The Story of Truten Part Two: Gemini Rising

Chapter Two

"And if any one had asked me yesterday I would have told them how loved I felt by my father but- today I just feel betrayed."

Truten could not remember a time that he had ever been that mellow dramatic! It was 3:17 am, he had been lying awake in his bed for hours. Since about 7:30 actually when after another episode with his parent's at the diner table he has insisted he was going to bed.

After reflecting on all that had happened that day for eight hours, he finally felt guilty. Finally. He knew he had been an ass- repetitively, and he was sorry.

He rolled over at least a dozen more times before he made the decision to get out of bed and walk to his parent's bedroom.

He quietly opened the door and slid in. The sound of the overhead fan masking the sound of him shutting the door back. Suddenly Truten got cold feet and stopped. Sure he was sorry- but he hated to ever admit that he was wrong or acted badly. He was about to turn back around when he noticed the door to his parents balcony was slid open and the drapes were blowing in the cool night breeze. He glanced as his parents bed and squinting he made out the sleeping form of his papa Goten.

'So dad must be outside he thought. GREAT- that can't be good for the kid' he thought.

Truten walked slowly across his parent's bedroom and out into the night on his parent's balcony. He spotted his father leaning across the railing head across his arms staring up at the night sky.

"So dad- what are you doing out here in the middle of the night?"

"So son- what are you doing caring?"

"I'm sorry. I acted like an ass and I know it. I didn't even try to understand I was just. jealous I guess. I have never had to share you guys before."

When it was all out Truten couldn't believe every thing he had said. In fact he didn't even realize he had been thinking all that until after he had said it. But now that it was all out he felt a hell of a lot better.

Trunks stood up and turned around. If possible to Truten, Trunks looked even bigger in his mid section.

"So are you going to tell me what you are doing out here or not dad?"

"I could ask you the same thing brat." "I was worried about you dad."

"I was worried about you too Truten. Do you want to know a secret?"

"Sure."

"I never wanted to have any other kids."

"Ruined it for you huh?"

"Quite the opposite actually. It was an accident but I am kinda glad it happened now 'cuz I missed you."

"Missed me how dad. I'm right here."

"Not like that Truten. I am talking about when you were little- it just feels like you don't need me any more and I miss when you did."

" I will always need you, you're my father. But just between us that was the single most emotional moment we have ever had."
