Disclaimer: My sister and I do not own DBZ
(Piccolo's Point of View)
The two strangers were walking with Goku over to a place where they thought no one could here them. Heh, they didn't go far enough for my hearing.
"So what did you have to tell me?" Goku asked the two strangers. The boy spoke up first.
"My name is Trunks, and this here is Rajin. I know it sounds bizarre, but we are not from your time. We come from the future, twenty years from now." Goku's eyes bugged out of his socket and I myself was amazed at the technology.
The boy continued to speak.
"I'm sure your wondering how we are both super Saiyans when only you, Mindy, Vegeta, and Gohan are Saiyans. Well, here's the thing, Vegeta is my father."
"And Mindy is my mother!" Rajin said and I wanted to collapse to the ground. That would have to make me the father. I could see how the girl resembled me some, with her dark eyes and pointy ears, but I would have never guessed she was my daughter.
She is like the spitting image of Mindy, even dressed like her when she was younger. I looked over at Mindy, and a small smile crept on my lips. We would be able to have a child together. I heard Goku start to laugh at the information.
"Vegeta is a daddy! Ah man, no way! I can't believe it! And Mindy, wow! She is going to be surprised when she finds out!" Goku turned around to look at Mindy, and both of them locked eyes. Mindy raised an eyebrow, silently asking her twin what was happening.
I knew that with her not being over there was eating her alive.
"Piccolo, do you know what's going on?" She asked me, and I tried to keep my face blank. Unfortunately, she saw right through me, and started begging me with those puppy dog eyes.
"Tell me what they are saying!" She demanded, almost stomping her foot on the ground. It took everything within me not to tell her what was happening. Those eyes were going to be the death of me. My best defense was to not look at her, and try to be indifferent.
"Shh Mindy, I'm trying to concentrate." I told her, but I knew that wouldn't placate her for long. After this was over, she was going to force the information out of me somehow. The two kids got back Goku's attention, and mine as well.
"This is not what we came here to tell you. In three years, on May 12th at ten o'clock, these monsters will arrive and destroy the world," Trunks said gravely at the news.
Rajin spoke up after him.
"These monsters are indescribable. They attack with out rhyme or reason. Thousands of lives are taken, and we can't even put a dent in them!" Rajin started powering up, and I was in awe at how strong she was.
A deep pride overwhelmed me at seeing my daughter try to stand up to those things. Trunks put a hand on her shoulder, and she calmed down. When she was composed, she gave Goku a soft smile.
"I'm sorry, but they make me so angry," Goku nodded his head in understanding.
"In our time, people run away from these things. And their creator was none other than Dr. Gero, the same doctor who created the red ribbon army." Trunks said, and Goku looked astonished.
"But how? I defeated Gero!" Rajin shook her head sadly.
"You defeated him, but he still lived. I'm sorry, but you should have killed him why you could. It's probably the only thing you are going to regret." The others in the group were starting to become impatient.
"Well for three people who don't know each other, they sure have a lot to talk about!" Bulma screamed, and I wanted to slap her. She could never shut up.
"What do you think they are talking about?" Yamcha asked, and Mindy started to get irritated.
"Obviously no one has a clue, so stop asking stupid questions!" She screamed at him, and Nail hid behind my leg. He was terrified of his mother, it was also another reason why he didn't want to train with her. I chuckled at the human who's face had paled dramatically.
Mindy saw his scared expression and smirked. She was becoming more like me everyday and I loved her for it.
"We have to fight these Androids all by ourselves, and even with our combined strength, we are no match for them. Their favorite activity is to hunt us down and humiliate us further," both Trunks and Rajin shook in anger. The desperation on their faces was clear to anyone. Goku cocked his head to the side, confused. I was too, how come the rest of us weren't helping them out?
"What about the rest of us? Don't we help out?" Rajin shook her head, and tears formed in her eyes.
"The Earth's special forces die in the fight. Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Vegeta, and my father Piccolo. Gohan and Nail barely survive, but thirteen years later they both get killed. That was four years ago in our time." Her head bowed as the tears flowed.
I wanted to go over there and comfort her, but I didn't know how. Somehow telling her everything was going to be all right didn't seem to cut it. There was something off about the story though. She never said Mindy and Goku died. Goku seemed to speak my thoughts.
