This is the way I see it folks. Vegeta is like a second father figure to Goten, even though he is not a father figure. I came to this conclusion when I was watching the Buu saga and he was just as sad to see Vegeta go as Trunks was. Therefore, in a way I think Goten pictures Vegeta another father, until Goku actually shows up! This might be a little bit Out of Character, cause this is the first time writing these characters. I changed this also and trying to fit the whole story together! Or at least most of it. R/R please!



The Only Father Figure...

Part 1

Vegeta could not believe he was left to take care of Kakkorot's little brat, Goten. Vegeta growled as he glanced down at this kid. He was not going to look after him. He glanced back up at Chi-Chi and Bulma.
"Absolutely not! I am not going to look after your little brat..." Bulma crossed her arms.
"Well unless you want to go camping with us?" Vegeta frowned.
"No" Bulma smirked as Chi-Chi placed a single hand on the brat's shoulders.
"He is too young to go camping yet and Gohan is off training with Piccolo. You won't have to deal with Trunks for he is off with my grand parents." Vegeta frowned some more.
"Why don't you dump him off with your grandfather too?" Bulma frowned as Goten, who is four, now hid behind Chi-Chi's leg. Vegeta let out a small smirk.
"You own me one, remember?" He glanced down at the brat again.
"I owe you nothing woman!" He snarled back. The least favorite thing he wanted to do was baby sit a child that was not even his.
"Really? How about I don't ever fix the training room ever again, I don't fix you dinner, or how about...Ó Chi-Chi cut her off before she went on, which caught Vegeta's attention a little bit.
"It is alight Bulma. I would want to do that. It is okay; you can go camping with the group. I will just take Goten back home." Bulma quickly placed a hand on her shoulder before she walked out. This was the first time since they actually saw Chi-Chi outside the house. He glanced at her for a minute before being dragged into the other room by Bulma.
"No, let me just have a quick word with Vegeta." He snarled as he was taken into a separate room. She pointed a steady finger in his face; he liked it when she was angry. At this point, however he did not want to take the brat!
"Vegeta you are going to take care of this kid for one week. You might not care about the kid, Chi-Chi, or Goku's family. I do. I have known them my whole life and Chi-Chi needs to get out and talk. That is why Goten needs to stay behind; he goes camping all the time. Vegeta raised a slight eyebrow and glanced quickly at the closed door into the family room.
"She seems just fine to me, besides why would I care about the well being of Kakkorot's family?" He saw Bulma frown with a slight hint of anger.
"On thing that has changed is the fact she is actually training Goten herself!" Vegeta raised his eyebrows.
"Your point is what? I have been training Trunks as soon as he was walking." Vegeta knew the answer to the question as Bulma just looked at him. Chi-Chi hated Goku when he had to train Gohan for the cell games and any other time Goku thought he should train. In fact, Chi-Chi barely understood the saying race at all.
"She needs to vent Vegeta and it hare to vent when Goten looks so much like Goku." For the first time Vegeta even saw a hint of sadness in Bulma's eyes.
"You are sad over him still?" Bulma just looked at him hard.
"He was and still is a very good friend! Known him my whole life and its hard to lose him. I could only image what Chi-Chi is enduring, please Vegeta." Vegeta liked it when she begged. He leaned over and kissed her softly on her lips. He pulled back, crossed his arms, and just frowned.
"Fine woman, I will watch the little brat. Vegeta did not believe he was agreeing to watch the brat for one whole week! This kid was not even his.
"Don't call him that the whole time, his name is GOTEN, not little brat." Vegeta sighed and just looked at Bulma.
"Humph." He crossed his arms, as long as he does not cry, annoy me, complain, or expect me to be a father figure. He will be just fine. He smirked as she smiled when he agreed.
"Thanks Vegeta! I will make it up to you." Vegeta growled taking her by the waist and whispering in her ear.
"Oh you will." He then quickly let her go as both of them walked back out into the family room. He leaned himself against the wall with his arms crossed once more. He glanced at Bulma who started to chat with Chici. Vegeta looked down and noticed Goten somewhat held on tightly to Chi-Chi's skirt. Kakkorot's kid was frightened of him. Bulma knelt down next to Goten and picked him up.
"Don't worry Goten, Vegeta is going to take care of you. Just remember to behave?" Goten nodded his head. Vegeta found it delightful that this brat was scared of him.
"You be good Goten." Goten smiled Kakkorot's smile.
"I will mama!" They left in a span of twenty minutes later. He glanced down at the brat who just looked up at him. Vegeta not caring what the kid really did, he just walked by him. He did not even say a word.
"D..Vegeta." He stopped, knowing Goten almost said daddy. Goten spent a lot of time around their house playing with Trunks. He frowned at him thinking of the word, daddy. They were not related at all.
"What is it?" Goten walked up to him and stared.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Vegeta just glanced at him and gave a slight deep frown.
"I don't hate you. Its nothing against you kid. However, let me go over some rules before you start making a nuisance of yourself. First, you will behave in not asking stupid questions. Second, you will do what I say with no questions asked. Third, I don't want to witness you cry in the slightest." He crossed his arms. Goten defiantly looked identical to Kakkorot's. It was so infuriating, but silently he missed Kakkorot's.
He would never admit it. Goku had started to become a real true friend. For no matter how much he had always wanted to beat him and sometimes kill him. Kakkorot's never did. He never even got the chance to thank him and he never will. His pride would never allow it and in a way, that was why he agreed to baby-sit Goten. It was his thank you to Goku for always saving his ass. He also wanted his son to become stronger the Goten and himself stronger that Gohan. For he already knew he could never match Kakkorot's.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Vegeta snorted at his simple question.
"That depends on you." Goten looked to be concentrating for a long moment.
"I want to play outside." Vegeta shook his head.
"That is fine, I am going to work out in the training facility, and you will stay outside and do what ever you do." Goten followed him outside.
"Can I go inside with you?" Vegeta snorted.
"No, it is a man's training and you are way too young." Goten stopped when they reached the outside of the facility.
"What if I need you?" Vegeta looked at him for a long moment.
"Bang down the door." Goten looked at him.
"Really?" Vegeta scowled and then pointed to a button.
"No press this. Only press that button and interrupt me only if it's an emergency." Goten nodded his head. He started to play with the many objects outside. Vegeta watched him as he tries to catch butterflies. He snarled and walked inside.

