Really long wait I know, I've been busy with vet school and life and what not. Anyhow I hope you guys like this chapter. this is the third copy of this chapter I had wrote it two other times but my computer kept crashing. I liked the first draft of it the best but I cant really remember what was all in it. so I kind of rewrote number two and shortened it up a bit. Enjoy :)
Lucy's POV
"Good morning" I said when I opened my eyes seeing Frieza sitting at his desk typing away. He grumbled as a reply. "I think I maybe want some breakfast." I said rubbing my eyes sleepily. "You're hungry are you?" He asked and I nodded. "Throw something on and I'll take you." He said. "Ok Frieza hold on." I said and threw on a nightdress not wanting to deal with something fancy and Frieza said he didn't care what I wore. Help me carry a few things would you? I'm finally just about caught up." He said. He handing me a small stack of papered and he carried his computer and he lead me down to the dining hall. We sat down and I watch him work for a little bit until he glanced my way with a small smirk. "Would you like to help me?" He asked. "I'd love to Frieza." I said. "Splendid, here organize these like last time." He said. "Frieza really must you treat her like a slave?" His mother's voice echoed through the vast room. "I am not treating her like a slave." Frieza said. "Please that type of work is for people you scare into doing it not a Princess." "I like helping Frieza." I said. "Of course you do Lucy." She said. "Do it yourself Frieza." She said and it hurt my feelings. "Leave me alone mother I am a grown man." Frieza said I could tell he was getting mad. "Please far from it, you are just a boy that was given too much power at a young age." She said. "Shut up mother stop trying to embarrass me in front of Lucy." He said looking up from his work. "Please spare me your whining Frieza." She said. "Fuck off, go bother someone else." He said after he said that the large door shut and Frieza sighed. "Happy now?" He asked and his mother smirked before walking over to her seat. I heard the footsteps of Frieza's father approach and stop behind Frieza. I watched him lift his hand and strike the back of Frieza's head. I put my hand on my mouth and quickly began caressing him. "Frieza my love are you ok, does it hurt terribly?" I asked as he looked madder than I have ever seen him his teeth were bared and his fists were clenched so tightly they were glowing a dark pink. "Please don't be mad at Frieza!" I said loudly looking at his father. "It was my fault I should have stopped helping him when the Queen asked me to I should be punished n-" Frieza put his hand over my mouth roughly. "Shush it Lucy" He whispered franticly in my ear. I reached up and touched his hand tenderly. Suddenly I felt a pain in me that made me jump. When Frieza pulled his hand away I put my hand on my stomach where the pain was. "Frieza I don't feel so good." I said grabbing his arm as another wave of pain hit me. "Oow!" I exclaimed "Hey whoa, what's wrong?" Frieza said grabbing ahold of me gently. I felt warmth going down my legs and I looked down. "Frieza what's wrong?" I asked. I looked like water mixed with blood. The fact that he didn't answer and the look of fear on his face terrified me.
"Frieza what is it?" His mother asked. "She's in labor." Frieza said after a brief pause. "W-what then why are you still sitting there? Take her to the medical wing!" She said. "R-right, come here Lucy." Frieza said standing up and lifting me up bridal style. "I'll be there in a moment." His mother called after us. "Frieza what's labor? Am I in trouble?" I asked tugging his armor. "Labor means the baby is coming." He said plainly. Frieza seemed to be in shock. "R-really, I get to meet Kuriza today?" I asked excitedly. More pain came and I dug my nails into his arm. We entered a door and then another. "Lord Frieza" A man said bowing lowly to Frieza. "The Princess is she ill?" He asked. "No she's in labor." Frieza said. "Fantastic!" He said. "The little Lord will be born today!" He said. "I won't let you down Lord Frieza! Please follow me." He said and Frieza followed him into a room. "Lay her down here on this bed please my Lord." Frieza laid me on the bed and the doctor checked my heart beat and then stuck some things to my chest. "Alright, now your majesty you are welcome to stay in here with her as long as you like." He said to Frieza. "Right I will be staying." Frieza said he seemed to be back to his normal self. "Wait I almost forgot will she be needing something for the pain?" He asked. I looked to Frieza said instantly after he spoke. "She's defiantly going to need it." "Yes my Lord." He said. "I will return shortly to see if she is dilated." He said and left the room. "Are you excited?" He asked. "Yeah, but I'm a little scared too." I said laying my hand on my stomach. "You're a month early Lucy, it was all that stress I told you to relax and let me handle everything for a reason." He said and I nodded at his words. "I know Frieza; I just can't help it I always worry." I said. "Yes I know one of the many things I adore about you." Frieza said and I smiled to him. Frieza's mother entered the room and smiled at me and glared at Frieza. "How are you doing little Princess?" She asked approaching the bed I was lying on. "She's fine mother." Frieza answered taking a few steps closer to me. I could tell they were going to get into another argument so I decided to step in. "Frieza I'm cold." I said taking ahold of his arm. "I'll go get you another blanket dear." His mother said and left the room. "Are you going to stay in here with me the whole time?" I asked. "I'm not sure who plans on keeping me out." Frieza said jokingly making me smile again. I was going to ask him if he knew what t felt like but before I could the door opened and the doctor entered again. "Ok let's see." He said. "You're early?" He asked. "N-not very." I said. "Oh never you mind My Lady, Ice-jin's are born fighters; why even our Prince here was born two months early." He said. The thought comforted me that Frieza was earlier than our baby would be and Frieza turned out just perfect I wouldn't change one single thing about him.
