Twelve
It was November, and the wind chilled the Son's as they walked towards the Briefs. It would be a big day for some... And most of them didn't even know.
"Are you two alright?" Gohan asked his two younger siblings, who were being unusually quite.
Gotens and Pan's problem both associated with the same person... Bra. Goten was nervous because he would be seeing the girl for the first time in weeks. He had so much to say to her... So much he had and would say, he just hoped she would at least listen. Pan was quite as she was thinking of things to say that might calm the chaos when it arrived. She just hoped her brother wouldn't die... In reality only her and Bra stood in the way of that.
"Of course we're okay," Pan told Gohan with a smile. "It's just too cold to speak."
"Well, it's a good thing that we're here then," Goku said witha smile.
"Hey!" Bulma greeted everyone with a smile.
The group split up almost instantly. Goku and Vegeta went off to go watch tv, they were forbbiden long ago that they could not spar on holidays. Videl and ChiChi went to go help Bulma as Gohan went off to the Briefs giant library.
"You look cold," Trunks told Pan as he kissed her nose.
Pan giggled, "Freezing!" She looked back and forth between Trunks and Goten and the boys looked at her with a confused look. "I love you guys."
"We love you too," they said still confused.
"Just remember that," Pan said before she walked away.
"What was that about?" Asked Goten.
"I have no idea," Trunks said before they walked off.
Bra stood in front of her mirror holding up the ends of the old white wool-sweater that she was wearing of her mothers. She examined her stomach as she let her blue hair fall down neatly. She stuck a finger between her skin and pants and frowned at how tight they were getting. There was nothing she could do about that though. "Well Baby, their all about to know about you," she whispered.
There was a knock on the door startling Bra as she frantically pulled her shirt down. Pan poked her head in and Bra did a sigh of relief. "How are you feeling?" Pan asked as she took off her coat and scarf to reveal a orange long-sleeved shirt with her dark pants.
"Ask me when this is all over with," Bra said with a sigh as she sat down at her computer desk. "They're all about to know."
"Yep," was all Pan replied back.
"I'm scared, yet I'm so ready for everyone to know the truth."
Pan looked down before glancing up, "I'm sure every thing will be okay in the end."
"I really hope so."
Pan stretched, "I have to go down stairs right quick, but I'll send someone up to come and get you before it's ready so you can tell Goten first."
"Okay," Bra said softly.
"Goten," Pan said an hour later. "Go get Bra and tell her supper is almost ready."
"Me?" Squeaked Goten.
"Yes you," Pan told him.
"Pan, I-"
"I'm busying helping Momma and Bulma-San," Pan said cutting him off as she walked back into the kitchen.
Goten let out a sigh with a slight whine as he started making his way up the stairs. His heart hammered faster with each step he took. He was finally going to see Bra again. He had missed her so much during the time that he had been ignoring her, he only hoped that she missed him too. He prayed that she would forgive him for being such an idiot. Forgive him for being so scared. And forgive him for waiting so long. Goten knocked on her door lightly, his heart beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
Bra opened her door and every thing froze. Their eyes locked onto each others and she couldn't move. He hadn't changed one bit. "Goten-" she whispered.
"Bra," Goten said letting his restraints down and gathering her in his arms. Bra's eyes widdend in surprise as she stood there in his arms. Goten quickly let go of her before placing a hand on each of her shoulders. "I am sorry, I know you must hate me."
"I don't hate you," Bra told him honestly. Although there had been more than a few times when she wished she did.
"I've been a coward about not talking to you. I've been so afraid that you hated me and that's why I haven't came around. That morning..." he said trailing off and Bra looked down as she remembered the sting of his words. Goten let out a sigh, "I didn't mean those words I said... I was so scared Bra. Terrified that I ruined our friendship. I wanted to be with you... I still do. But, I want to do it the right way."
"Goten, I-" Bra said not knowing what to say.
"I understand if you don't want to..." Goten said looking down and feeling like his heart just got ripped out.
"It's not that," Bra said with a shaky voice.
"What is it?" Goten asked looking up, "Bra, I want to take you out on a date. I want things to be right with us again."
Tears gathered in Bra's eyes, "Goten, I'm pregnant," she whispered.
Goten froze as all the color drained from his face. He stumbled slightly and Bra quickly sat him down in her chair. He looked at the ground with wide eyes as his heart jumped around frantically. "Are you sure?" He asked in a hushed whisper.
Bra nodded slightly, "Yes. I went to the doctor."
"Does anyone else know?"
"Pan does, I was planning on telling everyone after I told you."
