Goten sat in the grass in his secret place.

What had gotten into him he thought. He never acted this way before. Taking his anger out on Gohan was not the way to handle the situation. He was screwed. If he didn't break it off with Bra, Valese would expose him and destroy his family. On the other hand, Bra would never forgive him and hate him for the rest of his life.

The decision wasn't an easy one. He and Bra had been fighting constantly lately. It crossed his mind a few times to end it, but she had him locked in.

He was so conflicted, but his family shouldn't have to suffer for his bad choices.

He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He reached to get it and saw it was Valese texting him.

Goten didn't want to open the message. He knew why she was texting, but she would have to wait for a response.

He received another text, this one from his mom: 'come home now!'

He figured Gohan must have told. He prepared himself for the onslaught awaiting him at home.

He picked himself up and flew into the night.

Goten walked in through the front and immediately felt the tension.

"You have a lot of explaining to do," Chichi yelled, meeting him at the front door.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I promise I'll break it…"

"Whatever issue you and Gohan have with each other, you two better fix it!"

She grabbed her tray of tea and headed back to her room. "Your father went out looking for you! And you better fix this hole in the wall!"

Goten felt a huge sigh of relief that Gohan had not told, even though he wouldn't have blamed him if he had.

He walked up the stairs to his brother's room. He could hear Gohan and Videl talking behind the door. He stood outside wondering what he would say to him after everything that just happened.

He took a deep breath and opened the door. A tearful Videl and battered Gohan looked at him as he walked in.

"You shouldn't be here," She said, clutching the blood stained rag she used on her husband.

"Gohan, can we talk?"

"No," Videl yelled.

Gohan grabbed his wife's hand, "It's okay. Wait for me in Pan's room."

Videl turned to her husband, "Are you sure?"

He smiled and gave her a small nod. She leaned in and kissed the small part of his forehead that wasn't bruised. She checked his bandages and walked towards the door. She stopped and gave Goten an evil glare and closed the door behind her.

Gohan motioned for his brother, "come sit down."

Goten sat in the only chair in the room. He was disappointed by how badly he injured his brother.

He crouched forward in shame, resting his head in his hands. "I'm so sorry Gohan."

"I'll be alright. Dad went to get some senzu beans for me, and to look for you."

Gohan tried to turn over a bit, but he yelped in pain.

"Don't move!" Goten readjusted him in the bed and pulled the blankets over him. "Thanks for not telling mom by the way."

"Of course I wouldn't. You're my little brother, but you're not off the hook yet."

Goten sat back in the chair. He was too ashamed in himself to look up at his brother, but he had to tell him something.

"I was going to break it off with her. I swear I was. I was so caught up, I couldn't see straight."

"I can sit here and tell you what you shouldn't have done, but what's done is done and you can't change that. You know what you have to do now, so do it. Don't expect it to be easy. She's younger, and I'm sure she was more into you than the other way around."

Goten sat in silence for a moment contemplating the entire day.

Goten couldn't convince himself whether that was true or not. He told Bra he loved her on several occasions. He did things for her that he had never done for Valese. But it didn't matter, it was over and he had to move on.

Goten nodded in agreement, "yeah. You're right."

Bra left another voicemail for Goten. He hadn't called her in two weeks. She wondered if he was still mad about what happened between them at his house.

She called Marron, but she wasn't answering her phone either.

"Dammit!"

Bra got in her car to drive to her doctor's appointment. She wanted Marron to come along, but she hadn't returned her calls or texts in a week.

'Whatever!'

Bra made it to her appointment and waited for the doctor. She hadn't been to the gynecologist since she started having sex, but she figured since her and Goten were serious she'll see about birth control.

She took a urine and blood sample for the nurse. She removed her bottoms and waited for the doctor in the examination room.

"Hi Bra! Long time no see," the young red haired doctor said happily entering the room.

"Hi Doctor Nomi, yeah it's been awhile!"

"Looking into birth control, I see. Are you dating anyone, or just thinking about it?"

Bra smiled confidently, "dating and we're pretty serious."

"Well you're almost 18, so I think that's a good idea. You're a smart girl for coming here to protect yourself."

The doctor put on some gloves and told Bra to lie back.

Bra laid back on the noisy paper protector and lifted her feet onto the stirrups.

"Here comes the uncomfortable part." The doctor inserted the plastic speculum in her vagina, stretching it open.

It was cold and hard. The doctor removed it and inserted one finger in Bra's vagina and pressed down on her abdomen with the other hand.

"Hmmm…so how long have you been having sex."

"Ummm…about 6 months. Is everything okay?"

