Chapter 55
"Welcome back, Brother"
The others behind the pair let out a sigh of relief when the hostile energies vanished while Goku smiled. He was glad that she found her brother and that he listened to her. She was like an off switch to the male while Raditz never wanted to listen to him at all. In the end they both died.
"Tch, if you're done with this family reunion, then we need to get off this stupid rock." Vegeta growled interrupting the twins and Ozora glanced at the male with a blank expression. "Did you forget about the comet, woman?" Vegeta asked before she chuckled at him.
"So we're back to 'woman' now? I liked it when you called me by my name" Ozora said and Vegeta's eyes widened. A small blush covered his cheeks and he looked away while grumbling something incoherent underneath his breath.
"Ozora! I'm so glad you're okay!" Gohan exclaimed and attacked the female Saiyan in a hug. She smiled and ruffled his hair. She saw Trunks and Krillen smile at her as well and despite knowing they needed to retreat, she smiled back at them.
She gasped when she felt a sharp pain explode from her abdomen and she fell to her knees while clutching her belly. "Ozora! What's wrong?! Hey!" Goku was immediately by her side to Brolly's distaste but he didn't say anything.
"H-Hey, woman, don't tell me..." Vegeta trailed off with a pale face and Ozora's eyes widened. No, please no. She couldn't lose her children! If she lost them then that would mean that Michio and Chiku wouldn't exist in the future.
Brolly frowned and put his hand on her belly before it started to glow a golden color. A warm sensation washed through Ozora's body and her eyes widened. The pain slowly started to reside and the ki's within her body started to stabilize.
"H-How did you...? How did you know that I was...?" Ozora asked and Brolly smiled at her. I've known from the beginning. Brolly said and Ozora stared at him in shock. He knew all along? That would mean that he never told Paragus because the male didn't know.
"Hey! What the hell are you all doing?! There's a comet approaching!" Everyone's eyes shot towards Vegeta as he pulled out a device and Ozora chuckled. That was Raiden's voice for sure. Only he would yell so obnoxiously loud.
"Raiden! Prepare the ship for a bunch of people! You need to take the slaves as well!" Ozora ordered as Vegeta handed her the device and Raiden grunted at the other side of the device. He was quiet for a few moments before he replied again.
"They're already on their own ship on their way to our home base. They should be safe there. I'm transporting you guys here now so hold on." Raiden said and everyone's brows furrowed except Ozora who smiled.
"Wait! How can he transport us?! It'll take too long!" Trunks pointed out but caught Ozora's mischievous look. She held up one finger before a bright light shone down on them and everyone's eyes widened. In a flash, they appeared in a ship and everyone was confused.
What just happened?
"Hey, don't just lay there, idiots! Get your lazy asses up! We're leaving this planet and arrive at Earth in a few hours. I want you all sparkling clean when we arrive. You can go change in the rooms down the hall" Raiden ordered and Ozora chuckled before she closed her eyes.
"Aye, sir"
Ozora sat on her bed inside the spaceship while staring out into space through a small porthole. It was beautiful and nostalgic at the same time. It had been a while since she traveled by spaceship and she found that she missed the missions a lot.
Brolly lay on his own bed in her room and seemed to be sound asleep. He didn't make a disturbing sound and the only think she could hear was his even breathing. It brought a small smile on her face and her hand rested on her growing belly.
She owed him. He saved her children's lives by stabilizing their ki's with his own and prevented them from dying. She was still angry at herself, though. She put her children in danger by going off on her own mission and got herself into trouble.
She silently promised herself that she wasn't going to do anything stupid again until they were born. She wouldn't risk their lives again. She lay her head against the cool metal of the wall and let out a sigh. At least now, the fighting was over...
"Um, Hi, can I come in?" Ozora glanced towards the door to see Goku standing there and she smiled slightly before nodding. He entered but froze when he saw Brolly asleep on one of the beds. Ozora shook her head at Goku and he let out a sigh. Brolly really was sleeping then.
"How are your injuries, Kakkarot?" Ozora asked and Goku blinked a few times before he grinned. "I'm all healed up thanks to one of those regeneration tanks. The others are up and running too" He replied an Ozora grunted before she looked out into space once again.
"Ozora...um... Listen... I'm really sorry" Goku said as his face fell into a guilty expression. Ozora glanced back at him and let her smile return. "I know what I did was wrong and kind of selfish. I didn't mean to hurt you"
"Kakkarot"
"I should've considered what would happen if I died afterwards and I didn't. But if I hadn't done what I did then you all would've died and I wouldn't want that. I love you all dearly and I wouldn't want any of you to die when I stand a chance to save you." Goku said and Ozora's brow twitched.