"Alright now I just need to see if you are dilated, and ready to start pushing." The doctor said. I laid down and felt a blush trickle across my face. This was embarrassing the only two boys who have ever seen me naked were Frieza and Malaka…I really didn't want to add another one to the list. "Ok let's see." The doctor said and I felt him take off my panties and I looked at Frieza who was watching the doctor like a hawk. I opened my legs like I knew I was supposed to and he looked at me for a moment and then clapped his hands together and stood up. "I'd say she's ready. That kids wants out of there and out now." He said with a smile that made be blush. It could be just because I'm in love with Frieza but I like ice-jin boys they all seemed so cool and refined. If only in knew that before I met Frieza it would have been so much easier for me to accept his small gestures of kindness towards me. I remember Frieza's mother saying that it was unnatural to have an attraction to their race but I couldn't see the difference at all between Ice-jins and Arisians, except the tempers but then again my mother was always hot headed too. I would almost call the Ice-jin race pretty, even the men seemed to sparkle with elegance and soon I would have one of my own. I must have still been blushing at the doctor because Frieza let out a small sigh. I jumped to his attention and turned my head to face him. "I wasn't thinking anything I promise!" I said "I never said you were..." He said tonelessly. I realized my legs were still open to the man and I quickly shut them. "I-I'm sorry Lord Frieza!" I said sitting up. "Stop panicking, that's what got you into this mess today." He said coolly. I was happy he wasn't mad at me but he seemed irritated. But I can see why our baby wasn't due until next month we weren't ready yet I haven't even gotten him any clothes to wear, and he doesn't have a crib or bottles... I reached forward and grabbed his hand and he pulled away from the doctor who was now telling him something intently. "It's ok Frieza…I'm worried too." I said and gave me a half smirk before turning back to the doctor who I was now listening to as well. "Like I have said my Lord, since it's against the law for our race to be with a member of another…I'm not sure how this delivery will play out." the doctor spoke seriously. "Meaning…" Frieza said urging him to continue. "Right, well…It's possible she…well that the princess won't make it through." He said and I felt like someone threw a bucket of cold water on my face where Frieza's expression remained unchanged. "If you value your life you'll have to make sure that doesn't happen then now won't you?" I couldn't tell if that was a question or a demand but it made me feel better anyway. "I assure you my Lord we will all be working tirelessly to make sure she is perfectly fine, I do need to speak with you in private though my Lord…" The doctor said glancing to me uncomfortably. "Let's step outside then, mother if you plan on metaling around at least make yourself useful and keep her company." He said as she entered the room again holding a blanket against her chest. She gritted her teeth at him and held her tongue as she walked over to me taking Frieza's place. "T-the doctor said I could get hurt…" I said once the door shut. "Sweetie it's child birth, it would be a miracle if you came out of this unhurt." She said draping the blanked over my body. "Sorry for that incident this morning…that boy had it coming." She said with a smile that I could tell was forced but I repaid it with a real one.