The doctor was silent as she removed her fingers from inside Bra's vagina and removed her gloves. She began looking at Bra's chart intensely.

"You did give a urine and blood sample when you came in didn't you?"

"Yes. Should I be worried?"

"I'm sure you're fine," the doctor reassured. "Are you experiencing any fatigue or anything out of the ordinary? Are your cycles normal?"

"I've been feeling fine and my cycles have always been irregular, but nothing unusual."

Bra leaned up from the cold examining bed befuddled, "is everything okay?"

"I'll check your urine sample to make sure. Just relax, I'll be back. You can get dressed in the meantime."

The doctor quickly left the room.

Bra grabbed her underwear and pants off the waiting chair to put them on. Her mind began to wonder.

She reached over into her purse and grabbed her cell phone. She dialed Marron's number, but she didn't answer.

"What the fuck Marron!" Bra sent her text: 'call me please, it's important!'

She called Goten, but it went straight to voicemail just like it's been for the last two weeks.

She threw the phone back in her purse. 'Maybe it's nothing. It's all in my head'

She paced back and forth in the room waiting for the doctor to return; it was taking forever. She was ready to grab her stuff and run out of the door when the doctor walked in.

She gave Bra a halfhearted smile and folded down the stirrups.

"You can sit Ms. Briefs."

Bra picked up her purse and sat in the chair clutching it in her lap.

"So we got your results from the urine sample back, and…it looks like you're pregnant."

Bra felt her heart sink in her stomach. The doctor was talking, but she couldn't hear anything she was saying. She could only make out bits and pieces.

"We can schedule an ultrasound for next week. Your blood results will take a few days to come in. We'll be able to determine how far along you are. Will your boyfriend be excited about the news?"

"I don't know," Bra said in shock. The room started to spin and Bra felt like she was going to vomit.

"Ms. Briefs? Bra, are you okay?"

Bra grabbed her bag and ran out of the door. She ran through the office and out of the building.

She jumped in her car and threw her purse into the passenger's seat.

She covered her face, digging her nails into her scalp. Pieces of her hair entangled her fingers.

She took a deep breath and grabbed her phone, frantically calling Marron.

The phone went to voicemail.

"Shit! Marron, I need to talk to you!"

Bra kept calling Marron, but it kept going to voicemail.

She decided to text Goten: 'Please please please call me! I'm sorry about how I acted. Just please text me back. I need you right now!

Bra sat her phone down and massaged her forehead.

'This can't be happening right now. My parents are going to kill me!'

Her phone beeping caught her attention.

'Meet me tonight 8. The usual spot.'

Bra quickly responded: 'Okay! Baby where have you been?! You're not still mad at me are you?'

Bra waited for a response, but it never came. She didn't want to wait in the parking lot of the doctor's any longer so she headed home to clear her mind. The drive home was somber. She turned on music to drown out her thoughts, but it didn't help.

She arrived home and sat in the car for a moment. So many thoughts ran through her mind.

'How far along am I? What will dad say?'

The thought of telling Vegeta made her sick to her stomach. She grabbed her purse and walked into the home.

"Hi honey!"

Bra greeted her grandmother and headed to her room. She lied in bed, staring at the ceiling.

She had to believe everything would be okay. Goten would never let anything happen to her; he loved her.

Bra grabbed a stuffed animal perched near her bed and snuggled up to it. She set her alarm for 7:30 and drifted off to sleep.

Bra anxiously waited for Goten at their usual spot. He was late, he was never late so it had to be for a good reason.

She grew more nervous by the second. She paced back and forth shaking her hands nervously.

She began to sense his ki nearby shortly thereafter, he landed.

"Hey baby!"

Bra ran up to him and kissed his cheek. He stepped back a little. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.

"I was getting worried. What happened?"

Goten didn't reciprocate the hug. He didn't seem like he was interested at all. "I got caught up with something."

"What was it?"

Bra looked up at him, but he wouldn't look down at her. She stood on her tippy toes and tried to kiss the bottom of his chin, but he moved his head out of the way.

He snorted, "Nothing. Look, I need to talk to you." He removed her hands from his waistline and took another step back.

Bra, frustrated, placed her hands on her hips. "What's the matter with you?"

"I don't know how to say this."

"Say what?"

Goten didn't respond. He was gathering his thoughts and preparing himself for what was about to happen.

"Say what Goten!"

Goten took a deep breath,"It's over."

"What do you mean it's over! What's over? Like our relationship?"

"Yeah," He shrugged.

"You're kidding me! Goten tell me you're joking right now!"

Goten shook his head, "No, I'm not. Valese and I decided to give our relationship another try."

