Leave Out All The Rest

Forever

27- Forever

Trunks was nervous, and he knew it was ridiculous to feel that way. He had taken Pan to her doctor's appointment earlier, and by the time they left the office, it was snowing hard. Roads were already closing, and Trunks knew it would be dangerous for them to drive to the East District, so he offered for Pan to stay with him for the night. Trunks knew his nerves were silly. Pan had lived with him before he had lost his memories. And he was glad she was there. It felt normal.

With a sigh, Trunks shook his head. He felt like he was going on his first date or something. It was just Pan, the person he was the most comfortable around.

Trunks picked up the ultrasound picture they had gotten earlier at Pan's appointment. Their baby was thriving, and Trunks smiled fondly as he looked at the picture. They had gotten a 3D ultrasound done so they could see the baby better. Trunks had been amazed from the very beginning at just how much the ultrasound picked up. They had caught the baby sucking its thumb and yawning. They were even able to find out the baby's sex.

Their little girl favored Pan a lot. Trunks could see it in the small nose and cheeks. It made him happy, and he used a magnet to put the picture on his icebox.

"I know Christmas is just in two days, but it's going to be so hard to keep what the baby is a secret," Pan said as she walked into the kitchen.

Trunks turned to look at her, and his eyes widened slightly as his cheeks started to feel warm. Since she would be staying over, she had decided to change into some pajamas. Pan still had some of her clothes there, but none of them would have fit her now that her stomach was so swollen. Trunks had found some of his clothes for her to wear, and seeing her in them made his heart drum in his ears. They were big on her, and she looked comfortable.

Trunks smiled at her. They had decided to reveal the baby's gender at Christmas when everyone would be together. "It's just two days," he told her gently. "You can do it. Are you hungry?"

"I'm always hungry," she grinned.

"Of course," he chuckled. "What are you hungry for?" Trunks couldn't make grand meals, but he did know how to make several quick and easy meals.

"Hm," Pan furrowed her brows together cutely. "French toast?"

"Alright," he nodded with a smile. "Go sit down, and I'll make us some."

"I can help," she told him with a pout.

"You've had a busy day today, and you walked a lot," Trunks told her. "Go rest," he motioned to the living room.

Pan let out a heavy sigh and nodded her head slowly. "Okay," she mumbled. "Dumpling and I will go cuddle then," she said as she walked into the living room.

Trunks watched her go with a fond smile. He felt himself growing jealous of Dumpling and shook his head with a chuckle.

Pan felt content. Extremely content. her back was against Trunks' chest, and he had an arm across her chest, holding her close as they watched a movie. It was growing late, but neither one of them had moved.

With a sigh, Pan rolled her head, so it was resting on Trunks' other arm. His hand had been gently rubbing her stomach, and it was making her tired. Their baby seemed to enjoy his touch too because she had grown still as if he had lulled her to sleep.

"Trunks," she spoke up softly.

"Hm?" His voice was gentle.

"Have you thought of any names?" Pan asked curiously. She had made a promise to herself not to start looking until they knew the gender of the baby, and now that they knew they would be having a little girl, Pan wanted to name her quickly.
