Break My Fall: Chapter 1-How You Remind Me

This is how you remind me of who I really am

Two Years Later

Everyone knows the relief when you are no longer drowning in regret, sorrow, and pain. I finally understand what it actually means to live life again and that is only because of one simple conversation at the bar. It has been two years since I have even thought about going back to that bar. I mainly stay at home with my lovely lady and helping the two greatest friends of my life.

One day I decided Gohan and I needed time to bond, so we went out to see a baseball game. Yeah, I understand it is a typical way for any two people to bond, I had tickets and I didn't know if Trunks were able to get off work in time to get to the game. I had an astounding time with my only sibling.

I bet you guys are wondering did I ever get married to my lovely fiancée, and I did. Trunks by far helped me out the most with our wedding once Paris allowed more people to help her. And I shall tell you he threw me one hell of a bachelor party. To this day, I'll remember the speech Trunks slurred; I have never seen him so drunk before. Mainly since Michaela was at least four to five months old, Marron wanted him to demonstrate a good example for his daughter.

"Goten, you are my brother, my best friend and importantly in my wolf pack." Trunks slurred as he drank more of his miller light bottle. "I'll admit I was probably a bit of manwhore and betrayed you many times when we were teenagers and I need to apologize for that. I can't just get over the fact my best friend is getting married. Bros before hoes, nuts before skinny sluts, mates before dates. You get my point, but Goten you are the god parent of my child, the best friend to me and my wife and hell of an awesome person. I'm glad you got over your road block four months ago. Get ready for the rest of your life; it's the best thing that you are waiting for. Cheers to Goten Son!" He shouted in the whole bar.

Even though that day I was utterly humiliated, his speech is what meant to me the most even though he was drunk and didn't remember a single thing.

Our wedding was gorgeous in my eyes. We flew our family out to Jamaica and had a beautiful beach wedding. Even though, we were risking the chance of it raining or being extremely hot, I guess Dende wanted to be nice to us. It was the perfect temperature.

Trunks was my best man and my brother along with a few coworkers and Rick were my groomsmen. Paris' maid of honor was Marron and she had few cousins as her bridesmaids. Michaela was our flower girl and she was absolutely adorable.

We decided to have our honeymoon in Bahamas. Yeah, I know, it sounds so cliché.

About a half a year ago, Paris and I received the best news to date. She found out that she was pregnant and the both of us couldn't be happier. Right now she is six months pregnant and we will be having a baby boy in three months. Our dream of making a family is coming closer each day.

And the day Lane arrives would be the second best day of my life, I would say. I clearly remember on how happy Trunks and Marron were when they brought their gorgeous daughter Michaela Briefs into his world. I'm hoping that Paris and I will receive the same amount of happiness.

The best thing that had happened to me in the last two years were becoming closer to my older brother. Gohan and I were inseparable when we were younger. At least once a month we get together in person and just talk. Lately, he has been giving me advice for when my baby boy comes. He knows I have a fear of being a horrible father even though everyone knows I won't be.

My life has finally fallen in the place that I wanted it to. And there is nothing that can change it otherwise.

I sighed heavily as I climbed up to the stairs to Paris and I's pent house. The elevator has been broken for the last couple of days, and carrying my three bags up the stairs is not easy. I fumbled around in my pocket to find my house key. Once I grabbed it, I placed it in the lock and unlocked the door.

I heard the pattern of laughing which means Paris had invited Marron over. "Paris, darling, I'm home." I said once I stumbled into our home. I tossed my keys on the counter and dropped all three of my bags on the floor. Bulma was right being Capsule Corp's only accountant is tough, but I can take it.

"Goten, we are in the family room." Paris shouted. I pushed my bags out of the way and made my way over to the family room. "Glad to see that you are home." She said as she got up to give me a kiss on the lips.

"Rough day at work." I replied after I rubbed her pregnant stomach. "So, how are you and the baby?" I asked.

"Good." She said and smiled.

I looked over at Marron and Michaela, "Hey, Mare, hey Michaela." I said giving Marron a hug. I could tell she was slightly nervous and I did not want to bring that up in case she doesn't want anyone to know.

"I don't see you around anymore, how are you doing Goten?" She asked as we released from our hug.

"The same, I guess I'm just stressed about the job making sure that I can handle it. Maybe Bulma was right." I said rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. "I have been ecstatic about the baby, I can't wait until Lane comes."

Marron smiled at us, "Yeah, they are little miracles once you have one, you are going to want to have more." She said slightly uneasy. Something is up with Marron and I'm going to figure it out. "Well, Trunks should be home by now, I guess I should get out of your heir." She mumbled as he picked up her purse and Michaela.

I grasped her shoulder and she seemed to jump slightly, "Marron, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing, I promise you." She said avoiding eye contact. I knew she was lying and I didn't want to put too much pressure on her since Paris is watching. "I really need to get home." She said as she jolted my hand off her shoulder.

