*Chapter 27: Together Forever*

~~~THREE YEARS LATER~~~

Many things had happened in the three years of the Briefs' and Son's families lives. Goten and Bra had gone to NYU together and came back engaged, Pan and Trunks moved into their own little apartment and went to OSU and raised Goku Jr. together. Trunks had proposed to Pan a week after they graduated college. And today was the day they were getting married.

"Daddy, what's a ring bear? And why do I have to be one?" Goku Jr. asked, looking up at Trunks who was adjusting his bow tie nervously. Ever since Goku had learned how to talk, he had been calling Trunks daddy, Bulma grandma, Vegeta grandpa and Bra aunt Bra.

Trunks chuckled lightly and looked over at the boy who he viewed as his son, "That's 'ring bearer' Goku, and as a ring bearer, you get to be the one who gives your mother and I our wedding rings." Trunks bent over to his son's eyes level and started adjusting his little bowtie.

"Oh…" Goku Jr. grinned his grin that was passed down from Son to Son. "Daddy? After you and mommy are done getting married, can I spar with grandpa Goku and grandpa Vegeta?" Goku Jr. had definitely inherited his mother's side of family's fighting spirit and loved training as much as his great-grandfather Goku.

"Don't you want to eat at the reception after the wedding, there's going to be lots and lots of food and I know your grandpas are going to be there, so you'll have to spar with them later, okay?"

"Okay." Goku Jr. started drooling at the thought of food.

Trunks chuckled and finished readjusting Goku's bowtie. "Okay, young man, your mother wants to see you before everything starts. So you better head to her dressing room." Trunks ruffled Goku Jr.'s hair and opened the door for him.

"Okay daddy, I'll see you later," Goku said as he ran out the room and headed for his mother's dressing room.

Goku opened the door of his mother's dressing room; she was standing in the middle of the room while his Aunt Bra was adjusting his mother's veil. And his grandmothers were sitting on the couch taking about how kids grew up too fast and getting married and having kids of their own.

"Hi mommy, hi Auntie Bra, hi Grandma, hi Grandma Chichi, hi Grandma Bulma," Goku Jr. greeted everyone running into the room and hugging the women's legs before going back to his mother's side. "Mommy, you look beautiful." Goku smiled up at Pan grabbed a hold of his mother's wedding dress.

"Thank you, sweet heart. And you look very handsome; you're going to be the cutest ring bearer." Pan bent down and gave Goku a little pinch on the nose.

The door opened and Gohan stuck his head in. "It's about to start, you ready Panny?"

"She just about," Bra answered and did one last touch up, "There done."

"Grandpa!" Goku Jr. shouted happily and ran over to his grandfather hugging his leg, "Daddy said I got a special job as ring bearer. I get to give mommy and daddy their wedding rings, isn't that cool?"

Gohan chuckled and picked up his grandson, "That is a special job, and I know you'll do a great job at it too." Gohan ruffled Goku Jr.'s hair. Things had been so much happier for him and Videl in the last past three years, after asking for Pan's forgiveness, they had all healed from it and had gotten so much more closer and Goku Jr. brought so much joy into Gohan and Videl's lives, they couldn't imagine their lives without the hyper active three year old.

Trunks peeked out the back door, seeing that everything was almost in place. The wedding was being held in the famed and incredibly beautiful rose-gardens of West City Park. They had been cordoned off and Bulma had hired a security force to keep out reporters and other curiosity seekers, Trunks and Pan wanted the wedding to be private just friends and family.

There was a line of white fold-out chairs, occupied with varying degrees of comfort by the Z-Fighters and Jade, Mai and Jyden with their one year old daughter, Pan. In the front row sat, Bulma and Vegeta, Chichi who was waiting on Goku, Videl and Hercule. Next was Marron and Uub, who had come to the wedding together, but were trying to pretend otherwise.

A few seats down, sat Krillin, who was watching his daughter and her 'secret boyfriend' holding hands and chuckled in good-spirited glee, and Eighteen who lounged gracefully in a mid-length red dress, still as beautiful as the day Krillin met and fell in love with her. Behind them sat, Yamucya, Piccolo, Tien, Launch, Master Roshi, Oolong and Puar. In the middle of the left row, sat Jade and her family. They were so happy for Pan and wished nothing but the best for young bride, her groom and their son.

Trunks jumped a bit as Goku slapped him heartily on the back. "Time for you to get out there and make my granddaughter your wife," Goku said grinning. He was beyond happy that his granddaughter was getting married to a man who was worthy of her. Besides, Trunks had always been like a son to him, now he was gonna officially be apart of the family.

Trunks nodded nervously and took his place at the altar, at the left side of the aisle, the minister standing in the middle, and right side awaiting Pan. Trunks was so nervous, he dreamt about this day for three years and now it was finally happening, they day he was making Pan his wife.

A silence came over the crowd and the quartet that was situated beside the gazebo where the event was taking place, began to play. The crowd was filled with rustling murmurs and not a few faces grinned as Goten stepped out, playing the best man for his best friend. Grinning, he escorted the maid of honor and his fiancé, Bra, down the aisle.

As Goten and Bra separated, Bra departing to one side to await Pan, and Goten breaking off to join Trunks on the other side. "Don't be so nervous, Trunks," Goten poked playfully, "it's not like she's going to say no."

Trunks gave his best friend a warning glare but it did him no good. Goten, much like his father, was irrepressible.

A collective 'aww' resounded through the crowd as Goku Jr. appeared, holding the pillow that had his parents rings on it.

As the he walked nervously towards the altar, Goku with the rings, the husband-to-be's eyes were glued to the door as the bridal march began to play, Trunks gulped in anticipation.

Pan appeared in the doorway. Trunks smiled at the happy gleam he saw in his beautiful bride's dark eyes. She had dreamt of this day as much as her groom had, and she couldn't wait to spend the rest of her life with the most worthy man in the universe.

Her hand was resting lightly on Gohan's arm, Pan smiled up at her father as he escorted down the aisle. Coming to a rest beside Trunks, she smiled slightly at Chichi and Bulma's happy sniffles, and Videl's excited hooting in the background.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of these two young people, Trunks Vegeta Briefs, and Son Pan Diana." The ceremony seem to pass in a blur. It was just them, looking lovingly into each other's eyes, waiting for the minister to say those words.

