~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No..."

Trunks started backing away...

"No, Trunks. I really need you," Pan said as she cried.

Trunks shook his head. He turned to run away. Pan watched Trunks hop and fly away as tears ran down on her cheeks.

'I knew it, I knew he would freak out and leave me,' she thought.

Holding Vei tightly in her arms she turned and started to walk away from the place where Trunks had just broken her heart. Again. Pan didn’t know where she was going or how long she had walked for that night. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw her old house.

'Should I go see daddy and mom?'

She started to walk toward the house. Pan stopped by the door and sighed. She raised her hand to knock on the door but stopped. She was still scared of what her father would do to Trunks. As much as she despised him at the moment she knew she still loved him and she didn’t want Trunks to get hurt. She took deep breath and knocked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gohan and Videl were both eating dinner when they heard someone knock on the door.

"Can you answer the door, please?" asked Videl.

"Sure," Gohan said as he stood up from the table.

As Gohan opened the door he saw Pan standing there her lips parted in a small smile.

Back at the dinner table, Videl heard the scream.

"PAN!!! YOU CAME BACK!!!"

Videl gasped and ran to the door. She saw Gohan hugging their lost daughter. She squealed and ran up to Pan and Gohan and hugged Pan. Finally she let go of her daughter.

"Pan! I am so glad you came back! Where ar---? Hey, whose baby is this?" asked Videl when she noticed that Pan was holding a baby.

Pan looked down at Vei and A sad look appeared on her face. She looked back to her parents and sighed.

"This is Vei. She's my daughter." Pan finally answered.

They gasped and Gohan's ki began to rise. He frowned.

"Pan, who is the father?" Gohan growled.

"Um… well you see…it um…it’s Trunks but please don't hurt him. It's my fault. I tried to explain that I need him so much but he freaked out and left me..." Pan finally spit out as she started sob again.

"I am so sorry, Panny," Gohan said as he hugged her again. Finally, he let go of Pan and looked her.

"I'll talk to him."

"Don't hurt him, please!"

"Don't worry I wont, I promise."

Pan sniffed and nodded.

"You need rest, let me hold Vei, I’ll care of her," Videl said as she took her granddaughter from Pan. Videl cooed to her and Vei cooed back happily.

"Aww, she is so sweet!"

Pan nodded and sat the couch. She looked at her father as he walked to the door.

"I'll be right back, Pan," Gohan said as he left.

Pan sighed and stood up.

"Mom, I am going to my room and take my nap," Pan said as she started to walk upstairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pan lay in her old bed staring at the ceiling. Her heart was heavy with sorrow. Tears ran down her cheeks. Finally, She closed her eyes, long since knowing how to ignore the pain in her heart and she falls asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trunks sat on the rock near a waterfall. He couldn't stop thinking about her.

'Why me? Why am I Vei’s father? I am not ready for a child.'

Sensing ki he snapped out his thought. Oh no, it is Gohan!

'Damn! I knew Pan would tell him! Now, he is going kill me!'

He quickly stood up and watched Gohan levitated down on the ground. His face looks angry and coldly. He crossed his arm. Trunks sighed deeply.

"Goh--" but cut by Gohan raised his hand to stop him.

"I know. Pan told me that about it. Why did you leave her?"

"B-because I'm not ready for a child. I still love her but not the child! R-really."

"Then go to her. I am trusting you. Don't worry we could help you if you want us to.
She still loves you and she needs you very much. She’s always wanted nothing but you. She didn't mean to leave you. She needed get out of here because you hurt her so much. So, if you hurt her again. I swear I will kill you. Understood?"
Trunks was shocked at what Gohan said. He looked at ground.

"I'll leave you alone and think about it, Pan and your daughter," Gohan said as he left.

Trunks sighed.

'I should go see her now.'

Trunks blasted off at full speed towards Pan's home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Videl opened the door and saw Pan asleep. She smiled and carried Vei to the bassinet. Vei was also heavily asleep. She put Vei in the bassinet. She turned and walked toward Pan's bed. Videl kissed her daughter's forehead and she left Pan's room.

Downstairs, Videl saw Gohan walking upstairs.

"How was it?" asked Videl.

"Well, I already talked with him and left him alone to think."

