HELLO ALL! This is chapter 14 of Their Life! I still own nothing but I would love to! I hope everyone is enjoying this story so far! Sorry it took me so long to update a new chapter.
Inside the training room Vegeta, Goku, Usagi and Gotenks sparred furiously. Usagi and Gotenks dodging one another as they moved quickly. Vegeta and Goku had slowed down to be able to watch their young ones spar. Everything was finally back to normal. Usagi was out of bed and moving around. She could talk and interact with her family. She still felt the pain of the loss but she was trying. Goku turned to Vegeta, a question forming on his lips.
"Hey, Vegeta? Do you think Usagi is really okay? I mean, you think she's just putting up a front for us?" Goku was a little nervous.
"She's still hurting," Vegeta paused. "She'll be okay though because she has Lafrae dwelling within her."
"If you say she'll be okay, I'm just worried about her." Goku shrugged his shoulders.
They watched on as Trunks and Goten seperated. Usagi and Trunks continued sparring without missing a beat. Goten fell down onto his back beside his father breathing heavily.
"They're too much. They never want to quit fighting."
"That's what happens when you find your perfect mate, br'at."
They watched as Usagi and Trunks continued fighting, Trunks pinned Usagi to the wall. They looked into one anothers eyes, breathing heavily. Trunks had her arms pinned above her head. Vegeta, Goku, and Goten left the training room to wash up and change before dinner. Usagi daringly leaned up, kissing her mate's lips softly. His beast purred enjoying the feeling of his lover touching him. He cupped the back of her head pulling her flush to him as he deepened the kiss. Usagi moaned against him, feeling his tail wrap around her thigh.
"AHHH!" The sound of two women screaming filled their ears. They pulled apart and looked to the door. There stood their mothers in their door way screaming. The couple quickly pulled apart. Usagi stood looking down at the ground, her hands behind her back as she shuffled her feet kicking an imaginary rock. Trunks scratched the back of his head nervously as he stood beside his mate.
"You two, are you together?" Chichi questioned them from outside the door way.
"Well, Chichi asked you a question. Are you two dating now?" Bulma moved to step into the training room.
Usagi felt her heart stop in her throat. 'The gravity is set to high.' She heard the voice of LaFrae rell her, panick filled her being as she watched in slow motion as Bulma step into the room. Bura was cradled in her arms. 'Bura will be hurt! Do something Usagi!' She moved with lightening speed. As Bulma took two steps into the increased gravity her body began to fall. Usagi grabbed Bura from her falling mother and stopped when her back was flush against the wall. She breathed heavily, trying to stop the surge of emotions she felt rushing through her veins. Trunks picked his mother up and helped her out of the room. Usagi was looking over the tiny new princess, inspecting her to make sure there was nothing wrong with her.
"Usagi!" Chichi chidded her daughter. "Why did you do that?"
Usagi continued to scan the child, wanting to be entirely sure that she had not been harmed. Bulma touched Chichi's arms and told her that she was fine and no harm was done. Trunks watched how his mate was tending to his baby sister. She was so protective of the tiny baby. Bulma crossed over and reached to take her daughter from Usagi. As she reached her arms out, Usagi let out a low threatening growl and shielded Bura with her body. The fierce look in her eyes caused both women to step back from her.
"Usagi!" Trunks snapped at her and moved directly before her.
They eyes locked. Her eyes changed to a look of shock. She handed the baby over to her mate and rushed away. She rushed into her room and leaned against the door trying to calm her hear rate and breathing. 'What's wrong with me?' She slid down the door, tears leaking from her eyes as she thought over how she had reacted. Something inside of her had snapped when she saw the potenial danger Bura was in.
'Usagi, you are protective of your family. It is nothing to be ashamed of.' the voice of LaFrae echoing through her head.
"Usagi! Open the door." She heard Trunks outside the door and felt Vegeta standing beside him.
