No More Tears

I don't own DBZ

Oh yeah, and if there's problems with like the medical stuff, I don't know much about that so I'm just guessing.

-=- 2 months later-=-

Bulma had slipped into a coma. The baby was also lost. Vegeta would visit Bulma everyday, even if it was only for an hour. Pan was coming along very well in her training. It was the middle of the afternoon. Pan and Vegeta were training outside, and Trunks was doing homework in his room. The phone started ringing.

"Hello?" Trunks asked.

"Hello, is Vegeta there?" It was the doctor from the hospital.

"Yes, Dr. Little. I'll get him." Trunks ran outside. "Dad, it's the doctor!"

Vegeta grabbed the phone from him. "Is she ok?"

"Um, sir. I'm afraid I have some very bad news. Bulma died several minutes ago."

Vegeta blinked. 'No. she didn't.' "What?" He said, very angry.

"I'm sorry I had to tell you this, but she died. You should come over immediately."

Vegeta hung up the phone and growled. Pan looked up at him. He looked down at Pan. 'I just lost the woman that means more to me then life itself..'

Vegeta looked at Trunks. Trunks knew just by looking at him. "Mom's. Mom's gone, isn't she?"

Vegeta nodded. He picked up Pan. Then he left for the hospital.

About a week later, they held a memorial service. Vegeta did not attend. He claimed he didn't see the purpose in going. Pan stayed with him. Pan had started training in the GR with him about 2 weeks before.

"BRAT! I KNOW YOU'RE BETTER THEN THAT! NOW DO IT AGAIN!" He yelled at Pan, who was working on her ki attacks. She sighed.

'Vegeta's really sad that Bulma died. He's sad like how I was sad when my mommy and daddy died.'

She sighed and did the attack again.

"I EXPECT BETTER FROM YOU, BRAT! DO IT AGAIN!"

She sighed and did the attack again. Vegeta smirked. That usually meant it was ok.

"Ok, brat. I want you to do 200 push ups, 600 sit ups and 200 bike crunches (A/N: It's kinda like you move your legs how you peddle a bike, but it's a crunch as well.) and then we'll eat."

Pan sighed as she started with the push ups. About 30 minutes later, she was done. They left the GR and people were still at the house. Pan spotted her Grandpa and smiled.

"Hiya Grandpa!" Pan said, smiling.

"Hi Panny. I can see you've been training!"

Vegeta walked up behind her. "You have 15 minutes to eat. Then we're training some more."

Pan sighed as he walked away. "I'm having fun with him, Grandpa! We train a lot, and it makes me feel really good!"

Goku sighed. He knew it was good for Pan, and he knew she was happy. He looked at his granddaughter and did the only thing he could. He smiled and patted her on the head.

Pan ran off to a table where the food was. Vegeta was getting a rather large snack, and he grabbed a beer. He saw that Pan needed help getting food. He grabbed a plate and picked some chicken and rice for her. He gave her the plate and walked off to a corner to sit by himself.

'Why'd she have to die? All I ever wanted for her was to be happy.' He sighed as he started drinking his beer. He looked at Pan, who was smiling. She was sitting on Trunks' lap, talking with him and Goten. They were all laughing. 'I know you're just trying to forget it, brat. You're just like me, pushing it all down inside.'

Vegeta looked at the clock. '5 more minutes.' He had finished eating, and had gotten ridden of his dishes. He grabbed another beer. Pan was still with Trunks and Goten, as happy as ever. 'Though I know you're not happy, Pan. You only act like this to make people feel better. They don't have to listen to you cry at night. They don't have to see you mope around, wishing your parents were still alive.'

He sighed. He looked at the clock again. It was time. "Brat! We're training again, NOW!" Pan jumped off of Trunks' lap, and followed Vegeta back into the GR. They stayed in their until after all the guests left.

Pan was really tired, and Vegeta let her go to bed early. He helped her into her pajama's and laid her in her bed. He sat in her room until she fell asleep He walked out, and started thinking. 'I've lost my wife, and my daughter. I never even knew my own daughter. That's it. I know. I'm protecting Pan, because she's all I have left. But, she's not even my family. I don't need her, do I? Yeah. I do need her.' He sighed. 'No one will ever harm her. I'll make sure of that.'

-=- Pan's dream-=-

Pan ran through the house, looking for her mom. She couldn't hear anything, just her little feet running frantically. "MOMMY!" She started crying. "MOMMY, WHERE ARE YOU?!"

"Mommy?" She asked. Her mom was silent. She looked at her mom again, and she wasn't moving. She started poking her mother again, and nothing happened.

"MOMMY! WAKE UP!" She screamed as she started jumping up and down on the bed. She started crying. 'What's wrong with you, Mommy?'

Pan was on her bed, curled up in a ball. Gohan was lying on the ground, a hole in his abdomen, and bleeding everywhere. "GRANDPA! I'm SCARED!!!" She cried and screamed. Goku ran over to Gohan, and looked at him.

--=-end of dream-=-

Pan woke up in tears. That day, the worst day of her life still haunted her. She got out of her bed, and walked out the door. She walked down the hall and saw that the door to Vegeta's room was open and the lights were on. He was laying in the bed, staring at the ceiling.

"What is it, brat?"

"I had the dream again. Can I sleep with you? I'm scared."

"Fine brat, get in bed. You know the drill though. don't let Trunks hear about this."

"Ok." She said, smiling. She crawled into the bed next to him. He put the covers over her and turned out the lights. She quickly fell back asleep. It took Vegeta a while to go to sleep, but eventually he got back into his regular sleep of nightmares.

Ok. Next chapter is gonna be 13 years later. yeah! Had to get the sad part over with. Review please!
