Two Sides of the Story: Chapter 17-First Day at home with Vee
Log: December 16, 793
After a couple of days of being in the hospital Marron and Vee were both discharged. Both Trunks and Marron felt trapped in that room. They barely had alone time because the nurses were teaching Marron how to breastfeed. And many close friends came to visit Marron and meet Vee.
Trunks sighed as he pulled the car up to the front to the hospital. This will be the first time they were going to be alone with their daughter.
Goten wheeled Marron out on a wheelchair as she held their new baby daughter in her hands.
"Now, good luck with the baby you crazy kids." Goten said as he stopped right in front of Trunks' car.
Marron smiled at her long time best friend "Thank you 'Ten, I really appreciate it." He helped the blonde up from the wheelchair and into Trunks' car.
"Hey, Trunks, you got the car seat?" Marron asked before he pulled off. He nodded his head and Marron turned her head to the back seat and saw it. She smiled as she put her baby daughter into the car seat and strapped her in.
"Are you ready?" Trunks asked.
The blonde nodded her head and Trunks put the car in drive and the family of three was off. Trunks made sure that he was driving the car with tinted windows and he had found a special entrance and exit so the paparazzi will not find them.
"So….." Trunks trailed off.
"Sooooo…?" Marron mimicked Trunks but with more a curious tone in her voice.
"That kiss that happened the other day. I am really sorry about that Mare." He confessed as he looked at her for a split second. "I don't know what came over me."
Marron chuckled slightly, "You don't have to apologize at all Trunks." Marron said. "I feel that day was too special and we wanted to feel special too."
Trunks nodded his head as he turned his attention back to the road, "Are you sure?" He asked. He did not tell her that he is freshly single. He doesn't know how she is going to react that Lana came here to break up with him. He is also hoping to ignore the question about Lana for sometime.
When he gets the chance he will tell Goten what happened between him and Lana. He does not have the heart to tell Marron at the moment. After the kiss that they had a couple days ago, he did not know where his relationship will stand with her.
The blonde nodded her head, "Of course. I mean I do feel guilty because you have a girlfriend." She said.
Trunks swallowed hard and chose to ignore Marron's statement. "You ready to take care of our baby alone?" He asked changing the subject.
Marron smiled, "Yes. I know we had help for the last few days, but I think that we can do it."
Trunks turned the car into the special parking lot that he found. "We will. We read all the baby books and if not my mom is on speed dial and I know she will come over in a heartbeat."
Marron smiled, "Yes, but thinking about Bulma taking care of our daughter slightly scares me."
The father of Marron's child chuckled softly because his mom is a bit obsessive and scary at times. He can recall times when he was younger and his mother was raising him and Bra.
"Do you need help getting out of the car?" Trunks as he stepped out of the car.
The blonde looked at him, "Yeah, I think so, could you possibly carry Vee in?" She asked.
Trunks nodded his head as he made his way over to the passenger seat. He opened the door and gave a lending hand to Marron.
Marron read that her body would talk a slight toll after giving birth. She noticed she received some of her strength back, but she still felt weak.
"Thank you Trunks." She said with a smile on her face as she took his hand and he assisted her to her feet.
She closed the passenger side door as Trunks opened the passenger side back door to get his daughter.
"How did you manage to find this parking lot?" Marron asked once Trunks once he got their daughter out of the car.
He closed the door and made eye contact with the blonde, "Oh, when I was gone from work, I got bored. So, one day I went on a walk and I found this parking lot."
Marron nodded her head, "I see, this parking lot is really saving us from the paparazzi." She confessed as they both started walking toward the door.
He smiled, "Yes, I don't want people to think I am some cheating man whore. And I think my mother would catch a heart attack seeing our face in the tabloids again."
Marron could not help herself but giggle a little bit. It seemed so long ago they were caught by the paparazzi and now they actually have their daughter. Even though she looks more like Marron, they will be able to notice some of Trunks' facial features within her.
"I don't think anyone would want Bulma to suffer from a heart attack." Marron mumbled as Trunks opened the door for Marron.
The new father shook his head no, "I would not want my mother to stress anymore. So, we need to stay on the lowkey."
Marron nodded her head agreeing with him, "Yes. Maybe we can get your chauffeur to drive us if we need to go together."
Trunks chuckled once they reached their floor, "I haven't used my chauffeur in years, but I don't think he would mind."
The blonde smiled, "Now, since Vee is still asleep we can get some peace and quiet." Marron mumbled before she opened the door.
