Part 15

"You're what?"
"I'm pregnant." Trunks stared at the ground with so much pain in his heart.
"Who . . . who's the father?"
"I don't know but I want you to be."
"You don't know?!"
"The day of the party was when I got the call from the doctor."
"And ever since you've been living with Erica."
"Yes. I knew you weren't the father because I know you better than that, and Keunai, I just don't know. I think he might've put something in my drink because in my eyes I'm a virgin. I never . . .." Tears flowed down her red cheeks. She was gasping for air. He held her.
"I love you Marron, you could've told me. I mean instead of running away from it like that. I understand."
"I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I'm worried. I've tried every pregnancy test I could find and some say I am and some say I'm not but I'm so scared. Come with me tomorrow."
"I'll be at your house at dawn."
"Erica's house at eight."
"I'll be there." He walked her home from the park and went straight to the mall and then to the jewelry store.
"Hi I'm Lucy, how can I help you?"
"I don't need help, I'm waiting for someone."
"Who?"
"Mandy."
"Well she's a bit busy at the moment so is there anything I can help you with?"
"You can tell Mandy I need to speak with her." She looked peeved with that remark, but she walked over to Mandy anyways and explained the situation. Mandy looked in Trunk's direction and whispered something into her ear and came over.
"Hi Trunks how can I help you?" 
"Can I have your address?"
"Mine?"
"Yes."
"I don't live with Keunai so if you're looking for him I-"
"I am."
"I don't live with that idiot."
"Can I have his address?"
"I guess. Don't hurt him or nothing though-"
"Can I have it? I'm in a hurry." She scrawled it on a piece of paper and handed it to him. 
"Thanks bye!" He yelled running out of the store.
"Gosh he's weird." Mandy said returning to her customer. Trunks was already in the air searching for his house. He found it after a bit. He knocked. A man answered the door.
"Yes?"
"Is Keunai home?"
"Sure. Hold on a minute." Keunai came out and Trunks closed the door.
"Do I know you? You look familiar."
"Follow me." He went to the side of the house. He grabbed the collar of Keunai's shirt and rammed him up against the house. Keunai's feet weren't touching the ground anymore.
"Just answer the question."
"Anything!" He choked. 
"Did you do it? Was it you?"
"What?" He started to cough.
"Was it you?"
"I don't know." He croaked. His hands were trying frantically to get Trunks hands off his throat. 
"Answer me!"
"I don't know the question!" 
"Did you get Marron pregnant?"
"Marron's pregnant?"
"Don't play stupid with me! Answer the question!" Trunks raised his hand to strike but a speeding figure blocked the punch from hitting Keunai and broke the connection between Trunks's hand and Keunai's throat. Keunai landed in a heap on the ground. Trunks instantly recognized the figure as Goten. Keunai crawled around to the front door. 
"Bra told me you came this way."
"Why'd you stop me?"
"I thought I was going to be involved in his killing." He joked.
"I want to kill him by myself."
"What'd he do?"
"I can't tell you yet. Not till tomorrow."
"Come on let's go." 
"I'll be back for you Keunai!" He yelled and they flew away.
"It has to be seriously bad if you want to kill him."
"It is and I swear I'll tell you all about it tomorrow but today is just not a good time for me to tell you. Not yet."
"Whatever but next time, let me have the first punch okay?"
"Shut up." 
"Whoa! What's up your butt?" And they flew in opposite directions. Goten was surprised that Trunks hadn't told him what was wrong. They never kept secrets from each other, buy he decided today is just as good as tomorrow to be told.

The next day at Trunks's house . . . 

Thump. Bra sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. Was she hearing things? She got up just to be sure. She checked her parents room and downstairs and then the place where any noise would most likely be coming from at one am. She knocked on Trunks's door and she heard a muffled "Come in." She walked in and saw Trunks putting on his shoes. It was dim in his room but they could see each other.
"Trunks, I hope you know it's one o' clock in the morning."
"I know that."
"Where are you going?"
"Out."
"Out where?" She mumbled since she was still half asleep.
"To meet a friend." 
"Why so early?"
"Chill, don't worry about it."
"Whatever." And she shuffled out of his room and back to bed. He went downstairs and walked outside locking the door behind him. He stretched his arms and flew off. 
He landed at Erica's house at about one-fifteen. He leaned against the front porch's wall. He sat against it at one-twenty. As soon as he sat he heard a door close. He stood up. Marron was there. She looked like she couldn't sleep either. When she saw him she hugged him. It was like a silent thank-you to him. They held hands and walked down the street. It wasn't even light yet but it was very breezy. At the end of the street under a lamppost he kissed her and she didn't pull away. Her brown waved in the wind. They continued walked down the street. They walked to the bark and sat on a park bench and said nothing. When light came people started walking or jogging or walking the dog. They just sat there. But by the time of the appointment they were both so anxious. They flew to the Medical Center next the hospital forty minutes early. They sat there, still hushed and calm. Thirty minutes to go. Twenty minutes to go. Marron was nervous now. She bounced her foot up and down and curled her brown hair with her finger. She had confessed to Trunks earlier that she had been sick of her red hair and wanted to keep a low profile. Trunks stared at the blank walls. Ten minutes. These last ten passed them the slowest of them all. Marron looked at her watch every minute now and Trunks had closed his eyes, breathing deeply. 
Their name was called and they were directed to room 304. They held hands all the way. When 304 was in sight, she squeezed his hand. He hugged her just before they went in. 
"Excuse me sir, but are you the father?" Nothing came out of their mouths. 
"Yes, he is." Marron said suddenly. The doctor eyed him suspiciously but went on with his business.
"I am truly sorry to tell you this news."
"Sorry?" Marron asked.
"Yes. I always like it when I get to say it's a girl." Her eyes fell to the floor.
"Oh."
"She, I mean, we have a boy?" Trunks asked.
"Neither." 
"What?" Marron asked.
"I called the wrong person. A lady with the last name Marron is having a child and we had the files mixed up and I'm . . .. Ever so sorry to be the one to have to tell you the news." He had closed his eyes as if this would help two pained adults with their problems but when he opened his eyes, Marron and Trunks were kissing. They didn't explain it to the doctor but he knew they didn't want the baby. They knew he got the wrong impression about them, them being how old they were and not wanting a child but that wasn't it at all. He sneered at them and said something about "immature teenagers" under his breath and left. They left the Medical Center smiling. They went to Erica's house and gathered her things. Erica was stumped too. When she came home her parents greeted her nicely and Bra was happy to see that things were back to normal. They saw each other everyday after and in school, before school and any other possible time they could.  

