Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ For the Love of a Child. ❯ Chapter 5

Note: This chapter takes place five years after the birth of Aiko (Jenna)

Pan's POV

It has been five years since the death of Aiko. I am not sure how I had gotten through those five years, but I have. For some reason I feel she still is alive and is just waiting for me to come and tell her I love her. Does that sound weird? I know I should not talk like that. Aiko is gone and I must accept the fact.

I am nineteen years old now. Mother and father are thinking of moving back to Satan City, and I am considering going as well. Does that seem stupid for me to be moving back to the town where the man who knocked me up and then left me lives? I miss it there; I miss Bra and rest of the briefs family.

Mother told me not to mention anything that happens if we do go back. That means no mention of me being pregnant, or Trunks being the father. In addition, even the death of her. I wish I could tell Trunks though; I would think he has the right to know he has or had a child that had passed.

No, I will not tell him. He will never know he had a child. He will never know she had died either. He left me. Okay so he did not really leave me. And we really weren't a couple. However, he still said some harsh things to me. I cannot forgive him for that, as much as I still love him. Yeah you heard right, I still love Trunks.

I am pathetic aren't I? To still be in love with a man whom I had no chance of ever ending up with in the first place. I am crazy to still think that I once had a chance with him. Maybe I should not move back to Satan City, and if I did, I can just avoid west capital and the Briefs, especially Trunks all together.

Then again, maybe Trunks does not live at Capsule anymore. Maybe he doesn't even live in Japan, but that would be ridiculous considering he is the owner of Capsule Corp, and I haven't heard of any mention of Capsule Corp changing headquarters.

I should just suck it up and finally face him; I cannot go around avoiding him forever. I have to face him eventually. However, I do not want to do it so soon.

"Pan?" I hear mother calling me.

"Yeah mom." I walk down to see the man I have been seeing since I turned sixteen. His name is Seth Thompson; he is twenty-five years old with dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and an olive complexion. He is six feet and weighs about 180 pounds; he has been a godsend to me. He does not know I might be moving back, however he told me, he would move to the ends of the earth just for me.

He does not know about Trunks, or about Aiko. He really does not know much about my life before I moved to Tokyo. I am not sure if I will ever tell him all the things I had done. I am afraid if I did tell him everything, he would leave me. I love him, not as much as Trunks but I love him.

"Hey Seth." I said as I walk over to him. He smiles at me and then kisses me. "So what brings you here?"

"Can't come to see the most beautiful girl in Japan." He smiles.

I look at him and pretend to get mad. "Just Japan?"

"Alright, how's this, the most beautiful girl to ever live on this wonderful planet and the entire universe." He gave a hearty laugh.

I smirked. "Much better, now you can just keep saying those wonderful words." I tell him seductively and start to get a little passionate with him.

"Get a room." My mother said as she left the room shaking her head. I watch mother leave then turned back to Seth. We both laughed. He leaned into kissed me. He then pulled back.

"Maybe we should." He said as he pulled me upstairs. We get to my room. He shuts the door with his foot as he continues to kiss me. I put a hand up to stop him. "What?

I needed to tell him. I needed to tell him I was thinking of moving back home. "I'm thinking about moving back to my childhood home with my parents." I did not know what sort of reaction I was going to get from him. However, I was not prepared for what happened next.

"You're leaving me?" He said as if I were going to break up with him. I really should not be surprised he always was possessive. I do love him though, however strange that may sound. He is not Trunks but he is a good man. He treats me well and is always there when I need him.

"No, I'm not leaving you. I was going to ask if you wanted to come with me." I smile. Damn why did I say that? Now I must explain who Trunks is and how I know him. Pan why cannot you just keep your mouth shut. "Seth?"

He looked at me and smiled. He really loved me I could tell. "What?" He had no idea what I was about to tell him, he had no idea what my life was like before I met him.

"There are some things I need to tell you." I lower my head and bite my lower lip. I looked up at him. I saw his perfect smile. The smile that made me fall head over heels in love with him. I remember so vividly the day I met him.

Flashback.

