Chapter 38

"I think by tomorrow you will be ready to go home. Mrs. Briefs" her doctor looked over her charts. "As a standard we like to keep our near death patients a little longer then normal deliveries." Trunk smiled at the words and looked over to little Aiko. Aiko was on her bassinet eyeing up the new pink bunny Bulma had dropped off earlier. Pan nodded as she looked over the door.

Mark stood there waving happily. Bra appeared close by with and armload of toys. "Hello, baby." Bra walked over to Aiko and began introducing the baby to her toys.

"I am going to run a few more test on Aiko." The doctor finally closed her folder. "Nothing special just the ordinary. That is about all. Any questions?"

"Yeah." Mark looked up from the baby "Should she smell like this." He wrinkled his nose.

Trunks laughed, "You found it. You change it."

Mark shook his head "I didn't get the memo on that."

Bra picked the baby up and held her out to Mark "You heard the man, no slacking. I'll get you a new diaper."

"Mark reached out and took the squirming bundle. "Are you sure I am qualified? I didn't even get to see the instructional video."

"I think I am going to run out for a moment and get something for us to eat. What do you want." Trunks looked right at Pan. She didn't respond. As she pushed back into he bed. He gritted her teeth. At least yelling he could handle. She was even blocking her bond. Every time he reached out to her mentally it felt like walking through jello.

"I want a bagel!" Mark responded not looking up from his odorous task.

Bra looked over. "You can get me so coffee. I already ate with mom and dad."

Trunks left the room with a heavy stride, as he passed a nurse. "I am here to get your baby."

"Bra could you take her down for me." Pan looked up. 'I need to talk to Mark."

"Of course, Come on Aiko, you and Auntie Bra are going to go for a walk." She lifted the baby back into he bassinet and pushed it to the doorway.

"Right this way, miss."

Mark sat down in the chair. "What is it?"

"How do you know I want something?" Pan looked over at him.

Mark sighed and leaned his head back. "Why else would you want everyone out of the room? You are planning something, just like that night in Anchorage. You screwed over that love struck solider from Ft. Richardson."

"I want to go to America with Aiko." Pan said in a calm voice.

"YOU WHAT?" Mark looked over at here at her as if she had lost her mind. "Are you insane? Pan, he is your husband. You have a kid for cry out loud." Sitting up he grabbed her by her arms and looked her straight in the face. "Damn it, let us not forget you love him."

"You don't have any idea what he has done, Mark." Pan broke free oh his hands and stood up.

"I don't." Mark turned from her. "Does this have to do with Aiko?"

"You know and yet you defend him." Pan sounded pained. "Great."

"It's not that I agree with what he did. It's just that he is remorseful." Mark tuned back around and embraced Pan. "I know you love him. You are married. You can't just forget that."

"I know that. "Pan pulled away and walked to the window. "America is the only place I stand a chance of keep Aiko" She looked into the distance "I am planning on getting an annulment."

"Pan" Mark cried, "There is no way you are going to get an annulment. Trunks can lock that up in legal issues forever."

"Fine. I will go after a divorce. There is no way I can live my life with a man who has manipulate me to the extent he has."

"You are just mad right now."

"Of course I am!" Pan gasped as she turned to face him "Do you blame me. I have loved that man forever. There will never be another, he saw to that the other night." Pan touched her neck as she moved across the room in an angry pace.

"Pan, give him some time. Please try." Mark couldn't believe he was arguing for Trunks. It was a shocking revelation on his newfound feelings for Bra. Pan shook her head. "All right, One month. What could it hurt? After that, if you still want to leave, I will help you."

"Mark." Pan pleaded.

"No, those are my terms. You know as well as I do that you will need my help to keep Aiko. I am not going to lie to you. No matter what you do, Trunks does have rights to his daughter."

Pan bit her lip and nodded "You are right. I will give him one month."

Mark watched her turn back to the door. It was obvious she didn't like his ultimatum and he hated doing this to her. Still if he did what she wanted it would be the end of his relationship wit Bra. The blue haired beauty would never forgive him. He was still taking a chance. If Pan remained stubborn he was screwed. Just plain old screwed. He swallowed hard when he realized his future depended on Trunks. Ohhhh that man owed him big.

Trunks returned to see Aiko munching happily on her bottle "Do you ever stop eating, you little lemon." Aiko completely ignored him. Pan looked up at him. Their eyes met. "I brought you something." He held up the bag.

"Thank you." Pan looked back down at the baby. "Mark and Bra had to go. Mark said to save his bagel. He will be back."

"You're talking to me again." Trunks replied, "That is a start." Setting the bag down he reached out for Aiko. "Here let me burp her."

Pan nodded and handed her daughter to her father. The image they made was heart wrenching. Damn, Mark. How would she ever be able to take Aiko away from him? Did she have it in her to be so heartless? A loud belch sounded "AH, was that Aiko."

Trunks looked up from the baby "The one and only. She eats just like Goku. Lots and all the time."

"I don't think I will ever get any sleep." Pan smiled and walked over and touched the baby's head. She stood so close to Trunks she could feel the heat radiating off his body.

"Of course you will. I have an interview with a few nannies today." Trunks answered.

"Nannies? What do we need with a nanny." Pan stepped back.

"I just thought you want help."

"So I need help raising my own baby. Now Is that what you really think of me." Pan glared at him.

"I don't mean, umm that is I didn't say" Trunks watched the tears well up in Pans eyes. He leaned over and lay Aiko down. "Aww Pan, don't cry." As soon as the words where out of his mouth she burst out in uncontrollable crying.

The nurse walked in and smiled "Postpartum depression setting in?" Trunks held Pan next to him in a comforting embrace. He glanced over to the nurse as she put her hands to her heart. "You two are soo sweet together. What a lucky little girl." She smiled at Aiko. "Let me just check her chart and her vitals and I will leave you three alone."
