Surprises

Vegeta circled Rei, aware that she was slightly afraid of him. His gaze made her stomach flip and her knees trembled. "Vegeta..."

A gloved finger covered her lips, "You talk too much." He moved closer and allowed her to back away a little, confused about what was happening and how she felt. "Why are you afraid?"

"I..." Black eyes lowered to the floor, "It's stupid."

A pair of hands cupped her face, forcing her to look at him. "I won't hurt you," he promised.

"I know, but..."

"What?" he heard the doubt in her voice.

"What if I die?"

Vegeta paled, not expecting the question. Before she could react, he had crushed her frail body against his powerful frame, his mouth covering hers in pain and fear. "You won't," he growled between lungfuls of air. "Never!"

Tears streaked down Rei's face and she weakly struggled to pull free. Confused, he stopped kissing her but didn't let her go. "You're not afraid of death," he realized.

"No! For the child we may have, I don't want to marry or mate! He left me!"

"Who?" Vegeta's anger mounted, jealousy flashing in his eyes.

"My father, after my mother died! He said that it was all my fault, that I could have saved her!"

"Bastard!" Vegeta lifted Rei's sobbing form and walked to the bed, gently rubbing her dark head until she started to relax. "Rei, my children are my pride and honor. Without them, I am nothing."

"You wouldn't leave?"

"No." He meant it every word he had just said and suddenly longed to see his son and daughter so much that he wrapped Rei in a fierce hug. His breath came in heavy gasps and despite the amount of control he was trying to keep, a single tear slid down his face. Vegeta had never been the greatest father, but he had tried. When Trunks was first born, he was so scared that he fled, afraid that he would raise another to be like himself, a cold blooded killer. With the birth of Bra, he spoiled her and Gohan's brat without shame or regret. He would do anything for the Saiya-jin future, even change history.

His fingers traced her lips as his weight pressed her against the matress of his bed. Vegeta smiled, not his trade mark smirk that he showed Kakarot. She found herself trapped by his hynotic gaze and slowly closed her eyes as he leaned closer. Gently, ever so gently, he spread her lips and tasted the bottom one first. His tongue only tasted, determined to drive the woman crazy. "Do you still want me to leave?" A soft whimper escaped, but Rei was helpless. Her uniform had vanished in the medical lab, leaving only a sleevless dress with tie strings on her shoulders.

His fingers moved down to rest on her bared shoulder, making slow circles with the tips of two fingers. She closed her eyes to let the moment wash over her and tilted her head back to expose her neck to him. It was like honey to a bee, and Vegeta couldn't resist as his lips pressed against her soft, delicate skin. With a sudden surge of instinct, he bit down on her neck, making his mark. "Owww!" Rei screamed. The pain quickly left her as a rush of memories hit her. For a while, Rei leaned against Vegeta as she felt scared, terrified, sadness and then happiness as she saw everything that had happened in his entire life.

She didn't know why, but she found herself grazing her teeth along Vegeta's neck and stopped herself before doing what he had just done to her. 'Do it Rei!' She couldn't deny it, he was in her mind, and the rush of emotion came over Rei as she bit down on his neck making him yell and hold her tighter against him.

Pulling the strings on her shoulders, he let the dress drop to expose her round breasts and tightening nipples. Taking them in between his forefingers and thumb, he pinched in slow circles, causing Rei to cry out and wither against him. Her movements were driving him mad and he wanted nothing more to do than take her then and there. "Are you still afraid of me?" He pinched harder on her nipples, bringing out a yelp from Rei, but she didn't pull back as she looked at him with dazed eyes.

Rei didn't know what to think. The combination of pleasure and pain was making her want more and she shook her head. Vegeta picked Rei up, moved over to the dresser and pressed her back against the length of the cool wood. The position felt awkward and she tried to pull away, but Vegeta's hand held her down by pressing on her stomach as the other made its way up her dress. "Vegeta..."

