Chapter 6

"So what did you want to meet with me about, Mr. Briefs, It's not every day you leave Capsule Corps. Headquarters to visit us here in the States." Mark Devero was a strikingly handsome man. Devero had dark brown hair, and rich forest green eyes that fairly glowed with intelligence. He sat across the table from Trunks with the menu in his hand. This man was incredibly well built and seemed very friendly. Mark Devero was more than fair competition for Trunks. It was not unbelievable that a woman could choose this paragon of American manhood over the Saiyan Prince.

Trunks tried to remain calm. The situation required the utmost tact. "I have set this meeting up, and traveled all this way to see you about a mutual friend of ours, Mr. Devero." Trunks studied the other man's reaction closely.

Devero looked puzzled, as he leaned forward. "Mutual friend? I wasn't sure that Capsule and Global traveled in the same circles. We are both International companies, but we rarely have dealings of any substantial magnitude.everevero obviously knew his company inside and out. What really bothered Trunks was how well did this man know Pan. Especially during the months she had been away and in his employ.

"I want to discuss a young woman you have working for you, her name is Pan Son." Trunks watched for the other man�s reaction to the name, and it was quick to come about.

Surprised, Mark Devero put down the menu very slowly. "So you know Pan. Well, she is a wonderful person. Very well studied, and an excellent employee.� Looking up with challenge in the emerald eyes he went right for the root of his concerns. �What would you wit with her?" There was a defensive look that dared Trunks to continue.

"I want you to fire her." Trunks said flatly.

"You want me to what!" Devero was openly shocked. "Why would Capsule Corp want Global fire Pan? That makes no sense.� Marks� headshot up and he fairly growled. �In fact this sounds more personal then anything else." Then another emotion crossed Devero's face. The expression becoming almost stormy, "So you're the one! You worthless bastard! I can't believe you dared to come here, and make such a request after what you did to her."

It was Trunks turn to be confused, but he still pressed on. "I am a personal friend of her family, and they miss her greatly. We all want her to come home." Trunks played on the domestic card. � Young women like Pan should not be so far from their families, Mr. Devero.�

"That maybe so, Mr. Briefs, but I doubt they sent you." Devero smiled as if was withholding something. Something big, and he let it fly. "In fact I know they didn't. Since Pan has been home with them for the past two months. You see she decided to get out of her contract and go home."

Trunks jolted. She had been home for two months, and she had not contacted him. Obviously she was avoiding him. Trunks felt his stomach tighten with the knowledge. "How did she get out of that contract? You just let her go? He didn�t raise his eyes to face Devero.

"No, it was all legally done." Mark was studying Trunks face, waiting from the right moment to drop the bomb. "She had the option of leaving the job for physical incapability, or in case of pregnancy." Trunks was reeling. He could scarcely breathe knowing right where this was leading, but Mark Devero was a straight shooter. He was not about to let Trunks of easy. "It is kindhardhard to travel around to new places with a baby in tow, Mr. Brief." Trunks paled dramatically. Mark was not done with the Saiyan yet. "I am glad I was the one to break the news to you, Mr. Brief. You probably know by now that I wanted Pan for myself. After she informed me of her condition I still offered to marry her.� Mark glared across the table at his rival. �I would have given her everything she could have ever wanted. I was more then wiling to raise the baby as my own, but Pan turned me down flat. She told me that she was still in love with the baby's father, but he would marry her even when he found out about it."

Trunks� defiant stare pinned on Devero. The mere thought of this man married to Pan and raising his child filled him with anger. "Well then, I think we have said all we need to say to each other."

"Actually I don't think so, Mr. Brief." Devero stood up and scowled down at Trunks. " I think Pan is an angel. She is the most honest and truthful woman I have ever met. Pan is a really oddity in our world. I advise you to work fast and not lose her. Because if you screw this chance up I will be back, and I will not lose her again." With that Devero stalked away leaving Trunks slumped down in the chair contemplating how he was going to get the woman he loved to tell him about their child.

Gohan opened his door to see a travel weary Trunks at the door. Trunks looked terrible. His face had a bit more than a days� growth on it, and his clothes even had a slept in look. "Trunks, what's wrong?" Gohan motioned him in and ushered him to a chair. Gohan was half worried the man might collapse from exhaustion he looked to beat down.

Trunk looked at the chair then to Gohan. Would Gohan be offering him a chair if he knew about his relationship with Pan? Trunks decided that he wouldn�t. Gohan would probably be going Super Saiyan on him. Then he would kick Trunks� ass out of the house, and maybe then off the Earth. "I just came to speak with Pan, Gohan. Is she at home."

"Actually, Pan and Videl had to go to the city for a doctor's appointment. I expect them home in a few hours. Knowing my girls they will go shopping afterwards." Gohan looked expectantly at Trunks. "Why are you looking for Pan? Trunks do you need to tell me something."

Trunebatebated on just coming clean with Gohan and begging him to understand. That all he wanted was to make Pan see reason, and accept him and what he was offering her. Gohan would find out eventually, because Trunks had no intention of denied his child. "No. I just needed to talk to Pan. I heard she was home from..." Trunks searched for the right phrase, "A common acquaintance, and thought I would come by."

Gohan's face was impassive. "She has refused to tell anyone she�s home. My parents know, but Goten is pretty much in the dark." Gohan pinned on Trunks with his eyes, "She has been going through a lot lately."

