Two Sides Of The Story: Chapter 4- Confession Part 2
Log: April 27, 793
Today was the big day. The day their parents were going to know. Marron already knew that she was going to be scolded by her mother at first, but she will be happy about the idea sincr no one thought this was going to happen.
"Come on, Trunks we are going to be late!" Marron shouted as she continued to knock on the door to his apartment. She had a doctor's appointment and if they didn't leave in the next five minutes they were going to be late.
The door opened as she faced the father of her child, "I'm sorry, I overslept." He said as he stepped outside. "Let's get going." He continued as he closed and locked the door.
Trunks agreed to drive to their doctor's appointment because the place was closer to his apartment building than Marron's. Another plus side if they do agree to move in together.
They made it to his parking garage and Trunks unlocked his car and they stepped in. "Are you nervous?" He asked to break the ice.
The blonde nodded her head, "Not as nervous for tonight."
"Let's not talk about tonight." He said as he started the car and drove out of the parking garage.
Marron sighed as she covered her mouth and held her stomach with her hand. "I think I'm going to be sick." She said as she started to roll down the window in Trunks' car.
He placed kiddie lock on the window. "No, you aren't going to throw up on the side of my car."
Marron scoffed at Trunks. She knew that he cared about his car a lot, who wouldn't, but she thought he would be more considerate. "Would you rather me throw up in here?" She shot back.
The twenty-seven year didn't want to put a fight this early in the morning, so he decided not to say anything. "We are almost at the doctor's office. Another five minutes." He mumbled.
Marron nodded her head, "Can you please slow down?" She asked still covering her mouth.
"Sure." He said as he took his foot of the gas.

"Bra! Will you tell me Trunks' big secret?" Her mother pleaded for the fifth time. She was acting like a child when they weren't getting their way. She agreed to stay loyal to her best friend and brother, so nothing was coming from her mouth.
Bra rolled her eyes as she got up from the couch and walked up the stairs, "Mom, irritating me isn't going to work." Bra mumbled. She knew her mother would eventually follow her upstairs. So, she decided to go to her mother's room first.
She smiled when she saw her jewelry box. Her mother hated when she would use her jewelry as a kid. Since she is twenty-two now, she doesn't care as much. Or that is what Bra thinks.
The bluenette walked over to the box and took the lid off of it. "Holy crap." She muttered as she took out a pair of diamonds earrings. It seemed that they had eighteen carat. "I'm just going to borrow these." She said with a smirk as she put them on her ears.
She started to put the lid on when she saw something that caught her eye. She quickly snatched them as she walked to her room. "I need my own place."

Trunks returned to Marron's room after he took a trip to the vending machine. "I'm back." He said as he closed the door.
Marron growled, "Did you already eat half of it?" She asked.
Trunks nodded his head as he wolfed down the rest of the candy bar. "I'm a saiyan I eat fast okay." He defended himself as he threw the wrapper away. "I hope our baby won't eat slow like you."
The blonde scoffed the comment the lavender haired man said. "Well, at least I don't inhale my food!" She shot back.
The twenty-seven year old rolled his eyes, "I grew up with my dad, if you didn't eat fast you didn't eat!" He exclaimed. Marron was going to say something, but that's when the doctor entered.
"Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Briefs." She mumbled.
Marron swallowed hard, "Oh, we aren't married."
"Boyfriend?"
"No." She said slightly embarrassed.
The doctor just nodded her head as she made her way over to the computer. Marron was internally screaming because if a stranger could judge them, how would their parents react. The blonde took a deep breath.
"Can we have a name, doctor?" Trunks asked.
The doctor looked at Trunks and smiled, "I'm Doctor Jones. I'm sorry I forget to say that sometimes." She confessed. She pulled the ultrasound machine along with some gel.
Marron was eager to see her baby that was growing inside of her. She did wish that her first baby would be with her future husband. She came to realize having a baby with her best friend wouldn't be too bad.