"Relax Rei." His hand stopped at the pair of thongs she was wearing under her dress and smirked. With experienced hands, he slid the fabric aside and slid a finger in her soft folds, watching her face as she arched her back into his hands and opened her mouth in a cry that could be heard by everyone in the castle. With slow, upward and downward strokes, he traced her clit all the way to the opening of her womanhood, but did not enter. Her body was building up, and he stopped to let her mind come back down to reality a bit and she whimpered for more, but refused to beg for it just yet. 'Do you want me to stop?'

'No.'

'Then tell me to continue.' At first he heard nothing, then shyly, she begged him to keep going, but instead of what he was doing before, he plunged a finger deep inside of her until he was all the way in and brushing her jewel with his thumb. Screaming, her muscles tightened around his finger before he had time to stop her and gave an evil smirk as he realized the fun he could have with her, before he took her. His finger soon became two, then three as he moved them in and out with increasing speed. With a growl he tore her panties off and pushed her dress all the way up past her hips and marvled at how beautiful she was laid underneath his gaze. She kept herself trimmed and clean to his satisfaction and placed a hand right above her jewel and moved his head in between her legs and began licking her for over an hour. Rei's hands twined into his thick hair and screamed again as another wave hit her, but he refused to stop and made her repeatedly hit the brink and come back down for another.

"Vegeta!" Rei screamed. He quickly moved up to where he was eye level with her and grabbed her legs to straddle his waist.

"I'm sorry," he whispered as he pushed in side of her tight warmth and gasped. Her muscles continued to clench around him, with a mind of their own, making Vegeta grit his teeth to try and hold back. The pain left her face in a matter of seconds. Lifting her waist up, he thrusted deep inside, feeling every inch of her body.

Rei groaned as she felt him in the pit of her stomach. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she could feel this good, nor did she think she would be permanently attached to a man. 'I hope this never ends.'

'Never is a long time, even for me.' Rei laughed as she realized she wouldn't be able to keep many secrets from him. 'Count on it.' Vegeta was slow at first, but the need to go faster consumed him as he gave Rei the ride of her life on top of the dresser. Vegeta and Rei began to cry out in unison as the tidal wave consumed them both, his warm essence feeling her womb.

Vegeta knew he didn't need to stay where he was at and gently picked up Rei to lay her back down on the bed and pull the sheets up to cover them both. His mind was foggy and somehow content as he watched Rei fall into a deep sleep against him. Brushing her hair back, he wondered if he had made the right decision. He cared about Rei, but hoped he didn't rush things to soon. Unlike her, he could hide pieces of himself still, but for how long he didn't know. She had the ability to make or break him at this point, but refused to let her see that until he felt a little more secure about her.

Usagi had on a body suit she had found in the changing rooms, which was hard to get off of her, making Kakarot growl in frustration as he focused on her outfit instead of her. "I know how to fix this problem," he said as he tore it off of her in one movement.

"Kakarot!" She tried to cover herself, but his hands were faster as he held them over her head.

"It's not like I haven't seen you in the last month. This mind link does more than show our thoughts, but reveals how we see ourselves in the mirror."

She was speechless as she realized her mate had been watching her without her permission, but laughed as she realized she had done the same thing when she was dreaming and watched his fanatsies of them together. Kakarot raised an eyebrow at her, making her face turn crimson red. He moved in closer, to have her rinkle her nose at him and turn away. "What?"

"You smell. I refuse to go any further until you've had a bath." Arms crossed, breasts heaving, Kakarot began laughing and grabbed his mate to crush them togehter.

"You need a shower too."

Picking her up, he took her to the bathroom where he turned on the water to a steaming heat, but perfect for both of them. He placed her in first, with him hugging her tight as they let the spray hit them. With a giggle she took the soap and a wash cloth to begin cleaning Kakarot off, all the mud, grime and filth that had collected in the last three days. His hair was the worse as she pulled his head down to begin scrubbing with all her might to pull out the leaves and twigs that had collected there.

Wincing, Kakarot grit his teeth as he let her wash his hair and promised to wash his own next time. When she was done, he did the same for her golden mane and had to admit, there was definitely more silver. It looked beautiful in contrast to her golden locks and as she turned her eyes to gaze back at him, there was less blue and more silver in them. "Something wrong Kakarot?"

"No. I was just marveling at how beautiful you are and the fact that you're completely mine now."

'I think your handsome.'

