-Festival Grounds-

Vegeto and Vegeta both walked around the grounds, ignoring the Saiyans trying to brush against them. So far everything was looking perfect. Well almost prefect, Vegeta was getting angry because he had yet to see his bride. Vegeto sighed as he pet his son's back, smoothing over the midnight blue fur he wore cape he wore. Vegeta sighed as he adjusted the strings of his tunic to let the top fall open.

The prince was dressed to match his bride, he wore the fur kilt like the rest of the men there, but unlike them he was not bare chested and he wore a fur cape rather than wrap the fur like a toga around him. He looked both savage and regal, the air around him screamed of his dominance while his aura commanded attention and respect from those around him. Yes he was truly a leader they would gladly follow into the depths of hell and back.

"Relax, don't get yourself riled up otherwise you'll attract more unwanted attention. Burdock and the others will be here soon. Remember there are those who will try and prevent you from mating with Gohan. He has to forget his humble background, if only for a few hours, to be the princess Vegetasei expects of him." Vegeto said, trying to pacify his son.

"It's not the court I am worried about, father. It's Frieza."

Vegeto gave a mute nod. Ever since Vegeta announced his engagement to Gohan, Frieza has been pursuing him as well. He couldn't count the amount of times he had to step in to prevent the alien from taking the boy or even harming him. It was clear that they were quickly becoming enemies, though they were never allies to begin with. Just dogs that Frieza liked to use at his disposal.

They got to their private box and sat down, to Vegeto's left, on the raised platform, was a throne for Burdock. Vegeta sat in his own throne on a on the lover level of the platform with Gohan's throne to his left as well. The had only to wait for their lovers and then they could relax and enjoy the festival until the finale...

The escort finally arrived at the grounds. They quickly formed their ranks as the group of friends an family got into order under Burdock's careful instruction. On the out sides were the guards a few of them carrying the food then it was Radditzu, Nappa and Chi-Chi on the inner left while on the inner right it was Kakarot, Cornelius and Cayenne in the very center was Burdock and Gohan, though Burdock walked in front of Gohan. This was so no one could see the princess.

As they walked into the grounds, every single head, every single pair of eyes and every single nose turned to the large group that walked in. Murmurs and excited chatter filled the sudden silence as they saw the group walk forward, heading to their spot and wait like the rest of them for the princess to arrive. But while the group moved on by there was this scent...

It was spicy...

Sweet...

Forbidden.

What was that smell!

Chi-Chi could hear the sharp his off air that comes from someone sniffing but she heard it a hundred fold as she looked about without moving her head, Toma held in her arms, looking about in awe to see so many people in one place. Cornelius watched Kakarot's tail, it was tensing and then relaxing, a sure sign that his mate was fighting back the urge to start a brawl just to get these perverts away from their child.

The down side about giving birth, or in Cornelius' case, siring, an Iompróir was that everyone wanted them for their high chase of surviving child birth rather than the average submissive or female. But Kakarot looked even more tense tonight, why he wasn't too sure, but he silently promised himself and Kakarot to keep a close eye on Gohan.

Nappa snarled as he noted the murmurs, picking up things like:

"Who's the bitch?"

"Who, talk about an army, is the one that scent belongs to a whore?"

"Gods above, those third classes have some never using the royal guard like that!"

"Bet the submissive's an ugly ass bitch!"

Ohh what he wouldn't give to smash someone's head into the nearest rock face. His nephew was not a whore nor was he ugly! And how dare they speak that way of his mate's family!

Radditzu wasn't fairing any better, his tail flicked up every now and again because he was tempted to kill the lot of them, but ha to remind himself that once they get to their spot with Vegeto and Vegeta, then the rumors and lies would stop and they could relax a bit.

Gohan was a nervous wreck even if no one could see him, he could feel their eyes on him, he could even hear them, but he forced his feet to keep going, scolded himself for trying to back out and run away. He had put up with it at school, even if the time there had been short, but still the students didn't have any issues insulting him and mocking him. Though, on the other hand, the other Iompróirí seemed to like him.