Trunks smiled as he looked at Marron's facial expression. He knew she was nervous for tonight, but the look on her face made it seem she was excited for this to happen. He watched as the doctor brought the machine closer to Marron.
"I apologize the gel might be slightly cold." Doctor Jones said causing Marron to nod her head. She gently tugged on Marron's shirt and pulled it up. She squeezed some of the gel out and rubbed it over Marron's stomach.
Trunks sighed heavily, "This is exciting." He mumbled.
Marron smiled at him, "I know."
Doctor Jones turned on the machine as she placed the remote onto Marron's stomach. She moved it a couple of times before she was able to pick up a heart rate. "Heart rate is 160." She said. She continued to move the remote around causing Marron's smile to continue to grow. "You are around five weeks pregnant."
"Awesome." Marron said. She was too busy being mesmerized by the screen to even pay attention to what the doctor said. "Trunks, that's our baby."
Doctor Jones smiled. She placed her finger on the monitor and smiled, "That's your baby, the little bean." She said, "I'll get the copy ready for you guys. It should be ready in a few minutes." The doctor took her gloves off and threw them away in the trash can as she exited.
Trunks formed a smile on his face, "So, we made that?" He asked pointing to the tiny thing on the monitor which looked like a fuzzy bean.
Marron couldn't help herself, but laugh at Trunks. "Yeah, we made that." She said in between giggles.
He shrugged his shoulders and looked at his blonde friend. She looked over at him with a concerned look on his face.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
He nodded his head, "Yeah, I'm going to get another snack." He said as she quickly left the room. He took out his cell phone and called his best friend.
"Hello?" Goten asked in mid-yawn. It was Saturday closing in on eleven thirty.
Trunks rolled his eyes, "Were you asleep?"
He nodded his head, "Hell yeah I was." He said as he yawned again, "Uub and I stayed up watching movies, but anyway what's up?"
The twenty-seven year old sighed heavily, "I'm just a little apprehensive right now."
Goten had a confused look on his face. The Trunks he knew was always confident and proud. Not the way his father was, but it was something similar to that. So whenever Trunks said that he was nervous he couldn't believe him.
"What's wrong?" He asked again as he pulled the covers off his bed and left his room.
"Just about this whole baby. I thought I was going to be okay, but I don't know it is just weird." He said.
Goten rolled his eyes as he opened up the refrigerator, "Look, Trunks, I don't know your situation because my pull out game is strong, but my question is, do you want a sarcastic comment or actual advice?"
Trunks couldn't believe the words that were coming out Goten's mouth. He must really be tired to actually say that. "Advice Goten."
"Just talk to Marron about it." He mumbled through the phone. "And I know that Marron is meeting Bra at the diner after the appointment so you can come over and the boys can talk about it."
Trunks shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe, but how do you know that? She didn't even tell me that."
"Your sister told me."
Trunks nodded his head, "Hey, I need to get back to room, see you in like thirty minutes." The hybrid hung up his phone and placed it back into his pocket. He needed to calm his nerves down. He was probably thinking like that because of the dinner tonight with his folks. Trunks made his way back down to Marron's room.
"I want to see you back in two months." Doctor Jones said as Trunks opened the door to Marron's room.
The blonde nodded her head and slightly smiled when she saw that Trunks had returned. "Okay, thank you doctor!" Marron said shaking her doctor's hand. Trunks smiled at Doctor Jones as she exited the room.
Marron jumped down from the table and grabbed her purse. "Ready?" She asked. He nodded his head and the soon to be parents left.
.
.
.
"Are you sure you don't want to come in?" Marron asked Trunks as he was about to drop her off at the diner.
"I mean if you want me too, I can." He said knowing that he will have to let Goten know that he changed his plans.
Marron nodded her head, "Yeah, I would like you too."
"Okay, let me find a park." He said as he rolled up the window and driving away. The blonde smiled as she walked into the diner to their familiar booth. They had been coming to his diner since they were in high school. She remembered when Yamcha opened the place. She just turned fifteen.