Frieza's POV
"I-I trust you know why I brought you out here?" Lucy's doctor asked. "I think I have some form of an idea, but go-ahead and ask it any way." I said. "If it comes down to it and we can only save one…which one would you prefer?" The question didn't shock me I was expecting it; I have pondered it many times on my own. "Without question it would be Lucy." I said without a second thought. I didn't know this kid or really care much to be a father and Lucy is wonderful she is the only person like her in the entire universe I would be stupid to pick a child over her. "But…don't let it come to that…who knows what I'll do when she is unhappy about my decision." I said. "Y-yes Lord Frieza." He said. "I'll do everything in my power." He said. "Good…then this conversation is over. Go get your associates and get this over with so I can get back to work." I said turning around and walking back to the door. My mother gave me an unpleasant look when I entered the room again. I ignored her to the best of my ability and brought my eyes to Lucy "How are you feeling my dear?" I asked forcing a small smile despite what the doctor had just told me, Lucy didn't need to trouble herself anymore. "Ok…I think" She said uncomfortably. "That's the sprit, think happy thoughts just like I told you." My mother said laying a hand on her shoulder. "Well, I guess I'll see you when this is all over." She said and left the room. "Don't let her fill your head with nonsense my dear. She's always been a worrier, much like yourself. You're going to be fine, you have my word." I said trying to make her forget how the careless doctor let the news slip to her. "You're right Frieza… I'm just nervous is all, what if he doesn't like me?" She asked "Who are you talking about?" I asked. "Kuriza…what if he doesn't like me?" She asked. I had been so focused of one of them dying I forgot that if the child does live I'll be a father. "It's impossible not to like you girl." I said with a sigh. "That's not true, my parents don't like me." She said. "Well what does that matter? Nobody likes your parents either." I said walking over to stand next to her. "I like them" she said sorrowfully. "I know." I said. "D-do you think…maybe they will come and see him…I'd like them to see him." She said. Of course I knew that they were coming eventually anyway but I couldn't tell Lucy that. "I-I'll see what I can do, if that's what you want." I said forcing a light smile hiding all the stressful secrets away from her. "I would appreciate it." She said. "Then it will be done, just stop being bothered by trivial things my girl, you leave all the worrying to me." I said keeping my fake smile, but she couldn't tell the difference. "Will you hold my hand?" She asked. I let my smile slip away; I have a status to uphold. Showing a tenderness to my fiancée could prove as a weakness and the throne could be passed back to my eldest brother. "Y-you don't have to if you don't want too, I should be ok as long as you stand next to me." She said. "Right" I said. "Unbelievable that even royalty has to wait on the doctor. Don't you think?" I attempted to lighten the mood. Lucy shrugged her shoulders, she had no idea what I was talking about, and the only time she had been to the doctor for something serious was now, unlike myself.
Ending what might have been the last conversation I would ever have with her alone the doctor re-entered the room this time followed by a few others. I glanced to Lucy why took a deep breath. "Can I assist you in removing your clothes my lady?" A nurse with a passable face asked approaching her. "Yes please." Lucy said in her meek voice. I nodded my head at the men staring curiously at my lady to look the other direction. This would most likely be the first time they have seen the naked body of an Arisian or anyone outside our own race. Without a second glance they turned their heads away. When she was stripped of her dress she modestly covered her body with her blanket. They turned back to my girl who seemed pained. "You must have a high tolerance to pain, my lady. You have barely made a sound since you got here." Dr. Morxen said with slight surprise. "I-I'm trying not to cry, Frieza doesn't like it when I cry." She said with a hint of pain in her voice. "Always fretting over me; this one…" I sighed out glancing to her serious and smile free face.
Lucy's POV
I was scared; but Frieza seemed calm and so did everyone else. But this pain it had to mean something was wrong, maybe I'm just being over dramatic but I've never really felt a pain like this just uncomfortable and coming in waves each one worse than the last. Before I knew it they told me I had to start pushing so I did. The pain got worse and worse each second I remember clinging to Frieza's arm who stood over me calm and collect as usual and it made me mad. "Why won't you even look at me?" I cried out through my pain. The room seemed to stop for a second absorbing his reaction. Frieza's red eyes moved to mine slowly, was he...afraid? His eyes would appear calm to anyone else but if they knew him like I did they would know it was laced with fear. "One more big push." The doctor said. "That's what you've been saying!" I screamed. I couldn't help but claw Frieza's skin with my final push. Then in heard the most beautiful sound I have ever heard, a cry. I attempted to lift my head but I felt my eyes closing.