"I hope he makes the right decision."

"I hope so too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He could see Pan's balcony in view and he landed as quietly too keep the noise from his ki down so he wouldn’t wake her. He opened the sliding glass door and walked into her bedroom. He could see Pan's back facing him. Trunks slowly walked towards her bed but froze as Pan whimpered and turned to her other side.

'She looks so beautiful,' he thought as he looked at her face.

Trunks walked carefully and sat on the bed placing his hand on her soft cheek. He looked up at Pan's face. He noticed a few remaining tears on her cheeks.

'She was crying...'

He brushed away a strand of her dark hair as his attention turned to the bassinet.

'That must be Vei...'

He stood up from the bed and walked toward to the bassinet. He looked at his daughter. Vei's blue eyes opened and looked at Trunks. She cooed happily. Trunks touched his daughter's cheek with a finger. He smiled and picked her up from the bassinet. Vei nuzzled against her father. He chuckled quietly while he was rocking her.

'She is so cute...'

(Few minutes later...)

Finally, Vei started to fall asleep again. He put her back in the bassinet. Trunks turned and walked toward Pan's bed again. He pulled off his clothes but left on his pair of white boxers and then carefully climbed into bed with her. He put his arm around her and snuggled close. (AN: Don't even think about it! Hehe...^_^;;)

"I am so sorry, Pan. I didn’t realize how much you need me and how much I needed you. I love you so much. I promise I won't leave you again. I’ll stay with you and with our daughter..." He whispered softly.

He closed his eyes and fell sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pan stirred and felt the pressure of someone against her. She turned her head over her shoulder and saw Trunks laying beside her with his arms around her.

"Why you bastard!"

She got out of her bed and stood up. She threw her pillow his face. He gasped and sat up. He saw Pan standing up and her face looked angry.

"How dare you come back here after leaving like that," Pan yelled.

He still sat on the bed and said nothing.

"Get out of here..."

Trunks shook his head. He made no attempt to leave and came closer to Pan.

"Don't... why did you came back?" asked Pan.

"I came back because I still love you and I realized my mistakes," Trunks answered.

Tears had begun to stream down Pan's flushed cheeks and she made an attempt to throw another pillow at him but he grabbed her arm and forced her to drop it. He pulled her to him and held her close. Trunks felt that Pan was tense. After a few minutes, she finally began calm down then she started to sob into his shoulder.

"I love you Pan," Trunks whispered.

Pan stopped and for that instant, all was silent and her eyes wide. She looked up at him.

"Then why did you leave me?"

"Because I was scared. I wasn't ready for a baby but I'm ready now. I came back because I still love you."

"D-do you mean it?"

"Yes, Panny," Trunks said as he smiled.

Pan felt her tears stinging her eyes as she threw herself into his arm and cried against his warm chest.

"Oh Trunks, I love you so much! Don't leave me again like that! It hurts me so much..."

He took her chin with his one hand and guided her lips to his until they finally met. Trunks wrapped one arm around her while running his fingers through her dark little curly hair. They finally broke apart for the need of air.

"I promise I won't leave you again..." Trunks told her.

She lay on the bed and she pulled him to her. She placed his head on her flat belly. She played tough his purple hair. His eyes started to get heavy and he closed them listening to her calm breaths.

"I'm so glad you came back..."

"Mmmmm," Trunks murmured as she chuckled.

A crying sound made Trunks' open his eyes. He sat up from Pan's belly and turned to the bassinet. It was Vei. She was crying. Pan started to sit up but was stopped by Trunks. He shook his head.

"Let me."

Pan lay back down and watched as Trunks walked toward the bassinet. He picked up Vei. Vei quieted and blinked her big blue eyes at Trunks. Trunks cooed at his daughter, letting her wrap her tiny fingers around his index finger. Vei gurgled happily as Pan smiled. Trunks sat on the bed and Pan sat up with him. Pan wrapped an arm around his waist and she smiled up at him. He smiled back.

"Pan?"

"Yeah?"

"Will you marry me?"

She looked at him in shock. Then, she smiled and nodded.

"Yes, yes. I will..."

"I love you," Trunks said before he planted his lips on hers.

Vei watched them as they kissed and cooed at them. They stopped kissing, looked at her and smiled.
