"Trunks are you ok?" Pan had a death grip on his shoulder trying to keep him standing up. He placed his hand over hers and wobbled a little more. Once again they were standing outside of his home waiting to see his mother. He looked at Pan and gave a weak smile needing her to smile at him. Pan stared at him then helped him lean back against the doorframe.
"Just give me a minute." Pan nodded and smiled at him causing that feeling to come back to him…hope and love. Shaking his head Trunks composed himself and stood straight up again with help from Pan.
"You ready?" Trunks gave a slight nod and Pan opened the front door grabbing his hand knowing he needed her support. The house was quiet and glancing in the living room Pan saw all kinds of paper work and books covering most of the area. She looked back to Trunks who was watching his feet move mechanically. Walking up the stairs they past Trunks's room and Pan felt him pause a little before letting her guide him to his parent's room. Stopping outside of Trunks's parents room Pan heard Vegeta's voice in a hushed whisper.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't be more for you. You deserved so much better than me. I held you back I know I did. I will never understand why you chose me. But you will never know how grateful I am that I had someone like you to love me. I never had that until you." Pan's eyes gathered tears as she listened to Vegeta's words. She waited little longer for Bulma to say something. After several seconds of nothing she decided not to pry any further and knocked on the door.
"Enter." Pan felt Trunks hand tighten hers before she pushed open the door at Vegeta's command. Stepping in the room Pan saw Vegeta sitting with his back against the headboard beside Bulma who was sleeping peacefully on the large bed. Trunks stood behind Pan unsure of what to do or say.
"Should we come back later?" Pan pointed to Bulma sleeping figure and Vegeta shook his head and motioned for them to take a seat. Pulling Trunks to the edge of the bed they sat down both staring at Bulma in silence. Trunks watched as Bulma's brow started to crease and her hand that was placed on the stomach tighten. Glancing to his father Trunks watched his fathers head fall while taking Bulma's other hand in his own.
"Is she in pain?"
"The pain killers do nothing. All the technology and discovery on this planet and they can't even stop her pain…I can't stop it." He pushed himself back against the headboard and looked down at Bulma's face. Slowly Trunks reached forward to the hand lying across her stomach and took it carefully and rubbed it slowly. Pan saw the tears gathering in his eyes and started to rub his back and scooting closer to him.
"Did they say if they couldn't remove it how long she had…" Trunks felt a lump grow in his throat and looked back to Pan. He felt the bed move and turned to look into the eyes of his mother.
"Hi Trunks sweetie." Bulma smiled and looked past Trunks to Pan. "Hi Pan. How's the business honey?" Trunks averted his eyes from her the pain he felt was to great to stand and he could not cry not in front of his father.
"Good…good. How…how are you feeling?" Pan's lip began to quiver and she bit down on it to make it stop.
"I have a slight headache. Nothing to worry about…" She paused and looked at Pan's hand on Trunks back and smiled. "It's about time you two got together." Trunks's head snapped to Bulma's face that was smiling at him and her eyes were full of love and pride.
"Mom?" Trunks voice broke as he tried to grasp that she was actually happy for him instead of calling him…
"So tell me when will I have grandchildren?" Trunks smiled as he felt tears fall down his face. Quickly reaching forward he pulled his mother in a hug and squeezed her tightly.
"I'm so sorry mom. I do love you." Bulma looked to Pan questionably and started to pat his back. Pan smiled and shrugged knowing Bulma doesn't remember their fight. She glanced over to Vegeta who turned his head but Pan saw the afternoon sun reflecting off his face and she knew he was crying too.
"Sorry for what? I know you love me. I love you too." Bulma felt Trunks nod his head and pulled back from his mother laughing lightly. She reached up ready to wipe his tears away when she gave a low scream and fell back against the bed. Vegeta and Trunks both reached but Bulma pushed them away claiming to be fine. Trunks looked over to his dad and Vegeta motion his head to the door.
