Chapter 16
Trunks was perched on a chair, his eyes wide with shock as he tried to absorb the sight before him. Kibito gave him the sacred water some time ago, and had brought him directly here. He had been sitting in the same unmoving position for a few hours now, watching his mate sleep…Her protruding middle didn't go unnoticed either, and was the exact reason for his stupor! He needed to breathe, he needed air. Forcing his body to obey, he made his way outside.
###
He sighed as he neared the others, finally able to think a bit clearly. He cleared his throat as he acknowledged the Kai's. "Hello…Err…I don't know who you two are?"
"This is Suguro and his son." Kibito replied gesturing to the two.
"Hi Trunks." Suguro greeted.
"You know me?" Trunks knitted his brow in confusion, pointing to himself.
"He watched you fighting on the crystal ball while you were under Baby's control." Old Kai interjected, hastily.
Trunks grinned. "Oh, that makes sense…So, what's happening now?" He walked over to the magical orb to take a closer look.
Old Kai peered over Trunks shoulder, who was now kneeling in front of the orb. "Goku's fighting Baby in his Oozaru form, but he's losing energy fast. Kibito is about to administer the sacred water to the remaining infected Saiyan's on Tuffle." Old Kai acknowledged Kibito, and nodded his consent for him to leave, "while Dende will continue spraying earth from the lookout. We'll take care of the rest on Tuffle once Baby is defeated. You, young man, are to stay here with Pan. She is very close to giving birth?" The Elder Kai explained.
###
Trunks rested his head on the pillow and sighed. He was so confused, and couldn't recall anything after greeting his parent's when he returned from the Grand Tour. However, he could vaguely remember seeing Pan on the rooftop of a building in West City, but no more than that. I guess the parasite was in me so long, that I forgot. Maybe I'll remember something with time…
Pan stirred, turning towards the warmth. "Trunks…" She slowly opened her eyes, meeting a pair of bright blue ones. "I thought you left."
He looked at her perplexed. "I just arrived, and you're…you're pregnant!"
She then realised he was the one who was meant to be here. "Oh Trunks…I've missed you so much, I was so scared that you'd never come back to me." She embraced him firmly, sobbing on his chest.
"Shh…I'm here now," he lulled while gently rubbing her back. He closed his eyes and was flooded with her memories of the past few months. "I travelled back from the future?" He queried intriguingly.
She nodded affirmation, without lifting her head.
"Well, thank Dende! Now all I have to do is wait for your father to kill me, slowly." He scanned her ki, as well as the babies'. "Twins…they're going to be very strong." He prepared himself, to do what his counterpart had done in his absence.
"It's okay Trunks, I'm fine for now…I feel strong enough." She reassured just as he was about to begin.
"Sure…let me know when you need me to do it." He whispered a tad dejectedly.
"Trunks, are you okay? You know, with the future you being here and all."
He sighed, pursing his lips. "It's a lot to take in, but I'm okay with it, as long as you and the babies' are alive and well. To be honest, I'm more shocked to learn I'm going to be a father in three months or less. Don't get me wrong, I'm overwhelmed with joy, this is by far the greatest gift I could ever receive, other than you of course." He kissed her forehead, inhaling her scent. "I love you Pan-Chan, and I will take whatever punishment I'm dealt, because this right here…you and the babies are worth it."
###
Trunks and the others, excluding Pan were watching the fight on Tuffle.
Old Kai suddenly turned to Trunks, who jumped back in surprise. "Goku needs more energy…Trunks you have to go." He then turned to Kibito, "find Bulla as well, give her the sacred water so she can help."
"I can't leave Old Kai! What about Pan?" Trunks countered.
"Pan will be okay. The minute you're done, Kibito will bring you back. Now go!" The elder exclaimed. "This younger generation, so much back chatting and arguing. No respect, I tell you…no respect at all." He muttered.
###
Goku's energy was now fully restored; he was ready to finish the fight. "Thank you guys, I feel completely rejuvenated, and I will not let an ounce of this energy go to waste…Kibito get Trunks back to otherworld…"
"Yes Goku, right away!" Kibito replied.
The four demi-saiyans were sitting to one side, watching in awe as Goku flew toward Baby. They could barely move a muscle, the full blooded saiyan left them with just enough energy to stay alert."
Gohan, however, didn't miss a beat. "What! Why do you have to go to otherworld? By the way, where's Pan, is she okay?"
Trunks felt agitated. Now was certainly not the time to explain the situation to Gohan. "Err…well you see…err…" Oh fuck! What do I say? Do I simply confess? Hey Gohan, I mated your teenaged daughter. And guess what! She's pregnant…with twins! Isn't that exciting! Yes, that would go over well, I'm sure he'll find some reserve energy to kick my ass!
