+++++++++++++++++++
It had been a few days since Vegeta told Goku about his dark colored past. Since then the prince had stayed in his room and refused to come out. Goku tried everything to get his stubborn mate out of there but it was no use; and as a last resort he went to the one person who would be able to help.
"Bulma?"
"Hey, Goku. What's-up?" The scientist greeted. She was inside the GR trying to repair it since the last time it was in use by Vegeta he had wrecked before he became to ill and stopped training.
"Listen, I need your help. Vegeta will not come out of our room and that's not good for the baby and I don't know what else to do. " Goku explained, about ready to pull out his hair.
"Okay. Don't worry about a thing. Leave it all up to me. Go upstairs and tell him that it's time for his check-up." Bulma ushered the tall fighter to the door. She, herself zoomed straight into her lab and ran the phone and called her best friend.
"Hello"
"Hi, Chi. It's me, Bulma"
"Hey, Bul. What's going on? How are you doing?"
"Oh, nothing much. Look I need your help with planning a get together. It seems that Vegeta is depressed again."
Bulma rattled off to Chi-Chi about what they would need and who to invite. By the time she hung-up the phone Vegeta was standing next to her looking like he's seen better days.
"omg, Ge! You don't look so well. Come-on I need to examine you."
The royal didn't put up a fuss. He just complied with the woman and followed her to the examining tables. This went on for forty-five minutes. After the examine, Bulma told Vegeta that he needed to get some fresh air and sunlight but the most important thing was that he needed to start gaining more weight.
It seems that the baby was doing fine, but Vegeta's bout of morning sickness had came back with a vengeance and he couldn't keep anything down.
"Vegeta, I'm going to be honest with you. If you don't start putting on extra pounds I'm gonna have to send you to a specialist to get you on a proper diet to gain the weight that you need." Bulma explained.
"Alright woman. I just haven't felt like eating much because Kakarott was not here." Vegeta shot back.
"Well, no excuse. Goku's back and I want you to start eating understand?" She was not leaving room for him to argue.
"Fine" He grumbled out and started walking out of the lab.
"By the way Vegeta. I'm having some of the guys over so I want you in attendance, and I've told Goku so you can't wiggle your way out of it." Bulma laughed as she heard him curse.
By mid-day the party was in full swing. All the Z fighters were there Krillin with his wife 18 and their daughter, Marron as well as Yamcha with some blonde bimbo. Master Roshi, Puar, Oolong, and Turtle had shown up a little while later then Tien and Chazaou. Piccolo, Gohan with Videl, and Chi-Chi all came together, and let's not forget our favorite imps Goten and Trunks.
Everything was going along nicely even Goku and Vegeta finally made their way to the gathering. The prince and his mate were sitting at the table with the food. Goku didn't waste any time preparing plate after pate of delicious goodies. Vegeta really hadn't gained his full appetite back and on occasion nibbled off of Goku's food.
Krillin was the first to observe how gainly the royal looked around the middle and voiced it once everyone was settled down and eating.
"Hey, Vegeta are you feeling alright?" The monk asked. Hoping against hope that the prince wouldn't kill him.
"Hai. Why do you ask Baldy?" Vegeta snapped. Well, apparently his attitude hasn't changed.
"You uh seem to be gaining some weight" Krillin stated.
"Yeah, I thought that Saiyans had a high metabolism." Yamcha said adding his two cents while kissing his friend.
The prince growled. How in the heck was he supposed to keep his pregnancy a secret from these pathetic humans?
Goku sensed his mate's distress. ::I think that we should tell them koi::
"Nani?!! No, fucking way! I don't feel like answering 50,000 questions [ 1 ] about how I got pregnant:: Vegeta mentally barked to Goku.
The others knew that the cold-blooded Saiyan and their friend could communicate to each other, but they hadn't figured out how yet.
::Geta, I will answer any questions that they might have. Besides, if we don't tell them Bulma will:: Goku saw the look of horror pass over Vegeta's visage. He could only imagine what the prince was thinking with Bulma telling everyone. He laughed behind that and stood up gaining everyone's attention.