"Trunks Vegeta Briefs? Do you take Son Pan Diana, to be your lawful wedded wife? To have and hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, from this day forth until death do you part?" the minister asked.

"I do." All his dreams were becoming a reality, and he wanted to save this moment, the moment Pan became his wife.

"Son Pan Diana? Do you take Trunks Vegeta Briefs to by your lawful wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, from this day forth until death do you part?" the minster asked Pan.

With her eyes shining with unshed tears, Pan said, "I do." This was just beginning of the rest of their lives, everything was going to be okay from here on out, being in the arms of the man of her dreams, life couldn't be more sweeter.

Goku Jr. smiled up at his parents and held up the pillow, making sure his special mission was done successfully.

The rings were exchanged and the minister smiled. "Then by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You man kiss your bride, young man." The minster told Trunks with a grin.

Trunks, figuring they going to have to show a public display of affection, decided to go all the way, sweeping Pan into his arms, he drew his bride into deep passionate kiss that left the crowd hooting and Goku Jr. gaging.

After their moment, Trunks set Pan back down and everyone stood up and clapped for the happy couple. Trunks picked up Goku Jr. and held him in one arm as he wrapped his other arm around Pan's waist as they made their way down the aisle to the limo that was waiting to take them back to Capsule Corp where the reception was taking place.

Everyone made their way to the ballroom where the party was set up and began chatting and having a good time. All the older Z-fighters came up to Trunks and Pan and congratulated them and wished them many years of happiness together. Bulma was madly snapping pictures of everyone. Master Roshi commented that Pan's dress looked nice but he wasn't even looking at the whole dress. Trunks growled lowly and smacked Roshi across the room, which made the Z-fighters laugh and Yamucya, told Roshi he never should have hit on a married woman, especially if said married woman is married to a saiyan.

The wedding cake was served out and more wedding traditions came into play. The bride and groom were supposed to feed each other a piece of cake. So that's exactly what they did. Pan gave Trunks a small piece just so he wouldn't get it all over his face. Once they all were done eating, the tables were cleared away and people began dancing in the center.

"You're so beautiful," Trunks whispered in Pan's ear, they were dancing the traditional first dance.

"And you're too handsome for your own good," Pan said playfully, earning herself a nibble on the ear.

"So, how does it feel to be Mrs. Trunks Briefs?" Goten asked when he was dancing with Pan.

"Incredible and I couldn't have asked for a better man," Pan said smiling.

"I told you, you'd be a part of the Briefs family someday." Goten said grinning and twirled Pan around.

"Your turns coming next, I can't wait till you and Bra get married."

"So do I," Goten said smiling before Gohan came and stole Pan away.

"I'm so happy I can burst." Pan smiled up at her father and he chuckled at the sparkle in her eyes. To think he could have missed out on all this, he was grateful he wasn't though. And he never wanted to miss a single thing again.

"I'm so happy for you, Panny," he whispered. "You two are a match made in heaven."

"Thank you, daddy. Are you ready for more grandchildren?"

Gohan looked down at her and smiled, "Yeah, I think I'd like you to give a granddaughter this time, someone to spoil like crazy." Pan laughed as she and her father continued their dance.

The party began to die down and people were getting ready to leave. But, there were still two more wedding traditions, the bride had to toss the bouquet and the groom had to toss the garter. The first part was a snitch. Pan tossed her bouquet, and Marron caught it. Then the garter part was a little more difficult. You see, the garter is worn by the bride, around her leg. But the groom has to take it off…with his teeth. Pan could hear all the guys hollering with laughter.

"Bulma, do I have to do this?" Pan asked in a whiney voice. Bulma laughed.

"Actually, sweetheart, you're not doing anything," Bulma explained, trying to keep herself from laughing. "Trunks is the one that has to do all the work. Now hike up that dress, young lady!"

Pan groaned in defeat. She lifted the bottom of her dress up her left leg just above where the garter was. She could almost hear Roshi going insane.

"Common Trunks!" Goku said from the side, laughing. Trunks sighed and kneeled down, clutching the garter between his teeth. Pan slapped a hand over her face in embarrassment. He tugged it for a few seconds until it came off. The single men cheered as Trunks tossed it into the crowed. After much competition, Uub was actually the one to catch it.

With the party officially over, Trunks grabbed Pan's hand and they headed out side out where they were to be showered by rice before taking a limo to their honeymoon suite.

"Bye, mommy! Bye-bye, daddy!" Goku Jr. called out to them from Gohan's arms. Goku was going to be spending two weeks with his grandparents while Trunks and Pan were on their honeymoon.

They finally made it to one of the finest Hotel's in Japan where Trunks had booked them reservations the week before. They made it to the room and Trunks opened the door, then he swept Pan in his arms again, "I have carry my bride over the thresh hold." Pan giggled and planted a soft kiss to his cheek.

Trunks placed Pan on the bed and sat beside her. She smiled at as grabbed a hold of his hand and stood them both up. "Common, let's jump on the bed," Pan said giving her husband a mischievous smile.

Trunks chuckled, loving her childlike spirit. He would do anything for this girl who was his wife. Sharing her smile, he grabbed her other hand and they started jumping on the bed laughing. As they soared through the air, trying not to hit the ceiling, there was no one else in the world but them. Feathers from the pillows started flying out as Pan collapsed on bed and Trunks right behind her. They looked into each other's eyes full of love for one another. "I love you, Pan," Trunks whispered as he took Pan's veil out of hair and dug his fingers through her ebony locks as he started gently kissing her, and letting his other hand roam Pan's body. No more second guessing, no more feeling guilty, she was his and he was hers. Nothing was ever going to tear them apart again.