"What about Mindy and I? Don't we go into battle?" Trunks decided to speak up since Rajin still hadn't recovered yet.
"Both of you die before the Androids even come. A nasty virus that attacks the heart becomes fatal to you both. Not even a super Saiyan can survive it." My insides clenched at the information. Mindy couldn't die of a virus. That was too weak and pathetic for my mate. I looked over to her in panic, not wanting to lose her.
She seemed to pick up on my distress, and looked over at me curiously.
What's wrong Piccolo? You look like someone had just died. I tried to shake off the enormous feeling of anguish that was pulsing through my body, but nothing worked.
All I could see was Mindy laying down on a bed, too sick to even raise a finger. Mindy became more worried, and started yelling mentally at me.
Green bean! What's the matter, what are they saying over there? I answered her the best I could, not wanting to alarm her too much.
I will tell you later in private. Even my mental voice sounded ragged with fear.
"What? Mindy and I die because of a virus! What a waste! And we don't even get a crack at them!" Both kids seemed shocked at Goku's outburst.
"You're meaning to say that you would still fight them, even after what we told you?" Trunks asked, his mouth gaping in surprise. I wanted to roll my eyes at him. Of course they both would.
"Well, yeah, of course!" Goku replied in his childish way.
"You're not even scared?" Rajin asked incredulously, one eyebrow raised. Goku nodded his head at them, and looked into the distance.
"I'm a little bit afraid, but the challenge is exciting and I know Mindy feels the same way." Rajin looked over to Mindy in awe, and then at me. I caught her eye, and we stared at each other for a while. I felt as if she was rememorizing my whole self, and I committed her to memory too.
"I was never able to talk to my mother. I was only a year old after she got the virus. My father and Nail were devastated, and sometimes dad would call me Mindy because I look so much like her. H-He lost half of himself when she died, and Nail was the one who mostly took care of me. I didn't lose just a mother, I lost a father as well." Rajin told Goku, then continued again.
"Then my only two remaining family get killed also. I went to live with Trunks, and we bonded over our losses." A small smile crept on her lips as she took Trunks's hand. Trunks used his free hand to grab something out of his pocket. Two vials were in his hands, and he threw them at Goku.
Goku caught them, and looked at the vials curiously.
"Take those for your health. It's a cure for the heart virus." My eyes became big when I heard that. Now Mindy didn't have to die.
Happiness coursed through my veins, and I held down the urge to grab Mindy and hold her tight. My mate didn't have to die a weakling death.
"We better go Trunks, your mother must be worried." Trunks nodded at her, but Goku interrupted them.
"Who is your mother Trunks? Do I know her?" Trunks's cheeks started to burn, and he nodded his head. I was curious also at who his mother was.
"Well then who is she?" Trunks pointed over in our group, and it looked like he was pointing to Bulma.
"The only other girl who is in your group." I turned in surprise and looked at both Bulma and Vegeta, seeing now the resemblance Trunks had to them. Goku started laughing again, falling to the ground and holding his sides.
"BULMA! No way! Bulma is your mother?" I had to let out a little chuckle too at the situation.
"Yes, but you can't tell her. If either of them get a whiff of this I might not be born!"
"Please keep it a secret Goku, I can't have Trunks leave too," Rajin asked softly, and Goku went up to her and gave her a hug. I was a little envious that he could comfort her and I could not.
"I wont tell. Thank you both for helping us save our future. No matter where you go I will be with you in spirit. I can't wait till both of you are born in this time!" Goku joked, and the three of them laughed.
"Also Goku, once we leave you can tell my parents that I'm their child. I was um," her cheeks became red then. "Let's just say they had a very fun night last night, and I will be here soon." I myself blushed at the information.
How did she know the exact date of her consummation? They said their good-byes then, and in a blink of an eye, they both had left. Goku walked over to us slowly, and I knew he would have a hard time explaining what happened to everyone else. I looked at Mindy, and I tried to imagine her with a baby inside her. Would she glow with happiness, or would she hate the pain of it all. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. We would get to that road when it came.
(Mindy's Point of View)
Goku came walking back to us and I was impatient to learn about what happened. Waiting that long nearly killed me, and more than a few times did I take a step forward to go there, but then thought better of it.
