A/N: Hello dedicated readers. I am very sorry that I haven't up dated this sooner. Thank you for your motivating reviews, they keep me going! Here is the much anticipated chapter. Happy Reading!!

To Debido: You're right, fighting is not my forte. Romance is, lol. I'm purposely going fast and you are absolutely right again, it's quality that counts not quantity. Thanks for the review, I'll take everything you wrote into account! I'll try to make the cell fight more detailed. :)

Thank you to Lady Icewolf!!! King Vegeta will now be known is King Regent. (A term for a former King).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A roar reverberated through the entire planet with a flash of pink. Large purple energy began swirling around the newly transformed being.

Cell laughed in his new deep, evil voice. "Time to destroy."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Her eyes turned as large as two shining pennies, she looked up and was greeted by the worried faces of her mother, father, Otousan, Chi Chi and Kinjal. "My water broke.." She whispered.

She felt a contraction coming and squeezed her eyes shut at the pain, *No, this can't be happening!! It's too early, too soon!*

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{Earth}

Vegeta growled at the tremendous power he felt coming from Earth. His eyebrow twitched as the realisation hit him. Cell was stronger than Frieza. *Kuso!* His gaze drifted to the purple-haired boy standing a few feet away, who was staring at him. Vegeta narrowed his eyes, getting the odd sensation that he should somehow know who the boy was. *He seems far too familiar*

Trunks looked abruptly down at his boots when Vegeta had caught him staring. He couldn't believe that his 'father' was standing only a few feet away. In Mirai time he had missed his father greatly, and now to have him standing there felt slightly odd.

Goku shook his head at the incredible power emanating from Cell, he looked at Dende in slight hope. "Dende, do you think that it's possible for Vegeta and I to use the hyperbolic time chamber? If we just have enough time to train, I'm sure we can beat this guy."

Everyone, save Vegeta, looked at Goku as if he had sprouted another head.

Mr. Popo decided to add his thoughts. His calm and soothing voice echoed around the Z fighters, "I think that is an excellent idea Goku. With both you and Vegeta training together, I am sure you will be able to defeat Cell. But you must act quickly, it seems as though Cell had already begun his destruction of the Earth."

Goku nodded in agreement. They all looked down from the lookout, seeing that Cell had already destroyed nearly a quarter of the world's population.

Vegeta snorted, "I will not spend the next two years in isolation with that baka!"

Goku's eyes widened, "But Vegeta-"

"No but's Kakkarot. I train alone," He growled out the last three words.

Gohan thought for a moment, "Dad, I could train with you, if Vegeta doesn't want to. I'm sure I could improve and with mom not being here, she can't complain!"

Vegeta rolled his eyes, "Well Kakkarot, that matter is settled."

Goku looked at Gohan comtemplatively, "That's all well and done Vegeta, BUT, you can't possibly train in the chamber alone."

Vegeta narrowed his eyes, "And why not. Who are you to tell me what to do Kakkarot?"

Goku shook his head, "It's too dangerous, you would need a partner to go in with you! It's a rule that Kami enforced when one of his fighter's died from insanity."

Vegeta 'hmphed', "I am perfectly capable-"

"Actually," Mr. Popo interjected, "Goku is right. It is forbidden for a fighter to enter the chamber alone."

Krillin cleared his throat slightly, "Uh guys, you forgot something."

Goku raised an eyebrow at his old friend, "What is it Krillin?"

Krillin shrugged his shoulders and pointed at Trunks, "What if he goes in to train with Vegeta. I mean he's half Saiya-jin as well, right?"

Gohan's jaw dropped, "That's right! Krillin, what a great idea."

Trunks coughed slightly, his cheeks slowly reddening. "I think it's a good idea too, but only if fa- I mean Vegeta says it's ok."

Vegeta snorted but remained silent. He had completely missed Trunks' slip- up over the word 'father'. Everyone took it as Vegeta's consent.

Goku hesitated for a moment, "Vegeta, do you mind if Gohan and I go in first?"

Vegeta snapped to attention, growling at Goku's request. "Why. So you can become stronger than me?"

