Chapter 2: Father son communications
*********************************
"Liz? Where are you?" Pan was playing hide-and-seek with her daughter, who was an excellent hider, because she got really bored. -Deryk should be getting back soon. I hope he's okay!- she thought.
"Lizzie! I give up!" she yelled, but when seh didn't hear her daughter, she got worried.
She walked out the front door and saw her son run away towards an area where she saw a wisp of lavender hair.
"Lizzie!!" she ran over to where her son was and noticed her daughter was unconscious.
"Mommy? Is she gonna be okay?" Daryk asked her.
"I don't know." a tear escaped her eye.
"What happened?" a voice behind her asked.
"I don't know Trunks, she's unconcious." tears were flowing freely now. There weren't many things that could get her to cry, but when it came to her kids, she would give her life for theirs.
"Let's get her inside." he said while helping her to her feet.
Pan kept her lavender haired princess held close to her chest. "Deryk, go get the special capsules out of mommy's suitcase."
"Ok!" he ran into the other room and within seconds came back with two capsules. "Here Momma."
"Thank you." she opened the capsules to reveal a regen tank that was very small, and she put Elizabeth in it and set the timer.
Trunks walked her over to the couch along with Deryk who looked generally worried.
"Pan, what happened?" Trunks asked while taking her hand and recieving a scowl from Deryk.
"I....I don't know, we were playing hide-and-seek, and I couldn't find her, so I went outside and she was just laying on the ground." she was exhausted. "I.....I think m...my energy is g..gi...giving......." she suddenly passed out.
"Pan?" Trunks picked her up and carried her to her bedroom and left her on the bed. Then he went and checked on Elizabeth. He sat down beside the tank and just stared at her. -so this is my little girl? How am I going to tell Marron?- he thought until he was brought out of his thought by the little boy staring at him with his trademark scowl.
"Why haven't I ever heard from you anywayz?" Deryk asked him. "Where hae you been?"
Trunks sighed. "I never even heard of you two. The only reason I know you guys are mine is because she has my bery rare hair color, and you have my eyes. Your mother probably didn't mention me because we just had a fling."
Deryk smirked. "So you and my mom had a one-night stand?"
"You know a lot for a four year old." he smirked right back.
"I'm 5 and a half you baka." he scowled again at his dolt of a father.
"Don't call me that! I'm your dad!"
"You're not my dad! I've only known you for two hours. The only thing you are to me is an inconveniece. So don't try to rekindle you love with my mother!" his hair began flashing gold, and his eyes began to flicker, but he never fully transformed. But he was damn close!
Trunks stared at the little boy in amazement. He then looked away and clenched his teeth. "Whatever you think I'm going to do, you're wrong. I have a fiance and all I wanted is to get to know you. I care for your mother and no matter what you say, I always will."
It was Deryk's turn to look shocked. "Sorry. I'm really protective of my mom. I just don't want her heart broken again."
"What do you mean again?"
Deryk sighed. "After me and Lizzie turned three, she fell in love with a guy name Ryan. They were engaged." he said the guys name with disgust.
"Then what happened?"
"I found him cheating on my mom and told him to call it off or I would kill him." he smirked. "I really wish I could've killed him, I mean, damn, my mom hasn't gone on a date since."
"So has she ever said anything about me?" Trunks asked the Vegeta- like boy.
"Well, not you in particular, just our father. She never gave description either. But I just put two and two together, and well.....you are exactly how I thought you would be."
"I am really?"
"Did you ever really love my mom?" Deryk asked suddenly, catching Trunks off guard. "Because she said you never did and you just had a fling."
"To tell you truth, yeah I did love you mother. Not in a brotherly way either. I just never got a chance to tell her." -why am I opening up like this?-
"Well, you just did." Deryk's scowl had returned.
"What do you mean?"
"Mom's standing over there." he pointed to a dark corner without even looking. "She's been over there for a while."
"How do you know?" Trunks asked, he didn't sense her ki or see her.
"I'm her kid, I know all her tricks." he said with a shrug. "Mom! If you want something to eat, walk through here normally and stop freaking this guy out."
"You are so annoying sometimes little brat." came Pan's voice. She appeared in front of the kitchen door. "You want anything Deryk?"
"No thanks mom." he turned his attention back to Trunks. "So, who's your fiance?"
"Marron. Why?"
"Just wonderin. So when did you start dating her?"
"About two years ago. We had a few problems, but we worked them out and now we're engaged." he said with a sigh.
"Is that really what you want? I mean, you're acting like my mom when Ryan left her."
"Yeah well....it's very confusing."
"Tryin to get everything to go back to normal since she cheated on you huh?" Deryk leaned back to rest in an upright position on his hands.
"How did you know?" Trunks' eyes were wide.
Deryk lifted a finger and tapped his head.
Trunks just looked at him confused.
"Don't tell me you didn't know." Pan said while walking up to her son."He can read minds. Coniving little brat." she ruffled her fingers through Deryk's hair. He just scowled at her.
"Well, I know he comes from you side of the family." Pan said with a laugh. "He's got your's and Vegeta's attitude problem."
"Hey!! Shut up!" he said while laughing. "You've got a bit of an attitude problem too, if I remember correctly."
She threw a pillow and hit him on the head. "You're still weak!"
The timer went off on the regen tank and Elizabeth opened her eyes. The liquid drained out of the tank and Pan ran over to open it.
"Lizzie what happened?"
