Chapter 10: Se Dice Que Por Cada Hombre Hay Una Como Tú.
He sat imply looking at the TV. Lately he couldn't stop thinking about Pan and about her life. *It's been five years* he thought. *I feel so bad. Bulma made sure I woke up to what I had done. But we're not the only ones that have changed. Kalid has changed too. Or so I hear. I haven't talked to him much. His department at Capsule Corp. has been successful. He's got to be a good worker. Maybe Pan and Kalid deserved our trust. Why couldn't I see this before? Now it's too late.I wander what she's doing right now.*
"Here's your coffee Gohan." Videl said bringing him back to Earth.
"Thanks."
^*^*^*^*^*^
*I can't believe I'm in Japan.* The carousel started spinning and it startled Pan with the noise it made. * Good thing we slept through the flight, other wise, we'd be dying for some sleep right now. I wander if I should go to my house or just go to a hotel...I better hide my power level or they'll find me right away.*
"Mommy, which one is our bag?" Cyan tugged on her shirt to get her attention. Once they got their bags curiosity got the better of Pan. "Are you excited to meet your dad?"
"Yeah." Cyan replied somewhat nervously.
^*^*^*^*^*^
Kalid woke with a start. His brown eyes started wondering about the room *Pan.UGH Gotta go to work. Thank Goodness It's Friday! I don't have to wake up early tomorrow.*
^*^*^*^*^*^
Pan decided to go to a hotel. *I should go to the construction site to see how things are progressing.* Pan got her portfolio out and started searching for the address of the construction site. *Gosh.that's the business district, close to Capsule Corp. I have to face them sooner or later* "Cyan, come get changed." She said as she picked an outfit for him.
^*^*^*^*^*^
*HMM I wander what they're building there.* He said as he walked by THE construction site, then he took a sip of coffee. Then he saw a small banner -Future Site of S.P. Financial- *S.P. Financial eh? Cool. Maybe I could use it.*
^*^*^*^*^*^
*This is taking too long* Pan thought when she was waiting for an approval for her to rent a car. "Here you go Miss.Son." The rental guy said as he looked at her card. "Thank You." Pan said coolly. After having some breakfast, Pan and Cyan headed for the construction site. *What kind of district is this anyway, where you can't find parking space? They should build a lot.* She said frustrated. "Where are we going mom?" Cyan said looking out the window. *I think too much.* "To a construction site. Are you excited?" "Yeah."
It was nine thirty by the time Pan found parking space. *I'm half an hour late Geez. I don't want to interrupt their work.* She had to park more than two blocks from the construction site. "C'mon Cyan, we're late already." Pan tried to hasten the walk but Cyan was definitely able to keep up being a super-strong creature and all.
^*^*^*^*^*
Kalid was looking out the window and something below caught his eyes. *WOW* he thought. This girl was VERY good looking, *she looks familiar.somehow* he tried to pay attention to her face, but he was too far to see every detail of her. She was wearing crimson wide legged pants that snuggly fit her upper thighs and hips with a matching slim fit jacket. Under the jacket, she wore a button up black shirt accentuating her creamy skin. She had let her hair grow to the middle of her back and fell in jet black straight tresses. *She really reminds me of Pan. But what would Pan be doing in Japan? She hates us all.* Kalid thought sadly. *Besides, looks like the kid is hers. Cute kid, he reminds me of myself as a kid.They're walking awfully fast.*
^*^*^*^*^*
Once in his office Trunks turned the TV on and flipped it to the business news channel. "In recent news, S.P. Financial has started building franchises around the world. The first one: Japan. This is a big step for the American company. S.P. Financial's president Pan Son, who is Japanese, will spend some time in Japan overlooking the building and organization of her first franchise." Trunks heard the news anchor speak. *S.P. Financial. S.P. stands for Son Pan. It's her! It's really her. That means we'll be seeing her soon!* Trunks thought joyously.
^*^*^*^*^*^*
A few minutes later, Pan was hearing reports about the progress of the building. Cyan in the other hand was bored out of his mind and was playing with the coffee cups he found behind him. In an attempt to give her a tour, everyone stepped out of the small trailer and showed her around explaining why they were using the material they were. ".And we know what the exterior is going to look like, but not the interior Miss Son." The architect said. "That's ok, we'll worry about it when we need to." Replied Pan.
Pan decided to go get back to her hotel and get a bit of rest. Instead Ian, her assistant and very good friend kept on calling her with a couple of urgent cases she needed to resolve. She finally agreed to work on them and finished them quickly to get some rest.
