Chapter 16
Unexpected bonds
After a few months passed by the newly married couple was drawn to each other. Every single second they had they were all over each other and everywhere in the palace. Only getting caught now and then. Bulma is now running the entire world and making decisions on what to do so Vegeta could only focus on training. When she could get free she would work on a gravity training room just for Vegeta. He was so amped up by the idea that she could create such a thing.
Topi was back to her old self so it was a great help for Bulma. The two worked on the training room and new armor and having Raditz to be their test dumb.
Raditz had felt a slight distance from his baby brother. He didn't push the issue but he made sure he checked on him whenever he could.
Goku mind was heavy on what Chi-Chi had suggested but the matter of facing him was something beyond him. It only pushed him to train more than normal.
Raditcal on the other hand had been doing a lot of self training increasing his power even higher. Vegeta would ask for him to spare with him and surprisingly he kept up with Vegeta's super saiyan form. It was a great fight which almost lead to Raditcal to transforming but he failed at it.
Rose spent more time with Bulma then usually even more than Raditcal! The two became extremely close and almost inseparable.
Rose had the day free so she went to the lab and found Bulma working on the training room.
"So when are you going to tell him?"
Bulma shot up in fear bumping her head. Once she saw it was only Rose she frown at her.
"I'll tell him soon but right now I have to finish this or he'll never let me back on my feet again. So don't open your mouth. You either Topi!"
Topi floated down upside down laughing.
"How did you know I was here?"
"You're always here Topi."
Everyone laughed at Topi. Topi moved Bulma's hands from her work and waved her finger at her.
"I believe it's your time to go back to the palace my queen. We don't want to over do it while your in this condition."
Bulma frown at Topi and Rose nod in agreement.
"Topi is right Bulma we should be going now. You got everything under control Topi?"
Topi nod and Bulma unwillingly leaves with Rose.
Rose took Bulma back in their personal hover car. They walked towards the throne room once they made it to the palace, till they ran into Vegeta. Of course he was taking a break from his endless training with Raditcal limping behind him. Both men were shirtless and their tights was ripped from their battles. Both women bit their lips from the sight of their men shirtless and sweaty with a few scuffs and cuts. Unfortunately Raditcal and Rose couldn't act on their love in public as Bulma and Vegeta could. Rose looked at Bulma and they both smirked at each other.
"Oh God, not again Rose! Please I'm in too bad of shape to do this!"
Raditcal hurry to back away waving his hands in front of him. Rose skipped towards him as he tries to get away.
"Come on Raditcal it's not that bad. I just want to train with you a little bit that's all!"
Bulma giggled at the two couple as they ran off. Vegeta sneaked behind Bulma and pulled her close to him.
"I could use a bit of fun while I'm on break."
Bulma blushed slightly but smiled at his offer. Just before Bulma could respond a lady screamed out to them.
"My Queen! My King! Please must speak to you both at once! I have information on the enemy!"
Bulma and Vegeta looked at each other and pulled her into the throne room. The lady was short with wild black hair and pale skin with ebony eyes. You could tell she was a warrior with her scuffled armor and ripped up tights. But the odd thing about her was her holding a sleeping baby. She bow before them both before proceeding.
"My King and Queen, I have to rush this before the enemy finds out I came here. But the enemy, Cooler, was having a video call with a trader."
Vegeta watched her closely.
"Who is a trader and how did you stumble across this?"
The lady looked down at the baby in her arms and sighed before she started.
"You see my lord, I was nothing more than a slut at a club. I was only trying to make it through the day before I got pregnant by a warrior. I told him I was pregnant with his son and he denied us both and left on his mission with his father. So I left to find him. Needless to say I couldn't find him. I only wanted my son to be proud of something. So I went on my own and start to be a rebel with just me and my son. I found a familiar ally and figured I could seek help there. I went looking for the leader and accidentally walked into the room where Cooler was reporting in detail what happen back on planet Vegeta. I figured I should hide to find out more. Basically the two are working together and using all the information they both know of you two on how to take you both down. Where no one will dare question them. Cooler only doing this so he can gain full power over the entire universe that his brother had under his thumb. The trader is only doing this in revenge because of you, my king, for leaving her for our new queen."
"Victoria!?!"
Both screamed out together shocked at that she would go that far.
"But why Cooler? Did she already have him as a back up at the announcement?"
Vegeta thought about it for a moment but dismissed it.
"We'll discuss that later. So let me guess you got spotted now your on the run right?"
The lady nod slightly.
"Then I can only assume you want something in return, correct?"
The lady hesitated to answer Vegeta, but spoke up.
