I NEVER GIVE UP

By: AMCM74

Chapter 6


Bra raced after Mark as he moved like a thunderstorm through the house. "Mark! Mark calm down!!" She grabbed his arm "You have to hear her out."

Mark swung around looking as if she had just slapped him in the face. "Hear her out? She abandons me for the majority of my life. Ridicules everything I do, insult everyone I know, and now she shows up and has the nerve to ask me to risk my life to save hers. What is there to hear out, Bra? There is nothing she can say that is going to make me help her."

Bra looked up with huge eyes "She is your mother."

"She gave birth to me. Something she has made me sorry for ever since I was old enough understand. That does not make a mother." Mark raged and knocked a flower arrangement off a near by stand. The sound of it crashing rang through the house.

Bra followed the arrangement with her eyes to where it lay on the floor "Maybe I should just stay out of this, but Mark, she doesn't have much time left. This is something I know you will regret if you just reacted, and don't make an informed decision."

Mark remained silent.

"You could at least call her doctor. Maybe if you want go see them and find out what this procedure involves. It's to save a life, Mark." Bra moved in one him until her body almost blends with his. "What would you do if she wasn't Gina? What if it was just someone who needed help?"

Mark drooped his head and rested his check on the top of her head. "You know I can not tolerate watching others suffer. I will go see her doctors if you will please go with me." Mark lifted his hands to rub her back slowly. He closed his eyes deep in thought.

Gina stood just down the hall. Her hand was on her heart as she listened to the two. At least she didn't have to give up all hope. Walking back into the dining room she shut he door quietly. Moving over to the table she picked up a black cell phone and dialed. "Melody Sanders, please." Gina cradled the phone. "Yes, I will hold." After a few moments Gina brightened. "Melody? It's mommy. Yes I know I left without telling. Don't be mad. No. I found a donor. No, I am serious. He is a perfect match." Gina looked at the door to make sure Mark and Bra was not returning. "Yes I know you would do it, but the risk is to high baby. I can't lose you. All right I will. OK, see you in a few days, dear." Gina set the phone down on the table and slipped into the chair. This had to work. It all hinged on Mark not ever finding out about Melody, his half-sister.

Bra and Mark stepped off the plane into the Blue Mountains. The little plane had landed on a strip not far from the Kentucky/Tennessee border. Gina followed them. She had remained very quiet since mark had agreed to the meeting with her team of doctors three days earlier.

Mark was nervous. Bar could tell by the way he clung to her. Over the past few days she could see the concern eating away at him. She had learned a lot about him in the past few days. That he was the sole surviving member of his family. That if he lost Gina, he was completely alone, and that he did not fell alone anyway. Bra had never left his side unless he was in the office. He had insisted that he could clear up the matter there quicker with out the distraction. Mark had swung from not wanting, to help Gina at all to a little desperate. Personally Bra was getting concerned. Asking doctors questions was one thing. But this could be dangerous. She shook her head and dispelled her fear. What did she have to worry about? Hadn't Aiko told her she would marry Mark? Looking at marks brown hair blowing in the breeze she smiled. He was so handsome. The only thing holding back her tide of joy was the fact that Mark had yet to tell her he loved her. Not that she could hide that he did from Bra. She saw it clearly in his eyes and his touch. They laughed a lot together. Still it would be nice to hear those words from him.

There were tow limousines on the strip waiting for them. Gina walked over to hers with mark and Bra following close behind. "I really appreciate that you have come all the way here to help me, Mark." She addressed him as if he were in a business meeting. "You ca reached me on my cell if you need anything. I will be at my estate taking care of some matters there. The appointment with my doctors will be at the eleven-tomorrow morning. They have had more then enough time to prepare the details for you. Anything else?"

Mark shook his head and Gina slide into the black limo and was off. Mark looked at the other limo and laughed. "She is trying to think of everything."

Bra looked confused until Mark pulled up a familiar set of Keys and dangled them for Bra to see.

Bra's eyes widened "The Vette?!" she laughed.

Mark nodded. It should be in the parking lot outside. Ready to cruise my lady." He put his arm around her. Bra looked up and grabbed the key from him and ran.

"Sure, but I am driving!!"

Mark chased his Saiyan princess across the airfield screaming after her. The pilots and the limo drivers stared after the duo with shocked expressions on their faces. "Rich people. Who understand them?"

It was late when Mark finally pulled the corvette up to the resort. Bra smiled over at him. "Looks like you are going all out."

Mark jumped out with out opening his door and jogged over to open her door for her. "Come on I have more surprises for you."

Bra laughed "More? How can this be? You have spoiled and pampered me all day? My dad is going to have to take notes."

Mark chuckled "Vegeta does not need to take notes about anything. I would be surprise if he can even write. All he needs is your mother and the gravity room."

Bra stepped out and as she did some young guy across the lot started to whistle. She blushed "Americans"

"You are my hero MAN!!!" On of the boys screamed.

Another called "Can I be you went I grow up." And shot Mark a peace sign."

Mark smiled at Bra "You know I would say something to them, but that use to be me."

Bra rolled her eyes and Mark put his hand up to the guy "You want to be really jealous, guys?"

Bra thought he was going to kiss her. She braced her self for it. If he tried she would kill him. Instead he dropped to one knee and pulled out a black Velvet box.

"I was waiting for this moment to tell you." Her heart stopped as he opened it and the flawless shining stone appeared. " I love you so, Bra Briefs, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

She looked in shock to Mark and then to the three young men across from them.

"What are you waiting for Miss?" A kid called "Say yes, before he decides to take it back to the jeweler."

Bra found that this time she was the one who couldn't talk. Instead she pulled him to his feet and kissed him as the applause echoed around them.
