Keeping A Little Secret

A/N: Hey everyone! So I finally got to updating this, high school is a real pain! Thankfully Easter break is here, so I'll be updating my stories. Yay! So without further ado, here's comes a new chapter! Fair warning, it is looooong!

Chapter 11: Time Warps and New Secrets? Will the agony ever end?

The silence between Sam and Danny was unsettling. Danny was trying to figure out a way to break his new knowledge to her, while Sam herself was trying to figure out her relationship with Danny. Were they a couple now? He did do the deed with me twice…so what does that make us? She wondered.

A sudden cough from Danny made her look at him.

"Danny, are you ok?" She asked. He snapped his head up at her.

"What?" He deadpanned. Sam frowned.

"Well, you've been awfully quiet…I was just wondering if everything was alright." She said. Danny exhaled.

"Oh…" He said softly, "well, actually there was something I wanted to talk to you about." He said grimacing.

"What is it?" Sam asked walking over to him. He seemed to tense a bit at the close contact but he held himself steady.

"Well…while at the hospital your doctor decided to shed some new light about your birth." He said watching as Sam's face went from worried to shock.

"What was it?" She asked. Danny sighed and looked away. Without looking at Sam he told her everything the doctor had said.

"I'm going to die?" Sam asked. Danny shook his head. He wouldn't let her die, that he knew for sure. He would give up all his blood and his life for her own.

"No...Not unless I give you my blood, but then there's also a risk of you getting ghost powers, and since we are having twins...I'm not exactly sure on how much blood you are going to need." He said. Sam looked down at her hands. Danny knew that would be a major set-back.

"Well...do you think we could also use Danielle's blood?" She asked. Danny shrugged. Could they? Danielle did have his genes, and she was half ghost…so she had a mixture of both bloods.

"I'm not sure...she was made with my blood and she is a halfa, but she was cloned...I'm not sure it will work." Danny said. Sam sighed and flopped down on her bed.

"Great." She said. Danny got up with a sigh.

"You will live Sam." He said as he left.

"I hope so..."she said, as she stared after him.

Twelve weeks total had passed and Sam was now entering the second trimester of her pregnancy. She was starting to show and each day, she seemed to show it even more. Sam was never one to listen to rumors, but she had to admit that sometimes it was quite bothersome and sometimes hurtful.

But she knew that she would have to live through it, she made her bed and now she had to lie in it. She mentally shrugged off the snide remarks from girls and the crude actions from boys.

Though on one peculiar day, she was completely miserable. She didn't know what had made her so depressed, it could have been hormones or anything really. She remembered going to the counselor's to talk about her problems.

The lady was sweet and kind, she listened to Sam and tried to comfort her.

"Well I'm not sure what to say Ms. Manson, I can only hope that you don't take this to heart. Most teens that are about to be mothers end up getting rid of the baby, I don't want the same to happen to you." She said. Sam pursed her lips and nodded.

"I-I can't. I mean I love my child...but I can't help wishing I could sometimes take it back." She explained.

"Sam, I know this is hard for you now, but trust me, when your baby is born you'll forget all of this and in the end, you'll know that it was worth it." She said with a soft smile. Sam nodded and stood up.

Walking out, she found herself thinking...what've she wasn't pregnant? Would she and Danny still be living their own lives? Would any of this change?

As she walked to her locker, she could see something attached to it. She looked around before hesitantly making her way over there. As she approached it, her heart stopped beating and her breathing hitched.

There on the locker, as some cruel joke, was a hanger. Attached to the hanger was note. Sam reached out with a shaky hand and took the note off the hanger.

She opened the note and felt tears leak out of her eyes, they had crossed the line this time. On the note, written in bright red was: "Thought this might come handy. -Danny F."

She tightened her fist hand holding the note so that it was being crumpled. She felt a mixture of hurt, anger, and betrayal. Did Danny put this? Was this her Danny? She tried to shake off the thought, Danny would never do this. He wants the baby, she knows he does.

But as she stared at the hanger and the note she began to doubt herself. Her body shook with untold pain and anger. She crumpled the note in her fist and looked around. Tears were leaking out of her eyes as she found the one person she was looking for. Ripping the hanger off her locker she marched towards.

Danny turned around and smiled at Sam, but it slipped when he saw the tears and anger.

"Sam, what's wrong?" He asked. He reached towards her but she flinched away.

"What's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong!" She said, "This, is wrong!" She said thrusting the note and hanger to him. Danny stared in puzzlement.

