Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Katana ❯ Chapter 14

Marron lifted her head up and looked into Goten's eyes. "Trunks had fired me." She said sobbing. Goten walked over to the crying woman.

"What? He fired you. Why?" Goten asked not sure why Trunks had fired the girl.

"I said some mean things to Pan. I told her the only reason Trunks would marry her was because she was knocked up with his child. Which is the truth, Trunks loved me before she entered his life, and he said he would love me until the day he died. He lied to me. He lied to my face." Marron complained that Trunks had not kept his word to stay true to her.

Trunks did tell her he loved her, and he might have made the promise to never leave her, but he had not met Pan when he made those promises. He never thought he would fall so hard for another woman so quickly.

"I'm sure Trunks had a perfectly good reason to fire you, I mean you did say some pretty harsh things about my niece." Goten did not know what to say, he did not know how to approach the subject. He wanted to be there for Marron; however, he did not want his niece to think he was betraying her.

"I know, but firing me Goten? Goten you should have heard the harsh words he said to me. He really hurt my feelings." Marron put on a sob story, she hoped Trunks was listening. "I never meant to say those words; all I ever wanted was to Love Trunks and for him to love me in return. I never thought he would not feel the same way.

Goten sighed, he did not know what to do with the broken woman. She really did love Trunks. It however was time for her to get over it. He had to find a way to get her to see that Trunks Briefs is not the only man who can make her happy.

"Marron just forgets about him, he isn't worth it."

"Oh no, I love him Goten I gave my life for him. You know I could have been an actress."

"Really?" Goten said raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, a big time movie director asked me to star in his movie, however because I loved Trunks so much, I declined. I could have been the next Greta Garbo, but because of my love for Trunks I'm just a lowly housemaid." Marron wiped away a tear.

"Marron, you shouldn't live your life according to Trunks." Goten tried to reason with the distraught woman on why she should not revolve her life around Trunks Briefs.

"I love him Goten; I'm not going to stop."

"I know, but sometimes loving those means letting them go and letting them live their own life."

Marron scoffed at what Goten said. "Yeah so I can live miserable without him, and he and Pan can live happily ever after with all of their brats."

"No, so you can find someone who loves you wholeheartedly, someone who loves you more then life itself."

Marron laughed. "I thought Trunks did, I was wrong. So tell me Goten where can I find this amazing guy?"

Goten smiled. "Marron, he's been in front of you the whole time."

Marron laughed. "You? Oh, that is funny Goten. You and me, that's a riot,"

"Marron, I'm dead serious, let someone. Let me love you. Let me show you what love is."

Marron got up and walked towards her bedroom to pack. Goten was hot on her trail. "Marron please, let me show you what love are. Don't shut everyone else out; Trunks Briefs isn't the only one in this world."

"He was to me; I loved him ever since I was a little girl. He knew of my feelings and he toyed with them. He toyed with my emotions. I am not going to let that happen again. I can't let myself get hurt again."

She closed the door and locked it. Once inside she broke down and started crying.

***Meanwhile. ***

"I'm sorry if Marron hurt you, I'm sure she never meant any of it." Trunks tried to reassure Pan that Marron was all bite and no bark.

"She didn't as much hurt me; it's what she said about you."

Trunks creased his brow. "What did she say?"

"She said the only reason you were marrying me was because you felt sorry for me, and that you would marry any woman carrying your child."

Trunks sighed. He had a secret he was keeping from Pan, a secret that he had been harboring for years. Trunks pulled out his wallet; he flipped it open and pulled out three pictures.

The first picture was of a 16-year-old boy. The boy had blue eyes and black hair. He resembled Trunks in so many ways. "His name is Bryant…he's my son. I gave up my rights to him when he was adopted. However I still stay in touch and the adopted parents still send me pictures of him." He told a shocked Pan. She could not believe that he had a child a teenage child for that matter.

The other picture was of a fourteen-year-old girl with lavender hair and black eyes. "Elizabetha She's the product of a one night stand I had with an older woman, she lives with her Mother and stepfather in Oregon. I send money and her mother sends me pictures." Trunks replied, and then he picked up the third one.

"Ana Maria She's my baby, she's six years old." She lives with her grandmother. However, I would like her to come live with me. However, I cannot have her come when everything is so hectic in my life."

Pan stared in shock trying to comprehend all that Trunks had just told her. Did he really have three children with three different women? Now Pan was worried. What is going to keep Trunks from leaving her as if he did the others?

"Trunks? Why did you leave them? I mean, how can I be sure you aren't going to leave me?"

Trunks laughed. "Pan, the first one she was only fourteen and I was sixteen, we were young. I thought I was in love with her. We were young, and stupid. When she became pregnant, her parents shipped off to a home for wayward teen mothers. I would have never met my son if it were not for my parents influence." Trunks answered. "Now that I think about it, I don't think I ever loved her. I mean I was only sixteen and extremely horny." Trunks said with a laugh.

"My daughter was a mistake, she was born when I had a one night stand with a married woman. The woman's husband was presumed dead. He had fought in the war and I was there to comfort her. We actually hit it off, but when her husband returned that was the end of that." He then picked up the picture of his second daughter.

"Ana Maria was born when I was twenty six, I thought I loved the mother. I however found out, she was a con artist using Ana Maria to swindle millions from me. The mother is in Jail now, and Ana Maria is living with her maternal grandmother." Trunks explained to Pan about his three children.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

Trunks chuckled. "To show you I'm not marrying you because you have my child, hell if that was my thing, I would have been married and divorced three times, I have never married those women. Do you know why?" He asked. Pan just shook her head.

"I didn't love them. I can't marry someone I don't love."

"Trunks." Pan smiled.

"Pan, I'm marrying you because I love you. I want to grow old with you." Trunks said with love and emotion.

"Trunks, I love you too. I love you more then anything in this world." Pan cried as Trunks brought her into a loving embrace.

Just as Trunks was about to bring Pan into a fiery kiss. The phone rang.

Trunks went to answer it. "Hello."

"Mr. Briefs, this is John Combings from Emerald Downs racing course, we are under the influence that you have a horse you are racing in this upcoming derby."

"Yeah, well there's been a change of plans."

"What sort of plans Mr. Briefs." The man on the other end sounded like he did not like it when someone changed things on him.

"Well the woman who was going to ride him, has become well pregnant."

"You need a jockey to ride her, is that what you are saying?" Mr. Combings asked.

"Well Yeah, but we can't find one in this short of time." Trunks replied. It would take a miracle to find a jockey to ride Katana in time.

"Just bring the horse to the track, there is a Jockey here that can ride anything." John Combings said.

"Alright, thank you Mr. Combings." Trunks hung up with the man and turned to Pan.

"That was the owner of Emerald Downs, he said he has a Jockey lined up to race to Katana, all we have to do is show up with her."

Pan laughed excitedly. "Oh Trunks this is wonderful. I cannot believe it. Katana can finally show the world she isn't any wimp." Pan threw her arms around Trunks neck. He lifted her up slightly as they both smiled.

He set her down. "We better get Katana ready for her Trip and we better get packed for the trip ourselves." Trunks replied.

Pan nodded as they went to prepare Katana.
