Chapter 13: The Wedding
-------
Tears of love and hope sprang into Pan's eyes. "He came. Bra must have told him.." she muttered to herself.
Videl looked surprised at this,too. "He still cares about you,dear..It's not his fault Terri's pregnant."
"Oh? Who got her pregnant in the first place?" she asked bluntly.
"That's what I don't understand either. If he loved YOU,then why get Terri pregnant? And when would he have had the chance to?" Videl shook her head,"It doesn't make any sense."
"He probably lied when he said Terri and him slept in two different beds. Remember the night he left and stayed at Terri's hotel instead? That would have been a perfect chance." said Pan bitterly.
"I don't know...Trunks just isn't that type of boy. He's your best friend,Pan. Would he do something like that?" Gohan looked at Pan expectantly.
If there was one thing in the world Pan was sure about,it was that Trunks never lied. Ever. Part of a Saiyan's pride was to never lie,cheat,or decieve,and those were things Trunks would never do. "Well,no." Pan admitted,"Unless....No,that's impossible."
"What? What's impossible?" Videl prodded.
"Unless Terri cheated on him." Pan's voice was barely above a whisper.
Videl's eyes widened. "You're right! Why didn't we think of it before?"
"It has crossed my mind several times," Pan admitted,"But Trunks would know whether or not he ever did anything with her. And besides,we would have seen the real father by now."
"That's odd too. But maybe Trunks did do something with her...but not to get her pregnant. I'm thinking that he thinks he's made her pregnant,but he really hasn't."
"There are so many possibilities!" Pan threw her hands up in exasperation. "But which one is the truth?"
---------
Trunks gazed after the departing train with sadness. "Panny.." he whispered softly. He suddenly looked up,embaressed. People were beginning to stare at him. He quickly turned around,pushed open the exit,and left.
Back at the hotel,Terri greeted him cheerfully. "Darling...what's the matter?" she droned.
"Nothing that concerns you." He shot back coldly.
Terri was taken aback. "What is it,my love? It's me isn't it? I'm too overprotective? That's it right?" She sighed tragically. "My darling doesn't love me!" she moaned.
Trunks sighed,and immediately looked apologetic. "I'm sorry,Terri. It's nothing about you,I promise! I guess I was just upset because Pan left.."
"She did?" Terri seemed overjoyed.
"Yes," Trunks looked at her strangely,"Don't be so happy about it."
Terri immediately changed the look on her face from happiness to pure sadness. "I don't know what came over me,love. I'm sorry." She put her arms around him and pressed his lips to hers.
Trunks tried to push her away,but he felt himself falling for her. Trying to shake off the feeling of guilt,he kissed her back. "So what do you want to do today?" questioned Terri,a mischevious gleam in her eyes.
*What the hell is wrong with me? I love Pan,not Terri! I don't love Terri..I don't..* He thought repeatedly. "What's that supposed to mean?" he asked angrily.
"Just this." She winked as she began to unbutton her blouse.
"What the hell,Terri! Stop!" he yelled fiercely. Surprised,Terri stopped. "We'll be married soon,Trunks. We're supposed to do this stuff,love." she cooed.
"Terri,please! You're pregnant as it is!"
"I know. I just wanted to play with you a bit." she said innocently.
Trunks shook his head in frustration. "When will you understand,Terri?!"
"Let's get married." said Terri suddenly,not seeming to hear him.
"I've TOLD you-"
"No. I mean it. I want to be married,Trunks! Don't you want me to be your wife?" Her eyes looked pleading.
He sighed. "Maybe I should consider it...it's been awhile now."
She nodded happily and thought,*Then he'll be mine forever. No one can take him away,especially not Pan. All that money,all the fame..it'll be mine!* "That's right,it has. So what do you say?"
He dropped his head in defeat. "All right. Start making calls,Terri. It's going to be a long week."
--------
"What? I will NOT,and I repeat,NOT come to your stupid wedding!" Bra yelled at the phone.
"Come on,Bra...your own brother? You've go to-"
"I refuse! Pan is the one you should be marrying!"
"Bra,what's going on? What's all the noise about?" Bulma called from the doorway.
"Hold on." Bra covered the phone with the palm of her hand,"It's Trunks. He's inviting us to his wedding!" She rolled her eyes.
"Let me talk to him." Bulma took the phone as Bra handed it to her,"Hello?"
"Mom! Please,look,you've got to come! Try to understand!"
"Honey,look. If you were marrying Pan,I would gladly come. But Terri...No way."
"Mom,please. Terri's parents will be there,and what are they going to think when they see-"
"I could care less what they would think! You're on your own,dear. I'm sorry." said Bulma,hanging up the phone.
"It hurts so much....My son is marrying someone against my wishes." Bulma cried softly.
Bra went to her mother's side and hugged her tightly. "It hurts me too,Mom. It hurts me too."
--------
"What do you mean you're not going to come?!" Trunks yelled at the phone in his hand angrily.
"I mean I'm not going to come." said Krillin matter of factly,"Eighteen and I met her once,and all I can say is...good luck."
"Come ON,Krillin! Mom and Bra aren't coming either!"
"They shouldn't come. You should be marrying Pan,Trunks. I'm sorry,I just can't."
"Goten's the only one left," He sighed,"It's useless to even invite Gohan and Videl,much less Pan. I know for a fact they won't come."
"You can count Goten out too. I know that Bra talked to him about it,and he doesn't want to be there,either." Krillin declared.
"Damn. Okay,Krillin,I'll see you later."
"Bye,Trunks. And good luck."
"Thanks," he muttered as he hung up the phone,"I'm going to need it."

~1 month later~
Terri was now 1 month and two weeks pregnant,and her stomach was beginning to get round. She smiled to herself as she was helped into her wedding dress by her mother.
"It's the big day,honey. Are you ready?"
"Yup," Terri nodded,"I've waited a long time for this."
Terri grinned brightly as she walked down the aisle and stood next to Trunks. She beamed at him,but he only gave her a half smile.
"Do you,Trunks Briefs,take Terri Elizabeth Mahoney to be your lawful wedded wife?" the minister asked.
He sighed deeply. "I do."
The minister nodded and then asked Terri a similar question. When all the vows were made,the minister said,"I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Trunks kissed Terri on her lips briefly,and focused his attention on Mr and Mrs Mahoney,who had come over to congratulate them.
"Where is your mother,Trunks? And your sister? What about the rest of your family and friends?" Mr Mahoney looked at Trunks expectantly.
"I-I...uhh..." Trunks blushed bright red. "They couldn't come."
Mrs Mahoney raised an eyebrow and looked at him skeptically. "That's odd. But oh well," she pasted a smile on her face as she looked at her daughter,"I guess it doesn't matter as long as you two are happy."
When Trunks didn't respond,the Mahoneys stared at him. "You ARE happy,aren't you?"
Trunks tried to control his tears. "Oh Yeah...I'm happy...I've never been so happy in my life."
