Vegeta's Fears, Someone's a Daddy!

Disclaimer: - I cried myself to sleep when the news came in that the creators of DBZ weren't my parents, but I give a big round of applause to the guy that ACTUALLY made them … Akira … someone …

I'm really sorry for the REALLY long wait, but I experienced writers block for the first time in my life for real and I just had NO ideas whatsoever! Anywho, I'm back with a new chappy for ya! Enjoy!

Last Time

"Where are you going Geta?"

"To tend to Rappy's eggs" he replied "They have to be incubated"

"All of the Z Warriors watched in awe as Vegeta crawled into the raptor house.

"He really has changed hasn't he?" asked Tien

"Yeah" replied Bulma "I can't wait to see how he acts around his son!"

At this thought, all of the Z Warriors started laughing again.

In the raptor house

'So' Vegeta thought to himself 'It's a boy … good'

And with that thought, he gently flared his ki to warm the area and snuggled down between Rappy and Fluffy.

Several days had passed since Vegeta's discovery of becoming a father, and Bulma was beginning to become depressed. She was now only a few days away from giving birth and all of the Z Warriors had come to check on her before it was time to go to the hospital.

"Hi Bulma!" Greeted Goku cheerfully "How ya doin?"

"Huh? Oh, hi Goku" Bulma replied gloomily "I'm fine"

All of the Z Warrior gave each other a look of worry and an uncomfortable silence filled the air.

"I feel as though I've heard this somewhere before" Piccolo started in his usual monotonic voice "But aren't pregnant women who are about to become mother's supposed to be happy?"

"Yep" Bulma replied

"You don't loo very happy" Tien stated "Has Vegeta upset you again?"

"I wouldn't know!" replied Bulma

"What do you mean?"

"I never see him anymore!"

"But … why?" asked Goku

"Because he spends his days training, and his nights with the raptors!"

All of the Z Warriors frowned.

"I know!" Goku cried happily "I'll go talk to him and ask him why he's ignoring you!"

"I think he's more excited about the raptor eggs hatching than his own son being born" Bulma stated sadly "I just wish he'd let me know that he cares!"

Goku crept out of the room as all of the women comforted Bulma. He quickly made his way to the raptor house and crawled inside. As he approached the back of the house, he realised that there was an extension to the house now and that there were two rooms instead of one. He could hear voices up ahead and so strained his ears so that he could hear what was being said.

"I know that I should be with my mate Rappy, but you know how I feel!"

"Grrraaaaooooorrr"

"Yes, I know I'm hurting her, but don't you think it's hurting me too?" Vegeta asked "After all, I am her mate as well!"

"Rrrrraaaoooooaaaeeerrrr"

"I know, but I'm scared! What if I hurt her or even worse! What if I hurt the baby?!"

"Grrrraaaoooorrrreeeeooooggrrrr"

"I guess you're right, I mean, I've seen the look hurt in Bulma's eyes when I ignore her, but I'm just so nervous about becoming a father … aren't you nervous about becoming a parent?"

"Rrriiiirrrrr"

"How come?"

"Gaaaaooorrr"

"Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm appreciated and I will help you"

"Grrreeeoooooaaarrrrggg"

"I know you'll help me when I become a father … speaking of father's, where is that sad excuse for mate of yours?"

"Nrrrraaooor"

"But why is he gathering food??? We feed you!"

"Nrraa"

"Instincts huh? I wonder if my instincts will kick in when my brat's born."

Suddenly, Rappy started growling at the doorway to the new room and Vegeta's eyes narrowed. Both of them sniffed the air and Vegeta smirked.

"Get out of your hiding place Kakarot" Vegeta demanded "You've been discovered!"

Goku crawled out sheepishly from behind the door and smiled.

"Hi Geta!" he greeted happily

"What do you want clown? Rappy doesn't like trespassers near her eggs"

Goku looked towards the dinosaur and gulped noticing that the only thing holding the snarling raptor back was Vegeta's arm around her collar.

"Uhh … Bulma was really upset and wanted to know why you were ignoring her"

"Well, you heard everything"

"You don't have to be scared Geta"

"You were"

"No I wasn't!"

"You're harpy told me all about her pregnancy!"