He places a reassuring hand on Vegeta's shoulder and stroked it lightly. "Everyone. I have an announcement to make."
Goku inhaled deeply and spoke slowly so they could hear every word that he says. "Vegeta and I are going to have baby." His tail unraveled from around his waist and wrapped itself around Vegeta's out stretched wrist.
Well, all right? Their friends didn't quiet understand his meaning yet but soon they will.
"So, you and Vegeta decided to adopt?" Krillin asked.
Vegeta snorted but remained quite. Goku put his hand behind his head and beamed that famous smile of his.
"Oh, no Krillin. Vegeta's pregnant." The gently Saiyan said as if he was discussing the weather.
"NANI?!!' Everyone shouted and some of them fell out of their chairs.
The only ones who didn't seem to care were Bulma and Chi-Chi. They just chatted away discussing the latest fashions and any cute guys that they had seen. Gohan, Piccolo, and Videl just sat and listened waiting to find out if was true, while Master Roshi and company just ignored them all.
"Man, how is that possible?" Krillin's eyes expanded to unbelievable proportions.
"Come-on guys we all know that men can't have babies. It's scientifically impossible." Yamcha said laughing a little.
"Yeah, you're right. You guys sure had us fooled." Tien commented.
A slight smile appeared on Vegeta's face. The only who noticed it was 18. She was sitting a little closer to the prince and got an eye fully of the small swell of his tummy and saw how he was rubbing it in calm circular motions.
"I'm guessing Vegeta that you're about 4 ½ months" the blonde ventured.
The other fighters looked at the android. "18!" Krillin whined.
She just ignored her husband and stared at the royal.
"In human terms, yes, but for a Saiyan I'm 2 ½ months." Vegeta answered then went back to picking food off Goku's plate.
"You're-you're not joking?" Krillin asked.
"Um, no." Goku answered with a serious expression.
"But how? How is that possible?"
Goku opened his mouth to answer but was cut off. ::Goku? Goku, this is King Kai calling::
::Hey, King Kai. What's-up?::
::Goku listen. That group of Saiyans you fought on Aknu is terrorizing the planet Ra-El. I need you and the others with the exception of Vegeta to go there and stop them:: The short blue watcher was quick and to the point. King Kai ended the call as soon as it was made.
"Uh, Goku?" Tien waved his hand in from of his face.
"Sorry about that. King Kai just informed me that our friends are back and are asking for a rematch." Goku turned to his mate.
"I'm sorry Geta but I have to leave again."
Vegeta said nothing. He got up and went into the house. He knew exactly what would happen. He would argue that Goku didn't need to leave and the other useless warriors could take-care of this threat, but in the end his mate would still go.
He didn't know if he would be able to handle being apart from Goku for another two months, and in two more weeks he will be at the half point of his pregnancy. This was proving to be more difficult by the day even his strength was leaving him. Vegeta didn't have the ability to ascend to SSJ because the baby was draining all of his energy.
Goku watched sadly as Vegeta left the party. His first thoughts were to protect his mate and unborn child but he also needed to protect the people of a defenseless world again his own kind. He rose out of his chair to go comfort his mate when a delicate hand stopped him.
"Just give him a moment Goku. He needs some time alone right now"
"But Bulma, I don't want to leave knowing that I'm breaking his heart. I can feel how hurt he is right now. Not being able to fight or to come with me."
"He will understand. He's being very emotional right now even though he's not showing it. He loves you and wouldn't prevent you from doing what you know is right. Just make sure that you spend some time with him before you leave okay" Bulma gave her long time friend a sly wink and went back to talking with her guess.
~ Later that night ~
The moon was full and shining bright among the blanket of stars that spanned across the night sky. Flame hair swayed in the light breeze as a furry tail thumped lazily against its owner. Vegeta had long to go oozau but during his pregnancy he wouldn't dare take that chance. He had the skills to keep from transforming and taught Goku how to curb the call of the moon.
