Chapter 8: Expect the Unexpected
Pan had been sick for a few days, and she didn't know why. She woke up with cold sweats, and nightmares. Vomiting multiple times, and a loss of appetite. To say the least, it had been a long past few days. "I don't feel so good." She said, and then enclosed her hand over her mouth before running to the bathroom. Chi-Chi came upstairs to see if she needed anything, and heard the sound of regurgitation. 'And this is day 5.' She knocked on the door and opened it to see her eighteen year old daughter in a crumpled mess, in a black tank-top, and long pajama pants. Her hair was moved to one side with her hand grabbing hold of it.
But that's not what caught Chi-Chi's full attention. It was the bite mark on the left side of her neck. Pan looked up to see her mother, mouth agape at the sight. "Mom" she mumbled. "Haven't you ever seen a sick person before?" then she rose from the floor, legs wobbling, and went to rinse her mouth out. After about an hour of more sleep, Pan came downstairs, per her mother's instructions.
Everyone was waiting for her at the breakfast table. They were all aware of her being sick, but that didn't stop them from poking fun at her expense. Videl was due with the baby any day, so she and Gohan have been staying over. Pan barley ate anything, the complete opposite of her three plate normal. "You need some rest." Gohan said. "Yeah, you're not looking so good." Goten chimed in. 'No shit.' Chi-Chi pulled her husband to the side, and through her sick haze, Pan could see that she was freaking out on the inside.
"Goku, you have to believe me!" She exclaimed. He didn't seem too worried that his one and only daughter had possibly mated with his friend's son. But his over protective wife couldn't see that. "Chi," he started. "It'll be okay, if they did mate, then that's on them. They obviously care enough, or they wouldn't have gone through the trouble." She looked at him with her eyes wide. She almost couldn't believe that he was actually defending her. "But Goku," she whispered, "do you remember what happened?"
He did remember, but pushed the thought aside. That wasn't the point after all. Then they heard an ear piercing scream from the breakfast table. The two ran in to see Videl doubled over on the ground, clutching her stomach. "I think the baby's coming!" In seconds, the whole house was freaking out. Gohan learned instant transmission years ago from his father, and intended to use it. Pan still felt sick, but she left with everyone in a rush.
Pan couldn't see, nor fly straight, and she didn't know why. With all the thoughts that were in her head it was hard to function. "Goku honey, don't drop me!" Chi-Chi exclaimed. They were all in a rush, Pan and Goten made it a race to town. And Goten being the cheater he is, made sure he won. It only took twenty minutes to get to Satan City hospital, but if they drove, that would've been a full five hours.
"How is she doing?" Goten asked his brother. Gohan already looked stressed when he answered, "Okay, but they didn't give any time frame of her arrival. So, it looks like a waiting game." Hours upon hours had past and Pan wanted…no…needed to get home. 'Even if it was just for a little while.' She couldn't let anyone know that she was vomiting when she wakes up.
"I'll be back later." Pan said getting up from her chair. Her father looked up, "But you can't leave, you might not be back in time." She dismissed the comment and walked from the waiting room. Walking out of the hospital doors, she saw Hercule. "Hey Pan. Where are you going?" She paused and thought for a second, then answered "Home, I think I forget something." He didn't question her, so he responded, "Don't be too long. Okay?" and then walked on into the hospital entrance.
'I might need to go to the pharmacy for medicine first.' She thought as she lifted into the air. After a minute or two of flying in the air, Pan found a decent pharmacy, and entered its doors. She looked down the aisle and didn't find anything. And after a long while of searching, she settled on a magazine, and a little box of some sort.
When she arrived, she collapsed on the couch, and slept for about three hours. The deep sleep that she was finally able to obtain was heaven on earth, considering her condition the past few days. But the seemingly paradise state was short lived, for when she awoke, she rushed to her bathroom. 'I can't keep doing this. I can't keep anything down, and Videls having the baby any minute.' When Pan finally finished, she grabbed the medicine bottle and the little box, and then returned to the bathroom.
Three minutes later, she came out, looking pale, like she was going to pass out. "This can't be happening. No, no, no, it can't be. I've got to be dreaming this." She mumbled. Pan was freaking out. And she only knew of one person who could make her feel better. Pulling out her cell phone, she dialed Trunks' number, hoping he wasn't at work.
"Hello?" he answered. She gulped. The small object in her hand had a plus written on it. "We've got a problem. And I don't know what to do." She began sobbing.
So? How did I do? Was it bad, or was it pretty good? Did you piece the small puzzle together…? I imagine that you did, with my crappy phrasing. Lol Again, I apologize for the delay in updating, I hope I don't do that again for a long while.
