Two Sides of The Story: Chapter 13-Baby Shower!
Log: November 23, 793
"Where are the pigs in blankets?" Bulma asked as she screamed in the headset. "I need appetizers until the main course lunch is ready!" She stormed away and Marron grimaced slightly.
She turned and waddled over to her best friend who was talking to her boyfriend. "So, I see why you said for your mom not to help out."
Bra nodded her head, "I have to make sure my dad doesn't find out that I'm dating Goten cause I don't want his top to blow."
"You still haven't told ?" Shemhe questioned quietly not to bring any attention to them. "You guys have been dating for a couple of months."
Bra nodded her head and sighed, "Yes, I know, but I don't want daddy to be mad."
"I don't think he will just be just mad. I don't know how he will react." Marron explained. She felt someone brush up against her and she turned around. "Trunks, I started to feel that you weren't going to show up."
He sighed, "I was closing a deal with a client. And they keep going on and on." He stated. "Where's my mother? I want to tell her the good news!"
"Romeo, I told you not to make sea food because Marron can't have it!" She screamed in her headset and looked over clipboard. "We need to everything to be perfect." She said as appeared in the foyer again.
"I think I should tell her later on." Trunks admitted. The bluenette smiled when she saw her son. She sees him at work all the time, but seeing him relax was different.
She took her headset off, "Hello my son!" Bulma smiled when as she walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"Mom, good news, we made the deal." Trunks said which cause a smile to form even wider on her face.
"I would love to stay and chat, but I have to get back to my headset and clipboard." The mother of Trunks and Bra said as she put the headset back on her head. "We are starting this baby shower in ten minutes! We need everything to be perfect!"
Marron sighed, "I wish my mom got everything together." She confessed.
"Is your mom here?" Trunks asked.
The blonde nodded her head, "Yes, she and may dad are outside with the rest of the z-fighters who showed up."
"Who showed up?"
"Yamcha, Chi-Chi, and Goku. It was last minute and I wasn't expecting everyone to show up anyway." Marron stated. "But your mom told me she got us a lot of stuff which I don't know if I should be happy about."
Trunks knew that his mother was going to go over the top for this. Reasons why he never wanted to have a baby shower in the first place. He wanted to just buy the rest of the things and then maybe ask his mom for help. But he wanted to Marron to be happy too.
The father to be was just about to respond to Marron, but he felt his phone vibrate in his pants pocket. He pulled his phone out and he couldn't believe on who was calling him. "Lana, is this really you?" He mumbled as he walked away from his baby mother.
Bra walked over to Marron, "So, what's going with them? I haven't heard Trunks mention Lana's name in months."
Marron shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, with him going back to work, I haven't been able to keep up with him anymore."
"Are you going to tell him?" Bra whispered so that Goten or anyone could hear.
"I want too, but I'm not too sure exactly when I should do it." The blonde confessed.
Bra nodded her head stating that this was a difficult. Who knew that Trunks was going to get his long time best friend pregnant and then get a girlfriend? And Marron having feelings for Trunks makes it ten times more difficult because he still has his girlfriend.
"It might slip out after your done with labor." Bra stated.
Marron looked at her confused, "Why do you say that?"
"You are going to be all hormonal. I'll be in the room with you when he is in there to make sure you don't slip something." Bra added to conversation.
"Thank you. Thank you for being such a good friend these last months." Marron said.
Bra smiled at placed her hand on her the blonde's shoulder. "I'll always be here."
"Marron! Trunks! It's noon where are you?!" Bulma shouted.
"I guess that's my cue to leave. I'll see ya in a few." Marron mumbled as she waddled over in the direction that Bulma called her name.
Trunks sighed heavily realizing that he had to end his conversation with his girlfriend. Her told her goodbye and ended the call. He made his over to his mother.
"Yes, mother." Trunks asked slightly bitter. That was the first time that Lana called him in a couple weeks. He understands that she is busy, but he still felt that something was up with her. And he will be getting his answer soon because she will be coming back a week after Marron's due date.
She smiled at the both of them. "Shit, only if your sister and Goten were in this room, but it is fine."
"I mean we can call them over." Marron suggested, but Bulma rejected that idea because she wanted to get this started. The party was only going to be a couple of hours, so they needed to stay close to schedule.
"We have Marron Chestnut and Trunks Briefs." Bulma stated, "Even though they are having this baby out of wedlock, this is our family. They are both talented strong independent adults and we know they are able to conquer parenthood and raise their daughter well. I know they can, and you guys know they can to." She continued.