Lifting her up, Kakarot pressed her back against the shower wall, and took a breast in his mouth and began to suck like a baby for milk. While his mouth was playing with one, his hand massaged the other, drawing out a soft purr from Usagi. "Kakarot."

"Usagi. I want you."

"Please, I can't be a lone anymore. Love me the way I love you please."

Her teeth nipped hard along his neck leaving marks along her path, making him a lot more aggressive than normal as he pulled her head back and began to duel with her on dominace and submission. 'Tell me that you belong to me.'

'If I don't?' A tail came around fast to smack her rear, causing her to yelp as he grabbed her skin between his teeth.

'Tell me!' She heard the growl of possession in his mind and throat as his grip on her tightened.

'You belong to me, Kakarot.' Usagi cried out as he broke through the skin and sucked the blood that came spurting out. The mark wasn't deep, but he knew that it would never heal completely. While his neck was exposed she claimed him as her own, making sure that everyone knew that he was taken. 'You're mine for good now.'

'I want you.'

'Don't stop loving me.'

There bodies became one as he entered her, making her cry out in pain, but she demanded that he keep going and not stop. They had been kept from each other far to long, with a mental bond that drove them insane as they needed to complete it with the physical part of it. Usagi's body began to glow as she clutched Kakarot to herself. The union between them was far more powerful than either had imagined and he roared as he blazed into Super Saiyan 3, his hair growing out to her length, but he noticed that the silver crystal had shot over them with its silver light and a flash enveloped both of them. When the flash disappeared and both were spent from their exertion, he noticed that her hair was no longer golden, but silver along with her eyes. What startled him the most was the wings that extended from her back and flapped a cold wind around him.

He reached out to touch one, but drew it back startled when he saw blood after touching the tip of a feather on the end of her wings. The rest of her wings were feathery soft, and he determined that the ends were used as a weapon if necessary. The crescent moon did not fade away as she fell asleep against him and he promised to ask her about them later. Instinctvily she curled into Kakarot's arms and wrapped her wings around them for warmth. He knew they wouldn't need covers with this kind of blanket over them and fell asleep, determined to ask her what happened later. The next morning the wings had faded, but the hair and eye color did not, as well as the moon symbol.

A week later found Usagi preparing a breakfast for her new mate and humming a song when she felt a pair of strong arms circle her waist and pull her closer. "Morning."

"It smells good Usagi."

"I hope you like it, because I made enough for both of us and then some."

"If it's your cooking, then I know I'll like it."

"I'm not as good as Mako, but I try."

"Who is Mako, a guy?" The jealousy in his voice made Usagi laugh and pat him on the cheek affectionatly.

"No. She's Sailor Jupiter, one of my protectors."

"Are you still mad at them?"

"No. That was a teenage thing and something we need to get over and move on with our lives. Speaking of which, I have a surprise for you."

"What?" How he didn't know about it was a mystery to him, but he kept quiet and let her tell him.

"I have a question first. Do you want a boy or a girl in the future?"

Kakarot didn't quite understand at first and only stared at Usagi. "You want a child?"

"Of course I want one. That's not what I asked you."

"Well, I already have two boys. A girl would be a nice change of pace."

With a giggle she wrapped her arms around his stomach and held him close. "Ok."

When she didn't say anything else and continued to cook, Kakarot became frustrated and pulled her from the stove and turned it off. "What was the surprise?"

"Oh, I forgot. You're going to have a little girl. Can I finish our breakfast now?" Kakarot went into a state of shock and went back to the bedroom. Usagi, thought he was thinking about the news when she heard a thump on the floor and ran to see that he had passed out cold. "That is not what I expected, but he is a guy." Bending down, she brushed the hair out of his face and tickled his nose with her tail.

He came back too laughing when he saw Usagi. With a huge smile he pulled her close and touched her stomach and looked back at her to make sure what he had heard wasn't a dream. "Are you really pregnant?"

"Yes."

'Guess Chi-chi was right. Once and she's pregnant. Cool, then I can have more babies anytime I want.'

Usagi blinked in surprise at his declaration and tried to get out of his lap, but he held on tighter and laughed. "Kakarot, don't get carried away with having a lot of babies. They're a lot of work and responsibility."