"I want nothing in the form of money, gems or title just a favor. It's a huge request but I desire nothing in this universe but one thing at this point. I don't need protection. That will only confirm that I told you everything and the enemy might change their plans. Plans Cooler already told you."
"Then speak your favor and we just might fulfill it."
"In that case my King, I do not fear death. But my son shouldn't die for my decision. I can hope and beg of you to keep my son. I will be tortured and even killed. But I can face that without hesitation if my son is safe. Please my King and Queen save my son?"
Vegeta laughed and stood up to look down at the kneeling mother lifting her child out with her head down.
"You expect us to keep your child when we haven't had our own? No take your son with you. Or drop him at someone's door but he will not be dropped off here. I appreciate you useful information but perhaps you should go on your way now."
Bulma yelled at him and got up staring at him with disbelief.
"How can you do such a thing? She's risking her life for our people and this is how you repay her?"
"Bulma if we do this everyone's going to think they can turn this palace into a daycare! I won't allow it!"
Vegeta stormed out of the throne room leaving the two women behind. Bulma sighed and kneel before the woman who was now crying. Once she felt her son being removed from her hands she looks up to see Bulma with such a comforting look on her face.
"Don't you worry. He will be safe here with us. So can you stay if you allow us to help you?"
The woman smiled through her tears.
"My Queen-"
"Call me Bulma."
"Bulma? Thank you so much but I have no true purpose here anymore. I'm actually looking forward to my own death now. I'm thankful to have a queen like you Bulma. You'll be a better mother to him then I could ever dream of."
Bulma was fighting her tears. She could not even imagine how hard it is for a woman who had nothing but a tiny bundle of life to cling too, and now she has to give up her one only purpose of life to a stranger. The woman stood up and slowly backed away knowing it was time to leave.
"Wait! What's his name?"
She shrugged and smiled at Bulma.
"What do you think he should be called?"
Bulma was shocked that she would let her name him. But she had no idea what to name him. Let alone how to win Vegeta over to keep this child. But once she looked at the baby's face she fell in love with him right away. Bulma smiled and said the first thing that came to her head.
"Noxic."
Noxic mother smiled and nodded her head.
"I love it. Just promise me one thing please? Don't tell him anything about me or his father. Allow him to believe he was actually born into this family. I don't want him having any chance of messing his own life up thanks to me or his father."
Bulma wanted to protest on that but only nod knowing she had no time to talk any longer. She took one last look at her son before running out of the throne room.
Bulma pace back and forward mixed with emotions. She knew she had to save this baby. It was something about him that told her he was different. That he needed this family. She hurry to hers and Vegeta's bedroom and put Noxic in their bed surrounded by their pillows.
"I thought I told you no."
Bulma turn around to face Vegeta.
"How can we turn our backs on her? She just gave up her life for us to know who's against us and you can't so much do her this one favor?"
"How can I raise someone else's child that I don't have none of my own!"
"Vegeta?"
"No let's be truthful Bulma. I should have killed that little brat of your clown friend Kakarot!"
"Vegeta?"
"But no I allow the thing to live just so you could be happy! I don't know why but I did!"
"Vegeta."
"Until I have a child of my own with my blood coursing through its veins, I won't allow another child to live or take care of anyone else's child till you are pregnant!"
"Vegeta!"
"What!"
"I'm pregnant!"
They both stood there in silence. Neither taking their eyes off each other. Bulma eventually removed her top to expose her swollen belly. Vegeta fell to his knees and reached out with shaky hands to touch her stomach. He could feel his child strong and healthy inside her.
"How? I been around you all this time and not once I saw this."
Bulma felt guilty for hiding her pregnancy from him but she felt it was for the best.
"Topi had made a new type of shirt and it felt great but it was to keep from any spies from knowing about me being pregnant and to keep you from over reacting.
Vegeta glanced up at her.
"How long?"
Bulma shift uncomfortably a bit.
"5 months..."
Vegeta winced in anger and pain but didn't know how to feel.
"I'm too excited and happy about this child of mine I can't really be fully upset with you. But just know I'm very upset with you. But in the meantime. We gotta get you off your feet."
Before Bulma could even get a word out, Vegeta swept her off her feet and kisses her to silence her. He softly lay her on the bed next to Noxic before having a guard to find Raditcal. He removed her belly cover shirt and destroyed it. Bulma shot him a very angry look but said nothing. Vegeta didn't show any emotions letting her know he was very upset with her for hiding her pregnancy.
"Why are you calling for Raditcal? Goku would be more available."
Vegeta stood at the foot of the bed and watched her closely but mostly at his child. Admiring the moment and taking in the reality of him really being a father.
