Okay guys... this is a short interlude chapter to set up for the Cammy section! I hope you like it and I will post more tomorrow! THANKIES *FAYE*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a long talk with our families and an explination to the doctors that I was sure that they did not believe, Trunks was allowed to take me home. I don't remember saying much of anything in the car but Trunks looked over at me every few minutes just to make sure I was okay.

He opened the front door and walked with me over to the couch. The clock read 10:48pm but I was wide awake. The two conflicting emotions in my heart were eating me apart and Trunks seemed to know it. The loss of our baby made me want to just break down and cry but the sheer, blinding fury that accompanied that feeling made me want to hit something as hard as I could.

The only reason that I hadn't gone after Cammy yet was because I'd promised Dad and Vegeta that I wouldn't. We'd set up a plan so that she'd be caught in the act of attempted murder but that required patience which was something that I'd always lacked.

I sat stiff as a rod on the couch and stared at the wall. I knew Trunks was watching me and from the feeling I was getting from the bond, I knew that he was concerned. After a long silent pause I felt Trunks put his arm on my shoulder. I told myself that tears wouldn't help anything now and I vowed not to cry. Unfortunatly the little girl in me just wanted to climb into Trunks' strong arms and stay there until the pain went away. I didn't trust myself to speak so I just listened.

"Pan?... Pan, please talk to me. Too many things have happened... I love you... I can't lose you... I-I need you." His voice broke off as emotion overtook him and he turned his face away so I would not see.

My heart sank. I guess I didn't take the time to realize that I was not the only one going through a rough time. I'd been so worried about myself that I had virtually pushed Trunks aside. Now he sat on the couch, turned away from me and crying.

I reached out and brushed his hair out of his eyes with my hand. At first touch he went a bit rigid but when I leaned over and wrapped my arms around him, he melted into my embrace.

"Panny, please don't push me away. Let me help you through this." Tears till shone in his eyes as he held me tight.

"I-I'm sorry. I just..." I had to take a deep breath before I continued. "I just don't want it to hurt anymore."

"Then let me help you." He took my face in his hand and looked deep into my eyes. "Please." He looked almost desperate.

Ultimately the little girl in me won out because I had barely choked out the word "Okay" before he lifted me into his lap and held me as though he'd never let me go. We both let tears fall freely but the deep pain associated with the loss of the baby seemed to lessen now that I had Trunks to help me.

We spent the rest of the night talking and holding each other. Just when I thought that I couldn't love Trunks anymore, I found myself falling even harder for him.

The next morning I woke up in our bed with Trunks laying next to me and I suddenly felt at peace for the first time since I'd woken up in the hospital. Trunks and I agreed not to let Cammy ruin even more then she already had. Yes she'd hurt us both deeply but we still had each other and that was more than enough.

I was also excited though because we'd decided to try for another baby. The first time had been a fluke but this time we'd be expecting it. I couldn't wait.

I felt two strong arms wrap around me and Trunks nuzzled my neck playfully. "Good morning beautiful."

"Hmmmmmmm..." I sighed contently and then rolled over and found myself gazing into his big blue orbs. "Good morning to you."

"Well... the plan isn't till tomorrow and Mom gave me today off so... What do you want to do today?" He gave me a wicked wink.

"Hmmmm... maybe we can just think of something." I grinned and tackled Trunks playfully.

"I think I'm going to like this something." He smiled before kissing me lovingly.

I melted into his arms and we spent the better part of the day enjoying my plan.
