Chapter 37 Changes

Freiza hates being alone, but yet, he was. It was a Friday night Vegeta was training (with Faith watching him) Brolly was playing with Dodoria step son Phoenix even Kezi's girlfriend was doing something, even though the kids were still here in the palace, he was very much alone.

There was only one person in his apartment…. Jessica she has been here two weeks, and all in all… well…

I loved her.

As my father constantly reminded me, I had no birth children on my own, apparently reincarnation does not count, to my father. I suddenly looked at the girls closed door, we barley spoke, I'd wake up she would be cleaning, (four kids in a house requires much cleaning) and when I got home she was cleaning. She walked around quietly barley speaking, she never complained, or if she did it was such a small complain I didn't register it, my Father said she is my slave, she must do what I ask.

Whatever, he seemed to emphasise this point he even said quite seriously 'tell her she can go to university only if she loves you,' it was primate thought really, the poor girl wasn't some fool, she was a beautiful well behaved girl.

I decide to watch a movie, since I had the TV to myself, as I watch it, I felt even lonelier I hoped the kids would be back soon. 'What happens when they move out,' I shiver at that thought,

"Jessica?" I yell, what in the hell was that? At once the girl came out of her cave, (she never turned the light on because she was fearful about the electricity she uses) "do you want to watch a movie?" She looked nervous, she was so scared and polite, but she nodded, she was as lonely as I was, so that's why she nodded.

The movie was a changeling action film, in which they transform and kill all evil (other than changelings) for the glory of the king, (who was superbly played by a famous veteran actor who was of course changeling.) "Lord Freiza" she was sitting next to me, I nod, and turn to her, her black hair was in a long plat today… I liked it. "May I ask a question?" I nod, softly, she knows she may ask me anything. "Sinze I have been here, I have ben fed clothed and not harmed an anyway, but what so you want with me?" I smile sadly, she was as unsure as I was. Her words were starting to become all mixed up and confused, I calmed down.

"I originally wanted you to act as a sort of Nanny to my children, you are a perfect person for the job, as you worked as a nanny in your planet, am I correct?" She nodded, I looked at her. "I am sorry if I am frightening you," I laugh she shook her head,

"No not as much as my old housemate use to." She stated very gravely, and then she shivered, I felt anger, I wish I could kill her former roommate, the girl worked hard to put herself through university, her Family had six children, its amazing that they even remember her name.. Anyway she worked hard to keep herself in school, I had the utmost respect for her for that. But all that struggle is over now, I will give her girl whatever she wants, I have nice clothes, nice things, I place my hand on hers, she didn't shiver or scream, she smiled back. You are too old, a little voice said, just see what happens another started up. So I questioned her about her old housemate, I knew he was a cruel man
"I am glad we had this time to talk," I say "as I have a problem?" she looked up confused. "We all must move from this place, I need to visit many planets to expand my business, and my problem is you Faith and Taylor." She nodded sadly, "Now a normal person would leave the three of you here, and leave you money for food clothes and university, next year." (She couldn't go this year as the school did not allow new students half way through the year.) "But I say, I am not normal, the girls will stay here, as my parents and soon Kezi will be, but I would like to give you a choice, to come with me, or stay." She was confused, "If you stay here you will be able to study, my family will take care of you, and you will not have to worry about money." She started to speak, but I put my hand up, "If you come with me, you will be unable to study at university, for at least a few years but you will not have to, as I will take care of you." This confused her. "I know you are confused," I laugh, "but take time to think it over." I then turn back to the movie,

"Lord Freiza" I heard a little while later, I hummed in reply, "Will I go to school the year after next if I go with you?" I almost bang my head against the door,

"No," I say, well actually… "Your university was in your own language right?" she nodded,

"Mainly yes."

"Well if you are going to do university here, it will have to be in my own language, the one we are speaking now." She bit her lip, "you can come with me for six months if you like and I will help you learn. Or you can go to school right away, up to you." I smile, I turned back to the movie,

"I come with you, if that is ok, school later." I could barely stop smiling. I nod, and look at her, "will I be nanny to your children?" I cough, I was a bit embarrassed now.

