Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ For the Love of a Child. ❯ Chapter 4

Because all but one like this storyline and are not afraid of controversy, I will type up the fourth chapter.

---------------------------------------------------------------- ---

Pan's POV

Sweat was dripping off my forehead as another contraction shot through my body. I screamed as I held tightly to my father's hand. It had been seven hours since my first contraction. I am now lying on a hospital bed, in dire pain waiting to dilate.

The doctor had come into the room to check me once more. "About five more inches Pan and you should be fully dilated." He said as he went continued to do some work.

Another contraction came on as they started getting closer and closer together. I wish Trunks were here. I wish he knew about this baby. Even if I did tell him, he could not be here anyways. I had not even told my parents he was the father. I think they suspect though. I however believe they had not said anything because they do not want to cause stress to the baby or me.

They also do not want to put our family through legal suits and what not. They had asked me many times who the father was. They had never ganged up on me though. I am glad for that.

Another hour later, the contractions seemed to get stronger and stronger as I screamed for some painkillers. "Daddy, Mommy I need drugs tell them to give me drugs." I had never experienced this type of pain. I must be insane. Why didn't I listen to father when he told me to get an abortion? Because you are an idiot that is why Pan. I chastise myself.

I cannot stand this. The pain is unbearable. I should have had that that abortion, I should have known better. Why didn't I listen? Why? I am fourteen that is why, I do not think straight when it comes to thinking for me. If I did I wouldn't I wouldn't had slept with Trunks. I would not have gotten pregnant and I would not be in this hospital room screaming for some drugs.

Father said something to mother I am not too sure what, however it sounded like. "I will go and see if the doctor can give her an epidural or something." I watched him go find the doctor.

Mother came and sat next to me. She wiped my forehead with a cold washcloth. "Pan who did this to you?" She asked concerned. I know she knew who the father was. "Tell me the truth Pan, was it Trunks?"

I looked at her as tears fell from my eyes. The look on my face told her everything. "I'm sorry mama."

"Pan did he…did he rape you." Mother could barely say the word. I know she did not want to believe I would have sex with a man twice. I also know she would not want to believe Trunks could rape me either.

"No." I whisper. "The sex was consent…Consensual." I choke out as another contraction racks my body. Mother let me squeeze her hand. Once the contraction subsides, I look over at mother. I see a tear fall down her cheek. "Mom."

"Pan don't you know in a lot of places what Trunks did was considered rape." Mother told me even if it was consensual on my half, what he did was wrong. I however did not care. "Pan you should have told me right away he was the father. Your father and I could have taken the right legal steps and had him arrested for the harm he had done our family."

I had my reasons for not telling anyone he was the father. "No mom, I don't want anyone to know. I just want this to be over with. Please. Just let Trunks live his own life. He doesn't need to know about this baby." I beg her not to say anything.

"Pan." Mother had a solemn look on her face. She looked as if she was going to cry. However, she kept her composure.

"Let's see if the baby is ready to make its appearance in the world." The doctor had come in with my father.

"What did he say?" Mother asked father.

"They told me she's almost ready to give birth, they can't give her anything." He explained to her.

"It looks like we're about ready to bring your baby into the world Pan." The doctor said as he prepped himself for delivery. I was scared. However, I could not wait to get this kid out of me.

The doctor went to the end of the bed and put his head in view of the birth canal. "Alright Pan. You're going to have to work together with me." He told me.

I nod. Even if I did not quite comprehend, what he was saying. My body almost took control of itself. "Alright."

"Pan I'm going to need you to push." The doctor said as I did what I was told. After what seemed like hours.

"I can't do this." I said. I refused to go on any further. "I don't have the strength to." I said as my breathing becomes heavy and labored.

"Just one more push Pan. Push." The doctor yelled at me. Mother was at my head trying to encourage me.

"You can do this honey." I looked at her. The look in her eyes gave me hope. I was determined. Determined to give birth to this child. I gritted my teeth as I grunt giving one final push.

I wait for the cries of the baby. When they finally came, I had fallen asleep. I do not know how long I was out. I woke up to see both of my parents with a solemn look on their face.

"What's going on?" I ask drearily. I had no idea what was going on. They had this look on their faces as if someone just died. Then it dawned on me. "Oh my gods please tell me…my baby."

"Pan, I'm truly sorry…the baby she didn't make it." She was crying as she told me. I did not want to believe it. I wanted her to tell me the truth.

"No tell the truth, liar." I yelled chastising her. "My baby isn't dead. She could not be. I heard her cry. I heard her." I said as my body racked with heaving sobs. I was handed something.

"What's this?" I ask as I looked at what resembled a picture. The picture was of a baby.

"I don't understand." I asked confused I did not quite understand the meaning behind the picture.

"That's the baby Pan. Before she…" Mother could not finish what she was saying; she had run out of the room.