When Goku was within a few feet of us, I started off the questions.
"So, what did they have to say?" I asked, putting my hands on my hips.
"Yeah, what took you so long Goku?" Bulma repeated, and you could tell she was impatient for answers too.
"Well, uh, nothing really," Goku said, and I wanted to slap him on the back of the head. I knew he was lying instantly, and I walked up to him until I was inches from his face.
"Now you listen to me Goku Son. I know they told you something of importance, and I think everyone has a right to know what they said." I used my most acidly voice to convey my seriousness in the situation.
It still bugged me they chose him instead of me. Goku was starting to sweat, and his expression was terrified. I could hear him gulp, and take a step back from me. Piccolo saved Goku by putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry Mindy, I heard every word they said." My smile was huge, and Goku's whole face was surprised.
"What? How?" He asked Piccolo. Piccolo huffed in annoyance, and rolled his eyes.
"My ears do more than just frame my face." I had to laugh at that because it was true. Piccolo could hear practically anything. Goku's face became scared, and he was looking a little pale. Piccolo seemed to sense his distress.
"I'm not going to say anything that will put your friends in danger. I think everyone should know what is going to happen and change their destinies."
Destinies, what was going to happen? Piccolo started telling us everything they said, and when he was done, I went into shock.
If those kids hadn't come, I would be dead within two years. As the information dug into my brain, I sank to the ground, face going blank. Nail came up beside me, and held my hand.
We didn't say anything, but his presence calmed me. The whole group was in the same state of shock, trying to figure out how not to die with the upcoming Androids. Vegeta snapped out of it first.
"Kakarot, you never did tell us how you escaped Namek," Goku went on with the story about Namek, and I smiled up at him. Now he knew instant transmission as well.
"Goku, we need to create a contest of who can get the coolest stuff from the world." I said while getting up of the ground. Goku grinned, and nodded his head.
"All right, lets go." We both did the move, and I landed in Japan. Specifically in a weapons shop, where the most amazing weapons ever were here. I picked out a silver toned dagger, with a dragon etched into the handle. The dragon looked almost exactly like Shenron, and I put some money on the counter before I teleported back to the group. Goku arrived at the same time, wearing Master Roshi's sunglasses.
"Goku wins!" Krillin said, looking at the glasses with envy. I rolled my eyes at Krillin, and threw the dagger at him. It caught him by the shirt, and it stuck him to the floor. Everyone started laughing, and you could tell Krillin was embarrassed.
"Don't mess with Mindy, Krillin, she could take you out with that thing!" Yamcha joked, and I smiled at him approvingly.
"I say it's a draw. The glasses and the dagger are pretty cool." Tien said, crossing his arms over his chest. He looked amused at our antics.
"Fine fine, it's a draw." I conceded, admitting silently that the glasses were pretty amazing. Vegeta had had enough of our playing, and got back to business.
"Well I'm going to train. Any weakling who doesn't want to can go hide under a rock." He blasted off into the sky before anyone could respond.
"I agree with Vegeta." I said, wanting to get to train to the best of my ability.
"I'm going to train my hardest so I can defeat those Androids. Nothing is going to distract me from my training." Piccolo had a strange look on his face, as if he knew something would distract me. I glared suspiciously at him, but he looked away.
"I'm going to Master Roshi's to train. I will see you guys in three years." Krillin said, taking Master Roshi's glasses with him. Goku looked at me, and a smile formed on his lips.
"I already know who my training partner is. Do I even have to ask twin?" I rolled my eyes, and crossed my arms.
"No you don't twin. How about having Piccolo, Nail, and Gohan join us as well?" I looked over at the three, and they seemed excited to wanting to train with us. Goku turned around to face Yamcha, and asked him a question.
"Do you want to join us also Yamcha?" Yamcha shook his head, almost looking afraid of us.
"No, I can't compete with any of you. Besides, I like training at my own pace." He went to Bulma, and picked her up to take her home. She looked angry about something, but I didn't let it bother me, I was going to be focused. Soon it was only us five in the clearing.
"Well then, lets go home. I'm sure it will be fun seeing you try to convince Chichi that training is more important than studying!" I laughed at Goku's scared expression. I was so watching those two go at it when we got home.
