§ Chapter Nine: The Aftermath, Again §

Marron looked at her wine glass through glossy eyes. She didn't know how long she'd been at the bar, one hour, two hours; it didn't matter because right now she felt like crap.

How could this have happen? What did I do wrong? I thought we loved each other and nothing could come between us? I was so happy the day I found out she ran away, Trunks was a mess back then but I was there and slowly he began to forget her…I least I thought he did. Now that I think about it, it was those following months that Trunks began to burry himself in his work deeper than before. And even after we were married we didn't spend much time together, hell our honeymoon was during a business trip to Paris for God's sake!

Marron sighed drinking the last of her wine in one gulp. Her brow wrinkled and her eyes narrowed.

For far too long I've let that child get in the way of my happiness! I won't stand for it any longer, he is mine and no love sick fool is going to take him from me!

Marron fished in her purse and pulled out her cell phone. She quickly dialed a seven digit number and waited for the person to pick up.

"Hello, Kai? It's Marron."

"Trunks what's going to happen now?" Pan asked as she ran her fingers through his long lavender hair.

Trunks pulled his lover closer and mumbled into her hair, "I don't know exactly but if there's one thing I do know it's that Marron and I are over. I won't lie to you I did love her once; she was there for me when you felt and I found she was the only one I could turn to. I guess that friendship turned into something more and before I knew it I had asked her to marry me…but I don't think I was ever really happy with her. I kept finding excuses not to be home, I buried myself in work, and I don't think mother had ever seen me so devoted."

Pan gasped. "Trunks, what about our families? They don't know about any of this: the twins, you and me, how we want to be together. When I we going to tell them?"

"I've been thinking about that and I've already figured it out. My trip ends in about a week, I'll sort things out with Marron before then and we'll return to Japan together. Just me, you, the twins and if she wants Satomi too. How does that sound to you?"

"You make it seem so easy. I know Marron won't give you up that easily and my parents, our parents…Trunks I'm scared." Pan whispered.

Trunks kissed her on the top of her head. "I know, Panny, I am too but you know what?"

"What?"

"We'll get through it together."

§

The week passed by in what seemed like a blink of an eye. On several occasions Trunks tried to get in touch with Marron but she moved out of his hotel room the night they had their little fight. He hadn't seen or heard from her since and from what he could tell she had changed her cell phone number. Normally he'd just call Krillin to track her down but right now, when things were so rocky with Marron and Pan he didn't dare.

On Trunks' last day in the Big Apple he drove over to Pan and Satomi's place where Pan and the twins were waiting and packed. Pan had requested vacation time and with a quick phone call from a certain CEO in Japan she was given a whole month off! The twins were taken out of school on a family emergency, which it was, and Satomi had her apartment all to herself again, something she hadn't had in about five years.

Pan had called her mother and father at the beginning of the week and told them to expect her home by the end of the week with a couple of surprises in toe. Bulma already knew Trunks was due to arrive but when word got around that Pan would be coming back on the very same day she deiced to make a huge 'welcome back' party for the both of them.

Too bad Trunks and Pan didn't know about this party or they would have never showed up…too bad no one told them.

A/N: Ok it's been a long time and I'm happy I'm back. I have things settled as much as possible with school and college, I hope. I'm no longer a High School student yall! Yay!

Anyway, what's Marron planning? I can tell you this it will be BIG! And what of the little party Bulma's planning for Trunks and Pan? How will they deal with the twins?