"I know. You act as if I've never had children of my own. I happen to have two grown sons and they turned out perfectly fine. What do you want to call her?"

"Rini." Sadness entered Usagi's heart as she started to cry, remembering the little girl from the future she had grown to love. Kakarot remembered something about the child and how much it had hurt Usagi to see her go back. "I'll be fine. I just miss her sometimes, but I know she won't be born because I'm not with Mamoru any longer, nor do I wish to be."

"Are you sure she belongs to him? The child I saw in your dreams, was far to powerful to be related to him and you. I know she has your Saiya-jin blood in her, but there has to be more to it than that."

Rei was enjoying the fresh air on her face one morning when she ran back into her room with her hand covering her mouth. After about thirty minutes she came back out to see Vegeta looking at her with a bit of concern on his face. Now he knew why they had babies in the labs if this was what happened every time the women became pregnant.

"I wonder what brought that on?" she asked

"You mean you don't know?"

"Why should I? I've been sick before and it'll pass in a couple of days."

"Try seven months."

Rei turned to look at him with wide eyes. "Are you saiyng that I'm... that I'm..."

"Pregnant with my child."

For about five seconds she looked at Vegeta when her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell to the floor. It would have been a bad thing if he had not caught her right before she hit the table corner. "Crazy woman." Picking her up, he put her back to bed and made their meals. Rei couldn't boil water let alone make a decent meal.

She woke up to see that her favorite food, speghatti, had been put on the table, but all of a sudden it didn't look so good and she ran to the bathroom again. Vegeta waited patiently for her to come back and made her eat what he fixed. It was hard at first, but after a couple of bites she found that she was unusally hungry and ate everything on the table plus three extra helpings. "I'm going to get fat!"

"Quiet! You are not going to get fat and I don't want to hear another word about it. The Saiya-jin child inside of you takes a lot of energy and is going to make you eat a lot more than you normally do. Trust me, you will have to eat more if you want more energy for yourself."

"How do you know I'm pregnant?"

"I can sense his presence already. About a day ago, to be exact."

"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"

This time Vegeta started to laugh as he realized the predicament she was in. "Yes."

"Well, which one is it?"

"Both."

"Huh?"

Vegeta walked up to where he was eye to eye with her, "You are pregnant with a boy and a girl."

"But we haven't done that much."

"Actually we've done a lot. I got you preganant on the first time, and we've done it twenty-eight more times since then."

"You've been counting. I lost count after five."

"That was in the first twelve hours, Rei. We've been together for a week now."

"Well, I always did want a family. Are you sure this is what you want?"

"Yes."

Haruka was bord and Hotaru was exhausted from taking turns watching Broli. King Vegeta was still edgy about the child, but he decided to honor his daughter's wish and not kill the child for now. What if Broli became voltile again in the future. It didn't appear that way, but it could happen none the less.

"Do you think they'll come out anytime soon?" Hotaru asked.

"They better. I don't have the patience to take care of a child again. Baby-sitting is ok, but they've been in there for over two weeks now."

As soon as she said that, Kakarot and Usagi came out of their room laughing at some joke they had made. When she looked at her two friends, they stared at her wide eyed and with their mouths hanging open. "Ren," Hotaru started.

"Did you know you have silver hair, eyes and crescent moon on your forehead?" Haruka finished.

"Yes. Kakarot pointed it out to me the first night. Although I don't know what he's talking about on the wings."

Artemis looked up from Broli's eyes and stared at Usagi. "It happens to do with you being Lunarian. Your mother could call them forth at will after a certain age and hid them again when she didn't need them. I remember being on her back when she flew once, and I can't imagine anything like it, since."

"Really?" Usagi closed her eyes and began to concentrate on her power and sure enough wings sprouted from her back again, to blow a burst of cold wind on everyone. "Wow! I wonder if I can really fly with these things?" She walked over to Broli, who giggled and opened his arms out to Usagi. With a smile, she picked him up and snuggled him close to her and wrapped her wings around both of them as she rocked the baby.

"How did you do that?" Haruka asked. "We haven't made him laugh or smile since you left."

