"Never Lose"
By Pixie
Pixie: Well, first off, you need to know, that in the story it's been exactly 1 month since JP's death. This fact is important when reading this chapter. And yes, I am aware how short the last chapter was, and I apologize for it. I was short on time, so I put up a short chapter. And now, Chapter 13 "An unexpected shock"
Bulma's POV
"Ok, Vegeta. We just need to stay calm," I said, beginning to panic.
"I AM calm woman. You are the one hyperventilating," Vegeta said in his usual mocking tone.
Ignoring him, I said, "We'll just go to the police that's what we'll do. We'll tell them our daughter is missing!" I grabbed Vegeta's hand and began pulling him towards the door.
"WOMAN!" he yelled. Now, normally, I just block out his yelling, and ignore what he says, but he caught me off guard.
"WHAT?!" I yelled back, really annoyed. I turned to face him, and he held up my keys and purse, with an arrogant smirk on his face.
With all the grace I could muster, I took the purse and keys out of his hands, and walked to the door. We switched out shoes, and left for the police station.
Marron's POV
L.A. at last. Our flight had followed Trunks and Goten's so we knew there was no chance of him running into us. Bra stepped off the plane behind me.
"I'm going crazy," she muttered, "I followed some half-witted blond half-way around the globe, because she thought that for some odd reason, a voice on the wind told her Pan was here. I must have my grandma's brains…" Bra shook out here hair, and gazed around her. "So this is America…" she said. Her blue eyes were caught up in the wonder of this strange world, and I yanked her along to go get a rental car. We had to go find Pan.
After going through a bunch of bullshit at the rental car place, we finally drove off, Bra behind the wheel, me trying to figure out where to go. I decided to follow my instincts.
"We'll start with Pan's college," I announced, "and see if her roommate knows anything about her whereabouts." We arrived at UCLA shortly. Bra, being a Briefs, was able to get info on Pan and her roommate.
"Celeste Ama…strange name. OK, so the two of them must have left together." Bra had a small photo of both Pan and her roommate, and was studying them closely, "Since I'm not familiar with the name Ama, I'm assuming her family isn't all that rich. Since Pan also was low on money, they are probably living together on the streets, or in some cheap apartment." Bra put down the photos and began to drive off.
It felt like several hours that we drove around. L.A. seemed larger than all of Japan, and we were only going on my instinct here. But a woman's intuition is SOMETHING else, I tell you. For right at that moment, I gazed out the window, and saw the woman known as Celeste Ama walking down the street.
Pan's POV
Shit. How, HOW could this have happened? I sat there, on the floor of the bathroom, tears running down my face, my worst fears confirmed. How could I, Pan Son, be pregnant? Well, I mean I knew how it happened, but wasn't my life BAD enough?
"SHIT!" I screamed out loud.
"Pan?" Celeste asked. I could hear her walking in the apartment. Oh God. Celeste! If this was bad on me, it was going to be just as hard on her. I buried my face in my arms and began sobbing uncontrollably. Celeste walked in the bathroom. She just stood there, and looked at me cry. Finally, she said, softly, "What happened?"
"I'm pregnant," I said through my tears.
"What?! But you…it isn't…Who's child is it?"
"There is only one man I have loved…and has loved me back. And he is the only man I have ever slept with."
"You don't mean…JP?!!"
I looked at her. I almost didn't believe it myself. But you can't hide from the truth. It haunts you on all corners. I stared straight in her eyes.
"Yes."
Pixie: Ooh…bet you didn't see THAT one coming.
Gohan: Can't say I did.
Pixie: NO time for dumb comments! MUST UPLOAD CHAPTER!!
Goten: We lost her…
Gohan: How much sugar has she eaten today?
