THE STORY OF YOU AND ME

PRESENT

Trunks snapped to attention, having been snoozing rather pleasantly. The dream/memory was so erotic but what made the lavendar haired prince frown was that he couldn't distinguish the shadow that was with him. Trunks sighed, rising from his desk. It had been a week since he'd last seen Goten and not to mention Tora. Trunks smiled. The little girl was so full of energy and it was hard to concieve that her mother had left her. What woman could have abandoned Goten? That was even more pressing to Trunks' mind. Trunks glanced at the appointment calendar on his desk top, the date was circled. It was the night he was going to babysit Tora when Goten went to visit his father, alone. At first, Goten had been extremely hesistant and a little afraid to leave Tora but after two pairs of pleading blue eyes, Goten gave in.

Trunks turned his focus to the wall clock. Time to go to Goten's. Grabbing his jacket, Trunks rushed from his office, not bothering with the several wide-eyed stares some of the employees gave him, shocked that Trunks had changed so much. Not wanting to freak his new friend out too much, Trunks decided to drive rather than fly. He arrived at Goten's house and the second he stepped onto the porch, he was rushed by a blur of brown. Tora jumped into his arms, giggling.

"I missed you Trunksy!"

"Missed you too Chibi.Where's your dad?"

"He's in here," Tora whispered, leading the prince, her much smaller hand engulphed by his. The child pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

"Thanks. Hey Tora?"

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk when your dad leaves?"

"Sure. I'll be in the living room!"

Trunks had decided the minute he had been propositioned by Tora to babysit her, that he would find out the truth about Tora's parentage and find the woman responsible for causing Goten pain and for leaving Tora to grow up without a mother. Trunks leaned against the door frame, staring at Goten who was preparing a meal for Tora and Trunks. The younger man was dressed conservatively; loose khaki slacks clinging to narrow hips, a johnny collared white shirt, the top two buttons left opened. Trunks frowned. Since when did he notice that in Goten? It didn't seem to be a new feeling...almost as if had experienced it beforehand.

The spoon in Goten's hands clutterted to the tiled floor. Goten breathed a sigh. "You scared the heck out of Trunks. Did you just get here?"

"Yep." Trunks leaned down to fetch the dropped spoon at the same time Goten did, their hands brushed. Trunks nearly yelped from the shock of electricity to his senses. He remained staring into Goten's eyes, like a deer caught in headlights. He wanted desperately to look away but yet at the same time he didn't want to break the intense hold. Trunks let all rational thought vanish. Trunks pressed a feather light kiss to Goten's soft lips, relishing in the velvet texture. Kissing Goten was like tasting forbidden fruit. Trunks sought to deepen the kiss but before that could happen, a drop of water ricocheted against his cheek. Trunks opened his eyes to see that Goten was crying. "G..Goten? What is it? Oh Kami, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have done that!"

Goten hastily got to his feet. He didnt meet Trunks eyes. "The numbers are on the refridgerator." Goten took the keys from the counter and left the kitchen.

Trunks touched his lips, still tasting Goten. 'What did I do that for? Oh shit...' Trunks sighed, hearing the car start up and leave the driveway. Trunks cut the eye on the stove off, serving himself and Tora heaping platefuls. The little girl bounded inside, all traces of smiles gone. She reminded Trunks of Vegeta at that moment.

"Trunksy....what did you do to Daddy?"

"..Nothing Tora."

"Yes it was. Daddy was crying. The only time he ever cried was when he told me that his mate had left him." Tora's scowl deepened as she lept onto the chair beside Trunks'. "Trunksy, what did you do to Daddy?"

"...I kissed him, alright? On the lips."

"......Is that a bad thing?"

"Must have been. Tora......do you know who your mother is?"

Tora shook her head. "Daddy never told me. I figured if it was important than I would know. Daddy only said that his mate was gone."

"Why does Goten refer to your mother as his mate? As he ever said mother or wife or girlfriend instead?"

"No...."

Trunks sighed. 'Just what the hell is going on with you Goten?' "Tora....has Goten ever dated?"

