"Stolen Youth"Written By: Debs-Dragon Disclaimer: I don't own the DBZ gang, a rich Japanese man does. Rating: NC 17 Warnings: Angst, sap, Lemon, violence, nasty Trunks. Notes: A New Years eve party is in full swing at Capsule Corp. Goten and Trunks sample the punch which gets them drunk. Pan has admired Trunks for some time and when he makes his advances she doesn't resist. What happens destroys her trust and faith? Alone and hurting Pan disappears. Authors Notes: I have taken a few liberties with the timeline. Pan is older in this in order for the story to work, I'm afraid that under age sex is not something I condone and as such I have tweaked the time lines to make all characters of consenting age. :) Feedback: Is craved and adored. "Stolen Youth" January 2003 Debs-dragon Chapter 7 Pan twisted her hands nervously as she waited in the small room. She hadn't been feeling well of late and after throwing up for the last three days in succession she thought she had better do something about it. So here she was, waiting for her name to be called at the doctor' surgery. Another feeling of fatigue and nausea washed over her and she hoped fervently that she wasn't coming down with something. College was due to start back in two weeks and she was looking forward to returning. While life had moved on she still couldn't get over Trunks and his continuing life with girls always around him and him taking what he could get. Now she could see him and his ways more clearly and she regretted even more having let him have his way with her. In short she felt cheap and dirty. Her head jerked up as the nurse called her name and she rose slowly to pass through the door and into the small office. The doctor sat across from her and motioned for her to take a seat. "So Pan. What brings you here today?" His soft blue eyes twinkled and his face wore a genuine smile. "I haven't been feeling too good these past few days." "Oh? Tell me what are your symptoms?" "I've been feeling a little tired, I thought I may have not been getting enough sleep at first and I have been skipping the odd meal." "Hmmmm." The doctor made a few notes. "Anything else?" "Yes. The past three days I have been feeling nauseous and have vomited a couple of times." "Right. Let's take a look at you then." The doctor rose and motioned for Pan to hope up on the small bed. He fetched a thermometer and stethoscope. Pan climbed on the bed and allowed him to stick the thermometer in her mouth. The doctor placed the stethoscope on her back and listened intently. "Take a deep breath..... Good, now exhale slowly..." He moved his stethoscope. "Again..." Pan continued to breath in and out while the doctor listened to her internal workings. The thermometer was removed and he looked at it intently. "Normal." he muttered and noted down a few more things on the file. "Okay. Lie down I want to have a feel of your tummy. Pan obliged and tried not to jump as her abdomen was prodded and poked. She was ticklish in some places. "Fine." The doctor turned around and picked up a small container. "Can you please go into the bathroom and give me a small sample?" Pan blushed a little but took the cup and obediently went into the small room that adjoined the office. Moments later she returned and handed the container over. The doctor took it. "I won't be a moment. I just need to do a couple of tests." With that he left Pan alone in the room. Pan stared around as she waited. She hoped it wasn't something serious. Hopefully she was just a little run down and a course of vitamins would help out. The door opened softly and the doctor re entered the room. Pan looked up expectantly. The doctor sat and scribbled a little more in his file before folding his hands upon the desk and leaning forward. His expression didn't give Pan a clue as to what he was thinking. "So, do you know what's wrong with me doctor?" The doctor sighed. "Yes I do." "And?" Pan was beginning to feel a little apprehensive. A nervous tremor passed through her body, she didn't like the way the doctor was looking at her. "Pan..... Tell me... when did you have your last period?" Pan scrunched her face as she thought. "Errr..... about eight weeks ago I think." She couldn't really remember. She hated her periods and did her best to forget about them. Her blood suddenly ran cold as her mind grasped onto a thought. "You're not going to say what I think you are.... Are you?" "I'm afraid you are pregnant Pan. I'm not sure whether to congratulate or commiserate but I get the feeling it is going to be the latter." Pan felt like she had been run over by an angry Goten in a sparring session. Her head reeled and she thought she was going to faint. She felt the doctor push her head between her knees and slowly the world stopped spinning. Finally able to focus again she looked up into concerned eyes. "I gather you had no idea Pan?" "N...no. I didn't... that is I can't understand how?" The doctor gave her a bemused smile. "Well I am sure your parents gave you the little talk on the facts of life