Chapter 6

It had taken Sam a while, but eventually she had convinced Jack and Maddie to allow her to create a plan for remodeling her "new room," as the two liked to call it. While she wasn't thrilled about staying housebound for the next month or so, Sam was glad that it wouldn't be white anymore and that she could take control of the changes. She had managed to convince Jack to install (well, to help Maddie install) a birthing tub and a real bed, but the medical equipment was to stay and all of the Fenton family vetoed Sam's idea of painting the walls black. She had also managed to convince her professors to allow her to switch to online classes; Sam wasn't sure what made them so easy to convince, but she had a feeling Danny might have had something to do with it. She didn't complain though; the fact that she was now free to do whatever classes she wanted whenever she wanted, she felt much freer and happier.

Danny had gone back to the scene of the accident to try and figure out who had rammed into them, but had only seen the police cars and tow trucks taking both cars away. A day later, there was a report on the news that announced that there had been a "mysterious accident" in which nobody seemed to have been involved. Sam was glad that Danny hadn't been spotted flying away with her, but the event was quickly pushed from her mind by planning for baby and all of the things Maddie was having her do.

After Sam had accepted her fate, she had settled for interrogating Danny's mother about her midwife classes and how legitimate they were. Everything Maddie told her checked out, however, and she quickly lost fuel for her attempts to try and go back to the midwives she had originally planned on having their baby with. This would be Maddie's first birth, and although she was a skilled ghost hunter and much more competent than Jack, Sam was still worried. She had been spending countless hours pouring over details with Maddie, who had admitted that the only reason she had gotten her certification was to help Sam with her delivery. While she thought it was a very kind gesture, it still made Sam nervous and made her even more adamant about having Lily, the original midwife, available in case of a real emergency. Danny was doing his best to help her relax, too; he would come home from his classes every day and immediately go and see Sam and spend the rest of the evenings with her, helping plan her labor and birth and rubbing her back and feet when she complained about the pain.

"I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore," Sam said one day as Danny rubbed her neck.

"But you're so sexy right now." Danny's voice was rather husky and Sam blushed. They had barely been able to spend any time alone together lately, let alone be intimate in any way. Sam had been worrying that he wasn't attracted to her anymore and hadn't tried to push herself on Danny, even though she had been craving his touch more than ever.

"Really?" Sam's voice sounded soft, even to her own ears. "I thought you didn't want me anymore, now that I'm getting huge."

"That's even sexier." Danny kissed the back of her neck and pushed his hands up the back of her shirt. Sam felt every muscle that he touched relax and she melted into him. He moved his hands forward and rubbed her belly, occasionally kissing her neck and nibbling at the skin. Sam moaned slightly and turned towards him, eager to deepen the kisses and to feel his hands all over her.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?"

Danny's anxious face was hovering above hers, his blue eyes shining and his messy black hair almost brushing the sensitive skin on her forehead. This was the first time they'd had alone time in their new apartment, and also the first time… being together. While neither of them wanted to wait until marriage, they did want to wait until they were living together. Before they had begun to unpack, Danny had gotten on one knee, but presented Sam with a silver band instead of a diamond ring and told her that it was to symbolize a promise that they would someday in the future marry. Sam had gladly accepted, happy that there was no pressure or a time frame attached.

They had only half unpacked the last box before they couldn't keep their hands off each other any longer.

"Of course. I'll tell you if you go too far." Sam brought her head up to give him another kiss, which quickly deepened and turned into frantic tearing off of each others' clothes…

Now Danny was on top of her again, but this time there was no wonder in those bright blue eyes, just love and adoration. He leaned down carefully and kissed Sam's mouth, her neck, her breasts, and ended at her belly. Sam felt the baby kick, and Danny laughed.

"He kicked me in the face," was the answer to Sam's unspoken question as he came back up for another deep kiss. Sam wrapped her bare legs around him and felt him move inside of her.

It was the best sex they had ever had. Once they were both finished, Sam cuddled up to Danny's chest (at least, as best she could) and closed her eyes, allowing sleep to claim her.

…

The couple were woken up by the telltale blue-white wisp escaping Danny's lips. Sam snuggled up closer to him, not wanting him to go.

"Stay…" she said into his warm skin, knowing what his answer would be.

"I can't," Sam could hear the smile in Danny's voice. "But you know I'll be back."

"Go quickly, then. I'll see you soon. I love you."

"I love you, too."

With that, Sam watched Danny phase and disappear, hoping, like always, that he would come home safe to her.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed the latest chapter… it's a bit longer than I anticipated and I didn't feel like being explicit so it's a short love scene. I've already got an idea for the next chapter, so I'll begin that one tonight as well! I also think that there will be a chapter or few from Danny's perspective, so keep watch for the next chapter(s) tomorrow or Monday! Also: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE AMAZING MOMS OUT THERE! Lots of love from me.

The Talent: Thank you for the review! I'm quite excited for Sam to have the baby… I'm already planning it out!

James: Thank you for the review as well!

ShadowDragon357: Also thank you for the review! I actually have a bit of a plan for the accident, but we'll see if my idea changes or if I go with what I'm thinking right now… it's funny that you mentioned all those little things in your last review as well; I had already written most of the beginning of this chapter talking about those when I got the email saying you'd written! I hope I did an okay job of going into those details.