"Hey, Kakkarot"
"Still, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was so stupid not to sense that you were pregnant. I regret that I didn't notice sooner. Maybe then you wouldn't have gotten so hurt during the games and-""Damn it, Kakkarot! Could you please shut up for a bit?!" Ozora snapped and Goku cowered slightly.
Ozora glanced at Brolly who twitched slightly before he continued to sleep before she let out a sigh. She looked back at Goku and crossed her arms over her chest. "I appreciate you apologizing for everything but one apology is enough" Ozora said and Goku stared at her blankly.
"I forgive you, and I also want to apologize. I acted inappropriately and I was angry. I said things that I regret and I did things that were immature of me. It was my own mistake not to tell you that I bear your children." Ozora said but Goku shook his head.
"Nah, I understand why you did it. You don't have to apologize. I just don't want us to be angry at each other anymore" Goku said and Ozora gave him a soft facial expression. "Me neither, Kakkarot. After all, I hate to stay mad at you" She said and Goku grinned innocently.
"Same here!"
A comfortable silence started to form around them and soon it lingered around in the room. Goku went to sit down on Ozora's bed while she stared out of the window. She felt like an incredible weight was finally lifted from her shoulders.
"So... You have a little Michio growing inside of you?" Goku asked sheepishly and Ozora chuckled at the male. Goku yelped when his hand was suddenly grabbed and it was gently put onto Ozora's belly. His eyes widened when he felt two distinctive ki's and looked back up at Ozora.
"And his little sister as well. Don't count her out just yet" Ozora said and Goku's eyes widened a bit more in absolute shock. They were having twins?! Goku suddenly cheered and Ozora's eyes widened when he suddenly embraced her.
"K-Kakkarot. C-Calm down! Y-You'll wake up Brolly!" Ozora silently scolded the male but he grinned at her. "H-Hey, listen to-" Ozora was cut off when his lips softly pressed against hers. His arm snaked around her neck and he gently pulled her keeper into the kiss.
Ozora closed her eyes and put her arms around his neck as she pulled him closer. Tears formed in the corner of her eyes and Goku's eyes widened. He was about to ask what he did wrong but Ozora broke the kiss before she lay down her head onto his chest.
"It's over..."
He didn't need to know what she meant by those words but he could feel her relax against him as her tears fell. He could feel that something heavy was lifted from her shoulders and she was finally free of what held her captive.
Her powers.
Her imprisonment.
Her past.
"Hey, it's okay. When we get back to Earth we can finally live together as a family but I doubt that our little house is big enough for three newcomers" Goku said and Ozora laughed lightly as she wiped her tears.
"Then I'll have to design a few rooms for our new guests." Ozora said and Goku snickered at the female. He knew that she would do something like that. After all, that's just the kind of person who Ozora is. The one, who designs, rebuilds and constructs anything she finds broken.
"Kakkarot, do you think that you and my Brother can find a way to get along with each other?" Ozora asked and Goku glance down at Ozora with a smile. He knew that they won't be able to make amends, not that he knew what he did wrong, but to get along he could do.
"Of course! He's your brother so I don't really have a choice." Goku said and Ozora playfully hit him on his chest. "Okay, okay. I promise that we'll find a way to get along" He finally said and Ozora nodded. He would get along with Brolly for Ozora's sake.
"But for now, how about we get some rest? It's still a few hours before we arrive back at Earth" Goku said and Ozora nodded. Goku lay down on the bed and Ozora lay her head onto his chest before she closed her eyes.
Goku put his hand around her and pulled her closer. He gave her a kiss on her forehead and Ozora smiled. Ozora listened to the calm beat of Goku's heart and soon fell asleep to the rhythm while the Saiyan male was out in no time.
Brolly, who seemed to be out, let a small smile come onto his lips but kept his eyes closed. He didn't know if he'd ever come over the hatred he has for Goku but for Ozora's sake, he would get along with the male. Even if it was for now.
Vegeta huffed as he stood outside of the room, his arms crossed over his chest and a smirk plastered on his lips. It's about darn time, Woman. He thought before he turned to leave. "Vegeta!" Gohan called as he neared the Saiyan Prince and he turned around to look at the youngster.
"Do you know where my Dad is? Raiden wanted me to ask him how early he wanted to arrive back home" Gohan asked and Vegeta chuckled while closing his eyes. Gohan cocked his head to the side and looked confused at the Saiyan.
"You can tell him he can take it nice and slow to Earth. Kakkarot's not in a hurry at all" Vegeta said and walked away. Gohan stared at Vegeta's back in absolute confusion while the Saiyan male shook his head at his own disapproval.
He was getting soft.
