The next chapter is now up! Enjoy :)

Danielle wasn't sure how long she was asleep before being startled awake by Maze's barking. She looked to the source of the barking and that's when she noticed Frieza. Maze was over by the bedroom window where the former emperor was hovering just outside. 'He was probably trying to get in through the window when Maze stopped him. ' She thought. Thea not liking the fact she was startled awake from the loud barking began to cry. Danielle picked her up first and started shushing her before going over to Maze and pulled her back by the collar and told her to be quiet. Danielle pointed to the dog bed in the corner of the room and told the canine to go lay down. The Dobie was reluctant at first, but eventually she made her way over and plopped herself down on the oversized dog pillow. Danielle then turned around and unlocked the window. She shifted Thea to one arm while pushing up the window slightly with the other. Danielle opened it only enough for him to put his hands underneath it and lift it the rest of the way. She backed away, giving him space to climb in. "Didn't expect to see you here so soon." He huffed, "Would've been here sooner if my staff wasn't so incompetent. I give it a week before they let my empire crumble." Danielle tried to hide her smirk, "How did you even manage it this long?" He snorts, "I'm still trying to figure that one out myself." She tried to hide her barely concealed smirk against the side of Thea's head. He gave her a soft smile and took the last few steps towards her, closing the distance between them. But it disappeared when he noticed dark circles under her eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I only merely meant to tap on the window so you could let me in. But unfortunately that beast of your just had to make a ruckus." Danielle smiled and shifted her gaze over to Maze, who was still sitting on her dog bed. She gave her owner an innocent look while wagging her tail. Danielle chuckled, "Yeah, but you have to admit. She does make for a good guard dog. And she adores Thea. For the longest time, Maze always made me feel safe while I was on my own." Frieza brushes a stray piece of hair over her shoulder. "You and Thea will always be safe with me. I'll never let any harm come upon either of you." Her smiled widened. It was then Thea starting cooing and squirming a little in her mother's arms. And Frieza's attention shifted to the small infant.

Danielle rocked her slightly, but Thea was still getting more fidgety. "Danielle, may I please hold her?" He asked hesitantly, automatically assuming she wouldn't. But was relieved when she nodded. Danielle carefully placed the antsy baby in his waiting arms. He'd been waiting for this very moment since she was born. Frieza held her close and was finally able to really take in the child's appearance. Thea quit squirming and stared up at her father. It was as if his daughter was studying him just as much as he was her. She really did look like a mini version of Danielle in every way. Her eyes were the only trait that gave him away as her father. That and...a rather high energy signature for a baby. He could sense it, she may look human on the outside. But inside lying dormant was a strong hidden power. Power she could've only inherited from him. "Hello, My Darling." He said softly to his daughter. It was then Thea gave him a wide toothless smile. He smiled back and gently rubbed her cheek with the pad of his thumb. She reached up and wrapped her tiny fist around it. Thea's eyes never seem to leave his face. Danielle found the whole exchange cute and fascinating at the same time. One thought seem to run through her mind, 'Its almost like she knows he's her Daddy.' "I've never seen her take to someone else so quickly." She told him. He turned to Danielle, "Really? And here I was nervous I'd just make her cry." She smoothed the hair back on the baby's head. "No, she hardly ever cries. Except for when there is loud noises. That's why you heard her cry earlier on the ship when the alarms started blaring and before when Maze was barking. She especially doesn't like thunderstorms. It's hard to calm her down when it's really thundering out." He looks back down at the infant girl in his arms. "Sensitive ears, huh?" Thea makes a 'Gah' sound as if to answer her father back. Which makes him chuckle at her attempt of speech. "She's beautiful, Little Mouse."

