Chapter begins...
One year passed.
Taylor and Bardock were 25 years old.
Over the last few months, Taylor had been overcome with depression of her lost child. She isolated herself from everyone, including Bardock.
Bardock was also feeling very depressed about the loss of his child. He surrounded himself with missions and training.
Thought they were still very much in love, they need time away from each other in order to deal with the loss.
A few weeks had passed; Taylor overcame her depression and trained. Soon, she became so obsessed that she nearly lived in the gym in her building.
She had a dream that someone told her to train hard. To become stronger than anyone, though she already had strived for that before becoming pregnant. The strange person told her that she was to take no breaks, to keep training.
She must become a Super Saiyan.
And so Taylor once more strived to become what she once thought wasn't real. She trained day and night, not taking any breaks.
Taylor jumped away from the punching back and fell to her knees. She'd trained so hard, but she still felt it wasn't enough. How was she supposed to tell when she'd become a Super Saiyan?
She huffed and stood straight and ignored the pain and aches of her body.
That was when she heard footsteps.
She turned just in time to see that girl that always hung around her. Damn...what was her name?
"What do you want?" Taylor growled, turning back to the punching back.
"Oh, just to see if you are still alive..." the girl said. She leaned against the doorframe.
"Well, as you can see, I am very much..." she kicked the punching bag. "...alive."
"Apparently." The girl said. Taylor was becoming very annoyed with her. Not surprising.
"I asked you what you wanted; you told me, now leave."
"Well, there was another reason too. Orders from the King himself."
Taylor stopped mid-punch and turned. "King Vegeta?"
"Yep. He ordered all of the Saiyans to come and...I guess greet the Prince. I'm guessing he wants to show off his son and brag about how powerful he is..."
"Oh, no thanks. I have better things to do with my time."
"Oh come on!"
"No."
"But it's an order. I'll look bad if I come back without you."
"God damn it! I said no!"
"There's free food."
Taylor once again stopped mid-training. "Free...food?"
"Yep. But you have to hurry, almost the entire Saiyan race is there."
And before she knew it, Taylor had grabbed her by the arm and was racing to the castle.
"So, what's the kids' name?" She asked while running alongside the girl.
"Vegeta. No surprise there huh? Prince Vegeta..."
"Can't they come up with a different name? Are they that lazy?"
"Shush! We're almost there." They approached the castle and saw a line of Saiyans facing forward.
"Were here." The girl said. She stopped and got in line. Taylor however stood back with an amused, slightly annoyed look on her face. She refused to stand in line.
"Come on Taylor! You have to get in line!" The girl said.
Taylor snorted and crossed her arms, not moving her feet. "Over my dead body..."
The girl shook her head and looked down the line. King Vegeta was making his way towards them while standing behind a maid/nurse. She said carrying the prince.
Taylor looked at the other Saiyans in line and found Bardock standing next to Tora, Fasha and the new members of his team, Shugesh and Borgos.
King Vegeta was approaching Taylor unmoving form. She stood about ten feet away from the line with her arms crossed and a very bored and annoyed look on her face.
"Hello Taylor." King Vegeta said and slightly bowed as he reached her.
"King Vegeta." She said in a mocking tone.
"Nice to see you finally outside."
"It's none of your god damn business whether I'm in or outside."
"Of course..." The King shrugged. Taylor could hear the low laughter from the crowd of Saiyans. She also noticed Bardock's sigh.
The King gestured to Taylor and the maid/nurse showed her the tiny baby boy.
He had similar feature to his father. His hair was the same, but smaller and black, and his eyes seemed darker.
The next thing she knew, she saw a grown man facing her. His arms crossed over his chest. He was wearing dark blue spandex suit that very much resembled Saiyan under armor. He had white gloves, white boot, black hair that stood on ends and made up for his very short appearance. He said yelling something about a Gravity Room...
Then Taylor came back to reality.
She quickly regrouped her thoughts. "Cute kid. Welcome to planet Vegeta...Prince Vegeta."
The king nodded and went on his way. Taylor began to think about what she'd just saw.
What was a Gravity Room? Who was that annoying man and why did he resemble the king?
She pondered this for a while until King Vegeta excused everyone.
Before the annoying girl, whatever her name was, began to speak again,
Taylor quickly got herself lost in the crowd.
Right when she thought she was home free, she was stopped by Fasha's voice calling her.
She slowly turned around to see Bardock and his team, including that girl walking towards her.
"Ya caught me..." Taylor grimaced.
"Well, I've been trying to get a hold of your for the passed few days, but I could never find you." Bardock said.
"I've been hiding." Taylor said with sarcasm.
"Probably. Anyways, what do you think about coming over to my place after you finish training?"
"Sounds like a plan I guess."
"So, when do you think King Vegeta will put the prince to work?" Borgos asked.
"A few years give or take..." Taylor answered.
"The kid was just born yesterday." Fasha laughed.
"GIVE then. I don't know."
"What do you think Eva?" Borgos asked the girl. That's it! Her name was Eva! After all these years...
Taylor could see in the expressions on everyone, except Borgos, that everyone else was somewhat relieved. Guess they forgot it too...
"I don't know...I agree with Taylor I guess."
"Yeah, me too. I'll see ya guys later." Taylor said quickly, backing up.
"But you'll come over tonight, right?" Bardock asked.
"Yeah. I'll see you then. Bye!" Taylor said. She turned and ran off, back to the gym.
She quickly slammed the doors of the Gym once she got inside. Suddenly, she had the desire to train harder and faster.
She shouldn't have taken that break. She shouldn't have spoken to Bardock or ever agreed to see him.
The pain in her heart started again.
The agony and loss of her child. The loss of her dear father starting making it back as well.
She had a chance to say goodbye to her father, but not her mother nor her child.
Her life had been filled with the loss of others, pain, and heartache.
She hated this planet. She hated it and all of it's inhabitants. Who were they to live their wonderful, joy-filled life around her while she was living in pain? Partially a disgrace for having lost her child, she was humiliated by such a weakness.
A child...HA! Her? Taylor? No way. She could never see herself as a mother now that she thought about it.
She was a killer, a cold-blooded Warrior that killed mercilessly. She enjoyed it...well, perhaps only because she felt...somewhat even with the world, when she did so.
She made them suffer because she had too. Was that fair? Of course it wasn't, but who gives a damn?
She was very much alike, and different from other Saiyans. She was selfish, arrogant, hardheaded, and stubborn, she loved fighting, she ate like a pig and she was cold hearted.
But how she differed, was she could be kind and gentle, soft, thoughtful, loving, passionate, strong willed, and she thought things through and she actually had table manners. Her father had thought her table manners and to be kind.
Another difference? She hated planet Vegeta was one. She also got pleasure in killing others, Saiyan or not. She WAS a cold-hearted, cold blooded, remorseless, merciless killer that liked murdering people.
But only one person in the entire universe could take that away, could make her so soft and gentle she couldn't hurt a fly.
That was Bardock.
He made her heart pound unevenly; her knees weak, her palms sweaty and he made her very nervous.
But seeing him made her very sad. She'd lost their child, and she was all to blame for making him depressed. She'd hurt the only one she had left. In addition, she was surprised he still wanted her.
Or...
Was the reason he wants to see her to break up? Did he not love her anymore?
Taylor stopped her training and sat down on the floor and thought of herself as a worry wart. She didn't have anything to worry about.
Soon she left for Bardock's and from his persuasion, never entered the gym again
Chapter ends...
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
