Chapter 01
Gine awoke in the middle of the night with a sense of foreboding deep in the pit of her stomach, like something terrible would happen today. She rested her hand subconsciously on her swollen belly. Maybe today would be the day, she sure hoped so, her little one way already nearly two weeks late. She felt a strong kick against her fingers, at least she knew the baby was strong and healthy.She looked over at her mate Cassa, sleeping peacefully at her side. She was beautiful, her short dark brown hair spread out on the pillow beneath her. It seems a shame to wake her when she looks so serene and rested, but the feeling in Gine’s stomach was slowly becoming painful. A sense of serenity enveloped Gine and she knew now, she was finally going to meet her little one.
Gine was almost certain it was a little girl, and she would name her Cassa, after the woman she loved. Cassa on the other hand would have laid money that it is a little boy. Neither woman really minded either way as long as the baby was healthy and happy.
She nudged Cassa awake
“Hey”
“What?”
“You need to get up”
“Whyyyy?” Cassa moaned in a sleepy voice
“Because the baby is coming” Cassa’s eyes flew open and she sprung from the bed so fast that she nearly hit the wall in their tiny bedroom
“Are you sure?”
“Definite”
Gine laid on the bed in quiet calmness as Cassa panicked and flapped around gathering hospital bags and calling the nurse, she briefly wondered how her mate was remaining so calm on the biggest day of both their lives, but she was pleased whatever the reason. It would have been a nightmare if they both ran around like headless chickens.
Cassa knew she was going to be a busy lady for the next couple of weeks, a caesarean section was major surgery after all. Cassa would have to nurse Gine back to health and look after her baby until she recovered. Cassa was the youngest of her large family and had no clue how to care for a baby, but for Gine, she would do anything.
Her thoughts drift back to the day Gine told her she was pregnant. Her first reaction had been total elation, closely followed by crippling fear and slight annoyance.
Since all Saiyans are parthenogenic, Gine didn’t need a mate to conceive, this was her baby and her baby alone, so the fact that she didn’t discuss it with Cassa first shouldn’t have annoyed her at all, but it did. Cassa wasn’t sure she was ready to bring up a child, but after seeing how happy Gine was to be a mother, she was sure as hell gonna give it her all. She would love this baby like it was her own. After all it was a piece if Gine, how could she not love it.
The midwife arrived shortly to take the couple to hospital. At this ungodly hour of the morning the dark roads were deserted, the street lights reflecting off the dark puddles left an eerie glow down the street. It was a short drive, it only took them ten minutes to arrive, but even in that short time the pain Gine was feeling had increased tenfold, she limped out of the car and across the parking lot, this little baby wasn’t wasting any time.
Cassa decided to carry Gine most of the way, they had to walk through the ward to get to the private room where Dr Calli would examine Gine to see if she was ready for the operation now. The walls of the long wide room were lined with beds containing men and women either holding their new bundles of joy or waiting for the opp to deliver them. The atmosphere was a mixture of happiness and anticipation, it made Cassa nervous.
The Doctor gestured to a bed and Cassa set Gine gently down upon it. Dr Calli was an interesting looking man, but an amazing doctor none the less, he always put his patients mind at ease. He had long blond poker straight hair and sparkling blue eyes, neither Cassa nor Gine had ever seen a Saiyan like this before. But they quickly became used to his unusual appearance when they discovered how nice and friendly he was.
“Hi Gine” he smiled
“I’m just going to have a feel of your tummy and see where baby is ok”
Gine nodded and smiled back. The Doctor felt her stomach and his eyebrows shot up in surprise as the baby kicked him so hard it made his hand bounce up a few inches, his laugh was reassuring.
“We had better get you straight into surgery Gine, this little one seems in a hurry”
Despite his relaxed body language his words scared Cassa, Saiyan babies that were left inside when ready to come out have been known to tear their own way out, often killing the mother in the process. Gine seemed happy and relaxed so Cassa tried her best to do the same. She knew she could trust Dr Calli to make sure everything went smoothly.
Gine could feel her mate’s apprehension but chose to ignore it, she needed to stay calm for her baby’s sake. She closed her eyes and tried her hardest to detach herself from the situation.