Pretty soon they got to a large clearing and they went off to the left, he blinked seeing a huge stage and on the other side of it were a few private boxes, one of those boxes held Vegeta. He felt his heart race as he caught the prince rising from his throne and hurrying to meet them. He felt 100x worse now. What if he looked ugly in this dress! What if he wasn't suppose to wear one! And- and-

Calm down! Our mate is not so shallow... He only cares for you and you alone... now stop this foolishness and pay attention he approaches!

He snapped away from his hysterical thoughts to see Vegeta bowing formally, a low sweeping motion as he crossed one arm over his chest while the other went out to the side. Then he knelt on one knee and kissed Burdock's hand in greeting. After that he stood up and Burdock moved aside, bowing his head low as he did so for the prince and princess to finally come face to face.

Gohan blushed as he saw that handsome face he grown use to staring at endlessly, but as he let his eyes wander the figure before him, he felt the blush deepen as he noticed how strongly carved his muscles were, his large built screamed of savagery and dominance. He felt weak in the knees an had this urge to lay on his back and spread his legs wide to him. That last thought made his whole face a deep red color in embarrassment and shame.

Vegeta on the other hand was openly eye raping his blushing bride. He knew Gohan's body was feminine before with noticeable curves, but now that his body set itself up for mating, his curves were more noticeable and looked ready to bend to his will. The royal purple brought out the lily white color of his skin making it ethereal in the moon light. He noticed the cape and the laces keeping the dress closed and his back covered.

'Burdock remembered...' he smirked as he stepped up to his beautiful bride and got down on one knee once more, kissing those long thing fingers and then the back of the hand; the slender wrist.

He slowly made his way back to his feet and up Gohan's arm, kissing his exposed neck, loving the breathy whimper it brought out before kissing him fully on the lips. It was at that moment that everyone broke rank and allowed the gathered crowd to see their Prince kissing his bride.

Gohan was lost in that fiery kiss, the spicy tang of Vegeta's lips driving his mind into muted pleasure as urges and instincts never used until this moment were woken from their slumber to bask in this scorching, yet openly welcomed heat. When Vegeta pulled away, Gohan's lips had swollen a bit and were now a lovely cherry color. Gohan whimpered softly at the lose of those hot lips on his own and opened his eyes to see Vegeta staring into them with such intensity his very core, his inner beast was shaken into a pleasurable submission.

"Come... let's get you seated. You're about to collapse." Vegeta said, softly in his ear, holing his mate close to him, enjoying how perfectly he fit him even if he was much smaller than before.

He wrapped is arm over the lithe waist and took his left hand in his own before they began walking, as the did so he kissed Gohan's hand, front and back, admiring the silky smooth feel of it and praising his bride for his beauty and grace.

No one had said a word no one could think of a negative thing to say now that they had seen the princess to be. A boy so simple and plain, he was strikingly breathtaking! They watched the display before them, many blushing and looking away, a few silently wishing for more. Others jealous of either the prince for getting such an attention grabbing mate or Gohan for getting the most powerful dominant male available.

Burdock had slipped into his throne with Vegeto and both smiled and laughed a little as they watched Vegeta kiss and pretty much molest his bride before everyone. Vegeto had been struck speechless at the first look and now that the were there, he could hardly look away from Gohan's natural beauty and turned to Burdock who had an amused smile on his face. The other Sons sat in their private box, joined by Cayenne Devon and Chi-Chi, with Toma. After that Vegeto stood up and cleared his voice.

"Welcome brother's and sisters! Tonight we celebrate the three moons of Vegetasei as well as mating season!" He called out.

Everyone began cheering and clapping before falling silent with a signal from the king.

"This is a time to come together, to be one in body and with the moons! We are a proud race! We are Saiyans!" He bellowed.

