So how about that last chapter? I bet you people are not even going to read this, you're just going to skim through right past this.

"Why wouldn't they?" Goten asks.

Well, good! Skip this part. Just start reading, I'll put the important stuff at the end of the chapter!

In The Time Of The Cherry Blossoms

Chapter Six From Friendship To Love Part Two

I stared at him, had he really asked me to marry him? I held him in suspense still trying to recover from the shock. When I snapped out of it, I smiled and hugged him.

"Yes. Of course I'll marry you!"

"You will? No kidding?" he asked surprised.

I nodded and kissed him. I couldn't have been happier.

Just then the door tried to be open.

"Hey, who's blocking the door?" Bra was heard saying.

Trunks and I moved away so that she could enter.

"Oops. Sorry about that." Trunks blushed.

Bra gave us a suspicious look. "What are you two doing here... alone... together...hm?"

"Uh nothing! Just taking a little breather is all." I laughed nervously.

"Yep. Nothing going on, just relaxing, Heh, heh..." Trunks scratched his head.

Bra didn't reply and looked us over.

"Well, we're all about to eat some cake. Knowing our families, it's first come, first serve. So come on." she went out the door.

Trunks and I sighed out of relief.

"Should we tell her?" I asked.

"Not yet." he embraced me. "I don't feel like sharing you."

After a long passionate kiss, we went out the door to enjoy the cake and the rest of the ceremony. It was a wonderful night for love.

Later that night, after the newly weds and guests left, I headed back to my townhouse along with Trunks, whom wanted to make sure I'd get home okay, and stayed the night.

That morning when I awoke next to him, naked under the sheets, I smiled. He was perfect. I was glad to finally be with him. I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life as his new wife.

He stirred and slowly opened his eyes.

I laughed a little. "Good morning."

He smiled and yawned. "Good morning."

"Tired?"

"Not anymore..." he pulled me into his arms, gently kissing my fore head. "You were great last night."

I nearly blushed. "Ditto." I replied.

He sat up and put on his boxers.

I put on a robe and went into the kitchen to make some coffee. As I started the machine up, I felt his warm hands around my hips.

"Trunks." I said slightly embarrassed.

"I don't plan on letting you go." he said amusingly into my ear.

I laughed. "You're going to have to if you want breakfast."

I heard his stomach growl and laughed some more.

He let go and kissed me on the cheek. "I better call home and tell them I stayed the night. They're probably worried."

"Alright."

"Pan?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

I smiled and kissed him. "I love you too."

So as you can tell, my life seemed like it was going to be okay. I was going to marry Trunks and live a wonderful life... That was the plan anyway.

I looked over a magazine trying to find the perfect wedding dress. Bra was by my side looking at bridesmaid's dresses. It had been one month after Trunks proposal. Bra was the only one, with the exception of Uub, that knew of our soon to be marriage.

We were at the doctor's office in the waiting room. I had been feeling nauseated lately and was throwing up. The weird thing was, I didn't have a temperature.

"Look Pan!" Bra exclaimed pointing to an elegant blue spaghetti strap, knee length dress.

"Ooh. That IS nice. How much?" I looked at the article.

"Uh.... fifteen hundred... each." Bra smiled sheepishly.

I turned the page. "Keep looking."

"Heh."

"Son, Pan?" a nurse came out.

"Right here." I said standing up.

She smiled. "The doctor will see you now."

Bra and I went inside the small office of Dr.Connor and sat across from him.

He smiled at us and we exchanged a few greetings of hello.

He looked in a folder, closed it, and put his folded hands on the table looking at me with a happy face.

"Well, we've found the problem to you being nauseated all the time Ms. Son."

"Is it bad?"

"Bad? Ha! Highly doubtful. It's actually great. Ms. Son, your pregnant."

I looked at him skeptical. "I'm sorry, what? It sounded like you said I was pregnant." I laughed.

"I did. Congratulations Ms. Son. You're going to have a little bundle of joy."

I must've looked shocked because Bra started to laugh.

She hugged me. "Don't look so grim! Be happy! You and Trunks are having a baby! Congratulations Pan Chan!"

I slowly began to smile and tears of happiness came to my eyes. "You're sure? I'm preg- I'm going to-"

He nodded and handed me the folder. "It's very common for women to be throwing up and feel dizzy. At first, we thought it was a minor flu but you had no temperature, so we ran a few more tests and found out you were pregnant."

"Wow... I don't know what to say... Wow!" I laughed. "Can you believe it Bra?! I'm going to be a mother!"

Bra hugged me again. "I can't wait!"

"We'll make an appointment for you to see Dr. Chang next week. He specializes in first time birth mothers."

I nodded, still smiling. "Yes. Of course. Bra, I'm going to be a mother!"

"I'm going to be an aunt!"

We squealed with more excitement for a few more moments.

After Bra made sure I was ok and dropped me off at my house, and I sworn her to secrecy, I flopped on the bed, my back to the mattress as I looked up at the ceiling.

Me, pregnant? How did this happen? I mean, I was happy and all but, did I really want to bring an innocent child into this hectic world? It didn't seem fair.

I put a hand to my stomach.

*To think, in nine months I would be a mother.* I laughed. *A mother risking her life in a mutiny.*

I almost gasped. *Risking two lives.*

I sighed. How was I going to tell Trunks? And my schoolwork? How was I suppose to balance a baby with my school duties?

