Big thanks to Asanra and Aerith! Here's chapter 4.

I had no idea what I was doing. I didn't sleep the entire night. I cried. Which kind of surprised me. If I had done something so terribly degrading and awful to Goten, shouldn't he be the one crying?

At eight I slipped out of bed and splashed some cold water on my face. I just love proving what an asshole I am, don't I? And then I heard 'Ten getting up.

I took a deep breath and slapped a fake smile onto my pale face and tried to calm my shaking hands. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

"There's my Marron," he said in his gentle voice. "How was your night? I didn't even hear you get in last night."

I put a shaky hand over the other shaky hand, but it just resulted in one, big, shaky mass form. "I got in kinda late. Let me go start breakfast."

"Wait. You look really pale. Are you sick?"

Was I sick? No. Just completely and utterly terrified. "No, I'm fine. I just didn't sleep very well last night." The understatement of the year. "Come on, let's go get some coffee. I think I just need some caffeine."

He grabbed my arm before I could walk off. "Hey, I didn't get my kiss yet."

"I've got bed breath though," I said quickly. I couldn't kiss him with--- with Trunks still on my mouth. "I'm going to take a quick shower, okay? Could you make me some really really strong coffee?"

He nodded and I gave him a forced smile. "Thanks babe."

I could've told him. I should've told him. It was the perfect chance and I blew it. Who knew when the next perfectly good opportunity would come around. Was I going to have to live with this guilt hanging over me forever? It just wasn't the sort of thing you kinda blurt out nonchalantly. Oh Dende, please help me.

Four o'clock in the freakin' morning, and I have to be sitting here throwing up, I thought as I gripped the toilet harder and braced myself. It was really bad, the fourth morning in a row it had happened.

It was two weeks after my little rendezvous with Trunks. I had tried to tell 'Ten, really I had, it was just too hard. So instead, I was barfing my brains out. How lovely.

"Goten, I don't understand it," I whined. "Why am I so sick?"

He kissed the top of my head. "You know, Mar, Videl was sick like this once. Just once, though."

"What was wrong with her?"

"Well, let's just say nine months later, Pan was born."

My head jerked up and I wiped my mouth. "Are you serious? Do you really think I'm pregnant?"

"You could be. How about we go ask Bulma later? Are you done blowing chunks now?" He grabbed my shaky hand and helped me stand up.

I nodded. "Let's go back to sleep. Then we can find out if your theory is right."

Pregnant. Shit. It was Trunks' baby. It just had to be, I told myself as 'Ten and I crawled back into bed. But then again… There was a chance it was Goten's.

"Dende, you really did it this time," I whispered to the ceiling as 'Ten drifted off into slumber.

"So, what's it look like doc?" Goten asked Bulma as she looked down at her clipboard. We were in one of the lab rooms at Capsule Corp., and of course the two of them were standing nice and pretty while I was laying there in the most unflattering position possible.

Bulma grinned. "You're pregnant!" she shrieked throwing her clipboard up in the air and waving her arms around.

My mouth dropped open and I turned to 'Ten who had the same reaction. I sat up and ran my hand through my hair. "Are-- are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. One hundred percent positive." Then she turned around and started walking away. "I'll leave you two alone."

"I don't believe it," 'Ten started. "I mean, I told you you might be, but I never thought it was actually true." He threw his arms around me. "We're going to have a baby."

I reached up for a kiss. "I know. It's amazing. We're going to be parents. Our little baby is right here." I brought his hand to my stomach.

"I love you Mar."

"I love you too Goten. More than you know."

Thanks a lot Dende.

I'd never seen 'Ten so excited. He was walking on a cloud. He never stopped smiling, no matter what was happening. And one little piece of information could change his whole perspective on life.

Something, though, just felt right. Something felt like this little thing inside of me was Goten's, and everything was going to work out perfectly.

I prayed. I prayed so much. It was just so… hard to have to talk about the baby and not think about how I had let Goten down. I had betrayed him, and if my feeling was wrong, he would know, and never forgive me.

Having to tell him was like one of those movies where the teenage daughter goes out, gets pregnant, and has to tell her parents. Except I think I would rather have been in that girl's situation. Even with my very highly explosive parents.

But my parents were excited, and Goku and Chi-Chi were thrilled. Man, what were they going to think of me. Marron, perfect little Marron, who always obeyed her parents, never got in trouble, and was always totally honest and never told a lie, went out, cheated on her fiancé with her best friend, and got pregnant. Sounded more like a soap opera than a life. Congratulations Ron, you've just advanced to Wow! My life's messed up!

Ick, and I still had to talk to Trunks. That was a conversation I was looking forward to. "Hi Trunks, how's it going? Oh, by the way, I'm pregnant, and it could be yours." Yeah. Sure.
