Author's Note: This is the first story I have finished. I'll probably work on my other 2 stories more now but will probably start writing another DBZ story within the next week to two weeks. So look out for that. Thank you to everyone who has supported this story. I hope you have all enjoyed it and now I give you all the final chapter of this story! ^_^
The dawn broke over the horizon. The light moving up the ocean to the shore and onto the couple cuddle on the beach. Goku awoke to greet the morning light and smiled as he looked upon the angel cradled next to him.
"Wake up sweetheart" Goku whispered with a kiss.
"Morning baby." Pan whispered as she slowly awoke.
Goku reached down and kissed his lover softly, "Last night was the best night of my life, Pan. I mean that with all my being."
Pan blushed, "It was the best night of OUR lives baby."
She cuddled close to him, holding his arm like a child wanting a hug. They lay there for an hour watching the sun rise, feeling the waves wash over their feet.
Goku looked at Pan and smiled, "We should go home. People will be coming out to the beach soon."
She smiled as he used instant transmission to transport them back home in her bedroom. They lay there on her bed cradling each other.
"Marry me, Pan?" Goku asked.
"Is that possible? Can we really get married?" Pan asked hoping he would say yes.
He grinned, "I'm sure I can work something out with The Kais."
She giggled, "You have a lot of connections huh?"
He grinned again, "Well I have helped them a lot so they kind of owe me."
Pan's expression then turned serious as she answered truthfully, "Yes Goku, I will marry you."
But before Goku had a chance to get excited and kiss his lover, Goten appeared at the doorway.
"Well where have you two been? Don't answer that. I have all the proof I need now. It's time I show everyone the sick affair that's been going on between you two! Once they find out you two were together all night last night then they will surely come to the conclusion that you two are a couple." Goten threatened.
"Goten! But I thought you lost your memories of all of this!" Goku asked in shock.
Goten grunted, "I guess I have a thicker head than you do father." Goten said reffering to when his dad hit his head as a baby.
Before Goku could do anything Goten was gone, heading down stairs to get the rest of their family.
"I have to stop him!" Goku said as he jumped up and dashed to the door.
Before he could reach the door though he stopped. Suddenly his body went cold. He stared at his palm, it had become sweaty and numb. Then the pain set in. He clenched his chest, where his heart would be located.
"Baby?" A worried Pan asked.
As she approached Goku who was now gasping for breath, the true horror began to set in. He screamed and blood shot out of his ears, nose, eyes, and mouth.
"BABY!" Pan shouted in horror.
She rushed to him as he fell back, she caught him in her arms. He was shivering and grasping to Pan for warmth. His body had grown cold and numb and blood continue to pour out of him. Her focus was on his blood covered face and the hand clenching the left side of his chest. How could she help him? What was wrong with him? Were the question that kept popping into her head. She snapped out of her focus as she heard the reaction of her grandmother, mother, and father at the site before them.
"HONEY!" Chi-Chi screamed in horror.
Gohan looked at his dad and noticed he was clenching the spot where his heart was. It was then that it hit him what was wrong.
"The…the heart virus! It's back!" He shouted in surprise.
"What! But Future Trunks' medicine cured it didn't it?" Chi-Chi asked
Gohan looked at her, "I don't know why but that has to be it! It's back but this time it seems a lot worse!" Gohan sadly told his mother.
"When need to get him to Bulma. She made copies of that medicine. She may be our only hope of saving him." Gohan said.
Pan was surprised no mentioned her or Goku's affair, Goten must have not told them yet. This wasn't the time to really worry about that though. Right now Goku's life was on the line.
Gohan reached out to his dad and said, "Father try to use instant transmission one more time to get us to Bulma's house."
Goku had to focus but he was finally able to transport himself and his family to Bulma's house. They appeared right in front of her in her lab. Immediately she realized what was wrong and grabbed Goku and started to inject him with medicine, trying to save his life.
An hour or two later she stepped out of the lab and softly informed them of the bad news, "What I'm about to say isn't easy to hear. The heart virus is back but it's mutated and it seems to be attacking his blood now as well as his heart. It seems that even though the medicine worked last time it only made the virus dormant. Over time the virus slowly mutated and now it's taking effect."
"You'll be able to cure him though right Bulma?" Pan asked trying to hold tears back.
Bulma hugged Pan and then hugged Chi-Chi seeing they were the two most visibly upset but she knew everyone was fearing the worse, "I'll try as hard as I can." She told them truthfully and then retired to her lab to continue her work to try and save their dearest loved one.
As the night went on no one said anything and no one slept at all. At 3:00 in the morning Bulma came out of her lab and looked down in sadness. No words needed to be spoken. It was clear what had happened.
"No…My…MY GOKU!" Chi-Chi screamed as she broke down crying.
Videl and Gohan cried with Chi-Chi. Goten turned away from them and began crying.
Pan stood there silent and for a few minutes did nothing. Then reality hit her. Her lover, her baby, her Goku, was gone forever. Since his death was caused by a virus it counted as a natural death so now not even the dragon balls could bring him back. She had lost him and the life she wanted to have with him would never happen. It finally happened, she broke down.
"!" Pan shouted as she ran pass
Bulma and busted into the lab. She ran to Goku's now stiff and lifeless and cold body. She held him and cried. She cried all night never leaving Goku's side.
Everything had changed. From that night onwards the Son family and their friends were never the same. They had lost their light and Pan had lost the only person who truly understood her, who truly could love her for the saiyan in her.
Years passed, Pan never married. Instead it was left to her baby brother who was born 2 years after Goku's death and Goten's children to continue the Son Family line.
Goten never told anyone about the affair between Goku and Pan. It didn't matter now and the last thing the family needed was more heart ache. So Pan was left in peace to grieve as Goku's lover and Chi-Chi was left to grieve as his wife never knowing the truth. It seemed to be best that way.
Eventually Pan would pass away of old age. Standing there at the Check in Station was her lover, Goku. Finally she was reunited with him. Goku had other plans however.
"I made a promise to marry you and start a life with you Pan. I want to keep that promise." Goku told her.
"But how baby? We're dead." She told him
Goku kissed her softly, "Like I told you all those years ago, a lot of important people owe me one and this is my chance to take them up on their offer."
Goku did the unthinkable, he asked King Yemma to reincarnate Pan and himself into new lives. This time not as family members. They were born into families that were close friends. These families happened to be some of Vegeta and Goku's descendants. As such Goku and Pan were born into their new lives with some saiyan blood in them.
The important part, they were born with all the memories of their past lives When they grew up, they were able to marry as a normal couple, no longer were they related so they were not under the stigma of incest.
Their dreams came true when they said to each other on the altar at last, "I do."
THE END