About an hour later she woke up thinking how annoying it was to work in a hotel room. *Nobody bugs you here. It's kind of lonely.* She looked at the clock and it read 5:30 pm. *It's still early and I got nothing to do.What if.?* A smile grew on her face. "Cyan, honey, wake up. We're going to see your grandparents."
^*^*^*^*^*^
It was definitely a silent Friday night. Gohan and Videl had just finished dinner when they a vehicle coming closer to their home. "I wonder who that is." Said Videl picking up the plates. Gohan picked up a book and started reading. Videl took a detour to the kitchen to see who came to pay them a visit.
Gohan's head shot up when he heard plates shatter, and then he too went to the window when he heard Videl say "Oh my god." He couldn't believe his eyes as he too muttered "Oh my god. Pan." They both ran out the door and Pan greeted them with a smile. For a moment Gohan and Videl were a little disappointed that instead of going to greet them she went to open the back door of the car. That is until they saw what.rather who came out of the car.
"Mom! Dad!" Pan said as she lunged towards her parents with Cyan in hand. "I missed you so much." Pan pulled away and looked down. "Cyan these are your grandparents Gohan and Videl. Say hello." "Hello" Said Cyan as he too hugged them. Videl and Gohan sat dumbfounded trying to register what had just happened.
^*^*^*^*^
Once inside Videl brought out some snacks for everyone. "Wow Pan, I can't believe this. You have a son-"
"I'm sorry Pan" Gohan grabbed Pan's hands. "I'm sorry for kicking you out, it was way out of hand. I didn't know it would drive you to marry someone else. I wish you would have told us-"
"Dad, dad, I'm not married. Cyan's father is here. Cyan's father is Kalid."
Videl took a seat beside Gohan. *Maybe it's not too late* He thought happily. "So Cyan, how old are you?"
"Four" He said bringing up four of his fingers. "But you're almost going to be five; right Cyan?" Gohan looked confused *He should be four* "That's part of the reason we're here. I'll explain everything dad."
"So what are you up to? I want to hear everything." Videl chirped. "It's a long story." Pan said "But we've got time. I mean if it's ok that I stay here. I could go to a hotel if I'm an inconvenience." "No Pan! This is your house; you can stay here as long as you want."
"Thanks. Well.where should I start?.after what happened here I didn't know where to go so I went to the look out and Dende let me say there. After a month I found out I was pregnant, so I spent a year in the room of spirit and time so I didn't have to interrupt school or work. Then Cyan and I moved to LA, I got my GED and started going to UCLA. Then I met this lady Maggie and we became really good friends. A couple of years later she died of cancer, and left all her money to me, money that I didn't know she had. It was a million dollars! That money was a blessing because I had a lot of expenses for both Cyan and I. Then I finished school and with that money I started my own finance company. With time it became the huge company that it is today. Then the board of executives and I decided to build franchises and we're building our first one here. They're building it really fast! That is one reason I came. Also, for his birthday, Cyan wants to meet his dad. And of course I missed everyone and thought it was time I saw everyone again to have some resolution in my life."
"Wow, I can't believe all that you went through." Said Videl
"Well, it wasn't completely bad; I probably wouldn't be living out my dream if I would have stayed here. So in a way my success is your fault." She chuckled trying to get parents comfortable. "So how about you guys, what's been going on?"
"Well," started Videl. "Nothing new. Except that your dad is speaking to Trunks and Kalid now. Right Gohan?"
"Yeah, sometimes we all train together. Just to vent out a little. Except for Vegeta, man, it's his full time job to train. I know we were supposed to train this week but I don't remember what day. They'll show up here anyway, because it's far from the city......"
For a few more hours they talked about everything else that was new in each of their lives. By the time they realized it, Cyan was already asleep; his head was on Pan's lap. "He sure does look like Kalid." Videl said. "I know." Pan replied looking lovingly at her son caressing his curly black hair. "When are you going to tell him?" Gohan dared to ask.
"Soon I hope."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
The door opened just when Gohan stepped down to get some water. "You gotta start knocking Goten. What if you find something you don't want to see-"
"Wait." Goten whispered. "Is that." He said pointing upstairs. Gohan nodded. In a flash Goten found himself outside Pan's room. "I'm good Goten, how about yourself?" Gohan said sarcastically.
"Talking to yourself again?" Vegeta said as he stepped through the open door. Kalid and Trunks trailed behind him.
"HeHe" Gohan laughed nervously.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Vegeta asked annoyed when he looked at everyone settling in the living room. "Goten" Trunks said imply. "What's he doing anyway? What did he eat this time?" "You'll see." Said Gohan obviously hiding something.