The operation passed in a blur for both women. Gine managed to stay tranquil the whole way through, the epidural she was given stopped her felling any pain, so she laid on the bed happy and composed. Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Cassa, who had a slight panic attack and nearly fainted the second Dr Calli cut into Gine’s belly. Luckily for her the nurse noticed the colour drain from her face and brought her a chair and a drink of water just in time. Cassa and Gine held hands through the surgery, each comforting and reassuring the other.
It took a lifetime but eventually a small hot body was placed on Gine’s chest. She looked down at the squished little face and her heart stopped beating, it was the most perfect beautiful face she had ever seen. Her love swelled in her chest and she was overwhelmed by all the strong emotions. She had no idea she was capable of loving as unconditionally and instantly as this. She held her baby close and kissed his little wet head as the doctor sewed her up.
“He’s a little boy, I told ya” Cassa said smiling, happy tears cascading down her cheeks.
“Does he have a name” asked Dr Calli as he finished up with a little bead to hold his stitching in place.
“I will call him Kakarot, a beautiful name, for a beautiful boy”
The nurse took little Kakarot to the corner of the room where she dressed him in a little white sleep suit. She placed him gently on the machine that would weight him and measure his power-level.
He weighed in at a healthy 8 pound ten ounces, big boy. She then turned on the scouter and it immediately bleeped wildly, her face fell. She tried turning the machine off then on again, praying it was broken. Again the same reading.
“Dr Calli” she called out trying to hide the panic from her voice but failing, the Doctor quickly moved to her, when he saw the reading his shoulders slumped.
“What can we do?” the nurse whispered
“Nothing, they already know” the Doctor answered with unshed tears in his eyes.
Gine and Cassa noticed the change in their demeanour and it scared them
“What’s wrong?” asked Cassa pushing past them to look at Kakarot, she too saw the power-level reading
“Twelve thousand? That can’t be right he’s just a baby. That’s higher than my power-level”
“I’m so sorry, it’s not wrong. You need to get out of here, now”. The Doctor could no longer hold back his tears and they slid silently down his face. He knew from years of experience that running would not help, there was only one possible outcome of this sad scenario, but they had to try.
“Gine, we have to leave now” Cassa barked
“What? I’ve just had a baby, I still can’t feel my legs”
“His power-level is twelve thousand, they are going to kill him” Cassa shouted.
Gine, like everyone else had heard the stories. Whenever a child was born with a power-level over five thousand, king Vegeta would order it killed. He says that kind of power could become a threat to the whole planet when the child grows up. Panic slices Gine’s heart, sharp as a blade.
“Get us out of here Cassa” she screams at her mate.
Cassa wastes no time in scooping Kakarot up in one arm and Gine in the other.
“Go out the back door, good luck” Dr Calli told them as he ushered them towards a small rusty door, that led to the parking lot at the back of the small hospital. Cassa ran as fast as she could with her heavy burdens, she didn’t get very far.
As if out of nowhere three elite soldiers surrounded them, all wearing scouters.
“Stay back” Cassa screamed “I’m warning you”. The three men acted as if she hadn’t spoken a word. She tries to run passed them but is pulled back.
“Please don’t hurt my baby” Gine sobs uncontrollably, willing her legs to stop being numb and unusable from the epidural, but knowing they would be useless against these men anyway.
The man with the longest hair presses the button on his scouter, it bleeps in quick succession then stops.
“Impressive, the king wants this one, I’ll take him” he declares holding his arms out for the baby. Cassa gently puts Gine and Kakarot down and turns to face the man, powering up to her highest level.
“Over my dead body” she growled and got into a fighting stance
“Very well” the man said calmly as he flicked his long black hair over his shoulder. A Ki blast shot from his hand and hit Cassa directly in the chest, killing her instantly. Her body fell to the ground with a thud. Gine screamed a spine chilling scream and dragged herself and her baby over to where her dead mate fell. She felt half of herself die along with Cassa. She wailed even louder as her baby was prised from her grasp and she was left on her knees howling over her mate’s dead body.
The man with the long hair held the baby carefully.
“Someone put her out of her misery please, she won’t survive anyway now” he ordered. One of the other men quickly complied and Gine was killed in a flash.
Baby Kakarot snivelled in his arms totally unaware of the tragedy around him.
“Ok I’ll take him some place safe until he is old enough to fight, someone clean up this mess” he gestured to the two dead women on the ground and left without another word.