Kami, how he want to go so badly with his mate. He missed the fighting and romping through space. He missed the look of fear that his enemy's had before he blasted them in the next dimension, but most of all he missed his Zarra.
He had wondered from time to time how she would look now. Did she look more like him or Zarbon? Or did she look like neither. His hand fell to his stomach and waited. The baby's slight movements were enough to bring a small smile to his lips.
Goku padded out to the balcony where he saw Vegeta sitting and pulled up a chair beside him. He placed his hand on top of Vegeta's and for the first time he felt his baby move.
A look of surprise passed over his face. "Geta"
"Hai, Kaka" Vegeta's pet name for him that he rarely used.
"I love you"
Tears gathered in the prince's eyes. He knew that it was a sign of weakness as well as hormones but at the moment he really didn't care.
Strong arms encircled him and wet lips blazed a trail down cool tan flesh. Goku stood bringing his mate with him.
"Come My Prince. I know after tonight I will not be able to worship your body until after our baby is born."
No other words were spoken as Goku lead Vegeta by the hand back into their bedroom where they made love throughout the night.
+++++++++++++++++++
Bulma had stayed with her husband for the first couple of weeks after her friend had departed. She knew that it was hard on Vegeta because of the bond with Goku. The following weeks after that things had settled down. Well, that was until they had some unexpected uninvited guess show up one day.
As usual Bulma was in her lab tinkering with one of her many projects trying to figure out why the wire connections was all screwed-up, when she decided to take a break and headed upstairs for lunch. As an after thought she grabbed her tool belt and capsulated it and slipped it in her hip pocket of her jeans.
Dark eyes suddenly snapped opened. Vegeta quickly rolled off the bed in a battle crouch position. He cursed himself for being asleep when five bodies entered his room via the open balcony doors. He also thanked his lucky stars for remaining in his casual human clothes otherwise he would have been naked.
"Greetings Prince Vegeta. We have been searching for you for quiet some time now." A tall Saiyan guard announced.
"Really? Well, I wasn't hard to find. If you had looked hard enough you probably would have found me 10 years ago." Vegeta said through a smirk.
"Why, you little-"
"Calm down, Spina. Remember, Master Turlis wants him unharmed." The first guard said.
Vegeta's smirk widens. "I would watch who you call little." Yeah the prince was taller.
The short guard charged him, but before the other guards could stop him, Vegeta already had his fist slammed into the guard's gut. Too bad he wasn't wearing his gloves.
/Shit! This not good. I'm already out of breath/ Sweat was starting to pool on Vegeta's brow.
The remaining four back away with caution. They weren't expecting any resistance then there was a knock at the door.
"Ge, mom made lun---" Bulma stopped when she saw the strange men in Vegeta's room.
"BULMA! RUN!" Vegeta turned his attention away from the intruders to warn her and then his world went black.
The blue hair genius didn't need to be told twice. She scrambled downstairs; she was almost at the front door.
"Do you think Pumin caught her?" The other tall guard asked.
"Yeah, she only had a power reading of five." They all laughed and turned their attention back to the unconscious prince.
"Man! If she hadn't walked in, we probably would have ended up dead like Spina
"No kiddin'. Did you see how quick he moved? My scouter didn't even pick it up.'
They shrugged their shoulders and lifted Vegeta off the floor.
+++++++++++++++++++
The Z fighters from Earth had their hands full. It seems that their enemy was a little more than prepared this time around. High above the others, Goku and the lead Commander were going at it. The brawny Saiyan dealt out a barrage of punches and kicks. The other Saiyan could do nothing more than block the blows as best as he could.
Goku saw an opening and struck dead in his opponents mid-section causing the warrior to fall out of the sky. Earth's protector was about to descend when-
::Kakaortt!:: The urgency in his mate's voice scared him.
::Geta! What's wrong?::
They caught Bulma and me. They're taking us to New Vegetasei::
::Geta, you sound weak?::
::I used what strength I had to protect the baby and myself and they managed to knock me out. I just woke-up. Oh, fuck here they come. NO! They're putting a col---:: Vegeta's call abruptly cut short.