Trunks noted the direct look Gohan was giving him. He felt his skin crawl under the intense scrutiny. "Tell me what you know, Gohan." He sighed giving up any hopes of hiding his secret.

"How about you go first." Gohan sat down and motioned for Trunks to do the same. "I have a feeling this may take a while, so why don�t we sit down� Daddy."

Trunks felt as if the earth had just shifted under his feet.

Pan held back her tear as she listened to the fetal heart tone monitor. It was one thing to see a positive pregnancy test while you sat alone in your hotel bathroom. It was another thing to hear a doctor tell you that you are really pregnant. Every month she came here, and they checked her progression. Every month it became more and more real. That was her baby's heart drumming loudly in her ears, her and Trunks�. Pan knew she would have to tell him, eventually.
She wasn't sure what she would say. "HI Trunks, I just wanted to tell you that I am pregnant. Yeah, it's your I found out months ago, but it just wasn't convent for me to tell you then." HA! Like that would work. He would probably kill her for taking so long. After she had the baby, of course. She knew he would never harm the child. Why had she not listened to him? Trunks tried to tell her about this. She should have waited, before rushing off to the Global job. All she has accomplish with that stunt was making her family worry, and humiliating herself in front of Mark.

Trunks had tried to contact her at first, but Pan had told Devero not to give her location or number to anyone. "Everyone who needs to know already has my cell number."

"Miss Son." Her doctor repeated "Do you have any questions for me?"

Yeah! How do I tell this baby's father about him or her? Pan thought sarcastically "No, thank you, Dr Walters." The doctor nodded and walked to the door looking over the chart. "You are doing well. Just make another appointment with my secretary and I will see you next month. Take care Miss Son, and make sure you keep up your fluids and prenatal vitamins."

Pan waited for the door to shut. She grabbed her purse and pulled it over her shoulder. Looking at the mirror in the office and realized she was starting to show. She placed her hand on her stomach and moved the palms over the slight bulge. "I have to tell your Daddy about you soon, little guy."

"Daddy already knows." The voice was so deep and real. No! It couldn't be. She looked up slowly, and there she saw Trunks standing at the open door. He had his hand on the knob and his eyes fixed on her. Pan just stared at him and felt the blood rush to her head. She tried to shake the vision before her off. He stepped toward her seeing her sway. Pan slumped to the ground. "Doctor!!!" Trunk yelled as he grabbed her moments before she hit the floor.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"She was fine when I saw her only a few seconds before you yelled for me, Mr. Briefs." Doctor Walter's voice was the first thing that Pan heard when she began to regained consciousness. She was about to open her eyes when she heard Trunks.

"Well, she is not alright now." Trunks seemed to growl "I want you to do everything you can for her. That is my baby she is carrying, and I want the very best for them both. Do you understand me?"

Pan couldn't help but groan at his words. "I think she coming around." Dr. Walters patted her face lightly. "Miss Son, Are you alright."

Pan thought about just laying there until the end of time, or at least until Trunks left. "Pan, I know you're awake. You can open your eyes now." Trunks' voice was calmer, more assured. Pan opened her eyes to see him standing over her next to the doctor.

"I am fine, Dr. Walters." Pan whispered. She tried to sit up with assistance from her doctor. "I was just surprised to see Trunks here. I thought he was off on a business trip and wouldn't be back so soon." The lie slipped out quick enough.

Dr. Walters went into a long lecture on ho tao take care of yourself and what to avoid, such as sudden shocks. Then, to Pan's horror, she left Trunks and her alone.

"You seemed to lie pretty easily." Trunks held his hand out to Pan. "I guess practice make perfect."

Pan ignored his hand and stood up. She swayed a bit still unsteady on her feet. Trunks locked his arms around her from behind offering his support. "Let me go."

"And have you trying to get up close and personal with the floor again?" Trunks remained behind her, not moving a muscle. "I don't think so."

"Where is my mother? Why are you here?" Pan started struggling weakly for release "Better yet, who told you?"

Trunks let her go, and motioned for the door. Pan walked toward it as he said, "I sent your mother home. She thought it would be good for you to talk to me. She wasn't the one who told me."

Pan gaped at him. "You sent my mother HOME!" Pan turned and stormed out the door. Her was gait intent on losing him. She knew he was right behind her when she muttered "Of all the nerve."

"Like your one to talk, Pan! You have been hiding here, right under my nose over the past few months. Not even bothering to tell me that I am about to become a father." Trunks watched her back, as she slowed her stride unable to keep up the pace. Pregnancy was slowing her down. Thank Dende for small favors. "Your good friend, Mark Devero, was the one to fill me in yesterday, over dinner. If you are curious to know just how I found out."

Pan whirled around on Trunks. They stood there on the sidewalk for a moment, before she spoke "You were in the States yesterday? With Devero?" Trunks nodded. Pan clinched her fists and began to rant, "I am going to kill him! How dare he tell you! Next time I see him I'm going to. I'm going to� ARRRGGGHHH"

"I felt the same way when he told me that you have gotten out of contract with a pregnancy clause. I think, he really enjoyed breaking the news to me." Trunks placed his hand on her cheek, and she closed her eyes. "The real question is what are we going to do now, Pan? I am not going to give up my child." A look of panic crossed Pan's face and he added, "I am not giving up on the idea of marrying you either. I said it this before and I am saying it now. Marry me Pan. I love you."
