Pan's POV

It has been two months since mother pulled me out of classes. I am now six months pregnant, and well hate every minute of this pregnancy. I could just kill Trunks.

The doctor was right. I am carrying low, but you can tell I am pregnant. Grandmother tells me it is a sign I am having a girl. I do hope she is right; I would love to have a little girl. A girl I can teach to fight, and be a tomboy like me. That would be cool.

Oh, before I forget. Father is still adamant on me putting the baby up for adoption. He tells me not to be attached. I keep telling him, it is not his choice. I sure hope before the baby is born we can all come to an agreement I really do not want him or her to be born into a family that is at each other's throats.

"Pan?" My mother came into the room.

I look over at her. I cannot really tell what she wants. I know she does not want to become a grandmother, but then again. I do not think she wants the baby to be raised by strangers. "Yeah Mom."

She had a worried look on her face; I really did not like the look she was giving me. "Honey sit down."

"Mom you're scaring me." I did not like the look on her face, in fact, it scared me. What was she going to tell me?

"Panny, your father, and I have picked out a couple to adopt your baby." She said solemnly. I just stare at her in shock. Did I hear correctly? They already had a couple picked out.

"Who? Who are they? What are their names?" I asked.

"I don't know, the adoption will be closed, they will not know who you are you and we will not know who they are. Pan they are a wonderful couple. He's a company CEO, they've been married for four months, and the woman just recently found out she cannot bare children of her own." Mother explained to me.

"So you decide it would be generous to give her mine. No mom, this is my baby, I am not giving him or her up to anyone, and I do not care if the woman cannot have children. She can't have mine." I shouted through tears.

"Pan be reasonable, think about the welfare of your baby, do you really think you can provide for it what this couple can. Pan they are wealthy. He or she will lack for nothing."

I break down. I guess the pregnancy is screwing with my hormones. "I just…" I did not know what to say. I did not know how to tell her the reason I wanted to keep the baby was that it would make me feel closer to Trunks. Does that sound wrong? Does it sound wrong of me, to want to feel close to a man who had left me high and dry?

"Pan tell me why you don't want your child to be raised by a good couple? Couple who can give him or her everything he or she could ever ask for. Pan think about it."

"I can't." I shout as I leave the room. I go outside. I stare up at the stars in the sky. I lay my hand on my stomach as I close my eyes. Please do not take my baby from me. Please do not give him or her to some strangers. I pray to whoever the stars are.

Why are my parents so adamant on me giving up my child? Why won't they understand, this baby is the only part of him I have left. If I cannot have Trunks, at least I can have his child. Does that sound selfish of me? To keep a child from a couple who so desperately wants one of their own.

I really do not mean to sound like a total unreasonable brat, but put you in my shoes. This child is the only thing I have. I know I got my family and friends, but they cannot give me what this child can. This baby is something I can love unconditionally and vice versa, to give him or her away would be cruel.

"Pan, come back in." Mother calls again. I had better go. I turn around and walk into my house.

"Mother, I don't want to talk about it anymore, I'm not giving up my baby and that is final." I tell her as I head back up to my room. I hear her sigh.

I enter my room, and lay down on my bed. I lay a hand on my stomach. I wonder what I am having. I could have found out what the sex of the baby was many times. I however refused to know. I want to be surprised. I am hoping for a boy. A boy that looks like Trunks. Does that sound selfish of me? To want a baby that looks like his or hers father. A man who said I was worthless. Am I just kidding myself, bringing myself up for more disappointment?

I know this is going to sound weird; I however do not care what you think. I talk to my baby. I tell her or him what is going on in the outside world. I sometimes even tell it not to be born, that is safer inside me then out where I am. I however do tell him or her, what a wonderful world we do live in.

I want to keep him or her safe from harm by keeping the baby close to me. Keeping him or her inside of me. I also want to show the baby all the wonderful things the world has to offer. I sound a little selfish don't I?

I wonder if I should consider adoption. Can I give this baby what this couple can? I know I am not making any sense at all. I blame the hormones. I want to raise this baby myself, but I want him or her to have the best life. I do feel like I can give it the best life. I feel as if I am the best one to raise my own child.

I need to sleep. I know what my decision is on adoption. I'm keeping this baby. I am sure of it.

Trunks POV

"Can you believe this Trunks, in three months we will be the proud parents a beautiful little baby." Marron said happily. She threw her arms around me. "Oh Trunks, I'm the happiest woman on this planet.

I smile. I cannot believe this adoption agency had already found us a baby to adopt. I hear the mother is only fourteen, poor kid to have a baby at the young of an age.

