While you were sleeping
Chapter 10: Pregnant?
Ryanna sat in her booth bored as usual. Pan sat on the other side doing her job and listening to her CD player. "One token please." A deep voice said and Ryanna looked up to see Bra and a friend.
"Oh my god Bra, what are you doing here?" Bra smiled mischievously and shrugged. Bra and her friend walked through the ticket line and into Ryanna's booth.
"Hey who's this?" Pan asked putting down her headphones.
"I'm Bra and this is Beth." Ryanna nodded and took another coin.
"Bra is my, uh,"
"Ryanna is going to marry my brother Goten." Ryanna turned to the window and her eyes bulged.
"WHAT RYANNA YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?"
"Well uh eh, It's uh not totally announced so it's a little awkward." Ryanna smiled sheepishly then noticed the train pull up.
"Oh train, you better go catch it."
"Okay see-yah, Ryanna."
"Bye Bra and it was nice to meet you Beth." Pan stood up and clung to Ryanna's arm.
"Girl, are you pregnant?"
"Yes Pan I'm pregnant." Ryanna replied somewhat sarcastically. Beth closed the door her eyes wide with shock.
"Girl you are not giving me details."
"Pan, listen you have to have sex in order to be pregnant!"
"I thought you were engaged." Ryanna was at a near loss of words and she tried to form. People at Pan's window began banging on the window in annoyance.
"Well we're waiting." Pan cocked an eyebrow.
"Waiting?"
The Briefs all sat around the TV with snacks and champagne galore. "New years eve hasn't been the same since Guy Lombardo died." Bulma cocked an eyebrow. Her mother always ended up starting the weirdest conversations. Trunks soon joined in the room from upstairs as Bra ran in.
"Hey everyone, guess what I found out." Everyone looked at her in question. "Ryanna's pregnant." Trunks' eyes bulged and he tripped over the last few stairs.
"What do you mean she's pregnant? How do you know?"
"Well Beth over heard her talking to Pan." The family all stood up in shock at the news and began askking question after question. Trunjs pikcked himself up and ignored it all and he grabbed his jacket. Trunks didn't hear the rest as he was on his way towards Ryanna's apartment. Ryanna was tying her shoes when someone knocked on her door.
"Who is it?"
"Joe Junior," Ryanna groaned.
"Not here." Ryanna winced at how lame that was.
"I know that trick." Ryanna rolled her eyes and got up.
"Look my old man has a set of keys."
"That's illegal and you know it Joey." She opened the door and Joey presented her with a flower wreath
. "Aw, there cute Joey."
"I told them to give me the same ones they had in the winter circle."
"They're beautiful, but I can't accept them." Joeys face fell.
"I could move in here. I bet pop will knock fifty bucks off the rent."
Ryanna shook her head. "I've only got six months left to live." Joey pushed the flowers into her hand.
"Yeah you're just saying that to make me feel better. You can take them... or put them on my coffin." Ryanna smiled slightly and hugged Joey.
"Thank- you." Down the stairs Trucks saw them and exited the building. Joey looked down Ryanna's sweater.
"Are you wearing a black bra?" Ryanna slapped him upside the head. "I love black underwear." His face met Ryanna's door.
Trunks mumbled to himself of what he was going to say. Ryanna walked out avoiding joe jr. then spotted him, holding a bottle of champagne in her hands. "Hey Truinks." Trunks turned around trying to act as normal as possible.
"Hey Ryanna."
"What are you doing here?"
"I, uh... You're going to a party." Trunks said noticing the bottle of champagne in her hands.
"Huh? Oh yeah, my friend Pan is throwing a party."
"Here I'll drive you."
"Not you don't have to, it's not that far."
"It's okay I move a lot of heavy things with this truck." He winced at that earning a glare from Ryanna. He ushered Ryanna inside and took off down the road.
"You're acting really weird." Ryanna stated as they reached Pan and Kankton's house.