::Geta?::
No answer
::VE-GE-TA!!:: Goku mentally roared.
Only silence answered him back.
The enrage warrior floated down to the commander. Goku noticed that the other men had retreated and left. Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Gohan, and Piccolo gather around their seething friend. Golden sparks began to ignite around them and lightening rained down. The clear blue sky began to darken. This was not a good sign.
Goku was trying his best not to lose control. He reached down and hauled the commander to his feet, plus he broke the scouter so the others wouldn't know what was about to happen.
"Ok, friend. Tell me where is New Vegetasei" Goku growled.
"Fuck off"
Goku ascend to SSJ2. The commander's black eyes widen. He never knew that the legendary Super Saiyan existed and he never felt such power.
"Tell me dammit!" Goku was short on patience.
"And I said fuck off third-class" The commander shot back.
The ground around them crackled and pieces of rock began to float into the air. An explosive force of Goku's anger erupted. He now stood with thicker longer spiked golden hair he ascended to level 3.
"One last time. If I make it to the next stage you might not survive. Obviously, you and your men were a distraction. Where did your buddy's take my mate?!!" Goku's voice was calm.
His friends knew that he was about to lose what grip he had on his rising temper.
"Your mate???" The commander was a bit confused.
The only one that the scouting party nabbed was that bubble head woman and she was human. The other person he could be talking about---Good Grief!!! "The Prince is your mate?!"
Goku growled low in his throat again. Time was being wasted.
"Listen, pal. I suggest that you tell us where they have taken Vegeta." Piccolo cut in.
The commander was in shock. How could this low class Saiyan be mated to the Prince. Impossible?! The prince would never go so low as to mate with someone of a third class ranking.
Goku took his prisoner's silence as a refusal to answer his and Piccolo's question, but before he could do any damage to the poor soul Tien made a suggestion.
"Uh, Goku. Wouldn't it be easier for you to just read his mind? I mean you did acquire that skill after you defeated Frieza, right?"
Fueled by anger over the capture of his mate, Goku forgot about that skill. Within seconds, Goku retrieved the information and dropped back to his natural state along with the commander.
"Today's your lucky day because I'm not going to kill you." Goku turned and began walking away.
"To bad! You should have!" The commander shouted gathering an energy ball in his hand but dropped dead as Piccolo speared him with an energy blast.
"Some people just doesn't know when to leave well enough alone" Krillin commented.
"Yeah, come-on. From the coordinates, New Vegetasei is about a months journey." Goku said.
They all boarded the Capsule Corp. ship and blasted off. Goku looked out of one of the bay windows praying to Kami that his prince and Bulma were safe.
+++++++++++++++++++
The sweet aroma was a wonderful mix of cinnamon and spice. It was so familiar. Vegeta blink opened his eyes to get his barrings. He felt as if he went through five kegs of strong alcohol. Immediately, his hands went to his stomach. He breath a sigh of relief when he felt the baby move.
/How long was I unconscious?/ He asked his self.
He glanced around the spacious room. It was a replica of his old room from his days with Frieza. All royal blue color scheme even down to the satin sheets and four poster king-size bed. He didn't sense the other presence in the room with him. His hand went to his neck. The bastards placed a collar on him. Now, he had no way of contacting Kakarott.
"I'm glad to see that you're finally awake."
That sexy Australian accent voice. "You had me worried for a minute. You and your friend were out for two weeks. I brought you some food" Vegeta's companion motioned to the chart next to the bed.
The person stepped close to the prince and knelt so he was at eye level with him.
"It's been a long time Vegeta"
The royal could only stare mutely. He didn't know what to say as he looked into yellow-amber orbs.
~ TBC ~
A/N: [ 1 ] That's my favorite saying. OMG! Could things get any worse? Who do you think that's in the room with Vegeta? And what happened to Bulma? Goku is none to pleased as well. Tell me your thoughts and any comments. Sorry about the blank spots but I couldn't think up any names. My brain is all fuzzy and my head feels like its in bucket full of water (yes, I'm still sick). If any one wants to help me out, please do and I'll give you full credit for the names ^_~

It had been a few days since Vegeta told Goku about his dark colored past. Since then the prince had stayed in his room and refused to come out. Goku tried everything to get his stubborn mate out of there but it was no use; and as a last resort he went to the one person who would be able to help.
