False Alarm?
Sailor Marz


Pan paced back and fourth in her room. Sweat dripping from her forehead not from training but from thinking. Her mind was blank yet millions of blurry thoughts ran through her mind. She didn't know what to do or what to think. She really wanted and needed to talk to her boyfriend, Trunks. She hesitated; she had no idea what to tell him. She didn't want to see his reaction. His reaction could exploded like a regular Vegeta reaction, after all they were family. Maybe his reaction will be different. He would never over react. Pan thought. Who cares? You are gonna have to tell him anyway. She picked up the phone and dialed his number. Her hand shook in the proccess. No one answered. Where could he be? He is probably training and can't hear the phone. She stood up and flew to his house.

Trunks was in the gravity room training as usual. Throwing hard punches and energy blasts at the opposing wall. His black muscle shirt was dripping and drenched with his sweat. His tied hair damped and sweat droplets formed all over his body. He was just plain happy. His life was going great. Work at Capsule Corps was skyrocketing in sales. His training was going better because he had a bit of time on his hands because bra decided to help out with the family business. His life was the best because he had the person he loved…he has Pan. She was the stable poll that anchored and drived him to succeed. Their 1 3/4-year relationship was still going strong. As he was thinking silent smile crept on his face. "Trunks" A beautiful voice crashed his thoughts. He spun around. Pan was standing there with a worried look on her delicate features. He long hair (she grew it) was tied back in her laid back style. "Pan! What are you doing here?" He ran and gave her a hug but she didn't return it. After he backed away he got a bit concerned "What is it?" She shifted and didn't respond. He smiled. "What is it? Tell me…" She looked at him with her big eyes. "Trunks…I think I am pregnant"

Trunks stood with no reaction, his face was blank, as was his mind. "Are you sure?" was all he could ask. "Well I have been feeling kinda weird, and the test said it was positive but I still have to go the doctor." She said in all one breath. A smile crept on his face. "What's wrong with bearing our kids?" He inquired. Pan had the most confused look on her face. "What?! How could this be a good thing?" She was in a mood swing mixed with anger and confusion. "My parents will kill me, my dad will kill you…literlly…and I am not joking either" She sat down. He sat down beside and he still had the smile on his face. "Marry me," He made it sound like a command. "Excuse me?? I really don't want to talk about marriage right now Trunks! I am 21 dammit!" Trunks stood up. "Your point is? I am 33…so?" Trunks said smoothly. "I-I am not ready…to have kids or to get married!!" She yelled and hoped it went to his brain. "So you don't want to get married to me?" Trunks had a glimpse of confusion and hurt in the tone of his voice. Pan stood and shocked. "That's not it…"

"Then what is it Pan!!??" Confusion raked his every thought. "I don't even have a friggin job!" Pan screamed back. In a rush she couldn't think, that was her only reply. Trunks gave her the most skeptical look. They both knew he was one of the most famous and richest person on the planet. "Uh-huh nice try" Trunks crossed his arms and made his inherited "Vegeta stance". "Well-well I am not ready for marriage," Pan said. "Okay then the kid won't have a father then??" Trunks was raging. "What?! You don't want to be the father??" Pan now raged with fire. "Well you don't want to get married to me." Trunks pointed. "SO? Well if I am not ready then I am not ready, don't you understand???" Pan stood up flying her hands everywhere while she screamed. Trunks caught her arms midway and that caused her to stop raging. He looked at her straight and deeply into her eyes. "Then what are we going to do?" He asked quietly. "I don't-know, I really don't" She broke down and cried. "My father will be so ashamed, he-he'll kill us both" She said between sobs. Trunks had no idea what to do. He sat down and hugged Pan tighter then he ever did. "We'll get through this, let's go see a doctor"

"Well Mrs. Trunks Vegeta…" Dr. Alma Burgorie started. "Uh…It's Ms. Son thank you" Pan replied swiftly. Trunks winced at her tone. "Oh! Excuse me, Mrs.-er-Ms. Son well do you want Mr. Vegeta Briefs to listen to your results?" She asked gracefully. "Yes" Pan again, said swiftly. "Miss Son, your test came out positive we have to run a couple more tests to see if we are absolutely 100% sure, But our departments congratulate you on your new baby!" The doctor smiled and beamed. Pan's face went a dark shade of puke-green mixed with a hint of purple. "Oh my goodness" Pan gasped at the doctor's words. "I am pregnant? For sure?" She blurted. The doctor jumped out of her happy state and into a quiet shocked one. "Oh…we are not absolutely sure, we will run more tests to see. The departments here confirm that it is most likely that you are." The doctor explained. "Is there something wrong?" The doctor asked concerned. "No, there isn't thank-you doctor" Trunks answered before she could ask anymore questions.

