While you were sleeping
Chapter 7: Questions, questions, and more questions
Ryanna looked through the box of Goten's things that the hospital had given her. He looked like a big business man, from all the credit cards, papers, and money he carried with him. She admired the few pictures of him and his family that he carried in his wallet. Good sign that there were no women that she didn't recognize. Of course she couldn't help but remember when she had ACCIDENTALLY bumped into a colleague of his right after leaving the hospital after spending the night. He told her a very disgusting story about their basketball games and apparently . She found a bag and pulled out the contents. In the bag was a can of cat food. Ryanna gawked and leaped off her bed. She walked down stairs and out onto the street covering her face that way Joey wouldn't see her. A few seconds later a red Kia truck pulled up at the apartments. Trunks stepped out and looked at the apartment complex. He saw Joe Jr. and walked up to him. "Excuse me, do you live here?" Joey gave a cocky smile glancing back at the truck then shined a prt of his beat up convertible.
"Live here, I own this joint."
"Oh so you would know the woman who lives in 201?" Joey pulled up his pants.
"Know her, I'm dating her." Trunks cocked an eyebrow at this and cleared his throat. That can't be right. Ryanna was his brother's fiancee. Something was up and he was gonna find out what.
Downtown Ryanna made it into Goten's apartment. The place was more like acondo white and black with steel like bar and kitchen. "Hmm, very clean. Kitty, whistle Kitty, rich Kitty, where are you?" Ryanna walked into the kitchen. Her kitty calling continued as she popped open the can of food. Trunks walked through the back door and listened in interest. He hid a chuckle hearing her childish kitty calls. "Kitty, come on out it's meal time." Ryanna opened the kitchen door making it smack into Trunks' face. Ryanna covered her mouth in shock and reopened the door to see Trunks holding his face. "Oh, oh my god I am so sorry!"
"Nice shot." Ryanna winced at him and opened the freezer to get some ice. She didn't even botehr to question the amounts of baskin robins ice cream he had. "Hey, how did you get in here?" Ryanna dropped the ice then picked it back up.
"Um, eh, key." Trunks took teh ice and palced it to his eye.
"Oh so you come here often."
"Huh? Oh yeah, feed the cat." Trunks paused and pulled the ice away and cocked an eyebrow.
"Goten doesn't have a cat." Meow A gorgeous gray cat peaked its body through the kitchen meowing away. Ryanna couldn't help but aww at the adoarble cat walking in.
"Aw, hello there honey." Ryanna picked it up and looked at its tag. "Fluffy, hello fluffy. Oh you must be so hungry." Trunks grinned at Ryanna as she pets the cat and let it eat. The telephone rang. "
Are you going to get that?"
"Uh, ah no I'm just going to let the machine get it." Trunks rolled his eyes and picked up the phone.
"Hello," Trunks turned around. "It's for you."
Ryanna rana tongue over her teeth and took the phone from him. "Hello." Ryanna nodded. "Okay, thank you, bye-bye." Trunks gave her a 'who was that' look. "That was the hospital, they said it's customary for friends and family to come down and give blood." Trunks shrugged.
"Let's go together." The two walked out into the parking lot and Ryanna gawked at how many cars there were.
"You know what, I think maybe we should take your truck."
"Oh no, we'll take Goten's car. It's much roomier." Ryanna nodded numbly.
"You do know where it's parked don't you?"
"Huh, oh yeah." Ryanna pressed the call button and Goten's black mustang lit up and honked.
"Nice."
"Hmm."
The two got down to the hospital and where now in the process of getting there blood drawn. "We should get a picture for the mantle." Trunks eyed the girl as she squirmed when the needle pierced her skin. He admired the way she held herself with the long sleeved sweaters that covered her hands usually not to mention her nervous habit of playing with the ends and nibbling her finely shaped fingernails. She turned to him when questioned and stuttered.
"Of, of me?"
"No of you and Goten." Ryanna smiled sheepishly.
"I'm um really not that photogenic." Once the blood work was done the nurse gave her a cup.
"Now I want you to sip this or you'll get woozy." Trunks pitched in ignoring the needle in his own arm.
"When did you start seeing Goten?"
"September 17th." she spoke up a lil too fast. She was getting silghtly irritated by his questions.
"Three months, that's fast."
"You have no idea." Ryanna gulped down the rest of her cup and got up. The nurse looked at her disapprovingly
"Miss,"
"I'm fine."
"Wait I'm not finished with you."
"Don't worry I'll get her." Trunks got up and was about to go over to her but he fainted.
In Goten's hospital room, Goten's family sat around him and waited for Ryanna and Trunks to get back from drawing blood. "What the hell has he got a T.V for, he's in a coma for Christ sakes?" Bulma looked at him angrily at his use of language.
"Vegeta, Shh, he might hear you, you know."
"Then get him a radio." Bra looked up from applying her makeup.
"Maybe he'd like us to sing to him." Ryanna and Trunks took this time to walk in.
"Maybe Ryanna knows his favorite song." Ryanna thought for a moment before Bulma answered for her.
"Puff the magic,"
"dragon" Ryanna finished for her. Trunks walked in front of her.
"Which one of the three stooges was Goten's favorite?"
"Uh, eh Curly."
"Curly, hah, eh um, he's everybody's favorite." Ryanna smirked at him.
"Favorite ice cream,"
"Baskin Robins,"
"Favorite food,"
"duh ice cream."
"Favorite baseball team," Ryanna hesitated.
"Chicago,"
"cubs or white socks."
"What the hell is going on here, boy?"
"Trunks why are you asking her all these questions?"
"Don't ask me; ask her boyfriend."
Bulma hit him making him wince. "That isn't very funny you know."
"No not this boyfriend, Joe Fusco." Ryanna bit back a laugh.
"Joe Junior,"
"that's right, Mr. Joe Fusco Jr. He said that you were intimate."
"Yeah well he also said he invented aluminum foil, he's delusional."
"He was very sane when I talked to him." Bunny fiddled with her knitting and whimpered.
"Oh dear oh dear." Bulma looked at her concerned.
"Ma, are you okay?" Vegeta smacked trunsk upside the head.
"You see what you did."
"What did I do?" Bunny sat up a bit
. "Well I was just thinking that if she wanted to prove it, she'd prove it." They all looked to Ryanna making her gulp. She took a deep breath.
"Goten has one testicle." Trunks' eyes went wide, he looked at his brother, then back at Ryanna. "No way."
"Way, about a month ago there was an accident, and they were playing basketball, and his friend and a pencil in his back pocket." Ryanna hid back a giggle at the disgusted looks on Goten's family.
"Well, um somebody has to look." Bra covered her f ace with her pocket mirror
"Don't look at me." Bulma then sighed.
"Fine I'm his mother." Bra ran to the other side of the room.
"Mom, Eww!" Bulma reached under he blankets and her eyes widened.
The family packed themselves into the elevator. Bunny broke the silence. "Well look on the bright side. He has more room in his Jockey shorts." Everyone groaned. "Ma!"
For people who don't know what testicles are...well, um, eh, they're the other thing that men have besides a penis. Okey dokey smokey Review please!
