"Let me go with him." She demanded.
Bardock paused for a moment, his anger at her stopping him was replaced with shock at what she said.
"What?!" He asked incredulously.
"I said let me go with him!" Gine looked at Bardock with determination.
"Gine, are you crazy?! I told you that we can't go! We don't have any more time to argue!" Bardock nearly shouted back at her.
"Yes we do!" She said, putting herself between Bardock and the pod. "He'll die out there if we send him away by himself! And if Kakarot makes it to that planet and Frieza doesn't go after him, he'll be all alone for the rest of his days. If I go with him, I could at least be around to look after him."
"Didn't you hear me?!" Bardock answered back hotly, "Frieza's men will detect you two if you launch together. It won't do him any good!"
"Maybe it will!" Gine shouted back, this took Bardock by surprise.
"Kakarot is extremely weak. You know this. I'm weak too. You said so yourself!" She pointed an accusatory finger at him. The inspiration came to her as she explained her plan to Bardock. She was too caught up on going with Kakarot to know how, but it made sense as she spoke.
"So, with both him and I in the same pod, don't you think it wouldn't make much of a difference if they detect two weak Saiyans instead of just one?"
Bardock tried to speak but stopped. Like he seemed to understand, then spoke up.
"It won't work. They'll see you for sure and blow you out of the sky. It's too big of a chance."
"I know." Gine admitted, for it was a very big chance. They didn't have a scouter to see what her power level was now, Bardock left his behind since he didn't want anyone to listen in on what they were doing. But last time she checked it may have been four-hundred-and-forty, before Kakarot was born. It was pathetic for a full-grown adult Saiyan, but still detectable on any scouter. And if she got a power boost from childbirth, which could have put her up to five hundred, they'll see them for sure.
"But we are already taking a chance as it is to save Kakarot. At least this way, two of us could be saved. And he will never have to spend the rest of his life all by himself on some godforsaken rock in the middle of nowhere."
Gine held Bardock's hand gently as she looked pleadingly into his hardened eyes. "I would be there for him. To tell him about us, about you, Raditz, our race, Frieza, everything."
She looked back at Kakarot still wailing in the pod, then back to Bardock, her eyes glistening with tears. "I will get to be his mother! He deserves that."
Bardock was silent for what felt like an eternity to Gine. She knew that he was basically deciding her fate along with their son, and that didn't sit well with her. Even if she was a sorry excuse of a Saiyan, she should at least be able to have a say in how she lived or died if this was indeed going to be their last day on their world.
And despite the risk, Gine knew deep down that she was right. Her baby deserved a chance for a better life far away from Frieza, and she could give him that by going where he went, to give him guidance and protection, like any real mother would...
"Then what of the inhabitants of this planet?" Bardock asked. "You intent to kill them all off with him or make them your pets? Should be weak enough even for you."
Gine almost laughed, taking it as a good sign. Even near the end of the world he was still taking any potshot he could at her lack of strength, but she felt that Bardock was almost convinced.
"Maybe, but at least he won't have to be so alone." She just said. Gine honestly had no intentions to kill those poor creatures unless it was for her survival and for Kakarot's. But she wouldn't say that out loud, just enough to make Bardock happy.
He looked at her, then at Kakarot for a long, long moment.
Then, finally, Bardock sighed as he relented.
"Alright."
Gine leapt at him before he knew it, wrapping her arms around him and nearly choking him. Hot tears of joy and sadness fell down her cheeks.
"Thank you." She said softly. Bardock held her by the waist and brought her back down.
"But you better get going now. We've wasted enough time as it is."
Gine nodded in agreement and collected herself. She feared that if she hesitated
now, she won't be able to do what she intended to do.