Danielle caresses her little fist, it flexes at her touch. But stays wrapped around Frieza's thumb. "Yeah, she's my miracle baby. Still find it surprising at times that I'm actually a Mom. Especially when I thought it would never happen." He raised an eye ridge in question. She licked her lips, "The doctors told me a few years back they found something wrong with my uterus. They said it be very difficult for me to conceive children. That's why I was very shocked when I found out I was pregnant with her." She paused in her speech a moment and looked him in the eye. "How did you know?" He sighs, "Shortly after my defeat here and leaving you behind. On the ship, the head doctor told me of the test results they performed on you after you fainted. He said your results came back positive for pregnancy." He broke eye contact and looked away, "I sent a drone to earth to spy on you and monitor you throughout your pregnancy. It also picked up footage of you when you went to the hospital to give birth. It's they very first time I laid eyes upon her. I understand if your upset by the intrusion. But I had to be sure that you were alright and that you were fairing well." She put a hand on his shoulder, "The only thing I'm sorry about is that you couldn't be right there with me when she was born." He got a bitter look on his face. "You can thank those damn monkeys for that. Even if I arrived on earth at the time. They would've know I was here and fought with me, like they always do." Danielle shook her head, "Frieza, you have to take some responsibility for that. You didn't exactly leave here on a good note when you let me stay behind. Not to mention your ugly history with Goku and Vegeta." He clenched his jaw, then sighed in defeat. Because he knew she was right. He was the one at fault. And he was the one to blame for kidnapping Danielle and turning her life upside down like he did. Frieza met her gaze again, "I'm sorry, Danielle. For everything." Tears gathered at the corner of her eyes as she swallowed a lump in her throat. "Why? I'm not."

His eyes widened, "Your not?" He said in a flat disbelieving voice. She smiles, "It wasn't all too bad. In the end it got me a chance to know you, the real you. The Frieza standing before me right now. The one who gave up everything just to be with us." He cupped her cheek, "Because you and Thea are worth it. And because...I Love You." As soon as the words left his mouth she leaned in and sealed her lips over his. He reciprocated the kiss and deepened it. They only broke it when they had to pull away slightly to breathe. He rested his forehead against hers. "I love you too." She said between breaths. Thea didn't like that the attention was not on her anymore from either of her parents. So she decided to make some more sounds to gain their attention back. They chuckled and look down at the demanding child. "Don't worry, I have one for you too." He said and leaned down to lovingly kiss his daughter's forehead. Thea shoved her fist in her mouth and gave him another toothless grin. Danielle laughed again, "Looks like I have competition. Though I think she clearly won." Frieza shakes his head, "No, just lucky enough to have two beautiful girls to give attention to, instead of one." He says with a smirk. Before she could say anything, the timer on her phone went off. "What is that strange noise?" He asked. She went and turned it off. "It's just my two hour timer. It means it's time to feed her. You mind bringing her over?" Danielle asked as she lifted one side of her shirt up and pulled down her maternity bra. He nodded and walked over and gently set the infant in her arms as Danielle sat on the bed and leaned back against the headrest. She adjusted Thea in her grip and rested her head against her breast. The baby wasted no time in latching onto a nipple and suckled.

Frieza walked around to the other side of the bed and sat down on it next to Danielle. She shifted a little to lean on him and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "You were right." He said. She shifter her gaze from Thea to Frieza and gave him a questioning look about what he meant. "About what?" He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Displaying emotions is not an act of weakness. What I feel for you and Thea pushes me to grow stronger. I guess it's because I found something truly worth fighting for." Danielle smiles and kisses his cheek. "Yeah, guess I am a genius in that sense." She teased. He smiled and rolled his eyes, "Oh, I wouldn't go that far, My Little Mouse." "Hey," she says with a pout. Making him snicker. "Says the one with the incredibly thick head and an ego the size of Jupiter." Danielle mutters. "I don't have a thick head. And this ego you talk of is called pride, My Dear." He says with mock arrogance. "Right," she draws out in sarcasm. He sighs and looks straight ahead. "This is certainly going to be quite an adjustment. Good thing adaptation comes easy to me." She playfully nudges him, "Yeah, it's a good thing you have a pro here to show you the ropes when it comes to parenting." He chuckles, "Aren't I the lucky one." After a few more minutes, Thea pulls away content and full. Danielle hands her back to Frieza so she can fix her bra and pull her shirt back down. "Think you can handle your first task as a Dad and burp her?" He furrows his brow ridges in confusion. "Sorry, what does that entail again?" So Danielle walked him through it and instructed him to lean her against his shoulder and firmly rub her back until she burps. He did just that, applying the smallest amount of pressure possible, so as not to hurt her. After a moment he tried handing Thea back to Danielle, worried he may pat her back too hard and hurt her. "But she's so tiny and fragile. I'm afraid I may.." "It will be okay. I was afraid at first too. But I've seen you, your a fast learner. You'll catch on quickly. You won't hurt her, Frieza. Just try." She coaxed him.

