I woke up to a pounding on my front door. Something didn't feel right and thats when I realized I was laying naked on my parents couch, wrapped in Trunks' loving embrace. When I shifted to get up, his eyes fluttered open.

"Who's that?" He groaned sleepily but smiled at me.

"I don't care." I returned the smile and then snuggled back down next to him, burying my head into his chest. In responce he laughed and tightened his embrace around me.

After a moment the pounding returned and it seemed even more urgent. I groaned and began to get up but Trunks pulled me back. "You get dressed. I'll get it."

He quickly slid on his jeans and answered the door bare chested.

"Bra?!" I heard Trunks' voice and then saw her run straight into the living room just as I was slipping on my top. Trunks entered the room right behind her.

"Bra, Whats wrong?" I stepped forward and put my arm on hers in a comforting gesture. Her frantic expression worried me.

"I've been looking for you guys everywhere." She took a deep breath as she looked from Trunks to me and back again. "You guys can explain this whole sitsuation to me later but right now you have to come with me, Trunks."

"Where?" Trunks looked at me for an answer that I didn't have before turning back to Bra.

"Cammy started hemorrhaging. Shes at Satan City Hospital. We've got to hurry."

Trunks looked panic-striken when he turned back to me and my heart sank. No matter how much I hated Cammy and wanted to blast her to bits, I'd never wish ill-will on the baby, Trunks' child or not. He opened his mouth to speak but I leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"You need to go." I tried my best to smile but the look in Trunks' eyes scared me. It looked like he was looking right through me.

"I'll be back. I promise." He hugged me quickly and then he and Bra were off. Then I was alone.

I sat down on the couch and took a deep breath. His scent still hung in the air as a reminder of our night of passion. We bonded last night and I could feel the results all the way to the depths of my soul.

I tried not to feel betrayed that he left me to go to her. It was only logical. Cammy was in danger, as was the child that could easily be his. He had to go and I understood that but why did I suddenly feel so alone? I really was concerned about the baby. If anything to the baby or Cammy, I knew Trunks would take it hard. I knew Trunks would never blame me but I'd never be able to forgive myself.

If she died, he'd blame himself. He'd think that he should have stayed with her last night but he hadn't. I knew Trunks well enough to know that. If it came down to that, I'd feel responsible.

I forced myself to calm down and not drown in my own self-doubts. I had to do something or I'd lose my mind. Slowly I picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number.

"Hello?"

"Kyoko? Its Pan. I need some company."

"I'll be there in 15 minutes." She sounded concerned when she hung up and I couldn't blame her. I sounded depressed and I knew it.

True to her word, Kyoko was at my doorstep 12 minutes later. The second I opened the door a crack, she burst in and threw her arms around me tight. Once she let me go, she led me to the couch and sat down next to me.

"Okay Panny. Tell me whats going on now."

It was actually a relief that Dad had already told Kyoko about the saiyans because it made it much easier to explain the whole bonding thing to her. I told her all of the events that had taken place since Trunks' phone call last night and when I finished she fell into a shocked silence.

"Wow Pan." She just looked at me empathically but then smiled. "Just remember... no matter what happens, Trunks Briefs loves you. You guys bonded. It'll all be okay now."

I couldn't help but smile. Kyoko always had a knack for saying exactly what I needed to hear.

"We should go and stay with him, Pan."

"We may just make it worse. I don't think I could stand it if I messed things up even more."

Kyoko sighed angerly and met my gaze fiercly. "Pan, stop! You better understand that nothing Cammy is going through now has anything to do with you. It was Trunks choice to come to you last night. Neither one of you could have known that this would happen. Stop blameing yourself! I mean it. Now lets go."

"But what about the restraining orders?" I just knew Dad would kill me if I got arrested.

Kyoko laughed easily and winked. "She'll never know that we're there. We'll stay in the lobby. Besides, you're only going to be miserable the longer that you stay away from Trunks."

I sighed but smiled despite myself. "I guess you're right. Lets go."

It took about 10 mins to get changed and then Kyoko and I were off and headed towards the hospital.