~~~ANOTHER THREE YEARS~~~

"You're doing well, Pan. Keep pushing," Videl told her daughter, after three year years of marriage, Trunks and Pan were having another child. While Videl was delivering her next grandchild, Trunks was holding Pan's hand whispering comforting words in her ear and telling how strong she was.

"I can see the head," Videl said smiling, "You're almost there, sweetheart." Videl kept coaxing Pan and with one last push, a new member of the Briefs family was screaming their lungs out.

"Congratulation you two," Videl told them holding up the baby, "It a beautiful baby girl."

"A girl, we have a little girl," Trunks said as his eyes flooded with happy tears. Videl cleaned the baby and then handed her over to Trunks. She was indeed a beautiful baby; already taking after her mother the only difference was her silky lavender hair and her cerulean blue eyes that were the exact color of her father's.

"She absolutely perfect, Trunks," Pan said as she held her daughter for the first time, her lavender tail entangling around her mother's fingers.

"I think someone should come and meet his little sister," Trunks said and went go get Goku Jr. in the waiting room.

Trunks made his way down the hall and into the waiting room where his and Pan's family were waiting. When they saw Trunks, they all stood up. "How Pan?" Gohan asked.

Trunks smiled, "Pan's fine, we have a little girl." Everyone except Vegeta cheered and screamed.

"Can we see them?" Chichi asked.

"I'd like for someone to meet his little sister first, before everyone comes rushing in," Trunks said and motion for Goku Jr. to come with him.

Trunks and Goku Jr. made it back to Pan's room and Goku ran up to his mother's bedside and climbed up. "What do you think of your new baby sister, Goku?" Pan asked.

Goku Jr. looked at the baby in his mother arms as she looked at her new big brother with big curious eyes. Goku smiled at and said, "She's pretty, mama."

"What should we name, her?" Trunks asked as sat on the other side of the bed.

"How about, Kirei, because she's pretty, just like mama," Goku Jr. suggested and it was agreed she was to be named Kirei Briefs. Because she was the beauty that completed their lives.