I must find and kill Goku's son. I must kill him! He watched as the older warrior walked into the chamber. He watched Goten, Goku's son, trying to catch butterflies, made him laughed. GOKU! I will seek revenge...dear...though not yet...he will just wait.

A few hours pass as Goten just did not understand Vegeta, but even though he was such a jerk, he and his older brother were the only ones who understood him. He was not quite sure if Vegeta understood him, but he was like a father to him. He almost called him daddy earlier, and could of kicked him self for it. Vegeta was not his father, Goku was, but he was the only person he knew of to be a father figure...besides Gohan.
Goten ran and jumped suddenly into the tree. He glances through the window into the training room. He stopped what he was doing just to stare. Now bored he sat himself in a tree branch and decided to watch him. As he settled down in the tree branch he could almost swore someone dark was watching grim. He quickly looked around for a bit, getting scared, and at the corner of his eyes. He saw something or someone. He did not really want to interrupt Vegeta...but the feeling gave him the goose bumps.

Part 2


Vegeta just tried to erase all the thoughts going through his head. He punched the air around him trying to erase the fact that Goten almost called HIM daddy. How did Goten ever get the impression that he actually cared for him? He never showed any emotion towards Goten, never once gave him any indication, or told him to see him other wise. He just frowned punching the air even harder. He just growled. He turned himself into a super sayine. He started to let out a lot of his frustration.
He did not know how he got himself into this situation...he hated baby-sitting. He more likely hated the fact that he was watching that little brat. He did not see why Bulma's parents could not take the kid.

Goten walked up to the outside of the door. He looked at the button as he remembered Vegeta's words.
"Only press the button in an emergency." Goten frowned not quite sure what his definition for emergency was. He knew it meant when something goes wrong or if something is not right. He jumped to see Vegeta doing upside down sit-ups from the ceiling of the room. Goten glanced at the button again. He still felt a pair of eyes watching him. It was as if they were watching him, wherever he went.
"If you ever have a bad feeling make sure you tell someone." Gohan always told him that. Goten frowned not really knowing if he should do it. He did not really want to get Vegeta angry...on the other hand; he did not like the idea that someone was watching him. He outstretched his arm and pressed the big red button.

Vegeta felt the pressure lightening as he fell face down onto the pavement of the room. He slammed his fist into the ground. He glanced at who it had to be. He growled sitting himself up. There was Kakkorot's little brat. He just slammed his fist again into the floor. The brat walked inside the room carefully.
"This better be important..." Goten looked at him with big dark eyes. He almost stepped back outside. Vegeta frowned ever so slightly; it was not as he was really going to hurt him. It would be a waste of time!
"Kid I'm not going to hurt you, what the hell is it?" Vegeta stood up and walked over to Goten. He stood there just looking at him with wide eyes.
"Ummm..." His eyes seemed distant for a moment as if debating if he should even bothers. Vegeta just growled, took him by the arm, turned him around, and started to pull him out of the room.
"No... Please d...Vegeta, can I just stay inside with you." Vegeta caught it again. Goten almost called him daddy. He wanted to know, where he got that notion.
"This is a man's training area and you're not old enough!" Goten seemed to look out the window for a long moment as he pushed him outside the door.
"I think there is someone outside watching me." Vegeta stopped. He turned the kid around and just looked at Goten for a long moment.
"What do you mean...watching you?" Vegeta could not believe this was the reason this brat interrupted his training.
"Someone is watching me...I felt them." Vegeta growled and pushed him out of the room.
"Someone watching you isn't an emergency. When it is an emergency, you should have a broken bone, hurt yourself, or need serious help! Someone watching you isn't a good enough reason...now go back outside runt!" He shoved him outside once again.
"By the way runt, don't you ever EVER call me daddy." He glared a sharp glare at Goten.
Goten jumped a little bit, and he could have swore he saw a little bit of hurt, surprise, and confusion on his face. The little brat did not get a chance to reply for before long Vegeta slammed the door shut, switched on the gravity machine, and went back to work.