"Bulma?"
"Hey, Goku. What's-up?" The scientist greeted. She was inside the GR trying to repair it since the last time it was in use by Vegeta he had wrecked before he became to ill and stopped training.
"Listen, I need your help. Vegeta will not come out of our room and that's not good for the baby and I don't know what else to do. " Goku explained, about ready to pull out his hair.
"Okay. Don't worry about a thing. Leave it all up to me. Go upstairs and tell him that it's time for his check-up." Bulma ushered the tall fighter to the door. She, herself zoomed straight into her lab and ran the phone and called her best friend.
"Hello"
"Hi, Chi. It's me, Bulma"
"Hey, Bul. What's going on? How are you doing?"
"Oh, nothing much. Look I need your help with planning a get together. It seems that Vegeta is depressed again."
Bulma rattled off to Chi-Chi about what they would need and who to invite. By the time she hung-up the phone Vegeta was standing next to her looking like he's seen better days.
"omg, Ge! You don't look so well. Come-on I need to examine you."
The royal didn't put up a fuss. He just complied with the woman and followed her to the examining tables. This went on for forty-five minutes. After the examine, Bulma told Vegeta that he needed to get some fresh air and sunlight but the most important thing was that he needed to start gaining more weight.
It seems that the baby was doing fine, but Vegeta's bout of morning sickness had came back with a vengeance and he couldn't keep anything down.
"Vegeta, I'm going to be honest with you. If you don't start putting on extra pounds I'm gonna have to send you to a specialist to get you on a proper diet to gain the weight that you need." Bulma explained.
"Alright woman. I just haven't felt like eating much because Kakarott was not here." Vegeta shot back.
"Well, no excuse. Goku's back and I want you to start eating understand?" She was not leaving room for him to argue.
"Fine" He grumbled out and started walking out of the lab.
"By the way Vegeta. I'm having some of the guys over so I want you in attendance, and I've told Goku so you can't wiggle your way out of it." Bulma laughed as she heard him curse.
By mid-day the party was in full swing. All the Z fighters were there Krillin with his wife 18 and their daughter, Marron as well as Yamcha with some blonde bimbo. Master Roshi, Puar, Oolong, and Turtle had shown up a little while later then Tien and Chazaou. Piccolo, Gohan with Videl, and Chi-Chi all came together, and let's not forget our favorite imps Goten and Trunks.
Everything was going along nicely even Goku and Vegeta finally made their way to the gathering. The prince and his mate were sitting at the table with the food. Goku didn't waste any time preparing plate after pate of delicious goodies. Vegeta really hadn't gained his full appetite back and on occasion nibbled off of Goku's food.
Krillin was the first to observe how gainly the royal looked around the middle and voiced it once everyone was settled down and eating.
"Hey, Vegeta are you feeling alright?" The monk asked. Hoping against hope that the prince wouldn't kill him.
"Hai. Why do you ask Baldy?" Vegeta snapped. Well, apparently his attitude hasn't changed.
"You uh seem to be gaining some weight" Krillin stated.
"Yeah, I thought that Saiyans had a high metabolism." Yamcha said adding his two cents while kissing his friend.
The prince growled. How in the heck was he supposed to keep his pregnancy a secret from these pathetic humans?
Goku sensed his mate's distress. ::I think that we should tell them koi::
"Nani?!! No, fucking way! I don't feel like answering 50,000 questions [ 1 ] about how I got pregnant:: Vegeta mentally barked to Goku.
The others knew that the cold-blooded Saiyan and their friend could communicate to each other, but they hadn't figured out how yet.
::Geta, I will answer any questions that they might have. Besides, if we don't tell them Bulma will:: Goku saw the look of horror pass over Vegeta's visage. He could only imagine what the prince was thinking with Bulma telling everyone. He laughed behind that and stood up gaining everyone's attention.