Trunks noticed that Marron started to tear up. He knew that her hormones were slightly all over the place, but he knew that she couldn't believe that in just a short three weeks, their baby daughter was going to be here.
Bulma looked at her son and Marron, "Cheers to Marron's baby shower!" Bulma shouted which caused both Marron's parents to smile along with the few guest that showed up.
Marron didn't mind that not a lot of people showed up because she wanted people who she is truly close to come. Not some people who she lost contact with. And they would probably only come because of Trunks.
"We have appetizers and the full course lunch meal should be ready in about an hour." Bulma concluded as she left the two parents in front of their guest.
18 got up from her chair and walked over to her daughter, "I told you that nine months was going to go by fast."
Marron nodded as her mother was correct about that, "Yeah, it for sure did. I really can't believe that I'm going to be a mother."
18 stood next to her daughter and rubbed her back, "You will be a great mother, don't have your doubts. Anyway, you have your hospital bag ready?"
"Yes, we have had ready for a couple of months. When we were locked into the apartment for a few weeks." Trunks stepped up. He saw his baby mother's mom nod her head.
"You guys will do just fine." She said which caused Trunks to smile. He did feel slightly anxious about being a parent, but he didn't want to tell anyone. He wanted to be strong because it will keep Marron from panicking.
"Thank you, Mrs. Chestnut." Trunks thanked her.
She smiled, "Call me 18, Trunks. Well, I'm going to get some food before your saiyan appetite take over." She walked away from her daughter and Trunks.
"I think she finally warmed up to you." Marron smiled as she nudged him in the shoulder.
Trunks felt happy that she finally warmed up to him, "Yeah, I'm glad that she did."
Even though Trunks has known Marron since they were little kids, her mother did not like him. Mainly after the incident when they were children and Marron was afraid of heights, he took Marron on the flight and she was so scared she passed out. He knew that he wasn't going to warm up to her anytime soon after that.
And he for sure thought she was going to kill him when she found out that he impregnated her only daughter. Her allowing the eldest Briefs sibling to call her by her name made him feel as if he was part of her family.
"Let's get some food, I'm starving and eating for two." Marron mumbled as she dragged her baby father to the dining area.
Trunks smiled softly as he seemed that everything that peaceful in his life. His smile soon faded when he bumped into a presence. "Uub! You made it!" He said as he felt Marron's grip loosen.
His good friend nodded his head, "Yeah, I'm sorry I am late. I was out picking up some flowers for my girl."
"You guys got into a fight last night?" Trunks asked as he raised his eyebrow at him.
"Yeah, women can be difficult man." He confessed as they both started to walk over to the dining area.
Trunks nodded his head, "Trust me, I know." He said as grabbed his first plate.

Trunks understood on why Marron suggested that he didn't have to come and he could have a guys' night with Goten and Uub. He was slightly bored. They were playing some baby bingo game.
He was happy at the fact that guest that did show up brought the last things that him and Marron needed. Marron wanted a breast pump, a diaper genie, a stroller, and just some toys that the baby could play with.
"So, have you guys decided on a name?" Goku asked.
The parents looked at each other and nodded their heads, "Yeah, but we want to keep it private for personal reasons."
Everyone sighed in disappointment, "We really want to know." Goku confessed with the sad puppy eyes.
"Damn, that's probably where Goten got that puppy eyes from." Trunks thought to himself as he rolled his eyes at his dad's longtime rival/best friend.
Marron nodded her head, "I know you guys want to know, but you guys will find out in three weeks." Marron added to the conversation. "I know you guys may say, "I don't like that." But this is Trunks and I's decision, not yours."
He sighed heavily because he knew that the soon to be parents were right, "I guess that you are right."
Marron smiled when she heard her father's long time best friend say that, "I'm glad that you are able to understand."
Vegeta appeared for a split second to grab something to eat. "The name of our daughter starts with a V." Trunks added to the conversation.
The father of Trunks and Bra raised his eyebrow when he heard that. "So, what you are saying that you are naming your offspring Vegeta Jr?" He asked.
As much as the blonde wanted to start laughing, she didn't want Vegeta to do something to her that she would have regretted. "No, it's a female's name."
He shook his head as he grabbed as much as he could and left. "Give me a break." He didn't want to be there in the first place, but Bulma did promise if he wanted to get some food at any time during the shower he was welcomed to appear.
