Explain It To My Heart.

Part 5

After Bra and Goten announced that they would be parents soon, Gohan
stopped visiting his brother. He even stopped working at Capsule Corp. He
took a leave of abscence claiming that he was exhausted mentally. The truth of
the matter was that he couldn't stand hearing about Bra and Goten becoming
parents. He knew that the child had to be his-- it just had to be. Bra and
Goten had been together for over a year, but Gohan makes love to her one night
and Boom! she's pregnant. He had to talk to her-- alone. He had to know if
that child was his or not.
As he leaving the house, he found Pan sulking on the stoop. "Pan-chan, what's
wrong?"
"It's Tomarotto. He's been very distant for some time now. I don't know what
happened to us, Tousan," she said as tears swelled up in her eyes. Gohan knew
it was because Tomarotto was keeping a secret from Pan-- one that would destroy
a father-daughter relationship. Tomarotto knew that Pan's world would come
crashing down around her if she knew her father and her uncle's wife shared a
night of passion.
"Pan-chan, I don't know what to tell you," Gohan frowned down at his
daughter. He felt like such a heel because he was the reason she was in pain.
"I will go talk to him."
"You will?" She dried her eyes.
"Yes, I will. Is he home right now?"
"He should be."
"Okay, don't worry about a thing," he said as he kissed her forehead.
"Thank you," she hugged him tightly.
"I would do anything for you, my Panny," he said before taking off into the
air. 'I've got to do something. I can't stand to see her like that.' He flew
over to where Tomarotto lived, just outside Capsule Corp. Gohan walked up to
the porch, but heard a noise just before he knocked on the door.
"I'm not in there," a voice said. Gohan turned around to find Tomarotto
floating above him.
"We have to talk. You're breaking Pan's heart."
"I'm breaking Pan's heart?! You're the reason I can't be around her!"
"Listen, I know you saw me leaving Bra's window that night . . ."
"Not to mention I could sense it."
"I hid my Ki. How could you sense it?"
"When two bonded Saiyans mate, any one with Saiyan blood can sense it."
"What?! What are you talking about!?"
"You and Bra are bonded, Gohan-sama. You're lifemates."
"How do you know that?"
"Because, I am a full-blooded Saiyan. I know these things. You and Bra have
Human blood; you really can't sense these things. I bet Prince Vegeta could
sense it, too."
"Oh, Dende! That's all I need-- Vegeta knowing I had sex with his daughter."
"He knows that you and Bra are bonded."
"WHAT!?"
"He told me that he knew she was bonded to you, not Goten. He also suspects
that you are the father of the unborn child."
"You didn't tell him?"
"No, I didn't. It's taken everything I have to keep from telling him-- and
Pan."
"I know. You feel as though you're lieing to her, but you're not."
"I'm keeping something from her."
"I am too, but there's no way I'm going to tell her that I had an affair with
Bra. Her mother leaving her almost destroyed her. What do you think telling
her that her father slept with someone who's much younger than he is and who's
married to his brother?!"
"But, . . ."
"Please Tomarotto, don't tell her. I can't destroy her like that."
"But, why? Why did you do it?"
"Videl decimated my heart, but Bra revived it. I love her. I know I can
never have her, but I shared one intimate moment with her and maybe we created
a child together-- that's good enough for me."
"Gohan-sama, I . . ."
"Think about it Tomarotto. If you decide to tell Pan, at least let me know.
That way I can be prepared for it."
"Hai." Gohan flew off toward Goten's and Bra's house hoping that Goten
wouldn't be home so that he could talk to Bra.
