I do not own DBZ or any of its characters. You know what to do, if you want something new then leave a review! (Haha rhyme!)
It had been six months since Yamcha has seen Krillin. He tried to go visit Marron everyday during her pregnancy but 18 always kicked him out. She was a faithful guard dog who never left her daughter alone for one second. Yamcha wallowed in loneliness and sadness, wondering if he would ever know if that baby was his, or if Krillin was ever going to forgive him. How could Yamcha let his lust take him over like that? He lost the best friend he'd ever had! After Goku's death he and Krillin were inseparable, and when Goku returned, he feared that Krillin would go back to Goku and never speak to him again. That wasn't the case. When Goku returned Krillin invited Yamcha everywhere and never left him out. How could he betray him like this! He would sooner forgive him for sleeping with 18 then for sleeping with his daughter. She was the light of Krillin's eyes, and now Yamcha would wallow in repentance until the day he dies, or until Krillin forgave him. Yamcha figured he was probably going to die first.
So Yamcha hid his Ki and lurked in the tree of the island. He watched the Kame House day in and day out, waiting for Maron to come outside so he could see her, but she would never come out. Occasionally he would see Krillin going to work, but most of the time Master Roshi and Oolong were gathered outside, or 18 was keeping watch. Even Roshi and Oolong were obligated to report any sightings of Yamcha. Yamcha waited and waited eventually Marron would have to get out.
Trunks never visited Marron. He came once and told the whole family that if the DNA test proved he was the father he would take full responsibility, but that his father wasn't going to allow him to take responsibility before then. It figures that Vegeta would interfere like that. Goten, on the other hand, visited every single day. He tended to Marron's every need and even Goku and Chichi were involved. Chichi would bring her some delicious meal, and Goku would bring her presents and sweets. They treated her the same way they treated Videl when she was pregnant with Pan.
Goten was protective of her, he didn't even let her get up to get some water. Marron, of course, took advantage of that. She had been on house arrest ever since she was discovered, and she was simply looking for a way out. Her plan was to lead on any guy that cared for her, marry him, then divorce him at 18 and live her own life. Unsuspecting Goten had no idea he was just a pawn in her game. One day he sat her down and told her that he had something very important to talk to her about. 18 had seen enough throughout the months to trust Goten and Marron to stay alone together.
"So what did you need to talk to me about?" Marron said.
"First thing is first," Goten started, "why did you sleep with Yamcha?"
Marron rolled her eyes in annoyance and snapped, "you too?"
"No, wait Marron, I'm not judging you," Goten said, "I've been with a man before, I know what curiosity feels like. Please just tell me if you were just curious or if you actually felt something for Yamcha."
"Why do you care?" Marron said more tenderly than she expected.
"Well Marron, because I care about you very much," Goten said.
"What does Paresu say about all of this?" Marron said.
"We broke up," Goten said.
"Why?"
"Why? Well why do you think?" he said, "I'm always taking care of you."
"What? That's bull," Marron said, "she knew I was pregnant and she was okay with you watching over me. I know she didn't change her mind. Now tell me the real reason."
"I can't lie to you can I?"
"Nope, but nice try."
Goten sighed in defeat and said, "well I broke up with her."
"Why?"
"Because I love you Marron," Goten said, "when we were together, when I found out you were pregnant, throughout these months. I knew it all along. I went out with Paresu to try to forget you, I was scared you were in love with Yamcha."
"So that's why you're asking?"
"Yeah," Goten said sheepishly, "I just can't live on without knowing. If you don't want be my girlfriend that's fine, but I need to know at least that it isn't because of Yamcha."
"So if it were Trunks or some other guy you would be okay with it?" Marron inquired.
"Well no, but Trunks is capable of taking care of you and making you happy, Yamcha can't even take care of himself," Goten said.
"That's true," Marron said, "his house is a mess, and he actually thinks we don't know he's been hiding in that tree watching us for six months."
"I don't know why your mom hasn't killed him."
"She would but she doesn't because of dad," Marron said, "Yamcha was his best friend in the world! I mean how would you feel if this little baby I'm having is yours and she's a girl, and then fifteen years later she's pregnant and Trunks is a possible father?"
"I would want to kill Trunks," Goten said clenching his jaw.
"But he's your absolute best friend, could you kill him?"
Goten pondered on it for a moment then sighed and said, "no. I wouldn't have the heart to do it."
"That's how my dad feels," Marron said, "my mom knows that if she kills Yamcha, Krillin won't be mad at her but he would be devastated. He would probably be in remorse for the rest of his life."
"I know I would be," Goten said.
Goten gave her a beseeching look and Marron knew what he wanted. "No Goten," she said with a sigh, "I don't love Yamcha. Never have never will, I was just curious."
"Really?" Goten said perking up.
"Yeah," she confirmed.
"So, will you…"
"Yes," Marron said, "I'll be your girlfriend."
Goten jumped up happily and then sat back down with a serious expression on his face. "Marron, what if the baby's not mine?"
"Will that affect your feelings for me?" Marron asked tentatively.
"No, even the child is not mine, I want to be the father of that baby," Goten said, "I was just seeing if you were going to be with the father no matter what."
"No, no matter who's the father of this baby, I wanna be with you," Marron said with a smile. Goten blushed furiously and smiled. Marron smirked inwardly knowing that she trapped him in her claws.
…...
"Final Blast!" Vegeta yelled releasing a large Ki blast from his extending hand.