He places a reassuring hand on Vegeta's shoulder and stroked it lightly. "Everyone. I have an announcement to make."
Goku inhaled deeply and spoke slowly so they could hear every word that he says. "Vegeta and I are going to have baby." His tail unraveled from around his waist and wrapped itself around Vegeta's out stretched wrist.
Well, all right? Their friends didn't quiet understand his meaning yet but soon they will.
"So, you and Vegeta decided to adopt?" Krillin asked.
Vegeta snorted but remained quite. Goku put his hand behind his head and beamed that famous smile of his.
"Oh, no Krillin. Vegeta's pregnant." The gently Saiyan said as if he was discussing the weather.
"NANI?!!' Everyone shouted and some of them fell out of their chairs.
The only ones who didn't seem to care were Bulma and Chi-Chi. They just chatted away discussing the latest fashions and any cute guys that they had seen. Gohan, Piccolo, and Videl just sat and listened waiting to find out if was true, while Master Roshi and company just ignored them all.
"Man, how is that possible?" Krillin's eyes expanded to unbelievable proportions.
"Come-on guys we all know that men can't have babies. It's scientifically impossible." Yamcha said laughing a little.
"Yeah, you're right. You guys sure had us fooled." Tien commented.
A slight smile appeared on Vegeta's face. The only who noticed it was 18. She was sitting a little closer to the prince and got an eye fully of the small swell of his tummy and saw how he was rubbing it in calm circular motions.
"I'm guessing Vegeta that you're about 4 ½ months" the blonde ventured.
The other fighters looked at the android. "18!" Krillin whined.
She just ignored her husband and stared at the royal.
"In human terms, yes, but for a Saiyan I'm 2 ½ months." Vegeta answered then went back to picking food off Goku's plate.
"You're-you're not joking?" Krillin asked.
"Um, no." Goku answered with a serious expression.
"But how? How is that possible?"
Goku opened his mouth to answer but was cut off. ::Goku? Goku, this is King Kai calling::
::Hey, King Kai. What's-up?::
::Goku listen. That group of Saiyans you fought on Aknu is terrorizing the planet Ra-El. I need you and the others with the exception of Vegeta to go there and stop them:: The short blue watcher was quick and to the point. King Kai ended the call as soon as it was made.
"Uh, Goku?" Tien waved his hand in from of his face.
"Sorry about that. King Kai just informed me that our friends are back and are asking for a rematch." Goku turned to his mate.
"I'm sorry Geta but I have to leave again."
Vegeta said nothing. He got up and went into the house. He knew exactly what would happen. He would argue that Goku didn't need to leave and the other useless warriors could take-care of this threat, but in the end his mate would still go.
He didn't know if he would be able to handle being apart from Goku for another two months, and in two more weeks he will be at the half point of his pregnancy. This was proving to be more difficult by the day even his strength was leaving him. Vegeta didn't have the ability to ascend to SSJ because the baby was draining all of his energy.
Goku watched sadly as Vegeta left the party. His first thoughts were to protect his mate and unborn child but he also needed to protect the people of a defenseless world again his own kind. He rose out of his chair to go comfort his mate when a delicate hand stopped him.
"Just give him a moment Goku. He needs some time alone right now"
"But Bulma, I don't want to leave knowing that I'm breaking his heart. I can feel how hurt he is right now. Not being able to fight or to come with me."
"He will understand. He's being very emotional right now even though he's not showing it. He loves you and wouldn't prevent you from doing what you know is right. Just make sure that you spend some time with him before you leave okay" Bulma gave her long time friend a sly wink and went back to talking with her guess.
~ Later that night ~
The moon was full and shining bright among the blanket of stars that spanned across the night sky. Flame hair swayed in the light breeze as a furry tail thumped lazily against its owner. Vegeta had long to go oozau but during his pregnancy he wouldn't dare take that chance. He had the skills to keep from transforming and taught Goku how to curb the call of the moon.