Shortly, Trunks entered and sat across from his baby momma. "Are you okay Marron?" He asked as he placed his keys inside of his jacket pocket.
She shrugged her shoulders, "I'm too nervous about tonight that I can't even eat." She muttered as Yamcha came over to hand her some water and Trunks some lemonade. "Thank you, Yamcha."
"I'm pretty nervous about tonight too, don't worry." He confessed. The lavender haired man knew this was his time to talk to Marron about his current dilemma. Before he was able to open his mouth, his little sister ran into the diner sliding into next to Marron.
She had a magazine with her, but what is new. "You need to explain this!" She asked as she flipped frantically to a page.
"Explain what?" Trunks asked as he took a sip of his lemonade. He will talk to her about it next time they are alone. He didn't want Bra to know about this because she would give him a hard time about it.
Bra smiled as she found the page and shoved it to her older brother. "Bra, what's wrong?" Marron asked slightly worried but at the same time she was interested on what was happening.
"It's official Trunks Briefs is dating model Lana Grimes the two were spotted inside of a restaurant a couple of days ago. When they left they were even holding hands!" Trunks read out loud as his eyes grew bigger with each word. "Damn, mom is going to kill me if she finds out!"
Bra nodded her head as if she knew that already, "If I didn't know that, would I have showed you this?" She asked as she grabbed Marron's water and took a sip.
Marron rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "No, it's not like I wanted that." She said sarcastically with a harsh tone to it. Bra placed the glass down with apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, Mare." She apologized. "What are you going to do about this?" She asked as she turned her attention to her older.
Trunks shrugged his shoulders. He hasn't been caught by the paparazzi since he was in high school, so he never expected this to happen to him again. He sighed, "I don't know." He confessed as he took a sip of his lemonade. "I don't know Bra." He repeated.
She looked at him confused, "Are you all right?"
He nodded his head even though he was lying. As much as he wanted to tell the truth, he needed to tell Marron first. Goten already knew which means he probably already told Uub. He wish that he could keep secrets better.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Bra." He mumbled as he slid out the booth. "I'm just going to the bathroom." He walked away and made his way to the bathroom.
Bra looked over at Marron and she shrugged her shoulders, "So, tell me how did the doctor's appointment went?"
Marron smiled as she opened her purse, so she could show her best friend the ultrasound picture. Even though the baby was a tiny as a bean, she still couldn't believe that was her baby with Trunks.
She gave Bra the picture and she squealed looking at it. "Where is it?"
"Where is what?" Marron asked as she took a sip of her water.
The bluenette rolled her eyes at Marron. "Where is the baby Marron?"
Marron took the picture back and pointed to the tiny fuzzy bean. Bra smiled as she realized that she was going to be aunt. The daughter of Bulma handed the ultrasound photo back to her best friend.
By this time, Trunks returned the booth. "Hey, Goten and Uub are too lazy to come down here, so I'm just going to hang out with them." He said causing the girls to scoff at him. "We haven't had a guy's day in while and you still need to plan an outfit for tonight."
"We are telling our parents and I don't know what I'm wearing. Help me out?" Marron asked Bra frantically. The bluenette smiled and nodded her head as the girls raced out of the diner.
Trunks sighed as he walked up to the cashier to pay the bill. He exited the diner and made his way to where he parked his car.

Uub rolled his eyes as he tossed a pretzel in his mouth. "Trunks, I guarantee that Marron is just as nervous as you!" Uub exclaimed. Trunks rolled his eyes as he shoved most of the chips from the bag into his mouth.
"You should have seen her at the doctor's appointment, it didn't show that she was nervous." Trunks shot back.
"I mean if I was Marron I would be anxious as hell. My mother told me she pushed out a ten pound baby and a thirteen pound." Goten added to the conversation which neither Trunks or Uub needed to know.
Trunks tried his best to shake off the comment Goten added but he couldn't get that out his mind. "She could be good at hiding it, Trunks." Uub mumbled.
