Never Say Goodbye
Chapter 1&2


** this is a 'what if mirai fic..I mean what if Dr. Gero won..and Bebi Vegeta ruled the world as his body gaurd and killed anyone who stood in his way?**

Trunks held Pan steady fast in his arms. The explosion soon passed over them. " Damn the androids..." He cursed as the smoke raised from the Earth. Time passed and he lossned his grip on her. " It`s ok..Pan..I think..it`s over.." Pan blinked back eyeing him in near fallen tears. His saiyan hard features softened as he caressed her cheek. " It`s ok..I`ll always protect you Pan-chan.." It was a promise he intended to keep..forever.

The house was warn but it was home. A quiet second lapses as the arguments start again. " I CANT BELIVE YOU STILL WANT TO FIGHT THEM!! GOTEN..ARE YOU MADD?" Bra was eyeing her husband in a blind fury. "The death of ur father..and my father..and our faimlies..isnt enough to tell you...not to fight?" Her body stood apart from his. "Bra-chan..I have to..for..Gokuu`s sake.." Tears would have fallen..of she hadnt shed so many already for him. " Goten..if you leave..what will I do to survive...alone?" His hands ran over her shoulders in little comfort. " Bra..dont be afraid we can defeat them...I know how..just...just trust me..k?" Bra`s eyes softened and he smiled down to her. " If you`re lieng Son ten..I`ll kill u myself for leaving me.."

Trunks and Pan landed a few feet from the home of Goten and Bra. It was one of the last standing capsule homes in this world. It was habit for the remaning fighters to meet there everynight. " Trunks..will you be going with Goen..tomorrow..to raid the lab of Dr. Gero`s?" Trunks looked back and smiled coyly to her. " Hai..I am.." Pan stopped before they reached the front stepp. " Trunks..if you go..I`m coming with you.." She could see the denial in his eyes. " No..I want to fight..and dont try to make me see sense..Trunks.." He knew better then to argue with Pan. " Hai..Pan-san.."

Bra was nearly finshed with dinner when Trunks and Pan arrived home. There were smiles and relived looks knowing that everyone was safe this evening. " What is for dinner Bra-chan.." There was a slight movemnt as she placed a steaming Pan full of fish onto the table. " FISH!!" Trunks..Pan..and even Goten blinked with sweatdrops on thier faces. This was the eighth time this week fish was served. " Mayb...maybe i should go and wake up Gokuu and Bardock....." Pan said not wanting to make Bra upset. Trunks nodded " Yeah..I`ll help..incase they need changing..or something.." That left poor Goten to eat all the fish Bra had cooked. " Well Goten arent u gonna digg in before they come back with the babies?" A red faced Goten sat solemly in his chair and ate.

Even in this bleack time line life still lived on Earth. Goten and Bra had given birth to Gokuu jr...and Pan and Trunks had Bardock jr. Each child was strong and held promise there would be a tomorrow..as long as thier diapers were changed. Pan smiled down at her sleeping son. He was such a angel in this state. She had known since birth he had Vegeta in him. The black hair and widows peak. Strands of lavender envaded his licks of black. It was easy to see he was a saiyan. A long tail slipped out of his backside. "You think it was wrong of us to keep thier tails?" Trunks leaned over and smiled to his son. " Yeah..no harm in making sure they grow up to surpass SSJ4.." Pan sighed not sure if what they were doing was right.

" I told you..to EAT..and you act like it`s the worst thing u ever tasted.." Goten forced another pieace down his pipe. " Nani..no this isnt the worst..what u served last nite was the worst ....eh..umm Bra..I.." Goten saw the fumes coming from her body. She went to tell him off..but a baby`s cry stopped her assult. " You`re lucky Gokuu is a baby.....still..I`ll be back to DEAL with you later..Son ten..and you BETTER eat it all..!!"


Chapter 2

Bra entered her wailing son`s room. His cries were never silenced until she plopped the bottle into his face.. Why had she allowed Goten to make her so weak. It had not been her idea to have a child. Bra had felt it to harsh of a place to raise him..but it seemed fate..illed her to motherhood..

~Flashback~

" Goten..why can`t you stay another night..with me.." Her please were helped by moving hands along his shirt. They had been married a few moments ago and already he talked of leaving her. " It isnt a choice Bra..We have to fight for the love we share.." His hand was running along her tear stained cheek. " But...." He lowered his mouth to her own. A passioned kiss fumed by a basic need. " Goten..dont leave...stay..........."

~End flashback~

Bra eyed the result of that night in her arms. His quiet demenor was only for a moment. A bottle empty ment..a upset baby. Bra cuddled her son into her arms. " I know why we must fight..but how many will die..because of our love?"

Trunks and Pan both stepped into the kitchen and Goten was stuffing his face with fish. They both decided it was better not to ask. " Bardock is sleeping better now that we moved out here..I`m glad you and Bra could figure a way to capsule this house.." Trunks smiled following his wife to the sink. A open window cast a slight breeze along Pan`s face. He had never seen a more beautiful woman. Her spirit was strong...and her love for him even stronger. His heart knew he would die for her and his child. " I think the training is helping him be more tired..heh.." Pan half smiled and started to place away some dishes. " I wish we didnt have to train them so much..thier so little.." Trunks let out a low sigh and eyed out to the setting sun. " Maybe oneday..if we stop..Bebi..they wont.."

- The next morning -

Bra awoke later then usual. She noted the space beside her was cold..and empty. Goten must have left earlier then this morrining. She swung her bare feet around and forced her body to its feet. " I wish..it wasnt so bright...in the morrining.." Her feet padded past the crib with Gokuu asleep. She smiled and continued her way down the hall. There was a note on the table for her.

It read : Dear Bra..dont wait up for us..We`ll be back as soon as we can..keep a extra dish out for us when dinner is ready k?

.............love Goten...

She set the note down sighing to herself. " Ohh Goten..Trunks..please may Kami smile on u today..."