Goku sighed slightly, "No Vegeta, you're already stronger than me and you know it."

"Very well. But when it is my turn, I will make sure to become stronger than you."

Goku smiled and nodded. He looked down at his son winked, "Ready Son?"

Dende frowned slightly, "How long do you wish to be in there?"

Gohan looked up at his father, "Dad?"

Goku thought for a moment. "Two days, or two years in the hyperbolic time chamber. Is that ok Dende?"

Dende nodded slowly, "Better start then, time is running short."

Mr. Popo stepped up to the large Saiya-jin and short Demi-Saiya-jin, "Follow me please."

Goku and Gohan follwed Mr. Popo to the hyperbolic time chamber.

Once they were gone, only Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, Krillin and Dende remained on the lookout.

Trunks blew a tuft of purple hair away from his face, "So, what do we do for the next two days?"

Piccolo's eyes never adverted from looking down on Earth. He smirked slightly, "We wait."

Vegeta grunted and walked away from the group, prefering to be in solitude. He sat down on the steps of the lookout and entered a deep meditative state, he couldn't help shake the feeling that he was being watched and he could guess by who.

Trunks watched his father meditating, from a distance. The need to converse with him was overwhelming, yet he did nothing to initiate a conversation.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{Vegeta-sei/Earth}

Bulma was now in the medical wing of the palace and was screaming blue murder. Nothing the doctor's did helped the pain she was feeling. Tiny beads of sweat formed on her upper lip. She really needed Vegeta by her aide at that moment, so she could kill him! "Get this baby out of me!" She screamed at one of the nurses.

Chi Chi looked at her old friend with slight worry. Her labor pains were not as intense as the one's Bulma was experiencing. She sat on a chair next to Bulma with a cloth, trying to comfort her. "Bulma please, you're only agitating the baby. Calm down."

Bulma glared at her friend, "Calm down? You want me to calm down? WELL I'M SORRY TO INCONVENIENCE YOU CHI-CHI!"

"That's not what I meant Bulma and you know it!" She gently dabbed Bulma's brow.

Bulma took deep breaths trying to calm herself down, much to the relief of Chi Chi.

The Saiya-jin doctor slowly stepped towards Bulma, "Your majesty, it seems as though your gestation period is different to that of a Saiya-jins."

Bulma and Chi Chi looked at the doctor as if he was a lunatic, Bulma narrowed her eyes, "Of course it's different, I'M NOT SAIYA-JIN YOU MORON!"

Chi Chi shook her head, Bulma as beginning to sound more like Vegeta as the days went by. She looked up at the doctor, whose name was Dr. Vegar. "How long will the labor last?"

He looked at his chart and ordered the nurse to hook Bulma up to some fluids, before answering. "According to my calculations, the labor should last for a total of thirty hours."

Bulma and Chi Chi's eyes widened, "WHAT?" They both screamed out at the same time. The entire scene was almost comical.

"But that's impossible, mine only lasted for eighteen hours!" Chi Chi sputtered, trying to make sense of what she was being told.

Another wave of pain came over Bulma and she whimpered as leaned forward slightly to ease the pain. "Chi it hurts, make it stop. I want Vegeta." Her lower lip quivered as she said this.

Chi Chi gently pushed Bulma into a laying position. "It's ok Bulma. Just relax." She turned to the doctor, "Does your planet administer some sort of anesthetic for the pain?"

Dr. Vegar looked at Chi Chi in an odd manner, "Our people do not rely on any pain relieving substance. We are a warrior race, not weaklings."

Chi Chi narrowed her eyes at the slightly incompetent doctor, "If you haven't noticed, we aren't Saiya-jins!!"

Dr. Vegar sighed, "I'm sorry. No such drug is kept on this planet." He placed the chart down and looked at his Queen. "Forgive me your highness, I will check on you in half an hour. It seems as though there are a few complications with the child." He touched her stomach, inspecting it and nodded to himself as if he knew something they didn't.

Bulma and Chi Chi looked at each other, worried expressions dancing across their faces.

