"Oooh they're so cute"
"I wanna hold one, Daddy can I hold one!"
"Usagi, you did SO good!"
"Great job, Usagi!"
All of the senshi, and all of the Z warriors were there to celebrate the births of Vegeta and Usagi's little miracles. Michiru was holding Chibiusa with a grin on her feminine face, as Chibiusa flailed her little arms around with glee. Thanks to theirs and their mother's saiyan blood, Usagi's blood being due to her official mating, they were all pretty much healed from the trauma of birth. Usagi was up and walking around and everything, moving with Kymri to get a feast-like dinner ready for the slew of hungry Saiyans and the other humans.
There was all kinds of sushi and other smaller foods to munch on, as a turkey and a bunch of steaks cooked in the large kitchen. Lots of side dishes were on the oven, as Makoto helped Usagi and Kymri make sure everything tasted great.
Vegeta was standing around outside with Goku, Piccolo, Haruka, and Ami, who had recently been seen close to Piccolo.
"So, Vegeta, whatcha think? Do you like the fact that you're a daddy?" Goku asked, looking in to see Gohan playing with the baby Trunks.
"Of course I am, fool… They're perfect, strong, they'll make fine royalty for the Saiyan line." He said, as Piccolo smirked and Ami blinked.
"But, how did Usagi do? Was she ok?" she asked, as Haruka nodded and looked at Vegeta.
"Yes, how DID Usagi do? Any trouble? I know for a fact that Saiyan births are dangerous." She said, as Vegeta nodded, grunting lightly.
"She did very well, she was a real queen. I just wish I had a palace for her to reside in… She certainly earned it tonight…" he said, smirking lightly, as Goku grinned.
"Well, if you wanna know, we went looking for the androids… and we found them. They got away, but those two teens helped us. You know, you'd like the fight those androids gave us." Goku said, as Haruka rolled her eyes.
"Oh for the love of, Goku it wasn't a game. They're tough, Vegeta, just so you know. You and Usagi are going to have problems fighting them, even Goku had issues today. We barely won today, and they got by us…" Haruka said, as Vegeta nodded, and grinned a bit.
"We'll figure it out… We're Saiyan royalty after all, this won't be too hard for us…" he said, as the others looked at him and watched him, trying to figure out how he could stay so calm. Angry at the way he was acting, Haruka stalked inside, bumping into Tarble.
"Oh…my apologies…um… what was your name again?" she asked.
"Tarble, miss." He said, as she nodded.
"Right…Tarble. Vegeta's brother, right? Your brother is so aggravating, I don't understand how he can just be so dismissive over the fight like that!" Haruka ranted, as Tarble smiled.
"Oh, that's always been how Vegeta is. You see, this is his coping mechanism. He hides. He puts on a strong face even when he's scared or worried. The only exception to that rule is Usagi…he can't hide his fear of her safety. Other than that, Vegeta's just like that. You have to get used to it, like Goku has." Tarble said, as Haruka tilted her head and nodded.
"I…suppose so. I wish he would change, just a little bit, for Usagi, show her that it's ok to be scared and all…" Haruka trailed off, and Tarble grinned.
"You've never seen him alone with her. He's very gentle to Usagi… it's how our people were raised. They're harsh on the surface, but loving to the ones they're closest to… for Vegeta, that's me, Kymri, Usagi, and his children. Everyone else…he's scared of letting them close…because he doesn't want to lose them." Tarble said.
In the house, Usagi was grinning and carrying Trunks around, as the little purple haired boy laughed on her shoulder. Kymri laughed.
"He's certainly rowdy, just like his daddy. You know, they got your lunarian hair…" Kymri said, as Usagi smiled.
"I know, aren't they precious? I can't get enough of them! I can't believe that they were in my belly a half a day ago…they're a good size, for newborns." She said, as Kymri grinned.
"That's the Saiyan in them. They're fast to get to a good stage for them to take care of themselves during the full moon, and since the full moon is a few days away, then they got bigger fast. They'll slow down in growth now." Kymri said, chuckling as Trunks grabbed a strand of Usagi's hair and chewing on it happily.
