Well, what can I say? Dinner went well, for the most part, or at least as well as can be expected. I told Pan and Uub separately from Mohan and Videl. We were sitting out side as the sun was going down and we were looking at the stars.

"Do you ever wonder what you'll be when you 'grow up'?" Uub was looking up at the stars and repeated the question that we used to ask each other when we were growing up and doing the same thing.

Pan sighed. " I suppose I'll have a family and a good job." She looked over at me. "What about you, Mazzie?"

I closed my eyes. "I'm gunna give up drugs, have a kid. Maybe finish high school." I paused. "Probably in that order too." I opened my eyes to see my two best friends looking at me with their eyebrows raised.

"We mean soon, Maz." Uub spoke up. "Like after high school. A job, you know?"

Now it was my turn to raise an eyebrow. "Ok, well… let me put it to you this way then. I plan to give up drugs now. Cold turkey and all. Then, in about eight months I plan to give birth to a beautiful baby." It was hard to keep the tears in and so I kept my eyes closed.

Pan and Uub exchanged looks. "Marron, you have to be pregnant for nine months. You would have to be pregnant now for that to…" Realization dawned on Uub as he put two and two together.

I opened my eyes as the tears slid down my cheek. Pan's breath caught in her throat as she stared at me in slight horror. Uub just stared.

"Damien? That son of a bitch! I'm gunna kill that mother-"

"No." I croaked. "Trunks. We…I…We're having a baby." The tears were freely falling now. I hadn't told anyone and I guess it was building up inside of me this whole time.

Pan rushed to my side and began to shush me. Uub looked like he was going to kill someone. I suppose he felt it was his duty since he was like my brother. My big brother… who was strong and likes to fight.

"We obviously had sex… but I wanted to, so don't go to try and threaten him of anything like that."

Pan made me look at her. "Does Day know?" I could see the worry in her eyes.

I shook my head 'no'. "I'm going to see Goten and Trunks tomorrow. I'll probably spend some time out there. Pan, can you pick me up for school tomorrow? Trunks just wants to pick me up from school. Mom won't miss me."

She nodded. Videl walked outside and smiled warmly at our little group. I don't think she knew what was going on, but I was sure she would know soon enough. T

She got close enough to see my tears and a look of concern instantly overtook her features. "Marron, honey, what's wrong?"

I swallowed hard. "Videl, you had Pan when you were really young, right?"

Videl paled and walked closer to me, putting an arm around my neck. "Damien?" She questioned.

I shook my head again. "No." I whispered. "Trunks."

It was a good thing that people who loved me and wouldn't judge me surrounded me or I would have completely broken down. She embraced me and my cries shook my body as I cried onto her shoulder.

Gohan walked outside with a look of equal concern. Pan stood and escorted him back inside; I think she told him, much to my relief.

My cries finally subsided and we managed to eat a wonderful meal quite peacefully outside under the stars. My eyes were still watery and running down my cheeks, but I felt a bit better about telling someone what was going on.

A knock at the door sounded and Gohan walked inside to answer it for whoever might be waiting on the other side.

Videl gave me a reassuring hug. "Does Trunks know?"

"Do I know what?" Trunks walked through the door and smiled awkwardly. He noticed the tear stains on my face and a look of concern overcame his face. "What's going on? Maz, are you ok?"

I couldn't help it. Everyone was looking at him like he had killed a child. It wasn't fair to him, especially since it was a good deal my fault.

He walked over to me and kissed my cheek; oblivious to the dirty looks he was getting for unfair reasons.

"Ok, just for the record, this is NOT by any means, Trunks` fault. It was my fault too."

What we were talking about dawned on Trunks as he realized what I was talking about. He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head; a trait he had acquired from `Ten, no doubt.

He looked at me and forced a small smile. "We need to tell your mom. Mom insists."

It was going to be a long night.