"So, what about Goten?"
"What about Goten?"
"Goten is going to have a lot to deal with when he wakes up." Pan opened the door and greeted Ryanna and the handsome stranger.
"Hey everybody look Ryanna and her fiancee are here." Trunks' eyes widened and he was about to turn around but was ushered back inside. Kankton went over to Ryanna.
"That's Goten, he looks good."
"That's not Goten that's Trunks."
"Uh, who's Trunks again?"
"Goten's brother." Kankton cocked an eyebrow.
"So Trunks is the fiancee."
"No Goten is."
"Goten doesn't even know you exist."
"I know."
"So Trunks is Goten."
"Uh yeah." Kankton rolled his eyes
"Ryanna,"
"what?
"THEY HAVE DOCTORS FOR THIS KIND OF THING!" Ryanna rolled her eyes and made her way to the refreshment table. She was about to take some punch but Trunks stopped her.
"Ryanna that's spiked."
"Thank god." She took a small sip.
"You shouldn't have any."
"Why not?" She murmured the punch still in her mouth. Trunks flared.
"BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE BABY!" Ryanna spit out her punch as the whole party stared at the two of them.
Trunks chased after Ryanna. "Wait wait! Ryanna I'm sorry. I was just a little confused about that and on top of the Joe Jr. thing."
"What Joe Jr. thing?" Trunks sighed.
"The leaning thing." Ryanna cocked an eyebrow.
"Okay, how did I lean?"
"Leaning is much different from hugging. Hugging involves arms, an leaning is your whole body leaning in and your wanting and accepting" Trunks' body was now very close to Ryanna and his lips were near her until Joe Jr. spoke up.
"Hey Riley! Is this guy bothering you?" Jpey loosened the cuffs of his shirt. Ryanna laughed and shook her head.
"No he's fine."
"Are you sure, cause it looks like he's leaning." Trunks turned to Joey.
"Thank-you. See I told you." Joey shook his hed and walked over to the mingling group.
"Yeah but what about the other thing. Why did you think I was pregnant?"
"Bra said she had heard something." Ryanna gave out a surprised humph.
"AND YOU BELIEVED HER?"
"I didn't have any reason not to."
"Oh Jesus Trunks can you be anymore paranoid?"
"Well excuse me for being concerned about you."
"You know what Trunks, I've had a very lousy Christmas, you just happened to wreck my new year, you know what come back on Easter and you can burn down my apartment." Trunks turned her around and held her shoulder.
"Ryanna wait."She pulled bak from him violently.
"What for?"
"I don't want you to be unhappy."
"And what are you the happiness guru, are you happy? Because I don't see you talking to your mother about your job."
Trunks became angry. "That's none of your business. Don't think you are an expert by staying with them a couple of days with them."
"Spending a lifetime with them hasn't made you one either." Ryanna ran inside and slammed the door. Trunks ran in after her.
"You define happiness for me and I'll give it a wack but tell me something would your fatehr be happy knowing you are here staying in Chicago planning trips that you are not taking." Ryanna's grip on her doorhandle tightened and she brushed back tears.
"No he wouldn't," she hissed in a sob and looked at him. "But you don't have any idea what it's like to be alone and not have anybody." Trunks looked at her sympathetically and he gets to eyelevel and traced her cheek.
"YOu're not alone..." Ryanna closed her eyes at the touch and Trunks leaned in but stopped and pulled back. He paused and murmured. "You have Goten." Ryanna opened her eyes a tear falling and she shook her head.
"I don't have anybody." She stomped inside and sulked on her bed as the new year rang out. "Happy new year." Trunks sighed and ran a hand threw his hair.
"Some happy new year this turned out to be."
At the hospital the few doctors that were working the night shift celebrated. In Goten's room the heart tone monitor beeped and Goten's eyes fluttered opened. he looked at his surroundings and was shocked.
Ooh he's awake! Let's see what happens next chapter. Review me Please!
