Chapter 14: Pregnancy Troubles
--------
Pan stared at the old house with distaste. "We're going to live HERE?"
Gohan nodded. "Yes. It was the best we could get on such short notice."
Pan sighed. *Well,maybe it's better on the inside than it is on the outside.* She hastily took a step inside her new house. The stairs creaked with every step she took. The wallpaper was peeling,and the entire house had a faint smell of sewage water.
"Oh,yuck! Do you smell that,mom?"
Videl sniffed the air cautiously. "I sure do."
"I really don't like this place." Pan frowned.
"It takes time,honey. We'll fix up this place and it'll look as good as new!" said Gohan cheerfully.
"Somehow,I don't believe you,Dad." Pan grumbled,thinking of her cozy home back in Satan City.
*Beep! Beep! Beep!*
Gohan picked up his cell phone. "Hello?"
"Hey,Bro,it's Goten."
"Hey Goten!"
"Are you at the new place yet?"
"Sure am."
"Well? Do you like it?"
"I...ah...Yes,yes I do."
Goten laughed. "Why don't I believe you? Hey,is Pan there? I need to tell her something important."
"Is everything all right?" Gohan looked concerned.
"Yeah. Just give it to Pan."
Gohan handed Pan the phone. "It's Goten," he whispered,"He says it's important."
"Hi Uncle Goten."
"Hey,Panny! Like the new place?"
Pan rolled her eyes. "It's....interesting."
Goten laughed. "Hey,Pan,listen....I've got to tell you something." He paused.
"Go on. What is it?"
"Um...Listen to me,Pan...Yesterday Trunks was married."
Pan nearly dropped the phone in shock. "What?!"
"Now,calm down,Panny. He was married to Terri..."
"Shit! Did you guys go?"
"Nope. No one went."
"Sweet Dende. How could he DO this?!"
"I don't know,Pan. I'm really sorry. Listen,I gotta go,I'll talk to you later okay?"
"Wait! How come Bra didn't call me?"
"She's right here. Wanna talk to her?"
"Yes. Give it to her."
A few seconds later,Bra's voice came on the phone. "I'm so sorry,Pan."
Pan sighed. "Why,Bra? I don't understand him at all!"
"Neither do I. And he's my brother. I feel like a fool...I let you down,didn't I?"
"No,no...It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. By the way....what are you doing at Uncle Goten's anyway?" said Pan slyly.
On the other end,Bra blushed bright red. "I...um,he was helping me with some of my homework. I didn't understand it."
"Don't you lie to me,Bra Briefs! I know you too well,and you would never,ever-"
"Oh,all right! He wasn't helping me with homework,okay?"
"So are you pregnant?"
"Sweet Dende! What the hell?!"
Pan burst out laughing. "I'm just kidding. But seriously,did you um..."
"That's none of your business! We have to go now,okay? Bye!"
Pan giggled. "Oh,all right. But promise me something,Bra. I'm serious."
"What?"
"Don't you dare give Trunks my number. Please. Ok?"
"I promise."
"Good. Bye."
As she hung up the phone,an awful feeling of lonliness hit her. "Trunks is married...Terri's his now.."
"What?! Trunks married Terri?" Videl shook her head.
Pan nodded and sighed. "I'll explain.." She had a feeling it would be a long afternoon.
-------
Trunks took off his tie as he stretched out on the couch of their hotel room. Terri and him were not supposed to go to their honeymoon,until after the baby's birth,since Terri was in her delicate condition right now.
"We're finally married,huh Trunks?" Terri's eyes gleamed with happiness.
"Yeah." Trunks stared out the window.
"Did you see CNN? They were showing a video of our entire wedding!"
"They were showing it only on every other channel."
Terri frowned. "Now what's eating you? Missing that kid Pan again,I suppose?"
"Oh yeah. I miss her like anything."
"Well,get over it already! Geez. She's only a friend. Or am I wrong?" she winked,"But I don't care anymore. We're married! All the money-" she covered her mouth with the palm of her hand,"Oops."
Trunks couldn't take it anymore. "You married me because of my money?! And because of all the fame you'd get,right? Bitch!"
Terri gasped. "What's wrong with you? I just said that by accident. And don't curse at me! Some father you'll make!"
Her words stung Trunks. *I don't have anyone anymore. She's all I've got. If I leave her now...* "I'm sorry,Terri."
She smiled widely. "That's good. I'm sorry,too,then. Who ever heard of a newly wedded couple arguing?"
Trunks laughed. "There's a first time for everything,Terri. There's a first time for everything."

~8 months later~
Terri was now a full 9 months pregnant,and the baby was due at any time. Trunks had even taken a few days off from work,in case Terri had to go to the hospital and he might not be home.
"Trunks!" Terri yelled suddenly.
"What is it?" He ran downstairs,concerned.
"I'm ready." Terri moaned.
Trunks gasped. Wasting no time,he scooped her into his arms and flew to the hospital.
Terri was admitted into St Joseph Medical Hospital right away. Trunks paced back and forth,praying to Kami that everything would be all right.
An hour later,the surgeon burst out of the door,and Trunks relaxed. But when he suddenly yelled,"Mr Briefs!" Trunks ran over,panic stricken.
"What? Terri's okay,isn't she? And the baby?"
"I'm afraid not. Mr Briefs,your wife is in a critical condition right now. I'm afraid we can only save one person's life--Your wife's,or the baby's."