"Tell me about it. All he does is cry when you're gone."

Tossing him in the air, she easily caught him and nuzzled her nose to his. "I've missed you too." She looked at the women seriously. "He cries because he still has the memories of chaos attacking him, and that may scare him for a long time. I've been thinking about something. They say that babies don't understand, but I think they do, and know a lot more than we think."

Kalara walked into see that her future son and dauther had come out of their rooms and hugged them both. She had her baby with her and surprisingly, Vegeta too.

"Mom, what are you doing with both of them?"

"I can't separate them. Trust me, we've tried everything, and all we would get is a bunch of screaming from both children if we didn't put them back together and let them sleep in the same crib together. Vegeta is four months older than Kakarot, but there's some kind of bond between them."

Ecplise came in with baby Hotaru in her arms and set her down next to Broli. "At least Hotaru is the easy one to control. She likes being around her brother, but not as badly. We made the mistake of letting Kakarot come over and sleep with Vegeta two days ago and now we can't get them apart. My mate is getting frustrated because he has basically three babies around him instead of two."

A door opened behind them, and Vegeta came out of the room to join the others. He took one glance at his sister, Usagi and started laughing. "Kakarot, even now, you're trying to out do me and we still manage to tie."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the twins Usagi is carrying."

Kakarot turned to Usagi with a surprised expression on his face. "I thought you said you were pregnant with one child."

"I did. I wasn't lying was I?"

Kakarot place a hand on her stomach and sure enough he felt two power sources there and not one. "Amazing. I get to have that big family I was talking about."

Usagi groaned and covered her face with her wings. "I do not want to have babies every time one hits the floor, Kakarot."

"Why not?"

"I agree with him," Vegeta said. "Keeps you out of trouble that way."

"Where's Rei?"

"Taking a nap."

Vegeta picked baby Kakarot up with his tail, still feeling the sleeping power inside of him. Amazing, how could scouters not pick up the ki energy that was coming from both him and baby Vegeta? Broli was powerful too, but didn't contain anywhere close to the power these two did. On cue, baby Vegeta started to scream in anger about Kakarot being taken from him. He was about to put the child down, when he noticed the babies power growing in leaps and bounds as he continued to hold Kalara's child away from his past self. Even Kakarot was watching stunned as his baby self began to join in and the room exploded in power. Not knowing how to control their power, they changed into Super Saiya-jins and lashed out at Vegeta throwing him back against the wall and dropped the child in his tail. Thank god Hotaru was there to catch him.

Genlty placing Kakarot down and beside Vegeta, the babies quit crying and twirled their tails together, refusing to be taken from each other again. "What happened?" Kalara asked. She was scared and thought that something was seriously wrong with the children.

"They changed into Super Saiya-jins when Vegeta separated them. Amazing. Would this have happened if Frieza had not come to this planet in the first place. Their power level is equal right now, and very strong for their age."

Usagi and Hotaru pried their brother from the wall and noticed that blood creeped down his face from a wound on his head. "Kakarot, change of plan, we start teaching these children how to control their power at two years old if not sooner. They'll destroy the place if they don't."

"Vegeta, you and I both know we can't train them at that age."

"I didn't say train them. I said teach them how to control their powers."

"Now you know why King Vegeta is becoming so upset lately. He wants to spend time with his son, but he can't pry him from Kakarot. Why can't they be like Hotaru, calm and agreeable?"

"Because they're men," Haruka stated. "Stubborn at birth." The comment was so crazy that everyone broke out laughing and enjoyed each others company.

*Four Months Later*

An alert came from the moon kingdom when Turles radioed to his home planet that Queen Selinity was about to have her child. At first, only Kakarot and King Vegeta were going to go, but an angry Usagi threathened to cut off his food supply if he didn't take her to see her mother. Not wishing to make her upset any further than she already was, Kakarot did as she asked. He didn't mind having children, but the temper needed to go. When they arrived on the moon, they had the twins, Broli, the three senshi, Usagi, Kakarot, Vegeta, Kalara, Eclipse, Bardock and King Vegeta. Turles blinked when he saw the size of the group and a few additions added.