I also heard the father had left her. Bastard when I get my hands on that…wait a minute it is not my concern. I just do not like it when men run when they have a baby on the way. It is cowardly and just unruly. I know I can never do that to my child.

"Trunks, I can't wait. This is so unbelievable Trunks, to think we are going to be parents. This is so exciting." Marron sure was happy; I wish I could as enthusiastic about this adoption as she is. I do not know why but I have a feeling something will happen, that will hurt everyone involved.

I just hope this child is worth all of this. I am sure it is. Marron thinks it is. Marron is so excited; it is somewhat nauseating in a way. I know I told her we could adopt; I however find it a bit early to start adopting. I still think it is early in the marriage to bring children into it, what if the marriage does not work out. What then? What happens to the child?

Both Marron and Mother however told me that a child would bond us together. Doesn't that work when the child is of your blood, how a child you do not even know bond a couple together. Mother said it is not about the blood of the baby; its how much his or her parents love it. That makes it bond the parents together.

What If? What if the love of the child isn't strong enough to keep us together? What will happen to it? Do we adopt the child knowing one day the marriage may end? Do I want to take that risk? You know it may sound odd, but yeah I do. I want to take the risk and adopt this child.

Whether Marron and me stay together or not. I want to give this child a life its mother could not. A happy home and lacking for nothing.

I want to care for this child as if it was my own. Raise it as Briefs. Raise it as a strong member of the community. I want it to have everything a child could ask for.

"Trunks, I want to know what you think of these names if the baby is a boy I would like to call him Zan, and if it is a Girl I would call her Jenna. What do you think Trunks?" Marron suggested some names to me. Zan and Jenna were the names she had chosen. I liked them.

"They'll do Marron. Zan for the boy and Jenna if it's a girl." I smile at her; now that we named the baby, it seems all too real. Like we are becoming a family. I am not ready to become a family yet. Not now. Not with Marron. Am I making any since at all?

This may sound perverted, But I wish Pan was the one I was married to. I Wish Pan was the one I was adopting…no having a child with. I know I had said some mean things to her, and I may have told her she was insignificant in my life.

I did not mean it. I did not mean any of it. I love her; Kami knows how much I do. I know I do not make since, but then again I did marry Marron. My whole life is confusing.

"Trunks come on." Marron started dragging me out the door. Where to? I have no idea.

"Uhm, Marron where we going?" I asked

She looked at me as if I was an idiot or something. "Trunks we are meeting our mothers and your sister at the mall to do some shopping for baby furniture and stuff.

"Why don't we just use our old stuff?" I say, I did not want to go to the mall looking at baby stuff. Its bad enough I have to go with her and Bra when they shop for themselves. I realized I was there to fork over the money and pay for their purchases.

"Trunks it would not be very safe to use furniture that is over twenty years old for child. Now come on the others are waiting. "Marron said as she pulled me to the car.

I sighed. This was going to a long three months.

We drive to the mall, Marron told me we were going to The mall of Japan in Tokyo which apparently has a huge selection of baby stores there, I never been there so I don't know. However considering we are not even on the Island Tokyo is on, I have to drive to the ferry docks.

It took us about three hours to get from Capsule Corp to Tokyo. It would have been a lot faster if we would have flown, Marron does not like flying though it scares he. Pan would not have minded however.

Once we are in Tokyo. Marron and I drive to the Mall of Japan; I let Marron off at the doors so she can meet up with the others to start shopping.

I then drive around the enormous parking lot for a good hour looking for a decent parking spot. I finally found one about a mile from the main entrance.

I get out of the car and lock it. I begin walking towards the mall. Maybe by the time I get there, Marron and the others will be through. I make it to the main entrance and enter the massive structure. Now to find them. This may take another hour, not that I am complaining. The more time it takes me to find them is less time I have to shop with them.

What the? I am looking at girl. A girl who resembles. No, it cannot be her. Can it? I know. I am not making any sense at all am I? All right, I think I just saw Pan. The only thing is it could not be her. No. This girl was pregnant. Pan is not pregnant. She could not be.

Did I cause her more harm then I thought. Did she become pregnant when we… Oh god what have I done. Stop this Trunks, Stop it. That is not her. Stop you did not knock up Pan. You did not get her pregnant.

I sit down. I need to clear my head. That could not have been her. That was not her. Oh, god what if that was Pan. What if Pan is…no…she is not pregnant. She is too young to become a mother.

I walk the mall trying to clear my head. The noise however is proving to be a nuisance. I make my way out side from another entrance.

Now what am I going to do?

Author is Notes: Did Trunks really see a pregnant Pan? Will he learn the child him and Marron are adopting is his own child. To find out what happens read more of the story.
