Chapter 10: Growing up fast
Tucker's shock
Danny and Sam have been in their new home for nearly four weeks and at this point Sam was seven weeks pregnant. Up till now Tucker had been out of state for a tech school scholarship exchange program, and Danny and Sam didn't want to bother him with their problems.
"Tucker comes back tomorrow." Danny told Sam as he started up the stove.
"Wow he is in for a surprise." Sam responded as she started playing their favorite playlist from her phone.
Almost immediately after that unfaithful day Danny and Sam left their patents houses their phones were suspended and could no longer text and call, however all other functions still worked.
"That's an understatement, we should try to get ahold of him when he comes back and explain." Danny told Sam dropping some eggs and potatoes into their only pan.
"I can tell him at school." Sam added.
"Yeah, and maybe he can help you with some of your classes before finals." Danny threw the idea at Sam hoping she would take his advice.
Up until this point Danny would stay up and help Sam study and with her homework, but he is no tucker and Sam is the most important thing.
"That would be awesome! I could get a 3.7 GPA for this semester if I pass all my finals." Sam told Danny appreciating the fact he thought so much about her.
"Yeah and I'm sure you could get a scholarship next year." Danny added their dinner off of the stove and placing it on two separate paper plates.
"I don't think there's any college in my future especially a scholarship." Sam said adding some salt and pepper to her dinner.
"Sam, you can do anything you want. If you want to be a doctor or a lawyer or even if you want to flip burgers at the nasty burger, I don't care. I will support you no matter what. And you are smart enough to do anything. You have two be the brains in our family because it certainly isn't me!" Danny passionately preached to Sam.
"You really think I could be a doctor?" Dam asked Danny ignoring him calling them a family but not letting it slip her mind.
"You would be great at it! You care about people and you're so sweet. Any sick person would be lucky to have you help them." Danny praised Sam.
The next day was Friday and Tucker wouldn't be at school until Monday, however as usual things didn't go as planned.
"Excuse me sir. Where are your phone chargers at?" Tucker asked the sales associate stacking cans on a shelf.
"They are on isle twelve on the right side." Danny answered not recognizing the familiar voice.
"Danny?" Tucker asked in utter confusion. "You got a job?"
"Yeah I did." Danny answered realizing what this meant.
"Why aren't you in school?" Tucker asked the reasonable question.
"It's a long story. Come to this address tonight for dinner at seven and we will explain everything." Danny told Tucker handing him a piece of paper with an address, and getting back to work.
"Ok dude whatever you say!" Tucker told Danny heading over to isle twelve.
Later that night Danny brought home some fried chicken and Mack and cheese from work for the three of them. Since they didn't have a dining table or any eating surface the decided to eat on the couch, which they have been doing but it seemed inappropriate for a guest, even tucker. After three long hours of talking, explaining, and even a little crying Tucker had to head home leaving Danny and Sam with their thoughts. Mostly that they needed furniture. After cleaning up the dinner mess Danny and Sam went to bed holding each other like always except tonight they felt different. Instead of disappointment and regret in the back of their minds it was a feeling that maybe this was the best thing that could have happened to them. And that made them feel happier than ever, proving you don't need a lot to have a lot.
