Two Sides Of The Story: Chapter 10-Decisions
Log: September 29,793
Marron smiled as she put her journal down. "So, you are going to get dinner with Goten, tonight?" She nodded her head, "Does your brother know?"
The twenty-three year old rolled her eyes, "Marron, I'm not a little kid anymore, I can make my own decisions."
"But you have to remember that this is your brother's best friend." She shot back. Bra nodded her head as she walked over to her fridge and grabbed a bottled water. "I know that you are an adult, but Trunks still sees you as thirteen."
The bluenette took a sip of her water, "I know, but he needs to trust me on this."
"I know, but you know how Trunks is." Marron added to the conversation as she took a sip of her green tea.
Bra sighed, "Marron, I get it, but I just need him to understand that a grown up. I mean hell, I held my hair before when I got a drunk at the club."
Marron took Bra's hand, "That takes skill, but just make sure you make the right decisions."
"I will, don't worry."

"Awe that name is so cute." Trunks smiled as he took a sip of his water. It was just him and Marron at the diner alone.
They couldn't talk about this when their friends around. Mainly because they wanted to avoid Uub and his crazy girlfriend.
Marron hated to admit when Goten was right, but he was right. Evie doesn't want Uub to break up with her and she watches him constantly. She is so crazy that she hid a camera in his room. Goten found out, but he didn't know how to tell Uub and Evie threathened him if he told Uub anyway.
"That's the name of our baby Trunks." Marron mumbled, "No changes."
He nodded his head, "I understand. Hey, I got to get work, big meeting. So, I'll see you later?"
"Of course." They both exited the booth as Trunks paid and they both went to work. Well, one went to work.

Bra sprinted into the hospital. She got a call that her older brother was in a car accident. She didn't know what to do, so she called Marron and Marron called Goten, they couldn't get ahold of Uub.
"Where is my brother? Trunks Briefs?" Bra asked frantically as the receptionist searched for his name. Marron made it along with Goten.
The receptionist pointed to the room and Goten and Bra sprinted while Marron waddled her away into his room.
Bra was about three seconds away from punching her brother in the face. "What the hell Trunks! You sounded so damn serious over the phone."
He rolled his eyes, "Bra, I broke my wrist, that's saying something."
Bra looked at Marron and both of them rolled their eyes in unison. "Trunks, what happened?" The blonde asked.
He cleared his throat, "I was in a taxi because I didn't feel like driving and we were chilling in the intersection and out of nowhere we got t-boned by a drunk driver."
Goten was surprised when he heard that, "It's like 11 am on a Tuesday, who's getting drunk at this time."
They all shrugged their shoulders, "Are you going to have to investigate it?"
"Maybe, I might ask my partner." He stated.
Marron nodded her head, "Hey, I'm getting a snack from the vending machine."
"Okay, I'll come with you." Bra followed the mother to be out of the room.
Goten shook his head as he sat on the bed. "So, this car accident wasn't that bad?" He asked. Trunks shrugged his shoulders.
"The taxi cab driver got it worse than me, so I can't say it wasn't that bad." Trunks added to the conversation. "And now I'm going to be out of work for some time."
His best friend didn't know what to do. He thought his life was falling apart. He could tell that his girlfriend was being distant. He feared she met someone down there, but he knew at the same time he wasn't loyal.
"Work was the only thing that was steady in my life." Trunks whined as he laid back down on his bed.
"Trunks, you have endured worst. You had a hole blasted in you when you were thirteen by your dad. You survived it, and you can survive now." His best friend stated which caused a slight smile to form on Trunks' face. "You need a guys' night."
He nodded his agreeing with his statement, "I'll order us some wings, drink a few beers and watch some good action movies."
"That sounds awesome." By this time the girls returned. "Hey, Mare, Goten and I are going to have a guy's night, so is it okay if you stay with Bra tonight."
Bra smiled and nodded her head when he said "Sure, I'm okay with that."
Marron formed a wide grin on her face, "Hey, I need to get back to work. Bra, you want to split a cab?"
She nodded her head, "Yeah, feel better Trunks."
"I hope you feel better, you are going to need that wrist for our baby." Marron walked over to him and kissed his forehead. "I'll see you later."
Both the girls exited the building. Goten looked over at Trunks. "I thought you were going to end it?"
"I don't think those were my exact words." Trunks retorted. His best friend folded his arms and rolled his eyes. "I said…I like her and I will date Lana out of pity for the next couple of months."
He shook his head, "I don't like how you are doing it, and I know you want to give Lana a face to face break up." He sighed, "I just don't know what to say."
"Look Goten, everything is falling apart and I really just need a friend right now." Trunks mumbled. Goten knew by the look of his face that he was upset.
The black haired man nodded and smiled, "I know you do, so let's see if you can be discharged and we are going to have a good time at your apartment."
Nothing made Goten happier than seeing a smile come across Trunks' face, "Thanks."
.
.
.
"So, how long you have to wear that?" Goten asked as he took a bite of the wings.
The both of them looked at the plaster cast that Trunks had on his wrist. "Four to eight weeks. It just depends on how face it will heal." Trunks mumbled as he took a sip of his beer. "Thanks Goten."
"Thanks for what?" He asked shrugging his shoulders.
He sighed, "I'm a mess and I just need you right now and you skipped work to be with your best friend."
"I didn't skip work, I called off and made my partner go in." He confessed. "He has been screwing me over. That's why I have been working more than normal."
Trunks felt something buzz in his pocket. He knew that it couldn't be Marron. She is with his sister. Uub is going to be home in any second and Goten already told him he was hanging out with Trunks, and his mother knows he can't work because of his injury.
He placed his good hand into his pocket and looked at his phone. A smile came across his face. "Lana! How are you? Yes, it was a minor accident. I'm okay, just broke my wrist. Oh, well call tomorrow? No. Okay, bye."
Goten placed down his wings on his plate, "That was the shortest call ever."
He rolled his eyes, "Fuck this. I'm sick and tired of worrying. I should just break up with her now."
"No, face to face?"
"Maybe."

