Fifty- Home

When Pan opened her eyes, she saw the doors to the lookout... She had been there just a few times before when she was younger, and honestly it hadn't changed much since then.

In her arms, Atlas, who was still a puppy yelped and wiggled slightly. "We're home, baby..." she told him. "I really wish you hadn't changed," she frowned slightly as he tail wagged happily.

The first time it had happened, she had been a little more than startled. She had thought for sure that she had somehow done it to him and that there would be no possible way for her to get her son back to the way he was suppose to be. Nobu had brought her several books from Yami's private library and it was in one of those books that she had found all about animagus and she felt a bit better. Still, it didn't help that he had little to no control over his morphing and she had to be careful with turning him back into his human form as to not cause some sort of damage.

"Oh well," Pan sighed at her son. "They'll just have to see what a cute puppy you are before they can see how handsome you are!" She kisses his nose and scratched his head as he licked her cheek. "Let's see if they're here yet, shall we?" She grinned, stepping towards the doors.

Pan didn't think she would be nervous, but she was... She hadn't seen her family for three years! How long had they been back thanks to Dende? How much about Yami did they know? And Trunks... Her heart pounded at the thought of seeing him again.

Her excitement grew as she began to walk faster and as she got just a few feet from the door it swung open. She stopped suddenly, catching her breath as she saw all the familiar faces. Tears pooled from her eyes as her Mama, her Papa hugged her! Hugged her! With her free hand, she nestled herself between them and cried, and they were crying, too as they held her. They were all blabbering about how they had missed each other so much...

Atlas was happily barking in her other arm, his tail wagging. She assumed they didn't know he was actually her child... boy would they be surprised.

Her grandparents hugged her next. And her Grandpa even gave Atlas' head a good scratch... Now, he could know that he was actually her child and she wouldn't be surprised.

Goten, Marron, Bulla and Lapis all gave her a big group hug. Bulma hugged her tightly too. But Pan sniffed, glancing around for a familiar set of blue eyes and some lavender hair that couldn't be missed. Where was he?

"What the hell!" Came his familiar voice and Pan's heart hammered. "I can't believe you guys!" He yelled as he grew closer. "Why didn't anyone wake me up?!"

"Because it's the first decent sleep you've gotten since we found out that she was coming back," Bulla muttered lowly.

Pan squeezed between her friends and family as she ran to the door. Atlas was wiggling, surely sensing her excitement. She had just stepped through the threshold when she saw him. He was running down the hall quickly, his lavender hair a mess on his head and his blue eyes wide.

He slowed down when he saw her, and came to a stop just a foot away from her. Pan shook. Even though she had cried so much already, she was still crying.

He reached out towards her, and cupped her cheeks. His thumb wiped away all her tears as she sniffed loudly. He took a step closer to her and pressed his lips against hers.

The reaction was immediate. Pan was kissing him back, her free arm reaching up and grabbing his shirt. A warmth filled her from her toes to the tips of her hairs, and she couldn't help but sigh. She had missed this feeling so much...

Trunks leaned back and rested his forehead against hers. His blue eyes darted to Atlas, and his lips quivered. His hand reached out to pet him and a poof of smoke appeared, causing her and Trunks to part. When the smoke cleared, Atlas was a regular three-year-old again and... He was in Trunks' arms.

Trunks looked at him him a slightly shocked expression. He didn't need to ask to know... That was his kid! He had a kid! That was slight detail Dende had forgotten to tell him...

"Daddy!" Atlas beamed, wrapping his arms around Trunks' neck tightly.

"Hey..." Trunks greeted back rather carefully. His free arm wrapped around Atlas' back and he held him close. It felt so surreal... His kid...

"I... Showed him my memories of you," Pan told him softly. "I wanted him to know..."

Trunks let out a slight breath, his grip tightening slightly on his son... His son! He still couldn't get over that... "Hey, Little Guy..." he rubbed his back as the boy looked up and grinned. "Whats your name?" He asked.

"Atlas, I'm three," he smiled and held up the fingers to show Trunks.

"Wow..." Trunks whispered. His watery eyes met Pan's, who was still just as watery. "Wow..." he repeated and swallowed hard. "I'm so happy to meet you," he told his son.

"I'm happy to see you, Daddy," Atlas told him. "I missed you. Mommy missed you a lot," he said, hugging Trunks again.

Trunks reached out an arm and pulled Pan close as well. "Nothing is ever going to take you two away from me again," he promised.

He knew that in just a few minutes, they would have to go back outside to where their families were waiting patiently for them to return. They would need to be introduced to Atlas and he couldn't wait to proclaim to them proudly, "this is my son!" But they were giving him and Pan some privacy, which he appreciated. He held onto Pan and Atlas just a little bit tighter... He had no plans of letting go anytime soon.


It was dark before Trunks and Pan got to his old house. Pan had learned a lot of things in the last several hours... Everyone had been back for one week. But in the world, it had just been several months. Yami had arrived in December, and it was now April. The world however, thanks to Dende, didn't know any different about the disappearance of the others. Once they returned it was as if nothing happened.

A meow caught Pan's attention and she gasped happily as Luna jumped up so she could be petted. "I'm happy Dende took care of her," she said, giving the sweet cat some loves.

"Me too," Trunks grinned. In his arms was a sleeping Atlas.

The boy had been almost inseparable from Trunks since they had arrived. And everyone absolutely loved him! They were a bit shocked at first, but Pan explained that for her, it had been three years... But Atlas, thanks to her for showing him her memories, knew everyone.

Pan held Trunks' hand as they walked up the stairs to his room. She opened the door and carefully, Trunks laid Atlas down on his large bed as Pan glanced around the room. It was the same as she remembered it... Her belongings mixed in with Trunks... a dresser that had some of her makeup and jewelry on it... A mirror on the side of the wall that had a few of Trunks' ties dangling off the sides.

Trunks walked up behind her, and kissed her temple. "We're going to need to go shopping," he nipped her ear. "We need a toddler bed, and Atlas needs clothes and toys."

Pan cracked a grin, "why do I have a feeling that you're ready to give him everything he's going to ask for?"

"Oh, I plan to," his nose nuzzled the crook of her neck. "I'm going to spoil him, just like I do you... Panna..." he held her tight. "I'm so sorry..." he whispered. "You had to go through so much on your own..."

Pan turned in his arms and her hand reached up where she stroked his cheek. "But I wasn't alone..." her eyes wondered to Atlas. "He saved me... He gave me a reason to fight," she told Trunks. "I have you to thank for that."

Trunks gave her a small smile as he leaned down, his lips hungrily searching for hers. She returned it with fever, her arms wrapping around his neck and pulling him close. Her body melted against his and his hand found her waist and his tongue slipped inside of her mouth. Slowly, his hand slipped inside of her shirt and began to raise the fabric. That's when Pan took a step back from him.

Trunks knitted his eyebrows in confused and Pan grinned. Slowly, she turned around and started walking towards his bathroom. She opened the door before turning back around to Trunks and taking her shirt off before dropping it on the floor.

Trunks smirked, his hands finding his shirt and he shook it off as he followed her inside the bathroom. Him and Pan, has a lot of catching up to do...

A/N: Well guys... This is the end of this journey. If you've read this story before, I'm sure you've realized a few changes that have been made. The best thing about writing is how your skills continue to grow as long as you use them. I was going to add a bit more to the end of these last chapters but... I think it's best to let you all use your imaginations. However, do not fret. Pan, LP, and Chi... all lived happily ever after. :)

Thank you all so much for following and loving this story.