Kami, how he want to go so badly with his mate. He missed the fighting and romping through space. He missed the look of fear that his enemy's had before he blasted them in the next dimension, but most of all he missed his Zarra.
He had wondered from time to time how she would look now. Did she look more like him or Zarbon? Or did she look like neither. His hand fell to his stomach and waited. The baby's slight movements were enough to bring a small smile to his lips.
Goku padded out to the balcony where he saw Vegeta sitting and pulled up a chair beside him. He placed his hand on top of Vegeta's and for the first time he felt his baby move.
A look of surprise passed over his face. "Geta"
"Hai, Kaka" Vegeta's pet name for him that he rarely used.
"I love you"
Tears gathered in the prince's eyes. He knew that it was a sign of weakness as well as hormones but at the moment he really didn't care.
Strong arms encircled him and wet lips blazed a trail down cool tan flesh. Goku stood bringing his mate with him.
"Come My Prince. I know after tonight I will not be able to worship your body until after our baby is born."
No other words were spoken as Goku lead Vegeta by the hand back into their bedroom where they made love throughout the night.
+++++++++++++++++++
Bulma had stayed with her husband for the first couple of weeks after her friend had departed. She knew that it was hard on Vegeta because of the bond with Goku. The following weeks after that things had settled down. Well, that was until they had some unexpected uninvited guess show up one day.
As usual Bulma was in her lab tinkering with one of her many projects trying to figure out why the wire connections was all screwed-up, when she decided to take a break and headed upstairs for lunch. As an after thought she grabbed her tool belt and capsulated it and slipped it in her hip pocket of her jeans.
Dark eyes suddenly snapped opened. Vegeta quickly rolled off the bed in a battle crouch position. He cursed himself for being asleep when five bodies entered his room via the open balcony doors. He also thanked his lucky stars for remaining in his casual human clothes otherwise he would have been naked.
"Greetings Prince Vegeta. We have been searching for you for quiet some time now." A tall Saiyan guard announced.
"Really? Well, I wasn't hard to find. If you had looked hard enough you probably would have found me 10 years ago." Vegeta said through a smirk.
"Why, you little-"
"Calm down, Spina. Remember, Master Turlis wants him unharmed." The first guard said.
Vegeta's smirk widens. "I would watch who you call little." Yeah the prince was taller.
The short guard charged him, but before the other guards could stop him, Vegeta already had his fist slammed into the guard's gut. Too bad he wasn't wearing his gloves.
/Shit! This not good. I'm already out of breath/ Sweat was starting to pool on Vegeta's brow.
The remaining four back away with caution. They weren't expecting any resistance then there was a knock at the door.
"Ge, mom made lun---" Bulma stopped when she saw the strange men in Vegeta's room.
"BULMA! RUN!" Vegeta turned his attention away from the intruders to warn her and then his world went black.
The blue hair genius didn't need to be told twice. She scrambled downstairs; she was almost at the front door.
"Do you think Pumin caught her?" The other tall guard asked.
"Yeah, she only had a power reading of five." They all laughed and turned their attention back to the unconscious prince.
"Man! If she hadn't walked in, we probably would have ended up dead like Spina
"No kiddin'. Did you see how quick he moved? My scouter didn't even pick it up.'
They shrugged their shoulders and lifted Vegeta off the floor.
+++++++++++++++++++
The Z fighters from Earth had their hands full. It seems that their enemy was a little more than prepared this time around. High above the others, Goku and the lead Commander were going at it. The brawny Saiyan dealt out a barrage of punches and kicks. The other Saiyan could do nothing more than block the blows as best as he could.
Goku saw an opening and struck dead in his opponents mid-section causing the warrior to fall out of the sky. Earth's protector was about to descend when-
::Kakaortt!:: The urgency in his mate's voice scared him.
::Geta! What's wrong?::
They caught Bulma and me. They're taking us to New Vegetasei::
::Geta, you sound weak?::
::I used what strength I had to protect the baby and myself and they managed to knock me out. I just woke-up. Oh, fuck here they come. NO! They're putting a col---:: Vegeta's call abruptly cut short.