"Doesn't give me much time to prepare for my death," Goten said with a hard swallow.
"Goten, we don't have to tell them that you're the father yet."
"No," Goten said shaking his head. "Bra, it's just as much my fault as it is yours. I'm going to be right there with you."
"I'm scared," she whispered.
"Me too," he said honestly.
"Would you like to see a picture of the baby?"
Goten looked up, "You have one?"
Bra nodded, "I got one when I went to the doctors." She opened a drawer on her desk that was beside where Goten was sitting. She pulled out a large pink jewelry box that looked like it was made out of porcelain. Carefully she opened it before taking a picture out and handing it to Goten.
He looked at it, his heart still humming quickly. The baby in the picture... It was his. He was going to be a dad. He didn't know what to think. Him and Bra weren't even dating... Or maybe they were, he did kinda ask her out. And now, they'll have a baby on the way? The thought scared him, he didn't know how to be a dad. But, there was no turning back, it was time he learned.
"Are you okay?" Bra asked him, "Goten-"
"I'm okay," he told her quietly. "Just letting it all sink in. It's really happening, huh?"
"Yeah," Bra said with a sigh.
"I meant what I said Bra, I want to be with you. And I want to be apart of my child's life."
"Don't do it for the baby, Goten," Bra said with a frown. Why else would he want to be with her?
"I'm not just doing it for the baby, I'm doing it for me too!" Goten said as he stood up. "Ever since that morning I have not been able to stop thinking about you! You don't know how many times I have picked up my phone to call you only to be a coward and put it back down. I was planning on asking you out even before I found out you were pregnant, my feelings for you still haven't changed. I want to be with you every step of the way, will you let me be?"
Bra nodded her head slightly before hugging Goten tightly. This time it was his turn to be surprised, "I've missed you too."
Goten kissed her temple lightly, "I'm sorry it took me so long. I know things aren't exactly going in the right order, but we'll make the best of it."
There was a soft knock on Bra's door before Pan popped her head in. She smiled at seeing Bra and Goten, "I'm guessing everything is okay between you two?" When they both nodded she continued, "Good. Supper is almost done. Are you two ready?"
"As ready as we'll ever be," Goten said as he grabbed Bra's hand.
Minutes later everyone was sitting around the Briefs round table that they were using for the occasion. It was quite and peaceful as everyone ate happily. Pan talked normally so no one would think something was up and she even kicked Goten a few times to get him to act normal when he would start to zone out. Even so, everyone could tell something was up. Goten wasn't eating as much as he normally did.
Once everyone was getting close to being finished Bra and Pan shared a look. Bra nodded and Pan tensed up as she got ready. Bra cleared her throat getting everyone's attention. She didn't know how to say it, but she knew she had to. "I'm pregnant."
The atmosphere was deathly silent. ChiChi and Bulma both dropped their forks in shock. Goku, Gohan, and Videl all looked shocked. Trunks was growing confused as he believed that it was a joke. Why would his sister joke about something like this? Vegeta sat in his seat not saying a word as he looked at Bra.
"Bra..." Bulma began. "What? Who?" She started confused, "Are you joking?"
"No," Bra said blushing as she looked at the table. "I'm pregnant, I've even went to the doctor. I'm currently 10 weeks along."
"What the hell!" Trunks began.
Vegeta shot up in his seat so fast that the chair rammed back and the wall. "Who's the father?" He growled as raw energy began to form in the palm of his hands.
"Daddy, it's just as much my fault as-"
"I am," Goten said speaking up. "Bra and I got drunk one night and we slept together," he said before swallowing hard. It was the truth, even if it wasn't too pretty.
Everyone looked at him in shock. "You bastard-!" Trunks yelled as he made a grab for Goten before Pan tackled him to the floor. "Pan!" He yelled annoyed at not wanting to hurt her. With a huff and grunt Pan pulled Trunks up before forcing him into the other room and slamming the door shut.
Vegeta didn't say anything as he shot a blast at Goten, hitting the boy through the right shoulder and sending him back in the wall. Goten hissed in pain as he grabbed his shoulder. Blood pooled from the wound as he gritted his teeth together. He wasn't going to fight back, it would be better to just let Vegeta kill him. Hopefully, his family would bring him back. He closed his eyes waiting for the final impact.
"Daddy! NO!" Bra yelled as Vegeta raised his arm to shoot Goten again. She ran in front of Goten as he grunted in pain.
"Move Bra!" Demanded Vegeta trough clinched teeth as he still had his arm raised.