Gohan eyed Trunks suspiciously. The boy looked like he was just caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He looked at Kibito, folding his arms across his chest and frowning. "Where is my daughter? Was she infected by Baby too, did she die?"
"Pan is safe Gohan; I don't want you to fret. All will be explained in due time." Kibito answered, and walked toward Trunks placing a hand on his shoulder. "We have to go, Old Kai is waiting for our return" Kibito winked discreetly at Trunks. Before phasing out, he addressed Gohan again. "I'll be back soon, and will need your help distributing the sacred water once the fight is over. That's a sure way to keep his mind off Pan for now.
"I would love to Kibito" Gohan readily responded, yet he couldn't help feeling that they were concealing something. He glared at Trunks as they were about to leave, and watched as the boy paled. "Yep, they're definitely hiding something." He murmured.
###
Trunks was distressed, he fell to his knees as soon as they reached the Sacred Planet. Everything was happening so fast. He had been under Baby's control for many months, and when he finally got his body back, he's greeted by his very pregnant mate. Not to mention finding out that he had travelled back from the future to save her! Now her father was growing very suspicious, and if he knew Gohan, the man wouldn't rest until he pieced all the missing parts of this puzzle. "Then I'll be a dead man…"
"Trunks, you need to calm down." Kibito rested his hand on the saiyan hybrid's shoulder. "Don't think about her father's reaction now, she needs you more. You need to make sure she's not stressed, it's not good for her to be sensing all these emotions through your bond…it could cause complications. Clear your thoughts, take slow deep breathes. Everything will work out the way it should in the end.
Trunks complied, albeit reluctantly. It was hard not to freak out. He knew this day would eventually fall upon him, it's the reason he tried so desperately to stay away from her. But he loved her so much now, and he would do anything for her. So, if he had to take a beating and die, or worse, let her go…then he would.
###
"Goku did it Pan-Chan!" Trunks exclaimed as he rushed into the room. "Baby has been defeated, there's not a trace of him left! My father is safe too; I really thought Goku would be left with no choice, but to kill him. Yet, he surprised us once again. He truly is an amazing man!" Trunks sat beside her on the bed and kissed her lips softly, rubbing his hands over her belly.
"Oh thank Dende! That's wonderful Trunks, I'm so happy it's all over. When do I get to go home? I am so over feeling nostalgic all the time." She sighed.
He looked at her regretfully. "I'm afraid you'll have to stay up here a while longer."
"Why?"
"Well, Baby used the black star balls again; we need to relocate everyone to Planet Tuffle. Earth has already shown signs of destruction, there is no time to gather all Dende's dragon balls either. The Namekians on Namek are collecting their balls, but it will take some time. In the meanwhile we have to relocate everyone on earth." He sighed heavily. "I have to go down there and help for a while."
"If you're going then I'm going. I'm tired of being cooped up alone in here. I've hardly seen you since you got back, and your future self is no excuse, so don't even go there!"
"I know love, but it won't be for much longer. Old Kai will check on you and you have enough energy for a day or so…I will come back as soon as you need more. I need to help them with the transport Pan; my mother will be piloting the big spaceship. As soon as I've helped the people onto it and to certain other areas for instant transmission, I'll return."
"No Trunks! Please…I don't mean to sound selfish, but I want you to stay with me." She begged.
"Pan-Chan…"
"No! It's not up for debate Trunks, I need you more…"
He smiled slightly, lying down next to her. "Okay, you win…I'll stay with you.
"Is it wrong to want you to make love to me while the earth's about to explode."
He threw his head back in laughter.
She pursed her lips, a light blush forming across the bridge of her nose. "It's not funny; you've been refusing me for months now! I want sex!"
He bit his lip and snickered. "I take it the other me said no too. Well, I guess he really is me then. Panny, as much as I would love to give you what you want. We exert too much ki, even if we go slow, you need every ounce of it if not more."
"That's not fair!"
"Imagine how I feel. I'm a man after all, and I'm turning down sex…what has the world come to? He rolled his eyes, then spread butterfly kisses along her jaw and down her neck. While his hand found its way to her full breasts, squeezing gently. "My, how they've filled out…" He purred.
She moaned gratefully, his touch was soothing against her tender bosom.
He grabbed her lobe between his teeth, sucking it softly, appreciating her soft cries of pleasure. "I have to go, only to inform Kibito that they'd have to go on without me. You know your father's going to be even more apprehensive now. Kibito has been keeping him occupied for the past three weeks, but this will certainly set him off again!"
"I don't care!" she retorted hoarsely. "Hurry up, so we can continue…"