The both of them were surprised to what they saw. "Mom, what are you doing here?" Trunks asked rather surprised as he handed the baby carrier over to Marron.
"I'm here to benefit you both. You guys will get 8 weeks of me!" She cheered.
The two of them looked at each other and swallowed hard. They were not expecting to see Bulma, but they aren't surprised that she would not do something like this.
"I'm going to put Vee in her crib." Marron said as she fled the room to see Trunks alone with his mother.
"I can stay on the couch, don't worry and I think it will be nice that we can carpool to work a little bit." Bulma said as she pulled a capsule out of her back pocket and tossed it in mid air to reveal a suitcase.
Trunks walked closer to his mother. He was twenty-eight years old, he and Marron can handle raising their infant daughter.
"Mom, as nice as this is, I don't think we need you." Trunks muttered softly and quickly because he did not know what his mother's reaction to this statement would be.
Bulma stopped placing her blanket on the couch and faced her oldest child. Trunks could tell by the stern look in her eyes she is not content with what he said.
Her stern look turned into a chuckle, "Stupid boy, you have no idea what it is like to raise a child. I'm helping you."
"Your momma's angel." Marron cooed her daughter. She didn't want to leave her side. The main reason why she is taking so long.
The blonde smiled at her daughter. She had a feeling that Trunks needs her. Marron carefully placed her sleeping daughter into the crib, grabbed the another baby monitor and exited her daughter's room.
The new mother made her way towards the front of the apartment when she heard "Stupid boy, you have no idea what it is like to raise a child." Marron swallowed hard. "Oh crap."
"Mom, I know you didn't have the help when it came to raising me, but I think Marron and I got it." Trunks started to say. "If you want to stop by and visit to babysit, that is perfectly fine. But I'm not too sure we need you."
Bulma nodded her head and realized she should have at least talked with Trunks before she made her grand announcement that she was staying with them when they made it home from the hospital.
"Why don't you spend the night?" Marron suggested as she appeared into their conversation. "We appreciate you wanting to help." Marron added emphasis on appreciate and help and looked at Trunks cause she did not have to do this. "You are already here and maybe you can give us some pointers."
Bulma nodded her head as Marron came closer to the mother and son duo. "You do make a good point, I am not positive on how Vegeta will react to be coming back early."
Trunks rolled his eyes, "Dad will get over it, but I'm glad that you understand." He saw his mother smile and she gave him a hug.
"I'm sorry that I called you stupid." She apologized as she wrapped her arms around her son's muscular body.
He did not want to hug her back because he was slightly infuriated with her cause she came into his apartment without his consent and made a decision to help them when they did not ask for it. But a smile came across his face and he hugged her back. He realized on how important it is to have a caring mother.
"Don't apologize mom because you did not have to do this and I appreciate having you around." Trunks said as they released from their hug. Bulma smiled wide when she heard her son say those words to him.
"So, is baby Venus sleeping right now?" Bulma asked as she looked at both parents. Marron nodded her head. "All right, have a goodnight. You guys are going to be tired, so when she is sleeping you guys should be sleeping."
The parents nodded their heads and they made it way to their bedrooms.
"Marron." Trunks whispered softly, so that his mother would not hear him call her name.
She turned on her heel and faced the father of her daughter, "Yes, Trunks?" She questioned him slightly concerned.
"I need to tell you something." He said, "Follow me." She was confused on why he could not tell her right here, but it must be secretive if he did not want his mother to know.
He opened the door to his bedroom and Marron followed in after him, he closed the door. "What's wrong Trunks?" She asked.
"This might sound weird, but would you be okay if I go out with Goten tonight? We won't stay out too late, he said he needed to talk to me about something. I think it has to do with him and Bra."
The blonde nodded her head cause she understood on why Trunks asked to come into his room. Bra would kill Trunks if he accidently spilled her biggest secret to their mother.
"Yeah, that's fine, I have your mother here and I'll make up some excuse non-work related." Marron added to the conversation which caused Trunks to smile slightly.
"Thank you, Marron!" He said as he walked over to her and gave her a hug. "You are the best."
She smiled when she heard those words come out of his mouth. She hugged him back. "Well, I am going to go take a nap in my room. So, let me know when you are planning on leaving."
Trunks nodded his head agreeing with Marron because he knew that was fair. Marron turned on her heel and walked over to the door and opened it up and went to her room to sleep.
"That was slightly weird." The blonde mumbled to herself as she made it to her room and closed the door. She thought that she would be the one acting funny, but that's all Trunks.