"Valese?"

Bra couldn't believe what she was hearing.

She began shaking her head, "No, I'm not going anywhere. We just had sex the other week. You told me you loved me and now you're telling me you and Valese are giving it another try?"

Goten stood silent with his arms folded. Bra furiated, ran up to him and pushed him with all of her strength. She began landing punches on him, but her petite frame was no match for his well trained muscular body.

"Answer me!"

She continued punching him, not caring if he barely felt it or not. She began to break down in tears.

"Why are you doing this to me? I gave you everything! I trusted you! I loved you!"

He tightly grabbed her fists and held them to her side.

"Look," He said sternly, "we took this shit too far! I can't do this with you anymore." His eyes were different, cold.

He let go of her and tried to walk away.

Bra ran to him and threw her hands around his neck. "No! Please Goten don't do this! I'll do whatever it takes, please!"

Goten gently pushed her off, "Stop! Don't call me anymore. Don't text me anymore. I don't want to see you again!"

Bra fell to her knees as Goten turned and flew away from her.

Bra turned to the one person who could understand. Her heart was broken, but she was more confused than anything. Bra landed at the front door of the high rise building her family owned. Some people on the street gasped in awe as she seemingly came out of nowhere.

She ran past the bellman and security into the opened elevator.

"Miss!"

Security called out at her, but the elevator door was closing. She pressed the top button for the penthouse suite. The other occupants looked at her in bewilderment.

An older, grey-haired woman stared at Bra in disgust.

She and Bra made eye contact, which set Bra off.

"What the fuck are you looking at!"

The older woman turned around and faced forward. Bra got a glimpse of her reflection in the golden colored elevator doors. Her eyes were bloodshot red, her cheeks were tearstained with mascara, foundation and blush. She wiped her eyes and face, but it didn't help. The other occupants got off, with the older woman huffing at her as she proceeded out the doors with her ugly, hairless dog.

Bra really hoped Marron was there, she needed her. She had nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to.

The elevator doors opened and she walked to the penthouse suite. She knocked frantically, hoping someone was home.

After a minute or so, Marron opened the door.

"Oh my God, what happened to you? Are you okay?"

Bra walked in and sat on the sleek black couch.

"No, I'm not okay. Goten just broke up with me. For Valese of all people!"

Marron sat next to her as little Trunks sat on the floor playing with his toys.

"Well, what did he say? Did he explain why?"

"He said that it's over," Bra cried. "And that they're going to "try" again. Like what the fuck! Why is he doing this to me? I gave him everything! My virginity...everything!"

Marron picked up Trunks and brought him to his room. She grabbed a few tissues from the tissue box on the table and gave them to her.

"What are you going to do?"

Bra grabbed the tissues and wiped her eyes.

"I'm going to go to him and convince him that he's supposed to be with me, not her!"

Marron shook her head, "I don't think you should do that."

"Why not? He can't just leave me like that. He can't love me one day and break up with me the next!"

Marron got up from the sofa to pick up Trunks Jr.'s toys off the living room floor.

"You know Bra, maybe it's better this way. I mean you honestly didn't think your parents would accept that did you?"

Marron fumbled around with toys placing them in the large blue toy box in the corner one by one.

"So what! Who cares what they think. They don't even care about me anymore."

Marron didn't respond. she continued messing around with the toys, taking them in and out of the toy box.

Bra noticed this as well.

"Wait, you know something don't you."

Bra got up from the couch and walked towards Marron who was still fumbling around nervously with the toys.

"You knew didn't you? You knew he was going to break up with me!"

Marron stopped fumbling around, and looked away from Bra who was standing over her fuming.

"Trunks and I had lunch with Goten and Valese a week ago. I didn't know we were meeting them until I got there."

"Is that why you haven't answered any of my calls or bothered to call me back?"

Marron sighed as she raised herself from the floor, "Bra I was gonna tell you I swear it, but you know how upset you can get."

Bra was furious.

"What! Are you fucking kidding me? How upset I can get!"

Marron walked away from Bra and started cleaning the ransacked living room.

"Yeah Bra. When someone tells you something you don't like, you completely lose control just like now."

"Dont fucking gaslight me Marron! My best friend in the whole world, my sister, had lunch with my boyfriend and his side chick and she didn't even tell me about it! And for whatever reason, I'm not supposed to be upset?"

"I told you I didn't know I was meeting them. And I was going to tell you about it."

As the conversation grew more intense, Marron briskly walked across the living room to close the door to little Trunks's room.

"When Marron," Bra yelled from across the living room, "Before or after he broke up with me in some dirty fucking alley!"

