Ch.5: Telling Gohan and Videl



**Sometime in April**

Pan sat in the backyard of her parents' house talking to Goten while Videl, Jarrod and Gohan prepared the barbecue. Julie and Marissa were nowhere to be seen. Jarrod had sent them to get beer.

"So Pan how's your boyfriend?" Videl asked.

"Um he left me." Pan said. "He broke up with me last month."

"Why didn't you tell us Panny?" Goten asked.

"I don't know." Pan said shrugging. She was nearing her seventh week of her pregnancy now and she would have to tell her parents about the baby soon.

"Marissa and I are getting married in October." Jarrod said sitting down in one of the lawn chairs.

"When in October?" Videl asked.

"Halloween." He answered. "She wants to get a couple things taken care of before we say our vows."

"Like what?" Pan asked.

"Well her father left a lot more to her than her cars so she has to sue her stepmonster to get her property. Her sister Anastasia is having home problems and her brother Kyrin is in a metal facility again so she has to get that straightened out."

"I didn't know she had siblings." Gohan said taking a drink of his soda.

"She has two half brothers, a sister, a half sister and three stepsiblings." Jarrod said.

"Too many kids." Videl said shuddering.

"Tell me about it." Marissa said coming out the back door with an orange soda. "My father started having kids at thirteen."

"That's a bit too young." Videl said.

"Well like father like daughter then." Marissa said. "When Milissa kicked me out I had to make a living so I began to do things I'm not proud of and thirty one days before my fifteenth birthday I had a six pound son."

"I don't see you being so careless Marissa." Gohan said.

"I wasn't careless he was a birth control failure baby." Marissa said.

"So if you had him just before you turned fifteen that would make him-" Goten started but Julie cut him off.

"Goten shut up." She said. Pan looked at Marissa in disbelief thinking of all the times she had told her to eat. She knew what she was talking about.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Pan asked.

"I was ashamed Pan." Marissa said. "Not many fifteen year olds I knew had six week old sons."

"Where is he now?" Goten asked.

"Milissa has been taking care of him for me so I can get my life together." Marissa answered. "I have to get him by the sixteenth of May."

"Milissa kicked you out and now she's taking care of your son?" Pan said. "Riss I'm sorry but that is stupid."

"Well I didn't trust my mother and my father's dead so the bitch was my only option."

"Watch your mouth Marissa." Gohan said.

"Sorry Dad." Marissa said.

**Several hours later**

Night had fallen upon the laughter of the Sons and the family and now it was nearing bedtime. Everybody knew that usually when Marissa fell asleep before midnight it was a tiring day. Marissa had curled up on the floor using her jacket as a pillow while Julie was crashed out on the couch and it was only after ten. Pan and Videl were in the kitchen washing the dishes.

"You were a bit quiet tonight Panny." Videl said drying a plate. "What's on your mind?" Pan shut off the water to the sink and sat on the counter by the stove.

"Well, I was just wondering how I should tell you something." Pan said.

"Tell me."

"I'm pregnant. About two months." Pan said.

"Who's the father?"

"Trunks." Pan mumbled inaudibly.

"Excuse me?"

"I said Trunks is the father."

"The father of what?" Gohan's voice came in cracking like a whip. The color in Pan's face drained. "What are you saying Pan?"

"Daddy I want you to sit down." Pan said. Gohan sat down.

"What is going on Pan?" He asked.

"Dad I'm pregnant and Trunks is the father."

"What?!" Gohan yelled. "I'm going to kill the little bastard. Does he know about the baby?"

"Yeah he does but Dad I don't want you to do anything stupid." Pan said. "Please."

"Pan he got you pregnant." Gohan said. "You said that your boyfriend left you."

"You know as well as I do that it takes two to tango." Pan told her father. "Now I better wake the two sleepers up and take them home." Pan got up and kissed her father on the cheek.

"I'm going to tell Vegeta." Gohan said.

"Dad don't do anything stupid." Pan said going into the living room where Marissa and Julie slept.