The twenty-seven year old sighed, "I don't know if I should tell her."
Goten couldn't believe the words that he was hearing. Marron had the right know just like he and his roommate did. "You need to tell her and I told you that when you called."
"Yeah, I know you did, but I just don't want to hurt her." He confessed.
Uub and Goten looked at each other and nodded their heads. They realized why he was nervous to tell her.
"It's like ripping a band-aid off, you want to know how nervous Marron was?" Uub asked. "She ignored you for days that's how nervous she was."
"Really?" Trunks asked as he shoved another chip in his mouth.
Goten nodded his head at his best friend, "If she is able to tell you, you are able to tell her."
Trunks smiled at his best friends. Even though they were disgusting and weird, he appreciated having them around. More important he was happy that the mother of his baby was with someone he called his best friend.
"Thanks guys, I'm going to talk to Marron now." He said as he stood up and made his way to leave their apartment.
Goten walked over and closed the door. He folded his arms as he stared Uub down, "Want to watch more movies?"
"Hell yeah." Uub said as he turned on the TV.
.
.
.
"That outfit is perfect!" Bra exclaimed when she and her best friend finally agreed on the outfit Marron was going to wear.
They picked out a floral summer dress that ended right before the knees. She would wear flats along with a small fedora.
"I just hope Trunks will like it." She said as someone knocked on the door. The blonde made her way and opened the door. "Hey, you like?" She asked as she twirled in a circle.
He nodded his head, "I love it, can we talk Marron?" He asked.
She smiled as she motioned him to come inside of her apartment, "Can you hold that thought?"
"Sure." He said. Marron closed the door to her apartment and made her way to the bathroom.
Bra smiled when she saw it was her big brother and she walked over to him and gave him a big hug. "What was that?" He asked as he kissed his younger sisters forehead.
She looked up at him and a slight smile made an appearance on her face, "I know you are stressed and you need a hug."
"Thanks sister. Anyway, I'm not looking forward to dad's reaction." He confessed as he pulled out one of the chairs and sat down. "He is going to be pissed."
Bra pulled out the chair right next to her brother, "I know and that's going to be some funny shit, but tell him after he eats."
"Why?"
"Remember when I when I went on my first date. I asked after he ate and he didn't explode." She explained to her brother as he nodded his head, "So, make sure he has a good meal and boom no explosion."
"That's a good idea, but remember you're his little girl." He mumbled.
Bra rubbed her chin, "Just try it." He nodded his head as Marron came out of the bathroom. Bra turned around and had a grimace on her face.
"I'm going to need a new outfit for tonight." She stated the obvious. She had thrown up and about half of it was on her dress. Marron sheepily smiled because she was embarrassed.
Trunks had to keep his laughter to himself because he knew that was hilarious, "Is it okay if we talk later on?" He asked trying his best to keep his laughter stifled.
Marron nodded her head as she stomped back into her bedroom to find something to wear. Bra knew that Marron wanted her help, so she gave the look "She will be ready when you pick her up look". Trunks nodded his head as he left. Bra locked the door as she ran to Marron's room.
"Which one?" Marron asked as she pointed to two outfits laying on her bed.
Bra stared the both of them down and pointed to one.
.
.
.
He knocked on the door. Bra gave him the look saying she will be ready, so she better be ready. "It's me Trunks."
"Hold on one minute." Marron shouted as she made sure her hair was perfect. She decided to curl her locks. Her hair was down her mid back and she smiled when she saw herself in the mirror.
She left her bathroom and walked over and opened the door. She smiled when she saw Trunks. He had dress shoes on along with khakis and a blue polo shirt. He even took the time to gel his lavender hair back.
Trunks smirked when he saw the mother of his child opened the door. She looked stunning with the dress on, but even better now. She was wearing a plain royal blue crop top with black high waist jeans. She had her famous black ankle booties on. Her hair was curled to perfection.
"I'm sorry I was making sure my make-up and hair was good." She apologized to him. "You look amazing."
