Him

Chapter 16: Family Time

Goku/Vegeta

After waking up from a very restful nights sleep, Vegeta woke up to his little girl moving around in his stomach. He smiles and strokes his stomach. He couldn't believe it was almost here, The Prince of all Saiyans didn't know where to be happy or scared for his life. There were times where he knew that everything was going to be okay, that Kakarot and he would get through it. But there were times, like right now, that he questioned whether it was a good idea to keep the baby. He had no clue about how to raise a Saiyan child. Neither of them were really there when their children were growing up, and the part that Vegeta was there for he hated with a fiery passion. Kids were jerks and they knew how to manipulate to get what they want. Vegeta wasn't sure if he was ready for that.

The Prince felt his mate's arms wrap tighter around him. He relaxed into his touch and sighed. "You're awake aren't you?' He asks as he runs his hand along his mate's arm.

Goku nods and kisses his cheek. "I couldn't sleep with all the worry that you were giving off… What's wrong?" He asks as he starts to purr against him, he didn't want him to be upset.

Vegeta sighs and snuggles close to his mate and tried to relax, it helped when he started purring. "I just… I'm worried about us being parents… I know we've been parents before but this is different. This is our child. Our full blooded Saiyan child.." Vegeta says softly as he closes his eyes. When he felt his mate snuggle to his neck and purr there all of his muscles turned to jelly. He smiled and reached back to stroke Goku's hair slowly.

Goku smiled against Vegeta's neck and kissed it gently, glad that he was able to help him relax. "I know you're scared Veggie… I am too, but we can't let that fear take over because then we won't get anywhere, plus it's a little too late to not have the baby now." He says chuckling as he reaches over and strokes his stomach. He could feel their little one squirming around.

Vegeta smiles a little and takes a few deep breaths before he turns and kisses Kakarot on the cheek. He felt a lot better once his mate woke up, he turns in his arms so that he is facing him. Vegeta gives him a long slow kiss before pulling away and stroking his cheek. "Go call the kids… I want to spend time with them while we're here." He says softly.

Goku nodded and smiles at his mate before he gets out of bed and gets dressed. He looks back at his mate and smiles softly. He blows him a kiss before leaving to go find the phone.

Vegeta shakes his head and smiles. Sometimes he could be so silly… Actually… That was all of the time. He slowly gets up out of bed and goes to their closet, as much as he loved his training suits, he knew that they were starting to tear whenever he would try and get them around his belly. He looks around for something in the closet that wasn't orange. He was having a hard time, as he was about to give up he sees a black and red gi in the back of the closet. On it was the Saiyan royal crest and a little note. He pulls it out of the closet and takes the note off of it.

"Dear Vegeta, I know that soon you won't be able to wear your training gear anymore… So I made this for you…." Whoever it was didn't leave a name, but it didn't matter. Vegeta loved it all the same. He puts it on and smiles before heading into the living room. He smiles at his mate before laying down on the couch, stroking his stomach slowly. He couldn't wait to see the kids.

Goku goes over to Vegeta and smiles. "I see you found the gi that I made for you." He says as he kneels in front of the couch, kissing the Prince on the forehead softly.

Vegeta smiles and reaches up to stroke Goku's cheek. "I love it." He says as he gets up, hearing and sensing the kids' energy. He smiled and went to go open the door for them. Seeing all of their smiling faces made Vegeta's heart melt. The boys made their way into the house and all sat down smiling brightly. Vegeta smiled at Goku and went to kiss his cheek. "I'll make us all breakfast." He says before going to the kitchen.

Gohan's eyes widened before he laughed. "Good… At least one of you learned how to cook." He says, making everyone laugh as they all relaxed. Goku chuckled and rubbed the back of his head in his usual fashion.

"I know… We would've starved to death by this point." He says laughing a little before he looks toward the kitchen to look at Vegeta as he cooked. "He's actually a really good cook, not that it surprises me… He's good at everything." He says blushing.

Goten smiled and watched his father, he had never seen him so happy before. He knew that when he was with mom he was kind of happy, but never could Goten of dreamed of his father being this happy. You could tell in every part of his being that he was relaxed and truly happy. He looks at Trunks and smiles.

Trunks smiles and looks at Goku. "He would cook for me when mom was busy in the lab… I like his food a lot." He says to Goku before looking at Goten, who had the biggest smile on his face. He could tell that he was happy for his dad. Trunks was too, but for some reason he didn't like the idea of them having a baby together. Maybe it was because it was wierd that his dad was having the baby.

