broly looks at the ground, and from Turles's yelling, Kane wakes up. Kane sits up and rubs his eyes then looks at everyone.

"Mom." Kane lays down again with his head in my lap. I hold his hand.

"Kane... I need to tell you a few things. You aren't going to like them." Kane can understand everything we say now, he even knows how to repeat a few of the words we say and can feel emotion to good or bad things. Kane sits back up. "Kane, we're going to be landing any day now. And we might not be able to be together anymore." Kane cocks his head to the side.

"No... More... Mom?" I shake my head.

"No. You'll still have a mother. But you and I might never see each other again. This means, we might be separated. You'll most likely be sent as a slave and I'll most likely be killed." Kane's eyes fill with tears and he hugs me.

"I don't wanna!" He begins crying into my chest. "Don't wanna be sent as a slave! Don't want you to most likely be killed!"

I hug him, and pull him onto my lap. "Kane, but you have something special about you." He looks up at me. "Your father-" He looks at Turles. "I mean your REAL father is the king to the planet we're landing on. If they prove that you're mine and his son, we'll both be together." Kane smiles.

"What about them?" Kane points at Turles and Broly.

"I already have that figured out." Turles crosses his arms. I set Kane on the bed again. "Now go back to bed, everything will be okay I promise you." Kane nods, and curls up. He wraps his tail around my hand.

"And what about us now eh Kakkarot?"

"If they prove I mated with Vegeta, then I become the-" I cough. "Queen of the planet and I can decide what happens to you two since Vegeta isn't on the planet." Turles smiles.

"You do have everything figured out." He leans down to me, and kisses me. I kiss back and smile a little. I don't think I mentioned this, but I sucked it up, and became Turles's mate. I had kept him waiting long enough, and there was no harm in doing it. I haven't regretted the choice since then. He hasn't tried forcing himself onto me anymore, and it just seems natural to me.

"Can you two save the romance for when nobody's in the room?" Broly make a gagging noise, and chuckles.

"Sorry Broly." I stand up, and stretch out my arms.

"Kakkarot, what if it doesn't work? Your plan I mean. What if they prove that Kane is Vegeta's son, but they find out about your mating to Turles. You could both be killed for that, and Kane would have nobody to take care of him."

"That's where you're wrong. They won't find out about my mating to Turles for a long time, and I'm planning on saving both of you from death and having you 'work' for me. Nobody dies, and we're all together."

"But when they find out." Broly grabs my arm, a sign he's scared. "When they find out, even if Vegeta's not being a proper king YOU aren't royalty at all anymore because of becoming his mate!" I pull my arm away.

"You're making me nervous Broly jeez. If you're that scared about it, why don't you forget I mated with Turles then? Just forget about the entire trip then, and about Turles wanting to be with me our entire lives." Broly blinks a few times then leaves the room. "Broly-" Turles puts a hand on my shoulder.

"Let him go... It's best we all just relax for a bit and stop talking about the what if's." I nod. Turles wraps his arms around me and kisses my cheek.

"Turles not now." I pull away from him and run out the room after Broly. "Broly!" He looks at me.

"Hey listen, I'm sorry. I just don't want to talk about the what if's right now okay? I'm scared too... About if it doesn't work." Broly nods.

"I understand. I shouldn't have been scaring you. Kane was probably still awake and I bet he's not throwing a party either. He's probably scared to death about losing the only family member he knows."

"Thanks for understanding." I run back into Kane's room, and go to Turles.
"Sorry about that... Guilt took me over." I kiss him. "I'm heading to bed. Care to join or do you want to check things around here tonight?"

"I'm coming." I kiss Kane's temple.

"Sleep well Kane." I leave the room, with Turles close behind. "Turles are you mad at me?" He shakes his head.

"No. You pushed me away before and you're upset now so I understand." I smile.

"Come on. Let's get some shut eye. We have only three day's left here."

A few days go by...

I wake up and roll over onto my stomach. Turles is still asleep next to me. I run my hand across his bare chest and move closer to him. "Turles. It's time to wake up."

"Hush..." He grumbles. "I got almost no sleep last night."

"Funny. I slept like a rock."

"You fell asleep before me." Turles looks at me. "You know when you're defenseless and someone touches the tip of your tail you moan?" I blush and smack his arm.

"Oh really? What else did you find out."

"You're secretly a screamer." I blush even more, climb out of the bed and leave the room with a blanket around me. "What?! No blanket for me!" I roll my eyes, and go to Kane's room.

"Wake up sleepy head." He rolls over and opens his eyes, then shuts them again. "What?"

"Bright."

"Yes the lights are bright..." I look at the lights and remember, today is our last day on the ship. "Kane we're landing soon. I want you to go eat something and then I'm going to bathe you. We want you to at least look decent for our landing on the planet." Kane nods, gets up, and runs out of the room. "I really hope everything goes according to plan..."