"Stop screaming, my son is in the other room!"

"I don't care! Because you knew the whole fucking time, and said nothing! You were supposed to be my friend!"

"I am your friend!" Marron screamed back. "I told you not to date him! I told you to be careful didn't I? I told you not to have sex with him. I told you don't get your feelings involved, but did you listen? No! Do you ever listen? No! Don't get mad at me or anyone else. You brought this on yourself!"

Bra, feeling betrayed, wiped a stray tear from her eye as her best friend confronted her.

"I was there for you from the beginning. When you were bullied at school, your pregnancy, I went with you to all of your appointments, your coma, I've been there for you, and you couldn't tell me that he was going to do this to me."

"I didn't do anything! I was just as surprised. I've kept your secret all this time, I have issues too and I hate being in the middle of this. I hate lying to Trunks. Why couldn't you just listen to me from the beginning!"

"You're a fucking coward Marron. Just admit it!"

You know what your problem is Bra," Marron began as she walked towards her, "you're so fucking spoiled and out of touch you dont know the difference between fantasy and reality! You don't respect boundaries or have any regard for how your actions affect everyone else. All you care about is how you look and getting your way no matter what. It's always about you and how you feel; to hell with everybody else!"

The two girls stood toe to toe with one another. Bra dried her eyes and faced off with her best friend.

"The reason you had to meet in back alleys is because you know you could never be seen with him in public," Marron continued. "Who wants to live like that? It may be "fun" and "exciting" for you, but for people like me and Goten who actually grew up in the real world, it's not fun and it's not a game. We are real people with real feelings!"

Bra scoffed at Marron's boldness and took a step back.

"Who the fuck do you think you are bitch," pointing her finger in Marron's face. "You think you're fucking better than me now? You fucked my brother and got pregnant. If you hadn't, you wouldn't even be standing here."

Marron slapped Bra's hand, "Get your fucking finger out of my face!"

Bra dismissed the slap and continued her verbal assault on Marron.

"Out of touch? Do you even know where Trunks is right now? Do you honestly think he's working late every single night? He's probably out cheating on you and I wouldn't blame if he was. You weren't his first, second or third choice; you weren't even in his top ten. Out of all the girls he's fucked before and after you, remember you got lucky."

Bra had enough and walked away. She grabbed her bag off the sofa, but not before she snapped back at Marron.

You know you're a real weak ass bitch! You always have been and you always will be!"

Tears began to fill Marron's eyes, but she didn't back down.

"And you have alot of fucking nerve calling me spoiled you fucking hypocrite! Look around here bitch, you're living the good life and I don't hear you complaining about it. As much as you try to deny it, you're just like your mother, always chasing the money. At least you hit the jackpot and don't have to work some shit job and live on some shit island in the middle of nowhere with your pathetic ass husband!"

Marron's lips began to quiver and the tears fell down her face.

Bra was absolutely ruthless as she continued screaming and cussing at her at the top of her lungs.

"What the fuck are you even talking about I dont know the difference between fantasy and reality? You got your fantasy, didn't you! Don't take your anger with Trunks out on me. Oh, it didn't turn out the way you wanted it too? Too fucking bad! You wanted him, you got him! You told me about Goten, I told you about Trunks! You knew he was a cheating, lying piece of shit from the beginning. But you wanted the dick, so fucking deal with it!"

Bra walked over to Marron and knocked over the family portraits hanging on the wall.

She picked up a glass vase holding a bouquet of roses and threw it at the wall near little Trunks's room. The glass shattered into a bunch of pieces creating a huge mess over the floor.

Marron jumped back, and baby Trunks began crying in his room.

Bra chuckled, "You really thought you were something fucking special! You thought he would change who he was for you? Newsflash you stupid bitch, Trunks doesnt give a shit about you or anyone else."

Bra walked over to the front door partially opening it, "And, you think it was a game for me? Of all people you should know!"

"Get the fuck out!" Marron fired back as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "Get out of my house!"

"Fuck you Marron! You and my brother deserve each other. You're two of the most selfish cunts I have ever met! Don't even bother calling me again; Don't come by my house, you can go to hell. We're not friends anymore!"

Bra walked out of the door and slammed it shut behind her.

She had to see Goten and she had to understand why. None of it made sense.

She approached the back of the Son residence. She sensed Goten's ki and flew through his open window. The shower was running in his room, so Bra sat on the bed and waited for him to come out.

Goten walked out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his another wrapped around his head.

He walked into the room and saw Bra sitting with her legs crossed on his bed.

"What the fuck are you doing here!"

"Do you honestly think you were going to break up with me just like that?"

