Chapter 1 – Trunks' Loss and His Joy
~*~ It's hard to think that the one I love the most won't be there forever. I'm going to miss her so much. She was fine yesterday, walking around the house getting ready for the baby, but now, now she's in the emergency room of Orange Star Hospital.
The doctors tell me that she won't make it and that they're putting the rest of their efforts into saving the baby. All I can do now is sit and wait, wait and see if I'll have anything at all after the night is over. For now I think I'll walk around and see what I can do to keep my mind from the worst. ~*~
Trunks put down his leather bound journal and start to walk down the hall toward the hospital cafeteria to see if there was anything good to eat, not that he would eat it anyway.
'Why the hell does this have to happen to me, to Pan. She didn't do anything; I mean she was like the perfect person. She is the perfect person.' Trunks thought as he walked through the door and up to the counter.
"So what'll you have today?" She was a pretty black haired beauty with blue highlights to complement her crystal blue eyes. Trunks didn't notice any of it though. His mind was off elsewhere. "Excuse me, sir?"
Trunks looked up and answered, "I'll take anything. Doesn't matter anyway." With that he took out is credit card and handed it to the women, who's name was Alison, or at least that's what the name tag said.
"Are you okay? Do you want to talk or something?"
"I don't see want it'll do." Trunks tried to maneuver out of talking, but the women just wouldn't have it. She'd worked here long enough to tell when someone needed to have a long talk and if there was anyone here that was good at listening it was her.
The women put her apron on a coat rack and grabbed two cups of coffee. She then crawled under the counter and walked behind Trunks' who was very reluctant to talking. They sat a small round table close to the two double doors that Trunks passed through just minutes before.
"So, what's your story?" She asked.
"Well before I tell you anything I would like to know who you are." Trunks said trying to delay the inevitable.
The Women put down her cup and looked up. "I'm so sorry I totally forgot to introduce my self. I'm Alison Delray, but I go by the name Ally. What's yours?"
"My name is Trunks Briefs." Trunks hand out his hand and Ally took it in her own and the shook hands.
"So are you going to tell me about why you're here? I only have a about ten minutes."
"Well to put it bluntly my wife is going to die and at the moment the doctors are trying to save my unborn child." He said looking down at his cup.
"I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do. I know what you're going through though. My mother died when I was fifteen while giving birth to my brother." Ally said taking a sip of her coffee.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Trunks really did feel sorry for her. Here he was a full-grown man grieving for his wife that hadn't even died yet and here she was a young girl without a mother. "How old are you?"
"I'm turning twenty- three in two days. Going to treat myself to a day off and a pedicure." She said smiling and looking at the clock.
At that moment a doctor walked in looking around. When he laid his eyes on Trunks he kept them there. " Mr. Briefs?" he asked looking grim.
"Yeah, that's me." Trunks said standing up knowing that this was the moment he would know if he had a child or not.
"I'm terribly sorry, but we weren't able to save your wife." Said the doctor.
"And my baby?" Trunks asked hopeful. If this baby didn't make it he didn't know what he was going to do. Pan was already gone, and what more would he have to live for if this child died to. Nothing.
"You have a healthy baby boy. Congratulations. You can go see him now in the nursery now if you want." He said and smiled when Trunks gave a sigh of relief.
After the doctor left Trunks sat down in his chair again and looked at the floor. Trunks was extremely grateful for his son, but the loss of his wife just hit hard. He leaned forward and put his head in his hand and started to cry.
It was when she saw the tears hit the floor that Ally knew that Trunks wouldn't be okay. She got up and knelt in front of him and put him in her arms for a comforting embrace. "Trunks? Do you want me to go with you to the nursery?" Ally asked not sure if he'd be fine on his own. "I can have Julia take over in here for me."
"Yeah. I'd like that a lot. Thank you." He said with tears still streaking his cheeks.
With that they got up and headed toward the nursery where Trunks' newborn son was. The hospital was so plain and blinding. The lights stung his eyes because they were so bright and he still had tears. The walls were washed white and the place just looked so sterile.
Trunks stopped short at a long thick glass window. Behind the clear washed glass were around twenty to thirty young babies, all only a day or two old. Trunks looked shocked at the sight of them all. How was he supposed to find his son? What was he going to do when he did see him? He didn't know the first thing about babies.
"Trunks, I'm going to go ask Tinny which one is your son. Do you want to go in with me?" Ally asked trying to be of some help.
"Yes please could you?" Trunks answered
"Of course." She replied smiling with a big smile. She turned to go into the door leading inside when she realized Trunks had decided to follow. "Hi Tinny. Could you tell me which one is Baby Briefs?"
"The one near the changing table should be him. His is the one with a white teddy bear.
Trunks walk of a boy with a white teddy bear. "Is this him?"
"No. That's the Taylor baby. Yours is the one with the blue blanket that has the black strip, not the white strip." Tinny whispered loudly.
"Thanks." Trunks walk up to the boy that fit the description and looked down. It was his son. He was beautiful. He had his blue eyes and his mother's round nose. The only thing that surprise Trunks was his blonde hair. The baby had a full head of bleach blonde hair.
"He's beautiful." Ally said walking up to him. "Do you know what you're going to name him?"
Trunks picked him up gently as to not hurt or harm him. He looked at him and thought a moment. Pan and him had never really talked about names. Then it hit him. "Yeah, I'm going to name him Daniel."
