I sat on a chair in the England Hospital, the best in the country. Where I had first awoken in the country.
The doctors didn't give me much information, but that he was in critical condition, had lost a lot of blood, and had internal bleeding. They couldn't decide whether he would live or die, it all depended on how strong Trunks was.
The police had held me in the police station for about two hours, just asking questions about what exactly happen, that cause one man to die, two shot, and one who had a neck fracture. I had killed the man I had hit with the gun.
Marron was still alive. She wasn't in critical condition though, but I think she would have preferred it. She is paralyzed from the waist down, and won't be able to walk, ever. Now there was something she could blame me for. She would be sent to prison without trial… that's how powerful my family is.
"It has been 5 hours, why haven't they come out to tell us more news?" I asked Goten who was sitting next to me, with an arm around my shoulder.
"Don't worry Panny, he'll pull trough," Goten squeezed my shoulder, before standing and going around to everyone that was also in the waiting room with me, he asked if anyone wanted anything from the cafeteria.
"Do you want to go with me to the cafeteria, Panny?" he asked coming back to me, I shook my head. "You want anything?" he asked worried. I shook my head again.
Goten nodded about to leave, but Bra sprang up from her seat, "I'll help you bring everything," she walked out of the waiting rooms with him.
Vegeta stood leaning against the wall nearest to the window, overlooking the park across the hospital. He had came in with a hysterical, Bulma. Bulma sat next to him, after she had pulled over a chair. Chichi sat quietly, next to Goku who had a consoling arm around her shoulders. He was looking straight at me, catching me staring, and smiled.
My second oldest sister was busy with Veggie, who was pulling on her hair, not realizing what had happened or what was happening. Goku was the same in my brother Johnny's arms. Nanna held a dozing Goken in her arms. I hadn't spent much time with him, after I came over to England, and with all the drama. I smiled at him. He was lucky my mother came that day, since I had planned to leave, and I don't even want to think about what could have happened to him.
My father. I never checked up on him or anything. Maybe he was already out, and found my mother at our house… I don't know but I'll check into it.
My entire younger brother watched the television the nurse had turned on to Cartoon Network. I looked from one to the next, and smiled as I realized they would all survive, all go to college; all live a long healthy, happy life.
"Family of Mr. Trunks Briefs?" I snapped out of my train of thought turning to the male doctor, reading the name off a clipboard. I stood, getting closer, but Bulma was the one that answered.
"We're all here," she said also standing, taking Vegeta's hand and coming closer to the doctor.
"Mr. Trunks came through alright, he might not wake in a few day, but he's out of the real danger," the doctor, I noticed whose name tag red Chad, explained. He looked around at everyone with honey brown eyes. "People may start to visit him tomorrow, but tonight it's a smart idea if you all go home."
We all sighed in relief; I felt my stomach unknot slowly as I watched Chad walk away from us. Every smiled at last, and I sat down feeling better than I've had, it seemed in a long while, but in reality it was only a few hours.
"Come Pan, lets go home. Goten will stay, and call us if anything changes," Goku said, taking a hold of my upper arm. I nodded standing and going over to Johnny, and my sister Linah. I reached out for Goku Jr. and Veggie who came happily, children always know who's their mother. Hugging them to me, I walked with Goku, Nanna, Chichi, and my brothers out of the hospital, wishing Goten, and Bra who were staying goodnight, and Vegeta and Bulma, who left to their own home.

I was shaken awake enthusiastically by Johnny who looked anxious shaking my vigorously.
"What? What?" I asked alarmed looking around to check on the boy, but finding them safe in their cribs. "What's wrong?" I asked looking back to Johnny.
"Trunks woke up, and he doesn't want to see anyone, but you. He won't believe anyone that's telling him you're all right. He wants to see you for himself," he said out of breath, obviously he had ran up the stairs. I stood up from my bed, without another word, and put some clothes on. Johnny had went downstairs to tell Nanna I was up, and coming down with the boys.
As I barely finished dressing, Nanna rushed in, "no, no, no, don't wake the boys. You go, leave them to me, they'll be fine," she assured. I nodded my head, giving her million thanks, before running down, and out the door where a driver waited for me, ready.
I arrived at the hospital in record time, running straight in without waiting for the elevators, and taking the emergency stairs. I ran to the waiting rooms I had been in yesterday, and found Goten sitting closely with Bra, they seemed to be in an interesting conversation.
"What room is Trunks in?" I asked, knowing full well I interrupted their, thing, but I needed to see Trunks awake.
"Pan!" Goten, and Bra both said in unison surprised. They both turned red 'for some reason,' as I looked from one to the other, "he's in room 613, down that hall," Goten finally answered trying unsuccessfully to control his face. I was off once again.
I stopped in front of the door, clearly hearing arguing coming from the inside. "I won't eat anything until I know the truth about Pan, or she's in here with me," I heard Trunks growl, and the nurse try to argue.
"Leave the food, nurse. I'll feed this big baby," I said as I opened the door and entered the room. Trunks looked at me, from the bed, and broke out into a huge smile, I smiled equally back. The nurse walked out saying, 'good luck,' I laughed walking over to Trunks. I sat in the seat next to him, trying not to get too close, because I might hurt him or something.
""Come up here," he patted the bed beside him. I shook my head, looking serious now, "come on, you won't hurt me, I promise."