^*^*^*^*^*^
"Pan-chan.Pan-chan." Goten entered the room. As he turned to close the door Pan sat up. "Uncle Goten" she whispered. "How are you?" he asked. "I'm really good. How have you been?" She still whispered.
"Why are you still whispering?" He found himself whispering also.
Pan uncovered the little bundle that sat beside her. Goten's eyes popped out of their socket and his jaw dropped. "Wha-who is that?" He said out of breath. He couldn't stop staring at the little kid. "He's my son. C'mon, let's go downstairs, I still have to greet everyone."
Then Goten looked at Pan. Now she seemed a lot wiser. *I guess it's because she's a.mommy!* he though. "Go on ahead Goten, I'm getting Mom".
Everyone looked up when they heard someone coming down the stairs. Goten had a priceless look on his face and they only figured out why a few moments later when they saw Videl then Pan enter the living room. "Sorry you have to see me like this." Said Pan.
"I'm calling Bulma and Bra." Videl chirped heading for the kitchen.
"You've trained brat." Vegeta finally spoke. "Yeah." Pan said nervously scratching the back of her head.
"Are you guys just going to sit there?" Pan smiled looking at Trunks and Kalid.
"Hey." Pan's smile fell. Kalid couldn't explain why he was cold to Pan.
"Good to see you." Trunks got up to hug Pan. Pan hugged Trunks and glanced at Kalid also wandering why he was cold to her. "It's good to see you too Trunks."
Trunks pulled away and took his seat back on the couch. There was an eerie silence in the house which only made Pan more nervous, until Pan spoke. "If you'll excuse me, I need to see Kalid.alone." She emphasized the alone and looked at Kalid. Everyone looked at Kalid encouraging him to go with Pan. He rolled his eyes and followed Pan upstairs.
^*^*^*^*^*^
"Why did you leave?" He asked.
"Hello! You slept with Marron, and my dad kicked me out."
"But you didn't have to leave Japan. We could have worked it out."
"As I recall I didn't sleep with anyone else!.I couldn't face all of you anyway, not after being humiliated like that. I guess I ran away, but I didn't have a choice." Pan looked down. "Besides, you're a fine one to say that we could have worked it out." Tears filled her eyes. But she wouldn't let them fall. She looked back up at Kalid "If you didn't want to be with me, then that's all you had to say. You didn't have to lie to me.But it doesn't matter anymore. Guessing by your attitude you want nothing to do with me, I guess it's what you wanted from the beginning." Pan's eyes filled with tears again. *But I can't help it, I love you as much as I ever did.* she finished in her mind.
*Damn! Why can't I be nice?.damn pride.* he thought. "I've got something to show you." Pan interrupted his thoughts and signaled him to follow her.
Kalid saw the very familiar room didn't change one bit. He did think the bundle on the bed was strange. He stood waiting for Pan to speak to him. "I just want you to know that I'm doing this for Cyan, not for me." He didn't really understand what she said until he spotted the red suit on a chair beside the bed. "Cyan honey, wake up." Then it hit him. *The girl I saw was Pan? Then.could that be?...*
Kalid's mind came back and he saw Cyan sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes. Pan waved at Kalid signaling for him to sit on the bed by them. Cyan looked confused at the guy then at his mom. "Cyan, this is Kalid. Kalid, this is your son." Pan said smiling at Cyan waiting for a reaction from either of them. Kalid's head was in overdrive.
"Are you my dad for real?" Cyan asked hoping he finally met his father.
Kalid looked at Pan then at Cyan. He couldn't help it but to smile. *He looks adorable, just like his mother.* "Yes I am." Again Kalid looked at Pan earning that smile he missed so much. Immediately Cyan tackled Kalid in a hug. "Hey! You're a strong one!" *Again, just like his mom.* he laughed.
^*^*^*^*^*^
A few minutes later:
"Cyan why don't you head downstairs, we'll be right down." Kalid said.
Pan looked at Kalid confused. *She looks so sexy in the morning* he thought.
"You could have told me."
"I remind you that I was really scared. And I'm a proud person I wasn't going to let it beat me. Besides, I didn't know until one month later."
"Just because I like the kid doesn't mean I'll treat you the-"
"I know you didn't really want to see me. You don't have to shout it to everyone. All I ask is.don't break his heart like you broke mine." Pan turned away. "He doesn't deserve it." She looked back at him sadly "He really wanted to meet you."
^*^*^*^*^*^
Cyan stepped in the living room and went to hug Gohan right away.
