Parties, Rumors and In Between

Author's Note: I know a lot of people are mad at me for my last chapter. I have to keep the story interesting. Keep this in mind marriage isn't always cookies and cream and that this is how it can go. Especially if you marry young like my favorite couple. Thank for all the reviews.

Amsim- This is just for you. You have been so loyal to me and I even stopped using 'babe' just for you. I wish you wouldn't stop reading but I understand. Thanks for reading and I hope to see you writing your own story.

"That sounds great I'm so ecstatic about this party. I sure wish there could be alcohol but you know being a mother is first". Marron said as she walked around in her childhood room with her Bluetooth to her ear. Marron had a large bucket of ice-cream as she walked around the room. It had almost been a month since Trunks had signed the papers for a legal separation. It wasn't easy but the stress was relieving. She hadn't seen much of him besides letting him watch West while she was at the university. Her classes were tough but it kept her mind off of Trunks which is where she wanted it to be.

She was having a baby and she was so happy. Trunks not being with him right now seemed like a good choice. In her mind their relationship was toxic to her but in reality it was her. It was Marron being delusional she honestly thought that he was the only one who was trying. Marron choose to believe that he cheated on her she believed that he had done it multiple times. In Paris on other business trips and even in his office Marron just choose to accept this simple fact.

Besides what was truth and what were lies.

Marron's party was tomorrow and she was having a fabulous time planning it. Marron sat down and started to paint her nails with the glittery polish. She wished things could be different but how could she? How could she get passed everything? All of the clues pointed straight to him. Marron was tired of looking she was the other women. The media made it seem like she stole Trunks from Casey. That was never the case at all. It was just easier to just turn her back to him. She wasn't going to admit that she was hurt by his actions but she still held so much love for him in her heart.

He was her first for a lot of things.

Marron shook the thought from her mind. "Valese I'll call you back later I still have to pick up my dress and go pick up West for Trunk's house." Marron hung up her end of the line by pressing the button on the edge. It was awkward now seeing him, he pretended as if she didn't exist she understood he would be upset when she signed the paper but what she get was why he was still so mad. It wasn't like they were divorced she just need a break. He was done arguing with her and that was the last thing he said to her besides texting about her son. Marron laid down and rubbed her stomach with cocoa butter to insure she wouldn't have stretch marks when she got bigger. It was hard not having his arms around her at night but all she was getting used to being like this. She had spent years alone and it was get back to the basics for her.

Grabbing her hoodie she through it over her thin frame and slid on some flat boots. It was time to go pick up West and she wanted to invite Trunks to her party tonight. Marron wanted them to be on good terms. The rumors had already started about her and him. The magazines said that she kicked him to the curve for going to Casey's funeral. That wasn't totally true because she would got to Grayson and cry but there relationship was different. At least in her mind it was different.

Marron trotted down the stairs and saw her mother sitting with her legs crossed. As she read a cosmopolitan with a glass of red wine, "Marron where are you going"? Marron grabbed her purse and pulled her hair out of her hoodie. "I'm going to pick up West. He is spending the day at the office with Trunks today want to come. I'm sure Bulma would love to see you". Eighteen placed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I don't want to see that alcoholic adultrying boy. Send Bulma my best". Marron smiled at her mother and went and kissed her cheek. "Mother, he really isn't always like that. I wish you didn't have a bad view of him. He a good person but a cheater." Eighteen raised her eyebrow to her and looked at the large TV hanging on the wall. Trunks was on the news once a week anyways. Marron grabbed the remote and turned it up since it was a picture of her house.

"The market is up and realtors aren't the only ones realizing this. Trunks Briefs is selling his multimillion dollar house and everyone is looking for this steal. He is selling it way below market value. The house is valued at twelve million dollars but he is selling it for a measly eight million dollars. Does this have something to do with the recent separation of him and his wife Marron Juu? I say yes it does. Marron Juu hasn't been seen leaving or coming to the house in almost two months. Is it over you guys? I think so when a guy sells the house and changes his number than I think it's over ladies, time to pick up your bets"

Why was he selling the house? It ran through her mind Marron wasn't trying to actually get divorce she just wanted time away from him to realize he was wrong. It had almost been two months but Marron didn't want a divorce she needed to get to CapsuleCorp and talk to him.

Capsule Corp

"West I don't think she is going to let you come with me". Trunks said placing his jacket on the back of his chair as he grabbed an apple off his desk. West frowned and looked at him. "I don't want you to go Trunks. If you go then I won't have anyone to play with anymore. Uncle Goten doesn't come by anymore and mommy is in school. Who is going to take care of me"? Trunks felt his heart strings being pulled. Trunks sat down on the floor and looked down to his step-son.

He wrapped her arms around him and gave him a small hug.

