In Your Dreams: Chapter 28

Vegeta wasn't a patient man, so keeping quiet while he watched Goku tug at his own hair and babble senselessly about the possibility of being pregnant was nothing short of a miracle. The prince had been watching the younger Saiyajin freak out for the past ten minutes, and he only chose to interrupt when it became clear there was no end in sight.

''Kakarotto.''

He received no answer, and Vegeta's eye twitched as his mate ran past him for the hundredth time as he yelled about something that had to do with the birthing process; like, how was THAT supposed to work?

The older man sighed and casually stuck out his foot when Goku came near again. The Saiyajin tripped over the appendage and squawked as he hit the dirt.

''Kakarotto!''

Goku sat up and glared at Vegeta as he brushed himself off. His tail lashed behind him in irritation. ''What?!''

''Baka! I said you MIGHT be pregnant! I don't know how it works. You probably have to be in heat to become fertile!''

The younger man didn't seem comforted by his mate's words, however, and the panicked expression on his face only became more obvious as he looked down at his stomach and poked at the firm abs beneath his shirt.

''I need to know! Is it old enough to kick yet?! Come feel! DON'T JUST STAND THERE!!!''

A vein on Vegeta's forehead throbbed as his annoyance built, and he grit his teeth in an attempt to fight back the barrage of insults he wanted to spew at Kakarotto. However, yelling wasn't going to help anything, so with a miraculous show of restraint, the prince spoke in a calm and even tone.

''If you want to find out if you're pregnant right now, Bulma can do a blood test. If you want to wait, you can simply piss on a stick.''

Goku wrinkled his nose at the two options. ''I don't want a needle.''

The older man rolled his eyes. ''Then you need to wait.''

''I don't want to have to do the other thing either.''

Vegeta finally allowed a growl to leave his throat. ''Then wait until you start puking in the morning!''

Goku huffed indignantly. ''I don't WANT to puke my guts out either!''

The prince's tail lashed behind him as he glared down at the other Saiyajin. Perhaps this was Kakarotto's way of telling him he didn't want to be pregnant at all. He could understand. It couldn't be an easy thing for the younger man to accept, and he'd already made it clear early on that the idea of carrying a child was 'weird' to him; however, the realization was still hard for Vegeta to accept. It almost felt like a rejection. Any other Saiyajin would have jumped at the chance to carry his heir, and to have his own chosen mate recoil at the very idea was a blow to his pride.

Vegeta cast Goku one last look before turning away. It was best he end this conversation now before he said something he didn't mean. So, with the flick of his tail, the prince blasted into the air and headed back toward Capsule Corp, leaving his flustered and confused mate behind.

Goku sighed as he watched the older man go. He'd caught the small flash of hurt that had passed over Vegeta's face before he'd left, even though he had tried to hide it behind his usual scowl.
