Chapter 11 – Accident
:...Flashback…:
It was seven in the morning, and Caroline was already awake. She was now two months, almost three months, pregnant. She sat up on her bed, smiling, and rubbing her ever so slowly growing tummy. She started humming a soft tune. Although she hated the father of her unborn child, the child has done nothing wrong. The baby was innocent, and she believed she could bring up the child on her own without giving the child any desire to fight or follow in its father's footsteps. It wasn't just Frieza's baby, it was hers too.
"Someday…you will understand…In God's whole plan…and what he does to you...Oh but maybe…someday you will breathe…and you'll finally see…you'll see it all in your baby…" She sang. She then got up and got ready for the day.
Round about midday she was out in the palace garden. She trees were high with the sun's rays shining through. The autumn leaves were gathered on the floor and were hard and crisp. The cold air swayed her hair to and fro, but the bitter weather didn't bother her; she just sat on the bench rubbing her tummy. Being pregnant changed her completely; she wanted this baby now, and she had already told the three Saiyans she wanted them to help her with the child whenever they had time. She started to hum again, when she was interrupted by someone coughing. She looked up and saw Vegeta in his usual spandex, white armour and gloves and boots. He sat down next to her.
"Has Frieza been doing anything?" He asked. Caroline continued to smile and rub her belly as she shook her head.
"Good. Have you found out the gender yet?"
"I'm only eight weeks. You can't really find out the gender until eleven weeks onwards." She replied airily, as her hand did not leave her stomach.
"Looking forward to it?"
"I am actually. It's weird how being pregnant's changed me. I want this baby now, you know that. The baby is Frieza's as much as it is mine so there's no way he can take it away fro me. The baby needs a mother."
Vegeta nodded his head.
"What's it like?" He asked. "Can you feel it?"
"Not yet, the baby is too small to move. Once my stomach gets really big that's when it'll start to move about. Vegeta?"
"Hm?"
"Will you be there for me? When I'm in labour?"
Vegeta stared at her for a while.
"Well…um…I'm not sure if I'm a … baby-type…person…"
"Oh, please be there. Nappa and Raditz can come if they like. It's just…I want someone I know and trust to be there with me. I'd ask my family instead but…after what Frieza did…it's impossible."
"I'll see if I can. What, with taking over planets and stuff…it depends if I'm there on the day."
"Thanks."
Caroline smiled at him and gripped his hand in gratitude. Vegeta coughed in his throat and pulled his hand away from hers.
"Not the sentimental type?" Caroline asked.
"No."
Caroline grinned, but then her face frowned. She got up to find a small amount of blood on the bench.
"Eww! What happened?" Vegeta asked. "I thought periods didn't happen during pregnancy!"
"They don't…" Caroline whispered. "Oh no…"
"What?"
"Vegeta take me to hospital."
"Why?"
"NOW!" Caroline ordered. Vegeta scooped her up and within minutes they were at the hospital. Caroline jumped down from Vegeta's arms and rubbed her lower back. She was in agony. Vegeta burst through the doors and a frightened doctor jumped.
"P-Prince Vegeta! Can I help?"
"Yes." Caroline said, weakly. "You said I was pregnant!"
"You are, Your Highness."
"I can't be!" She replied, stumbling in. "I've got my period!"
"On very rare occasions Your Highness periods can happen during pregnancy."
"I want you do some tests. Either I am pregnant with my period or I wasn't pregnant at all. Hurry up, I'm in pain!"
The doctor stared at her.
"There is one more suggestion."
"What!" She snapped.
"I believe that there is a possibly that you are indeed losing the baby."
"…what…"
"I think this is a miscarriage."
"No I refuse to believe you. I want this baby!"
"If you are having a miscarriage there is nothing I can do. But, I can arrange some tests to confirm what's going on."
"Good and hurry up!"
The doctor ran off to find some equipment. Caroline leaned against the wall with one hand massaging her lower back.
"Are you ok?"
"No."
The electric doors opened to reveal Zarbon.
"Prince Vegeta! What are you doing here? You are supposed to take off and take over Planet Bratok right now! Nappa and Raditz are waiting for you and – Your Highness?"
"Get lost Zarbon!"
"What's going on?"
The doctor came back and heard the conversation.
"I'm worried she's having a miscarriage, but I need to run some tests to make sure."
"You prick! What did you tell him that for?" Vegeta shouted.
"I'll go get Lord Frieza!" Zarbon informed and he took off.
"No don't! Vegeta fly off after him! Please!"
Caroline was in so much pain and in such a state, even Vegeta couldn't see her like this. His Ki flared up and he whooshed out of the room. Caroline bent over in agony and she spotted a few small puddles of blood on the floor. She was bleeding so much she began to leak.