"Don't worry; your mom is going to take care of you. She always has and you gotta take care of her while I'm gone. She needs you just as much as you need her West". West frowned and wrapped his arms around his neck and began to cry. Trunks was the only real father that he ever knew. His dad was around for only a short time but Trunks, he was always there for him. He taught him how to tie his shoes and even taught him how to protect himself if someone tried to hurt him. Trunks was like his dad but better and more caring. It wasn't fair to him.

West was so mad at his mom he understood enough that she was the reason that Trunks wasn't around anymore. West knew how sad it made his friend because. His mother was acting like this was a good thing. West had a family for such a small time and now it was all gone.

"Did you tell mommy yet"? Trunks shook his head no. West walked over to his book bag and pulled something out of it. It was a handmade card. "I made this in class I was going to give it to my mommy but I think you should keep it". It was a crayon colored trophy that said number one. The paper Mache plat read My Hero. Trunks smiled and took it and put it on his desk propping it up with a paperweight.

"West thanks I love it". Trunks wanted to say and do so much more because his human emotions were taking over. It was only a little sheet of paper but the sentiment was there. Trunks heard a knock on the door and tensed up. A blonde ponytail walked through the door. "Hey boys". Trunks sat at his desk and turned away from her as she entered in the double doors off his office. "Hey mom". Marron raised her eyebrow at him as he called her mom instead of the sweat word mommy. It wasn't a big deal or at least it shouldn't be but it was.

"Here I didn't know if you two ate but I brought you both some food." Marron handed West the big kids meal from the chain restaurant and approached Trunks and sat his on his desk. Trunks kept sitting and staring out the window attempting not to make eye contact with her because it hurt him to see her because he wanted her. Trunks was respecting her wishes by staying away from her. "I already ate but I'm sure my assistant is hungry." Trunks said pulling his phone out trying to act like he was doing something of importance.

Marron felt sad that he was doing this.

"Trunks do you think I can talk to you for a moment". He didn't turn but just stood up and walked out the door keeping it open so she could follow him. "West if anyone asks tell them I'm in a private meeting okay bud." West nodded and started to eat the chicken fingers his mother brought him. He led her to an empty board room and turned his back to her once more. "Trunks…are you okay? Goten said you've been really redrawn at the house and you've been favoring the wine cabinet a lot more than usual".

"Marron what is you want?" She was taking back with the coldest in his voice and his tone with her. It wasn't like she didn't understand why he was upset with her but he didn't get why he was taking it so far. She was mad, hurt and all of the above. Marron was still acting civil toward him at least he could do that. Marron walked closer to him and placed her hand on top of his hand. He pulled away and looked at her. 0

The pain was there. She couldn't tell if that is was because of her or because of Casey but it was very prominent it was there.

"Why are you selling our house"? He raised an eyebrow at her with a questioning look on his handsome pictures. "Our house Marron? The papers you signed pretty much stated what's yours is your and what's mine is mine. The house is mine and I don't live there and you choose not to live there anymore. I really don't see a problem with it." Trunks said looking at her as he sat at the top of the table in the chair. "Why are you acting like this? I'm trying to be nice and talk to you like a mature human being and you're sitting here pouty like a two year old". He looked at her.

"Pouting… I'm pouting really? Marron you left me…My wife…My pregnant wife left me because she is jealous of my ex-girlfriend who is DEAD. I'm sorry I give a shit about my family. But do what you want because I just want you to be happy despite everything you have done and put me through. But I will be around my child and I will be around West because I love them." Marron just looked at him and sat next to him and frowned.

"Trunks I just want you to tell me the truth." Trunks looked at her like she had a clown hat on her head. "Marron you're crazy and I'm not telling you another fucking time. I was never with Casey doing anything. I don't know what you want anymore but I'm getting over it. Why didn't you just serve me with divorce papers"? Marron looked at him and she felt like she was going cry at his harsh words. He had never talked to her like that or being so mean. Marron placed her hands on her stomach. Was she the one making him so cold to the world? He no longer went out or being social Goten and Marron kept her updated since he moved back into his old beach house.

"Trunks I don't want a divorce…" Trunks shook his head. "Is this about the money? Did you separate so you could keep the credit card because if it is-"

Marron looked at him and cut him off and opened her purse searching for the card that he given to her. He held her hands and saw that she was shaking and a tear fell on the table. "Marron I don't want the money. I could care less but, I want you to be happy. Keep it please use it to buy things for the baby and whatever else you need. I'm sorry we could end on better terms." Marron grabbed his hand back and looked at him.

"I don't want a divorce I just want us to be back to like we use to be before we got married. Maybe we should have waited longer than three months but then again you only did it to keep me away from Grayson." Trunks was shocked that she knew the truth about the purpose of getting married so quickly but he loved her. There was no lying or denying that.

"Anyways I wanted to invite you to my party tonight at the Grand. I really l want you to be there. I would appreciate it all of our friends are going to be there." Marron let go of his hand and dropped the invitation on the table and just left him to his thoughts.

Author's Note: Does Trunks leave or will him and Marron reconcile his differences.