He just watched from the roof with his arms crossed and a big grin on his face. He hid for a second as the kid looked up at the roof for a second. The older warrior did not believe the child...he hated Goku...and especially any of his children. This one had to go! He would wait though...he would wait....

Goten walked away from the room. His hands were in his little pockets as he glanced back at the door that was shut. He glanced up at the roof for a moment for he could have sworn he saw someone from the roof. Goten however, could careless about who was up there. He didn't mean to make Vegeta mad...that was the least thought in his mind...he had a daddy...but daddy is dead.
He glanced back at the door again with a frown as he climbed his way back up into the tree. He would watch Vegeta train cause right now; he did not feel like playing.


Vegeta trained for another six hours as sweat poured down his back, chest, neck, and face. He stopped training all of a sudden, as he remembered about the little brat outside. Glancing outside the window, he noticed the little brat staring straight through the window. He walked away from the window's view. How long as he been watching him? He thought to himself. He was still pissed that little brat interrupt his training just to tell him someone was watching him.
He growled as he clicked the door open. He walked outside. Goten just stared from the tree as if he was waiting to hear the go ahead. He hid a smirk; this kid was scared of him. Kakkorot's kid was scare! He glanced up at the kid.
"Get down you brat! We need to have a talk." Goten got himself off from the tree. Vegeta saw him glanced up at the roof for a quick moment then back at him. Vegeta followed his glance. There was no one up on the roof.
"Sorry Vegeta." The brat walked beside them, as they walked into the house.
"Look brat, I am going to take a shower and wash myself up. You stay right here until I get back." Vegeta walked up the stairs to the bedroom. He glanced over his shoulder to see him sit quietly on the couch. Again, he saw him glance quickly out the window.
"Vegeta?" Vegeta stopped to look at the kid.
"What the hell do you want now?" The kid shut up for a moment.
"Can I wait upstairs?" Vegeta frowned for a long moment.
"You can wait downstairs just fine...unless you are scared." Vegeta smirked.
"No." The brat said loudly to the comment.
"Good, stay downstairs. I'm taking a shower." The kid sat there as Vegeta walked up stairs to take a shower. He had to wash this kid out of his hair somehow, even if he could not get rid of him for at least a whole week. A WHOLE WEEK! He was stuck with this kid...Vegeta just growled.

Goten looked up at the stair wheal for a long moment. He was pondering if he should just leave to find Gohan. At least Gohan cared for him in the slightest. He sat on the couch as he waited for Vegeta to finish taking that shower. He took his left hand and hit it against his forehead. How could he ever call Vegeta, daddy! He knew his daddy was coming back for one day, the martial arts competition, which will take place in the spring. He also knew his daddy saved the whole world from that ever present cell game. He also knew half the reason daddy died in the first place, was because Gohan was chicken. The dragon balls were summoned after the games, but they could not bring his daddy back. He wished he had a steady daddy and some part of him wished, his dad would come back forever! Not just one day, he wished he had a steady daddy like Trunks. Even if he was a prick. He glanced at the window; for he could of sworn, he saw a face.
"Are you scared?" The comment went through his head. He got up from the couch as he walked over to the window. He wanted to know who was watching him! He walked over to the window and peaked outside. He frowned, as there was no one there. He just knew someone was watching him though.

There you are my dead little pest. It is amazing you do not even know I am here. You got close though...very close. I should get you now...but I will wait to reveal myself in your sleep. You will come directly into my arms. I will promptly kill you in one quick squeeze...so I will wait.

Goten frowned as he sat himself back down onto the couch. As he glanced around the family room, he saw a photo album tucked away. He stood up and took it out. He flipped through the pictures, which displayed his dad. He frowned as he went through the photos.