"I don't care about that. Your punishment is bed rest and Rose will be punished by not being able to see Raditcal and I'm sending Tarble to earth to destroy the astros that are heading towards earth."
Bulma frowned at him.
"Why? They had nothing to do with this! It was all me!"
"You, Rose and Topi all hide my own child from me so you all will suffer! Nothing is more important than my child."
Bulma saw the anger in his eyes as he turned his back on her. But Bulma refuse to give up on her freedom.
"I can't just sit here Vegeta! Noxic needs me too."
Vegeta froze in his steps but said nothing. The tension started building in the room slowly but very thick like.
"That's what you named it eh? Well don't worry I'll take good care of him."
Bulma watched Vegeta as he turned on his heels and walked back towards the bed. Noxic started to sniffle the closer Vegeta gotten too him. Just as he reached down to grip the baby Bulma gripped his hand.
"Regardless of what you may think, this is your son too. If you harm him you harm me. But I promise you this, you will live the rest of your life regretting the day you touch this child."
Vegeta locked eyes with Bulma and for the first time since he met her he saw nothing in her eyes. It was nerve wracking to see the eye's that once similar to be a beautiful ocean that had stolen his heart, now similar to an angry sea that wasn't taking any prisoners.
"Don't ever threaten me woman. That thing is staying with me till you give birth."
He scooped the baby up and waited for Raditcal to show up. When he walked in he bowed before the new King.
"Raditcal I want you in this room at all times with Bulma till she gives birth. The only time your allowed to leave this room is when I come in to sleep. Understand?"
Raditcal was confused to what was going on but obey his King's order.
"Yes my King as you wish."
Vegeta left the two in the room alone as he keep Noxic close in his arms. Noxic wasn't as happy with Vegeta as he was with Bulma but he didn't cry.
Raditcal stood up and looked at the obviously pissed off pregnant Bulma.
"So uh...your pregnant?"
Bulma didn't answer. Raditcal swallowed hard and got on his knees next to the bed.
"...May I?"
Bulma raised an eyebrow at him but realized he wanted to touch her belly. She nods and with the most care Raditcal barely touched her belly and felt the baby power slowly exposing. Raditcal gasped and fell back with shock.
"Oh my. That's a very powerful baby. Now I fear you may not survive such a birth my queen! Please tell me your not thinking about going through with this."
Bulma softly hugged her belly and cried to herself.
Raditcal panic and jumped to his feet with wide eyes.
"Oh no! I knew I shouldn't have touched your belly! I'll get the medic!"
Before he could turn around Bulma grabbed his hand softly. Instantly he stopped and looked down at her.
"It's not they baby Raditcal. I'm just hurt the man I fell in love with showed me something I was blind to see."
Raditcal was confused and got on his knees once more beside Bulma's bed to listen too her.
"I'm afraid I don't follow."
"Vegeta was willing to let a woman in need, that risk everything just to tell us information that was useful too us too die. All she asked in return was to keep her son safe. Vegeta laughed and told her to leave with her child. I thought that Vegeta had long left him by now. But I see, the ruthlessness of his nature can not be undone. I can only pray that this child will not have such darkness within them."
Raditcal understood Bulma and made him think about himself.
"Bulma you must understand, being the new King means you have to show no emotions. It's not that he didn't want to help the woman but he had to think save her son or lose order in my kingdom. If you helped her and others knew of it, you'll be flooded by a mob asking favors since they did something without you asking them. He had to make the decision no one wants to make. That's the price of a King. Wrong is right to show dominance. Right is right and wrong is wrong to create chaos."
Bulma thought on what Raditcal said with a sigh and looked down at her belly.
"I'm sorry you got dragged into this."
"What exactly happen for this to take effect?"
Bulma explain everything to him.
"Oh I see now. Well to be honest I could really use the break from those two."
He chuckled which made Bulma smiled.
"Raditcal?"
"Yes my Queen?"
"I'm glad Raditz kidnapped me and brought me here."
Raditcal raised an eyebrow.
"That's an unexpected statement."
"Maybe so. But I think back at how boring life was going to be back home. Hell i would probably still be with that cheating ex of mines. Forgive him after every time he cheats. Have you ever felt that way?"
Raditcal stay quiet for awhile. He never answered so Bulma decided to get some rest.
On the other side of the palace Vegeta stormed in Rose room with the baby still tucked in his arms. Thankfully Rose was able to close her robe tightly around her before Vegeta could see her naked.
"Damn it Vegeta! Don't you have any regards of someone's privacy!!!"
"Privacy!?! How dare you speak of privacy? I am your brother! How could you hide my own child's existence from me?"
Rose froze but didn't tense up. She gave a confused look at him but inside she was cursing herself out.
