"I know." Gine said sadly, as she picked up Kakarot. He flinched from her touch as if he was expecting to be punished, but Gine just held him tight as she went on.
"That's why Frieza chose us to be his elite warriors in his empire. We were bred for war due to our violent nature. Since joining the Planet Trade Organization we were able to find better ways to conquer and get stronger, and brainwashing babies was one of them."
Gine looked down at Kakarot in her arms as she explained all this to Gohan, but she looked at him without seeing him though, staring off into space.
"I went through the incubation process too, like every other Saiyan. But I guess it never really took hold since I always hated killing, even when I was an infiltration baby." She said wryly.
"That's a very good thing." Gohan said to her.
Gine was touched by his words since she never thought she'd get to hear them spoken to her.
"I'm glad too." Gine said, her smile downturned though when she looked at Kakarot again. "I just hope it never took hold in him too."
Gohan looked at Kakarot, the boy looking back and forward between them as if he knew they were talking about him.
"Well, I don't think it may have. He has the same kind eyes you have, and you could tell a lot about someone that way. I think he's as gentle a soul as you are. And besides, he's only just begun his life. With you around to nurture him, he will turn out fine." Gohan said thoughtfully.
I hope so, Gine thought. Kakarot did indeed have her eyes and had the look of innocence within him. But the incubation process was meant to drive all of that away. She was a rare exception while everyone else turned out to be the battle-hungry Saiyans they were born to be. Raditz turned out to be such a warrior, who's to say that Kakarot won't either?
But Gohan was right in one thing: she was here. Like she told Bardock she would. With her around, she could teach their son to be a good person, to undo all the evil that was put into his mind. She would still tell him of his heritage, but she would make sure to let him have a chance to be an actual innocent child who could grow as his own person and not as a pawn of an emperor.
"I think he can too." Gine smiled, knowing the task ahead of her as a mother. Then said teasingly to her son, "You better be."
Kakarot just stared back at his mom, wondering what she was saying to him.
"Anyways, let's see if we can try this again." Said Gohan, holding up the tunic.
Gine set Kakarot back down and gave him a look that told him to behave this time. He looked like he hated being told to go against something his brain was urging him to do like attacking, but now he knew better than to disobey his mother.
With Kakarot pacified, Gohan fitted the blue open-chested gi on him and tied it up with a white belt. It was a little big, but he should grow into it. Kakarot played his hands over the fabric, fascinated.
Gine looked over her son and approved of Gohan's work.
"You look nice, Kakarot. Say thank you to Grandpa Gohan for making you that." She instructed.
Kakarot turned to Gohan and babbled something in gibberish. Gohan smiled as the boy was learning his manners fast. But Kakarot paused at the last piece of gibberish he was trying utter, then repeated something he noticed his mother said about the man who was in front of him.
"G...Gwandpa." Kakarot said, pointing his tiny finger towards Gohan.
Gine gasped, shocked that he had just spoken his first word. But she was even more surprised and delighted by how he addressed Gohan.
Gohan meanwhile smiled warmly. "Grandpa…" he said to Kakarot pointing towards himself. "Grandpa Gohan." He repeated, liking the sound of that.
Then he pointed a finger towards Kakarot's chest. "You, Kakarot." Gohan cooed and poked the boy's chest. Kakarot giggled.
"K...Ka...Kaka.. wot." The boy said, trying to form the word with his mouth's newfound ability. Gohan could hardly believe that this boy was not yet a year old and was already walking and trying to speak.
"That's right!" Gine beamed. She bent down at eye level with her son and pointed a finger at herself.
"Mama" she said, then pointed to Kakarot.
"Kakarot." Then back to herself. "Mama".
Kakarot starred at his mother for few long seconds with his big wide eyes, then pointed to her. "Ma... ma." He said, then pointed toward himself as if unsure. "Ka..Kakawot."
"Good job!" Gine said happily, then hugged her son.
"I can't believe how fast your son
is growing." Gohan spoke the same thought she was having.