"Okay, but I'm sorry if I do," I said shakily, lifting myself slowly onto the bed. Once I was on comfortably he circled his arms around me and held me close hugging me close to his side. I circled my arms loosely around his waist making sure I was as far away from the wound as possible.
"I missed you," he whispered into my hair, smelling in my scent, and bending just a little capturing my lips. I tilted my head up so he won't have to move, and kissed him back, having missed him also. "How is everyone else, at your house?" he asked still holding on to me. I didn't want to let go either.
"Everyone's fine, Johnny has a few bruises, Goku has bruises on his back, Goku Jr. has scratch marks on his stomach, Veggie has one nasty bruise, and you seen Goten," I said seriously, feeling his hold on me tighten.
"Did they hurt you?" he asked, expecting only the truth from me. No they hadn't done anything to me, I had taken one man's life, a woman's ability to walk, and I was told last night the other man couldn't hear from one ear. I must have hit to close to the ear, and popped his earlobe.
"No," I said softly holding him a little tighter, and just sitting there with him. He didn't ask anymore realizing I didn't want to talk about it no more, and letting it go. "They didn't hurt me, I hurt them."
"It was all self defense Pan, anything you might have done was in self defense, and saved your whole family's life, don't hate yourself for doing it," he said softly kissing my forehead. I stayed quiet, as did he. We just enjoyed each other's company.

1 Year Later
I was June 13, my birthday! I turned 20. Trunks and I have been together happily, and the boys are both a year old, now. I found out about my dad a few months back, and like I expected he wasn't in jail anymore. I asked Elijah to check out where I used to live, and he called back, that again I was right. My dad had gotten back to my mom, and they were living there.
To my relief Elijah also told me, no new child has been born from my parents. I told my grandma, and grandpa about where my parent where, and they shook their heads sadly. They couldn't break the whole family, by trying to help their children that didn't want to be helped. And I still don't know if my father would come looking for me if he found out where we lived now.
Marron, and all her male comrades were sent away for many years. The men were all wanted criminals, who had killed and allowed themselves to be captured because there was a chance I would have killed one or tow if they attacked. I was lucky they didn't get those ideas when it all happened.
I opened my eyes from the comfortable sleep, and looked behind me. Trunks' face rested lightly on my shoulder blade, and his pillow. He was soundly asleep, still holding me around the waist possessively
I snuggled closer, feeling him wake, and give a firm squeeze on my hip. I smiled secretly as his lips kissed my shoulder, all the way up to my cheek, where he tried to lean over to my lips. I laughed purposely turning my head away, hearing him growl.
"Tight ass, birthday girl," he chuckled nipping my neck lightly. I turned to look up at him, and found him smirking down at me before taking my lips, and exploring every inch of my mouth.
"I'm not a tight ass," I moaned turning in his grasp. He chuckle moving on top of me, lying between my legs, with his head on my chest. We were both only wearing undergarments.
"Of course not," he kissed me before rolling off, and getting off of the bed. "But we can't do the dirty right now."
"Why?!" I asked disappointed.
"Because we have to meet everyone, or they'll come up looking for you," he looked back at me, smiling in remembrance.
"Wouldn't want what happen in Valentines to happen again would we," I laughed remembering that morning having Goten burst into the room passing out cards from the mail.
"Exactly," Trunks smiled going into our huge shower. I smiled evilly slipping out of the bed, and closing the door behind me as I entered the bathroom also…
♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠♠
"SURPRISE!!!" everyone screamed as I walked into the Briefs' home, at around 5:00pm that same day. Everyone was there, even my friends from LA who made comments everywhere about me being 'hot.' Trunks glared a little but got over it as my surprise party went on.
Goku Jr., and Veggie who were both walking, and running, played with my younger brothers, and Goken who was two, turning three in a few months.
I sat down on the big couch in the Brief's family room, and was joined by Trunks who intertwined our fingers, as we looked blissfully at our family.
Goku was talking to Vegeta, who was trying to glare his way out of the conversation. Chichi, and Bulma were happily exchanging gossip. Goten and Bra seemed comfortable holding hands as they talked in shushed whispers in each other's ears. They've been dating for a few months now. Nanna laughed as my sister Linah and Johnny put on a show for her entertainment. Everyone else was running around making the best out of everything.
"Attention!" Trunks brought the attention of the whole room to him. He stood and looked around the room. When he was sure everyone was listening, he turned back to me, and dropped to one knee. "Panny, I wanted to ask you this for the longest time, but never found a good opportunity when everyone you and I love are in the same room all at once. And today is the best opportunity," he pause taking out a small lace covered black box. I stared at him in disbelief, but when he opened the box my eyes bulged as I laid eyes on the engagement ring.
"Pan Son will you give me the honors of being your husband, in the eyes of the world, and God?" he asked me looking up at me eyes. I felt my eyes water, and finally after a fight my rears streamed down my face, and I nodded, YES!
He took out the engagement ring, and slipped in my finger, pulling me up with him, and kissing me his gratitude. I circled my arms around him and kissed back, loving the idea of being his wife, and having a proper family. Everyone applaud, watching as I jumped with glee once Trunks and I let go of each other. Then the party continued, and every one there had fun, especially me.
I love how my family turned out. I love how my friends remembered me. I love how I feel loved. I love how I'm safe. And I especially love how I love Trunks, and the way he loves me back… I WAS GETTING MARRIED IN A FEW MONTHS!
THE END!
