A/n: I meant to the 12th reviewer. On my last a/n. Your review really was everything when I read it all those months ago.
Her heart stop she couldn't move it was dark she couldn't feel her lungs now.
"Help me help me Help me" she forced through her lips waking up suddenly. Gripping an flower print sofa and looked around it was like an office she were in. Catching her breath she stood up and saw her purse and shoes at the foot of the sofa.
Her feet slid in and grabbed her purse standing up shakily.
Walking out the door she could hear the conversations hidden by an cherry blossom room divider she ease drop.
"How's the baby doing ?" Pans voice asked
"Great growing everyday " Valise replied "my feet are swollen and I can't work doc wants me at home and no stress "
I could hear the happiness in her voice
"That's right no stress " Goten added
"Are you okay from earlier ?" Marron asked
Valise sighed. "She's the least of my concern right now I just need to focus on getting my kid here safely "
"Yeah but I didn't think Bra would come" The blonde added.
"She's my sister why wouldn't she come " feet could be heard walking away
"Trunks " Pan called
"Pan I don't want to upset Valise just let me have some room right now "
Pan sighed. "It isn't fair what I want to say is I'm hurt deeply by what happen and your sister is an asshole but I can't because all he does is moped about her I'm glad she's back at least he won't wonder as much "
"Come on Pan change the subject Val doesn't need to think about that no stress for our baby" His voice said
Bra hands shook uncontrollably as she back away from the divider and knocked over a plant taking a deep breath whimpering she ran again
"What was is that ?"
She looked back and gave Goten an pathetic look and rushed out the door into the sun light. Her arms swung stupidly as her feet took her to the sidewalk she took deep breaths holding onto her knees. Vomit rushed up her throats spilling just missing her shoes.
Goten what about our baby ?. Standing up with her eyes closed and face to the sky she caught her breath. Feeling the vicious sun rays.
"Are you okay ?"
Opening her eyes she turn and saw Gohan.
She couldn't get embarrassed this time she didn't have it in her. She didn't care her heart was broken. Her lips quivered as fresh water spilled from her eyes. Covering her eyes with both hands crying into them as one hand fell to her belly. It Clench as did her heart at the same time throbbing what it was missing. Her other hand fell to her mouth as her eyes shook. It's not fair. Valise gets to keep Gotens baby but I don't how cruel.
Suddenly her body was covered making her warmer. She had an jacket over her shoulder a car pulled to the side of them as some one in a red and white vest and shirt came out giving him the keys he gently ushered her to the front seat and he went around to his side of the car and driving away.
I put my feet in his car seat and hug my knees crunched against the door.
Gohan
He didn't know what to do seeing her like that. He felt sorry for her. When he found out Trunks and Pan were getting married he had no control and swallowed his anger about it did he even have a right to be upset. He was just happy he would get to see Videl again. She had been picking fights with him since this morning. He tried to talk to her about their marriage and she cursed him out. Every time the planner said Gohan and Videl will be here or there she complained making it uncomfortable for everyone. He doesn't get it what would it take for her to understand him. She doesn't want him at the house. She doesn't want to talk. Moms on her side, but she's forgiven Goten since his having a child now. I have to make a fool of myself around all these people who know what happen. He looked over at the girl in his car. It was unreal it seem like an rumor I could erase and try to move on from and until I saw Videl and her in the same room. This my fault if only I had some self control. I could've stopped while kissing her saw Goten kissing her pulled him away far away from that house before it go so far. Maybe talking will calm her.
"How's the law firm?"
Bra
Why would ask such a stupid question. Of all the things I thought Gohan would say to be mad curse me out call me a temptation and blame everything like everyone else did on me, but no he asks me about my job. My job. Rising my head finally stop crying and pretty sure with an red face.
"I don't know " it came out hoarse and dry I barley sounded like myseld a bit.
"Do you need an doctor ? You fainted earlier and you just threw up" he leaned forward and open the compartment in front of her and sat a piece gum on the arm rest.
Bra slowly reached for it and unwrapped it putting it in her mouth and chewing. She put her legs down as well. As a blushed came to her cheeks. She realized where she was who she was actually with. She closed her eyes as tears came again and she cringed.
"Gohan" she cried. He didn't say it but she would because it's all she's thought since.
He looked at her.