"Don't act dumb with me! I know all about it! That's why I'm punishing you all. You will not be allowed to see Raditcal till my child is born. Bulma is not allowed to leave our room until our child is born oh and Topi her beloved Tarble is out in space fighting large rocks aimed at earth. Along with your punishment I leave you this child. Keep him safe till my child is born."
Rose gasped as Vegeta placed the young fragile baby in her arms.
"Are you insane! I'm not a mother I can't take care of it!"
"What makes you think I can!?! I'm a King now and that means no time to carry a baby around."
"Get over yourself Vegeta! You took this kid so you deal with it!"
Rose carefully placed the baby back in Vegeta arms but seem to be stuck to the child. They both looked down to see the baby trying to feed off of one of Rose plump breasts. Both siblings turn blue in the face as Rose tries to pull the baby away from her nipple. Vegeta held the baby under the armpits as he starts throwing up on the floor.
"NOT ON MY FLOOR YOU IDIOT!!!"
"JUST GET THE DAMN KID!!"
Rose had no choice but to grab the baby as Vegeta ran away to force the image of his sister's breast being exposed before him.
"Damn that woman! If she didn't take that kid in I wouldn't be in this position!"
Vegeta went back to his training trying his best to forget everything.
Rose on the other hand sat on the bed with this now hungry baby in her arms wanting to feed from her breast.
"Look kid I have no milk to give you. Nor do I have what it takes to be a mother to you."
A sudden sadness creeped into Rose's heart. It was her dream to start a family with Raditcal but her father made sure that couldn't happen. Not only that she feared she couldn't be the same gifted mother her mother was to her. Noxic looked up at Rose seeing her tear up and he desperately try reaching her face. Rose notice the baby trying to reach her so she lift the baby closer so he could touched her face and start laughing. This confused Rose on how this pleased the baby but it made her smile.
"I guess it doesn't hurt to try eh? Well you be a good baby and stay on this bed while I go grab so fresh milk for you."
Rose did just that and was able to feed the baby. Later she wash Noxic and learn he was a boy. She called him little monster. He likes the name since that was the only way he would listen to her.
2 months had past and Rose was so close to Noxic the two did nothing without each other. Rose never dare took Noxic out of her room. Not sure of anyone spying on them. Which Noxic didn't seem to mind it at all.
Vegeta had Topi to finish the gravity room by herself. She finished in a week and Vegeta pushed it to it's limits. During the morning Vegeta ruled over everyone and made sure all was well then train till the next day. He didn't sleep only ate on his breaks. He wouldn't let nothing stop him now. He had a family to protect and he refused to be like his father.
Bulma, on the other hand, was actually getting closer to Raditcal. The two started to open up a bit more every day. After 2 months past Raditcal finally opened up fully to Bulma.
"Well Raditcal, since we are on the subject, do you feel comfortable enough to tell me how you and Rose met?"
Raditcal hesitated for a moment and Bulma was about to change the subject but Raditcal stopped her. Both were silent before he began.
"I don't mind. After all we are family, right?"
Bulma gasped and her eyes began to water up as she hugged Raditcal. It shocks him since only Rose is the only person who shows any affection towards him. But he hugged her back anyways. Bulma pulled away and clear her tears as she prepared herself for this magical story.
"Well mines and Rose's first time meeting isn't the best memory we like to think of. You see at that time I had no reason to feel or care for anything. I killed my parents with no mercy and lived as one of Frieza's right hand men. One day he left me on his main base for a few months while he and the others travel off on bigger missions. I agree and once I got there I stayed to myself. 3 months had past and a guy ask me if I want to see something amazing. I had nothing better to do so I follow the guy. He lead me far under the base that was hidden in the walls. The length of the staircase was starting to annoy me but once we got there it was an amazing sight. Tons of warriors was roaming around like an underground city. In the center of it all was a naked woman beaten, tortured and raped by so many men. She lay curled up in a ball barely alive. I was stunned by her beauty and walk towards her. Once I saw her tail I knew I had to save her. I softly brushed my finger over her cheek for her to look up at me. I saw the pain and fear in her eyes. It destroyed my soul looking into them. Her left eye was scared and gray. They had to done something to her eye for her to go blind. Rage build inside me seeing the damage they not only done to her body but her spirit as well. A female warrior spirit is much stronger than a man's. So to see her's gone took me to a rage I couldn't control. Someone start yelling at me for not sharing her with them and I snapped. I killed everything that lived understand the base. Once I have done that she looked up at me with curious eyes. Blood stained my armor as she slowly approached me and hugged my neck. It was then that I fell in love with her. I lift her up and carried her to the surface into the docking area. I stripped to my boxers and gave her my clothing. I was ready to send her back here but she stopped me, just to tell me her name. She smiled and the pod flew away. I was so desperate to see her I volunteer to go off to complete missions just to see her again! 2 years have passed and no sight of Rose. I didn't give up hope but I was getting worried. Then suddenly all my missions was getting sabotaged! On this one mission I was all alone and someone try taking my food. I grabbed their arm and pinned it against their back against a tree. I yanked the hood back and found her."