Piccolo and Nail grabbed a hold of me, and Gohan went to his dad. We both instant transmissioned over to Chichi's, and I gave Goku a thumbs up before he went into the house.
I tiptoed my way to the window, and watched as Goku and Gohan tried to convince Chichi to letting us train Gohan.
"No Goku. I will not allow our son to be a savage and fight like you do. His studies are more important." I rolled my eyes, and looked down at Nail.
"Be glad I'm not like this with you," Piccolo and I laughed as Nail nodded enthusiastically in agreement.
"Come on Chichi, we need Gohan. He can help save the Earth!"
"I said NO! What part of that do you not understand?" Chichi yelled at the both of them.
Goku, say 'uh, the no part?' I sent him a message mentally, really wanting to see how this turned out. I watched in anticipation as the words formed on Goku's tongue.
"Uh, the no part?" He asked in a confused matter, and I fell to the ground laughing. Both Nail and Piccolo were also laughing at the trouble Goku was about to get in. I tried to recover quickly so I could see the look on Chichi's face.
As I looked into the window again, I saw that her face was beat red, steam almost coming out of her ears. Finally, she stalked up to Goku, and hit him as hard as she could in the head.
That only resulted in her having her hand broken, and her screaming out in pain. Goku, unsure of what was happening, lightly patted Chichi on the shoulder. The pats were too hard for Chichi, as she went flying threw the house, and landed on a tree.
It was too much. My giggles over took me, and I had tears rolling down my cheeks from laughing so hard. I couldn't breath, and my sides were hurting badly.
"Chichi!" Goku yelled, and tried to help his wife. He got her back inside and wrapped her up.
She had finally agreed to let Gohan train, but he had to back home sometimes. I was still laughing when the two of them came out of the house. Goku's face showed that he knew that I had tricked him, and he looked frustrated at me.
"Mindy, that wasn't very nice. I thought you were helping me out, not getting me into more trouble." My grin was still in place since every time I blinked, Chichi's angry faced popped up.
"I'm sorry, but the opportunity was too good to miss. I mean, did you see her face?" Everyone around me chuckled also, but Goku crossed his arms over his chest.
"Yes, and it was very angry and hurt. Please don't intentionally rile her up. She has been through enough." I scoffed at the last part. She was the one who had begged to marry Goku in the first place, but I let it go. I could tell that Piccolo was ready to get to training.
"Fine twin, I'm sorry. I wont do that to you again." He came to me, and lightly gave me a hug.
"Now, where do we want to train?" Goku asked everyone. I rested my hand on my chin, thinking of places that were deserted.
"How about a desert? No one is ever in a desert." I pitched in, but Piccolo shook his head.
"Not enough water in a desert. I say we go to the mountains to train." Nail agreed with his father, so I had no choice but to say yes also. Goku and Gohan liked the idea as well, and all five of us were transported to the snowy tops of the mountains.
THREE MONTHS LATER . . .
All five of us had been training at the mountain tops for about three months now, and I was starting to lag.
All too soon was I getting out of breath and having to eat so much more. I was even getting a little fatter, my stomach having a little bump of fat that irritated the crap out of me.
No one else knew about my weight gain, even Piccolo. I had made sure to cut off the connection every time I thought about it. Plus, since we were training so hard, we didn't have much alone time.
I was going to keep this to myself though, and train even harder to get rid of it. Just then, someone threw a snowball at me. I looked around in anger, not finding the culprit.
"Come out now if you know what is good for you!" I yelled out in the darkness, really not wanting to get up off the ground. I had went to sleep earlier than the rest of them, telling everyone that I was extra tired today. No one answered my threat, and I grumpily got up from my spot. Suddenly, another snowball came flying my way, but this time I was quick enough to dodge it.
"That's it! I will get you!" I turned super Saiyan, and flew around above the snow, looking for the snowball thrower. Something suspicious was on the ground a few feet away from where I was flying. It looked like black hair. If Goku and Gohan were playing tricks on me, I was going to kill them.
As fast as I could, I landed on the black object, and found that it was a piece of cloth, designed to look like hair. Rustling came from the bushes, and I turned in time to see both my son and Gohan jokingly come at me. I flared up my Ki, and charged at them. Both of them knew that I was tired, and yet they wanted a piece of me any ways.