There were roars from the crowds as guards pound their gauntlet covered fists over their breast plates showing their pride to be Saiyans and the best warriors they could be. The cheering died once more as Vegeto then indicated the two before him.

"And tonight, we will also celebrate my son's engagement to his lovely bride!" He called once more, a hand gesturing to Gohan who was sitting as straight as Vegeta, but inside he wanted nothing more than to hide behind the large male.

There was silence at this and Vegeto smirked as he watched the crowd, waiting to see what they would say. Vegeta's face was like stone, you couldn't see what he was thinking, but the glare he was giving them was daring them to speak. Gohan just steadied his breathing as he closed his eyes, waiting for the rebuke sure to come...

Meanwhile in the other private box, Kakarot was trying to thrash against his mate, but Cornelius had an iron grip on him. Radditzu was glowering, making his own mate roll his eyes before he got a brilliant idea. He got up and took Toma from Chi-Chi. She gave him a questioning look and he just smirked as he walked out of the box and set Toma on the floor and knelt down as he steadied the baby on his wobbly legs.

"Toma, climb onto the stage and call Gohan." He told him, sending him out.

Toma nodded his head and he wobbled over to the stage like his daddy had said. Nappa then snuck back in and Chi-Chi gave him a hard glare, wanting to know what he was doing. Radditzu bolted up as did Kakarot to try and go grab Toma, but Nappa caught them both and shook his head.

"Toma knows what to do. Relax."

The glared at him as they slowly sat down to watch what was going...

Gohan looked up as he heard Vegeta's slight intake of breath and saw Toma struggling to climb onto the stage. He managed it after a few flops and sat in the middle of the stage. He looked around, his dark eyes wide with curiosity as well looking for his big cousin. He spotted him standing up next to the seated prince and smiled, waving his hands happily. Gohan quickly moved out of the private box over to the stage. Toma began cheering loudly while many of the small children pushed forward to see the princess.

"Han! Han!" Toma cried as Gohan picked him up and cuddled him close looking around trying to see where his aunt and uncle were.

"Toma... you silly little baby." Gohan sighed as he stood up holding the baby lovingly to his chest.

He looked down when he felt someone tug on his skirt and he knelt down seeing a little girl with two puffy buns on her head. She was holding tightly to her big brother's hand as he looked at him with a glare.

"Yes, little one?" He asked.

"Can you carry me too?" She asked.

Gohan smiled as he reached out with one arm to carefully pick her up and Toma smiled at her as she giggled while her brother pouted. Gohan smiled as he knelt down and sat down and pulled the boy to sit with them. He seemed to brighten up and Gohan then made a silly face that had Toma laughing as the girl giggled.

Everyone was stunned, the children smiled and ran for the stage, cheering that the princess was a nice person and joined them. Gohan smiled and laughed, he forgot about the stares as he picked up the smaller ones and hugged them, kissing their cheeks or foreheads, making faces and sometimes tossing them into the air above his head and catching them again.

Vegeta smiled softly as he got up and made his way to the stage, the children quickly bowed to him as he got tot he stage, but Toma didn't. As soon as he saw Vegeta he began waving his arms to him.

"Han! Han!"

Gohan giggled as he held him out to the prince. Vegeta took him carefully as he knelt down, the children stunned at the baby's blatant disrespect of the Saiyan Prince, but Vegeta didn't seem to mind in the least. He just held the boy over his head and then brought him down as he laughed and then Toma grabbed Gohan's hand with his tail and pulled Vegeta's hand so they could hold hands before he wrapped his tail over both of them.

The other children smiled and passed their tails over the joined hands and over Gohan's back. A sign that Gohan was fertile and would produce many babies. Vegeta could help, but be smug, Gohan would produce the next God and many others for them to love and care for. Gohan blushed as he caught the heated look Vegeta was giving him and smiled softly at him.