Walking up to them he noticed that he had a new nephew and picked him up to get a better look at him. "Wait!" The group yelled in unision, but it was to late as baby Vegeta lashed out at him with his explosive temper. It didn't even take a second for him to respond anymore and he calmed as soon as Kakarot was next to him again.

"What happened?"

"We were going to warn you about that. Don't try to seperate either of them, or Prince Vegeta throws a tamtrum. It's as if he's picked who his guard is going to be in advance and is protecting him until he's old enough to fend for himself. Although, I think they protect each other, because Kakarot does the same thing."

"Why can't you just separate them for several days to get them over that problem?"

"We've tried that." Rei sighed. "Their was nothing left of the buildings they were in. Now we simply help Kalara and Eclipse out so that they're not worn out to fast."

"How much longer before my mother has her baby?" Usagi asked Turles. She grabbed his arm and looked at him hopefully.

"Why did you change your hair color? It was fine the way it was."

"I didn't have a choice about that."

Turles rolled his eyes and walked towards the Queen's room without hesitation. Kakarot kept close to Usagi, a tail wrapped around her waist possessively. His Uncle could only laugh at him and shook his head. "I'm not intereseted in her any longer if that's what you're worried about Kakarot."

"Why not?"

"Are you saying you don't mind? I might not, but my mate would."

"Your mate?"

"I was angry when I was ordered to stay here on the planet because I wanted to challenge you for the right to mate Usagi. However, I quickly forgot about that as I kept clashing with a certain female that was always around the Queen. I never felt like killing one so badly in my life, but I had strict orders not to from King Vegeta and would often have to destroy parts of the moon to keep my sanity from leaving me. Then one day, I did lose my temper and fought her for about ten minutes before I had her pinned underneath me to kill. Something about the fire in her eyes, definantly glaring at me, stired something inside of me that I didn't feel with Usagi and sort of got carried away with ourselves. The result, she became pregnant and was about a month early on the baby, but the baby's fine."

"Turles?" Usagi asked him. Something was wrong with the way he said that, and turned his head away from her. "What happened?"

"How do you know something happened?"

"I see it in your face and hear it in your voice. Plus you said the baby is fine, not the mother."

Turles looked at her sadly and stopped walking. "She died. Someone attacked the moon about two weeks ago, and injured all of us badly except for my mate and Queen Selinity. Selinity couldn't fight back because she was too weak to use her crystal, so my mate, threw her self in front of the attack that would have killed Selinity and her child. I saw her fall to the ground unconscious, and my rage let lose as I killed the monster that had attacked us. I don't know where it came from, but I had to cut my mate's stomach open before the child died as well."

Haruka stopped Turles and turned him to face her. "It was Queen Jupiter wasn't it?"

Turles looked at her startled. "How did you know who it was?"

"I'm from the future and I remember that Jupiter was mine and Neptune's closest friend. We helped you get through her death day by day and to help you take care of the princess that would one day protect the princess. You often took her with you on your trips through space, thinking that you could protect her better yourself."

"I'm so sorry Turles," Usagi said gently.

Turles said nothing as they entered the chambers of the queen and noticed that two other women were with her as well, babies in their arms. "Your majesy's I have brought the ones you requested so that they can be here for the new princess of the moon and Vegeta-sai."

"Thank you Turles," Queen Selinity said to him. She held a small baby with brown hair and a tail in her arms and gave her to Turles when he walked up. His hold was loving and very protective as he trembled.

"May I be excused for awhile." The queen nodded, letting Turles grieve. They had to keep a suicide watch on him, but as long as he had the little baby in his arms, he was calm.

Haruka felt sorry for the Saiyan for some reason and followed after him. Watching him care for the child and grieve over her once, a long time ago, friend, did something to her and she was compelled to follow him, even if he didn't want her around.

"Mother, isn't there anything we can do for him?"

"No. We could use the silver crystal, but that would cost us more than it would gain us." Selinity looked at Kakarot who had a hand on her daughter's shoulder and smiled. "I take it you're her mate?"

Yes."

"How much longer before your children are born?"

"Three months."