"Well no, as they are growing up quickly, but I am sure there is plenty of things you can do around here." I say, I then yell at myself for letting myself for letting my mind wander. The rest of the night was surprising nice, we sat up (the kids came home) ate, and I sent them all of to bed, and myself and my new arrival talked some more.

Dodoria's POV

I had never asked my wife Tori about her past… never, I love our three children Avalon is Daddy's little girl and Silver my son is simply so sweet, and of course Phoenix my step son, I love him so bad. But Tori treat her oldest son like something that ended up on the inside, of something she finds at the bottom of her shoe.

I was sitting helping Phoenix with his homework, a black bruise on his eye, Tori hit him last night, we fought about it. Phoenix wanted to watch a program on TV which I said he could watch previous but Silver who was allowed to watch the TV show leading up to that one decided he wanted to have the TV all day. The two boys fought, not with fists, just yelled and Tori walked in and hit Phoenix.

I tried to get ice on it, but Phoenix didn't want help, nor did he cry, just another piece of his soul left. I tried to include Phoenix in everything, but Tori said he doesn't deserve it. Half the time (and to be sure Phoenix wasn't the devil child I had cameras installed,) Phoenix would be sitting at the table and Tori my wife would yell at him, demoralise him, make him feel like nothing, I tried to tell Tori I didn't mind Phoenix, someone (maybe it was Zarbon) said she might fear I may divorce her, because of the burden of the child. Actually I care about him, and told her, I would love to adopt him, at this Tori completely lost it and actually blamed Phoenix for putting ideas in my head. So I did plan B, which use to be giving Phoenix extra attention… when no one was home of course, ice cream, and tell him stories rent out movies that Silver and Avalon are too young to understand worked great. Until, Tori (I videotaped it) said that Phoenix was taking up to much time and money, but if he was good and obeyed Phoenix would be able to stay.

After that (no matter how many times I said Phoenix wasn't going anywhere) Phoenix was withdrawn, scared, barley eating, the TV outburst was one of the few and only probably because he had to watch that program for school. Tori hit him regularly, even though I forbidden it (I didn't want to put constraints on her, but I loved Phoenix way too much.) it has gotten to the stage where Phoenix would sleep in the Ginyu force spare training room, and captain Ginyu has carried him home many times.

The rumours I was hitting Phoenix was spreading so fast, even Freiza had to get involved I had no choice but to show Freiza the videos he wanted me to get her help, which I have. But the help wasn't helping. I noticed Phoenix was in his corner… sadly even though Phoenix had plenty of spaces to choose from on the couch he sat in a corner I tried to keep away from his corner, it only panicked him, but Tori was already in bed, and Avalon and Silver were (lucky) captivated by a movie. I watched him sit in his corner curled up watching the TV the other children are watching the brand new TV I brought to keep the piece, it is in the children's playroom. "Did you have fun playing with Brolly?" I ask. Phoenix turned around as though looking for the person who I was talking to.

"Y-Yes sir, I did." I smiled he was talking to me. This was a rare occurrence, well not really, the boy DID speak, but it was 'yes sir' 'no sir' 'I don't know sir.' Great if he was talking to a general, absolutely horrible if he was talking to his Father.

"Your Mummy is asleep, and the children are going wide in the playroom lucky our bedroom is sound proof." I laugh, but all my son did was curl up closer in his corner. I couldn't talk to him anymore, at least now for fifteen minutes, let him calm down. Saying a few words must stress him out…

I sat on the couch, and watched TV, the boy barley moved. "Si-r" I was surprised he spoke, I turned,

"Yes Phoenix,"

"Do I really have to g-o" I was confused, "Mumma said if I don't go, you will get divorce" he said crying. I wanted nothing more to hold him tell him his Mother is a bitch, and don't pay attention, but I couldn't. I didn't like fighting with my wife, but I loved my little twelve year old too.