Pan.." "Yes I know how babies are made doctor but..." The it hit her. "Trunks." she whispered. "I take it you know who the father is?" Pan gave him a dirty look. "Of course I do!" "I'm sorry Pan. I didn't mean for that to come out the way it did." "It's okay doc." Pan slumped forward. "Want to tell me about it?" the doctor asked. Feeling completely defeated Pan gave the doctor a rather condensed version of what had happened all those weeks ago with Trunks. She managed to omit certain parts though, she didn't think the doctor needed to know all the gory details. The doctor thought for a moment. "Are you going to tell the father?" "What's the point." muttered Pan. "He has a right to know." "Does he?" Pans eyes darkened. "I don't think so doc. He has made it quite clear to me that he had no intention of taking our relationship any further. The last thing I need now is for him to have another excuse to group me with his other conquests or think I'm trying to trap him." "Then what is it you propose to do my dear?" Pan sighed. "I have no idea. I guess I need to do some serious thinking." The doctor reached forward and patted her hand gently. "I suggest you do that. Think things over a little. This has been quite a shock to you. I suggest you also tell your parents Pan...." "NO!!!" "You might be surprised. Parents can be very understanding at times like these." "No." It was the doctors turn to sigh. "I can't force you into anything Pan, I can only recommend. If your parents find out it wont be from me as I am bound by patient confidentiality. But I suggest that you do tell them, also decide what it is you are going to do." "Going to do?" Pan's eyes looked uncertain. "If you wish to terminate the pregnancy then you only have a couple more weeks to do that. After that it is too late." Pan ran her hand absently over her stomach. "I need to go think doctor... This is all a bit much at the moment. I'm sure you understand." "Yes Pan. I understand. If you have any more questions or need my help you know where to find me okay?" "Thank you doctor." Pan rose from the chair and left the doctors rooms. Once out into the warm sunlight she walked slowly as her mind turned over the events. With a quick look around to make sure no one was watching she lifted into the air and flew off in the direction of the lake by her home. She needed peace and quiet to think. She arrived at the lake a little while later, pleased to note that no one else was around. She sat and leaned against her favorite tree and lost herself in her thoughts. Breaking down the information into smaller bits she began to analyze and study each part, trying to find a solution. Okay, she was pregnant. That explained her nausea and fatigue. Not a whole lot could be done about that. She contemplated the doctors suggestion of a termination but quickly dismissed it. There was no way she could go through with something like that. So she had made one decision then. She was going to keep the child. Now her parents. She shuddered. She would have to tell them. Something of this magnitude couldn't be put off for long. As her pregnancy advanced so she would begin to show and there was no way she could disguise that from her mother. Trying to pass of the swelling stomach as weight gain wouldn't sit either. She pushed that one into the 'to be worked out' part of her mind. Now to Trunks. He was the father, of that there was no doubt. Part of her knew she should tell him about the child but the other part of her refused. She had no doubt that he would deny all part of it. She could just picture the scene now. He would try to undermine her by accusing her of sleeping around, blame her for the mess. He would look at it as another way to trap him into marriage, and that was something she didn't want. A tear escaped her eye. Try as she might she had only been fooling herself, thinking she could find someone else. Her heart belonged to Trunks no matter how much she denied it but he would never return the feelings. She knew that only too well. So what to do? No she wouldn't tell him... she couldn't but she needed to talk to someone, the problem was who? She couldn't tell Bra as Bra being Trunks' sister would feel obligated to tell her brother. If she talked to Goten he would then feel compelled to tell her parents. That left Marron. Marron was a part of their circle and a sweet girl. While Pan wasn't as close to Marron as she was to Bra she still shared a strong friendship with the blonde girl and knew she could trust her. "Looks like it's going to be Marron then." thought Pan. While she knew she wouldn't be getting any miracle solutions it would make her feel better to know she had spoken to someone. Who knows... maybe Marron could give her some advice. She stood up and dusted off her jeans before flying off in the direction of Marron's home. ~ oOo ~ Krillin sensed Pan's ki as she neared the small island that was his home. His eyes followed the speck as it became larger and larger until the girl landed on the patch of sand before him. "Hello