They stepped out of the office and Pan picked up a faster pace. Trunks tried to keep up with her. "Pan! Slow down!" Trunks said. "Leave me alone Trunks! Go home!" Pan yelled back. "What? Why? I said we are going to pull this together! Besides it is not 100%!" Trunks replied. "NOT 100%??? I don't care if it's not 100%!!!!!!!! I have a friggin kid inside of me!!! Okay?? You don't understand what I am going through right now!! Leave me alone!!!" Pan stopped and screamed. "I don't understand what you are going through?? I am going through the exactly the same thing!!!! I AM THE FATHER!" Trunks raged. Pan calmed down and sat down she looked up. She smiled and was happy… "Wanna train?"

Trunks looked very confused, Pan changed her moods so fast he couldn't tell when she was happy or sad anymore. They changed and met in the gravity room. "Are you sure you want to train? In your condition and all…" Before he could finish a hard punch slammed his face to the wall. He stood up and snapped out of reality. "What the fuc--??" Another punch smashed through his stomach fast and quick. Pan stood and sympathized. "God, you are loosing it" She snickered. "Be more prepared when you train with me, Trunks" Pan stood with her hands on her slender waist. "So? Ready?" She smiled. Trunks stood and admired. He loved her attitude so much, he loved her. " I love you" He smiled at her pose, with her hands on her hips. "That's nice" She laughed. Then all of a sudden her stomach twisted. Pan fell to the ground holding her stomach. Trunks rushed to her. "What's wrong?" Trunks asked. "I don't know…"

After an awhile Pan got better and she started to get really hyper again. Trunks sat on his bed were Pan was sitting. "Feeling better?" He asked quietly. She jumped up and yelled "GREAT!" Trunks jumped back startled. "I AM GOING TO GO HOME NOW!!!" Pan screamed again. "What?! Can you please stop screaming?" She was acting like a wild woman. She was jumping all over the place. It was like the pregnancy had a weird hyper side effect. A wide unusual smile crept on Pan's tired features. "BYE TRUNKS!!!" She screamed and flew out the window leaving behind a bewildered Trunks.

When Pan reached a good distance from her boyfriend's house she broke down into sobs. Her fake smile and energy collapsed in tears. She held her head in her hands and sobed and cried out loud. My God I am pregnant…My life is officially over. I am carrying something I produced something that has all my love in it. What am I going to do? Trunks can't know I brake down like this, he just can't know that I am not ready to carry his baby. Dande! Please help me with what I am going through. I need guidance something to help me get through this…I need help…please… Pan just sat and cried over and over again.

Trunks felt something weird. Something he had never felt before. He was at his desk writing up some stuff for the staff meeting at Capsule Corps. He felt Pan…but she was weak and vulnerable. He thought it was just a thing that ran through his mind but this was different then a thought it was a feeling that rocked his every sense. He couldn't take it anymore, he stood up and took his purple jacket and flew out to wear the feeling was coming from.

Pan jolted up from her curled position and lifted her heavy red eyelids. She felt Trunks around. She jumped up and panicked. He can't see me like this?? I can't give him that kind of pressure. He can't know that I am here!! Oh Dende! Where do I go?. Pan thought. She tried to hide her ki and then hid behind and big tree. As she thought, he appeared. He looked confused and concerned. She tiptoed the whole way home. Trunks never caught her. She looked around and saw him nowhere. He was there a minute ago, where is he? Man! I have to get home. "Pan!" someone called out.

