Old Kai paced around impatiently, waiting for the two saiyans to show up. He was just about to contact Goku to tell him to hurry up, when a small whooshing sound signaled the pair's arrival.

"It's about time you got here!" He said, spinning around to face them. But any more harsh words he had vanished when he saw the condition Trunks was in. The young saiyan looked like he'd been through hell. "Trunks...I'm so sor-"

Trunks cut the elder Kai off. "If you brought me here to give me your sympathy, I don't want it. I just want my wife back."

From behind the group, the Supreme Kai spoke. "Actually Trunks, that's why we called you here."

Turning around, Trunks's heart skipped a few beats at the sight he saw. The Supreme Kai was standing there, a smile on his face. And next to him...was Pan.

Pan smiled when she saw Trunks. His face was pale, there were dark circles under his eyes, his hair was a mess...and he was the most beautiful sight she had ever seen. "Trunks..." She whispered, and then ran into his arms.

"Pan..." The demi-saiyan said, tears falling from his eyes. "Oh Kami, I missed you."

Goku grinned widely as he watched the reunion taking place before him. Walking over to the Kais he put his hands on his hips. "While this is a good thing, Pan's still dead. She can't go anywhere but here and Otherworld." When he saw the smirk on Old Kai's face, Goku frowned. "What exactly are you planning to do?"

The Old Kai smiled softly. "The same thing we did for you."

Just then, Pan and Trunks walked up next to Goku, Trunks's arm around his wife's waist. "What do you mean?" Pan asked.

Supreme Kai looked at Pan. "Years ago, when Goku fought Majin Buu, he was actually dead. The Grand Kai arranged for him to come back for a day for the Tournament. That's when Babadi attacked. At one point, we brought your father here to train with the Z-sword. Shortly after he went back to Earth, he was absorbed by Buu."

The Old Kai continued. "So to help in the fight, I gave my life to Goku, so he could go back and continue the battle."

Trunks grinned. "I remember that! I was only eight. My dad and Goku used a Spirit Bomb to defeat Kid Buu." He looked at Goku. "If you had still been dead, we never would have been able to save Earth."

"But what does that have to do with me?" Pan asked, stepping away from Trunks.

"I'm not going anywhere Pan." The Old Kai said, walking over to the young woman. "You however, are. You have a family. Two children and a husband who need you."

Closing his eyes, he concentrated for a few moments. Suddenly, the halo that was floating over Pan's head vanished, and re-appeared over the Old Kai's. "You need to live for them. It's not your time yet."

Pan stood there for a moment, jaw hanging open. "Th...thank you." She said. Then she leaned over and kissed the old man lightly on the cheek. "I can't tell you much this means to me. To us."

Trunks grinned widely as he walked up behind Pan and wrapped his arms around her. "I don't know how we can ever repay you."

"Well, he's happy." The Supreme Kai said, looking at the Old Kai, who now had stars in his eyes from the kiss. "But really, you've all done so much already. You don't need to repay us. Just keep doing what you do. But now, you need to go home Pan." He looked at Goku "Your family is starting to wonder what's going on."

Goku nodded and walked up next to Pan and Trunks and put his arm over their shoulders. "Thank you, again." He said, and then placed two fingers to his forehead. Seconds later, the trio disappeared.

Back at Capsule Corp., everyone else waited impatiently for Goku and Trunks to return. Gohan sat on the couch and looked at his mother, who was talking quietly to Bulma and Videl. Standing up, he walked over to the women. "Mom?"

"Hm?"

"Did dad say anything about what was going on?"

Chi Chi shook her head. "No. He just said that we needed to get over here right away. Why?"

Gohan shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno. I've just got a funny feeling about something."

Videl frowned. "Is anything wrong?"

"I'm not sure. I just have a...feeling."

Videl was about to question him further when Goku appeared in the middle of the room with Trunks. Gohan spun around. "Dad, what's going on?"

Goku merely shook his head as stepped aside to reveal Pan, who was standing behind him.

Gohan froze and his eyes widened when he saw his daughter. "Panny?" He asked quietly as Videl slowly stood up and moved over to him. "Is it really you?"

Pan nodded and stepped forward to hug her parents. "Yes daddy. It's really me."

"But...how?" Videl asked.

"The Old Kai gave me a life. Just like he did for Grandpa Goku."

Trunks smiled as he watched, then walked over to Goten who was standing by the stairs. "Where are the girls?"