A couple of hours went by and both Trunks and Marron were up. "I miss my baby." Marron said as she emerged from her room.
"Well, good evening sleepy heads." Bulma said when she heard their footsteps.
The blonde rolled her eyes as she walked over to Bulma who had Vee in her crib. "Awe, she is so precious!" She said. Marron looked at her watch and realized that it was time for her to eat. "I'm going to take Vee to the kitchen to breastfeed her."
Bulma nodded her head along with Trunks. Marron picked up her baby and made her way to the kitchen.
"Hey, mom, I know this is Vee's first night home, but Goten texted me because he needed to talk to me about something important in person." Trunks put the emphasis on "in person", so she would understand.
His mother nodded her head, "Did you run this by with Marron?" She asked. "What happens if Marron had plans tonight?"
Trunks rolled his eyes because he had some slight feeling his mother would do this. "I did and she said that is was fine. I just wanted to let you know."
"Have fun son, and don't be out too late cause I'm not going to help out much tonight."
Trunks nodded his head as he grabbed his jacket and keys and left.

"So, what's wrong Trunks?" Goten asked as the both of them entered the diner and made it over to their favorite booth.
"I need you to keep this secret, please do not tell anyone!" Trunks hissed because he knows that Goten can not keep a secret at all. There are times when he can, but he really needs him to keep this one a secret.
His best friend nodded his head, "Okay, I promise I won't say a damn word to anyone. What's the secret?"
Trunks sighed hard this was going to be a lot information and he did not know if Goten would be able to handle all of it. "So, Lana came to the hospital to break up with me."
When the younger demi-saiyan heard those words come out of Trunks' mouth he felt his eyes pop out of his skull. "You are lying to me."
Trunks shook his head no, "No, I wish I was. She told me a personal secret that I probably shouldn't say because it isn't my business to tell, but I can tell you she didn't want to do it."
"Why do you say that?" He questioned his best friend as he raised his eyebrow at him.
"The way she sounded. She sounded so hurt, but I really wish that I could have told her the truth, I wasn't too loyal to her." Trunks added to the conversation.
"I get what you mean, but sometimes it is best to leave certain things unsaid." Goten chriped.
Trunks nodded his head agreeing with what his best friend told him, "And on top of that, Marron and I kissed the day Vee was born."
"Does Marron know you and Lana broke up?" Goten asked.
"I don't have the heart to tell her at the moment. She is all hormonal and I need to stay sane for the moment." Trunks admitted. "I'll tell her, but I need to by myself and focus if I really want Marron."
"What the hell Trunks?" Goten shouted in the diner causing unwanted attention. "You basically said that you wanted Marron so damn bad that you were almost willing to cheat on your ex-girlfriend. And you are saying this shit now?"
"I know, I know, but I don't want to play Marron. She means a lot to me and honestly me being in a relationship is not ideal for me." He confessed. "Yes, I have feelings for Marron, but I need my life to be steady before I want another relationship. Marron just had our baby, I need to adjust to work and being a great father to my daughter."
Goten nodded his head, "I can respect that and as much as I want to slap you across the face for being a bonafide dumbass, I got to support you."
"Thank you Goten. And please do not tell anyone." He reminded him one more time.
Goten chuckled at Trunks, "Don't worry I won't."

Trunks returned to his apartment no later than 10 pm. He did not want to be out too late where Marron is freaking out and he does not want to get an ear full from his mother. He heard a slight cry and decided to go check up on his daughter.
"Hey, baby girl, don't worry I am here now." He said as he went to her crib and picked her up. "Oh kami you need your diaper change, don't worry your mother and I will always be here for you." Trunks mentioned as he made his way over to the changing table.
From behind the door, Marron overheard what Trunks said to their baby daughter and she smiled. As long as Trunks is with her, she will do just fine raising their daughter.
A/N: Since I am on thanksgiving break, I decided to upload a chapter for you guys. I know it's has been a minute since I have uploaded and I know you guys deserved it. I am debating whether or not I will upload another chapter between the next few days, but it really depends if I complete the final chapter. Yes, after this chapter there is three more chapters. There will be a new story called "Breathe" and I will let you guys know that will be my final story written. I do not have the time as I used to. I will still be reading fanfiction, but writing will be on hold. If I have more time within my junior year of college, I'll consider writing one-shots, but for now, "Breathe" will be my last story. I hope you guys understand. Leave a review and let me know what you guys think!
