Chapter 9 : Problems with Trunks
Goten sat next to Bra facing Pan in her small living room. Bra lay sideways with her head on his legs as they both watched their best friend.
Pan hadnt been quite herself lately and both her friends were a little worried. She knew what that they were concerned but no matter how many times she tried to assure them that she was fine they still wouldnt believe her. She sighed exasperated as she turned and started flipping through one of her only magazines, Health & Fitness.
` Pan seriously, whats eating you? You know we would never say its stupid, just tell us. We would like to think of ourselves as your best friends but... ` Bra trailed off searching for the right words.
` How can we if you dont let us know whats bothering you? ` Goten finished in a stern but comforting voice.
Pans frown deepened as she looked down at her hands. Could she really tell them and not get them too freaked out? She seriously doubted they would understand. Bra certainly wouldnt have this kind of trouble and Goten wouldnt see it from her perspective. She was busy debating with herself and didnt see the look Bra gave her boyfriend.
~ Am I starting to rub off on him? ~ Bra wondered as she looked up into his dark eyes and smiled back when he smiled down at her.
` Its just that.... ` Pan began uncertainly then looked away.
` What? ` Both Bra and Goten said together.
` Oh, its not a big deal. ` Pan huffed as she got up and put some space between herself and them. She went out into the mini kitchen and started to put away silverware from the sink.
` Yes it is. ` Bra said firmly. ` Or you wouldnt be acting this way. `
Pan looked up and stared at her friends from across the counter.
` I just.... well Trunks and I, we, I want... oh hell. ` She said as she pushed the drawer closed violently with her hip. She walked across the kitchen putting more distance between her and Bra.
` Whats up with my brother? ` She asked a little confused.
` Our 10 month is this thursday. `
` Yeah, so? ` Bra was now up and standing a few feet away from Pan at the edge of the living room.
Goten was only half listening as he watched a small bird perch outside on the window ledge. What Pan said next brought his full attention back and his eyes grew round as he stared at her.
` I want him to do more than kiss and pet me or show me off like some goddamn trophy. ` Pan sat abruptly on the carpeted floor across from her uncle.
Goten was gaping as he slowly crawled over to crouch in front of her. Gazing into her hurt eyes and seeing her straight angry shoulders he had to wonder why. His niece was one of the most beautiful women on the planet and a saiyan at that. What was Trunks waiting for?
` You mean you and my brother havent had... `
` Nope. ` She said and sighed.
` Wow. I really have no idea what to say. Have you hinted a lot? Usually he isnt dense when it comes to women. ` Bra asked. Pan found herself thinking for the daughter and carbon copy of a genius, Bra was pretty stupid sometimes.
` Of course I have. ` Pan bristled. Both girls forgot about Goten being in the room as they talked about the things Pan had done and Bra gave her a few suggestions.
Gotens mind began to wander as he thought of a few of the things they spoke of. Things he had wanted to do with Trunks since high school.
Turning off his computer and sliding into his lap kissing him so passionately he moaned. Pan said that time he had used the excuse it was late. She also said Trunks was starting to get hard but pretended he wasnt.
Pan cursed his pager and his work and Bra agreed. Neither noticed Goten rise and slip out of the room and into the bathroom, shutting the door quietly.
Once inside the pale blue room he leaned against the wall and looked into the mirror at his flushed cheeks and glittering eyes. He gave a heavy sigh a muttered to himself as he leaned forward and splashed some water on his face.
` Damn it. `
~ Why does it always have to be like this. How can thinking of him like that do this to me? ~
(Later that week)
On thursday Trunks called her at work and said he needed to work late again. He said he couldnt make it to diner at her apartment (which is what they usually did for their anniversaries). He promised he would make it up to her this weekend and take her to a real fancy place.
Just a little depressed, she came home and watched a movie that was on TV then went to bed early. Tomorrow was a surgery day at the hospital and she would be very busy.
Friday night, as promised Trunks took her to one of the finest restaurants in Satan City. He seemed tired and a little distracted with a far away look in his azure eyes. She kept conversation light.
