Okay... seriously. This chapter was really hard to write but it sets up for the next one nicely. I hope you can get through it okay. Please review! Love ya all TONS! *Faye*

"What?!" Trunks nearly shouted and he ripped the box from my grip.
Tears welled in my eyes and I looked back and forth from Cammy to Trunks. This couldn't be happening. Cammy had to be playing a trick on us. That was the only option I could fathom.
"Like Pan said. I'm pregnant." Her smug smile nearly made me lose my dinner. The urge to become physically ill from shock nearly overwhelmed me.
"You're lying." Trunks face was pale and his hands were visably trembling as he looked in the box. Only his voice sounded firm.
"No, I'm not. I even brought a notarized letter from the doctor as proof of pregnancy." He pulled out a letter and handed it to him.
"What do you want me to do?" Trunks looked at the paper that she handed him and let out a heavy sigh.
"I want you to be a father to our child. I want you... *she choked up* I want you to give me a-another c-chance." Tears streamed down her face and Cammy buried her face in her hands before letting out loud sobs.
I felt frozen. I knew those were fake tears but with just one look at Trunks and I knew he fell for it. I knew he still loved her. He wanted to give her another chance. The left no place in his heart for me.
Trunks was Vegetas son and if he'd learned anything from his father, it was pride and loyalty. Without a shadow of a doubt I knew Trunks would do the honorable thing. He would go back to Cammy and take care of their baby. I couldn't and wouldn't ever even think about asking him to do anything else but that didn't mend my broken heart one bit.
I looked at Trunks and our eyes locked immediately. It was obvious that he wanted me to do something to help but there was nothing I could do. What was done, was done and I had to accept that. Hot tears began to fall from my eyes. "Trunks, I have to go."
"Pan, wait." He looked on the verge of tears as well and that weird magnetic link between us felt like it would rip me apart if I took another step but I had to fight it.
"No Trunks. We both know what you have to do but I'm sorry. I can't watch it happen." Tears were still pouring down my face but before he could say other word I took off to the sky and flew home, leaving Cammy and about 20 theater goers in shock.
I flew staright into my bedroom window, completely forgetting about Kyoko's presence, and collasped onto the bed in sobs. Kyoko had been sitting on my chair and although I knew she was shocked by my flying, she ignored it. She sat on the edge of my bed and ran her hand lightly over my back, speaking in a comforting voice.
"Oh Dende. What happened, Pan?"
"C-Cammy's pregnant!"
"WHAT?!" Kyoko screamed so loud that it echoed through the house. "Tell me everything!"
I forced myself to calm down and tell her the whole story. She listened carefully and didn't interrupt at all. The moment I was finished, she jumped off the couch and began to curse like a sailor.
"I knew it! That stupid, STUPID bitch!"
"What are you talking about Kyoko? You've never even met her."
"No but I've heard plenty. Everyone knows that Cammy was cheating on the president of Capsule Corp for years."
"I-I've never heard that." My despair was slowly becoming anger.
"Well, duh! No one told you because they found out that you were in good with the Briefs." She looked at me like that was something that I should already figured out.
"Even if she did, that doesn't prove anything. She's pregnant and Trunks is going to take responcibility." Everything felt hopeless.
"But Pan!... What if Trunks isn't the father?! That would mean that he'd be taking responcibilty for a problem that was not his own!"
That thought hadn't occured to me and a hot rage suddenly consumed me. "Please tell me that you're joking!"
Kyoko looked dead serious and took my hands in hers. "Pan, I swear I wouldn't lie to you."
A primal urge in me exploded and I jumped off the bed. My ki skyrocketed as I floated in the air, surrounded by an aura of my power.
"I'll kill her!" My fury raged. My only thought was to find that bitch.
Dad must have felt my ki flux and heard my scream because he charged into the room at full speed, ready to fight. Poor Kyoko just looked at me in shock but I was too mad to calm down right now.
"Pan? Whats wrong?" Dad looked at me in confusion.
"Cammy! I'm gonna KILL HER!"
Dad looked at me in shock. I'd never been this upset in my life and I'd definetly never threatened a human life. He must have known that it was a difficult sitsuation because he approuched me very slowly.
"Pan, I don't know what happened but you know better than this. You have to calm down."
"DAD STOP!" I screeched wildly. Between my broken heart and the thought of anyone tricking Trunks so horribly, I'd flipped.
"PAN! Stop it now! I'm not playing. Don't make me stop you." His voice was calm but firm. I watched a ki ball form in his hand and I knew he'd blast me if he felt it was the only way.
I felt my rage begin to seep away and when my gaze shifted to the frightened face of Kyoko I realized just how truly irrational I was being. I allowed myself to float back down onto the bed and lowered my ki.
Dad slowly lowered his own ki too and once he was assured that I was truly calm he sat next to me on the bed and wrapped his arms tightly around me.
I sat stiff as a pole and shed no more tears. I felt numb. Dad looked up at Kyoko who had visably paled and was trembling. I felt horrible about never telling her about my powers and this was a horrible was for her to find out.
"Kyoko its okay. I'll explain everything once Pan is calm. Come sit down." Dad patted the bed next to us and she slowly sat. "Now will somebody please tell me whats going on?"
"I-I will." Kyokos color became a little better, She explained everything to Dad about the whole triangle and our problems. Dad sighed when the story was over and looked at me disapprovingly.
"Pan, if Cammy is pregnant, reguardless of the father, thats even more of a reason not to harm her."
The fact that I knew he was right did not make me feel any better at all. Suddenly I knew what I had to do and I jumped to my feet. "I have to talk to Trunks."
"Pan, I don't think that you should. You can't make anything any better." Dads eternally calm gaze seemed to see right through me.
I had to bite my tongue to keep from yelling and didn't speak until I knew I could do so calmly. "I know Dad but... but I have to do something. I-I love him."
Kyoko's and Dad's jaws dropped in shock so I took that opprotunity to fly out the window and headed straight to Capsule Corp.
