Trunks sat in his office signing some paper work. His best friend, Goten, was on the other side of the room filing them. Since Bra left six months ago, both of the young men had been manically depressed. Bra was his only little sister, and even though he didn't show it much, Trunks loved Bra to death. Like Goten, he would do anything for her.
"Mister Briefs."
Trunks jumped and papers flew everywhere when he heard his secretary calling on the intercom. He moved some papers around until he found his phone.
"Yes Charity?" Trunks called.
"You have a call on line three." Charity said, smoothly.
"Thank you." Trunks picked up the phone and hit the number 3 button. "Yes. This is Trunks Briefs speaking." When he heard the voice, he almost fell over.
"Well, hey there, you bastard. How are things going?"
"Brandon Hemingway. Well, I'll be damned. How have you been?" Trunks looked over in Goten's direction and signaled for him to come there.
"I've been good. I can't believe I'm talking to you man. Six years is a long time, ne?" Brandon asked when Trunks put him on speaker phone. Goten noticed the man's voice. He had always wanted to do this ...
"WASSSSAAPP, Brandon?!" Goten screamed into the phone. He hadn't talked to Brandon in a long time. Even though Trunks was a year older than him, they shared friends. Most of them liked Goten anyway.
Brandon sat silent until he could recoginze the voice. "Son Goten? Well, what the hell? I didn't think you and Trunks would still be friends! Are ya'll as tight as you use to be back in college?"
Trunks, Goten, and Brandon talked for about thirty minutes until a nurse called his name. Trunks and Goten both heard a girl screaming ...they swore it sounded like Bra.
"CHIRST! GET IT OUT!! OUT! OUT!" the woman screamed.
Trunks and Goten looked at each other confused. Why did they suddenly get this funny feeling that Brandon didn't call just to talk about the old time? Trunks spoke up first.
"Brandon, who was that screaming?" Trunks asked. "It sounded like someone I know."
Goten and Trunks heard Brandon sigh. This wasn't going to be pretty. "Well, as you both know, I work at Sumi Memorial in Osaka Fu. I'm an obstetrician, and right now, I'm delivering your ..I mean Bra's twin babies." Brandon said, as calmly as possible.
"Your WHAT?!" Trunks shouted. He just didn't hear that. Bra was having the babies. He hadn't even took notice of the months she had been missing. Trunks glanced over at Goten, who was in a state of shock at this moment.
" ...NANI?! Did you say that Bra was ..giving birth?! Please tell me that you didn't!" Goten finally said something.
"I'm afraid so, Goten. You know I don't like to repeat myself." Brandon said. He heard something fall on the other line. "What was that?"
Trunks cussed up a storm when Goten fell on top him. The younger man weighed a TON. He wasn't as light as a feather. "Goten passed out."
"Well, I need to get going. I think Bra's about to kill someone in there." Brandon hung up without a goodbye.
Trunks pushed Goten off of him, and into the floor. The purple haired, demi Saiya-jin knelt beside his best friend and started to slap his cheek. When Goten wouldn't wake up, Trunks walked over to his water sprout thingy, and grabbed a gallon of water. He screwed off the cap and turned it over on Goten.
Goten shot up with a start. "Who? What? When? Where? Why?"
Trunks knelt beside Goten. "We have to go and see Bra. She can't have those kids alone."

Dende had brought Goku and Vegeta up to the lookout tower. What he needed to tell Goku was for Vegeta's ears as well. When Dende explained the situation to the two Saiya-jins, Vegeta froze in his spot.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Vegeta screamed.
Goku put a hand on Vegeta's shoulder, and looked at Dende. "So, their going to ..." Goku couldn't finish.
"Yes. I have already foreseen what is to come. I'm very sorry Goku and Vegeta. I can't stop what is going to happen to them now." Dende's eyes glanced downward to peer in his looking glass. Bra was in major pain, and he knew it. Sometimes, it sucked being the Guardian of Earth. He hated to see people die. Especially the ones he cared for.
Vegeta and Goku both watched with Dende as Bra was giving birth. Not only would both of the men b grandfathers soon, but they would lose something valuable as well. Something more precious to them than anything in this universe. More precious that life its self.