School and planning a retaliation was one thing but schoolwork, being in a rebellion AND having a baby? That was a little much.

*Though I don't think Trunks would let me stay in the rebellion until the baby is born.* I thought.

I groaned. How could we afford this? All of our money up to this point had been going towards the rebellion for medical and weapon supply and most of my money was going to my home.

Sure, Bulma would give us money but knowing Trunks, his pride wouldn't let him take it. I guess he got that from Vegeta. Then again, I wouldn't want to accept it either. It looked like I was going to have to get another job.

*Wait... Another job? How am I suppose to manage that?*

I groaned again and smacked my head. *And the wedding! How are we going to do that?* I remembered that dress Bra had shown me. *How am I going to explain this? Now we have to save money for a baby and a wedding and my home and the rebellion!*

I sighed deeply. I sat up and put looked at my stomach, my hand still resting on the spot.

"Don't worry. Your mommy will find a way through this." I smiled. "It'll be worth it."

It was too. I think back and have no regrets, as my mother had said. I miss my children. I just hope they know how much their mother and father loves them. There I go, I'm crying again. I'm sorry... it's just, I don't know if I'll ever see them again and knowing that fact, hurts. Hurts so much only a mother would know...

Trunks and I sat by the banks of the river. His arm was around me as I laid my head on his shoulder. I smiled to myself.

He still didn't know.

I looked at him and he looked back, smiling.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

"Nope."

It had been two days since I found out the happy news of our new arrival. No one but Bra knew, as of yet, but I suspected she told Uub.

I stood up and dusted myself off. I began to walk along the banks. Trunks soon followed.

I stop suddenly and looked around.

"Pan?" he asked. "You okay?"

I nodded. "Couldn't be better."

He smiled and pulled me into his warm embrace, kissing me softly on the lips.

I smiled at him as the cool wind blew, blowing the trees around us, making them dance like a silent ballet.

I looked around and sighed at peace. If only the world could be this way...

The cherry blossoms fell around us while dragon flies and the rivers' ripples grew bigger and bigger...

I watched in wonder as a small child would, and felt at peace. I felt Trunks watching me and decided this would be the right time to tell him.

"Trunks?"

"Hm?"

I looked at him. "I love you."

He smiled and held me again. "I love you too." He kissed my forehead.

"I have something to tell you."

"Oh?"

I smiled and nodded. I pulled away from him and watched the river again. I saw a fallen cherry blossom and picked it up as gently as I could. I looked at its delicate design and wondered if I was that delicate.

"I love this season, in this time." I said softly.

"What time?" he walked up besides me and watched.

I sat on my knees near the river and placed the cherry blossom above the water and put it down. We both watched it begin to sail away.

I smiled, still watching the cherry blossom flow away. "In the time of the cherry blossoms."

We were silent again.

"Trunks, I went to the doctors the other day. You know I haven't been feeling well."

"What'd he say?" He looked concerned.

"Well," I looked at him. "He said that I'm pregnant."

He looked at me shocked, then surprised. His face soon turned to joy as he picked me up and twirled around, holding me in his arms.

"You're serious? Your- we're going to have a baby?!" he almost cheered.

I laughed. "Yes! Isn't it great?"

He stopped and kissed me deeply.

I returned the gesture.

"I love you so much." he said.

"I love you too."

His smile turned to a frown. "But Pan, what about the rebellion? And the wedding. And the-"

I put my finger to his mouth to shush him. "Do not worry about that now. We'll figure out something."

He seemed skeptical. "But how are we suppose to-"

I kissed him.

"We'll figure it out." I repeated.

As we stood there, staring into each other's eyes, the world seemed to stop. It was if it would remain in this peaceful moment forever. I wouldn't have mind. It was perfect.

I wouldn't have traded that moment for the world. I will cherish all of our memories together. Fate is a funny thing though. It gives and takes away. It makes me wonder what else it will take away from me; it's already taken so much. Maybe, that's the way life is. Maybe you can only have so many things that it decides for you that you may have too much, so takes it away just as you get it. Doesn't seem fair does it? Why would it give you something only to take it away the next second? Maybe fate is one big joker who enjoys making life the way it is. Maybe... Well, maybe I should stop saying maybe...

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

There you go! One happy chapter just so you can all see it's not a very very very very very very very very very, sad fic, kind of. Sorry it's short too. But as you all must know, all good things must end. So the next chapter won't be so happy.

"No kidding." Goten says.

If you hate Frieza, you're about to hate him more at the end of the next chapter. It's like, 'Oh no he didn't! That stupid mother *CENSORED*!', *cough* or something close to that. Also, I'm a little hurt. Only two new reviews? From the same people? I only have two dedicated fans? *cries*

"Here ya go." Goten hands author person a tissue.

Thanks. *blows nose* Thank you to those who reviewed the last chapter. I appreciate it. At least you guys support me. *snaps fingers* Goten!

"Right!" Goten gives bmrdbgt and gracyneecap two cookies each. "And there's more where that came from."

Indeed. Sorry gracyneecap too. I'll try to update Friday so you can read since your grounded. What'd you do anyways?

"She robbed a bank. I saw her." Goten nods.

Cool! Well, until I feel happy again, I will not update until next Friday. That is, unless I get a few good reviews.

"Review! For the love of Dende! She takes out her anger on me!" Goten cries.

Silence! You know damn well I kick Duo's butt too when my G-Wing Fics don't do as well.

"Help!"

Review please. ^.^