Frieza's POV
"She's losing a lot of blood!" One of the nurses shouted. I glanced down at her dazed expression her eyes fogged I've seen this look many times before, the look of death. "If she dies so do the rest of you! Do I make myself perfectly clear?!" I screamed over the child's wailing letting my anger free. They said nothing but began working quickly. "We need to begin surgery right away. Please my Lord I need to ask you to leave." The doctor instructed. I brushed a sweat covered lock of hair from her face and lightly touched her cheek before exiting the room. My mother quickly ran to meet me, "How are they?" She asked "The boy was rushed from the room to be cared for, he was not breathing correctly." I said spitefully. "What of Lucy?" She asked. "She dying of blood loss." I said scornfully. "I-I see…" My mother said taken back. "Can she be helped?" She asked. "If they value their lives they will bring her back to me." I spat and brushed past her heatedly. I exited the scene all together, Lucy or no there was work to be done. I made my way to the lobby. "Ah my Prince Frieza could I get you some wi-" a man began but I quickly struck him with a blow to the chest impaling him, killing him instantly. I stood there for a moment thinking over my life and what I had done worthwhile. The answer was absolutely nothing; no one was praising my name they prayed for my death and downfall. Now the only person I could truly talk to might very well be dead and I was just ignoring it.
I hesitated and looked to the stairs then behind me and set off in that direction. They needed me the only two things in this universe that truly needed me. "Show me the boy." I said to a nurse who exited the room franticly. "R-right away my Lord." She spoke softly and guided me into a room. "He's in there my Lord, he's doing much better, his breathing is back to normal." She said and closed the door after I gave her a slight nod. I nervously walked over no reason to hide my feeling here in a closed room. I looked down at him he was sleeping soundly tucked in a ball with his tail in hand. His true form was very similar to my own. Instead of purple his primary color was white but had a brownish red secondary. I sighed and looked at the chart next to the child. This was odd it appears his eyes are pale blue. No ice-jin has ever had anything but red eyes, but I guess this is what cross breeding gets you. An ice-jin prince with eyes like his mother, the girls will go crazy for him, not to mention that power level. "My Lord…" the Doctor announced knocking on the door. "Enter." I said turning my back to the child. I observed his blood soaked clothing, "My Lord she will live." He said and an enormous weight was lifted off my shoulders. "Until she receives a blood transplant she will remain unresponsive." He said quickly. "Well what are you waiting for?" I snapped. "I would operate if I could my Lord but she needs blood of her own species, getting her rare blood type could take months and frankly I'm not sure if she will last…" He said I stepped over to him slowly and grasped him by his blood stained coat. "She dies and so do you." I hissed. "There is another option my Prince." He spoke quickly trying to free my hands. "Speak then." I said letting him lose. "It's never been attempted but perhaps I could…give her ice-jin blood." He said. "If she was able to carry an ice-jin child to full term then there should be no reason why the blood would not take." He said. "Use mine." I said quickly. "L-lord Frieza, I'm sure we could find someone of less importance…" He said defensively. "No, I got her into this and I'll get her out, you'll use my blood." I said walking past him.
Now I was sitting next to her semi-lifeless body with a large portion of my blood being pulled from my arm. After what was needed from me was extracted it was hooked up to her veins. "Now all we can do is wait." The doctor said. "What are the chances my blood will give her life?" I asked rudely feeling light headed. "I'm not sure, but to be safe I would hope for a 50/50 chance." He said quietly. "Right, now if that's all she needs then go away." I said. He nodded and left. I glanced to Lucy, "Why am I so stupid…" I said under my breath. She would be dead if we did not hire the best doctors on the planet. I knew the chances of her giving birth to a child of my race and surviving was less than 20%. "My baby…" I heard small and breathless words and jumped to her attention. "F-Frieza" She called in a delusional tone. "I'm right here." I said wobbling as I stood I couldn't help but smile at her. "My Kuriza… is he ok?" She asked. "The child is fine; do you not care to know of the condition of yourself? I almost lost you!" I said raising my voice at her slightly. "Y-you're bandaged… are you ok my love?" She asked touching my arm. I decided to let it go, "I'm fine and so are you." I said. "Can I see him?" She asked looking at me with hopeful eyes. "Sure" I said and composed myself before walking to the door. "She's awake, bring the child." I said opening up the door. "Right away Lord Frieza." A nurse responded.
