Thanks to momocolady, Fallen Angel of Hell, MayMay, Sonar for reviewing.
Princess Jess- I take no offense. I know Zoicite is a dude in the magna but I wanted to keep Zoicite paired with Malachite and I didn't want deal with the "straight is great" people when I began this so I went of the America version and made him a girl.
Damia- Queen of the Gypsi's- I'm still waiting on that update you promised me. ;)
Legolasfan91- There weren't enough Z fighters to be parents so the other scout parents aren't mentioned.
Chapter 12: Start of a New
Vegeta glared at the mark that shown clear on his daughter's skin.
"You bastard!" He shouted before charging Jedite. He pulled back a fist and aimed to punch the blonde square in the face. However Jetta moved in front of Jedite using her body to shield him. Vegeta stopped his attack centimeters from Jetta's face.
"Get out of the way." He ordered.
"No." Jetta shouted back. "I love Jedite with all my heart and I will not let him be taken from me again." Jetta dropped down in fighting stance. "You'll have to get through me first." Vegeta in turn dropped into a similar fighting stance as Jetta.
"I won't hesitate." Vegeta growled at his daughter.
"Stop it. Stop it right now!" Bulma stepped in between them, holding her hands out. "I will not have this in my house. Vegeta, Jetta is a young woman. She can choose who she loves. Don't you dare interfere. And Jetta, you have to realize your father is a stubborn man and he'll do anything to have things his way." Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Bulma.
"Stay out of this woman." He growled. Bulma glared and stood directly in front of Vegeta.
"Don't tell me to stay out of this. You are interfering with the happiness of our children and I want you to stop it right now!" Bulma shouted before wincing in pain. "Ow."
"Mom?" Jetta asked when Bulma placed her hand on her stomach. "Are you okay?"
"Yes honey I'm fine. All of this must have got the baby worked up." Bulma winced again, grabbing the counter top.
"Bulma?" Goku stood next to her and placed a hand on her back as some sort of comfort. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I don't know." Bulma answered truthfully. Jetta turned to Jedite.
"Jedite go get Darien. He's got some medical training. Maybe he'll know what's wrong." Jedite nodded and ran out the door. Goku and Jetta helped Bulma to sit on the sofa. Darien came running in followed by Serena and Jedite.
"How long has this been happening?" Darien knelt next to his mother, looking her over.
"I've been having these pangs all day but they keep getting worse and worse." Bulma said, softly groaning and holding her stomach.
"I think you're in labor." Darien said.
"Labor?" Bulma shook her head. "That's not possible. It's way too early."
"I know Mom but sometimes complications arise and the baby has to be born."
"But the baby hasn't developed enough. There's no way it'll survive." Bulma said frantically.
"There have been premature babies that have survived and this one will too." Darien attempted to calm his mother. "We have to get her to a hospital." He told everyone else.
"Kakarot can you still use instant transmission?" Vegeta asked suddenly. Goku nodded.
"Yes I can."
"Then get her to the hospital. We will fly there."
"Okay." Goku helped Bulma stand up and held her against him placing two fingers on his forehead and disappearing. The rest of the room followed Vegeta and flew to the hospital where they felt Goku's ki. They met Goku outside the emergency room.
"They took her in to get settled." He told them. "I was told to wait out here." Everyone sat in the chairs around, looking anxious. They all stood when a nurse came out.
"Are you the ones with Bulma Briefs?" She asked.
"Yes we are." Darien answered. "What's going on?"
"It appears she has begun feeling contractions. We were about to give her a drug to stop the labor but we prefer someone close to be in with her so she'll be relaxed." The nurse looked at them.
"I'll go in." Vegeta said. "I'm her husband." Darien and Jetta shared a look as the nurse lead Vegeta away.
"He sounded like he actually cared."
"Vegeta does care." Goku said sitting down. "He just doesn't know how to show it. He wasn't raised that way."
"Really?" Jetta sat down with her attention on Goku. "What happened in his past to make him how he is?"
"I don't know if I should tell you." Goku replied. "Shouldn't someone call Trunks and tell him what's going on?"
"We'll go." Serena offered pulling Darien's arm to go with her. Jetta stayed where she was.
"Goku please tell me. I need to know that he was made to be this way and that he's not just a jerk." Jetta pleaded. Goku sighed as he gave in.
