Falling For You

26- Falling For You

Trunks woke up with a strangled gasp. His heart was drumming in his ears, and his body felt hot.

His dream had been so vivid. He and Pan had been pressed together. Her soft gasps and moans still echoed in his ears, causing him to let out a shaky breath.

Trunks knew that it wasn't just a dream. It was a memory. It had to have been as real as it felt.

Over the last few months, Trunks had remembered fragments of Pan. Most of his memories were still gone, unfortunately. What he did remember were mostly little things that came to him at the most random times, but Trunks always liked it when it would happen. He felt like he was getting closer to remembering all of Pan.

Trunks let out a heavy sigh as he closed his eyes. All he needed to do was take a few deep breaths and calm himself down. But that was proving to be a challenge because he couldn't stop thinking about the memory he had dreamed about.

"Stop it," he muttered to himself as he slapped his palm against his forehead. He wasn't too surprised about having such a dream about Pan, but it felt wrong to have them when he didn't remember her as he should.

With a groan, Trunks got out of his bed and headed towards the bathroom. There was no way he could forget that dream.

"Do I really need this much?" Pan asked with wide eyes as she looked at the carts full of baby clothes, toys, and accessories. She and the rest of the women had went shopping for the day, and soon it turned into shopping for the baby.

"Of course!" Chi-Chi nodded. "It might seem like a lot, Panny, but trust me, you'll need it and more."

"I'm not sure about that," Pan mumbled under her breath. What newborn needed ten different strollers?

"Uh-huh!" Bulma agreed with a nod. "Nothing but the best for my grandbaby!"

"You should have known better than to ask that where your Mom and Bulma are concerned," Marron told Pan with a grin.

"Look!" Bulla rushed over to them suddenly. Her cart was full of outfits, and most of them were pink. There were more than enough hair bows in there as well.

"And Bulla," Marron added.

"Bulla," Pan gasped. "I don't even know what I'm having yet!"

"Well, if it's not a girl, we'll just turn the hair bows into bow ties," she shrugged with a grin.

Pan let out a heavy sigh and sat down on the bench nearby. Marron took a seat beside her and shook her head in amusement at the other women.

"Are you alright?"

Pan's lips twitched, "yeah, I'm alright. I'm glad they're so excited about it," she giggled.

Pan wasn't the type of person to get overly excited about shopping, though maybe after she found out what she would have, she would grow more excited. It was the beginning of November, and she was just barely over four months along. She would have to wait another month before finding out the sex of the baby.

"Where are you and Trunks going to put all that stuff?" Marron chuckled in amusement as she looked at the carts.

"Honestly, I don't know," Pan laughed. "I think some of the strollers can stay at Mama and Papa's house, and some more can stay at Brief Manor."

By the time the baby arrived, Trunks would have his memories back, and they would be all together like they should be. Every day, Trunks remembered Pan more, and her heart always raced when he did.