As I charged up to Nail, Gohan flew up from under him, and punched me square in the stomach. I automatically threw up, spilling all of my acid up on Nail. Nail screamed in disgust, wiping the vomit off in the snow.
"Ewe, gross mom! Why did you throw up on me?" I didn't pay attention as the pain kept shooting up at me. I fell to my knees, clutching my stomach.
"Aunt Mindy, are you all right? I didn't think I hit you too hard." Gohan came to sit by me, and put a hand on my shoulder. I couldn't even speak because of how much pain I was in. I felt like wailing, but not a single muscle wanted to move. Soon, I was seeing doubles of Gohan.
"Nail! I think you should get Piccolo! Your mom isn't looking too good!" Nail came rushing over to me, still stinking of vomit.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Nail asked in a panic, and four of his hands patted all over my body. I did the best I could, and shook my head.
"I'll be back with dad! Gohan, please stay with her." Both of the Gohan's nodded their head, and I fell sideways into the snow. The cold feeling numbed my pain a bit, and I sighed in relief. My stomach was still killing me when Piccolo and Goku arrived on the scene.
"Mindy!" Piccolo cried, and rushed over to me. He took my hand, and looked at both of the boys.
"What happened?" He asked in a deadly voice. The boys looked down at the ground, ashamed of what they did. Gohan spoke up first.
"We wanted to see how well we were with setting up traps. We both threw snowballs at aunt Mindy, and she followed us into the bushes. When we had her trapped, I pounced on her, and punched her in the stomach."
"Oh Kami," Goku said, as if he had figured out something important. Piccolo sucked in a deep breath, containing whatever anger was in him as best as he could.
"Goku, will you please take them both away before I rip their heads off?" I felt all three of them leave, and Piccolo gently touched my cheek to get my attention.
"I should of told you earlier, but I didn't think it would come on this fast." I was confused, what was he talking about?
"Is this the heart virus?" I asked in a scared tone, but I somehow knew that it wasn't the heart virus. My heart felt fine, it was my stomach that was hurting.
"No, it's not the heart virus," Piccolo took a deep breath before he continued. He looked me in the eyes for a while until he had the courage to speak again.
"Mindy, you're pregnant." Everything went black for a moment as I processed his words. As they dug into my brain, I was making the connections on how he could be right. Me being tired way too soon, the extra eating, and the body weight that I had gained. It made sense now.
As the shock wore away, suspicion replaced it.
"How do you know that? What evidence do you have that makes you think I'm pregnant?" I sat up from the ground, letting the pain recede from my body. Piccolo looked down at the ground bashfully, a slight blush on his cheeks.
"Um, remember the day when those two kids came and defeated Frieza? The girl was our daughter. Her name is Rajin." Pride filled his voice, and I looked at him with an eyebrow raised.
"And how did you figure this out?"
"Well, you see, she told Goku that as of that night, she had already been created so it was all right to tell us. I guess she forgot about my super hearing because I heard every word." Even through the pain, I got up quickly and punched Piccolo in the mouth.
"You mean to tell me that you have known I've been pregnant for three months now, and you thought it would be fine not to tell me!" I screeched at the top of my lungs, and Piccolo got up off the ground too, slowly backing away with his hands shaking in the air.
"No, that's not it at all! There was never a time to tell you, and I figured you would have came to the conclusion sooner or later. I didn't think it would result in you getting hurt!" I blew off his excuses, and stalked him. He kept backing away, and soon we were by the edge of a cliff.
"Stuff it Piccolo! I can't believe you would keep something as big as this away from me! How could you?" He had no where else to back up to, and I got within arms distance to him.
"Go jump off a cliff!" I pushed him over the edge, but I knew that wouldn't delay him for long. With only a few seconds before he would come back, I used instant transmission to Bulma's house. I landed right in her bed, scaring the life out of her.
"AAAHHH! Who's there?" She screamed, rolling out of the bed, and turning on the light. When she noticed me crying, she rushed over to me, and hugged me tightly.
"What happened Mindy?" She asked in a distressed tone, and I spilled my guts out to her, telling her everything Piccolo had told me. When I was done, she went to get me a glass of water, and sat back down on the bed.
