Epilogue
5 years later...
"MARRON! You look GORGEOUS!" Marron twirled around in her beautiful white wedding dress as she prepared for the biggest day of her life.
"Thank you for coming all the way down here to my wedding Bra."
"No need to thank me. There's no way I'd miss my brother ACTUALLY getting married especially if it's YOUR wedding!"
"LADIES LADIES! GET READY! WE'RE STARTING IN 5 MINUTES..."
"Mom don't worry we'll be fine." I said as I handed Marron her bouquet of flowers. I was Marron's Maid of Honor.
"Ok I'm going to check on the boys then..." My mom then left to check on everyone else...
"So are you sure you're going to be ok with this?" Marron asked as I stood in front of the mirror fixing my dress making sure everything was in place...
"You and my brother are getting married. WHY wouldn't I be?"
"That's not what I meant." I looked at the reflection of her looking at me... she was serious...
"What?"
"I mean, Trunks best man is Goten. Are you sure you're going to be ok walking down the aisle with him? I mean it's been 5 years since you guys saw each other, or even spoke."
"Don't worry. Today is your day, I won't let even Goten ruin this moment for you. I'll be ok."
"Are you sure?"
"Will you quit worrying about me and worry more about whether Trunks will choke on his vows or not."
"Oh yeah..." We both started laughing. I knew one day I'd see him again and I couldn't avoid it. But that wasn't going to stop me from being happy for my brother and best friend...
5 minutes later...
I walked out of the dressing room with Marron as we were preparing to line up. I was moving forward as I noticed him standing there waiting as he faced forward. His hair was the first thing I spotted. I just smiled silently and walked toward him and linked my hand to his arm as we both looked at each other. I just gave him a sincere smile. Him giving me one back.
"It's good to see you again Bra."
"You too."
We both smiled and I began tracing my eyes on his body seeing how good he looked. It had been too long since I saw him, but one thing I noticed... no ring? I then felt him place his hand on my cheek forcing me to look at him.
"You're still as beautiful to me as you were about 5 years ago."
He slowly leaned down and kissed my forehead. Then he leaned over by my ear...
"I still love you Bra...even to this day."
He pulled away and looked at me. I just smiled, happy that he still loved me. I loved him too, but I still couldn't get passed what had happened so long ago.
"Daddy?"
I looked to Goten's side as a cute little girl with long black hair and dark eyes, dressed in a cute dress holding her basket of flower peddles, began tugging at his pants.
"Yes?"
"Where do I go?"
"Oh, first say hi to your Auntie Bra for me." She looked at me then hid behind her father's pants shyly.
"Karume." It WAS her, Goten's daughter. As much as it hurt to know they had the baby with no problem, I could see how happy Goten looked. It was a part of him... a part that made him seem complete...
"Hey it's ok, I won't bite." I said as I bent down and touched her head. She just hid even more behind her dad.
"Hey, come on out of there." Goten softly said as he picked her up and held her in his arms... Mizummi...sigh...
"Now, say hi to her for daddy please?"
She shook her head and dropped to her father's shoulder.
"Hey now Karume, she's not a meanie. She's really sweet. Say hi to her now."
I began stroking her little arm and saying it was ok. Finally she turned around.
"Hi." She quickly said it with a smile and was quick to turn to her daddy's shoulder again.
"Aww. Thank you." I finally said.
"Karume, there you are Auntie Bulma's looking everywhere for you." Paris came by picking up Karume from Goten's arms and looked at him.
"I have to get home early tonight, so either you can take her with you or I can. Either way, but I have a big day tomorrow morning, is that ok?"
"Sure, depending on how much fun she's having I'll be happy to take her home."
"Ok, thanks baby. I have to take her to her spot now, it's starting. I'll see you out there." She lastly said as she gave him a quick peck on the lips, not even taking notice I was there as she quickly left... I took my place and just got ready.
"So how are you two doing?"
"Um, ok I guess."
"That's good, Karume's really cute, you make a really good father Goten."
"Thanks..."
"OK EVERYONE LET'S GET STARTED!" my mother yelled out to us as we began...
"Bra?" He quitely said as we both walked down the aisle.
"What?"
"Do I really make a good dad?"
"As far as I saw today, yes." I noticed a smile on his face light up...
"I just really wish Mizummi and Tegami knew..."
"So do I..."
We looked at each other and smiled as we took our places on the alter.
The rest of the night was just all fun and laughs. I had a good time, Goten and Karume were hillarious together. My life went on happily... as did his... mine without him... him without me... it hurt both of us, but it was the only thing we could do. I didn't want to be the one who stood in the way of him, Paris and Karume becoming a family... But there was one thing we both never forgot, how much we loved each other...
THE END...
How sad... ;;