"He's hungry I think… Chibiusa probably is too. If you want, I can take the food with Makoto, and you can go feed the little ones." Kymri offered, as Usagi nodded and moved to Michiru, taking Chibiusa from her and heading to the back room to feed the little ones.
About 15 minutes later, Makoto yelled out the door. "Dinner everyone!" she called, as the rampage began. All of the hungry saiyans hit the table hard and fast. Between Kymri, Vegeta, Tarble, Goku, and Gohan, the food was being devoured fast.
Mina blinked, and shouted over the din of the devouring saiyans, "HEY! Save some for the rest of us, darn it!" she glared, as they looked at her and kept eating. Mina grumbled…and grabbed an apple. With a shout, she tossed it hard at the Saiyans, grinning triumphantly as it whacked into Vegeta's head. He turned, and growled at her, glaring darkly. You don't screw around with a Saiyan's meal… She meeped, and backed up, bumping into Tien, as he chuckled.
"Miss Mina, you should be careful around Vegeta and the other Saiyans. They're pretty harsh about their food and meals…" he said, as she blushed.
"Ah… th-thanks, Tien." She said, as he gestured for her to sit at the other table there, where they began to discuss the upcoming fight with the Androids.
Ami smiled at Piccolo, leaning a bit closer to talk. "It's great that Usagi's doing so well. I wish Raye had come to see the babies, though, she's really missing out!" she said, as Piccolo looked away. "I don't think you want Raye here, Ami… I sense a darkness in her, a jealousy, raging below the surface. She's got a bad shadow to her soul, and until she learns to control that anger, she is not trustworthy." He said, as she blinked.
"But, Piccolo… She has Mamoru now. She's got what she wanted from Usagi…" Ami said, as Piccolo shook his head. "No, she hasn't. She wants to rule. She resents that Usagi is going to be the ruler of this world, and she wants to take that from her. Her marriage to Vegeta, and now the birth of the heirs, has cemented that away from her. She has no hope in getting it back, unless she takes it by force." Piccolo said, as Ami blinked in surprise.
Michiru leaned over, having been listening to Ami and Piccolo. "I don't know about you, but she has me worried. She wants nothing to do with the rest of us anymore, and Mamoru has been getting increasingly darker towards us lately, ever since Usagi married Vegeta… Well, it's worrisome, as I said. We've been watching her."
Ami blinked and nodded, sighing and looking down, Piccolo putting his arm around her comfortingly. "We'll figure it out, Ami. Don't worry about it, we'll keep the King and Queen safe."
About a minute later, Usagi came out with the babies, who were squalling a bit in her arms. She looked to Vegeta, who was still stuffing his face with Goku, and she sighed and placed Trunks in his arms as he ate. Not breaking stride, he took his free hand to hold Trunks to his shoulder as he continued chowing down with one hand.
Usagi laughed, and sat next to him with Chibiusa. He looked at the little baby with his cheeks full of food, and the little one burst out in giggles. He smirked, and ruffled her hair gently, making her giggle some more, as Trunks grabbed at the turkey leg in Vegeta's hand. He tried to put it into his mouth, as Vegeta pulled it away, and pulled a little piece of meat from the turkey bone, placing it in his mouth, making him grin and suck on the meat. Usagi was beside herself, until he explained. "Saiyans, on Vegetasei, start out on milk and red meats. He is craving what will make him grow up strong, make him into a warrior." Vegeta said.
Next thing they knew, there was a crash outside. Vegeta and Usagi rushed out, the rest of the senshi and warriors inside rushed out to follow them. Standing out there, amidst the rubble of Vegeta's gravity chamber, were Androids 17 and 18. Vegeta snarled, as he held Trunks to him protectively. Usagi cradled Chibiusa to her, as they approached…
*Author's note- Well, here they come! The Androids are finally here. Vegeta's gotta protect his new family, but will he get very far? I'm at the 20K mark in NaNoWriMo almost, 30K to go!