Usagi crawled away from the door, allowing them to enter the room. Trunks rushed in the room. He spotted his mate curled up on her side shaking silently. He scooped her up into his arms and touched his forehead to hers. Vegeta shut the door behind them.
"I'm sorry Vegeta-sama. I don't know what came over me." She tried her best to hold back her tears.
"Don't apologize woman, it's a normal reaction especially for what you've been through." Vegeta sat on the chair.
"What do you mean Father?" Trunks sat on the bed across from his Father, looking at him.
"When a Sayian female looses a child they become exremely protective of everyone related to them. Bura is the weakest one in our family so you feel the need to protect her. You'll be just like this with your brother's br'at." Vegetas voice taking on a softer side.
"I was agressive towards my Mom and Bulma though." She sat between Trunks's legs as they talked to her Father.
"That's normal, you have this feeling that you have to gaurd her. I know that you'll be able to protect my daughter while we're on Vegeta-sai,so don't apologize." He touched the top of her head. "Hurry up and change so we can eat."
"What if Bulma and Mom ask why I did that? I can't tell them that we. . . ." Her voice cracked.
"Tell them your Sayian hormones are acting up. They'll handle that better than the truth. I'll see you at the table."
Vegeta left the room. Usagi stood from Trunks' arms and pulled her clothes off. Trunks sat back and watched as his mate pulled on a clean new set of clothes. Once she was dressed, Trunks pulled his mate into his arms and dropped a soft kiss to the mating mark on her shoulder. They made their way to the dinning hall and joined the others. Usagi sat with Trunks on her right and Goten on her left. Vegeta was next to his son, Bura was nestled between her parents. Chichi sat beside Bulma and Goku was on her side. Gohan and Videl had taken dinner in their room, she was tired. Which was understandable considering she was nearing the end of her pregnancy. Radditz, Bardock, and Nappa sat together, watching the blonde Sayian. Her eyes didn't look anywhere but her plate. She ate quietly, seemingly in deep thought. Suddenly, Usagi's head snapped up and in the direction of her brother's room. Something was wrong. As she stood from the table, with all eyes on her, Gohan came rushing into the room.
"Videl! She's having the baby, or something wrong! I don't know what's going on but I know it isn't right!" Gohan was frantic.
Usagi rushed out of the room, Trunks quickly on her heels. Usagi entered the room and sat beside her sister in law and gently touched her belly. She looked at Trunks and nodded her head. Bulma and Chichi stood and moved towards the door rushing quickly behind Gohan. They met up with Trunks in the hallway.
"Usagi said to hurry." He rushed back into the room, the three of them quickly on his tail.
They walked in to see Videl leaned up against the headboard moaning in pain. Usagi had her hand on Videl's belly. Chichi and Bulma moved to either side of Videl. Gohan sat beside her head, whispering calming words to her.
"We should go to the medical room and find out what's going on. Okay Videl?" Bulma smiled, trying to calm her.
"No!" Usagi looked up, her eyes and hair completely silver. "You can't move her. She's having the baby."
"WHAT?!" Videl screached. "It's too early! Gohan!"
"Usagi, why can't we move her?" Trunks whispered quietly to his mate.
She turned her back to the couple. Bulma stood next to her son, listening for a good reason as to why they should't move the expecting mother.
"The baby's heart rate is dropping, her ki is getting dangerously low. If we try to move her they could both die." Usagi whispered quietly.
"What do we do then?" Trunks asked, keeping his voice low as to not alert the parents.
"Trunks, you come with me. We'll go get some supplies and come right back here. I trust you and Chichi can keep her calm till we get back?"
Usagi nodded her head yes and moved to Videl's side. Chichi sat blotting her head with a towel. Gohan held onto her hand and Videl looked at Usagi.
"Usa," Videl's voice was weak. "You know, don't you? Please tell me. Is something wrong with my baby?" Usagi could smell the tears coming from her eyes. She smelled fresh blood, blood that was coming from Videl.