Vegeta stepped out of the shower. It was two hours later as he placed the towel around his waist. He was still pissed at the little runt. How dare...him of all people...call him anything but Vegeta! He was not dad, daddy, papa, or father. He went into his drawer and took out a pair of boxers, pants and a muscle shirt. As he got himself dressed, he could not help to notice that picture on Bulma's dresser. It had Bulma, Kakkorot, Chi-Chi, Gohan, himself, and Piccolo. It was a picture before the cell games took place. As he looked closer, he could see a finger print around Kakkorot's face.
Bulma never mentioned Kakkorot too much or barely anything about him any more. He knew how much she missed him and it drove him nuts. How could anyone miss a person like that...though underneath he knew the answer? He picked up the photo and glanced at it. Somewhere inside himself, he wanted to know why Kakkorot is dead and he was still alive. Kakkorot was the goody too shoe why he was the prick. Even in that, fact and how many times he and Goku had saved one or the other's life. He still could not help but think why did Goku ever save his life in the first place would always be that big mystery to him.
He knew Goten's older brat brother blamed himself ever since the cell games. He denies it, but he knew that kid did. He had a feeling that despite what happened he had a feeling it would of happened anyway. Hell, Kakkorot was supposed to die from a heart virus.
Vegeta scowled to himself for thinking of Kakkorot so much. He walked down the stairs. He wished that Goten left. He got down the stairs and that wish had left his head. He flew quickly down to the couch, which that brat had been sitting in. Goten was not there. Bulma would kill him! He saw as he approached the couch that Kakkorot's photo album was out. He picked it up and placed it back onto the shelf.
"Brat...where are you!" He called out. He was not in the mood for any games. He heard nothing and let out a silent breath of frustration.
"I'm not in the mood kid!" He looked around the house as he noticed he was nowhere to be seen.

Goten had walked into the training room about an hour ago, after he finished looking at all the photos. He did not really care if Vegeta said no. He felt the gravity tug on his muscles as he exercised in the chamber.

He will kill himself how great! Wait. That would not be fun. He hated Goku, but would wait... he will get revenge against Goku yet. He will wait and come back.

Vegeta could not believe it. He could not find the kid anywhere in the house. He had looked for over and hour. Finally, he made his way outside thinking maybe he is outside. Vegeta growled as he saw he was not there either.

"Your another monster!" Goten grinded his teeth together as he got to his feet. He remembers those words that came out of his mother's mouth when he turned into a golden fighter like Gohan.
"Don't worry about it squirt." He remembered his brother telling him when he was teaching him and Videl how to fly. Goten's eyes flashed with frustration turning them into that pale color before his hair started to turn gold. He was about to turn the rest of the way before he remembered what his mother said.
'Never ever show people who you really are!" Goten sighed and stopped he.

Vegeta did not want to admit it, but he was beginning to get a little bit worried about the brat.
"Don't be mean to him." He remembered Bulma telling him.
"If you have any problems look for Gohan...Goten is very attached to his brother." Vegeta also remembered Chi-Chi telling him. She also commented to him where Gohan was training. He frowned thinking, why would Gohan train with Piccolo? It would be obvious he would get a better fight if he did it with himself!
Vegeta growled knowing Gohan would be the only person to give himself a workout. However now was not the time to be thinking of Gohan? He wanted to know where the brat was. He passed the training facility, eyes looking in every craves. He passed the room then stopped dead cold. He turns around and looks inside. There that kid was. He could not believe it...he was training under the same amount of gravity he was doing earlier...150! Trunks could train under that same condition. Vegeta snarled for he told this kid specifically not to do this. Taking his left hand, he slammed it against the button.

Goten kicked hard into he nothingness air. He felt he weight pulling his muscles to the ground but he would not let it affect him. As he kicked once again into he air, he suddenly felt the pressure go back to normal. He caught himself before he would totally fly across the room with how much force he was putting into that kick. He stood stock-still. He looked up at the clock. He had been at it for at least two hours now...Trunks and him does it all the time. That is when he is invited to stay over and Vegeta is not training. Goten glanced at the door. He knew who it was and immediately regretted even doing it.
Vegeta walked into the room with his arms crossed. He approached him as he did, Goten, this time decided to stay put. Goten just wanted to be like his dad and impress him for one day.

