I've come to the final thought. This chapter will be on the same day as the last one. I hope you enjoy! I think you'll love it. :)

Chapter 11: Coming Clean

It was a somber place, after the potential fight had stopped. Goten swore to Hell, that he would officially beat Trunks for what he'd done. The celebration was not much of a celebration at all.

Pan was becoming a new mom; Videl had just become a mom. And both ChiChi and Bulma were caught in the middle. Goku saw the gears turning in his wife's head… she was truly enjoying this. All the while Trunks became more and more nervous because of the looks he had received. He and Pan were fidgeting in their seats, almost waiting for another outburst from the family.

It was nearing dinner hour when Gohan let everyone see Videl and the twins. It was bound to cheer everyone up, and out of the bad mood. Pan and Trunks were hand in hand toward the small room. It was packed tight with flowers and "congratulations" balloons, and there, in the middle of it all: a tired new mother, and pink and blue bundles in her arms. "Guys," Gohan began, "I'd like you all to meet the new additions to the family." Smiles were contagious around the room as they all got a chance to peek at the newborns. Little Ayame looked like her father, but with bright blue eyes like her mother. And in her mother's other arm, a little blue bundle. Makato looked like Videl, but with Gohan's eyes.

"Oh my sweet grandchildren, look Goku." ChiChi said beaming with joy. It was quiet in the room as the family just watched the newborns sleep peacefully. After a minute or two, Pan found that Trunks and Gohan leave the cramped room. At first she started to panic on the inside, wondering what was going to happen. 'Trunks! What's going on out there?'

"Don't worry watashi no ai." When he felt her sigh in relief, he continued to talk with his friend. "I know you care for my sister," he started, "but do you truly love her… or was the two of you mating instinct?" Trunks didn't know how to answer that question. Of course he loved Panna, yes mating was on instinct, but there was so much feeling behind it. It overwhelmed him at first, but once he let it all go, his mind cleared up, and it all of a sudden made sense. He and Pan were the two missing pieces to the puzzle of life. When Trunks realized that Gohan was still looking for his answer, he returned back to reality, and said. "I love your sister more than life itself. It took me a while for my mind to fully embrace it, but when it did, it was a breath of fresh air."

When he spoke of Pan, his eyes softened, serenity washed across his features. Gohan knew that he had only the best intentions for her. And he and especially Goten would have to get over that. "Alright Trunks, but if I hear that you ever hurt her… I will make you wish you never existed." His eyes became slightly cold at the comment. Both knew that Goku and Vegeta would be okay with the idea. But there was always that chance; Pan does have to finish high school.

Everyone was going to leave for the night, and let the new family get some sleep. As the Sons were going airborne, Trunks gave the idea to stay at C.C. for the night. ChiChi was the first to voice her 'thank you' and 'we accept'. Goten on the other hand, was still mad about it all, and all but refused his best friends offer.

When they walked in the door, Bulma yelled in the direction of her room, "Vegeta! Goku and ChiChi are here with the kids!" She let out a genuine smile that didn't seem to mask her lack of sleep, as she'd been at work in the labs most of the day. Her hair was a bit of a mess as she continued with her day. Her mini-me came into the kitchen where Pan and ChiChi sat, and ran up to her and said smiling, "Hey mommy."

Pan's face paled when she heard her best friend say those words. She didn't want anyone to say anything unless it was her saying it. This was about the time Bulma went into shock. "What does she mean by that?" She at first questioned.

"Chi," she whispered looking at her, "What is my daughter talking about?" For a moment, there was no answer. But the onyx haired woman looked at her with a smile, and that was all the conformation Bulma needed. "Oh goodness Pan." She said hugging her with a smile. She had so many questions for the teen. And the bluenette was assured they would all be answered… after some food had been eaten.

Laughs were shared at the dinner table was Goku and Vegeta fought over the last egg role. "They fight worse than small children." murmured Bulma. It was going to be an all-out war when Goten swooped in took the last role and shoved it in his mouth. Then the huge room became a little too quiet. And the nerves had returned in Pan's stomach; or maybe that was the noodles. She was holding the hand of her love, looking at everyone at the table, quieter the normal.

"Pan-Chan, are you okay?" Goku asked with his mouth full. That earned him a slap on the back of his head by his wife. "That is so rude." She said rolling her eyes. Fighting was in his blood, but obviously not manners.

"Panna, are you ready?" He asked through the bond. "For what? They already know!" She exclaimed. "They don't know everything hun." He smiled at her, sending a wave of confusion over everyone else.

Trunks stood up from the table still holding Pan's lithe hand. "Everyone, I have an announcement to make. As you all may have heard, Pan is expecting. But that's not all I have to say." The faces of their mothers were truly priceless. The expression was borderline joy, and hysteria. Their fathers looked indifferent, for they accepted any decision the two were going to make. But looking over at Bra and Goten, there were a few looks. Some he could decipher, and some he could not. They ranged from happiness, despair, resentment and a general distaste for the situation. (The latter coming directly from Goten)

"What I'm trying to say is, Son Pan, I've loved you my entire life, and I can't imagine it without you. And I just want to ask-"

GOT YOU! I hope this was a good chapter, I've been side tracked with final exams at school. And maybe a little procrastination. :) R&R, More coming soon!