Bra smiled, "So, are you excited? You are going to be a mom in about two months."
The blonde smiled, "Yeah, I still wish the situation was better."
"I don't blame you. Who thought it was going to happen?" She asked.
"If I could just have one wish, is that Trunks and Lana aren't together after the baby is born. I just don't want to be alone." Marron mumbled as she leaned back in her chair. "Is that wrong of me?"
Bra shook her head no. Marron was being completely honest, she was kind of letting stay with Lana. "No, that's not wrong of you. You are being honest."
The blonde nodded her head as she took a sip of her water. "I feel like I would be a bitch if I did that."
"Have you talked to him about it?" She asked.
She sighed. As many times she wanted to bring it up to him, she got scared. She thought that he would kick her out and make her raise the baby by herself. The blonde knew that Trunks wasn't like that, but there is always a chance.
Marron shook her head no, "No, and I don't think I should."
"I'm going to support your decision, but remember you can always tell him how you feel." Bra stated which made Marron still feel uneasy.
"I'll think about it. Right now, all I need is him so we can be parents."

Trunks smiled, "These wings are so good, where did you get them?" He asked.
Goten smirked which caused his best friend to realize he didn't really need to know where he got the wings from. "You know that market where I get the chips from?"
"Sadly, yes."
He chuckled at him as he took a sip of his beer, "Well, there is a place called Wingz and I went there one day and best wings ever."
"You really need to stop exploring random places." Trunks added as he popped another wing in his mouth. "But at the same time, I love these wings, I need to take Marron there."
They were both alerted by that. He would always say, "I need to take Lana here." And everyone would smile because they knew that their relationship was still strong and steady.
"I meant Lana." He corrected himself. He nervously scratched the back of his neck. "How many of these did I have to drink?" He asked trying to change the subject.
Goten shook his head, "You are trying to act like you didn't mean to say Marron, but you did mean it. You really do like her."
Trunks sighed. He knew that he could no longer fight it. "Yeah, I do. She's so beautiful, and it's all wrong."
"Can you still live with her for another two months?" He questioned the father to be.
He nodded his head, "Yeah and if I can't I'll come to you." Goten smiled when he heard those words out come out of his friends mouth. He really did want to be loyal to Lana until they ended their relationship.
The younger demi-saiyan smiled, "Good, and I won't say anything to anyone."
The father to be hoped that Goten would keep his mouth shut about this. He has been keeping his mouth shut which the twenty-seven year old was pleased with.
"Thank you Goten. Just everything, I know this is a lot of information and you are just being greatest friend ever." Trunks praised. He really did need to thank Goten. Whenever he talked to Uub about this, he could just call him a dumbass which he is.
His sister would tell Marron in a heartbeat and his mother would kick his ass if she knew what he was doing. Vegeta wouldn't even listen to him blab about it, so he hasn't brought it up to him at all.
Goten patted Trunks on the back, "Anytime, you are my best friend."