Bra rose from the bed and walked up to him. "You owe me an explanation, and I'm not leaving until I get one!"

"Keep your voice down, Gohan is in the other room."

"I don't give a shit," Bra screamed, stomping her foot on the floor.

Goten quickly grabbed Bra and put his hand over mouth. A minute later, a slight knock came to the door.

"Goten, is everything okay?"

"Yeah Gohan. Everything's fine."

"You sure, I thought I heard a woman's voice. Is that Valese? Hi Valese, I thought you already left for the night?"

"What," Bra mumbled.

She started punching Goten and struggling to get out of his grasp. He muffled her screams as best as he could.

"Stop," He whispered to her, holding her tighter. "Nah bro, it's the tv."

"Uhhhh...okay then."

Goten watched Gohan's shadow disappear under the door. He still held his hand over Bra's mouth.

"Be quiet," He told her as he let her go.

"Fuck you!"

Bra pushed Goten away from her and began going in on him again.

"Valese! That bitch was just here!"

She slapped him in his face and picked up a wooden lamp off his nightstand and flung it at him. He dodged it easily and it crashed behind him on the wall.

"I'm not leaving until you talk to me!"

"Goten," Gohan called from the other side of the door. He wiggled the door knob, but it wouldn't open. "What's going on in there?"

"Nothing!"

Goten grabbed an irate Bra by her arm and covered her mouth again. She continued to scream under Goten's hand, but Gohan couldn't hear her.

"Shut the fuck up," he whispered to her again.

"Goten, open the door."

"Gohan, I'm busy okay! Just mind your damn business!"

"Fine then! I'll come back if I have to."

Before Gohan could think of breaking down the door, Goten grabbed his boxers off the bed and flew out the window with Bra in tow. He had to get away from the house.

He flew to a field nearby. He let Bra go, and she fell helplessly on the ground. He hurriedly changed into his boxers. He turned to Bra who was still on the ground breathing heavily.

"What the fuck are you thinking coming by my house like that?"

Bra picked up a rock and threw it at him. "Fuck you! You're not leaving me!"

"Bra just stop it already. You're young and rich. You can get any man you want. Why are you so caught up over me?"

Bra stood up and dusted her hands off.

"What are you talking about? You told me you loved me! You told me you wanted to be with me and only me. Now you changed your mind!"

Goten sighed as he ran his hand through his freshly washed spiky hair.

"Yeah, that was a big mistake. Look, we can't do this anymore. We can't see each other like this anymore; we're done! What part of that dont you get?"

Bra rubbed her temples intensely. She could feel the rush of emotions flowing through her.

"No," She cried, reaching out for his hand. "Please! I'll do whatever you want me to do. I love you!"

Goten snatched his hand back, "No Bra, you don't love me. You thought you did; I thought I did too. The whole thing was a big fucking mistake and I wish I never got involved with you."

"You don't mean that! I'm sorry about how I've been acting. I went to the doctor today, and…"

"Look, I asked Valese to marry me."

"You what?"

"I asked Valese to marry me. That's why she was at my house tonight, and she said yes."

The half-saiyans stood there in silence as the late night air rustled their tresses. Bra covered her mouth as her tears washed over her face.

"What about me? What about everything you said?"

Bra clutched Goten's arms.

"What about the secret place and the diamond earrings and us getting married and having kids."

"Let me go!"

Bra held onto him tightly; eventually Goten pulled away.

"I'm sorry I said all of those things to you. I was caught up. I messed up. You can't come to my house anymore. It was fun, but I don't want to see you again."

Bra cried out for him. She tried to reach for him again, but he moved his body out of the way.

"Please Goten don't leave me. You promised you would never leave me."

Goten turned away from her. He paused for a moment, slightly looking back at her, "I'm sorry I hurt you."

He flew off into the distance.

Bra released all of her emotions once he was out of sight. She slowly began hyperventilating as the realization of her and Goten's relationship became clear. He didn't love her; he never did. How could he? If he truly did, he wouldn't have broken her heart or been marrying Valese.

She couldn't move and she could barely catch her breath. She had no one to call and no one to turn to.

What was she going to do?

Goten didn't care about her anymore. She couldn't keep his baby. Her parents would kill her.

'Marron was right,' she thought.

She clutched her stomach and raised her hand. A small ki blast formed. It would be quick. The pain would subside after a while. They could both go on with their lives as if nothing ever happened. Only Marron knew their secret, and she wouldn't tell.

She took a deep breath and looked up at the sky above her.

It was such a beautiful night.

She took another deep breath and held the ki blast closer to her belly. She closed her eyes and let chillness in the wind encompass her.