It had been my sixteenth birthday; I was depressed about losing Aiko two years before. I felt as if I should not celebrate my birthday, however mother and father threw me a sweet sixteen. To my annoyance actually.

I go along with it anyways just to make them happy. Since my friends, are far and few between, they had invited the sons and daughters of Dad's clients. Oh, I forgot to mention, dad decided to become a professional bodyguard.

I sat on a rock watching the festivities around me. I wanted to be anywhere but there. The partygoers were all younger then I am. What were mom and dad thinking? This had to be the worst idea they ever had.

"You know your face may end up like that?" I heard a masculine voice. I look up to see a tall man about nineteen twenty staring down at me. He had dark brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes.

"What?" That was all I could muster up. This guy was…how should I put it. He was second to Trunks in the hottest guys category. According to me.

"You really should learn how to smile more." He said smiling this most perfect mega watt smile. That did it. Trunks you have been replaced. I blush a bit and smiled.

He smiled back and pulled me up on my feet. "That's my girl, dance with me?" I nodded stupidly and took his hand.

"Yeah, but what makes me your girl." I asked a little peeved that he had the gull of calling me his girl.

He laughed a bit. "I had told some buddies of mine that I would end up with the most beautiful girl at this party. That girl is you."

I blushed. "I'm not beautiful."

"You could have fooled me. By the way my name is Seth Thompson."

I smile. I knew I could not be with him; I had already been down this road with Trunks. Why do I attract the older men? "Well Seth Thompson, I cannot be with you even if I am beautiful."

"And pray tell why you and I can't go out." He really did not know how old I was. Didn't he know it was my sixteenth birthday? Maybe this person is a pedophile. Maybe he just wants sex as Trunks did.

"How old are you nineteen? Twenty?" I asked his age. If he knew, I had just turned sixteen he would become scared. Like Trunks should have been.

"Twenty-Two years old. Why?" He asked arching his eyebrows. He really did not know my age. I suppose I should tell him."

"Do you know what this party is for?" I asked him. Did he know why he came? Maybe he really did not. Maybe he just wanted something to do.

"Some girl is turning sixteen I think." He replies. So he does know what the party is. However does not know for whom it is for.

"That girl is me, I'm turning sixteen today." I half expected him to walk away disgusted. However, he just smiled. "You knew didn't you?" I slug him on the arm.

"I knew from the beginning. Your father told me to befriend you." He explains. Father told him. Why would father set me up with a man who is twenty-two?

"My father?" I was confused.

"Yeah, he's one of my clients. He had this picture of you set up in his office. I asked who it was. He told me it was his fifteen-year-old daughter. I asked if I could meet you, and he told me he was throwing you a sixteenth birthday party in a few weeks."

I looked at him strangely. Who was this person? Did he really want to know me for me? He looked at me. "Look I don't want to have sex with you." I flat out tell him.

He looked at me shocked at what I just said. He then started to laugh. "I don't want to have sex with you either, at least not until we get to know each other more, and you are older."

I smile as I continue dancing with him. "Oh and by the way I'm Pan Son."

"I know." He said as we danced together to the music.

End of flashback.

That was three years ago. Seth and I finally consummated our relationship on my eighteenth birthday. He was shocked to learn I was not a virgin. I told him I lost my virginity when I was fourteen to an old boyfriend. It was not a complete lie.

"Pan. I love you; you know you can tell me anything you."

I proceeded to tell him everything. I told him every gory detail of what had happened.

Trunks POV.

"Daddy." Jenna screamed as she enters my room. She sure has gotten beautiful. For some odd reason. She Reminds me of Pan when she was that age. I know, I know forget about her trunks. She has probably moved on and has a boyfriend of her own.

I picked her up and flung her onto my shoulder. "Hey Lullaby." I do not know when I started calling her lullaby. I just did and it stuck. When I say she reminds me of Pan it is not just her looks. She acts exactly like her as well. She is feisty, Stubborn, arrogant, and just plain bossy it is almost as if Jenna is the clone of Pan.