::Geta?::
No answer
::VE-GE-TA!!:: Goku mentally roared.
Only silence answered him back.
The enrage warrior floated down to the commander. Goku noticed that the other men had retreated and left. Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Gohan, and Piccolo gather around their seething friend. Golden sparks began to ignite around them and lightening rained down. The clear blue sky began to darken. This was not a good sign.
Goku was trying his best not to lose control. He reached down and hauled the commander to his feet, plus he broke the scouter so the others wouldn't know what was about to happen.
"Ok, friend. Tell me where is New Vegetasei" Goku growled.
"Fuck off"
Goku ascend to SSJ2. The commander's black eyes widen. He never knew that the legendary Super Saiyan existed and he never felt such power.
"Tell me dammit!" Goku was short on patience.
"And I said fuck off third-class" The commander shot back.
The ground around them crackled and pieces of rock began to float into the air. An explosive force of Goku's anger erupted. He now stood with thicker longer spiked golden hair he ascended to level 3.
"One last time. If I make it to the next stage you might not survive. Obviously, you and your men were a distraction. Where did your buddy's take my mate?!!" Goku's voice was calm.
His friends knew that he was about to lose what grip he had on his rising temper.
"Your mate???" The commander was a bit confused.
The only one that the scouting party nabbed was that bubble head woman and she was human. The other person he could be talking about---Good Grief!!! "The Prince is your mate?!"
Goku growled low in his throat again. Time was being wasted.
"Listen, pal. I suggest that you tell us where they have taken Vegeta." Piccolo cut in.
The commander was in shock. How could this low class Saiyan be mated to the Prince. Impossible?! The prince would never go so low as to mate with someone of a third class ranking.
Goku took his prisoner's silence as a refusal to answer his and Piccolo's question, but before he could do any damage to the poor soul Tien made a suggestion.
"Uh, Goku. Wouldn't it be easier for you to just read his mind? I mean you did acquire that skill after you defeated Frieza, right?"
Fueled by anger over the capture of his mate, Goku forgot about that skill. Within seconds, Goku retrieved the information and dropped back to his natural state along with the commander.
"Today's your lucky day because I'm not going to kill you." Goku turned and began walking away.
"To bad! You should have!" The commander shouted gathering an energy ball in his hand but dropped dead as Piccolo speared him with an energy blast.
"Some people just doesn't know when to leave well enough alone" Krillin commented.
"Yeah, come-on. From the coordinates, New Vegetasei is about a months journey." Goku said.
They all boarded the Capsule Corp. ship and blasted off. Goku looked out of one of the bay windows praying to Kami that his prince and Bulma were safe.

The sweet aroma was a wonderful mix of cinnamon and spice. It was so familiar. Vegeta blink opened his eyes to get his barrings. He felt as if he went through five kegs of strong alcohol. Immediately, his hands went to his stomach. He breath a sigh of relief when he felt the baby move.
/How long was I unconscious?/ He asked his self.
He glanced around the spacious room. It was a replica of his old room from his days with Frieza. All royal blue color scheme even down to the satin sheets and four poster king-size bed. He didn't sense the other presence in the room with him. His hand went to his neck. The bastards placed a collar on him. Now, he had no way of contacting Kakarott.
"I'm glad to see that you're finally awake."
That sexy Australian accent voice. "You had me worried for a minute. You and your friend were out for two weeks. I brought you some food" Vegeta's companion motioned to the chart next to the bed.
The person stepped close to the prince and knelt so he was at eye level with him.
"It's been a long time Vegeta"
The royal could only stare mutely. He didn't know what to say as he looked into yellow-amber orbs.

A/N: [ 1 ] That's my favorite saying. OMG! Could things get any worse? Who do you think that's in the room with Vegeta? And what happened to Bulma? Goku is none to pleased as well. Tell me your thoughts and any comments. Sorry about the blank spots but I couldn't think up any names. My brain is all fuzzy and my head feels like its in bucket full of water (yes, I'm still sick). If any one wants to help me out, please do and I'll give you full credit for the names ^_~
