Hey everyone. Sorry it has taken me so long to do an update on this story. I have been mega busy, but here we go, the last chapter of the story, hope everyone enjoys it! Please don't forget to review!!!
Doctors and nurses flooded the room pushing a worried Vegeta and Gohan out the door. All either of them could hear was the high pitched squealing of the monitors and the frantic yelling of the doctors as they gave out orders to the nurses.
"Dad, what happened?"
Vegeta turned to see Trunks and the others standing nearby, worried expressions on all their faces.
"The monitors went off....something's wrong but they won't tell us what," Gohan answered.
And for the first time in a long time Gohan was finally feeling regret and true fear. In that one instant when the monitors had started going off, he realized that he could be losing his daughter, and he finally had seen himself for what he had become. A monster. How could he have let himself treat her the way he had for all these years? Now he could lose her and he would never be able to show her how sorry he really was for the things he had done to her.
Vegeta paced back and forth, the pain and worry obvious in his eyes. What the hell was going on in there? What could be taking them so long? Was Pan alright? Was the baby? Tension sang through his veins and every now and then his eyes would shift toward the closed door and he would have to fight down the urge to rip it open just to find out what was happening to his mate and unborn child.
Everything hurt....Pan's whole body felt like it was being torn apart and she was cold. So cold. All around her were voices, but not the ones she wanted to hear the most. Where was Vegeta? And...Gohan? They had just been with her a moment ago. Now all she could think of was the pain and how desperately she wanted it to stop. She could feel hands on her, moving her, the hiss and beep of machines around her, all things that were fighting to keep her alive. To save her baby. The baby! She tried to wrap her mind and all her strength around that one single thought. She needed to hold on, for her baby. That's when she heard it, the high pitched crying from somewhere nearby. It was her baby, it was crying, It was alive. Everything was fine...it would be okay.
One moment Pan was filled with joy at the knowledge that her baby, Vegeta's baby was okay. And the next, she was falling. Falling through a tunnel of pure darkness with no end in sight. It was as if ever memory, every experience she had ever had was suddenly flying past her in a wave of endless color and a chorus of voices all calling her name.
"Vegeta," she whispered softly, "I'm sorry."
Then suddenly everything went black....
It had been more than four hours since the doctors and nurses had come running into Pan's room and shoved Vegeta and Gohan out and still there was no word on her condition or the baby's. Suddenly, the door to the room opened and the nurses and doctors all walked out. One of the doctors' walked over to the waiting group to give them the news.
"What's going on? Is Pan alright? Is the baby?"
Vegeta was almost yelling the words at the doctor fighting so hard to keep back his worry and agitation.
"You must be the father. The baby is fine, you have a beautiful, healthy baby girl. "
"And Pan?"
The doctor was silent for a moment and all of Vegeta's worst nightmares went running through his mind, his heart in his throat, refusing to believe that any of them could possibly be true until he heard it from the doctor.
"Pan is fine....However, she is going to need a lot of rest. She lost a lot of blood and we had a hard time keeping her heart beating during the delivery. It was very touch and go, but she managed to pull through. You may see her now but not for long, she needs to rest."
Vegeta could have hugged the doctor, so great was his joy at that moment. Pan was alive. He hadn't lost her, and she had given him a daughter. He practically ran into his room, but stopped in his tracks when he saw her. Pan was so pale in the hospital bed, holding a small bundle in her arms as she turned her head and smiled weakly at Vegeta.
"Vegeta...."
"Shhh...you need your rest woman, don't speak."
Vegeta looked down at the tiny child Pan held tightly in her arms and smiled. His daughter, a saiyin princess. And she was beautiful. She looked so much like Pan, but he could already tell just from looking at her that she had his fighting spirit.
Three weeks later......
Pan was finally allowed to come home from the hospital after three long weeks of testing at the hospital. She was recovering and still not 100% back to herself but her body was healing and soon she would be training again. Vegeta had married her right there in the hospital, with all their friends and family present.
Bulma and Yamcha had decided to give it another try and now were married, but with Pan at his side, Vegeta no longer found himself holding a grudge against either of the two. Everyone was just so happy to have Pan and the baby home. And Gohan was now trying to be the kind of father he should always have been to Pan but never had and was thoroughly enjoying spoiling his new granddaughter, who already was showing great potential.
Pan looked up at Vegeta as he knelt beside her and their sleeping child.
"She's so perfect...."
Vegeta smiled looking at this tiny version of himself and Pan and couldn't help but agree.
"Yes she is."
"I love you Vegeta."
His heart hammered in his chest at those words that at one time he had feared to never hear again,
"I love you Pan...forever."
Okay so I know this was kind of a sappy ending but what did you think????
