I Never Dreamed

Chapter 30

Trunks and Bra entered the restaurant. Pan was sitting I a booth across fro Marron and Mark. Marron was chatting happily with Pan. Mark was toy with a bowel of wonton soup. Looking up he saw Trunks and sighed in disgust.

Bra sat down next to Devero and looked past him to Marron. The fact Marron had her right hand resting on Marks leg didn't escape Bra either. She shot Marron a disgruntled glare. Mark swallowed hard and Marron removed her hand and looked guilty.

Pan was oblivious to the tension in the group. She rose to hug Trunks and kiss his cheek. "HI, honey. Are you hungry?" Trunks didn't speak, but he nodded. Pan sat down and patted the spot next to her. "You should start out with some soup. Stay away from the wonton though. Mark hasn't eaten a bite."

"I doubt Trunks is too hungry. All the stress and pressure on his mind." Mark threw out. The flinched when Bra stomped his foot

"Yeah work can take it out of you business types." Marron covered with a tilt of her head.

"I guess with everyone here now is a good as time as ever to pick a wedding date for Trunks and I." Pan leaned her head on Trunks shoulder. "I was thinking within the month. After all I am not going to get any smaller now."

Mark gritted his teeth. "You sure you want to rush into this? I mean marriage is a big step." He flinched again as Bra dropped her hell on his foot this time. The pointed heel ground back and forth on his foot. "Ouch! Not that I want to stand in the way of true love." He looked down at Bra who was smiling happily as if she had yet to make a move.

Trunks, on the other hand, was getting paler and paler. His eyes never left Devero's face. There wasn't much trust between the two. Trunks was waiting for the other man to shout out his new found windfall. No one would gain more for this disaster then Devero. Trunks admitted to him self that if the situation were reversed Pan would already know. Everything.

"Pan, sweetie, I am not really hungry." Trunks looked over at her. Pan reached out to touch his forehead. "What? Are you getting sick?"

"No. Just make the plans with Bra and she can drop them by the office." Trunks gave Pan a quick kiss and stood up.

Pan looked around in confusion "Bra? Trunks I could swing by and."

"No, I want Bra to do it." Trunks spoke roughly and Pan's hurt sparkled in her eyes

"If that is what you want." Pan looked over at Bra. "Will you be at the town house or Capsule tonight?"

Trunks stood straight. He really should be stronger. If they spent as much time together as they had lately the bond would surely start growing between them. He had to hold back from her, at least for now. "Meet me at Capsule tonight." Pan nodded at his cold tone.

Looking down at her plate she felt her appetite die too. What was wrong? Pan glanced at his retreating back. Then she looked down at the dress she was in. The only thing different today was the fact she was starting to show. Maybe Trunks was afraid she was going to get fat. She had been eating a lot more then usual.

"So when do you want to set this date, Pan?" Bra set her elbows on the table.

Pan gave a weak smiled "I don't know, before I have this kid that is for sure."

Mark looked at the group. "I think I will follow Trunks back to the office. We have a few things to go over."

Marron grabbed his arm as Bra blanched "I'll go with you." Marron went for her purse.

"I don't think so, blonde, just a few things to attend with the merger and all." Mark stepped past Bra. "Nothing for you girls to worry over. You just make your plans and Trunks and I will make ours."

For the second time today Mark stormed into Trunks office. "Briefs are you a complete idiot or what? Do you realize how much you upset Pan today?"

Trunks was sitting in his chair looking at his laptop head in his hands. "I am not in the mod Devero."

"Then you had better get in the mood." Mark strode forward. "Because you can't just go around making her life a emotional roller coaster."

"Since when are you her guardian angel?" Trunks stood up. He was raring for a fight and there was no one more worth of a pounding them Devero. "It seems you have your hands full with Bra and Marron. Now you want to try and read Pan to the list?"

"I admit I have my hands full with Bra. She is constantly eating at my sanity. Currently there is nothing but friendship between Marron and I, as far as I am concerned." Mark shrugged "But that is besides the point. I am here to talk about Pan. I am going to be her guardian angel as long as she needs one. With you around it may be a long, long time. Trust me I don't relish the task either."

"Why don't we talk about this somewhere more appropriate like the gravity room at Capsule?" Trunks threatened.

"I already know you can knock me out." Mark crossed his arms "Let's hash this out Briefs once and for all."

"What is there to hash out? I have Pan, you want her." Trunks taunted.

"I deserve her. You don't" Mark came back quickly "What you have done is so low I have no words to describe it."

"I am going to pay for that soon enough, Devero." Trunks threw his hands up "So please don't start rubbing it in. Anyway if you are wondering I am not sorry. I would do it again. No matter how this ends up I will always have my daughter."

Devero nodded "Yes, the baby will always be there. What do you mean you are going to pay for it soon enough. Have you decide to tell Pan?" Marks arms dropped to his sides "I think that is for the best actually. There might be a chance for the two of you, if you come clean."

"Oh, I will tell her all right. I am not going to have choice in the matter." Trunks slid back into his chair. "I am just trying to keep it from her for a while longer."

"Like when."

"Like when we are happily married and the baby is about ten years old." Trunks said with dramatic flourish.

"Then it will take an act of god to save you." Mark laughed, "You think the longer you keep this a secret the easier it will be. I know Pan, and the longer you hide it the more of your ass she is going to have."

"You know Devero; for once I think you are right. Still there is nothing I can do but hope and pray the right time to tell her shows itself before the inevitable happens and she learns on her own." Trunks turned in his chair to look out the window.

Mark was about to respond when Bra walked in "Trunks you have a lot of explaining to do. Do you know how upset you have made Pan!"