I followed after her and locked the door to our pent house. She is hiding something I could tell that she is and I hope one day she will be able to tell me. I walked back into the family room and sat down next to Paris.

She played around with my hair and smiled at me, "Hey, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, will you be able to take off work? I want you to come to this one." She pleaded me. Normally, I didn't go to them except the first one and the day we found out the sex of our baby, but it sounds as if she wants to me go.

"Yeah, I'll call Trunks later on and see if I can get out of it." I said. She smiled once more and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, you are the best." She got up the couch and waddled our way over to our bedroom. Sometimes horrible agony in her back and our mattress helps her out with it.

This had me thinking. Trunks is probably home from work already since Marron said so, I could go talk to him personally and tell him I'm going to take off work tomorrow. I walked over to my bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Hey, Paris." I mumbled as I opened the door.

"Yes, 'Ten?" She responded.

"I'm going to talk to Trunks to see if I can get work off for tomorrow, I should be back in about five or so minutes."

She nodded her head at me, "All right, then tomorrow we both can get more furniture for the nursery."

I couldn't help but chuckle at her. I closed the door and grabbed my keys. I opened the door and locked it and went walked up two flights of stairs. I knocked on the door to Trunks and Marron's pent house. I could hear footsteps coming to open the door and I was astounded to who open the door.

"Marron?" I questioned. "I thought you said Trunks was home." She sighed heavily at me. "Marron, what are you hiding?" She motioned me to walk inside. I didn't see Trunks' briefcase, so he is probably still at work. It's six o'clock I'm surprised he is not home.

"I didn't want you to know." She mumbled. I shook my head in disbelief. How could she not want me to know? I have been her best friend for as long as I could remember. "I found out a couple of days ago."

"What did you find out?" I asked. I thought I knew what she was talking about, but at the same time I felt as if I didn't know what she was going to tell me.

She sighed once more and she avoided eye contact from me, "I'm pregnant, okay. I asked Trunks on how he felt about having another kid and he said right now is not the best time to have a kid. And I'm too afraid to tell him." She whimpered to me. I could tell she was close to crying and he had hurt her when he had said that.

I gave her a hug so she will be able to calm down her nerves, "I'm sorry, Marron, but you need to tell him." I told her, "I mean it isn't going to be too long before he figures out. You need to tell him on a good day. Like a Saturday or a Sunday." I suggested.

"I can't, I don't want him to be upset or hate me." She confessed.

"First of all, Marron, you didn't do anything wrong, you guys were expressing yourself physically and let's just say Trunks went a little too far." I started to say, "But you have to tell him even if he doesn't think the timing is the best."

She sighed heavily, "You are right, Goten. I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you in front of Paris. I just got nervous." She stated, "All right, not to be rude, why are you here?"

"I came to see your husband. Paris wants me to go to her doctor's appointment tomorrow and I was going to ask him if I could take off work." Marron nodded her head and wrote down what I had said.

"I'll let him know." She said, "And I'll try and find the right time to tell Trunks. Thanks Goten."

I smiled at her, "No problem, Marron, I need to get back home, so I'll talk to you soon." I mumbled. I left their penthouse and walked down two flights of stairs back to my penthouse. I unlocked the door and sighed heavily.

"Two pregnant wives this is going to be interesting." I said as I walked into the bedroom I shared with my wife. I mean yeah it is not even six-thirty, but Paris and I would watch television together.

The Next Day

"So, Paris, you are six months and three weeks along. How are you feeling?" Doctor Jasper asked.

"I'm feeling amazing, I always wanted to be a mother." Paris said. I couldn't help but smile at her. She is mother at heart, I knew that since I met her. She cares for people so much. She is going to be a great mom. On the other hand, it will take me some time to be a great dad.

"As seen on the ultrasound your baby boy is doing just find keep doing what you are doing." Doctor Jasper said.

I loved looking at the ultrasound. I can hear his heartbeat and it just amazes me how he used to be inside me. "It is weird to think that in three months we will be holding Lane."

"Lane, that is a unique name, I like it. Time flies." The doctor said she continued to show scan Paris' stomach. "Wait, what is that?"

Oh shit, she found it. "Oh, it is a tail, just ignore that." I mumbled slightly nervous. She nodded her head and tried to avoid asking any other questions.

"You guys are doing well; I want to see you back next month." She said as she took her gloves off and handed Paris a paper towel to wipe any access gel of her pregnant belly. Paris got up from the chair and sighed.

"That was a close one." I said once we left the doctor's office.

This is how my life is supposed to be. Helping my friends with their issues and being there for my wife. I couldn't be happier.

A/N: I told you guys that it would be here sooner rather than later! So, since I turned seventeen on Sunday this is my birthday present from me to you! I hope you guys enjoy this story, the first two chapters are slow, but then the third chapter it is going to get good! Once more I will use a song title and lyrics.
