Hiya, I didn't make you guys wait so long this time. Did I? I'm going to try to update every other week from now on. It's hard to keep track of time when all your days merge together. Now on with the story…

Ch 19

Civvie had been searching the house for Kolerabi for quite some time. ::That woman certainly knows how to play hide-and-go-seek:: He did get a little bit of a chuckle from Vegeta and Bulma. Those two were always lip locked anymore. Civvie was going to have to have a talk with his baby sister about boys. But first he wanted to find the only woman that ever made him want to settle down, Kolerabi. So far her room was empty, as were the living room and dining room, the kitchen and the family room. He had made his way down stairs. He hadn't checked the boys' room yet, but why would Kolerabi be there?

But sure enough there was light under the door and two voices. He knocked gently.

Coyote's head popped out the door, "What can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if your sister was in there with you?" Civvie asked.

Coyote looked back into the room before he looked back at Civvie and opened the door, " You can come in."

Civvie snuck around the door and into the room. Kolerabi was seated on the floor looking at some assorted baby items: little diapers, t-shirts, bottles, pacifiers, and other miscellaneous items.

"Rabi?" Civvie whispered as he sat down across from her. She looked up with tear stained eyes and sniffled. Coyote stood back by the door as if guarding it with his life.

"Civvie. It was the hardest thing I've ever done," she whispered and stroked the soft fabric of a little blue pajama suit, "But it was for the best."

Civvie remembered what Kolerabi had told Goku earlier. She was probably the only reason he found the courage to tell Mr. Mau at all. And Kolerabi knew the situation from experience. He looked down at the little baby booties and wondered.

"Rabi, What happened?" Civvie asked gently and met her eyes.

"Why do you want to know?" She whispered.

"Because it's important to you, and I care about your feelings. I care about you a lot, Rabi. More then I ever cared about anyone…I…I'm in love with you. And I want to make you happy and I'm babbling just like Goku," Civvie blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. He was having a hard time making eye contact with Kolerabi now. She giggled at Civvie's sudden shyness and bashfulness. Coyote looked like he was about to gag himself to death.

Kolerabi met Civvie's eyes, " I was sixteen when it all started. I had been dating this guy for about six months. He talked me into sleeping with him. We used protection, but it must have broke or something like that, Because I got pregnant. Then he didn't want to have anything to do with me and said it wasn't his kid. I didn't bother to try and get him back, I had other things to worry about. I had to tell Mom and Dad all by myself.

We decided that I should give the baby up for adoption. I decided it would be the best option for me and my baby. I already had several colleges lined up for me and college and a baby don't mix to well. High school and a baby don't mix to well either. I didn't have a husband or boyfriend, the baby had no father. Coyote was only four. If timing and circumstances would have been better I would have kept my baby. He was born seven pounds, three ounces, and nineteen inches with lots of dark hair. His adoptive parents and I chose to name him Kegan. He lived with my family for two weeks before he moved in to his new home. I can visit him when ever I want to. But not as his mother, I'm just a friend of the family as far as he knows. He's only eight years old. I don't think he'd understand yet…and I know I shouldn't dwell on what could've been. But I can't help but wonder what it would have been like. He was only mine for two weeks."

Civvie admired the woman he loved, she was smart, beautiful, and stronger then he ever realized. He couldn't help but circle his arms around her and hold her close. She buried her head in his chest.

"You'll make a great mother. I'm sorry your circumstances weren't better," He whispered.

"It's alright Civvie, I usually don't have break downs like this," She whispered and started to smile, "But I'm glad you're here with me now."

"If you'll excuse me, I'll leave you two alone," Coyote smirked and left the room.

"He's a little Vegeta isn't he?" Civvie chuckled.

"He is My little brother, so of course he's cocky and arrogant," Kolerabi smiled, " and all my future children will be that way too."

"Really, want to find out?" Civvie flirted.

Coyote hobbled up the stairs. ::Only one more week of this, then I can walk again::

"Hey cripple where's Kolerabi?" Vegeta snorted as his shuffled through the frig.

"What do you want her for?" Coyote asked as he made his way over to Vegeta.

"All this talk about teenage pregnancy, has probably got her upset. You know how she is," Vegeta answered.

"Ya, she was looking at Kegan's things again. But I think Civvie made her feel better," Coyote answered and snatched a left over drumstick before Vegeta could get to it.

"Hey, I wanted that," Vegeta snorted.

"Finders keepers, losers weepers," Coyote chimed.

Vegeta snorted not wanting to give in to Coyote's game, "So she told him everything?"

"Ya, she did. He got all mushy too, and started to sound like that Goku guy. You know how he goes on and on and on and on. It was kinda funny," Coyote laughed.

Vegeta glanced at his brother, "What'd he say."

"Just mushy stuff. Like how much he cares about her and wants her to be happy," Coyote answered, "What's with you guys and girls anyway. All girls do is whine and you guys just put up with it and bow down to their every whim. I don't get it."

Vegeta chuckled, "You're to young to understand. Wait until your hormones kick in and then we'll talk."

"Then I'll ask Dad. He'll know," Coyote answered.

Vegeta all most fell over laughing, "You'll get more then you bargained for. He'll give you the whole talk."

"What talk?" Coyote asked.

"The Birds and the Bees talk," Vegeta snorted.

"You mean the 'where babies come from' talk," Coyote asked. The confused look on his face was priceless.

"ah…no, it's more of a 'how babies are made talk'," Vegeta answered, "Tell you what…I'll answer your questions tomorrow. And if you still don't get it, ask Kolerabi. Got it?"

"Ya, I got it," Coyote answered.

"Now go to bed," Vegeta snorted.

"I can't Civvie and Kolerabi are in there talking still," Coyote answered.

Vegeta spit his orange juice and glared at Coyote.

"What did I do?" Coyote asked as Vegeta trudged downstairs.