Bra took a deep breath as she looked at her father. "You are not killing the father of my child! I am pregnant and Goten is the father! There is nothing you can do about it! Nothing!"
"I can kill him!" Vegeta yelled as he shook the house.
"Now, Vegeta," Goku said as he stood up. He walked over to the other man trying to calm him.
"Get the hell away from me Kakarrot, before I blast you too!" Hissed Vegeta, "Move Bra!"
"NO!" She screamed, "If you kill Goten, I will never talk to you again! NEVER!" She finished as hot tears gathered in her eyes.
Vegeta growled as he shook in anger. He wanted Goten dead, but he loved his daughter too much to do that. With his jaw set he walked out of the room without looking at Bra or Goten once. As he shut the back door they felt the house shake. It was quiet... Other than Trunks and Pan's yells from the other room.
"YOU ARE NOT KILLING MY BROTHER!" Pan yelled.
"HE GOT MY SISTER PREGNANT! AND YOU! YOU KNEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" Trunks yelled back.
"BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT AN INSUFFERABLE ASS YOU WOULD BE! AND LOOK! YOU'RE BEING THE BIGGEST ASS EVER!"
"HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPECT ME TO ACT?"
"Oh, I don't know," Pan said sarcastically, "MAYBE A BIT UNDERSTANDING?!"
Trunks scoffed, "Why the hell should I be?!"
"Because what you need to get through your thick skull is that this just as easily could have happened to us! I could have been the one pregnant!"
Trunks growled slightly as he spoke through clinched teeth, "At least we're dating." With that he stormed out of the front door and flew off.
"I... We have some Senzu beans," Bulma said. "I'll go get one!" She said before running off.
Pan walked into the room quietly before shutting the door and leaning on it. Tears glistened in her eyes but she didn't shed any. "Pan," Bra started as she still stood in front of Goten.
"Don't," Pan said softly. She gave a small smile, but it didn't meet her eyes. "Trunks and I fight all the time."
"Here," Bulma said coming back as she handed Goten a Senzu bean and a glass of water.
He ate the bean quickly before gulping down the water. Just like that the bean did his magic and he felt as good as new. Everyone looked at Bra and Goten, not knowing what to say.
ChiChi crossed her arms, "We need to talk," she told the two sternly.
"I think everything will be okay now," Pan said softly. "I'm going to go ahead and head home," she said before giving Bra a hug. "Call me if you need anything," and with that she was gone forgetting all about her stuff upstairs in Bra's room.
"Yeah... Congratulations?" Gohan said unsure, "Videl and I are going to be heading home as well, see you guys around."
With that there was only Bra, Goten, ChiChi, Bulma, and a confused Goku. They sat around the table again, "I didn't know you two had a thing," said Goku.
"We didn't," Bra said with a blush.
"And do you now?" Asked ChiChi.
"Yes," said Goten.
Bulma sighed, "Bra, you're finishing school."
"I was planning to," Bra told her.
"I don't know what to say, I really don't. I'm happy, really I am, I just wished it happened at a different time and in a different way," said ChiChi.
"We're with you two a 100%," said Bulma. "The road you two are about to take is going to be hard one. You can read all the books you want to about parenthood but it still doesn't prepare you."
"What about Daddy?" Bra asked softly.
"I don't know honey," Bulma told her daughter sadly. "I'm sure he'll come around soon."
"How are you feeling?" Goten asked Bra later that night when they were in her room.
She shrugged, "Better now that everyone's knows, but still crappy. I'm sorry my dad shot you."
Goten shrugged, "I guess I understand why he did. I would have shot myself too."
"Still... My father and Trunks... Who knows if they'll ever talk to me again."
"Of course they will," Goten told her. "They love you, Bra." He stood up and stretched, "It's getting late, I better go. I'll um... Call you tomorrow. Will that be okay?"
Bra smiled, "That would be just fine."
"Okay," Goten said with a light smile. He hesitated slightly before kissing her softly. "Talk to you tomorrow," he said before flying out of her window.
Bra smiled as she watched him go. She made her way over to her chair before picking up the picture she had placed on her mirror after showing her mother and ChiChi. Everything turned out better than she had hoped for. For one, Goten wasn't dead. Two, her and Goten were now actually dating. Three, everyone knew. Some down falls were one, her father tried to kill Goten. Two, Trunks and Pan got into a huge fight and because of her. Three, there was no telling when her father would talk to her again. She only hoped that he and her brother would come around soon...
-If you guys want, I'll add Trunks and Pan's next talk (Aka- Trunks apologizing for being an insufferable ass) into the next chapter! ;)