Pan heard her name and she bolted home as fast as she could. Her name was called out but then she realized it wasn't Trunks' voice. The person grabbed her wrist and twirled her around. She came face to Face with her father, Gohan. "Daddy!!" She said astonished. "Pan! Where were you??" Gohan asked. "What? I was..out walking..Why?" Pan lowered her face. "The whole family is going put to eat to celebrate your Grand mother's birthday? Everyone is leaving right now! Go and get changed!" Pan startled and ran towards the house. Thank you Dende! Her father was too wrapped up in the issue of her forgetting Chi-Chi's birthday that he didn't notice her face and eyes that she was crying.

Pan ran down the stairs in her red platforms and tripped on the tail of her dress into the blackness of her living room. Where is everyone? Pan wondered as she was putting on her accessories and getting her purse. "Dad? Mom? Anyone here?" No one answered. Shit! I am going to have to fly there! In this dress! Can this day get any worse?? She grunted then took her keys and opened the door. She locked the door and walked down the stairs. Trunks was standing in a black tuxedo by one of his cars. His hair glimmered in the soft moonlight. He smiled and awed at what she was wearing. "Need a ride?"

"Uh…Thanks…" She ran up and gave him a quick peck as he opened the car door to let her in. Trunks got in and started the engine. Pan looked and felt tense. Trunks noticed her abnormal behavior. "What's wrong?" He asked. Pan just sat and didn't answer. "What's wrong?" He asked one more time. Still no response came from Pan. He reached his hand across the seat and took her hand. He hand lay flat and motionless in his. Both their cell phones rang and disrupted the evil silence. The both jumped and answered their cells at a precise time. "Hello?" They both said in unison. "I am getting there…it'll take about 10 minutes" Pan explained to a worried Videl. "Mom…I had to pick up Pan, well be there shortly okay?" Trunks explained. "Hurry up, the party is starting!" Bulma said on the other end of the line. They both clicked off their cells. The quiet resumed. Out of nowhere Trunks started to laugh. "What is it?" Pan asked annoyed. "It's nothing, It's just when you get mad and you sorta scrunch up your face and it looks funny, that's all" Trunks laughed. "Shut-UP! I don't need this you know! I am going through a lot of stress already!"

"What stress?" Trunks inquired. "Please tell me that my boyfriend is NOT that stupid!!" Pan started to go biserk. "What is it?" trunks asked again. "Trunks! I have a kid inside of me…our kid inside of me okay?!! It's not that fun!!" She sat quiet. Trunks reached out a hand and touched her shoulder. She yanked his hand away. "Don't touch me okay?" Pan said. "Okay" Trunks said. As the whole ride was filled with endless silence…until the car made funny noises then broke down.

"Dammit!" Trunks got out of the car. "I can't fix it now! We have to go! We are already late!" Trunks looked at Pan for some say. "Okay we'll have to fly there…" Pan groaned. "Okay…come here then let me pick you up." Trunks said smoothly. Pan didn't budge. "What's wrong? We have to go" Trunks stood there. "I could fly on my own you know?" Pan commented. "In that?" Trunks pointed to her red tight dress. Pan didn't even have time to reply. In one scoop Trunks lifted Pan effortlessly of the ground. They flew there in a couple of minutes." Can you let me down now??" Pan was irritated for no apparent reason. Trunks put her down. "What is wrong with you today?" Pan just gave him a death glare as he opened the door. "Nothing" as they walked into the restaurant.

"Well! They are here! We can start now!" Everyone cheered. Pan and Trunks stood there with everyone looking at the. "You were waiting for us?" Trunks said. "We couldn't start with out our famous lovey-dovey couple now can we?" Chi Chi gave both Pan and Trunks a hug as she talked. The party started and everyone sat in their places. Pan and Trunks sat beside each other. ChiChi placed them together even though Pan protested. Under the table Trunks grabbed Pan's hand. She tried to yank it away. I really don't care what is wrong with you; you are not getting mad at me! Trunks thought. I don't want to be close to him right now, doesn't he understand? Pan thought as she tried again and again to yank her hand away from his hard grip but he was too strong. "Let go of me" Pan whispered under her breath. "Nope" Trunks said.