Once he was out of the room, Marron giggled slightly at him, "Vegeta hasn't changed." She muttered.
"Yeah, he is still the same old Vegeta." Bulma added. "So, do you want to open presents or play some baby games?"
The blonde shrugged her shoulders, "Trunks, you decide!" She said with a huge smile on her face.
"What kind of games?" He asked quietly causing his baby mother to start laughing hard at him.
"All right, I think Trunks and I should open up the presents at home and we should play games."

Trunks hated to admit someone else was right, but he must admit that Marron was right and he could have just stayed at home and have a guys' night with both Goten and Uub. He was really bored playing the games that his mother had come up with.
He can't lie, they were pretty creative, he was just bored out his mind. The first game that his mother had to play was this diaper game. Everyone got a diaper made out of cloth and if the diaper had beans in it. The person won a prize.
Currently, they are a playing a game called "baby" so they are not allowed to say baby and if someone hears another person say baby. They are able to take their clothes pin. And whoever who has the most pins at end of the game, wins. Marron agreed this was boring and that she was going to dip saying she was "tired" and wanted to go home.
Yes, Bulma threw a lovely shower even though it was slightly boring.
"I miss my baby." Bra stated as she sat down next to her big brother.
He smiled triumphantly, "Thank you for your pin." He said as he grabbed the pin off of her blouse.
She rolled her eyes, "Should I tell mom and dad that I'm dating Goten?" She asked.
"You want dad to suffer from his first heart attack?" Trunks asked in a very serious tone. They both knew that their father would not react well if they found out his precious daughter is dating his rival/best friend.
She sighed heavily knowing that her big brother was right, "I'll come up with a way, but I'm not sure on what that is right now."
"I know you will baby sister, I have faith in you." He said as he gave her a hug.
Marron smiled, "I need a clothes pin, Trunks." She said as she held her hand out for Trunks to place it in her hands.
He chuckled slightly at himself as he took one off and gave it to Marron. "How are you?" He asked. "I haven't seen you in some time."
She sat down next to Trunks, "Dear lord everyone wants to talk to me about some shit. I'm getting annoyed and I just want to go home." She stated honestly.
Trunks nodded his head, "Why do you just tell my mother that? I think she would let us leave." He suggested. "I want to get home too, it's really dry right now."
Marron nodded her head as she struggled slightly to get herself up from the couch. "I'm going to go talk to Bulma." The blonde said, but before she could waddle to go find her, she came up by them.
"Hey, you guys look slightly bored." Bulma confessed slightly upset. "Marron, are you okay?" She asked.
"No, I just kind of want to go home." She stated which caused Bulma to nod her head.
"Yeah, that's how everyone feels too, I was coming over to say we are ending the party early. Your dad ended up getting food poisoning, so we are sending everyone home." She said causing everyone to nod their heads.
"Is my dad okay?" She asked.
Bulma nodded her head, "Yeah, he is and he should feel better in a couple of days. If you guys need help loading the gifts into Trunks' car just let me know."
Trunks and Marron nodded their heads as the smiled with slight joy. "Bulma, thank you for throwing me a baby shower, I really appreciate it."
This time Bulma smiled, "No problem Marron."

Trunks looked at Marron as she sat down on the couch, "So, do we have everything now?" He asked as he took a seat down next to her.
"No, we don't." Marron said which caused Trunks to sigh heavily.
"What are we missing Marron?" He asked slightly upset. "I gave the exact list to my mother on what we needed and everything."
The blonde couldn't help but chuckle at him. "We are missing our healthy beautiful daughter." Marron said.
When the father to be heard those words came out of Marron's mouth he relaxed a little bit. "Yeah, you are right about that. I can't wait for her to be here." He responded to her.
"Me too. We have three weeks left. I know those weeks are going to go by fast too." Marron confessed.
He nodded his head and agreed with her, "You are right about that. I'll have my phone and my pager, so incase my phone dies, I still have my pager."
Marron nodded her head and smiled, "And I know Lana is coming back too, so if you want to be with her for a few days I'll be fine by myself."
Trunks sighed, he wanted to tell her the truth, but she will find out in a couple of weeks. "Yeah, I'll think about it."
She smiled at him as she struggled slightly to get up from the couch, "I'm going to head to bed, have a goodnight and thank you for coming."
A/N: Thank you guys who all of the reviews and the couple of birthday wishes that I got. I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. If I miscounted the weeks please let me know because I changed my draft around and messed some of it up.