She pondered her words carefully. She felt Bulma and Trunks approaching and found her words. "You're going to be fine."
They walked in the room and began to set out the materials. Gohan and Chichi helped pull Videl's leg up to her chest to make delivering the baby easier. Usagi pulled Bulma aside.
"She's not going to be able to have the baby naturally. You're going to have to cut her out."
Bulma looked shocked but nodded her head and grabbed the ultrasound. "We're just going to do a quick check, okay?" She ran the wand over Videl's belly. She saw the baby, a little girl, and her heartbeat was steadily dropping because of the imbilical cord being wrapped around her neck twice. Bulma quickly put down the machiine and grabbed a syringe and a vial. She shook slightly as her nerves began to take effect.
"Bulma," Chichi's voice filled the room. "What's going on?"
"We have to do a c-section. Everything is going to be fine though. I'm going to give you a shot to numb you and pull the baby out. Okay?"
Bulma began her work. Chichi held Videl's hand trying to keep her calm. Once Bulma pulled the tiny baby out she handed her to Usagi who immediately began to clean her up. Usagi raised her ki, forcing it into the baby. She was steadily getting weaker. She called Trunks over to her. He began to help her force life into the babe.
"Please, please, please don't die." She whispered to the baby. "I won't let you!" They baby pinked up and began screaming. Usagi smiled and held the baby close to her chest. She crossed over to her brother handing him the tiny baby. The couple held their daughter as she reached her tiny arms out towards her parents. Usagi smiled at the small family, she left the room and stepped into the hallway with Trunks right beside her. She looked up to see her Father and twin standing there with excited look plastered to their faces.
"It's a girl, they're both healthy. I'm sure Gohan would love to see you both." Usagi watched as they busted through the door and turned to look at Vegeta holding his sleeping daughter close to him. He nodded his head in her direction and walked away. Usagi looked to the three full grown Sayians that were starring her down. She placed her hand on her hip and looked at them. Trunks glared them down as he stood behind his mate.
"What do you three want?" She had dropped her power level, yet her hair and eyes remained the same silver color.
"You're LaFrae, aren't you?" Radditz asked, disbelief filling his eyes.
"Yeah, what of it?" She stood her ground. Trunks emitted a low warning growl for the three Sayian males to try something.
"Is that why the Prince," Nappa nodded in Trunks' direction, "is so protective of you?"
"Her being LaFrae has nothing to do with my protection over her. She's my mate!" Trunks pulled the right side of her shirt away, revealing the mating mark he had placed upon her shoulder.
"About damn time!" Bardock chuckled. "I was wondering when you two were going to do it!"
"You realize," Vegeta spoke as he walked down the hallway after dropping Bura off in her crib, "that she is now my daughter. The same respect and protection that I receive will be given to her."
"My liege, she's a half breed! How is she worthy of being the Sayian Goddess? Or even our future queen for that matter?" Radditz demanded.
Vegeta darted forward, striking the long haired sayian in the face. "She brought your pathetic weak ass back to life! She deserves respect more than anything! If it weren't for her, our people would have never come back!" Vegeta punched him in the stomach causing him to drop to his knees. "Apologize!" Vegeta's eyes flashed aqua, his kio quickly rising to the surface.
"I'm sorry, your majesty." Radditz gasped.
"Not to me you fucking moron! To her, your niece, your goddess! Grovel before her and beg that she doesn't kill you! Or that I don't kill you for your insolance!" Vegeta yelled, getting his point across.
"I'm sorry, Usagi." He spat her earthling name out with venom.
"I should throw you out into space and let you die!" Vegeta roared.
"Vegeta-sama," Usagi said his name quietly as she shook her head no.
"You're lucky she's here, other wise I would squish you like a helpless bug! Get out of my sight!" Vegeta threw Radditz away from him. The look he gave his son and daughter told them to go ahead of him. The couple quickly walked away, not giving a second glance to the older Sayians as they passed by.
