*Thursday evening *

Bulla stared at the list of foods and things she needed to avoid that she received from her doctor earlier. She just couldn't believe she was pregnant.

She just left her doctor's place about two hours ago and all that seemed to cloud her mind, was excessive thoughts, causing her to ponder about Seventeen, Goten and how this would all turn out in the end. She knew this wouldn't be easy especially since she wasn't married and also, to make things worse she no longer had a boyfriend and people were always swift to judge... What would be said about her? What would the world think of her, then? Would her and Seventeen ever get back together now that she was carrying Goten's child? And what if he didn't want it? And what if she wasn't a good enough mother?

Bulla sighed as she slowly placed her hand on her stomach and then exhaled. She needed to calm down. She couldn't stress out anymore or get frustrated. She needed to be considerate of the life of her baby from here on out.

"Bulla? I made some muffins and I want-", she paused as she noticed how down Bulla seemed, "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

Bulma entered her daughter's room and then closed Bulla's room door back behind her, before approaching her and sitting beside her.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?, " repeated Bulma, "You can tell me anything. "

She twiddled with her fingers nervously before finally answering, "Mom, I'm ...pregnant. "

Bulma gasped, "Are you sure?"

She nodded, "Pan took me to the doctor today and it turns out that I'm almost two weeks pregnant. "

"Wait. Almost two weeks? Isn't that when you and Goten slept together? "

She nodded again before shaking her head, "Mom, what am I going to do?

Everyone's going to see me as a wh-"

"Stop it, that's not true. And if people do see you like that, then you just have to ignore it and everything else negative they have to say -"

"But how, mom? People will take advantage of my situation and then drag my name in the dirt. "

"Your father and I weren't married until later on, after we had Trunks, so I can guarantee I know every emotion you're experiencing. Things may seem bad at first, but I promise everything will be okay."

"I sure hope it does."

"It will, trust me. And remember how you told me about everything that's happened? You need to do things a little differently and tell Goten you're pregnant. Don't wait. Waiting tend to make things worse. "

"You're right, mom. Oh, and please don't mention anything to dad."

"I won't. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, thanks. "

"No problem, I'll check up on you later. "

Bulla watched as her mother left before turning her attention back to her thoughts... She couldn't help but still think about Seventeen. She loved him and if he was already devastated because of what happened with Goten, then imagine how devastated he'd be if he found out she was carrying his child.

Goodness, this is a mess. She was in a hole deeper than what she could dig out of. Out of her and her brother, he always had it a little simpler than her. His relationship with Pan is proof. Her relationship with Seventeen was ruined, all because of something she did.

"Hi-ya Bulla! Vegeta said something about moving your stuff out for your new place," Goku interrupted unknowingly.

Bulla looked up and smiled lightly, "Hi Goku ...I take it that Dad is finished training now."

"Yep. "

"Thanks, Goku. I think I'm going to head over to Pan's again. "

"Tell her I said hi for me, will you?"

"Sure thing. "

###

"Thanks for doing this with me."

"No problem, Marron. "

Goten and Marron walked side by side. Marron carrying back the picnic basket that was now empty.

"I know you said you had to meet Trunks later on, so you can head out after you walk me to my car."

"Cool. Thanks for understanding."

"Of course, Goten. "

She inwardly sigh as she watched him from the corner of her eye.

Something was off about him, not in a bad way, but she was almost getting the impression that something was troubling him. She could be mistaken, but Goten had always treated her like a queen when they first started dating ...now it's as if he's treating her as just s typical girlfriend. Not that she's ungrateful or anything...it's just that they're relationship feels dead. It's not full of life like it use to be when they first began dating. She should have never cheated on him. Come to think of it, what was she thinking? She's never been one to have commitment issues before she began dating Goten ...but she has always been the person to get cheated on constantly and constantly...Could that have triggered it? Could that have been what caused her to cheat on him?

"-Marron?"

She quickly snapped out of her thoughts, before turning her attention towards Goten, "Yes? "

"We're at your car now."

"Oh, sorry. I zoned out for a bit."

"It's fine, but I really should go now. I have to meet Trunks in an hour."

Marron nodded, "Okay. See you later. "

He gave her a quick peck on the cheek before taking off towards his place.

###

"So, Bulma knows?"

"Yeah, you and my mom are the only people who know. After I inform Goten, then that's all who'll know until I start to show."

"Are you sure you want to tell Uncle Goten? "

"Pan, I have to. Number 1, I don't want to make the same mistake twice by hiding something and Number 2, he has a right to know ASAP he is the father after all."

"You're right, Bulla. "

"Yeah ...Do you want to watch a movie? "

"Sure, let's see what's on the TV first, though."

*Thursday Night*

"Glad you could make it, bro."

"Hey, it's no problem. Now what's up? "

"It's concerning Bulla. "

"What about her? "

"I don't know how to explain it, but I just feel so incomplete without her. I think about her everyday and I can't bear the thought of never getting a chance with her. I've realized just how much I love her and now I'm stuck with Marron because I don't want to hurt her."

"It sounds like you and Bulla bonded."

Goten raised an eyebrow, "What? "

"Pan and I are bonded like you and Bulla. For example, First we developed a regular friendly bond when she was four, but then when we went in space together, our bond increased and then from then on after we got back from space, our bond increased even more to the point where we were inseparable and thought about each other all the time even if we were around different people. And if we weren't around each other for a certain amount of time, it was unbearable and we constantly thought about each other even more. Now of course I consider her my mate, but I haven't marked her yet and if that happen then our bond will be completed."

"Wow, I never would have guessed. Can we hear each other's thoughts? "

"No, not yet. Once the bond is completed, then you'll hear each other thoughts. Did you mark her by any chance? "

"I don't think so. "

"Then the next time you two sleep together, you'll end up marking her... I fight the urge to mark Pan all the time. I'm trying to wait until our honeymoon. "

"I guess that makes sense. You don't have long to wait anyway. "

"I know and I can't wait."