The parents finally came out of their stupor seeing the display, the children all passing their tails over Gohan's back, a symbol that he was a fertile male and the ease they felt around proved that this princess would be a capable mother. So they began moving forward, but paused, unsure if the could get their children.

Nappa had a smug smile on his face as he nodded to his mate and his brother to go out there. The two nodded and made their way to the stage. They climbed up and Toma seeing his mommy unwrapped his tail from the joined hands and held his arms up as he cried loudly:

"Mommy!"

Radditzu blinked and then felt hot tears fill his eyes and hugged his son as he heard him cheer mommy over and over again. Kakarot smiled as he knelt beside Gohan and hugged him, whispering that he was proud of him and that he wished him the best for his mating and for any children he bore.

"Thanks mom..." Gohan whispered back hugging his mother back as Radditzu knelt down to hug him while Kakarot shook the prince's hand, tightening his grip in a silent promise of pain and death if he ever hurt his baby before he walked off while Radditzu shook his hand and both him and Toma gave glares that promised the same thing.

At this all the other Saiyans came forward mothers hugged the princess as did the children, wishing him luck as the fathers and dominant males kissed the back of his hand before shaking hands with Vegeta wishing him luck as well. It seems the majority that came up approved of them, though there were a few that just collected their child and ignored the princess in favor of the prince. Gohan didn't let it bother him since the children all hugged him and got a kiss on the cheek or forehead.

Vegeto and Burdock smiled approvingly as they watched this, noting those in the noble ranks who were still against this. Vegeto looked at his mate and kissed his fist seeing the gears working in his mind.

"We'll keep an eye on them, Frieza as well. He's not going to give up that much I can tell you." Vegeto told him.

"Just know that I will murder anyone who harms Gohan."

Vegeto nodded as he stood once more, having taken a seat to wait the rebukes, as Vegeta escorted his happy mate to their seats and sat back down. Vegeto took Burdock's hand and called out once more as everyone looked to him.

"And tonight, I would like to make my second mating known. To everyone. For the last four years, Admiral Son Burdock has been my most trusted adviser and my mate. It was something my late mate had wanted me to do. And it took a while, but I did move on as she asked. Anyone who disapproves will deal with me." He snarled darkly, a ball of Ki forming at will in his open palm to emphasize his point.

Everyone was silent for a moment before cheering, there were a few, 'About time!' shouted at them from their former comrades when they were in the academy and the army. Even Burtus and Bossa were giving them knowing looks as they clapped and snickered.

Burdock rolled his eyes and bellowed:

"SHUT UP!"

And there was stunned silence. He smirked before he turned to Vegeto, who had yet to drop his Ki ball. Vegeto smirked as he threw it up into the air and Burdock shot another one up and it burst into fireworks as Burdock called out:

"Let the Festival begin!"

And with that everyone began to light lanterns, fire pits were lit as music filled the area and laughter and chatter began. Gohan sat on his throne amazed as the stage was filled with Saiyans dancing, even his mother and father were out there.

The deep beating of the drums seemed to release the primal side of everyone as they ground and panted heavily against each other. He blushed catching his father kissing Kakarot hard enough to make his lips bleed as his tail stroked his exposed left leg suggestively. Vegeta blushed as well, thinking that if Kakarot looked hot, then what would his little Brídeach an Gealach Dearg look like. He quickly looked away, bringing up a gloved hand to keep the blood from pouring out of his nose.

Chi-Chi held Toma as she swayed to the strong beat, Toma and a few other children let out musical sounding howls as the adults did the same. Gohan blinked as he heard it, he slowly stood up, the sounds of the howls combined with the music felt like a magic spell had fallen over him as he moved to the stage. As he walked, everyone moved out of the way, bowing deeply to the princess, watching how the moons light made him glow, the enthralling sight was breathtaking as it was bewitching.

Embrace mother, embrace her warmth and shine, Brídeach an Gealach Dearg...