"Mom, Pan and I are going to step outside but I'll be back in a little while." Bulma squeezed her eyes shut and nodded unable to answer. Trunks leaned forward and kissed her forehead before getting up and walking out of the room. Closing the door Trunks slumped back against the door sliding down to the floor. Pan sat down next to him and grabbed his hand bringing it to her lips and kissing it lightly. Trunks looked up from the floor into her eyes.
"You'll never know how much you mean to me." Quickly sliding over Trunks pulled Pan over to him and kissed her trying to let her read his heart. Pan's hands went to run through his hair and stroking his back. Trunks pulled her so close to him that Pan could feel his heart beating as fast as hers.
"I don't think I'll ever get use to seeing that." Trunks and Pan pulled away from each other looking up at Goten standing there grinning. Behind him Bra was smiling sweetly at them shaking her finger at them. Trunks stood up and grabbed Pan's arm helping her off the floor. Even with a simple touch Trunks wanted nothing more but for the world to dissolve and let it only be the two of them.
"You two hungry? Goten is going to make some lunch…well with my help." Bra rested a hand on Goten shoulder as she looked at the pair in front of her. Trunks watched as a blush crossed Goten's face. Pan walked over to Bra and pulled her away from Goten heading down the stairs to the kitchen. Trunks saw Goten turn to watch the two walk away. His eyes fixed on one of them particularly.
"So what were you two doing?" Turning around Goten saw Trunks arms crossed over his chest waiting for an answer. Goten scratched the back of his head and looked down to the ground.
"She needed someone to comfort her. Your dad is to busy with Bulma and you and Pan need your space…so she called me." Goten smiled and Trunks walked away from his parent's door afraid of what his dad might hear. Going into his old room Trunks closed the door as Goten went to sit down at Trunks's desk. Trunks studied Goten as he play with a folder flipping through the documents.
"Goten you do realize that she has…"
"Feeling for me?"
"Yes." Trunks saw Goten's head fall and his hands came up to hold up his head as he sighed.
"Of course."
"Do you have…"
"Have feelings for her."
"Stop cutting me off!" Trunks went to sit down on the bed laughing at Goten. "So do you?" Goten turned to look at Trunks and without answering Trunks knew the answer, it was shining right in Goten's eyes.
"What do you think?" Goten smirked at his statement then getting he headed to the door. "I promised Bra I would help her with lunch. You coming?" Trunks pushed himself off the bed and joined his friend heading down the stairs. Both the girls were laughing covered from head to toe with flour when they entered the kitchen. Trunks and Goten started laughing at the two causing the girls looked at the entryway and blush. Trunks raised an eyebrow to Pan smirking.
"Don't ask. You guys want to help?" The guys joined the girls helping with the cooking. A few moments later Vegeta walked in holding Bulma's arm helping her to the kitchen table. The four watched as Vegeta pulled her hair back into a ponytail and asked what she wanted to eat. Bulma said she wasn't hungry but Vegeta shook his head and walked over to the group looking at what they were cooking.
"Are you almost done with that? She needs to eat." Bra was about to answer when the sound of a crash made them all jump. Turning to look at Bulma they saw her laying on the ground eyes shut not moving. Vegeta ran over to Bulma scooping her up in his arms. His hand went to her throat searching for pulse. There was slow rhythm and Vegeta lightly tapped her cheek.
"Bulma wake up, wake up." Trunks and Bra went to his side and watched as their father started yelling at Bulma to wake up. Pan walked over to Goten and he held her in a hug as they watched helplessly.
"Dad we have to get her to the doctor." Vegeta looked at his son and nodded as he got up off the floor holding Bulma carefully. He took off to the back door and then into the sky followed by the four. As they flew to the hospital Goten felt something growing to the east. Slowing down a little he looked over to the setting sun and felt a new ki shoot up. He blinked at the power then just as quickly as it appeared it was gone. Shaking it off he caught back up with the others as they landed outside of Satan City Hospital.
