Chapter 23: "Home again home again"

…Trunks leaned forward as Pan did closing the gap between them until their lips met. Their warm lips brushing against each other not wanting to part. But when they did Trunks pulled back as Pan was crying. "Pan, I'm sorry. I didn't now you didn't want me to I'm-," he was cut off as she put a finger to his lips.

"I did want you to. I'm just so happy." A tear trickled down her cheek and Trunks brushed it away with his finger. "She smiled even though the tears kept coming. "At times I never thought I'd ever see you again. But to be here with you, to be so close to you again and have you still love me. Trunks I love you so much." He grabbed her and held her against him as she sobbed onto his shoulder.

"I've missed you so much Pan, I didn't know if I could hold on. But Tamiyo helped me." Pan pulled back looking up at him with a look on her face that he had never seen before.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean she came to me in a dream when I was really depressed and told me that I would find you and to stop moping and find you." Pan smiled. 'At least he listened to her.' She leaned against him again and felt, for once in a long time, safe. "We should get some sleep, it should take us at least a day, but if something is going on then we'll need our strength." He got up and started to walk towards the door when he felt her hand son his.

"Will you sleep with me tonight?" He looked at her blushing furiously. 'She's never been this blunt before. But she just had a baby a few hours ago. Is it even ok to do that?'

"Umm Pan in your condition I don't-," he started but was cut off by a smack upside the head.

"Not that way you hentai," she yelled. But she settled down again quickly. "I just meant will you sleep with me tonight? I've missed you," she said looking up at him with her pleading eyes. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her softly. That was all the answer she needed and they climbed in to bed together and fell into a blissful sleep in each others arms.

Pan woke feeling something warm and blushed when she realized it was another person. But relaxed when she saw it was Trunks and snuggled deeper into his arms taking in his scent and smiling. But all things have to come to an end. And they did when her uncle walked in. Pan and Trunks both bolted upright and started laughing until their sides hurt as Goten's jaw hit the floor. But Trunks soon stopped laughing and started running as Goten yelled something about him already having one kid and lunged at him. By the time Pan pried Goten away from Trunks and they were all able to peacefully wake up and get dressed they were about within range of making contact with Bulma. So of course everyone met in the computer room and waited until they were finally within range.

Pan stood there with her body tense and feeling shaken from being so nervous. 'What if something's happened? What if something happened to Tamiyo or Nasha or mom or grandma!? I would never forgive myself!' Pan was brought back to the present by Trunks hand holding onto hers. She smiled and gave his hand a slight squeeze.

"There's a problem," said Taski. "I'm sending a signal, but she's not receiving it."

"Well couldn't she be out or something," asked Pan.

"No, if we sent a signal and no one was there to receive it after so long the computer would automatically respond. Like when we sent a signal to your ship and you guys were gone, we eventually got a picture of what was going on in your ship."

"Well how long should it take," asked Pan impatiently.

"About 10 minutes, and we've been sending it for about 6 now, only a few more minutes and we'll see if anything is going on." Within minutes the screen finally came up and showed a blank lab. No damage, no blood, and a cold day old cup of coffee sitting on the computer consol.

"Well nothing looks out of the ordinary, that's a good thing right," asked Pan.

"There is something out of the ordinary," said Trunks butting in. "My mom's not in her lab."

"He's right," chimed in Bra.

"Well we'll find out soon enough. We are now entering Earth's atmosphere and should be landing in about ten minutes," said Leon. "Take a seat." Doing as told they held on until they finally landed and nearly flew out of the hatch and stormed into capsule corp.

"Mom, we're home, where are you," screamed Bra. She stopped when she saw a note on the table and reached for it at the same Trunks did and ended up ripping it half. "You baka!"