"And who are you little guy?" Trunks asked.
"He's my grandson." Gohan said smiling goofily, scratching the back of his head.
"What!?!" Vegeta and Trunks shouted in unison.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
So what did you guys think? This is a really happy chapter and for that I'm happy. I hope you guys liked this chapter.
Aquaprincess1/Gina: my name is Pam ^_^, as for your second question, I know the answer, but I won't tell. MWAHAHAHAHA! I'm really not that evil, I just don't want to give it away.
Ssj4 Yuffie: My mom's friend's name is also Kalid; I didn't know that about that name, that's pretty cool. And I got a funny story for you: My brother's name is Habbib. My mom got it from the bible and changed some of the letters. And one of my brother's classmates (who is Asian) said that Habbib meant 'happy boy.' My brother and I thought it was funny because my brother is always happy and most of the time very silly and funny, he's definitely a 'Habbib.'
And yes, I named Cyan after that guy in FF6. When I thought of the name I really liked Ian, but I didn't want the name to be too common, seeing that all the names in DBZ are weird, then I thought of Cyan because it kind of sounds like Ian, and I really liked Cyan for the baby so I went with it.
Gina brought up a point. If you guys want to know more about me check out my profile, I got a nice and long bio if you're interested. ^_^
I don't really have much else to say today, except that I wuv y'all!!!!
Till next chapter,
Chica de las estrellas ^_^
Last chapter's translation is: 'I'm a coin in the fountain, you my pending wish.'

"I just want you to know that I'm doing this for Cyan, not for me." He didn't really understand what she said until he spotted the red suit on a chair beside the bed. "Cyan honey, wake up." Then it hit him. *The girl I saw was Pan? Then.could that be?...*
Kalid's mind came back and he saw Cyan sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes. Pan waved at Kalid signaling for him to sit on the bed by them. Cyan looked confused at the guy then at his mom. "Cyan, this is Kalid. Kalid, this is your son." Pan said smiling at Cyan waiting for a reaction from either of them. Kalid's head was in overdrive.
"Are you my dad for real?" Cyan asked hoping he finally met his father.
Kalid looked at Pan then at Cyan. He couldn't help it but to smile. *He looks adorable, just like his mother.* "Yes I am." Again Kalid looked at Pan earning that smile he missed so much. Immediately Cyan tackled Kalid in a hug. "Hey! You're a strong one!" *Again, just like his mom.* he laughed.
^*^*^*^*^*^
A few minutes later:
"Cyan why don't you head downstairs, we'll be right down." Kalid said.
Pan looked at Kalid confused. *She looks so sexy in the morning* he thought.
"You could have told me."
"I remind you that I was really scared. And I'm a proud person I wasn't going to let it beat me. Besides, I didn't know until one month later."
"Just because I like the kid doesn't mean I'll treat you the-"
"I know you didn't really want to see me. You don't have to shout it to everyone. All I ask is.don't break his heart like you broke mine." Pan turned away. "He doesn't deserve it." She looked back at him sadly "He really wanted to meet you."
^*^*^*^*^*^
Cyan stepped in the living room and went to hug Gohan right away.
"And who are you little guy?" Trunks asked.
"He's my grandson." Gohan said smiling goofily, scratching the back of his head.
"What!?!" Vegeta and Trunks shouted in unison.

So what did you guys think? This is a really happy chapter and for that I'm happy. I hope you guys liked this chapter.
Aquaprincess1/Gina: my name is Pam ^_^, as for your second question, I know the answer, but I won't tell. MWAHAHAHAHA! I'm really not that evil, I just don't want to give it away.
Ssj4 Yuffie: My mom's friend's name is also Kalid; I didn't know that about that name, that's pretty cool. And I got a funny story for you: My brother's name is Habbib. My mom got it from the bible and changed some of the letters. And one of my brother's classmates (who is Asian) said that Habbib meant 'happy boy.' My brother and I thought it was funny because my brother is always happy and most of the time very silly and funny, he's definitely a 'Habbib.'
And yes, I named Cyan after that guy in FF6. When I thought of the name I really liked Ian, but I didn't want the name to be too common, seeing that all the names in DBZ are weird, then I thought of Cyan because it kind of sounds like Ian, and I really liked Cyan for the baby so I went with it.
Gina brought up a point. If you guys want to know more about me check out my profile, I got a nice and long bio if you're interested. ^_^
I don't really have much else to say today, except that I wuv y'all!!!!
Till next chapter,
Chica de las estrellas ^_^