"Daddy can I ask you a question?" Jenna was a pretty precocious five years old. She liked asking questions. She was always curious about the world around her. I smile at her.

"What?" I asked she sure was cute.

"What did my mother look like?" All right before you, get confused. I must tell you Marron had left me. She left about two months after we gotten Jenna. Saying Jenna was too much of handful. I know what you all are thinking. Didn't Marron want this child? Wasn't she the one who wanted a baby?" Yeah, however she found out it was harder then it looked.

I did not want her to remember Marron as her mother so I make one up; I describe a woman like Pan. Maybe she is not her mother but at least she will remember a good woman as he mother. "Well she is exactly like you. Very stubborn and feisty. You even look like her." I tell her. Come to think of it. The older she gets the more like Pan she looks and becomes. Maybe that was Pan when…no Trunks do not think like that that was over five years ago. If Pan had your child she would have told you, and you would be spending twenty something years in Jail where you belong.

"Did she love me?"

"Of course she did?" I was sure her mother loved her. Whoever she was. Jenna does not know she was adoptive. As far as she is concerned, she is my real daughter. I sure feel like I am her real father. How odd is that?

"Then why did she leave me?" I was not expecting that question. Why did her mother leave her? What was I suppose to tell her? I know why Marron left. I really don't' know what to tell her.

"She loved you more then anything. However, she felt as if she was not that great of a mother and decided she could not raise you. So she let me raise you." I try to tell her a good enough answer. It was not a complete lie. I am sure her mother did love her.

She smiled. "Were you sad when Mommy left?" As I said, she did not know that Marron and I had adopted her. She did not know that I had no idea who her real mother was. She continued to prod. "Were you daddy, were you sad."

"Jenna. Yes I was very sad when your mother left." I did not tell her a complete lie. I was upset that Marron had left. Not because she left me. I really did not care if she left me. I was upset she had left Jenna.

I do remember that day so vividly, the day Marron had walked out on me.

Flashback.

She had been crying nonstop ever since we had gotten Jenna. I did not know what to do. She was depressed. "Marron, what's wrong?" I asked her. I hated to see her upset. I did care for her. She was not the love of my life. She was my wife though.

"I can't do this Trunks. I thought I wanted a child. However, it has proven too difficult for me. I cannot take it anymore. I'm leaving Trunks." Marron sobbed into my hard chest. I stroked her hair.

"You know that a child is about sacrifice right?" I try to explain to her that a child is all about compromise and sacrifice. That it is not all fun and games.

"I should have listened to you. We should wait until we were older." She said. Now she wanted to wait. I was the one who wanted to wait in the first place.

"Marron?" I was shocked she was really considering leaving. I did not care about her leaving me. I was more concerned about her leaving Jenna.

"I'm sorry Trunks. I just cannot take this anymore. I have to leave. I'm sorry." She then picked up a suitcase. She walked out of the house and out of our live

End of Flashback.

It has been Jenna and me ever since that day. I had not had so much of a phone call from Marron asking how Jenna is. "That's wonderful." I hear my mother on the phone with someone. "Yes I'm looking foreward to seeing you guys again as well. I am sure they will love to learn you guys are returning. I will be sure to relay the message." She hangs up with whomever she was talking to.

"Mom, who was on the phone?" I asked curiously walking into the kitchen with Jenna.

"Oh Trunks, I'm glad you are here. That was Son Gohan, he and his family are moving back to Satan City. They are going to come and visit us at Capsule when they are settled in.

Did I hear correctly? Pan was returning home. "Pan's returning?" That was all I could ask. Mother looked at me and smiled. She knew I cared deeply about Pan.

"The entire Son family is returning, however I have no idea why Pan has to return? She is old enough to stay on her own." Mother explained. I really did not care why she was not staying where she was. I was glad she was coming home. So glad.

"Who cares Mom? Pan is coming home." I smile. I feel a tug on my shirt.

"Daddy? Who is Pan?"

"Pan is a very special friend of mine. I haven't seen her in nearly six years." I pick Jenna up and smiled. Finally, my two favorite girls will be in the same city as me.
