Meeting Mama

"Thank you for all of your lovely reviews! Here's a new chapter"

Disclaimer brought to you by my friend Nate!

"She doesn't own anything related to Dragon Ball Z except her OC Elizabeth" looks toward me. "Did I do that right?"

"Yeah that was great, now can you help me with the damned math homework?" I look annoyed and cross my arms over my chest.

"Yes I will, but could you please not curse" he asks intently.

"Fine. Anyway, on with the new chappie!"

Early one morning, Elizabeth woke up and began to couch, covering her mouth with her little hands.

"Are you okay?" her father asked, by her side in seconds. She felt dizzy and lightheaded.

"No, my head feels fuzzy" she said as she laid her head back down on the pillow. Trunks flipped her hands over and saw they had little spatters of blood on them. He sighed and placed the back of his hand on her forehead.

"You're burning up" he mumbled as he pulled his hand out. She crawled into his arms and cuddled up to him.

"Daddy, I don't feel good" she said against his chest. He rubbed her back.

"I'll go see if I can find some medicine" he said as he began to lift her up and lay her back down. She whined and held him tighter.

"Carry me" she pleaded. He sighed, lifted her up and carried her to the bathroom, where he looked in the small medicine cabinet.

"Um, let's see. Aspirin, Motrin, Zertec…" Trunks said as he looked over the contents of the cabinet. "There's a thermometer here" he mumbled as he carried her back to bed.

"Daddy, I want you to stay with me" she whined as tears filled her big blue eyes. Her tanned skin was flushed with fever and her long curls were messy and tangled. She looked up at him and gave him the Elizabeth StareTM, which he couldn't resist. He nodded and sat down.

"Open mouth" he told her. She did as she was told and opened her mouth wide, and he placed the thermometer under her tongue.

"Don't move around okay" he told her. "I'll make you some soup and see if I can find you some orange juice" her father said as he laid her down. She nodded as he tucked the blankets around her and she closed her eyes.

Elizabeth's Dream

"You're the one we've heard about?" a man who resembled her grandfather said, his arms were crossed over his chest and a stern look fell across his face.

"Who are you and where are we?" she asked as she looked around. Her own boldness startled her.

"This is the Royal Palace on planet Vegeta and I am your great-grandfather, King Vegeta" he explained. She smiled brightly.

"Holy crap! Papa told me about this place" she said as she looked around. "How did I get here?" she questioned. "And am I dead?"

"You are dreaming and you are not dead" he replied, answering his questions. Randomly, a lady with long red curls walked up behind the king and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Who are you?" she asked the lady.

"I am Haruka, your mother" she said. Elizabeth smiled and gaped at the women in front of her.

"Wow! You're so pretty! I hope to be as pretty as you one day" the little girl said hopefully.

"There is something important I must tell you child" she said as she crouched down to Elizabeth's level and took the toddler's smaller hands in her own.

"What is it mommy?" she asked, always wanting to say that.

"When you exit this Chamber, there is something you must do" her mother explained. Elizabeth's face turned serious as she nodded. "You were born for two reasons. One, you were to be your 'father's' guardian angel and you were meant to protect Prince Vegeta" she said. The girl looked confused.

"Wait! Both daddy and Papa are much stronger than me! Why would I need to protect them?" she asked as she cocked her head to the side slightly.

"You have a power hidden deeply in here" her mother said as she placed a finger over the girl's heart.

"Really?" she asked smiling happily. Her mother nodded.

"This power was awarded to you so you could protect them" she told her. Elizabeth looked confused. "I am not sure if the power will remain with you after your job is complete."

"Oh…how do I get the power out?" the toddler asked curiously. Her grandfather smirked and came over to the two.

"The power will come when it is needed most" he informed her.

"Wow! How cool!" Elizabeth said bouncing from foot to foot in excitement. The duo smiled softly as they looked at her.

"Now, it is your responsibility to not tell your father or grandfather. Am I clear?" King Vegeta asked. She nodded vigorously as he placed a hand on her head.

"But, can I ask why?" she asked.

"If they knew, they might not allow you to fight or something" the King tried to explain.

"What he means to say is we are not sure how they might react to such a thing. This power is not gained, it is granted so it cannot be worked out" her mother reminded her.

"Another question, you and daddy dated?" she asked curiously, causing Haruka to blush.

"No sweetheart, uh how do I explain this? Trunks is you father because he swapped my DNA with mine and your other father's. I am still technically your mother because I birthed you" Haruka struggled to explain. Elizabeth cocked her head to the side for a moment before smiling brightly.

"So that means I have two daddies and a mommy?" she asked. Her mother nodded and placed a hand behind her head before laughing.

"Sure, good enough" her mother said, causing both mother and daughter to laugh. The two began to catch up, as their time for departure arrived.

"Haruka" King Vegeta called in his deep voice. The two looked up curiously. "It is time for us to depart" he informed them. Elizabeth immediately looked sad.

"Do you have to go?" the little girl asked. Haruka's face saddened.

"Yes we do" she mumbled as she pulled her daughter into a hug.

"I'll miss you mommy" the girl whispered as tears came into her eyes. With a kiss on her mother's cheek the young girl stood up.

"But you just met me" her mother added as she patted the little girl's head.

"I know I'll miss you though" she said with a sad smile. The two adults looked at each other before they disappeared. Elizabeth blinked twice and realized she was still in bed, heavily tucked under the some blankets.

"Good you're awake. How do you feel?" her father asked as he entered the room. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair.

"Better" she mumbled as she stared down at the blanket. Her father brought her soup and sat next to her as she ate it. He patted her back and she sighed.

"We'll be leaving the chamber soon. Then me and your grandfather can kill those incessant androids and Cell" he informed her. She nodded, a spoon sticking out of her mouth.

"Cool! I'm so ready" she said getting riled up.

"You're not going" he informed her. Her face instantly fell.

"What?! Why not?" she asked.

"I don't want you hurt and I need you to stay here with the others and keep watch" he said, looking serious. She knew there was no arguing with him at this point. With a sigh, she took another spoonful of soup.

"Okay, I have a proposal" her father said, making her look up from the warm bowl in her hands.

"What's a proposaly thingy?" she asked, placing the spoon back down.

"It's an offer. If we need help with anything, I promise you can help out. But if we don't then you don't move from this tower. Okay?" he asked her. Her face lit up a bit as her tail wagged.

"Okay then!" she replied with a happy smile. Trunks smiled, himself ready and waiting for the fight.