"So did u two hugged and kissed it out?"
"I wished. But she had no idea who I was."
Bulma raised an eyebrow at him.
"Wait so you risked your life for her and you both got a good look at each other? How?"
Raditcal giggled as he scratches his head.
"Well back then my hair was as long as Raditz. But I cut it a year after I saved Rose. Trust it took a lot of convincing to prove who I was too her. But after we calm down, she told me she was a rebel she didn't want to do something because it was right for her at the moment. She wanted to do what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. I laughed at her but she ignored me and ask if I'll join her. I was shocked but I agree of course. We made a plan that we would stop Frieza together. I worked under him and inform her of all the stuff he was doing. But within that time we got mighty close and the unthinkable happened..."
"Unthinkable? What do you mean?"
~Past Memory~
The two lovers was in a cave where above them was an opening for them to see the night sky.
"Raditcal we are so close I can see it now. Frieza being taken down by us. That's a dream come true."
Raditcal smiled at her and kissed her for the first time. Rose was in shock but gave into the kiss. Raditcal couldn't resist her he got on top and hugged her body tight to his.
"We can stop if u want."
"Why? You think I'll be afraid don't you!"
Raditcal raised an eyebrow at her.
"No Rose I just don't want to force you into anything your not ready for."
Rose flip them around and pinned him to the ground.
"If I wasn't ready I wouldn't kissed you back now would I?"
Raditcal felt one of her hands slide down to his swollen member that made him blushed deeply.
"My my if I didn't know any better I'll say this is your first time."
"Actually...you are."
Rose gasped but smile warmly at him.
"...me too...willingly that is."
"Then let's make this special."
Raditcal softly brushed back the swoop over her left eye. Rose automatically hid her face now anger ay him.
"Why would you do that!"
Raditcal smiled at her and made her look at him.
"Because your so much more beautiful in your truth."
He leaned up and kissed her blind eye as she softly cried.
"Back home I'm consider a trader and a monster. I'm not proud of my past. But you give me a purpose to see, feel and live again. So this scare remind me how far we have come since then. Also reminds me what I shall never let happen to you again even after death."
They both was teary eyed as they look into each other's eyes.
"Rose I know we are both young still but I want you to be my mate. There's no doubt in my soul that your the one for me! I want you my love!"
The two teary eyed couple pill away each other armor as they hungry kiss one another. As the two mated Raditcal couldn't control himself letting Rose bare his warm stick seeds. But as he did so he bit her shoulder claiming her as her mate. Rose panted as she struggled to stay awake. Raditcal face went from pleasure to fear.
"Your the princess?! No no no Rose why would you let me do this to you! I can't lose you no not like this please no!!!"
Rose cupped Raditcal face.
"Listen it's fine don't you worry about that. My little brother is going to be the new king I'll just be a warrior on my own. My father will never know about our child. Just trust me."
~End of Past Memory~
"So you two had a baby?"
Raditcal sighed and looked away.
"She lost the baby before she could give birth. So we never tried again. We had our dream chance to kill Frieza a year later and failed. 2 years passed when her mother sent us on a meaningless mission the day she was murdered. She refused to return home after finding out her mother was killed. It wasn't long before King Vegeta reached out to her when she finally made peace with losing her mother."
Bulma softly gripped his arm.
"I'm really sorry about that. You two have been through so much together it's amazing."
Raditcal softly smiled and pat Bulma's leg
"Yeah, I guess we have. She's my everything and I wouldn't change it for nothing."
"You mind if I ask why you did what you did when you were younger?"
"My parentsâ .I was in the palace with the King when Frieza showed up. The king didn't have a gift for him so he offer up Raditz as a guard. Me being me, I interfere and gave myself up just so Raditz wouldn't be harmed. The king told Frieza I was even better and I'll do anything he asked of me. The king told him I was the oldest son of Bardock which means I was very strong. My parents always said protect my brothers no matter the cost. Frieza had me to lead him to my home. I did so and he ordered me to kill my parents or he'll blow up the planet with us all in it... That's why. I had to save my brother and I pay for it. He knows nothing of the truth nor will he ever believe it... Not till it's too late that is."