"Upstairs. Your sister just put them down for a nap."

Trunks nodded and quietly headed up the stairs as Pan continued to hug her family. After a few minutes, a little girl's voice rang through the air. "Mommy! You came back!"

Pan turned around just in time to catch Duvessa as she launched herself into her mother's arms. "Duvessa! I missed you so much!"

Trunks grinned as he slowly descended the stairs, cradling his precious cargo in his arms. When he reached the bottom, he called out Pan's name.

The room fell silent as the mother looked at her husband and her hand went to her mouth as tears started falling from her eyes. Trunks walked over to Pan and gently placed the infant in her arms. Afraid her legs would fail her, Pan sat on the couch and smiled down at her youngest daughter.

Duvessa took the opportunity to climb onto the sofa next to her mother as Trunks sat down on the opposite side. "I hope you're not mad, but I picked out a name for her. Daddy likes it...but I wasn't sure you would."

Pan ran her hand through Duvessa's hair. "Of course I'm not angry sweetie. What did you pick out?"

"Mira Iona. Mira means wonderful in Latin, and Iona means purple jewel in Greek." The little girl paused for a moment. "Do you like it?"

Pan smiled. "I love it Duvessa. It's a perfect name."

Several hours later, Pan sat curled up on the sofa in the living room. She was talking with several other people, and at the current moment, feeling very much like a human pillow. Duvessa was curled up asleep next to her, with her head on her lap; Mira was sleeping soundly in her arms, having just been feed. And Trunks...Trunks was snoring softly next to her, his head resting on her shoulder. Pan smiled softly. She wouldn't have it any other way.

Bulma chuckled at the sight before her. "You know..." Bulma said. "He hasn't slept in days. Barely eaten...we've all been worried sick about him."

Bra nodded. "Mom was worried that he might do something drastic, so she made sure someone was with him all the time."

Pan frowned slightly. "Drastic? How drastic?"

"Drastic as in suicide." Gohan said.

Pan shook her head. "I don't think he would have done something like that. The girls..."

Bulma cut her off. "The girls were the only think keeping him alive, I think."

The quarter-saiyan sat there for a moment, thinking about what she had just been told. She didn't want to believe that Trunks would do something like that...but it was hard not to believe it. After a few more seconds, Pan shifted slightly. "I think it's time to put the girls in bed."

Bulma nodded, knowing Pan didn't want to discuss it any further. She smiled as her daughter-in-law tried to wake Trunks up.

Smirking at the fact that her husband slept like a rock, Pan leaned over to whisper in his ear. "Trunks...dinner's ready."

Immediately, Trunks shot up. "Food? Where?"

Everyone in the room laughed. Trust a saiyan to react at the prospect of food. Pan shook her head. "Come on, you goofball. Help me get the girls in bed."

Trunks nodded and gently lifted Duvessa in his arms. Then Pan stood up, and together, the two went upstairs to their suite.

Once Duvessa and Mira were sleeping soundly in their rooms, Pan and Trunks walked into the hallway, and Trunks quickly swept Pan up into a passionate kiss. She tried to regain her composure as he trailed kisses across her cheek and down her neck, but she found it rather difficult. Finally, she found her voice. "Trunks..." She managed to rasp out. "We shouldn't..."

"Why?" He murmured against her neck, causing a shiver to run down her spine.

"The girls-"

"Are asleep."

"But everyone's downstairs..." Pan whispered.

Trunks pulled away and looked into Pan's eyes. "Pan, the last three days have been a living hell for me. Without you...I can't function. It was all I could do to keep from killing myself."

Pan lowered her head. "I know."

Trunk took her face in his hands and forced her to look at him in the eye. "I never want to feel like that again. Don't you ever leave me. I don't know what I'd do..."

Pan smiled and lightly caressed Trunks's cheek. "Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere." She said, just before kissing him again.

Trunks smirked and lifted his wife into his arms, carrying her to their room. Life was short. And he was going to be damned if he was going to waste any more time thinking about what once was. He would much rather spend the time living in what was to come.

THE END.

Wow. This turned longer that I had expected. And it got so many good reviews! Over 150. Thank you all so much for sticking with me. I had briefly thought about writing a sequil to the story, and that's what I was going to ask you about. I wanted to see how many readers wanted one, but after I finished this chapter, I decided against one. However, eventually, there will be a companion piece to this one, centering on Goten and Bra.