"I want you to take the advanced pregnancy test again." The doctor said. "You know where the toilets are."
Caroline nodded and took the test from the doctor. She then heard shouts and explosions out in the corridor, and then the doors shattered as a Ki blast destroyed them. Frieza hovered there, his face full of hatred and anger. Zarbon stood behind him holding Vegeta by the arm who looked as if he had just got beaten up by five people.
"I told you not to fight him…" Caroline wailed. "You promised!"
Frieza walked in and saw the blood on the floor.
"What have you done?" He asked icily.
"I have done nothing!" Caroline retorted. "Miscarriages happen by accident!"
"You bitch! You had this all planned!"
"With all due respect Lord Frieza I'm afraid miscarriages can happen at any time during pregnancy."
Frieza growled.
"Take the test and you better be pregnant." He warned. Caroline rushed to the toilets immediately.
She slammed the door shut but she could still hear the conversation going on outside.
"Come here Prince Vegeta I can heal you."
"Stupid monkey he's not worth helping!"
"But Sire he has serious injuries!"
Caroline sat on the toilet, her hands shaking. After doing the business, she continued to listen to the conversation as she waited.
"Sire, what will you do if she's not pregnant?" She heard Zarbon ask.
"Well we'll have to try again won't we! And if she loses it a second time I'm not even sure she's worth having!"
Vegeta responded but his voice was so weak it sounded nothing more than a mumble. Caroline's heart leapt as the bar turned blue.
"NO!" Caroline screamed. A thunder of footsteps could be heard running up to the toilet door.
"What is it Your Highness?" The doctor enquired. Caroline opened the door. She was too shocked and too frightened to even cry. Frieza and Zarbon were also present with the doctor, and she saw Vegeta still huddled on the floor. Trying to be confident, she gave Frieza the blue bar.
"Looks like you're not going to play daddy after all."
Frieza took the bar and inspected it. Everyone in the room could sense Frieza's anger.
SMACK.
Caroline fell on the floor from Frieza's back slap. She rubbed her sore cheek as she looked at Frieza mercilessly.
Two more people entered the room, and Caroline saw it was Nappa and Raditz.
"Vegeta! What happened?"
"Caroline's lost the baby." He said. "And Frieza's pretty mad."
The pair looked up and jumped; they didn't know he was in the room. They stumbled back a bit, but when they noticed Caroline on the floor helpless, their fighting spirit came back.
"You bastard!" Nappa began. "What has she ever done to you? You'll pay for everything you've done to her!"
Vegeta stood up, shaking a little, but also found his will to fight.
"She's done nothing to deserve your torture Frieza! None of us have!"
"And what are you going to do about it?" Frieza said as he smirked. "Are you going to kill me, Vegeta?"
"If that's what it takes, YES!"
"No…" Caroline said weakly, but her words were not heard as the three Saiyans hurdled towards Frieza. Caroline found herself being lifted up.
"If you fight me I'll kill the girl." Frieza threatened, as his left hand was clutched tightly round Caroline's right arm.
The three Saiyans stopped dead.
"Please don't do anything…" She begged.
The three of them obeyed Caroline's pleas.
"Good. Woman, you're coming with me." The Lord said as he dragged Caroline out of them room with him.
"What are you going to do?" She asked, but then remembered what Frieza said earlier:
"Well we'll have to try again won't we! And if she loses it a second time I'm not even sure she's worth having!"
"NO!" Caroline screamed. "Don't do it Frieza! I'm begging you! Please! HELP!"
But Caroline was whooshed off with Frieza before she knew it.
"Caroline!" Vegeta yelled, as he was about to take off after Frieza, but Raditz caught him.
"Vegeta he's too fast! You'll never catch up now! Besides, it's not worth getting hurt more, is it! No offence I know she's your friend and everything but she is probably better off dead anyway!"
Vegeta's turned sharply to face Raditz. He was about to argue with him, but then noticed he was right.
"Maybe." He muttered. He looked at Zarbon who was just leaving the room.
"Prince Vegeta I should really help you with those injuries." The doctor said.
"No. There's no time."
"What do you mean?" Nappa asked.
"I have a plan. Come on you two, follow me."
The three Saiyans flew out of the room.
……………
It had happened again. Frieza left the room to leave Caroline stark naked on her own bed crying to moon.
"You bastard!" She cried weakly between sobs. "You fucking bastard!"
A few minutes had gone by, and someone stepped into the room.
"Caroline?" A gruff voice asked softly. Caroline turned round.
"Vegeta!" She smiled.
"Are you ok?"
"I've been better."
Vegeta walked up to her and put a blanket round her battered and cold body. Caroline collapsed into Vegeta's chest and began to sob loudly.
"It's ok." He said. "We're getting you out of here."