Through the whole dinner everyone noticed Pan's unusual behavior. "What is wrong honey?" Videl asked at the table. "Nothing" Pan forced a smile. "Pan there is something wrong, it's all family here you can tell us, you don't have to hide anything" Goku assured. "Nothing is wrong" Pan started to get mad. Trunks held her hand even harder. The series of questions just kept on coming like darts hitting her face. She got sooo irritated. That she stood up and blurted "I am pregnant! Okay? Happy now???" She burst into tears and ran outside. Everyone including Trunks sat in their seats frozen of shock. "My God…" was all that crept across Videl's lips. Gohan held her tightly in his powerful arms. Trunks stood up and ran after Pan. After Trunks left the room everyone started to talk.

"Pan? Where are you?" Trunks said to the darkness. He followed the sounds of the sobs. Pan sat on a the cobblestone rim of the restaurant roof her head in her hands, her red platforms were beside her, her dress slit ripped higher for her to climb up the wall, and her hair a mess. "Pan…" Trunks started. "Go away!" Pan sobbed. "Leave me alone!!" She yelled. Trunks flew up right beside her. Pan stood up and backed off. "Pan, come here…"Trunks said as he reached out to her. "Don't come any closer…please…I really just want to be alone okay…please…" Pan pleaded. "No, You are not facing this alone…You need me…" Trunks said. "No! I don't! I don't need you! I don't need anyone!" Pan screamed. Tears streamed down her face. Trunks ran up to her. She ran backwards, a cobblestone beneath her shook and then fell out of place Pan lost balanced and plunged to the ground before Trunks could grabbed her.

"How is she?" Trunks asked worriedly. The nurse ran around the bed that held an unconscious Pan. "She lost quite a lot of blood…sir…" The nurse jammered. "Did she lose the baby?" Trunks forehead creased concern. "She most likely have sir…I am soo sorry" The nurse scooted out the door. Trunks slumped to the ground beside Pan's bed. "What have I done?" Trunks murmured to himself. He stood up and took Pan's lifeless hand in his. "It's all my fault. I did this to you I am not worthy to be with such a great person like yourself" He held her small hand with two of his massive strong hands, he gave her hand a kiss as a tear rolled down his cheek. "I love you, I am so sorry" In a split of a second he flew out of the hospital and out of Pan's life…

Pan's eyes opened, her stomach was killing her. She thought she heard Trunks voice. "Trunks?" Her stomach turned like a rollercoaster. "Trunks?" She repeated weakly. She felt so alone. She felt empty as if her soul had left her body. She had no idea why. Out of nowhere, a tear rolled down her cheek. "Trunks??" She cried. She needed him right now. She just needed to hold him. She needed him to hold her. It was like her body would die without his touch…now. Videl walked into the room and saw her distraught daughter. She ran up to her and held her. "Honey! What's wrong?" Videl exclaimed. "Trunks…Trunks.." Pan sobbed. "Shhh…"Videl soothed her daughter. "Trunks…" Pan fell into her mother's arms. She fainted and the meter on the table near her beeped…and the line went straight. She had stopped breathing. "Doctor!!!" Videl yelled.

Gohan held onto Videl tightly. Everyone was outside the operating room…everyone but Trunks. Everyone was standing, hardly speaking. Videl held on to Gohan's hand, her grip was so tight it could break a normal man's hand. Gohan was too worried to notice the pain. Bra occasionally let out a sob. "Where the hell is Trunks?" Gohan said calmly yet firmly. Everyone turned his or her heads towards Gohan. "Well…doesn't anyone know?" Gohan firmly said again. Everyone shook their heads gently as a response. Gohan just turned back to his wife. Then out of the corner the Doctor appeared. Videl rushed to the doctor. "Dr. Burgorie, How is she?" Videl asked shaking. "She was very lucky. The operation was successful." Everyone sighed in relief. Bra collapsed into Goten, crying with joy. "But…" The doctor started again. "What is it?" Gohan asked. "Did..she..lose the …baby?" Gohan was afraid to ask. "She never had baby to begin with…" The doctor tried to explain. Everyone went from stunned to confuse. "Excuse-me?" Gohan asked in bewilderment. "Well the test were false. We told her she didn't have to get wrapped up in the idea, the tests we did not confirm 100% that she was pregnant."