"You don't look too bad yourself." He confessed. He noticed that a small tint of blush came across her face. Trunks watched as she quickly grabbed her purse and a light jacket from the counter. "Ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." She said. He chuckled at her.
"Shall we?" He asked as he placed out his arm so she could latch on to it. She smiled at him as she stepped outside, closed and locked her. She accepted his offer and wrapped her arm around him.
She nodded her head at him, "We shall." And the future parents are off.
.
.
.
"Mom! Dad!" Marron shouted as the two of them came out of their car. The blonde ran over to her parents and gave them a hug. They knew that she was busy with work and she tried her best to keep in touch, but they haven't gotten together in a long time.
18 smirked as she whipped her hair behind her shoulder, "It's good to see you honey." Her mother said causing the blonde to smile.
Trunks walked over causing a grimace from 18 and smile from Krillin. Even though Marron has been good friends with Trunks since they were children, 18 never grew a liking to him. She always thought he was a bad influence on her and acted much like his father.
"Trunks, what brings you out to this neck of the woods?" Krillin asked as he gave him a handshake.
"Well, I actually came here with Marron." He stated slightly nervous as he scratched the back part of his neck.
"So, is the news you need to tell us is that you are dating?" 18 asked as she placed her hands on her hips.
Marron sighed, "Not exactly." She confessed causing her mother to raise her eyebrow at her. "We are just waiting for Bulma and Vegeta."
"This better be good boy!" Vegeta exclaimed as the twenty six year old and Trunks turned around.
"Dad, mom." Trunks said as he walked over to them and gave his mother a hug. He knew that his father wouldn't want a hug.
"I could be training, but I'm forced to be brought out to this blasted outing." Vegeta spat as Bulma smacked him in the back of his head.
She rolled her eyes at him, "Vegeta, let loose for once all right. Trunks sounded pretty serious over the phone, so it is the least you can do." She hissed as she kissed Trunks on the cheek. "How is my son doing?"
A small tint of blush came across Trunks he heard someone giggle amusing it was Marron because it took a lot to make him blush.
"I'm doing well, so why don't we go inside?" Trunks asked breaking the ice. 18 nodded her head as her and Krillin made their way in first followed by Vegeta and Bulma.
Marron walked closer to Trunks, "Stay calm." She muttered, "I know you are nervous, but we can't just tell them right away."
.
.
.
Bulma smiled as the waiter poured a glass of red wine for her. "What about you ma'am, do you want some wine?" The waiter asked as he looked at Marron. She swallowed hard as she placed down her glass of water.
She shook her head no, "No thank you." She said as she got a peculiar glance from her mother. Her mother knew that she always got a glass of wine when they go out for dinner.
The waiter nodded his head as he walked back to get their drinks. "No wine Marron?" Her mother asked.
"Yeah, I'm just trying to drop some weight." Marron lied as she picked up one of the breadsticks at the table and slowly ate it. She knew that her mother would be asking questions all night long, so she is going to have to act confident until they tell the secret.
Vegeta grunted as he looked at Trunks, "So, why are we here boy?"
"Vegeta!" Bulma smacked him in the arm. The parents to be knew that once Vegeta had some food that he wouldn't be as cranky.
"Yeah, why are we here?" Krillin asked slightly curious as he placed his menu down on the table. He grabbed his glass of wine and took a quick sip. "So, Marron dear, why are we here?"
"Waiter!" The blonde and the twenty seven year screamed to get his attention. The two of them looked at each other with the same nervous expression. They knew that tonight was going to be one long night.
18 scoffed as she took a sip of her wine. She wanted to get to the bottom on this. She didn't mind being out with her family, but being out with the Briefs and no explanation made her slightly perturb.
She closed her menu and placed it down on the table. "All right, Marron, Trunks." She started off as she placed her napkin down in her lap. "We all want to know your secret, so why can't you guys tell us you are dating?"
Marron sighed as she looked over at Trunks, "It isn't that easy mom."