"You know I miss living in this apartment." Marron stated as she reminisce about this place. She recalled when she was twenty-two when she first bought the apartment. Every cent she saved up finally happened.
Bra smiled as she placed a piece of sushi in her mouth. "Yeah, I remember when I used to sneak over here on nights when I got drunk at parties."
Marron smiled as she took a bite of her lean chicken sandwich, "Kami, times were so much simpler for me." She added to the conversation as she took a sip of her water.
The bluenette nodded her head, "Yeah, it was for me too, I was eighteen living the life."
"It's just now with this baby." Marron continued holding her pregnant stomach, "I have another life to take care of and then my issue with Trunks."
She looked over at her best friend, "What issue with Trunks?"
"The same thing Bra." She hissed slightly. "I just want this baby to pop out…oh my kami!"
Bra looked concerned, "What's wrong?"
"Just take me to the hospital now!" Marron hollered in pain as they both exited the youngest demi-saiyan apartment.
.
.
.
"So, no lady's tonight." Goten said as he took his phone and placed it to the side. Trunks was about to turn his phone off, but he got an urgent text from his sister say to come to the hospital. "What's wrong?"
He looked up at him, "My sister sent a text to come to the hospital."
The two of them looked at each other and scrambled out the apartment, so they were able to make it to the hospital.
The two had the same time on their mind, "Why do we need to come to the hospital."
.
.
.
Trunks and Goten entered from the front door and Bra sighed in relief when she saw the both of them. "You guys made it." She said as her older brother walked over and gave her a hug.
"Yeah, yeah, we made it, where's Marron?" Goten and Trunks said in unison as the father to be let go of his little sister.
"She's with a doctor, we were both hanging out and she hissed "Oh my kami" and she said take me to the hospital now." Bra explained to both of them. Goten nodded his head and the oldest demi-saiyan sighed.
"Oh shit, what does this mean?" He asked sounding upset as Bra shrugged her shoulders. She didn't know what it meant and she wished that she did.
Trunks turned around and he saw Marron. "Marron!" He screamed as she waddled over with the doctor. "You okay?"
The doctor stepped in, "She is fine, just Braxton hicks contractions. She is just fine." He stated.
"That sounds painless." Goten added to the conversation.
Marron glared at him as she rolled her eyes at him, "No uterus, no opinion." She retorted as he put his hands up in defense.
The doctor chuckled, "Here is a pamphlet about the ending of pregnancy and I know you guys will be excellent parents." He handed Trunks the pamphlet and Marron smiled when she heard those words come out of his mouth.
Trunks gave her a quick hug, "I'm glad that you are okay."
Uub ran into the front doors and saw his friends standing in the lobby. "I got your text Bra." He mumbled as he was out of breath.
"Damn, did you run all the way here?" Goten asked as everyone was able to notice how sweaty he was. He nodded his head as he took a sit in one of the chairs that were provided. "Marron's fine."
"That's good." He added as he continued to be wheezy.
.
.
.
Both Marron and Trunks walked into their apartment. After their little trip to the hospital, they both wanted to stay home.
"I'm sorry if I ruined guys' night." She stated, "I know with not working, no Lana, your wrist you just needed a day of fun."
"I had fun." Stated Trunks as he opened up the pamphlet and started to read the first page.
Marron took a seat right next to him as he focused his attention on reading. "I'm worried about you."
He closed the pamphlet and placed it down on the coffee table. "And why are you?"
"You are stressed because Lana isn't calling, you only have one wrist, and no working." She added to the conversation.
He knew that she was right about everything and he just wanted to be strong. He didn't know what to say to her and he thought he would tell her the full truth once he ends things with his girlfriend.
"I appreciate you worrying about me, but I'm fine." He got up and kissed her forehead. "I had a long day, so I'm going to bed. Have a goodnight."
She sighed in defeat, "Goodnight Trunks." She said as he walked to his bedroom.