"But she had all the symptoms…nausea…and all that" Videl pointed out. "Well she had a bad case of Acidlideus of the main digestive vessel (I am making this up J). That caused her to have excuritating stomach pains…this also gave her the exact symptoms that an expecting mother would get but much more worse." the Doctor said. "Doctor in English please…" Bra choked out. Everyone shook their heads in agreement. "Well she had a big big big stomach ache" The doctor replied. "Ohhhhhhhhhhh" everyone said in unison. "You may go see her now" The doctor gestured. Everyone rushed into the room. Everyone stood at the doorway making sure she wouldn't wake up. Bra lunged herself at her best friend. "BRA!" everyone yelled out. "Pan!" Bra hugged and squeezed Pan so tight pan thought she might burst. Pan looked up happy. She looked at everyone and asked for something nice and simple "Trunks?"

Trunks slashed his word to the opposing tree, the tree sliced in half. She trained and trained for 12 hours straight. He went super-sayin mode. He knew it would hurt him but he didn't care. He didn't care what happened to. If he had caught Pan, she wouldn't have had a miscarriage. He wanted to die. He wasn't worthy of her anymore. She'd find someone she'd really love. It's my entire fault Trunks thought as he slashed repeatedly at the trees that surrounded him. I made her lose the baby…I deserve to die…I could have caught her…

When Pan heard about what happened. She knew exactly why Trunks wasn't with her…it was all guilt. She blamed herself for bringing the whole situation in. She ripped off the tubes that contacted he body. She changed and flew out. "Pan honey…its mommy…" Videl knocked on the door. When Videl heard no response. She opened the door to fin Pan gone. "Gohan!!!" Videl screamed. Gohan rushed to the room. Everyone discovered that Pan was missing and started to go find her. "Stop" Gohan said calmly. "She went to find Trunks, Pan is a strong girl she will live, don't go after her." Gohan sat down and picked up a newspaper.

She flew to the Forrest. She saw the trail of destroyed trees. Trunks was here… She knew it. She could sense him. He was around the area. His ki felt very low. Lower then an average human. My God, something is wrong…Where are you? Something felt weird, her stomach twisted in fear. Fear that something might have happened. "Trunks??" She called out. Then all of a sudden his ki disappeared. Then it came back, it was fading. Pan didn't want to face reality. Trunks was dying. Why? She had no idea. She was more worried then ever. She started to Panic. She saw a broad body all slashed up lying at the pit of the woods. "TRUNKS!!!" She screamed.

3 days later

Trunks opened his heavy eyelids to see him in a hospital bed. He made a great amount of effort to sit up. How long have I been here? He thought. He smelt fresh coffee, clean bed sheets, and the usual hospital smell. He turned his bandaged head to see a petite figure sleeping on a chair beside his bed. It was Pan. Her hair was all over her face. Her shirt and jeans were wrinkled. Her shoes and belongings were all over the room. Purple bags were under her eyes. How long has she been here? Trunks thought to himself. Pan woke up and smiled weakly at the site of him. He forced a smile back. Then she realized he was awake after three days. She stood up and rubbed her eyes and lunged herself at him. "You are awake!" She hollered. "Pan, go home" Trunks said simply. "Excuse-me?" She asked letting him go. "I have been here three days without leaving this place and now you tell me to go? I don't think so," She said with her hands on her hips. "Pan…Please don't make this hard for both of us…." He started. Pan stood and looked confused. "We shouldn't see each other anymore." he finished.

"WHY?!" Pan exclaimed. "Because…I am not worthy for you, I made you lose the baby…" He said turning away from her. Pan stood and looked at him. She dropped to the ground and burst out laughing. "What?" Trunks was forced to look. Pan continued laughing. "What is it??!! I wouldn't think our breakup would be something to laugh at!" Trunks raged. "You are really stupid! I was never pregnant in the first place!" She continued her laughing. "That's why you want to break up with me?" She looked at him straight in the eye. "You are supposed to stand by me if that ever happened. But you'd rather let me deal with it…alone…"She started to get serious. "What kind of a boyfriend are you??" "What?!" Trunks was confused. "I had a bad case od Aci-something…that gave me symtoms that a expecting mother would have okay??? And the tests were wrong…They did say the tests were not 100% positive," Pan walked to the other end of the room. Trunks grabbed her hand and yanked her back onto is lap. And Without another word he pulled her to him and kissed her. "I am sorry…" Was all he said.