Vegeta glanced down at this kid for a long moment. He was debating what to do with him.
"You could have seriously injured little runt!" Vegeta took him by the arm as he was then promptly flipped over onto his back. He got up and just looked at this kid.
"Listen here runt..." He cut himself off cause he saw him flinch a little. It was almost as if he was debating something. Vegeta could not believe it. Kakkorot's son caught himself off guard and flipped him. He looked at him suddenly.
"So you want to spare with me kid." Goten blinked.
"I didn't think I would get you...it never gets Gohan." Vegeta almost laughed. He would have to spare with the kid...the small runt.
"How about this...if you can punch me in the face. I will take you to go see your brother and we will get something to eat?" He remembered backing this with trunks, but now that he remembers it correctly. This kid is also a supper saying. The martial arts tournament begins in the spring and it just turned into fall. He smirked; he had to see who was stronger so he could prepare Trunks.
"Why would I hit you?" Vegeta laughed for it was the same answer that Trunks gave him.
"See Trunks was able to hit me but he did it as a super sayine and with the gravity on" Goten seemed to make a weird face.
"Do I have to do it as super?" Vegeta laughed.
"If you want to do it or can do it without being super, I will call you Goten the rest of the time you are here." Vegeta saw his eyes light.
"He walked over to the gravity simulator and turned it on. Vegeta turned around to see Goten stand there just looking at him with big eyes.
"Well! Come on now!" Vegeta barked at him. He saw Goten go into a stance as he raised an eyebrow. Goten was not going super.
"Are you sure you can do it without turning super?" Goten smiled.
"If I can hit Gohan, I can hit you..." Vegeta just laughed.

It was a few hours later as Vegeta could not believe it. He stepped out of his room again from taking another long shower. It was like, shoot, that kid defiantly gave him a work out. He did manage to hit Goten in the face, but unlike Trunks who almost started to cry. Goten got back up and looked at him. He was so much like Kakkorot. He stopped walking down the stairs. As Vegeta promised Goten, they were going to go see Gohan, and get something to eat. However, Vegeta could not help but wonder what Kakkorot is doing right now. He shook his head for even thinking of him. Finally, Vegeta got down the stairs to see Goten was not sitting there again. He growled.
"GOTEN!" He shouted. He wanted to say brat, but again he gave his word he would call him Goten. He stormed over to the training room and saw the door was open. Goten was not inside. Vegeta frowned as he walked back into the family. Goten now saw there, eyes wide open.
"Where the hell where you?" Vegeta did not know why his disappearance scared him.
"I was under the couch looking for this." Goten held out a photo. Vegeta walked over and grabbed it out of his hands.
The picture had Goku holding little Trunks as a baby. Vegeta smirked as in the photo it appeared that Trunks had grabbed on to his hair. Vegeta lost the smirk and just glared at Goten.
"Why didn't you answer me when I called you then?" Goten smiled.
"Cause you fun to get angry..." Vegeta snorted at his comment.
"Well kid, lets get going. I don't know about you Goten, but I am hungry." Goten's eyes lightened up.
"Food! I am hungry!" Vegeta just snorted.
"Fine then, lets go." Soon they left to get something to eat at a local food joint.
"Vegeta?" Goten looked at him for a long moment. Vegeta looked back at him.
"What is it...k...Goten?" Goten seemed to be a little bit out of character.
"Do you hate my father?" Vegeta looked at him. He could have sworn he had asked that question before.
"I already told you, I don't hate your father." He barked at the kid. Gees, this kid was annoying.
"Oh...do you hate Gohan?" Vegeta sighed not really knowing who was telling Goten these little things.
"No, I don't hate your brother..." He was jealous, mad, stinking, and frustrated. He was angry that he was not stronger then Kakkorot's boy, but still he could not let Goten know. He was just a kid...a strong kid, but a kid nonetheless.
"Vegeta duck!" Vegeta barely heard those words before he knew nothing but blackness.


