>>6081627"Off? No, we're actually ahead of schedule right now. Even the bigwigs who came in from the Blarg today are impressed with our progress " he replies, then with a knowing look leans in. "Look, I may not look it, but I'm actually a great-grandfather and husband myself. Take ten minutes, go check up on that pregnant wife of yours and make sure she's okay, kid. But every minute you're late, I'm taking it out of your pay, got it?"
"Understood, thank you." you reply, almost snapping a Saiyan salute on reflex. But you resist it with nothing more than an arm twitch, sharing a nod with your fellow former soldier and taking off into the air. In seconds you've left the worksite behind, flying over the mountains and towards your home.
You are Raditz, husband of Redis, son of Bardock and Gine, and have recently become a father-to-be. When a certain someone's father showed up to your isolated, abandoned world before, you both had left it behind. Instead choosing to live a quiet life on a not-so-isolated world, instead a world whereby suppressing your powers you wouldn't be as detectable. And after arriving, your wife first told you she'd gotten pregnant. You were overjoyed and terrified all at once, horrified at the thought of what that crazy bitch would do to your wife and child if she ever found this out.
"Don't worry, she can't find you here." you mutter to yourself as you fly, trying to reassure yourself while keeping your powers suppressed despite the growing worry in your gut. Her father finding you before was a fluke, you've not sensed any of them before or since. At least General Karn was good to his word, as you haven't sensed her of any of his family anywhere close to you or your home. You fly down to the little village, sensing out for your wife and finding her at home fly over to the front door. As you drop the door opens, Redis smiling up at you.
"Well, you're home early. Everything okay?" she asks, expression changing to one of slight worry. But you shake your head, landing and embracing her in your arms. She presses herself to you, enjoying the embrace and hugging you back. "Hehe, what's this about?"
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." you answer, reluctantly pulling back a bit and meeting her gaze. "Just had a bad feeling, was all."
"Raditz. I'm fine." she says, reaching up and placing her hands on either side of your face. Staring intently into your eyes, forcing you to meet her gaze. "Everything's just fine, I'm okay. We're both okay."
Saying this she lowers a hand from your face to her slightly-swollen belly, the first signs of your first child growing within her.
