>>6305845Looking between the two of them, you suddenly understand. More than your son at the moment, as you remember back to the times your wife would come to you desperate for you to not throw yourself into battle. Seems she also harbors such deep feelings, but not about him fighting. But about spending more of his time with her. So, you decide to speak up, to try and step in before their feelings overflow into resentment or anger.
“And what about you?” you ask, turning fully to Koriand'r. “What is it that you want?”
“Me?” she replies, a bit surprised by your straightforwardness. “I...I want to spend time with my husband before the baby's born.”
She says, and from the corner of your eye, you can almost see the sudden focus from your son, the intensity with which he takes her answer in. Clearly thinking things over, eyes looking back and forth behind his eyelids.
“I just want to spend time more time with my husband. With you.” she says, turning from you to him. Broly's eyes opening as he meets her eyes. “Come on Broly. Let's go home.”
“I...” he starts, voice trailing off. Looking around uncertainly, from her to you to Meloka and to Elder Pybara. Who gives your son a small nod before speaking.
“You should spend some time with your family.” the elder says gently. “Your spiritual balance has been restored, after that monster took control of your body. For now, take some time to be with your kin. Once your child is born, and once you're ready, you can return to continue your training. I shall be here.”
“I...y... Very well. Thank you, everyone.” Broly says, unfurling his tail and leaping down, landing beside his sitting wife, gently picking her up in his arms. “Are you ready to go?”
“Always.” she says to him with a smile, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning up, kissing him. She then turns to you, sending you a quick telepathic, “Thank you.”
“No problem.” you reply to her, also telepathically before addressing your son. “Once this tournament's over, if you want, I might be able to help you. While Freeza and I were in the chamber, I learned quite a bit about the Berserker Soul. And might help you in becoming one with it, without losing yourself.”
He looks you up and down, realizing you're still transformed and have been the entire time.