Selinity nodded and introduced the two women by her side as Queen of Mars, and Queen of Venus. Their children were the future protectors of Serenity. All they lacked was Mercury, but she would be born within two to three more months. When she tried to stand up, her water broke and everyone moved into action at once trying to make sure she was made comfortable. Everyone was pushed out of the room, except for the women as they helped the queen deliver the child.

King Vegeta was tense as he waited for his other child to be born. An hour later, they heard a spanking noise and a crying letting them all know that the baby was alive and well. When they walked in, they saw a tired Queen holding a beautiful girl with a silver tail wrapped around her arm. When the twins, Kakarot and Broli were brought into the room, they opened their eyes and wanted to be close to the queen. When they were being denied all five began to cry with the new born baby joining in.

"Oh no. Not again!" Eclipse groaned.

"So much for Broli and Hotaru being the calm and quiet ones."

They forced the babies out of the room, to let the queen and her new born get some rest. Kakarot and Vegeta had to keep a shield up around them just in case the babies decided to revolt and bring the place down. For a bunch of four and six month old children, they were destructive and shuddered to think what they would be like in about five years.

Turles had found an isolated spot about two miles from the castle and sat down with Jupiter tucked in his arms safely. He had decided to call her Makoto, and often held her close to him so that he could have something of her mother near by. He hated to admit it, but he loved the Queen of Jupiter more than life itself and had thought of suicide on more than one occassion.

"It doesn't hurt to cry you know," Haruka said, coming up behind him.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing, but to sit next to the last person by my friend's side. Jupiter didn't trust a lot of people around her, and for her to let you in, must mean that you had a lot of good qualities about you. Your daughter is pretty."

"She looks like her mother."

"She doesn't act like her though. Jupiter was usually very calm unless you pushed the right buttons. The little girl in your arms has a nasty tempter and likes to explode on anyone that questions her abilities as a fighter."

"Does she remember me in the future?"

"No."

"Haruka, tell me something. From what I've been told they were sent to the future when the silver alliance was destroyed. That means everyone on the moon died including my daughter."She didn't want to answer that question, but from the look on his face, she knew he knew the answer already. "Yes."

Turles sank into a deeper depression than he was in before and looked at the little child happily sucking on his finger. She noticed his sadness and wrapped her tail around his arm trying to comfort him. "I'm not going to let it happen."

"What?"

"I will fight what ever enemy is going to attack the moon, and take them out myself if I have to."

"That won't be necessary."

"Yes it is necessary!" Turles shouted at Haruka. His face was contorted into anger as he faced her, ready to fight. "I'm not going to let the only thing I have left, die."

Instead of backing down, Haruka stood up and faced him down. "If you would listen to me, I would have told you that we won't be going to the future unless we defeat an enemy here in the past, and Usagi won't let anything happen to her mother. We finally figured out a way to save the past and keep ourselves the same in the future when we go back, if we go back."

Turles calmed down to look at Haruka confused. "You may not be able to go back?"

"No. We may have changed things so much that we won't fit in there and have to remain here. I don't know yet, and we'll have to wait for Pluto from our time to get to us and tell us what is going on." Resting a hand on his shoulder, she gave him a promise that she hadn't done for anyone but Michuru, "I swear to you, that I won't let anything happen to your child or the other princesses of this time. The enemy surprised us because we didn't expect them to attack, and they're not going to make that mistake again."

They sat looking at the other planets surrounding them in silence, neither needing words at that moment to comfort each other. Haruka missed Michuru a lot as the months passed, but a part of her soul seemed empty as she watched the bond forming between her friends and the Saiya-jins, making her think that there was much more than what she had. Turles missed his mate with each passing moment and looked to the stars for answers he could not find.

The silver alliance rejoiced at the birth of the new heir to the moon. Hotaru was the next heir to the Saturn throne as well, so all three children were important in the future when it came time to rule their respective planets. The only problem was, how were they going to separate the six Saiyans that were glued to each others side since the birth of the new baby. Serenity quickly formed a bond between Kakarot, her brother and sister that couldn't be torn apart no matter what happened. Broli was accepted into the tight circle along with Jupiter making the parents wonder what they had gotten themselves into.

"You know something," Vegeta said one afternoon, "we have a lot of training on our hands."