********************

Dr. Vegar stepped out of the medical room to be greeted with an onslaught of questions. He spoke above the rowdiness of the crowd. "Her highness seems to be fine, for the moment. It seems as if the birth will be premature." He saw the former King standing in the corner and bowed, motioning him to walk with him further down the hall away from curious ears.

Dr. Vegar smiled sadly, "I'm sorry sire to force your company over here, but I have some news of interest."

Vegeta's father raised his eyebrow, "What is it Vegar?" This doctor had been with the Royal House from the beginning and was very trusted.

Dr. Vegar lowered his voice so only the two could hear, "It seems as though the foetal position of the child is rather.. awkward. It could lead to complications during the actual birth. This is why her majesty is in a great deal of pain."

Images of his own mate's death flashed before his eyes. She had died because of birth complications as well. He could not allow it to happen to Bulma, "What can you do?"

Dr. Vegar thought for a moment, "Place the child in a Saiya-jin incubator and hope for the best. Or just let mother nature run her course."

King Regent thought for a while, "We will just have to wait until any further complications arise." Before the doctor walked away, he called out, "Oh and Vegar, not a word of this to anyone. Not even Bulma, am I clear?"

Dr. Vegar frowned slightly at the decision but nodded in agreement, going back into the medical room to check on his Queen.

********************

Bulma was now running up a slight fever. Moaning, she shifted positions slightly, mentally crying out from the pain. She was slightly afraid to call out to Vegeta but she did so unknowingly before, it was only now that he heard her.

Vegeta was in a deep meditative state when he saw the image of Bulma laying in a medical bed, feverish and moaning in pain. He jolted out of his trance, but the images kept coming and were so strong that he could almost feel some of her pain. Growling, he decided on contacting her to find out what she was playing at. *Onna?*

Bulma stirred into a semi-conciousness as she heard a faint voice in the back of her mind. The voice became louder, and she was abruptly brought back to the present. *Vegeta?*

Vegeta growled, *Is this some sort of joke onna?*

Bulma's temper began to flare, despite the current state she was in, *No you brainless monkey!*

*Grr..*

*Don't 'Grr' me Vegeta! I might be dying here because of you and this catatonic child I'm carrying!*

A sliver of concern laced his otherwise mocking tone, *What is the problem now Onna?*

Bulma lay in the bed as the people that surrounded her bed began to fade away and all that was left was her and Vegeta. She sighed, *I think there is something wrong with the labor, it's just the doctor won't tell me anything. I think there might be a few complications with the birth.*

*You will be fine* He stated simply.

Bulma felt her lower lip quiver again, *What if I'm not Vegeta? What if something goes horribly wrong? I want you here with me, not all the way across the universe!* She sounded like a stubborn child.

Vegeta exhaled, *Onna, things are not well on your planet-*

Another wave of pain caused Bulma to gradually slip into a an unconscious state. She cried out mentally from losing her grip on the bond link with Vegeta.

Vegeta frowned as he felt her presence begin to slip away, *Onna.*

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

{Earth}

Vegeta tried to hold onto the link, but failed. *Damn.* He was slightly aware of the fact that things might not be too well on Vegeta-sei. He only hoped that they were. As he opened his eyes, he saw the purple-haired boy staring at him again.

At this stage Vegeta was beginning to get annoyed, he phased in front of the surprised teen and grabbed his neck, squeezing it tightly and not in the mood for pleasantries. He would rather be back on his own planet than be saving this mudd ball of a planet. He growled at the face of the shocked Trunks, "What are you staring at BOY?"

Trunks winced slightly from the harshness of the tone, "N-nothing, I'm not staring at anything."

Vegeta narrowed his eyes, "The next time you look my way boy, I shall gauge your eyes out. Understood?" He said in a quiet menacing tone.

A hurt looked flashed across Trunks' face.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A/N: OOO Veggies being far too mean to him don't ya think, what's gonna happen when he find's out Trunks is his son from the future?(lol).

Sorry that was slightly short!

Anyway, stay tuned for the next chapter! Will Bulma find out about her complications? and will it be too late to save her? Find out in the next chappy!