"Okay … so maybe I was a little scared"

"She told me you didn't come home for the entire pregnancy"

"Well … maybe a little more than a little scared"

"And how you screamed like a woman during the birth!!!"

At this comment Vegeta burst out laughing picturing Goku, the big tough super Saiyan blubbering like a baby.

"FINE!" Goku cried "I was terrified!"

"Then how can you tell me not to be???"

"Because Chichi was happy to be alone throughout her pregnancy, but Bulma's heart is breaking without you!"

"And what if I try to hurt her again?"

"I'll be there to stop you"

"You don't live with us Kakarot!"

"Now I do! Bulma invited ALL of the gang to stay until the birth was over!"

"Oh dear God no…"

Back in CC a few minutes later

"Hi guys!" Goku greeted as always with his trademark Son grin "Lookie who I found!"

Bulma turned towards the doorway and smile when Vegeta walked through.

"Hi woman"

"Hi Geta"

All of the Z Warriors silently crept out as Vegeta began to give excuses to why he had been ignoring her.

That night

Vegeta turned over in bed for the fifth time in the last minute and Bulma sighed.

"Is there something wrong Geta?"

"I don't know … I feel strange … kind of like I'm missing something"

"Do you want o get up?"

"No … you need your sleep"

Suddenly Vegeta's head shot and Bulma looked at him concerned.

"What's wrong Geta? Is it the baby?"

"No, well not our anyway" he relied climbing out of bed

Bulma took in the words that Vegeta had just said and smiled. She then followed his lead and climbed out of bed to put some clothes on.

"Woman!" Vegeta protested "What are you doing? You need to rest!"

"Are you kidding me?" Bulma replied "I'm not missing this!"

Vegeta smiled as he finished getting dressed and patiently waited for Bulma. When she was finished, they crept through the hallways and out into the backyard.

Vegeta called Rappy and Fluffy out and grabbed the eggs. They all then made their way to the living room and stared at the eggs as they started to twitch.

Several minutes passed with no action and so they all leaned in closer to one particular egg that had moved the most. The room fell silent apart from the breathing of its occupants when all of a sudden the egg burst open surprising all of the watchers and causing them all to fall over. Vegeta was the first to jump up and spot the tiny raptor that was now sitting in the bottom half of the egg shell, and Rappy was next who proceeded to clean the hatchling.

Fluffy watched in awe as one after another, all of the eggs hatched to reveal little raptors. After about 10 minutes, the final egg had hatched and the first of the 5 hatchling took its first steps towards Fluffy. Fluffy back away slightly as the tiny raptor approached and looked at Vegeta.

"See" Vegeta stated "Now you know how I feel!"

Next Morning

All of the Z Warriors piled down the stairs for breakfast but suddenly stopped at a snarling Vegeta and two snarling raptors.

"Uhh … problem Vegeta?" Piccolo asked

Vegeta pointed towards the floor where all of the baby raptors were running around and glared.

"Watch where you're stepping" he warned "You step on them, I'll step on you!"

"Grrooaarrr" the raptors piped in

All of the Z Warriors carefully made their way to the table and sat down. Bunny brought out their breakfast and they all ate in silence. Krillen who had been watching a TV above the kitchen table was suddenly snapped out of his trance when he heard a roar of laughter. He looked at the Z Warriors who were all pointing and laughing at him and then to his lap where a baby raptor was scarfing down his breakfast.

"Aww man!" he complained

"Guess you'll have to eat quicker next time buddy!" Goku laughed

3 Nights Later

Bulma shifted in bed as the pain in her stomach grew. Vegeta was snoring lightly next to her and she didn't want to wake him, but the pain was getting too bad.

"Geta?" she whispered

Vegeta rolled over onto his side so that eh was facing her and draped an arm round her waste. His eyes were still closed but he did respond.

"Mmm?"

"I-I think it's time"

Vegeta's eyes shot open and though Bulma new he was slightly panicked, he didn't show it.

"Uh, I'll go wake harpy and Kakarot and you just wait here, I'll be back in a flash!"

Bulma sighed as Vegeta rushed out of the room and looked at her stomach in anticipation.

"I hope he hurries" she moaned as another wave of pain rushed through her body.

TBC
