Unwanted fate

Sticks and stones may breake my bones... But words still hurt me more

Vegeta's PoV

Ara's been in a coma for two months now and nothing bulma's been doing is helping her. And it's been arguing none stop. If she isn't tending to ara, and if I'm not training we're just arguing. We're supposed to go to court in a week to prove we haven't abused ara and the way she is now, we might lose her.

Trunks is actually staying with kakerot's family till this all goes away.

Seeing them both like this was agonising. My daughter on the brink of death and my son staying away from us out of fear.

I remembered when they were younger it was so easy to pretend we weren't arguing. Id just tell them a story and they'd forget about it. It worked for trunks for ages but ara started to cop on at the age of 8.. I'll never forget that night..

Flash back

I had brought ara and trunks into trunks' room and began telling them of a mission Frieza had given me. Trunks looked terrified when in described the fights but ara look at me in awe as if she wanted to join me and hear more.

"Raditz and I snook around them, waiting to attack while Nappa waited on the other end. We snook up slowly behind then. They never would have seen us. Yet out of the corner of my eye I saw one look back at me. Before he could even tell I charged at him and s--" I was about to finish till Bulma yelled.

"Vegeta! Don't you dare tell them stories like that! You'll give them nightmares!"

"Mom! I want to know how he did it! Please!!" Ara begged. Bulma glared and she growled in response.

"Fine. Brats bed" I ordered.

"But-"

"Now!" I yelled at ara.

She glared at me slightky and muttered under her breath "first you and mom argue for hours on end and now your mad at me..what the fuck else is new.."

I felt me heart stop.

End of flash back

I heard the door to the gravity room open. I glanced to see Ara standing there... She looked even worse...

Ara's PoV

"Hey dad.." I said, covering my mouth afterwards as I coughed heavily.

"Brat" he addressed me simply before going back to training. It didn't hurt to be ignored by dad as it was normal. Mom doing it did hurt a little, as she usually fawned over me like a new born child.

"What I miss?" I asked out of curiosity. My tail swaying anxiously behind me.

"Your brother is living with kakerot's family and you've missed two months worth of training" he told me in his usually tone.

"Well I can't train now dumbass, if that's what your implying" I answered him. He growled at my disrespect but at this moment I could care less.

"Where's my bag anyway? I want my stuff back" I asked him. I wasn't going to show him any respect as I was still furious with him and mom. Though I loved them I amn't showing it.

"Don't be so disrespectful brat! I am your father and King and I expect to be treated like it" he told me as he stopped training and came over to me with a glare. If he was trying to get me to back off he was failing miserable.

"Actually my grandfather is the King. Your still a prince, and even if you are my father, I am royalty too, and even though I don't brag about it as you always do, I don't have to bend down on one knee and glorify your childish ego!" I spat back with slight venom in my tone.