"You brat," screamed Trunks. There would have been a fight if Pan wouldn't have threatened to beat them both within an inch of their lives. They then pieced the note back together and got a lot of tape and read it:

Hey guys,

Sorry we're not here right now. Don't worry everything is fine here on Earth…now. We had a few unwanted visitors, but your new friend Nasha gave us a hand with them. We really wanted to be there for your arrival. But Nasha really wanted to start looking for some maternity leave cloths, god aliens have super sperm or something don't they? Now I'm getting a mean look from everyone. But anyway, we'll be back soon, and I hope everything turned out all right. Nasha said you were all fine. So we haven't really been too worried. Love you all!

Bulma

P.S. No Bra you may not borrow my credit cards while I'm gone.

"Maternity cloths," screamed Pan. Only the three of them had read the note and they had read it to themselves.

"But I thought you had your baby Pan," said Goten threateningly and looking at Trunks.

"Not for me," said Pan smirking uncontrollably. "It's for my good friend Nasha," she said whispering her friends name.

"WHAT?!" And with that Taski promptly fainted. Pan cracked up, but all of the guys looked sympathetic for him. Pan's laughing was interrupted by a cry, a baby's cry, her baby. She whipped down the halls following the cries until she opened the door to what used to be Trunks and Bra's old nursery to see Mrs. Briefs holding her.

"Tamiyo." Pan could barely get her name out. Mrs. Briefs turned to her and smiled.

"Oh my dear you guys made it back. And none to soon either," she said softly cradling the child in her arms. "She's been crying non-stop since she got here except when she's eating. Pan walked forward slowly as if in a dream and without a word took her daughter into her arms. Tamiyo quieted immediately and Pan sat there just holding her, which Tamiyo didn't mind even though it was strange for a saiyan baby to sit still. Trunks slowly opened the door to the room. No one but Pan had heard the tiny cry on the other side of the building so Trunks had went to find where she had went.

He came in just as Pan picked up her daughter and his grandmother snuck past him out of the room. 'Our daughter.' He walked into the room trying to be quiet as not to disturb them. Pan turned and smiled at him. He smiled back knowing she had probably known he was there since he was outside the door. "Trunks," she said her voice soft and caring. "This is Tamiyo, this is our daughter." She actually held her arms out and offered her to him. Trunks hadn't a clue what to do; he hadn't been around babies since Bra was one. But he held his arms out and took her into them and was a bit startled when she started her wailing again.

"Well she's not a daddy's girl that's for sure."

"She just doesn't know you yet." Pan ran a finger across her cheek and Tamiyo perked up instantly and giggled and smiled and….meowed? Both of the girls parents sweat dropped and looked grim. "I wonder if she's going to do that a lot."

"Probably until she learns how to purr."

"She learns to purr?" At that moment Trunks thought back to all of the times he had made Pan purr and began blushing furiously. But then he started thinking about other strange men making his daughter purr and became furious. "No men until your 30," he said sternly to Tamiyo.

"Trunks how is she going to avoid men her whole life? Unless you plan on leaving me sometime soon? You are a man after all."

"I am not a 'man' I'm her father. Men are men who are not related to her."

"Trunks you can try all you want, but one day she will grow up and like men and maybe one day get married."

"Aren't I supposed to only start thinking about that when she's older?"

"Yes, for now until puberty she is safe." Trunks gave a big sigh of relief. "But who knows, if she gets a little sister later you will have to protect her too." Trunks looked a little pale when she mentioned little sister. But lightened up just as quickly.

"Yes but if she has a little brother he can stick up for her and tag along and keep her away from those kinds of guys."

"Trunks," said Pan flicking him in the head playfully. Trunks just smiled and leaned over giving her a long soft kiss. The light once again touched Pan's eye as she opened it and she sat there wondering for a second, 'Did all of this really happen? Or is it just a dream?' She was interrupted though by her daughter again.

"Meow!"

AN: I tried to leave the ending light and open ended to leave you some room for your own imagination. I really want your input on this last chapter. I'm sorry that it is so short, but I think it fits together very well. But I want your opinion, so PLEASE review!
