"Close But No Cigar"
You guys are probably really angry at the fact that I keep leaving you at cliffhangers? Well, I'm going to get right into this chapter because it feels like it will be a fun one to write, so w/o further ado, chapter 4.
Disclaimer: Well, I may not own DBZ, but I do own Awki, so you can't have her unless you ask really politely!
Chapter 4
"What!" Vegeta screamed just as Bulma hit the floor in a dead faint.
"Wh – What do you mean Vegeta is your father?" Goku stammered.
"I mean, he is my father." Awki said slowly as though Goku was four years old.
Vegeta couldn't believe his ears; he was convinced that this girl was completely insane. He could have killed himself for letting this phsyco into his house and exposing her to his family. Through all the commotion, however, Vegeta couldn't help to feel as though he'd seen this girl before. He looked into her eyes that gave him a cold look back. He was certain that he'd seen those eyes before, but where? 'Of course' Vegeta thought to himself. Every morning when he looked into the mirror, he saw those same eyes. He started as Awki began to speak again.
"Like I said before, I have news to tell you, Vegeta." Awki said as she walked towards him. Automatically Vegeta took a step back for every two that Awki took. "Don't fear me, I don't bite…hard." She smirked as Trunks gave her a look of pure terror.
"This is impossible. You can't be my daughter." Vegeta said through his daze. "I think I would have remembered if Bulma had had another daughter."
"A human! How dare you think that I would have ever been born from a human!" Awki spat bitterly. "No, my mother was pure saiyan, a proud saiyan, and my father was a force to be reckoned with. You."
"Impossible." Bulma said as she regained her conscience. "You're insane."
"Oh yes, it is possible. I didn't want to believe that my father had lost so much pride as to marry and have children with a human woman, but I guess I can't be picky, can I? Although, I know that he would be surprised to see me after all this time, I would've hoped that he would've at least welcomed me back into his life with open arms, but no, he has to go and get himself a family and completely forget about my existence." Awki said this incredibly fast, as though she had been holding it in for many years.
"Wha…?" Vegeta asked.
"He probably thought I had died along with my mother in the destruction of planet Vegeta by Frieza, and who would blame him? But little did he know that there was still a female saiyan alive after all. Me." Awki said this more slowly, as the truth sunk in for Vegeta. She went on. "I was just a little girl at the time, but I remember it all clearly. My mother, being as wise and strong as she was, knew that there was going to be an attack. She threw me into a pod and sent me into space, she didn't set a course however, she just wanted me to be away from planet Vegeta. Unfortunately, I landed on planet Namek, and that's where Frieza took me in, no he didn't raise me, he used me as a sex toy. I was a reward for the good work of his men." Awki looked sadly down at the ground as she allowed everyone to ponder the information before she went on.
"You poor thing." Bulma said as she went to Awki's side and held her in her motherly way, but to Bulma's surprise Awki pulled away form her as though Bulma was some kind of poisonous snake or something.
"Sorry, have I not expressed my hate for human's enough for you to comprehend?" Awki spat in Bulma's direction. "Anyway, back to my story. Like I said I was part of Frieza's crew, al though it wasn't a pleasant stay with them, I eventually developed enough powers to withstand most of the people who used me for their own cruel pleasures, this however displeased Frieza very much. Because I was strong enough to withstand his men, he made me one of his men, or women if you will, he used me to carry out his dirty work. I was a wonderful accomplishment for him, but he didn't know that I was one of the only remaining saiyans, but he eventually did find that out. That's when father, sorry Vegeta, came." Vegeta looked up at his daughter and saw in her cold stare that she really wanted to call him father, but out of respect for him, she'd corrected herself. "When Frieza found out that the great saiyan, Vegeta, was my father he quickly told me that he'd killed him and that my father no longer existed. I didn't believe him for one second, however, and right before the planet Namek blew up, I had gotten off the planet in one of the spare pods in Frieza's space ship. I've been around the universe perfecting my skills and training hard, with hope that someday I would once again be reunited with my father." Awki swelled with pride as she said her last few words.
"Well you got to admit, that was pretty convincing." Goku said optimistically.
"I take it, you are the one who finally defeated Frieza?" She asked Goku coldly. Goku nodded in reply.
The phone started to ring and Bulma, feeling uneasy, when to go answer it. She came back into the room and informed Goku that Chi Chi need him home to help her with chores. Goku took his leave, which left the Briefs alone with Awki.
"Vegeta? I think you and your..um..daughter should get to know each other. I'll just take the kids out to a movie and you can..um..talk." Bulma said shakily.
"I think that would be best." Vegeta said without taking his eyes off his long lost daughter. He was amazed at the resemblance between them. "Bulma, I just wanted to let you know that her appearance will not change anything between our family." Vegeta said softly to his wife. Bulma nodded and took Bra and Trunks out to the car, Vegeta didn't speak until he heard the car leave the driveway.
"Well?" Awki asked nervously.
"Well, I first wanted to inform you that I loved your mother, it's just that I had to move on in life, you know what I mean?" Vegeta asked.
"I suppose I do. Why didn't you come in search of me though, if I remember correctly you weren't one to give up easily, unless…you didn't want to find me?" Awki asked softly.
"It's not that I gave up, it's just that I was a hard core warrior, and since the entire planet Vegeta was blown to smithereens, I figured both you and your mother, had, well, parished." Vegeta couldn't believe what he had just said, he just made it sound like he was trying to tell her that he loved fighting more than her. He wanted her to know that he'd loved her and her mother than anything in life. 'Why do I always screw up when it comes to telling someone I love them?' Vegeta asked himself furiously.
"Well, dad, you may have loved mother but you obviously sure as hell didn't love me. I just want to let you know, before I take my leave, that I really do love you very much, I just wanted to know if you felt the same way about me?" Awki said as she got to her feet.
"What, are you kidding? I love you more than anything! Of course I love Bulma and my children, but I will never love them in the way that I love you." Vegeta said as he too got to his feet. "Please stay, after all, you are my daughter and I do have certain responsibilities as your father."
Awki looked at him with a new light, the look in her eyes was no longer cold, it was more like love than anything.
"Oh daddy!" She sobbed as she flung herself at her father. Vegeta was knocked over with the force of the saiyan coming at him. She sobbed into his shirt for a very long time, Vegeta didn't stop her either, he was glad that she could show him love after all of this time of him neglecting her.
"I love you sweet heart." Vegeta said affectionately into his daughter's ear, this caused an even bigger flow of happy tears, dampening his shirt further.
Awki lay in her father's grasp until Bulma came home from the movies with her children. Awki looked into her father's eyes and realized what she had missed all this time. Love.
