One month after

A/N -I have yet to finish properly editing this chapter, I mostly just spaced it out and made a few corrections here and there. I will be making further amendments, but decided to still post this the now because.... why not...

********************************************

Kakarot was curled into a ball in bed, it was the only position he found comfortable, if he tried to even move slightly he'd have the impulse to throw up. Bardock stormed into the chamber and opened the curtains. Natural light pooled into the area bringing groaning sounds from Kakarot. Bardock stood observing his son staying in bed. He folded his arms and nudged Kakarot with his foot.

"You can't stay in bed all day, you need to eat as much as I don't mind not having to work right now. I don't really want to be spending my time babying you!"
Kakarot pulled the quilt over his head. He was so drained the thought of eating churned his stomach. Bardock pulled the bedding off Kakarot who let out a whine.

"Say. You don't eat, I'll have to get one of these servants to do vital checks and you know what that includes..." Bardock smirked waiting for his son to realise. On cue Kakarot shot out of bed his eyes enlarged. He feared needles and already knocked out a few of the doctors a couple of weeks ago when they were needing to do a quick check.  "Works every time" Bardock headed out the room as Kakarot frantically got dressed before rushing to the bathroom to throw up.

Vegeta had returned to Frieza with Nappa and Raditz from a recent raid. Vegeta gritted his teeth as he bowed in front of the tyrant. Each day passing he spent aboard Frieza's ship he was becoming irate, being bossed around; but to keep Frieza happy, he did as he was ordered.

"I have to say Prince Vegeta, you certainly have impressed me. You've presented some skills and exhibited no mercy to the inhabitants of the planets. You don't seem as weak as your father" Frieza smiled at the prince "I may have use for you and your monkey planet after all, good warrior race to do one's bidding so to speak, you may return home I've seen what I've needed to see from you. When I require you, you will come otherwise you can say goodbye to your father and the planet"

Vegeta bit his tongue, he learned his lesson not to argue back. He gave a courteous nod before he rose to his feet to leave.

"Oh and Vegeta!" Frieza grinned looking at him from the corner of his eye "Once your cub is of age to join the elite, they shall be brought here to be raised by myself" he sneered as Vegeta spun round to face him with the look of consternation." Oh? Didn't think I'd know about the filthy beta monkey, yeah I was going to take him and have him breed with another saiyan, but... I found another purpose for that saiyan. You know your father reports back to me as he's supposed to."

"Why would you want the cub? What value would a young one be to you?"

Nappa and Raditz looked at each other before looking at Frieza.

"I don't have to answer that, you may leave now"

"Yes you do have to answer that! Like Hell would I just hand over my cub to you."  Vegeta snarled about the lunge forward, he felt Nappa and raditz pull him back.

"Little monkey is getting brave again" Zarbon smirked "shall I teach him a lesson again?" He asked Frieza. Frieza smiled and shook his head.

"Vegeta, this never ended well with your father whenever he tried to go against us, so why would you think it would work well for you hm? You are lucky I'm in a very forgiven mood today. You may return home and play happy families with your beta"

"Ha! I don't give a shit about Kakarot!"

"Mm, I beg to differ" Frieza grinned "considering you are reluctant to hand over your future cub" he wrapped his tail around Vegetas neck and slowly raised Vegeta above the floor "whenever someone disrespects me" he slammed vegeta to the ground before lifting him again "they never last long." He slammed vegeta down again before releasing his tail. "Zarbon, take him to the medical bay before he heads home, will you?" Frieza grinned as he walked the opposite direction.

Nappa and Raditz helped the prince up as they followed Zarbon to the infirmary.

———————————————————-
Kakarot felt acute pains through his body. He whimpered a seldom, curling himself into a ball on the floor. Bardock looked down at his son confused. Servants rushed in to check Kakarot over.

"We best get him seen to by the doctor, he's only a month in the pregnancy!" Letta shouted out.

Kakarot tried to pull himself up as he heard everyone scurrying around him, the marking on his shoulder was burning him.

"I'm fine!" He said gritting through his teeth, holding on to his marking. Bardock noticed this and lifted an eyebrow.

"We can't take the risk, you need to get checked over!" Letta insisted.

"No way! Nuh-uh, I won't have needles anywhere near me!"

"There won't be any needles!" Letta lied to try and coax Kakarot to accompany her.

"Honestly, I feel fine now!"

"Kakarot! Just get yourself checked!" Bardock glared over at his son.

Kakarot sighed and followed the servants. Bardock watched Kakarot vanish from the room before rushing into the throne room, doors were kicked open. The king turned to glare at Bardock.

"Have you been in touch with your son recently?!" Bardock gave the king a stern look.

"Why?" The king raised a brow, seeing the concern on Bardock's face.

"Kakarot felt pain on his claim mark..."

"Ah it's probably to do with the cub starting to grow inside him." The king brushed it off as he tried to contact his son, Nappa answered, "Nappa?! Where's my son?."

"Uh... he's in the infirmary getting patched up we will then be on the way home." Nappa replied through Vegeta's transmitter.

The king sighed and looked over at Bardock who also sighed with relief.