Trunks dodged it barely and threw a Ki blast back at him. "Be careful," Bulma called from below setting down the tray of lemonade.
"Do they always fight like that?" Krillin said startling Bulma.
"Yeah, it's their daily spar," Bulma said, "what are you doing here?"
"I just needed a friend to talk to."
"Where's Goku?"
"Training."
"Figures," Bulma said sarcastically, "what do you wanna talk about?"
"Am I a bad father?"
"What?"
"You heard me," Krillin said, "am I a bad father? I mean look a Marron she's a mess! Is it because 18's stronger than me? She thinks she doesn't have to listen to me because I'm not strong enough?"
"No Krillin!" Bulma said, "18 tells her the same things you did and she still disobeyed."
"So we're both bad parents," Krillin said bitterly, "she's a bad girl Bulma. She does nothing but plot her next scheme and thinks of nothing but mischief. It's our fault she's in this damn predicament."
"It's not your fault, nor is it 18's," Bulma comforted, "this society corrupted that girl. But she's not alone! My son had his fault too, as did Goten."
"So no matter how well we raise our children, the society will fuck up everything we do?" Krillin said.
"Some more than others," Bulma said, "have you spoken to Yamcha?"
"No! And I'm never speaking to him again!"
"Krillin, he's devastated!"
"He should have thought of that before he slept with my daughter," Krillin said.
"Krillin, hear him out."
"He's here?"
Bulma averted her eyes for a moment and said, "he's in the living room."
"Then I'm leaving," Krillin said standing up.
Bulma grabbed his arm and held him there, "just please give it a chance, please Krillin?"
Krillin sighed and said, "fine but that's not gonna change things."
Krillin went inside the house and Bulma took her seat again to watch the fight. Vegeta had just slammed Trunks to the floor. Trunks got up weakly and landed a punch on Vegeta's shoulder. Vegeta smirked and threw a ferocious kick that landed right on Trunks' groin. Trunks cried out in pain and fell to the floor in a heap. "Vegeta!" Bulma cried out running toward Trunks.
"I didn't mean to hit him there," Vegeta said crossing his arms over his chest, "he can't take that pain?"
"How about I hit you there and let's see if you can take it!" Bulma snapped.
Vegeta scoffed and hovered back down to the ground next to Trunks. "Are you okay Trunks?" Vegeta said feigning indifference.
Trunks groaned and lifted his hand which was covered with blood. "Oh my God!" Bulma cried, "help me take him to the lab."
Vegeta nodded and carried Trunks in his arms easily. The couple ran downstairs to the lab where Bulma began examining him.
Upstairs Krillin entered the room where Yamcha was lounging on the couch with tears in his eyes. "Krillin!" he cried sitting up. Krillin didn't answer he just sat down on the couch opposite of him. "Listen Krillin, I am sorry, I am so sorry."
"You slept with my daughter Yamcha," Krillin said monotonously.
"And for that I beg you forgiveness, I don't know what I was thinking," Yamcha said, "but I didn't force her to do anything, I swear to you."
"I know you didn't, but you're supposed to be a responsible adult!"
"I know, I'm sorry!" Yamcha cried, "please allow me to help Marron through her pregnancy, and to be with the baby if it's mine. Please Krillin, I'm not asking you to let me date Marron, I just want to be in the life of that child! Krillin I don't have any more chances of ever getting married and having a family. I need somebody to love and somebody to love me. I beg of you, even if you never ever forgive for what I did, please let me be in that baby's life!"
Krillin looked at Yamcha's tear-streaked face and tears of his own surfaced in his brown eyes. "Alright Yamcha," he said sadly, "I'll let you visit Marron one hour a day, and if that child is yours, I will make sure you're in his or her life."
"Oh thank you Krillin! Thank you!" Yamcha cried lunging at him for a hug.
Krillin instantly put a hand up and stopped him in his tracks, "this doesn't mean were friends."
…...
"Vegeta, I can't believe you hurt our son like that!" Bulma screeched, "what if I did that to Bulla?"
"I would kill you woman!" Vegeta snapped.
"That's what I wanna do to you right now!" Bulma said, "no gravity room! And most definitely no sex!"
"But woman…" he yelled.
"Shut up!" Bulma interrupted, "can you at let pretend to care about anyone other than yourself!"
Vegeta's harsh gaze softened, only a little, and he said, "how is he?"
"Not good," Bulma said softly, "he'll never be able to have children because of that hit."
"What!" Trunks' voice interrupted.
"You said he was in the other room!" Vegeta said.
"Trunks, honey what are you doing up, you need to rest!" Bulma said.
"No! I'm not gonna rest, I'm a saiyan," Trunks said tears filling his eyes, "what do you mean I'm never gonna be able to have kids! I always wanted kids one day!"
"Trunks, the hit to your…you know, was so hard that it rendered you sterile. I'm so sorry," Bulma said with tears in her eyes.
"It's not your fault mom," Trunks said letting the tears stream down his face freely. Bulma turned to give Vegeta a harsh glare and Vegeta's face contorted with remorse.
"I'm s-s-s-sorry," Vegeta said with much difficulty.
"It wasn't yours either dad, I should have kept my guard up," Trunks said.
"Isn't there a way to reverse it woman?" Vegeta said.
"I can work on it but the chances are slim to none," Bulma said sadly. Trunks sighed and started exiting the lab. "Trunks, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see Marron," he answered, "she's the last chance I have, of ever having a child."