Pan." "Hi there Krillin. Um would Marron be at home?" "Yes. She's inside in her room I think. Go on up." Krillin smiled. "Thanks." Pan headed off to the house. She passed Juu who was busy in the kitchen and made her way up the stairs. She stopped outside Marron's door and knocked softly. "Who is it?" came the soft voice. "It's Pan." The door opened and Marron smiled at the dark haired girl. "Come on in Pan, it's good to see you." Pan stepped inside and glanced around. Soft music was coming from the stereo and an open magazine lay on the bed. Marron had obviously been reading. "So to what do I owe this pleasure." asked Marron. "I thought I would drop by and see you." replied Pan. Marron sat back down on her bed, her eyes narrowed a little in thought. "Come on Pan, I know you better than that. Something is on your mind." Pan shrugged. "Okay spit it out girl, it can't be that bad." Marron smiled and then paled as she saw Pan's face pale a little and tears begin to fall. "Maybe it can be that bad" she thought. She stood up again and pulled Pan into a warm embrace. She rubbed the other girls back in an attempt to soothe her a little. "Come on Panny, tell me what it is that is bothering you." Allowing Marron to guide her to the bed Pan continued to cry. All the hurt, anger, frustration and uncertainty that had been building finally broke free and she sobbed. Marron waited patiently for the torrent to slow, soothing with gentle touches, whispering comforting words as Pan continued to shake with her emotions. After a while the tears began to slow and the offered tissues were taken. Lifting Pan's face from her shoulder Marron looked into the red rimmed eyes of her friend. "That's better. Do you think you can tell me what is wrong now?" Pan sniffed. "Sorry Marron. I didn't mean to break down on you like that." "Shhh It's okay. I don't mind but I can't help you if I don't know what the problem is." Pan took a deep breath. "Promise me something?" "Sure." "You will listen to what I have to say with an open mind... that you won't pas judgment or say anything until I am finished?" "If that's what you want Pan. I'm listening." Pan began her tale. She didn't gloss over any of the facts she just spoke of them in a cold monotone, completely devoid of any emotion. She started with the New Years Eve Party and her meeting with Trunks. She explained what Trunks had said and her acceptance of the fact that he wasn't looking to settle down any time soon and certainly not with her. She told of her attempts to forget about Trunks and find someone else. Then she dropped the biggest of her bombshells. "Are you sure Pan?" "You think I would lie about something like this!?" "No... No of course not." Marron quickly attempted to recall her error. "It's just that sometimes mistakes can happen." "As much as I wish for it not this time I'm afraid." said Pan ruefully. "Oh Pan... What are you going to do?" "That's just it Marron. I don't know what to do. If I tell Trunks then he is only going to despise me more as well as deny anything. He will think it's just another ploy to get him to the altar." "Hmmmm.... I think he needs a good kick up the backside at times." Marron frowned. "What about your parents?" "I know I have to tell them but Marron... what are they going to think of me? They will hate me I just know it. It will kill dad. You know how strong he is on morals and the right reasons for things. Something like this will devastate him." Pan looked up sadly. "I think you might be amazed Pan. Your mom and dad are a lot more understanding and forgiving that you give them credit for I think." Marron changed tack. "Have you decided what you are going to do about the baby? I mean there are other options... termination, adoption, keeping the child...." "I wont terminate the child." Pan's voice was flat. "No, no of course not. What about the other options then?" "I hadn't really thought about that. I guess I thought I only had the choice of termination or keeping the child." Pan's mind was once again in a whirl. "I don't know a whole lot about it all Pan but my advice to you would be to talk to your parents, let them know what is happening and what did happen. Parents can surprise you at times. I'm sure they will have a lot better idea of what you can do." Pan thought about Marron's words. She knew she was right but putting the advice into practice was where the hard part came in. Pan glanced at her watch. "I had better get going Marron. Please don't tell anyone about this, and I mean anyone. What was said here today remains here okay?" "My lips are sealed Pan. I wont breathe a word." "Thanks Marron." Pan gave her friend a hug. "I'll mull things over for a bit before I decide what to do but I will let you know." "Okay Pan." Marron followed Pan downstairs and outside. "You take care okay? I'll be right here if you need me." "Thanks Marron, I appreciate that." With a warm smile Pan took to the sky and headed for home. Marron wandered back inside locked in her own thoughts over Pan's revelation. ~ oOo ~