"Just tell us Marron." Krillin said as he grabbed a breadstick to munch on for himself.
Trunks nodded his head as he placed the menu down on the table. He sighed, "Mom, dad, Krillin, 18 this information we are going to tell you is hundred percent true. You might be annoyed with what happened, but it is happening whether you like it or not."
"What is it son?" Bulma asked as she reached her hand across the table and grabbed his. She noticed how sweaty his hand was which concerned her because he normally doesn't get nervous.
"As you may know, Trunks and the rest of our friends hang out about every night. And about a month ago when we played poker night we ended up getting drunk." Marron admitted.
"One thing lead to another and we ended up knowing each other a little more than we should." Trunks added.
Their parents were intrigued by their story. The parents to be thought they would have understood on what Trunks meant by.
Vegeta growled, "Just spit it out already!"
"I'm pregnant." Marron confessed. Bulma covered her mouth with her hand. They didn't know if she was excited about that or not. Krillin smiled as he got up and hugged his daughter from the behind. 18 and Vegeta gave each other death glares because they realized now that they are going to family members.
Bulma thought this would be the perfect time to break the ice. Even though she didn't like the current situation, she is happy that she is going to be getting her first grandchild.
"Guys, let's not bug out." She said hoping it would end the death glare between her husband and an old friend. "Yes, we don't like the situation, but it's not like they are teenagers." Bulma announced, "As their family we need to be there for them and not take it out on them. I mean hell, Vegeta and I weren't together when Trunks was born."
"Wait…what?" Trunks asked as he raised his eyebrow.
"As I was saying." Bulma stated as she completely ignored his oldest child's question. "We are their family and we need to be happy for them no matter how angry we are."
18 nodded their head, "Trunks, you aren't too bad, I can't wait for my first grandchild."
Marron smiled at her mom as she stood up and gave her a hug from the behind. Krillin got up and hugged her too.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, "So can we eat now?"
.
.
.
Goten smiled as he slurped down his water, "So, your parents are angry at you, but they are happy for you?" He asked for clarity.
Marron nodded her head, "Yes, Goten for the tenth time they are angry, but happy."
"That's great news to hear." Uub smiled as he took a sip of his beer. "Have you guys seen Bra?"
Trunks shook his head no as he looked down at his watch. He read 10:25. He knew that if she didn't come in the next twenty minutes that they were going to head home.
The blonde sighed as she took a sip of her water, "I wish Bra was here, so she could hear the news."
Bra smirked as she walked into the diner and slide in next to Marron and Trunks. Normally they would pull up a chair, but she didn't.
"Hey, we were just talking about you." Goten said as Uub pushed over his beer towards her.
"No thank you." She said as she pushed it back. "You guys will never guess what I found!" She exclaimed as she searched for her purse and pulled out many photographs. She shoved all of them to her older brother and his eyes grew.
"Bra where did you find these?" Trunks asked as he examined the old photographs that his sister brought.
"Mom was pestering me because she wanted to know your secret, so I hid in her room. I saw a pair of diamond earrings that I liked and found these photos."
Marron looked at the photo Trunks gave her, "Oh my kami, Bra you look just like your grandmother here." Marron pointed out. Bra took the photo out of Marron's hand and smiled.
"Yeah, you are right." She said.
"How old was she then?" The blonde asked out of curiosity.
Bra flipped the photo around to see a date. April 723. "21 or 22" Everyone smiled happily as Bra handed Uub another stack oh photos as she slid out of the booth to get a snack from Yamcha.
Uub smirked, "Guys I got a picture of naked Bra." Bra formed a first in her hand and grunted as she continued to walk to the front counter.
Trunks snatched the photo out his friend's hand, "Actually that was me."
"Mare soon you and Trunks can take pictures like this of your kid." Goten added to the conversation.
Trunks averted his eyes from the photo to look at the blonde. "Yeah, that will be us." Marron smiled at him as she gave the father of her child the biggest hug of his life.