It was a blurry image as it seemed like he woke up in a dream. He went over to Kakkorot's house to visit Gohan. It was before Goten was born, as he walked up to the house, he knocked on the door. He was surprised when Chi-Chi had opened the door, she was pregnant. Kakkorot had died only a few months earlier by his sacrifice. He remembered seeing the black mascara still running down her face from tears still. He could tell she was due any day now, and Vegeta at that moment hid a smirk. She looked at him for a long moment.
"Vegeta, can I help you?" It came out quietly as if he reminded her of Kakkorot, being he was the last full-blooded sayine left. He gestured towards her.
"I'm looking for Gohan." She raised an eyebrow as she crossed her arms and laid them on her stomach. He had to admit she might be a pill but as certain moments, he could see why Kakkorot liked her. She never quite understood Kakkorot's motives but she forgave him.....like Bulma did.
"Why are you looking for Gohan?" This was the first time Vegeta had stopped by their house and Chi-Chi had good reason to be suspicious, considering his constant wanting to kill Kakkorot or beat anything related to him.
"I was wondering how he taking Kakkorot's death, he hasn't been around a lot, and I promised Bulma I'd come and check him out." She raised an eyebrow, well it was true. He did not care about Gohan, but Bulma was worried about him. She had good reason to be worried, hell if Gohan would of done it without waiting, Kakkorot would still be alive. What a stupid kid.
"He is over..........ah" She was about to say where, when all of a sudden she almost collapsed to her knees, with her hand over her stomach. Vegeta out of reflex caught the woman.
"What is it woman?" She gasped as she just held her stomach.
"My...water broke....shit..." Vegeta looked around seeing if he could sense Gohan close by. He was not close by at all. Vegeta looked down at Chi-Chi.
"Dam it.." She growled as she placed a hand on her stomach. Vegeta growled thinking how soft he was becoming. He placed an arm around her and picked her up. Her eyes grew huge.
"Vegeta...what are you doing?" Vegeta knew she did not trust him....and again, she had good reason.
"Taking you to the hospital, hang on..." He growled, this was not in his job description but he would do it. Vegeta just sighed to himself as he held her. She was reaping with pain, he could tell on his face.
"Just ... don't...let...me go..." Vegeta looked down at Chi-Chi as he flew fast to the hospital. He did not know why he was doing this...he surely did not need to do it. Chi-Chi moaned as she gasped for air. Vegeta looked down at this girl. He saw her stomach almost cripple, she gasped. Vegeta held on to her as he sped faster towards town.
"Dam woman, why do you have to live so far away from civilization." It did not take long as he approached the hospital. He touched down onto the floor. The civilians started as he just stood there holding Chi-Chi.
"Hey you...nurse....she is having a baby, we need assistance." The man just looked at him with wide eye. Vegeta grabbed one of the stretchers and placed Chi-Chi onto it. Her hands were tightly gripping onto his. Vegeta felt the tight grip tighten.
"Ah....shit." Vegeta pushed her inside as he knew where to take her. As those words left her mouth, he did look at her. Her face was going completely pale...he wasn't there when Trunks was born, so he had really no clue what actually took place.
They finally made it up to the floor where she would give birth, as she was going to be taken in, the lady looked at him.
"Are you related to her baby sir?" Chi-Chi gave Vegeta a long look.
"He is the uncle." Chi-Chi commented. Vegeta looked at her for another long moment as the girl looked at him.
"You are then coming." Vegeta scowled, why the hell should he come. However, he looked into Chi-Chi's eyes...she was Bulma's friend, besides he was curious.
"Yes, since her father is busy." Chi-Chi's eyes grew wide as Vegeta followed her inside the birth room. Soon her legs were separated as Vegeta stood in the back of Chi-Chi. He did not know why he was there, but a few hours past as still the kid did not come out yet. He wondered if Trunks was this difficult.
"Come on, push." The doctor said to her, he saw the rage flicker in her eyes.
"You try having a sayine kid..." She growled as Vegeta burst out laughing. He took her hand as she glanced at him for a long moment.
"Come on Chi-Chi, he can't be worse then Gohan." Chi-Chi's eyes went cold as they looked at him for a long moment.
"Na this one is worse......shit." She suddenly lost consciousness. The doctors quickly pushed him out of the way, as they started to check her out. Vegeta frowned thinking.....if she died, that means Bulma would look after these brats. Hell no! Come on, live god dam it!
"Doctor, we need to do a sea section...quick we might lose her, she is loosing too much fluid." Vegeta just watched as finally the baby came out of the body. His eyes widened a little bit as the air seem to be sayine like...just like Kakkorot's. His cord was cut off as the doctor handed the baby over to him.
"Why you handing the kid to me!?" Vegeta protest, like hell he was going to hold Kakkorot's kid!
"I need to tend to the mother, take the kid." Vegeta took the kid reluctantly, as its tail wrapped its way around his waist. Vegeta could not help but smile, as he held this kid, it quickly had a grin on his face. Vegeta put out his finger as it grabbed onto it...it tugged. He was one strong baby, Vegeta frowned as he knew this would happen. He hoped Kakkorot would not produce another strong baby, but hell.
"I need you to leave sir, we need to work on the mother." Vegeta frowned and looked at the baby.
"Could you cut this off?" He noticed the tail still wrapped around his waist, the doctor eyes widened as he just noticed.
"Sure..." He took a pair of scissors and cut it off. Vegeta just held the kid as he was then promptly kicked out of the room where Chi-Chi was. How the hell did he end up here? He was going for Gohan. He just held the kid and sat down. Shit, there was another brat hanging around. Soon the child fell asleep in his arms as the doctor then came out. It was a good half hour later as Chi-Chi was moved to another room. Vegeta was not the father of this kid but felt pretty close to it...he would never admit it. This kid looked so closed to being Kakkorot...he would not fail this kid. He had an image to become....his father. He finally walked into the room where Chi-Chi looked at him with wide eyes.
"You think I was going to kill the runt." He scowled as she looked at the kid, her eyes almost burst into tears.
"No, it's just..Goku..." Vegeta handed the kid over to her, she held the baby close to her heart. He looked at her for a long moment as the tears wept onto the runt's face. She started to feed him.
"What is the kids name?" Chi-Chi looked at Vegeta for a long moment with solid tears in her eyes.
"Goten...he knew before he left for the games, and he helped come up with the name." She just looked at the baby then back at him.
"Thank you Vegeta, and don't worry I wont tell a soul." She seemed tired suddenly. Vegeta went over as she handed him Goten. He did not know why he took the kid.
"please take him, I need to take a rest." He took the kid as he saw her finally start to drift. She looked at him for a long moment.
"I know you don't care about Goku, Gohan, or Goten,...but.." Vegeta knew she was asking for a father figure he cocked his head slightly.
"I will not raise that kid, that is your responsibility...but if he needs someone besides Gohan, I will help." What was he thinking!!!!!!!! Vegeta saw her smile as she drifted off, as another silent tear left her cheek.
"Goku, come back." Vegeta glanced down at Goten as he rested against his chest asleep. Vegeta again smiled somewhat, he was a cute little thing.....despite the fact he was Kakkorot's son, and in a way....he felt some sort of bond with this one, even if it was not his own. It might have to do with that somewhere inside himself he felt like he owed Kakkorot something.


