Many words later he had explained his plan and she had closed her eyes the entire time, processing the information as he gave it her. They all, but Cellina, took a deep breath and waited.
"I will do it." Both Lord and Prince Vegeta were shocked by her instant willingness to assist in this mission. "I will leave tomorrow."
"But Princess?"
"Father, Sire. Please, I have made my decision. I am a Princess. My duty is to do whatever is required to serve and protect them. No matter what dimension they are in. I will not let this Tyrant and his Kin destroy our race in yet another dimension. Not again."
"I will not let you go."
"yes you will. I will go no matter what you say. I have never asked you anything. Never, I ask you now. I wish as my only request from you, to let me save our people. Let me save her."
"What? Her?"
"My grandmother, let me save her. This is your second chance. This time you will do something to save her. Let me go and save her." there was a long, harsh silence between them. Lord Vegeta however broke the silence.
"I will return tomorrow morning. Pack heavy. All your ceremonial dresses and plenty of underwear and lots of spandex under suits. You will need them. Do not take any technology or toiletries; they will be supplied for you and as for womanly needs. You will not need them anymore. Humans may have periods but Saiyans do not. Only night wear and underwear. Be ready for me at 8:00 sharp tomorrow morning. I will not want to wait any longer. My absence will have already caused enough suspicion by then." He left leaving the father and daughter to stare at each other. Vegeta finally spoke after what seemed like hours.
"You will need some food. I will bring you something. Once you are fed, pack. Then sleep." Vegeta quickly vanished and returned with a tray of fruits, pastries, meat and other various food that were not cooked. "Eat up. I will help you pack." Cellina ate her fill and silently packed her things into large bags with her father, telling her where to put things. Once done, Vegeta ordered her to sleep, as she would need it.
"Father, thanks you."
"Hn!"
"Wait!" Vegeta uncrossed his arms and turned to face his daughter. She looked close to tears. "I will probably not see you for a long time after I go."
"No, you could be gone from months to...years."
"Then stay with me." She moved under the quilt of her bed and motioned for her father to lie next to her. "Hold me like you used to when the woman wasn't here. Like you're little girl. Please." She looked onto him desperately. He melted and left. Before she started to cry he returned in his night boxers. He got under the quilt and held her like a baby in his muscular arms. This could be the last time he would hold her. He may never see her again after tomorrow. He wasn't about to deny her this little request of him loving her like the father he was.
"I love you father, I will never forget you."
"I love you too. I will never forget you either." He fought back the temptation to cry and stayed strong for his already emotional daughter. No matter what his feelings were at that moment, he would not make her cry. He waited until her heart rate and her breathing slowed to her sleeping rate and whispered in her ear. "Be safe my darling, take care and please be careful. I would die if I lost you too." Now he allowed his sorrowful tears flow down his cheeks, silently onto her back. "I love you..."
