Labours From Hell
Disclaimer- I don't DBZ, but I recently bought a dbz bank note!
Yet again, sorry for the long wait, but my computers broken down and this is the first chance I've had to write up chapters.
Last Time
"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.
Vegeta had been in the delivery room with Bulma for over 6 hours now and Chichi was starting to get anxious.
"Do you think she's okay Goku?"
"I think she's fine" Goku replied softly "Try not to worry Chi"
"Rrraooaarr?"
"Yeah Fluffy, I think it will be over soon too" Goku replied to the pacing raptor.
It had taken a lot of persuading to get the raptor family into the hospital, but the doctors complied after Bulma had a polite word with them.
Flashback
The medics rushed a wheelchair outside as Bulma's car pulled up outside the hospital. Vegeta had wanted to fly, but Goku soon turned him off that idea by suggesting that the baby might be born during the journey. The imagery for Vegeta wasn't pretty.
The prince had then requested tat Goku use his instant transmission, but Goku had refused saying that it would make all the doctors run away and they needed them for Bulma.
So here he was, the prince of all Saiyans, watching as his wife threw a hissy-fit about the raptors whilst the baby was practically poking his head out!
"Uhh … Bulma?" Vegeta asked timidly … Bulma was scary when she got like this!
"And furthermore! It's not fair! I think-"
"Bulma?"
"…besides, I need the moral support! I …"
"Bulma?"
"WHAT!"
Vegeta flinched and inched closer to his mate
"I think maybe you should go inside, that is, I'm worries that-"
"Worried? You're worried! HA! Like you Vegeta, the great Saiyan prince could EVER be worried!"
Vegeta's head lowered and he returned to his space beside Goku. On any other occasion he would have argued, but not with Bulma in this state and this condition.
"Vegeta-" Goku began, but Vegeta interrupted
"I know Kakarot … hormones … but it still stings"
"She'll regret it"
I know" Vegeta smirked, but Goku could tell it was forced "And then I shall have my revenge!"
Meanwhile, Bulma was at the point of cracking with the doctors.
"I'll tell you what Mrs. Briefs, we'll let the raptors wait outside the delivery room"
"I'll tell you what" Bulma demanded "You let Fluffy and the baby's wait with the family, but Rappy comes with me and Vegeta … … … OR I'LL BUY THIS DAMN HOSPITAL AND TEAR IT DOWN!"
"But-"
"NOW!"
All of the doctors and nurses scurried around and ushered the families inside. The Z Warriors were tough to beat, but the Z Women were invincible!
End Flashback
In the Delivery room
Bulma groaned and glared at Vegeta.
"You. Are. NEVER. Going. Near. Me. AGAIN!" She ground out and Vegeta flinched again.
Rappy crept over to him and licked his hand with a soft growl.
"Yeah Rappy. I know. She doesn't mean it"
Bulma screamed harder on Vegeta's hand and screamed. Vegeta yelped in response and flexed his fingers when she let go again.
"What a grip!" he proclaimed "I didn't know you were that strong!"
"Only when I need to be" she replied softly with a smile
Vegeta rolled his eyes and looked at Rappy.
"We're going to have to do something about these mood swings!"
Rappy snapped at Vegeta's hand and growled as he went to pet her "Grrrrrrr"
"Great!" Vegeta stated sarcastically "Now the women are ganging up on me!"
Three Hours Later
Outside the Delivery Room
Fluffy, Goku and chichi paced up ad down as the Z Warriors watched the doors to the delivery room. Things had been quiet for a while now and everybody tensed. Piccolo's ears perked up and he moved from his position next to Krillen leaning against the delivery room doors. Unfortunately, Krillen got the message to late. The delivery door swung pen full force sending Killen flying unexpectedly straight into Yamcha and Tien. A very exhausted looking Bulma was wheeled out. Goku tried to talk to talk to her, but she was gone before he had the chance. He then turned to a doctor who had a very worried expression on his face.
How did it go?" Goku asked "Is the baby okay?"
"There was a complication" the doctor replied sternly, and all of the Z Warriors held their breath.
"With the baby" the doctor continued, and everybody looked worriedly at each other … even Piccolo!
"What's wrong with him?" Gohan asked
"He…" the doctor started "I don't quite know how to say this"
"What!" Chichi cried
"He… has a tail"
All of a sudden, the Z Warriors let go of the breath they had been holding and relaxed.
"Is that all?" Goku asked grinning
"Well … yes"
"Okay then … can we go in?"
"Uhh … sure, the father is with the baby right now"
Goku walked into the delivery room first to see if Vegeta minded them coming in. when he was sure it was okay, he told the others to join him.
Vegeta was standing over the baby in his cot in silence. Nobody wanted to disturb him so they all just stood and stared until he spoke.
"Why are you all just standing there?" he questioned quietly "You can see him if you want"
They inched closer until the baby was in view and smiled as his little tail twitched every now and then in his sleep.
"What have you decided to call him Geta?" Goku asked
"Well, he certainly isn't a Vegeta!" the prince replied frowning.
He gently laid a hand on his sons head and stroked the soft layer of purple hair.
"I believe we agreed that we would name him after who he looked like more."
"What do you mean?" asked Krillen
"If he looked like me, then he would be Vegeta Junior"
"And if he looked like Bulma?" Tien questioned
"Then we would name him after her father … Trunks I think she said his name was"
"Ohh" they all replied
They all stood there in silence until Vegeta turned around to face Goku. A wide smirk formed on his face and he adopted a rather crazy look about him. Goku looked at him questioningly and then to the hand that Vegeta held behind his back.
"What ya got there Geta?" Goku asked
"Correct me if I am wrong Kakarot, but you do have a fear of needles do you not?"
Goku gulped and began to sweat, for the first time since they arrived, realising where he actually was.
"Uhh … yeah?"
"Well, what would you do if I said that I, the one that is out to cause you intolerable torture, pain and punishment, had a BIG, long, sharp, needle behind my back?"
Goku was out the door before another breath could be taken. Vegeta then sighed contently and removed his hand revealing an empty glove. He then turned to the Z Warriors, smirked and turned back to his son.
"Welcome to the world my son … I can't wait to introduce you to your raptor brothers and sisters!"
All of the Z Warriors sweat-dropped and left Vegeta to get acquainted with his son.
Later that Day
Vegeta crept silently into the room where his mate lay sleeping and sat in the chair next to her bed. His breath caught in his throat when her eyes fluttered open and rested on him.
"Hey Geta" she whispered tiredly "Sorry bout all those mean things I said"
"That's fine"
"How is he?"
"Who? The boy?"
"Yes. Trunks"
"Trunks"
Vegeta let the name roll off his tongue and thought for a moment before replying "Yes. That name will do fine. In response to your earlier enquiry, he is fine"
Bulma giggled at Vegeta formal tone and then sighed. This was going to be a hard journey in convincing Vegeta to be the daddy that Trunks would need.
"You better not ignore him"
"Hn"
"And you better not think I'm gonna do all the work!"
"Hn"
Say 'hn' if you love Goku and wanna have wild passionate sex with him"
"Hn … HUH!"
Bulma burst out laughing at Vegeta's reaction and cuddled him to try and calm him.
This was going to be a VERY tough time ahead.
Not quite the end yet. I think I'll finish it at 10 chapters. What do you think?"