He finally opened his eyes as he noticed he was under rubble debris from what ever hit them. He blinked as he gained consciousness again. He looked around as he realized, Goten was missing. He started to search through the debris and he did not know why, but it somewhat caused him to get mad. He got himself out of the debris and noticed the emergency crew had gotten most of the other people out. He flew himself out without anyone noticing and went over to the tallest building. He floated higher and as he looked, he pondered....what the hell? He looked around to sense Goten's ki...he felt nothing. As he felt nothing, he felt guilt in the pit of his stomach. He screamed loudly as he knew he had to find him...he just had to find Goten.

He held Goten by the hair as they flew over to the area where the creations known as Androids were destroyed. He tossed the kid against the wall as he opened his eyes. The man placed a foot on the kid's chest. The kid's eyes widened.
"Who are you?" The man smiled sweetly.
"I'm a son of an enemy of your dad's" The kid looked at him for a long moment.
"Soooooooo let me go...my brother is going to kick your ass." The man just laughed at this kid.
"Na, he won't even know you are here...besides who else will save you? Oh yeah, I remember.... you do not have a father.... he is dead. But don't worry, you will meet him soon enough." He let the kid go as he got to his feet, he transformed himself into a super sayine as a grin exploded on his face.
"Who are you!"? The kid shouted at him.
"I'm Brolly's son, Brolly Jr." The kid looked at him for a long moment.
"So, I'm Goten...I'm not my father!" Brolly Jr. just grinned as he slammed his body against Goten, he sent him into the wall.
"That is the beautiful part." Brolly Jr. smirk faded as a solid punch from Goten landed on his jaw. His eye browns knelt as he took Goten by the arm, and with one quick snap, he heard his shoulder bone almost crack as Goten let out a gasp.
"Come on Kakkorot kid, you can do better.... or are you a disgrace." He felt Goten knee him in the grond that sent him to the ground as Goten stepped back. He was not scared but just looked at him.
"I will not lose to an over sized bully!"

Vegeta flew fast through the air as he looked over the earth for any sign of Goten. He did not know how long he had been out, but it was long enough for who ever it was to make a big getaway. He didn't like this one bit...he should of listen to the brat when he saw someone watching him...dam it

Goten stood as far away as possible from this beast. He was now battered, bruised, and beyond hurt. He had been fighting this guy for what seems like hours. He dodged the fist that went flying at his head. Goten was not scared but this guy was strong. The fist suddenly landed on his now broken left shoulder, as he heard a loud snap. He shouted out loud.
"Ouch!" Goten slammed his foot into the guys stomach and sent him flying backwards for a few seconds. He then got a devilish look on his face. Goten looked around a little bit, why still keeping an eye on this guy. He had to find away out of this, he could not take on this guy by himself...maybe if Trunks was here.
"Not bad for a half pint...I guess if you are going to turn super, maybe I should join the club." Oh shit, Goten thought as Brolly Jr. turned into a super sayine. Wait a moment, he wanted him to get stronger so maybe Gohan would come. He did not think Vegeta would...cause he knew the only reason why he was watching him in the first place was because Bulma framed him. He was too quick and soon he found himself being pressed hard against the mountain rebel.
"Now scream for me.." Brolly Jr. tossed him hard down the mountainside as his back hit the rock floor. Goten opened his eyes as he saw Brolly Jr. come down fast with his foot meeting his stomach. Blood came out of his mouth as he couldn't help screaming his plead any longer...he tried to be strong...tried to fight on...but he couldn't.
"GOHANNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs hoping that someone would hear him. Brolly Jr. did it again as the blood came out of his mouth again as Goten screamed in pain.
"GOOOHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He could not lose....as Brolly came down again onto his stomach, he screamed in pain again as he went farther into the rock.
"GOOOOOHANNNNNNN! HELLP!!!!!!!!" He moved before Brolly could do it again, sending a big fire ball at him, he hid himself behind some rocks. He leaned against the wall as he heard Brolly Jr. started to laugh.
"Do you really think hiding from me is going to help you? You will die..." Gohan sat with his back to the rocky side.

