~Scene change/Flashback~

Chapter 11:

Bardock set down Ryanna's now sleeping form onto her bed. Grief and depression exhausted the poor saiyan female. 'How could this be? The prince is the father of her baby? It doesn't make any sense at all.' He sat by her side not moving once. About an hour later Pan came into the room. "How is she, grandfather?" Bardock looked at his granddaughter and sighed. "She hasn't awoken since I brought her here. I'm afraid for her sanity." Pan sat down next to him. "You really love her don't you Grandpa?" Bardock looked at Pan and smiled slightly. "Yes I do, Pan. She is an amazing woman and I don't know what I would do if I ever lost her."

Pan's eyes grew teary. "Oh that is so sweet! How romantic!" Pan sighed dreamily, making Bardock chuckle. Ryanna stirred on the bed making them both glance at her. "That reminds me, what did you guys argue about to make her like this?" Bardock looked his hands. The dark red cloth that was on his wrist became very interesting then. As her played with the material he mumbled something. "What was that I didn't hear you, Grandpa?" Sighing he replied, "She accidentally told me who the father was," Pan's mouth was in a gap. "You're not gonna tell anyone are you?" Bardock shook his head. "It is her duty to tell not mine. Though I wish she had told me before. It would have been a little less painful for me."

"How is it painful for you? She's the one that might loose her baby." Bardock looked at her. "If you think she loves Trunks you're wrong. It was an accident. It was something neither of them could control until it was too late." Pan paused a bit. "By the time Ryanna got a hold of herself he had already gotten into her." Her voice was quiet but he heard. "The full moon, no wonder she didn't tell." Pan nodded. A knock at the door interrupted their conversation. "Pan, love, are you in there?" "Yes Trunks I am. I'll be out in a second." Bardock lowered his voice. "Do you think he heard?" Pan shook her head. "I better go. I'll see you later grandpa."

Bardock waved his hand then looked back to the bed. He smiled at Ryanna's now calm face. She was so angelic when she was asleep. He brushed back some of her loose bangs then got up. He walked to the bathroom and washed his face. Staring at the reflection in the mirror he acknowledged every muscle and limb on his body. He may have been a grandfather but his looks remained. He looked no older than his late twenties. He flexed out his arm and traced a rebel vein. A soft noise interrupted his distant thoughts.

As he went outside he realized that Ryanna was no longer asleep and sitting at the edge of the bed. Her thick blue quilt was wrapped around her body and she looked to be in some sort trance. "Ryanna?" She didn't flinch or even look up at Bardock. Bardock walked over to her and squatted by in front of her legs. "It's amazing isn't it?" "What is?" "How fast life can pass by you." She paused; her shady green eyes were a mute. "I was only a teen when I gave birth to my son." She smiled. "Do you remember that day?" Bardock smiled back. "How could I forget?"

~FLASHBACK~

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ryanna laid on a bed covered in sweat. Several doctors were hustling in her room as she struggled giving birth. "Calm down, Ryanna! Ease your breathing, and give me a nice big push." "Fuck my breathing! It hurts god damn it! Why don't you try squeezing something the size of a watermelon out of an opening the size of a le-OUCH!" The head doctor sweat dropped as Ryanna raved. "It's okay, um just push, one nice big push. On the count of three, one... two..." Ryanna wheezed. "Three!" Pushing her Ki boosted and she screamed. Two seconds later she had became a super saiyan and the cry of a baby filled the air.

About an hour later everything had calmed down. Ryanna was laying tiredly on her bed holding her newborn son. Just an hour old he already had a full grown head of brown hair slightly spiked up. It wasn't gravity defying hair but it still was spiky. Bardock walked into the room and smiled at Ryanna. She noticed his presence and gave hi a small grin. "Bardock, to what do I owe this unexpected pleasure?" Bardock kept his grin and sat on her bedside. "I wanted to check upon you. When I saw you delivering you didn't look so hot." Ryanna scoffed. "You try giving birth to a big saiyan boy and see how hot you look." He chuckled. "I'll pass thank-you." Damien wiggled a bit and let out a small baby yawn.

"Though I wouldn't mind holding your son." Ryanna cocked an eyebrow at him. "I never had the pleasure of holding my own sons. So I would like to know how it feels." Ryanna smiled slightly and handed over the not so tiny infant. As Bardock held the boy in his arms, the baby smiled and laughed. This made both Ryanna and Bardock laugh.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Ryanna smiled at the memory, but only slightly. "Why am I so weak Bardock?" Bardock looked at her, confused. "What do you mean weak? You are one of the strongest Elites on the force." Ryanna shook her head. "I may be strong physically, But my emotional strength hangs by a thread of life. One incident like today could kill me." "Don't say that!" He took Ryanna's hands. "The last thing I want is for you to die!" He kissed her knuckles and then placed them on his face. The warmth of his face made her hands genial, and she smiled at the feeling.

"Bardock you are too good to me." Bardock looked up to her. "After everything I've done you still act like this... why?" Tears began to come down her face. Bardock took his right hand and moved it up to her face, Her cheeks were flushed with tears but he wiped the away gently. "Well that's a stupid question. It's because I love you." Ryanna's eye's widened slightly. She was speechless. "You're not joking, are you?" Well not quite speechless. Bardock smiled at her and sat on her bed beside her. He tipped her chin, and said ever so softly, "I'm not joking." The tears didn't stop but nevertheless Ryanna smiled. "Oh Bardock, I didn't mean to do all that. I didn't mean to push you away. I was just scared and I..." Bardock hushed her with his finger. "You talk too much." A small laugh escaped Ryanna's lips. "One more thing. I love you too." Bardock smiled. "I know you do." Their lips met in a fiery kiss. Ryanna discarded the blanket and wrapped her arms around him.

Unknowing to them three figures quietly opened the door and watched as the two shared a passionate kiss. "Wow, this is awesome!" "Shh... not so loud Bra they'll hear us." Pan smiled and giggled. She knew that it would happen eventually, but at least Ryanna wouldn't be so alone anymore. "Well there's one part of the case closed." "Don't you mean cases Trunks?" Trunks shrugged and pulled on Pan's sleeve. "I think we should go now, love." Pan nodded in agreement. "Okay, come one Bra." "Aw man it was just getting good!" The three turned to leave. Pan was about to shut the door but took one last glance at the pair who now rested in each other's arms. "Good luck you guys." Quietly she closed the door.

WHEW! It's been awhile peoples! I'd love to stay and chat but I have a deadline to make. So... bye-bye! Ooh and review please!