Lucy's POV
I still couldn't sit up I thought I would be in pain but I couldn't feel a thing. I had a long tube of red attached to my arm and I could feel it moving through me. But all I wanted was my baby. I have waited long enough, a woman brought me a tightly wrapped blue bundle and I weakly reached up my arms. The woman handed him to me. He was absolutely beautiful, his eyes were such a light blue but other than that he looked exactly like Frieza. "Frieza, come here look." I said finding it difficult it talk. Frieza walked over looking proud, "Isn't he wonderful?" I asked. "Yes, yes he's spectacular." He said back to his regular self. "Can I feed him?" I asked the nurse who handed me the bottle. "We waited Miss; a mother should always be the first to feed her child." She said. "Oh no, you let my sweet boy go hungry" I said popping the bottle in his mouth and he began sucking quickly. "He's perfect." I muttered to a nervous looking Frieza. "Hm, we will see with time I suppose, before I decide on how 'perfect' he is I shall have to view his fighting skills." He said; I expected some sort of stuffy answer so I didn't really say anything after. I counted all ten of his fingers and all six of his toes. "Mommy loves you." I whispered quietly into his ear as he eagerly drank away. "Are you sure you feel alright Lucy, you know you went through some serious surgery." Frieza said inching closer to me and lowering his voice, most likely trying to hide his concern from the doctors and nurses in the room. "Frieza I feel fine." I said. "My Lord Don't be too worried about her not feeling a thing. We have her on some pretty high pain killers." The doctor said. "What happened to your arm Frieza?" I asked looking at the bloody bandage wrapped tightly in the same place where the tube entered mine. "Nothing, nothing at all." He said taking the bandage off and tossing it to the floor. "That's good." I said looking back to my new bundle.
"Frieza, I'm tired." I said when my eyes started to grow heavy after Kuriza had fallen asleep in my arms after his belly was full. "Oh? Well then…I'll prepare for you to be transported to my room, no point on you staying here out of my sights while you recover." He said wisely. "Ok, thank you." I said and kissed my sweet baby boy on his brow. "You!" Frieza said snapping his fingers and pointing at a nurse. "Yes your majesty?" She asked nervously. "I believe you heard what I said previously, I will not be repeating myself." Frieza said in his strong voice. "Right away my Prince." She said in a desperate tone and left the room in a hurry.
"Well now, I suppose that is certainly better than a hospital bed." Frieza said nonchalantly as he entered his room carrying a hand full of papers. "Always work…have you even looked at him yet?" I asked somewhat bitterly. Now that the tube was gone the pain in my wrist was beginning to throb along with my lower regions. "Yes I observed the child." He said sitting down at his desk and began writing away. I stayed silent for a moment and glared at him a bit. "He's your son, not a thing for you to observe." I said touching his sleeping face. "You asked me the question 'have you looked at him.' I answered yes I did. Normally I would engage you in your arguments but I know that you are not yourself, so fighting would be useless, covering no ground; just a lose, lose situation at the moment really." He said smartly not glancing at me once. "You just love to hear your own voice, do you know how annoying it gets to hear you ramble on and on?" I questioned rather loudly. "Hm…I guess you're right I rather enjoy the sound of my thoughts echoing throughout a room, and then have someone complete the very thing I requested, could be annoying to some I would think, not to you though. You're simply lying to yourself." He said and I rolled my eyes. "How can anyone be this full of themselves?" I questioned out loud. "Well, I'm engaged to an extravagantly beautiful woman, my son's power already exceeds my most loyal of subjects, I rule most of the known Northern Galaxy, and on top of it all I'm not bad looking either." He said and through my pain I couldn't help but giggle. "You disagree?" He asked with a sly smile. "I'm not that pretty, besides you're better than 'not bad looking'." I said making his smirk grow. "You're mood swings are putting me on the edge of my seat girl, first I'm annoying and now I'm attractive? Make up your mind would you." He said plainly. "You can be both." I said. "Impossible, annoyance and attractiveness are polar opposites. I detest annoyance, much why I prefer my shy little woman compared, to a loud mouthed fighter." He said with confidence. I had his full attention now. "You're right…again." I sighed. In pain or not I still found him unbelievably charming. "You're not annoying, just frustrating" I said with a blush. "That's better; I'll give you that one." He said tapping his pin on his desk and then went back to his work. "I'm hungry, when can I eat?" I asked hopeful. "You just say when you want to eat. It's not good for you to be going back and forth in your condition; I'll have it sent up." Frieza said. "Al…alright Frieza, but when do you think I can? I'd like to eat with everyone. It's a nice change from eating in my room all the time you know?" I said and he glanced up at me. "Don't think about your past, it's over, you'll never be treated poorly again. As soon as you can walk without pain you can dine with the others but until then, you and I will be sort of isolated up here for a while." He said. "Don't forget number three." I said raising him slightly causing him to stir. "Trust me I won't forget." He said.