He sighs and resumes patting her back with light but slightly firmer taps. He alternates between this and rubbing her back. Until he feels and hears the familiar rumble of a burp from the infant. "There, that's it. You got her to burp even quicker then I did the first few times. Sometimes I still have trouble with it. If you don't believe me, just ask Lord Beerus. I made the mistake of letting him hold her right after I fed her. But I didn't get to properly burp Thea. So when he held her out in front of him, she spat up her whole previous meal on him. It was like a scene from the exorcist. She projectile vomited all down his front. I must say, the look on his face was quite comical. Goku dropped to the ground laughing his ass off. And that's when Lord Beerus quickly gave her back to me and started calling her an evil little puke machine." Danielle finished with a slight laugh. Frieza got a good laugh out of it too. "It's a shame I missed it. Would've liked being there to witness that." She smirked, "Don't worry, with her I'm sure more hilarity will ensue in the near future." He snorts and looks down at Thea, who's eyes were bouncing back and forth between her parents chatter. "Your going to be trouble aren't you, Darling Thea?" She just looks up at her Daddy and giggles. This made both parents chuckle. "If she is anything like me in my youth, then we are in trouble. Got into quite a lot of mischief as a child. Practically drove my father and brother crazy." Danielle groaned, "And I was not much better. Guess we better be prepared then." Frieza opened his mouth to say something when he paused and scrunched up his nose. "By the gods, what is that acrid odor?" He says in disgust. Danielle smirks, "Congratulations, you finally get the honors of changing your first diaper." Frieza's eyes widened in horror, "No." He muttered. Her smirk widens, "Yes." Before he could hand the child back to her mother. Danielle quickly hopped off the bed and told Frieza to follow her. He groans and gets up to follow her. She lead him to the nursery and had him place Thea on the changing table. Danielle then fished a diaper, some wipes, and a tube of desitin out of the drawer underneath the table. She shows him how to undo the lower half of the onesie.

Once he finishes he told her she could take it from here while he waits in the bedroom. Before he could retreat, Danielle stops him and tells him to man up and change the diaper. Knowing there is no way out of this he slowly and reluctantly starts to peel off the diaper. When he does and it's pulled down, he was met with the atrocious sight of a completely brown and smelly diaper. Frieza coughs and his hands fly to his nose. "By the gods woman! What have you been feeding this child!?" Danielle began to laugh at his revulsion. "Well, Daddy. Start by wiping the excess off with the diaper before you pull it off her completely. Then use the wipes to wipe off the rest of the poop. Be sure to wipe from front to back, that's important. Then once you got her area cleaned, put this cream on down there so she doesn't get diaper rash. Lastly, put on the clean diaper." He followed her instructions and tried doing it with one hand while keeping the other plugged over his nose. It was slippery though and his fingers ended up slipping and he got some poop on the tip of two of his fingers. He shrieked, "Dammit! It's on my fingers! Quickly, get it off!" Danielle doubled over the end of the changing table laughing as his eyes bulged out of his head and he started to shake his fingers. "Stop!...Your going to...fling shit...everywhere!" She gasped between laughs. Danielle then grabbed his hand and used a clean wipe to wipe it off his fingers. "There, you big baby. Now finish up." She said wiping a tear from the corner of her eye from laughing so hard. Oh how she wish she could've recorded the whole scene on camera. Hey, there's always next time. So he went through the rest of the diaper changing process, grumbling the whole time through. Then he finished and put the onesie back into place. And told Frieza to chuck the dirty diaper into the waste bin at the other end of the table. To her amusement, he pulled out several more wipes and used them to pick up the soiled diaper and quickly dropped it in the bin. He let out a breath and turned to face Danielle. She was now holding Thea and gave him a shit eating grin. "Hey, your the one who said adaptation came easy to you." His mouth parts slightly then he smiles and shakes his head. "Adjustments indeed."

Hope everyone like the cute fluff overload. And of course, I couldn't resist adding in some humor near the end there. Soon we will see how well Frieza adjusts to this new life as a Father. And just as Danielle stated, 'More hilarity will ensue in the near future.' Until Next Time ;)