"I'm sorry this was all my fault if I hadn't asked Someone to stay and help me it would've never happen I was trying to let Pan and Trunks have some time together she crushed on him for so long it was stupid"
He stopped the car by an meter and unbuckle his seat belt turning to the upset girl.
"Bra calm down"
"I can't my life is ruin and it just keeps getting worse everyone hates me "
"That's not true what about Trunks your mom your dad"
She rolled her eyes. "I embarrassed them "
He pointed to himself "I don't hate you "
"What's wrong with you ? Fainting ?. Getting sick ?"
She sniffed and looked down at the carpet. "Goten"
Gohan sighed. "I told him to leave you alone he didn't I see"
"He lied to me"
"he tends to do that a lot "
"I'm going to go" she reached for the handle.
"What no "
She turn to him confused.
"I'll feel better if I drove you "
" I don't think I should be in your car "
"I couldn't live with letting you walk or fly home in your condition... listen"..."just let me drive you home we don't have to talk "
The awkwardness and tension was flowing in her body she wanted to get away from him, but something made her drop her hand from the handle. He started the car back up and drove off smoothly.
Gohan
Was she the problem?. I slept with this girl... this woman and ignored her. Her thoughts and feelings throughout all of this. I thought about myself and my family for months No once did I consider her. I just wanted to know if it was consent and after Goten told me it was, I was over it over her. She was Pan friend yes, but I had grown to call her that before all of us mine and Videl friend.
Flashback.
She came over drove to our home. We greeted her invited her in.
Her hair was in a messy blue bun, wearing tights and a T shirt. Walking in with her keys and dangling loudly.
"Hey Bra you want a drink "
"No thank you. Pans here?"
"No she had to work late at the gym "
She nodded and rested against the bar."well I came to formally invite you guys to my party this weekend"
Videl smiled looking at me. I shrugged.
"Saturday ?" I asked her
"Yeah it's going to be crazy"
"Want to go ?" Videl asked
"Yeah" I agreed not knowing it would change all of our lives.
Videl stretch. "Oh Bra you keep me young but Pan might not be happy her old parents are there"
Bra smiled "So let's have fun "
End flashback
We were that close. Pan even was happy when we were out with them having a good time we were the uncertified
He looked over at the broken woman. This was not Bra I had once knew. She was strong willed like Bulma full of spirit making sure everyone was alright.
Bra
It was silent the rest of the ride. He drove me to the fence. My arm reached for the door again.
"Wait " he said
"I know I said we wouldn't talk but I'm an living contradiction I also said I wouldn't cheat on my wife once"..." I regret who I hurt my wife Pan you, but I don't regret what we did Bra what I felt in the moment "
She blushed avoiding eye contact fiddling her fingers together.
"And I know that sounds douchebaggy , but I can't deny it I can't lie to myself anymore the experience wasn't horrible it was the aftermath Bra it wasn't your fault I was older I knew better, but I knew nothing. It this beautiful woman and her intoxicating aroma. I was consumed by desire I can't even pin it all on my idiot brother this one is on me and I know I will never be put in your position because your the woman and I'm the man, but it really was something special "
Bra was staring at him like she seen a ghost. She didn't expect that to be said. Not in the lease and not by him. She was still blushing terribly. Guilt wash over him he gripped the stirring wheel. Hearing a man gush over you that way no matter how small it was new to her the only person to do so was Goten and he hadn't touch her since She told him about what happen to her , but clearly he found Valise attractive that way I must remind him of a grave yard. Hearing Gohan say that made something ignite in her to stop being so closed and be real with herself and feelings and tell him what she was thinking what was on her mind about what he said.
"I shouldn't have said that I'm a creep aren't I and old creep an terrible person"
She grabbed his wrist while he still held the wheel. He turn from the road to her anxious.
Her face was honest and innocent she shook her head no.
Gohan stared in her eyes as she smile bitterly. "Thank you Gohan" she said and got out the car.
Gohan watched her walked away with confusion and worry until she got in her mothers home. Starting up the car looked down then around. What was that conversation he let it all out what's been eating him since this all started no ones asked him how he felt and he doubt he could tell them if they did but he been so busy trying to repair his character. He forgot. He pulled out his phone.
"Goten... meet me at your home I need to talk to you"