When a sizable meal had been finished he suggested they go back to his place and watch some old movies. She agreed and they set out.
Trunks picked the tape that had both births of earths female saiyans on it. As he popped it in Bra came down the stairs to get a snack and ended up staying to watch. The three hybrids watched the entire tape and laughed if someone moaned at the gory birth scenes. Bra and Pan were a little uncomfortable watching themselves be born but Trunks was having a lot of fun teasing them about it.
Vegeta came in from a late night of training and found his children and Pan on the couch in the main area. As he turned to ascend the stairs and get some much needed sleep, he heard the squalling cry of a newborn.
He turned back and saw his son about the age of 14 holding 2 infants. One was Bra who laid in his arms and looked up at him curiously. He took in the adorable look she gave her brother and knew she had been born with that ability to melt even the coldest of hearts with her eyes.
In Trunks` other arm was a thrashing baby Pan. Screaming for all she was worth with her chubby fists flying, Trunks looked up into the camera with a ` What do I do know? ` look. Chuckling softly Vegeta took a seat in the armchair next to the couch.
The four sat quietly and watched the home video until it ended. The last thing on the tape was Goten and Trunks play sparring with Pan and Bra who were about 5 years old. Bra stretched and got up from the couch.
` Pan do you want to stay in my room tonight and got shopping in the morning? `
Pan looked tiredly at her friend, then looked at her boyfriend. He`d stretched out the entire length of the couch and gradually pushed Pan off.
Scowling at him he gave her a fake son grin and acted innocent. Vegeta looked back and forth between them all and realized how much they had grown. His little princess wasnt so little anymore and his brat was getting old.
~ In fact, ~ Vegeta thought with a smirk. ~ He looks as old as I do. ~
He then got up and with a curt nod to them left the room for his bed.
Pan left with Bra but stopped at Trunks` door and gave him a meaningful look. Bra continued to her room and left the door open.
Trunks looked at her for a second, then with a sweet smile he kissed her. The kiss didnt last very long but when he pulled away he held her by the shoulders.
` Pan, go relax with Bra, you two dont hang out very much anymore. Besides if you wanna kick my fathers butt tomorrow you`ll need the rest. ` He said softly then leaned over and kissed her frown.
` Hey, ` He continued. ` If you spent the night with me you wouldnt have the strength to spar with dad in the morning. ` He reasoned with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Her scowl was still in place when she entered Bra`s room. Sighing she sat on the edge of the bed. Bra was already dressed for bed and approached her friend and sat beside her giving a sympathetic smile.
Getting up Bra went to her dresser and pulled out a pair of Pan`s pajamas. As long as either could remember Pan had always been welcome there. No one ever knew when Pan would unexpectedly need to spend the night so she always kept one pair in Bra`s room. Although nowadays, she kept a second pair in the Gravity Room`s bedroom for Saturday nights.
Annoyed, Pan grabbed the offered clothing and stood and turned. As she began to yank off her shirt Bra turned around and pulled the spare mattress out from under her bed and set up a place for her friend to sleep. Bra was unfazed by Pans smoldering look as she climbed under the covers. Bra didnt say a word as she turned out the light and slide under the blankets herself. She knew her friend wasnt in the mood to talk and she knew she wasnt mad at her.
As Bra rolled over onto her side and looked out the window at the stars she decided Pan deserved a splurge tomorrow. Whatever Pan saw that she liked Bra would buy for her. Trunks was being an asshole and Bra wanted to make Pan feel better.
A/N: The next chapter should be fun to write. Anyways, how did everybody like this one? I know chapter 8 was really short and Im sorry. I promise the next one will be longer than this one. ~top down, seat back, rollin in my cadilac..~ Sorry, Im listening to music to keep myself awake. Im kind of sick and I forced myself to update yesterday, now its snowing like crazy and soon I will be trapped in my house so maybe there will be another update tomorrow. Hey, you can always wish right?
Review please its what gets me to update faster, yell at me if ya feel like it I dont care.
