King Vegeta sat in the throne room listening to the elite warriors who had just returned from another one of Frieza's successful missions. Suddenly one of the king's servants came in running and bowing in front of the king. "What is the meaning of this?" The king asked, "The queen is in labor, your highness" the servant shakily replied back. The king quickly got up from his throne and rushed to the nursery. When he walked into the room he saw his mate giving birth to their cub, he rushed over and grabbed her hand. "I'm here love, I'm here" he said.

"Ok your majesty, push" the doctor said, the queen did as instructed and pushed. "Again" he instructed, and she did "one more time" he stated. After the final push, the sudden crys of a baby silenced the room. "Congratulations, your majesties, you have a strong healthy son". The doctor wrapped the little cub in a warm blue blanket and handed him to the queen. The doctor finishes taking care of the queen, and left to give the new parents some privacy.

"He looks just like you Vege" the queen said to her mate. "Yeah, he's small like you though" the king replied. "What are we going to name him?" The queen asked, "Vegeta the III" he replied. The new parents smiled as they looked down at the little prince, who was sleeping peacefully. Then leaned over and kissed the queen on the cheek. "I have to go love, Frieza said he wanted to have a meeting with the council and myself, and I don't want to keep him waiting" the king said as he leaned down to kiss the little prince's forehead. After that he walked to the door and turned the knob. "Be careful please, and don't make him angry" the queen halfway pleaded. "I'll try" he replied and with that he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

King Vegeta was walking back to the throne room when his sister's mate walked out of one of the nursery rooms. "Your majesty, your sister has given birth to a strong healthy daughter" the princess's mate said. "Strong huh?" The king replied. "That surprises me Turles, seeing as your a low level third class" he added. Turles lowered his head with a growl "she wanted you to meet her" Turles growled. "Don't take that tone with me third class, and I don't have time to meet your cub. I have a meeting to attend to." The king replied as he glared at Turles one last time before stomping away to the throne room.

King Vegeta entered the throne room to see Frieza seeing in his throne chair. He had to hold back from glaring at the ice-jin, who already had his eyes on the king. "King Vegeta, how's my favorite monkey today?" Frieza asked. The king held back a growl at the insult and replied "Good, Lord Frieza". "I heard your mate gave birth to your cub, Vegeta, tell me is this true?" Frieza asked. The king glared at his fellow council men who all squirmed under his heavy glare, before he replied "yes, lord Frieza, it's true". The ice-jin smirked coldly at the king before asking "say, you wouldn't mind if I met the little monkey prince would you?" The king's tail visibly fluffed up showing his unease about letting the ice-jin see his new cub. He wanted to say 'yes I do mind' but then he thought of what his mate had said to him, "please don't make him angry". The king decided to take his mate's advice. "Of course not, Lord Frieza, he's in the nursery" he finally replied. The ice-jin finally rose from the king's throne and signaled his two main henchmen, Zarbon and Dodoria, to follow him to the nursery the king was leading them to.

     The king led Frieza and his men down the long hallway of the palace to the nursery. They soon arrived and the king opened the door to the nursery, they walked quietly inside, to not disturb the cubs. The king walked up to where the royal and elite cubs were. The king noticed his son almost right away and smiled slightly. The smile didn't last long though when he saw who the cub next to him was. What made the king even more angry was what he saw his son and this cub doing doing. They were smiling and cooing while looking at each other. Before the king could get his anger under control he shouted "who placed my son next to this low class". Both cubs flinched at the sudden shout both began to cry. A female nurse came up to the king and bowed before saying "your highness we placed Karroto next to the prince since she is also a royal". "She's a half royal, and as far as I'm concerned has no right to be placed next to my son" the king replied. The cubs started to cry louder when the king raised his voice again. The nurse took deep breath before replying "your highness I must ask that you not yell, I don't want to upset more cubs, we didn't only put Karroto next to Vegeta because she was a royal, she also has almost the same power level as the prince" the nurse replied firmly. The king's face turned to an expression of shock and then flashed to one of anger. "That's impossible, her father is a low class soldier, there's no way she could be on the same level as my son" the king snapped.
    
     The nurse was about to reply when she was cut off by someone clearing their throat. The nurse and the king looked behind them to find Frieza, Zarbon, and Dodoria all with amused expressions on their faces. "You know, Vegeta there's a simple way to see if they're equal" the ice-jin said. Vegeta had forgotten that Frieza and his men were even there. The king just looked at the ice-jin suspiciously, and Frieza had noticed. "Relax, I'm not going to harm them, simply test their power levels with a scouter" he said. The cubs had calmed down since the yelling had stopped and now the cubs were just watching them   curiously. Frieza nodded to Zarbon, Zarbon walked up to the cubs to test their power levels. He first walked up to the prince, and the scouter read 21, he then walked up to Karroto and the scouter read 19. The king was shocked when he saw how close Karroto truly was to the prince's power level. Frieza didn't like the fact that the cubs were already this strong for just being born today, in fact he was slightly worried about an old saiyan legend known as the super saiyan his father, King Cold, had told him about. But then he came up with an idea to solve his worry of the legend coming true. He smiled as he said "Vegeta, I have a deal for you" Frieza said. "A deal?" The king replied, he didn't really like the sound of that knowing how the ice-jin was. "Yes. The deal is that when Vegeta and Karroto are old enough, you will let them serve under my command in the Frieza force, where I personally give them assignments. In exchange, I will not blow up your planet if you obey me" Frieza explained. The king looked over to the cubs, he now saw that they had both peacefully fallen asleep, the king smiled a little internally at sight of the small content cubs. He hadn't noticed before but Karroto was nearly a clone of the prince, except she was a little smaller, and had more bangs then the prince. The king hated the idea of giving his son up, and he'd never admit, but he also hated giving up his niece to the ice-jin as well. But seeing as he had no other choice, since he knew if he refused, Frieza would just blow them up now. So with hesitance and slight regret, the king finally replied "yes Lord Frieza, I accept the deal".

This is the first chapter of my first dragon ball book, I've had this idea forever, and I've decided to finally start writing it. Please let me know if there's any mistakes, or any tips you have. 😁