"Here, drink." Bulma commanded, and I did as I was told. When I gave her the empty glass, she put in on the dresser by her bed.
"I'm so sorry about what happened Mindy. I can't believe Piccolo didn't tell you earlier! It could of really hurt the baby!" I gasped as I thought about the baby. This whole time I was only thinking about myself, but the baby could be hurt as well. Bulma saw how scared I looked, and took my hand.
"Let's go to the hospital to get you checked out." I nodded to her, grateful that she would be doing this for me.
It was two o'clock in the morning when we got to the hospital, but of course it was opened. Bulma talked to all of the nurses and doctors for me, leaving me be in my own little world.
I could feel Piccolo trying to use our connection to talk to me, well he was more like screaming at me, but I put up a huge barrier. I was too tired and angry to deal with him. A doctor came into my room, holding the results of the many tests that I took.
"Well Mindy, you're lucky you are not a normal human. If that was so, the baby would have been lost. It just so happens that your skin, and the babies skin was hard enough to take the blow, but just barely. Nothing bad seems wrong with the child, but another hit like that could cause damage. Please refrain from fighting until the baby is born." I looked around the room, seeing the different pictures of the human body.
I could of lost my child a couple of hours ago, and then the beautiful Rajin girl would have never been born. A few tears left my eyes at the thought of the little girl not existing. I held on to the little bump of her, and silently promised her I would take care of her no matter what.
I didn't argue with the doctor about the no fighting rule, but I was curious on when the due date was.
"So when do you think she will be born?" I asked him, and he seemed confused.
"The tests showed that the gender was still undecided. Are you wanting a little girl?" I took the excuse, and nodded my head.
"Well, since there is nothing really normal about the two of you, I can say that you only have four months to go. She will start growing quickly as time goes on. I'm guessing she will be born sometime in January." A smile grew on my face at the information. My baby girl would be here soon.
The doctor left, and Bulma came in.
"What did the doctor say?" I told her everything, and she jumped for joy.
"We have so much shopping to do Mindy! We have to get everything for her arrival!" I pulled her into a hug, showing off my gratitude.
"Thanks for letting me stay with you Bulma, you don't know how much I appreciate this." I let go of her, and she looked at me as if she was my mother.
"Mindy, I will always take care of you. I've been doing it since you were little!" We both laughed, and left the hospital. When we got back to her house, dawn was taking over the sky.
"You can have the room across from Vegeta. It's the second best guest room, but it has the best bathroom." She showed me my room, and then searched for clothes I could sleep in.
"I could always teleport to a store and get some clothes," I told her as she was throwing piles of her old clothes all over the floor.
"No Mindy. You need to rest now. The baby has had enough excitement for one day." I wanted to argue, but my belly let out a little wail, and I decided to listen to Bulma.
"Ah ha! Found something!" It was a red night gown, with lace stitched on the end. The gown only went down to mid thigh, and had a plunging neck line.
"Isn't that a little racy?" I asked, not really wanting to wear it. Bulma brushed me off, and threw it on the bed next to me.
"It's only temporary, I'll be going shopping for you tomorrow." Satisfied with her answer, I went into the bathroom to change. I had to admit, it looked pretty nice on me, something Piccolo would love to take . . . No, don't think about Piccolo. Remember that you are mad at him.
I shook off the thought, and came back in the room. Bulma jokingly wolf whistled, and told me to twirl around.
"On second thought, you should probably keep that. It looks amazing on you!" I rolled my eyes at her, and sat down on the bed.
"No one will be seeing me in it any ways, so could I please have something that is less showy?" She clucked her tongue and shook her head.
"Fine Mindy, but I'm telling you, you look spectacular. I will see you in the morning. Mom will make us something for breakfast." She went and turned off the light and left the room. I sat on the bed quietly for a few moments, trying to adjust myself with sleeping alone.
Even when we were training, Piccolo always slept beside me. I was still angry at him, but I wanted him close to me. I crawled under the covers, and hugged a pillow to me as I cried through out the night.
Whoa! Mindy's pregnant! We hoped you enjoyed this chapter! Review please! And also, we would like to thank everybody who had read this story and reviewed. we appericate it!
