Thank you so much for all the reviews.
Chapter 12
"Pan…" Goku tried to wake her gently. He was worried about her, she was losing energy fast. I never thought about what would happen if she had twins, although one baby would have also drained her energy…just slower. I completely forgot about Pan's pregnancy after finding out Baby had taken over Earth. She must've felt so scared and alone. I have to find a way to free Trunks, or we may lose Pan and the babies. "Pan, honey wake up," he whispered.
Pan stirred, feeling very weak. She opened her eyes slightly. "Grandpa, is that you?" she asked weakly. "I thought you were lost."
"It's me Pan; I found a way out of Suguro Space."
"Thank goodness, we need to defeat Baby now so that Trunks can be here when the babies are born. I'm hiding here because Baby knows I mated Trunks."
"Don't worry Pan, Baby will never find you. You must remember not to trust Trunks if he tries to contact you through your bond. How are you feeling?"
"I'm ok, just tired. I need Trunks, Grandpa."
"I know Pan, Old Kai has a plan. I don't know what it is yet, but I'm sure it will work!"
"Well, what are you waiting for?! Pan exclaimed. "I'm going back to sleep now ok?" Before Goku could reply, she was out.
He covered her shoulders with the blanket noticing her baby bump and left her to rest.

"How long has she been like that?" Goku asked the Supreme Kai.
"About a month now, she hasn't been eating much and she sleeps most of the time." Kibito replied.
"When are the babies supposed to be due?"
"Four more months, eight months is usually full term for Saiyan babies, but because she's carrying twins it may be sooner than that."
"Pan will not make it! At the rate she's losing energy, I would give her two more weeks at most." Old Kai interrupted. "We don't have time to waste Goku, let's get to work!"
"How can I concentrate on training now, old man? You can't tell me that and expect me to let it go; we need to find a way to help her!"
"I'm sorry Goku, there's not much we can do. I know it sounds harsh but earth's entire population is in danger. What would Pan want you to do?' Old Kai asked.
"She would want me to save Trunks. Why can't I give her some of my energy?"
"She needs her mate Goku, or someone with a similar energy signature to his."
"I see, so if Vegeta or Bulla were around they may have been able to help her." Goku sighed. "What's the first step in my training, so I can defeat Baby and save my granddaughter?"

Goku never thought grinding coffee manually could be so arduous. He decided not to ask the old man why this was necessary, because he would just scream at him and he didn't like being yelled at. He couldn't concentrate though; his attention was divided between keeping tabs on Pan and the New Tuffle Planet where Baby had set up base. Pan was very weak and Goku could barely sense her, but the babies were getting stronger. What's that, he thought concentrating on the Tuffle Planet; that's Uub! Old Kai, what's happening?"
Old Kai had been watching his crystal ball as events unfolded on Planet Tuffle. He turned to Goku. "Videl and Gohan had Mr Satan cornered. They nearly killed him, but Uub showed up just in time. He's fighting them now."
Goku stopped what he was doing to look at the crystal ball. "I can't believe Uub managed to escape Baby's implantation, and it looks like he's actually holding his own against those parasites."
"I'm afraid it won't be for long though, Baby will probably step in soon and he's much stronger. Keep grinding Goku, I never told you to stop!"
Goku grumbled, but complied. "I don't see the point in grinding coffee when I should be down there helping them!"
"You're not ready yet, now stop complaining and put your back into it!"

"Pan, are you awake? I brought some fruit and water. You have to try and eat something." Kibito-Kai coaxed gently as he sat on a chair next to the bed. He had gone to get a little capsule house at Pan's Earth home as per her instructions.
"Thank you Kibito," Pan replied, trying to sit up against the pillows.
"Here let me help you up."
"Thank you…." She nibbled on some grapes. She didn't have an appetite, but ate anyway to avoid any lectures from the Kai. "I'm getting worse, right?"
"I'm afraid so Pan. The babies are draining your energy too fast; it won't be long now."
"Can you save them?"
"I'm sorry, they are still too young to survive if you…"
Pan choked on a sob, holding her hand over her swollen belly. She was barely four months pregnant, but she loved her babies so much already and could feel them moving inside of her. Trunks, I wish you were here my love. I'm so sorry I wasn't able to do this on my own. "Is there no way to restore my energy?"
"No, you need your mate or someone closest to his energy signature."
"Is that how Grandma and Uncle Goten survived? Because Papa was there when Grandpa died?"
"Yes…"
"Do you think Grandpa will be able to defeat Baby in time?"
"I certainly hope so…" Kibito paused, someone was calling him and this person was in a secluded forest on earth. It can't be. I'm still sensing him on the Tuffle planet under Baby's control too. "I'm sorry Pan but I have to check on something real quick, please try and finish your fruit."
"Is everything ok Kibito?" Pan asked worriedly. "Is it Grandpa?"
"Everything is fine. Don't worry, I'll be back to check on you later." He reassured her and teleported down to earth.
"Trunks?!"
"Hello, Kibito-Kai…"