"We don't have to train," Kakarot said.

"Not us, the babies popping up all over the place. It originally started out as Kakarot, Vegeta, Hotaru and Usagi. Now we have Broli and Jupiter to add in as well which makes it a tight schedule."

"We can handle it."

"Kakarot you're an idiot. You've never dealt with a pack of children before. They go insane when they get together and forget any manners or upbringing they've ever been taught."

"Don't worry about it. You and I will think of a way to train them."

"When are we heading back to Vegeta-sai? Our mates are getting close to having their babies and we can't afford to let them out of our sight for to long or they'll die."

"Tomorrow. The month long celebration should be over and we can say our good-byes."

When the group was ready to go, Turles had made a decision and had received permission from King Vegeta to do as he wished until he felt like coming home. He was going to travel the universe, looking for a way to wipe out Frieza's race and to make the Saiya-jin Military Alliance a lot more powerful. He was going to take his daughter with him until she was old enough to be with the babies on the moon. Turles was about to shove off, when someone came up behind him and sat in a chair next to him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Making sure you stay out of trouble and don't commit suicide."

"I don't need your help woman."

"Who said I was helping? I"m bored and want something to do for a few years."

"What about Usagi?"

"Is well taken care of and if they need me, they know how to get a hold of me. You're not afraid of having a woman with you are you?"

Turles growled in frustration and shut the door and hit the blast off key. "Don't say I didn't warn you first. Put on some armor."

After they had blasted off, Kakarot and his companions all borded the other ship and waived good-bye to Queen Selinty and the silver alliance for a while. Usagi and Rei were tired and were about to fall asleep when Hotaru started freaking out. "Where's Haruka?"

Everyone looked around and could find no sign of her, and became alarmed. "Calm down. She asked permission to take care of someone for awhile and I agreed to let her."

"Who?"

"Turles."

"Why would Haruka do that?" Hotaru asked confused.

"Because she's hurting as much as he is."

"Why?"

"She longs to go home to Michuru, but can't so she's dealing with it by helping Turles through his loss." 'Plus, I think Haruka has another reason for not wanting to leave the general's side,' but wouldn't upset Hotaru by actually voicing this out.

Two months later, after the birth of Princess Serenity, Rei and Usagi were having their babies. With screams of pain, they held each others hands as they pushed the twins out and telling each other not to give up. Hotaru, Kalara and Eclipse were the ones helping them deliver and it wasn't easy trying to talk to women who were ready to destroy their mates for putting them through this hell in the first place. Kakarot and Vegeta were placing bets on who's woman would have both their babies first, and were cheering them on with enthusiasm in their voices.

"SHUT UP!" Rei was first to have her first child born, followed closely by Usagi's first one. Both were girls and handed to the fathers as they continued to encourage their mates to push. If it's one thing they both hated about Kakarot and Vegeta, was their competitive streak and looked at each other with grins. Holding out, until they could bare the pressure no longer, they pushed on the count of three together and out popped the remaining two children at the same time.

Kakarot and Vegeta didn't know what to say as they couldn't win the bet again. The bright side was, they did't ever get any pourer, but the lectures that they received was enough to drive them insane and to spar for several hours.

"What are you going to name them?" Kalara asked.

Vegeta didn't care so long as they weren't named after clothes this time. "Rei?"

"Phobos and Deimos." They were after her two crows that had died during the fight with the dark moon circus.

"Rini and Rena," Kakarot said. Rini had pink hair and red eyes, while Rena resembled her father, except she had long black hair that came down to the floor, with a silver tail. Rini had a pink tail which was an odd color, but very exotic in a way.

Haruka had come back to Vegeta-sai specifically for this event and congratulated her princess on a job well done. It had been over a year since they had seen their loved ones in the future, and Haruka was crying inside, but something else was forming there as well, that she felt guilty about. Usagi had picked up on it, but chose to let it play out on its own. Turles had become quieter and less aggressive as well, as he was still grieving for his dead mate. It had only been a couple of months, but the pain was fresh in his heart, but with Haruka fighting beside him, he was able to keep on finding a reason to stay alive and the number one reason was for his daughter Makoto.
