Author's note: I decided to make the planet Vegeta-sei more like it was in the actual movie Bardock: the father of Goku To make it more compelling to the actual story line of DBZ. Through the first chapters the problems will be mostly revolved around Bardock, Ryanna, Pan and Trunks. The rest will fall in later.

Chapter 3: Rumors and reasons

Ryanna placed her son inside his small crib. He wiggled and laughed making a smile appear on Ryanna's face. She placed a bottle to his mouth and hummed a tune she had been sung to as a child. Damien's eyes began to droop as he listened to the sound of his mother's soft voice. His sucks became smaller and smaller until he finally fell asleep. Stretching her tired arms Ryanna exited the little nursery connected to her chambers. She was in the process of changing when a knock came at her door. With her shirt discarded and her bra exposed she opened the door thinking it was Pan.

"Bardock!" The older saiyan nearly gawked as the young female emerged very exposed. Bardock shook his head and tried to keep his stare off of Ryanna's chest.

"It's... been awhile, angel." Ryanna gave appalled glare.

"It's only been an hour." Bardock walked into the room and shut the door.

"From dinner yes, but before hand I hadn't seen you for two weeks." Ryanna turned to him arms crossed over her chest to protect some of her diginity.

"I think you can survive a couple of weeks without seeing me." As Bardock got closer to her the scowl on Ryanna's face got deeper."I would also like to remind you that I detest being called angel." Bardock smirked.

"But it suits you well." Ryanna rolled her eyes.

"I don't see how. You never change, do you?" Bardock just continued to stare and lightly chuckle."So..." Ryanna turned back to the window. "Are you going to tell me why you're here or am I going to have to throw you out without getting a reason why?" Bardock gave her a small grin and took a couple of steps towards her. Ryanna could feel his stare but continued to gaze out at the stars.

"Honestly I was worried about you." Ryanna wanted to scoff at that. "Plus I wanted to see you without anyone staring at us. You know the rumors they've been spreading."

"You mean the rumors that you're Damien's father?"

"Yes, and the ones where we would sneak off secretly and make love to each other." Ryanna scoffed.

"Or the ones where everyone says you're infatuated with me." Bardock gave her a look. Ryanna didn't like the look one bit.

"Who says it's a rumor?" By now they were only inches apart from each other. Ryanna was speechless but didn't let it show.

"I hate to ruin your deep thought onthis predicament, but coming into my room and giving me midnight visits is not gonna help these rumors. Neither is the fact that we're how many years apart Bardock?" She swallowed a large lump of saliva as those words leaves her mouth. The fact that Bardock was so close to her, and the feeling of his breath on her face didn't help the feeling inside her stomach go away. She watched him shrug.

"Does it matter. We are of saiyan blood born of a race that does not age likely." Ryanna let the scowl come upon her face again. She turned her face to keep his breath off of her face. "Maybe if you tell who the father is, the REAL father, all of the rumors will go away." Ryanna swallowed the sticky liquid inside her mouth again.She closed her eyes tightly and let out a painful breath. Turning back around to Bardock, she gave him a cold stare.

"Get out!" Bardock hadn't moved. His face was close to her. The feeling in Ryanna's stomach got worse, but it soon slipped away as her lips met Bardock's. The fire between them was great. but the awkwardness in the passion was stronger. Both wanted each other, but something was wrong. Ryanna pushed him away and once again sucked in painfully.

"Stop, this isn't right." Bardock looked down and let out a breath he was holding. He looked back into her dark green eyes and unconsciously raised a hand to her face.

"I can't help it. The rumors about me are true. I have been for a long time, angel."He leant down and sucked lightly at her neck. Ryanna's eyes drifted close and her arms lifted up to his spiky mass of hair. Bardock's strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist and his tail found hers. He lightly stroked it causing a small moan from Ryanna. But as Bardock's tongue felt down her shoulder Ryanna snapped back into reality.

"STOP IT!" She pushed back and frowned at him. "I told you this wasn't right. We're hiding too many things from each other, I have a son to look after now, and I'm a warrior, we both are. We can't live like this." Bardock matched her frown and he crossed his arms.

"I would like to know the secrets myself."Ryanna looked up at him. She was slightly shorter than him, but was still able to meet eye to eye with him.

"So that's why you really are here. You were just saying all those things just to get me to tell who Damien's father is!" Bardock shook his head.

"No, I was telling the truth. However, I would also like to know what you're hiding." Ryanna shook her head.

"No Bardock, I won't tell you. It's none of your business." Bardock narrowed his eyes then nodded.

"Fine, I will leave you alone..." He turned to the door. "For now, goodnight angel." As he closed the door Ryanna looked down at her shaking hands.

"I can't tell you. I can't tell anyone."

What is Ryanna hiding? Who IS the father of her baby? Questions, questions, questions, but very few answers. Thing have only just begun. Review!