"...Nope. He doesnt want to. Daddy believes that his love is still out there. He just needs to be found. Trunksy.....do you love him?"

Trunks was taken aback by the direction question. Did he love Goten? Trunks searched his heart, surfacing all the new memories, new emotions that mixed with past ones that he couldn't distinguish. Trunks thought of the time he spent with Goten and his answer was found. "Yes Tora. I love him very much."

Tora stopped eating and peered up at Trunks. "I'm glad. I think he loves you too. Thats why he was crying."

Trunks watched the little girl continue eating, his mind in a completely different plane. 'He loves me? So why the hell was he crying? Tora said that the only other time was when Goten was speaking of his wife... What does this mean?'

* * *

Goten went to his room at his father's, the same room in which Tora had been conceived. Goten felt a fresh flood of tears come. To have Trunks kiss him again after so many years was heartbreak, knowing that Trunks didnt even remember who the hell he was or of their daughter. Goten recalled that morning he woke with morning sickness. At first he had wrote it off as just the flu but then it kept occuring. Goten had gone to Gohan and the news he recieved made him so happy yet entirely too sorrowful.

* * *

Goten waited patiently on the padded bed in the cubicle. The hospital gown was extremely uncomfortable but not as uncomfortable as the nauseousness in the pit of his stomach. Goten clutched his belly as a new wave of pain ripped through. The door swung open, revealing a very dignified Gohan in a white suit.

"Hey Goten. How're you feeling?"

"What the hell do you think? I have the flu."

Gohan laughed. "No. Not the flu, at least not that type of flu. You'll be sick for a while..."

"What's wrong with me damnit!" Goten demanded, glaring daggers at his brother, the laughter ceasing to quiet chuckles.

"Goten, your pregnant."

"WHAT?!!!!!!!!" Goten gasped, eyes growing to the size of saucers. "Pregnant? HOW?!"

"I didn't believe it at first either Goten but..you have the hormone in your blood. You, little brother, are two months pregnant. So, who knocked you up?"

"....Trunks..." Goten whispered, tears threatning to fall.

Gohan lost all forms of congratulations, knowing that Goten would probably never see Trunks again for the rest of his life. Gohan sighed. "Do you want an abortion?"

"No! NO!!!! I want one thing...I want this child do that I can have something of Trunks'. I need something to remind me of him. You know?" Gohan nodded. "Gohan...how the hell is this going to happen? I mean...I can't exactly give birth like women do."

"Thats true. From what I've been able to deduce, the baby will grown in your stomach like it does a woman's but when its time for the baby to be delivered, a C-section will have to be performed. Its amazing. You have ovaries, a felopian tube. All of those organs found in a female that help with pregnancy and yet you have the male reproductive system. " Goten frowned. "No, I'm not saying your any less of a man, little brother. Actually, Goten, I did a check on myself and Dad and we have the same thing." Goten raised an eyebrow. "What I have conclucded is that Saiyans of third class were born to give birth to children. I remember Vegeta talking about it one time. The Saiyans had a shortage of females so the males adapted to the drastic drop in women. Our people were a remarkable race Goten. To be able to evolve over thousands of millenia and create a whole new way of producing children is a phenomenal feat."

Goten smiled at his brother's love for intellectual study. "Gohan...thanks."

"Your welcome Goten and...it'll be okay. You'll see."

"Yeah....."

* * *

But it hadn't been okay. The pain had been unbearable and with Trunks not there, Goten was forced to exhaust his own ki. If that wasn't the worse thing that could happen, while he was recovering in the hospital, he saw a report on the news about the Capsule Corporation President losing parts of his memory. A few weeks later, Goten recieved a message from Bulma about the bad news that Trunks no longer remembered him. Goten held his daughter, Tora, after Trunks full name Torankosu (...thats not right...lol)

Goten sighed, lying on his bed and staring at the cieling. Trunks unexpected kiss had been somewhat daunting but it felt so great. He wanted to kiss Trunks again but it was a huge mistake. To Trunks, he was just another person, not a once time soulmate.
