The unbreakable bond

The Prince Returns.

The king stood outside the palace with two of his guards, there was an eerie atmosphere around them as they awaited for the prince arrival. Bright lights shone in front of them from the ship,soon as the ship landed he started to walk forward. The prince took step out with Nappa and Raditz following behind him.
"Ah! My son has returned!" The king welcomed them in open arms, Vegeta stood there folding his arms.
"Cut the crap father, what happened whilst I was gone?"
Nappa and Raditz kept their distance as they could sense awkward tension between them both.
"I haven't seen you in a while and this is how you approach me?!" The king tutted at his son. "If you must know, your mate is now bearing your cub"
"Anything else?" Vegeta questioned as he and his father started to head back into the palace.
"I had Bardock to stay here to keep an eye, the low class beta would of just harassed me otherwise. We were made to believe you'd of been gone longer?" The king looked at his son who was staring ahead as they entered the corridor.
"He no longer required our assistance, for now so allowed us to come back here" the Prince didn't really want to talk about what had happened or the humiliation he endured. He looked at his father who seemed to of got the hint by judging his sons facial expression.
"I see, well I shall leave you to rest son" they stood outside the Prince bedroom, vegeta just nodded at his father and waited for his father to walk away before entering his room.
He slowly closed his bedroom door behind him and took a deep breath closing his eyes, he heard a groan from over the bed. Vegeta opened his eyes and could see Kakarot hurdled up in the bed with blankets, he looked rough. Vegeta sat at the edge of the bed looking down at the tired looking sayian.
"What's wrong with you?" Vegeta rubbed Kakarots arm, kakarot pulled himself up he glared at the prince.
"Well I'm pregnant..."
"Shit! No way? Aren't you suppose to have sex for that to happen?" The prince responded sarcastically, as he saw Kakarot throw himself back down on the bed he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Glad you find this funny!" Kakarot pouted cradling his stomach with his tail.
"You're not wrong Kakarot...I find it hilarious!" The prince chuckled some more.
"When were you going to tell me about joining Freiza?" Kakarot slowly sat himself back up, he saw how quickly the princes facial reaction changed, from smirking and chuckling to no emotion.
"Kakarot, you don't need to know about things like that!"
"You know, it's not fair! I would love to be given the chance to fight, instead I'm busy spewing my guts up..."
"Oh poor you!" The prince snorted as he got up from the bed, he started to strip down to his boxers; he noticed Kakarot hiding his face under the blankets. "What's the matter? You are behaving like you've never seen another mans body before" the prince smirked as he slowly climbed into bed next to his pregnant mate.
Kakarot pulled himself to sit up more, he sighed looking down at his mother's pendant. Vegeta watched as he took the chain off and placed it on top of the bedside table. It was the first time the prince had ever seen him take the chain off, he watched Kakarot curled up on his side again with his back facing Vegeta. Vegeta's tail curled around Kakarots, he stroked Kakarots arm with his hand staring at the back of him he could tell how sick Kakarot was feeling.
"Vegeta..." came a quiet voice from the curled up sayian.
"Hm?"
"Do you...love ...me?" Kakarot bit onto the blanket blushing hard at even asking that. Taken back by what he was asked Vegeta moved his hand back to himself, but left his tail wrapped around Kakarots. Whenever he heard those words it would unsettle him slightly. He wasn't one for expressing such emotions. Kakarot could sense the awkwardness as silence filled the room "Sorry, it's just something my mother always said to me, and it always left a warm feeling in my heart"
"Could of just been indigestion" the prince retorted
There was a pause, silence filled the room again neither sayian knew what to say next. Kakarot untwined his tail from Vegetas and ran to the bathroom. Vegeta sat up looking in the direction his mate ran to.
"Kakarot?" Just as he called out his name he heard retching , he sighed and got out of bed. He saw Kakarot leaning over the toilet throwing up. Vegeta crouched down and rubbed Kakarots back, Kakarots tail curled a little as he felt his back being rubbed. Kakarot slowly eased himself back up, he looked at Vegeta giving him a funny look it wasn't like Vegeta to be so caring like that. Vegeta got up and started to fill the bath, kakarot leaned against the bathroom wall the cold wall giving him some relief after sweating so much from vomiting. He looked at Vegeta smiling a little, vegeta glared over at him.
"What?!"
"Nothing, it's just...you are being so nice to me"
"Hn, that's only because you are carrying my cub low class" vegeta swirled his hand around the bath water to check the temp "your bath is ready" He dried his hands on the towel and was about to head back into the bedroom. Kakarot grabbed the prince and stared deeply into his eyes.
"Thank you..."
Vegeta nodded and left Kakarot to have a bath in peace. As Kakarot was laying in the bath, the warm water soothing his stomach; Vegeta was stood outside at the balcony looking up at the starry sky. Flashbacks from his mission came flooding in causing the prince to tense up.

"You know monkey prince, you should really know not to ever speak to Frieza like that!" Zarbon had Vegeta chained up by his arms, Zarbon whipped across Vegeta's bare skin the sharp intense pain caused him to scream out in pain. "Such an ugly thing" he whipped again, he whipped a good few times causing Vegeta to pass out and whenever he did he had ice cold water thrown at him to wake him up.

The prince gritted his teeth, he had to endure a lot for challenging the tyrant. He knew how powerful Freiza is, his fists shook in anger remembering how the tyrant said he'd have his cub. He had to train if he wanted to have any chance to protect what's his.