Gohan looks at his dad and smiles. "How's he doing with the pregnancy? He seems to be doing well."

Goku nods and smiles. "We haven't had that many problems, the hormones aren't too terrible, but the cravings are unbearable. When we were back with the Saiyans, he would drink maple syrup like it was water among other things. There were times where he would wake up at three o'clock in the morning and ask me to go to town to get him something because we didn't have enough of it at the house." Goku chuckled as he looks at his sons. "It's definitely been an interesting ride."

"How's the baby gonna come out dad?" Goten blurts out as he looks at him smiling.

"Come eat boys!" Vegeta hollered from the kitchen. Goku sighed in relief at Vegeta's interruption. They all go into the kitchen to eat, everything smelled so amazing. As he was handed his plate he devoured it. Everything tasted so amazing that none of the boys were speaking as they spoke. Normally you couldn't get them to shut up. Vegeta smiles triumphantly and sits down, fixing his own plate before he eats slowly, watching all of his boys.

After breakfast, they all go outside to play, the younger boys sparred with their father. Vegeta was laying on the blanket that he had brought and watched them. He felt Gohan sit next to him. He looks over at him and smiles a little. "How are you doing?" He asks.

Gohan smiles and lays back with him. "It's been boring without you in the house." He says as he looks at Vegeta softly. "Has he been treating you right?"

Vegeta smiles. "He's been treating me like a King." He says as he rubs his stomach slowly. "He's been great to me and our baby… He doesn't know it yet, but he came up with the name for her and I've fallen in love with it. But don't tell him because I told him it was a stupid name." He says.

Gohan chuckles and moves so that he could put his hand on Vegeta's stomach. "What did he decide to name her?" He asks.

Vegeta blushes and closes his eyes. "Veku" He says smiling. "It's very unique just like her." He says before he looks up at the three boys fighting. He chuckles and shakes his head as he watches Goku let them win. He had to build up their self esteem somehow.

Gohan laughs and shakes his head. "I can see why you thought it was stupid at first. But it is very cute. Son Veku." He says smiling. "He's going to love that you love it."

Vegeta nodded and smiled. He felt himself start to tear up thinking about his baby girl. He had started getting really emotional lately, crying at the drop of a hat but he tried to not let kakarot notice.

Gohan wiped his tears away and smiled. "She's going to be perfect, and you two are going to be great parents." He says as he smiles up at his dad.

"Do you ever resent your father for not being there?" Vegeta' blurted out. He wasnt sure what came over him. He didn't even know why he said it. He could tell that it came as a surprise to Gohan as well.

He thinks for a moment before sighing. "I did when I was younger, because I just couldn't understand how he could die and not fear it. If it would of worked I think that I would of felt a lot better about it. But over the years, I've come to realize that he had his reasons for doing what he did and I have accepted it." He says smiling. "Besides ever since he has come back, he has been a great father to Goten. I think he was trying to make up for being gone for so long.

Vegeta smiles and nods, accepting his answer. He laid there for hours, watching the boys take turns fighting Goku. He could tell that his mate was having the time of his life. Even though none of them were much of a challenge for him, it was still good to get the muscles working. Plus he would have to learn to play gentle when they had the baby.

Vegeta slowly got up and decided to go inside, he wasn't feeling too well and Veku was moving around a lot. As he slowly went to lay down on the couch, he felt his stomach start to cramp and he fought the groan that wanted to come out of his mouth. He closed his eyes and stroked his stomach, hoping that whatever was going on in there would calm itself down. In no time at all, Vegeta could feel Goku's energy next to him.

"Calm down Veggie what's wrong?" Goku asked as he stroked his stomach, sending him some energy as well. The feeling made Vegeta feel a little bit better, but not enough for the pain to go away. Suddenly though, the pain stopped. He looked down at his stomach and then at Goku.

"W… What the hell was that?" He asks his mate as he looks at him.

"I think that it was a contraction… it means the baby is coming." He says smiling. "I remember when Chichi had them…." He says.

Vegeta's eyes widened. He wasn't ready for the baby to come. He felt another contraction hit and he screamed in pain. "Baby… W.. We need to get back to your Father... It's too soon, the baby isn't supposed to come for another month" He says panting as he tears up.

Goku held onto him and nodded before he yelled at the boys to come in the house. He had all of them hold onto his shoulder before he Instantly Transmits them all to Hell.