"Phoenix little one, I promise…" then I stop, Tori wasn't getting any better, Phoenix was so timid and scared, a child should be able to feel safe in their own home, Phoenix was being beaten by Tori despite my best efforts, I just can't be here 24/7. It didn't have to be a idoit want be ballerina I tell myself, "we will find you a nice home." He nodded now in tears. "Go and pack." I say controlling my emotions, he nodded and left.

I went to Tori, I didn't care she was tired I woke her up, whenever I am home, I would do all I could for the babies, so she could sleep, but right now... I was too hurt and upset to care, she looked mad at me interrupting her beauty sleep.

"You got what you wanted" I say as I change into clothes, (as I reclining in night clothes) "I've kicked Phoenix out," I say, she looked up as through confused, "we are going to children services now." I state, Yes Freiza does have a children services.

I walked slowly down the palace, Phoenix struggled with the bag, Tori looked not guilty… relieved, I didn't care, I just want her to get help. "it's not forever" I repeat, in my head "It's not forever." Freiza himself was waiting for us,
"Alright" he said looking at Phoenix trying not to scare him, "I and the social worker are ready." I nod and usher him in, Freiza grabbed me, "I'll find him the best," I nod, and thank him, but then I stood there, shocked… it wasn't forever… He didn't need the best…

Freiza led us to a small room, Phoenix was hugging his bag, 'you have thirty seconds' my small brain said, 'scream you want a divorce and take the kids, or even better let Freiza kill her, his looking pretty mad.' I shake my head, and hold Tori's hand, we will work on her issues, but I swear if she ever touches Silver or Av she's gone.

A tall prim woman stood, "Silver will be placed in a room until a family is found," surprising Freiza's planets had the highest rate of adoption success, and the children who were not placed with a family… had a better education and nicer clothes than some of the soldiers kids… maybe it's because when the soldier's die some of the kids are left orphaned…. Freiza nodded so did I, I watched my son, I am so sorry.

"Come child" the woman said, I said a quick goodbye, Tori nodded and my son left with the woman.

"Is their anyway he can come on the ship with us?" Freiza sighed,
"This isn't ideal for me either," he admitted, he looked at Tori in anger, "If you were not his wife, and he did not supress a desire to keep you alive, I would have killed you years ago." Without another word Freiza stomped off, I left with my wife soon after.

Phoenix POV

I sat crying in the room, until I heard a knock, the woman with a scary look came in, "You are very lucky" she said planely, and a tall man who was blury, proably because I was crying, he simply picked me up and walked out, of the scary bare room.

I said nothing my tail flickering sadly behind me, "Sir" I said softly, I was very upset. "Where are we going?"

"To my ship" he said crisp and clear, the man sounded educated, I had no idea who this man was, he wasn't a soldier he was too scary for that, he said nothing more.
"Sir I left my bag behind" I said suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
"Did you have a photo album or stuffed toys?" he asked,

"No sir clothes and a little money." I say, "Mumma took my toys off me" he kept walking, but I need clothes….

The ship rivalled lord Freiza's he walked up without so much as a word, after a life time he then placed me down in a room, I realised the man was tall and scary, I stared at him, scared. I then turn and my mouth drops I have never seen so many toys, there was even a train which was moving around and around. "Do you like it?" I turn shocked he laughed, "all yours" he went to a massive cupboard, and pulled out some PJS, "The bed is over there covered in …stuffed toys," I smile, but sure enough unless you noticed the bed spread all you could see was the stuffed toys sitting there. "I will bring you a snack." He said he turned to go.

"Wait sir, who are you?" he turned.

"The ship will be taking off soon…" just then I heard a motor as in the ship was taking off. "It's Cooler, I'm Freiza's Brother." I didn't know why, but I had the thought if I jump out the window right now… I will be ok.

Freiza's POV

"It was all done legally my lord, you brother came signed the paper work, left a generous donation and left." I glare. That woman,

"I wanted him to be okay," I say, "now Coolers got him, Cooler, what's next you gave him arsenic for dinner?" I yell, the woman said nothing, I shake my now thumping head… what else can go wrong?

Yey all done :) I plan to make lil Phoenix important, but if you don't like that idea leave a review…