He told about the explosion of Planet Vegeta and how Vegeta was left to be raised by the evil tyrant Frieza. Darien and Serena returned around the time Goku reached Vegeta's arrival on Earth. By the end of the story, Jetta and Darien were left speechless.
"Wow." Jetta muttered. "No wonder he is like he is."
"Does this mean you'll give him a chance?" Goku asked.
"I'm not going to let him get away with what he's doing but maybe now I'll have him explain his actions against us." Jetta looked at Darien in agreement.
"Great." Goku exclaimed with a smile. Soon later, Trunks came running in.
"What's happening? Is Mother alright? Is the baby okay? Is it a disease? Is it a disorder? Come on people tell me something." Trunks panted.
"We would if you'd shut up for a moment." Jetta said, smiling at her younger brother's long windedness. Trunks took in a deep breath.
"Okay I'm calm. Now what is going on?" Darien walked up to Trunks.
"Mom went into premature labor. But the doctors are giving her drugs to make it stop." Darien quickly added seeing the horrified look on Trunks' face. Everyone looked to the door when the nurse came back out.
"What happened?" Jetta asked grabbing hold of Jedite's hand for comfort.
"We were able to stop the contractions." A breath of relief fell throughout the entire room. "We want to keep her here a while longer for observation."
"Can we see her?" Darien asked.
"Only family right now but later all of you call see her." Trunks, Jetta and Darien followed the nurse to where Bulma was lying in the hospital bed. Vegeta was sitting next to the bed.
"Hey Mom." Jetta greeted quietly, coming to stand at Bulma's side.
"How are you feeling?" Trunks asked standing next to Vegeta.
"Better now that the contractions have stopped."
"Do they have any idea why they started in the first place?" Darien asked.
"They're guessing the stress I've been under lately reached the baby." Both Darien and Jetta grimaced.
"Sorry Mom." Jetta apologized quietly chewing on her bottom lip. Bulma reached out and laid a hand on Jetta's.
"No honey this isn't your fault. I've been taking on too many projects at Capsule Corp all at once and I knew I shouldn't have." Bulma said gently.
"Still, we didn't help matters." Jetta glanced at Vegeta. "But I don't think we'll have to worry about that much longer." Vegeta made eye contact with his daughter.
"Really?" Bulma questioned, looking between Vegeta and Jetta.
"Maybe." Jetta answered. "Father can I talk to you outside?" Vegeta followed Jetta outside the door. She turned to him and looked him in the eye.
"I'm going to be blunt. I know you weren't raised in the most loving of conditions but the fact that you have three kids and another on the way and you've stayed with Mom all these years shows that you know what it is to love. So why are you so against Darien and Serena and me and Jedite?"
"I'm guessing Kakarot filled you in."
"Yes." Jetta replied nodding her head.
"It's true. I was raised by an evil serpent that continually beat me within inches of my life. But I had a guardian who was supposed to keep that from happening. Just like your guardians are supposed to protect you. But he didn't He just stood by and watched." Vegeta spat out in hatred. So forceful that Jetta flinched and took a step back.
"Then after nearly sixteen years you came back and I find that you're in love with that moron's son." Vegeta shouted.
"So you think that since Nappa failed you that Jedite will fail me." Jetta said calmly thinking. Vegeta stayed silent and looked away. "Jedite will not fail me. I trust him with my life and love him just as much. If you don't trust Jedite then you obviously don't trust me." Jetta turned to walk away but was held back by Vegeta.
"I will not let you be taken from me again." Jetta turned to face him, surprise written on her face. "If Jedite fails to protect you I will kill him."
"Well if I'm dead go ahead and kill him." Jetta said with a smile. "So, why are you so against Darien and Serena?"
"That brat is the spawn of Kakarot. I'll never be happy with that." Vegeta grumbled making Jetta laugh before leading them back to Bulma's room.
Epilogue--
Three months later, Bulma gave birth to a healthy baby girl whom they named Bura(1). Vegeta never really enjoyed Jetta or Darien's choices of mates but he eventually decreased the death threats. He will be walking his daughter down the isle in the double wedding of Darien Briefs to Serena Son and Jedite Masters to Jetta Briefs when Jetta and Serena are finally eighteen.
That's it! It's over! The ending kinda sucked but I am really desperate to end this. I hope you enjoyed it and feel free to leave nice reviews.
(1): I know it's really Bra but I like Bura better.
Sayonara to Family Reunion.--