"Gohan!"
Gohan stopped dead cold in his track. He was flying over a city where he could have sworn he heard someone shout his name. He looked around wondering where the voice came from. That time he heard a shout for help. Who the hell was it...was it Goten? Gohan started to madly search towards the direction that he heard the shout.

Vegeta flew fast past a city as he searched high and low for Goten. He was not really in the mood for this but it was not quite hide a seek. Besides, he had a score to settle with the guy who knocked him out.
"Gohan!" It was faint and he could not quite tell who it was from, but he knew who it had to be. He knew what the general direction was as he speed in that direction. As he flew in a high speed, he saw Gohan up ahead. He frowned knowing exactly that losing Goten was his fault. Finally, Vegeta caught up to him, Gohan looked over at him for a moment. Vegeta rarely saw the kid anymore, he visited the house once and a while. However, Vegeta always ignored him. He was a bad reminder of Kakkorot.
"Gohan!" Gohan seemed to look over at him for a long moment. Gohan did not know why but he had a feeling Vegeta knew something about what happened.
"You hear that shout too." Vegeta nodded his head, he hoped they were going in the right direction.
"Yes, I think its Goten..." Vegeta could not look at Gohan, who just glanced at him.
"I figured that was Goten, only he would shout my name that loud...but what do you know." Vegeta shook his head.
"I was watching your brat brother when some asshole knocked me out and he was gone." Gohan stopped dead in his track and looked at him.
"Goten?!?" Vegeta snorted but he could not hid the worry look that pleaded his eyes.

Trunks were bored shitless, he loved his grandparents dearly, but he wanted to play with Goten.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Trunks lifted his head, he heard Goten shout from the other side of the mountains. He was not going to waist time, that shout was a painful shout as Trunks flew off the ground. He did not know why, but he had a feeling Goten was in some deep shit.

Goten hid himself behind the mountain wall hoping someone would come. He peeked his head around the corner to see if Brolly Jr. was there. As he saw no shadow or face, his blood pressure started to rise ever so slightly. A hand suddenly swiped at his head, he moved out of the way. Goten was tired and could barely see straight. He felt a foot hit his chin, which sent him flying across the sky into the mountain wall. Before Goten fell straight down to the ground, he felt the pressure of Brolly knee land in his gut.
"AHHHHHHH!" Goten screamed out in pain as blood came out of his mouth. He felt him move back a moment then charge once more. He screamed out again in pain, he could not stop him...finally Goten turned back to his normal self. He was not super sayine anymore.
He felt the guy's hand go around his neck. Goten gasped loud as he slammed his fist into his gut. He screamed out in pain...."ahhh." He was not sure what happened next, but soon Brolly Jr. went flying and Goten flew like a doll. He knew he should of hit the wall, but instead he knew someone caught him.
"Goten?!" He could not believe it...it was Trunks.
"Trunks..." Goten sat up as he noticed Trunks had hidden them both out of site of the man.
"You look like shit my friend, where is Gohan or more important where is my dad." He knew his dad was going to watch Goten.
"I don't know..." Goten suddenly got up and flew right in-between a hand and Trunks face, which sent Goten flying hard against the wall. Trunks stood up, he was a little bit scared.
"Got get Gohan Trunks!" Trunks looked at Goten for a long moment.
"What?!? And leave you here?" Trunks looked as Brolly Jr. just smirked as he raised a hand at Trunks. He saw this red fire dot appear at the tips of his fingers.
"Yes leave me here! We need Gohan!!! He is too strong for us...I can't go," Goten saw Trunks look at him for a long moment then back at Brolly Jr. Trunks knew when he was outmatched, but he couldn't leave his best friend behind!
"I can't leave you Goten! You are my friend!" Goten shouted at him.
"Then as a friend, GO GET GOHAN!!!! If you die now they will never find us." Trunks seemed to blink for a second as the red ball left his fingers. Trunks were too scared to move as then Goten flew directly in the path of the red ball. Goten gasped as his body flew past Trunks.
"Gooo!!!!!" Goten looked at Trunks turning gold. Trunks looked at Brolly Jr. He seemed pissed and distracted by Goten's attempt to get in the way. Trunks did not like it, but he flew off.
"I'll be back!!!!" Again Trunks looked over his shoulder to see Brolly take Goten by the arm and toss him down like a rag doll against the mountain floor. Trunks didn't have time to spare,.......he had to find help!
