Chapter 7: Growing Up Fast
Too Soon
I appreciate all reviews and have gotten a lot of things to correct which is great. This is my first story ever and I'm not much of a writer as many could tell. I will continue to try and improve any errors and make these chapters as enjoyable as possible.
Danny POV-
After Sam's doctor appointment I went into work instead of going to school. Up until now I have been limited to part time, but with a baby on the way full time was mandatory. Reading online I learned that because of my age I'm allowed to drop out of school. Of course getting my G.E.D is a priority after that but it also frees up time to work during the day as well as at night like I have been doing. My parents would never go for this idea however that may not matter because the school called Sam's parents as well as mine and told them about the days of school we've missed. And based on the scowl on my father's face and the fact that my mom never could sit on the couch for long periods of time I had to come clean, but I wanted Sam with me when I told them.
"Danny! We need to talk!" Danny's dad growled at him when he walked through the door.
"Sam you better go home." Danny's mom added.
"I know what we are going to talk about, and Sam and I have some news." Danny Said peaking his parents interest.
Danny could tell by Sam's tense movements and the way she was squeezing his hand she was terrified. And for good reason, because after telling Danny's parents they had to go explain the same thing to the Mansons.
"Mom, Dad… Sam is pregnant." Danny barely squeaked out.
"Oh my." Danny's mom almost whispered.
The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife, and Danny's parents were silent. It wasn't an upset silent or an angry silent, it was an utter shock and awe silent like they had nothing to say. Nothing in their wildest imaginations could have prepared them for that news. After a long silence Danny finally asked the question that he was so sure he knew the answer to.
"Can Sam stay here with us? I want to stay with her to take care of her and the baby, also I don't think her parents will be very supportive." Danny asked gaining confidence is his parents.
"Absolutely not!" Danny's dad responded without a second of hesitation with his wife agreeing with a head nod.
"Your our son and we love you but we will not have an abomination living is this household, and if you are dead set on staying with her then you are not welcome here either!" Danny's mom added with a bitter haste in her voice and a jerking hand gesture to the door.
"Fine! If you're going to be that way then you have no son, and no grandchild!"Danny yelled with warm tears running down his cheeks.
Danny hasn't cried since he was little, but this was the worst pain he could have ever imagined. His parents have always been supportive of his decisions and loved Sam. Right after being ripped from his life, both Danny and Sam went upstairs to grab Danny's things. All he grabbed was as many cloths as he could fit in his small backpack and his phone charger. Then they were off without as much as a single goodbye or hug to Maddie or Jack but there as a mutual sadness in the room almost as they were saying don't go but it was too late. Their words were like one hundred tons of lead crushing Danny.
"I'm so sorry." Sam tried to comfort Danny hugging him.
"I'm glad I never told them about my ghost powers!" Danny tried to joke but al it did was bring his own spirits lower.
"Where are we going to go Danny?" Sam questioned knowing that if Danny's parents acted so cold that hers would only be worse.
"I don't know, I got full time at work so that helps." Danny told Sam knowing that if anyone would understand it would be her.
"You don't have to do that. You don't have to give up your life and education for me." Sam told Danny trying to talk him out of his decision.
"Right now we have no choice Sammie. We can get a hotel for a few nights until we figure things out." Danny almost arguing with Sam.
"Ok." Was all Sam could muster up in response knowing the graduation of the situation.
Once Sam and Danny got to her doorstep the look on their faces was a cross between terror and pain. The terror of not knowing and the pain of the loss of loved ones, not in death but emotional detachment. And the soul crushing reality that the two people who are supposed to always be there for you weren't in your most venerable time ever.