I look at the picture of my daughter. I look at the picture. She has a full head of black hair. I knew she would considering all of the heartburn I had while I was pregnant. Her eyes are like Trunks' so blue. "Aiko, my love. My beloved." I hold the picture close to my heart never letting it go.

Trunks' POV.

Marron and I had arrived at the hospital when we had gotten a call that the mother of the baby we are going to adopt had gone into labor. We were not allowed to see the mother of the baby or even her parents.

I did not mind though all I was concerned about was the baby and whether she or he was healthy. Although I cannot help but feel a bit strange. I do not know what it is. I mean I just cannot explain it. It is as if something that is apart of me has entered this world.

"Mr. and Mrs. Briefs." I hear a voice. I see a nurse coming out with a child in her arms.

"Yes." I look over to see Marron. The smile on her face made it all worth it. She looked happy.

"I'd like you to meet your new daughter." Did she just say daughter. I could not believe my ears. The child, the little baby we had adopted was a little girl.

"We have a little girl?" Marron asked. The nurse smiled and put the baby into her arms. Marron had tears of joy in her eyes. "Hello Jenna." She greeted our new daughter.

I walk over to them and look at this precious child. "Isn't she beautiful Trunks?" Marron asked.

"Gorgeous." I study her face. I do not know what it is, but I feel like I know her. She reminds me of someone. I however don't know whom?

"What do we have to do now?" Marron asked. She was getting impatient she wanted to take the baby home. She was excited to get her home to show the others.

The nurse smiled. "All you need to do is sign these papers and she's yours."

"That's it?" I asked. I thought it would take a longer for the adoption to go through. I did not argue with her though. The faster this adoption can happen the better it is for the rest of our family. Marron and I sign the papers she handed us.

"Thank you and congratulations on your new daughter." The nurse smiled as me and Marron left the hospital. Marron did not want to let go of the baby so she held her while we drove home.

While I drove, I would take little glances over at Marron and Jenna. Marron was studying the child. "You know Trunks she almost looks like you." She said pointing to her eye area.

"What do you mean she looks like me? Marron that is impossible you know that." I laughed to think the child actually looked like me. However, wait a minute…no Trunks you are not going there again. That was not Pan you saw three months ago at the mall. Ever since I saw that pregnant girl that so resembled Pan I had not really thought of anything else.

"I know that Trunks. I'm just saying is she has similar eyes to you." I let out a sigh. That is what she meant. I thought she could see a resemblance to the baby and me. I smile and continue to drive home.

"I can't wait to show everyone our new precious child." Marron beamed with excitement. Maybe this marriage will not be so bad now that we have Jenna.

I see the street of which Capsule Corp is on. I turn on to it, the street or should I say driveway is a about a mile long. When we reach the house the entire gang is out waiting for us save for the one's I want to be there Pan and the Son's.

Marron smiled as she holds on to the baby. "Alright Jenna It's time to meet the rest of your family." Marron told the baby as I opened the door to the passenger side. Marron stepped out of the car. She walked over to the group.

"Everyone I would like you to meet Jenna Bulma Briefs Vegeta." All of the women cooed at the baby. If you are wondering about the name, it is from a name taken from her grandmothers. Jenna is Juuhachigou's christened named, and of course, Bulma is from my mother.

My mother smiled down at the baby. "She is so beautiful. You know this is going to sound strange, but does anyone else think she resembles Trunks a bit." Everyone looked at Jenna. The studied er face for a minute.

"You know Come to think of it she does. I however see someone else in her." Krillin chimed.

"Who?" I ask.

"If you look closely enough and I know this may sound odd. You can see traits of a Son in her." Krillin explained. Everyone looked at the baby and studied her features.

"You're right Krillin. She almost looks like Pan when she was a baby." Mother commented as she looked at the baby. However, we do all know that would be impossible. Considering the only way to get a baby to resemble Pan and Trunks is for Pan and Trunks to sleep together and conceive a child."

That is when my face went white. I felt as if I was going to be ill. I walked over to the baby. Could it be that she is my biological child? No Trunks get those thoughts out of your head.

She is not your baby. I chastise myself. If she was yours and Pan's child. Pan would have told you. Then you would be spending seven and half years behind bars for the rape of a fourteen-year-old girl. Gohan would have made sure I paid the consequences of knocking up his little girl.

Still I could not help but feel a connection to this child. A connection only a parent would know. I sure hope I am wrong about this. Wait a minute it could not be. I know Pan to well. She would not just give her child up for adoption. She would not want strangers raising her child.

Even if Marron and me are not strangers to her. She does not know it is we that had adopted her. Therefore, Pan could not be the biological mother and since Pan was the only one, I had sex with before I married Marron. I could not be the father.

But why am I feeling like I am?

Authors Notes: How could Gohan and Videl tell Pan her baby died. And then give her to the Adoptive Parents. And what about Trunks and Marron will they ever learn that the baby is his. They do see a resemblance but haven't really assumed anything.