About four months later . . .. 

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Bra and Marron were jumping up and down screaming. 
"OH MY GOSH!" Trunks came downstairs and did his eyebrow thing. Bra ran over to him and showed him her hand. On her left hand there was a beautiful gold ring with a white diamond in the middle. It had two smaller diamonds on the sides. And in front of it there was a gold band. Trunks looked at his sister in a weird way.
"He proposed? Are you engaged?" She nodded furiously, her hair waving around in all directions.
"When?"
"Last night!" She yelled. Marron and her bounced for another hour before they had to sit down. Trunks, by then was up in his room figuring maybe Marron and him should too . . .. But was it the right time? He had his hands behind his head staring at the ceiling from his bed.  
About the time everyone on the face of the planet knew Bra was engaged there was a knock on his door.
"Ya?"
"Can I come in?" It was Marron's voice.
"Ya." She opened the door and put only her head in.
"Am I interrupting?"
"No." She came in closing the door behind her. 
"I know what you've been up here doing. I haven't seen you in at least two hours.
"So?"
"You know it and I know it. Neither of us are ready to make that commitment to each other right now."
"That's how I feel too." She sat down and he sat up. They kissed. They talked for a little over an hour and went home to tell her parents about Bra (who actually already knew). 
Trunks still couldn't get over how they were engaged and they'd be getting married. Bonded for life. He couldn't imagine himself getting married. He pictured his father. It sent a shiver up his spine. He shook his head and envisioned Marron walking down the aisle but all he saw was her face. He fell asleep and dreamt   
Of them handing him a girl in the hospital and saying "Here's the proud father!" and numerous people in the room clapping and seeing Marron sitting up in bed, exhausted but beautiful, her hair gracefully falling over her face and her green eyes glittering with her proudness. 

He awoke to more screams and he figured maybe that the diamond fell out of the ring but Nope, that wasn't it because they started getting shriller like when girls got happy. The phone rang but Bra answered it because she thought it might be someone to congratulate her on her wedding but it was just Tony having another party and he gladly accepted for an excuse to get out of the house. Bra didn't investigate why Tony had called and Trunk's didn't tell her about the party but instead called Marron. He imagined Bra going over and showing all the girls her ring and then a boy trying to hit on her and her trying to explain she was getting married. 
"Ya I'll come." 
"Just to be with me or because you're bored out of your mind having Bra call you and say how pretty the ring is?" 
"Just to be with you." 
"Liar." 
"Okay maybe a bit because of Bra but mostly because of you. There are you happy?" 
"I am. See you in a few okay?" 
"Okay, love you." 
"Love you too." They hung up and left. 

"Hey!" Marron called from behind him. Trunks slowed down and smiled. He forgot she could fly. They landed and decided to walk. They held hands and they talked and laughed and then determined that they would skip the party and just have a night out. They went to a cafe and they discussed their plans for the future. Trunks had no idea what he wanted to do. 


* * * 

And Keunai? Whatever became of him? He had asked Bra for her hand in marriage but she was engaged. He had a restraining order put on him for stalking Bra and eventually put in jail for drunk driving. He also tried to kill Goten but . . .. Let's just say that didn't work out to well on his part. 


Next! 


(This is if I never right the sequel and you'll be in the dark!) 
Bra and Goten got married of course and eventually Marron and Trunks followed. Bra and Goten have a baby girl named Branna and Trunks and Marron have a boy although that boys name is not determined yet. And blah, blah! I probably will write a sequel so I'm going on about nothing! 


Author's Note ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that's how it happened, I guess. There were lots parts I had to edit out. If there is a sequel, look under Trunks and Marron fics and look for "Nikki" or "Lauryn" as the author! Hope you enjoyed it! 

These characters are not my property and . . . just don't sue me for writing a story about them! 

FIN!