"Huh?" He said. Sam laughed ruefully.

"Wow, that was quite facade Daniel." She said dryly, "I mean really, for a second I actually thought..." Danny blinked.

He looked down at the items in his hands and raised an eyebrow. Sam stared at, expecting him to read the note. He did just that and his face was a mixture of anger and hurt.

"Sam...you think I wrote this?" He asked. She nodded, "But I didn't." He said. She scoffed.

"Right, that's why it matches your hand writing perfectly and it's signed with your name." She seethed. He glared at her.

"I didn't write this Sam, and you know it!" He said. She rolled her eyes.

"If you didn't want this from the beginning why did you lie? Why did you lie to my face? Why did you have-!" She stopped herself as she remembered their night of passion. Her throat squeezed shut and she felt a lump form. She gave Danny a hard slap to the face before she stopped off in anger. Danny stared after her. This wasn't him, it couldn't have been him.

Suddenly his ghost sense went off. He looked around and seeing as no one was in the hallway he turned ghost. He flew up into the air and looked around, just as he turned to leave, a giant green hand came down and smacked him into the ground.

"That was too easy!" A female voice said. Danny looked up, his eyes widened.
"Desiree?" He said. The ghost smiled at him.

"You are correct! And now that my plan unfolded quite nicely, getting rid of the putrid ghost brat will be a cinch." She said with an evil cackle. Danny gulped, this wasn't good.

But before he could make a small move to attack, Desiree shot an ecto-energy disk at him. Danny fell down to the earth with a groan before changing back to Fenton and going unconscious. Desiree let out a gleeful laugh before going to see a certain someone.

Sam laid on her bed, how could she have been so stupid? But then again...someone could have framed Danny. He wouldn't do something like that. He's a good person, a hero, he was her friend. She meant the world to him. But then why? Who would do something like that? Who would want her to suffer?

She wiped away her tears and scowled. She wouldn't cry, this is just a stupid misunderstanding. Danny loves her right? He wants to be part of the family too right? She sighed, these were the questions that she wanted to avoid. She felt like hitting herself. She should have denied. She should have tried harder to keep him from finding out. She felt so stupid and crazy.

"You know there are better ways to get rid of your problems." Female voice said. Sam jumped and grabbed the thermos next to her bed.

"Desiree." She said with a glare. The said ghost smiled sweetly.

"Yes it is me." She said. Sam growled.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"To grant you a wish." Came the reply. Sam froze.

"I don't have any wishes." She snarled. Desiree smiled at her.

"Surely there's a wish you want to make." Desiree said smiling at Sam. Sam froze. A wish? Did she have a wish to spare? She shook her head.

"No...not really." She said. She looked around, where was Danny? The temptation of making a wish felt nice...she could prevent all this from happening. She make Danny forget that the baby was his. But Desiree had other plans.

"Oh surely there is, perhaps you wish to live during the birth, or to make it to college...or perhaps even wish to go back in time and make it so you never were pregnant?" Desiree asked. Sam looked up at her with an eyebrow raised. Desiree knew she caught her attention.

Her heart seemed to beat fast. She could change this. She could change everything. She could have her life back. She smiled and looked up at the ghost.

"I can change this?" Sam asked. Desiree nodded. She looked down at her stomach...perhaps...she and Danny could try again later...perhaps when they are older and probably married. Her thoughts were interrupted by Desiree.

"Yes, but for a small price." She said. Sam looked at her.

"What?" She asked. Desiree's friendly smile turned devious. Sam shuddered.

"I'll grant the wish, but the choice is yours. The consequences after are not my fault. Do you wish to turn back the clock?" Desiree asked. Sam took in a deep breath. Was all this worth the risk?

"Fine." She said. How bad could it be anyways?

"So you have wished it, and so it shall be." Desiree said. Her lips curled into a smile. Sam stared up in shock before everything faded to black.

Waking up in the middle of class was something Sam did not want to experience again. Her back was sore from leaning in the desk and part of her cheek was red. She sighed as she stared at her reflection. Was she sick? She had gone to sleep early enough to last the day, so why did she fall asleep?

Shaking her head she walked out of the bathroom.

"There's a party this Saturday and everyone is invited!" Paulina said with a smile. Sam blinked. A party? At her house?

"Great, the two idiots should be coming any minute now." She muttered to herself. She walked to her locker and opened it. She almost screamed when she looked into her small mirror and saw a girl standing behind her. The girl had a pale face, tangled black hair, and torn clothing. Next to her, on each side, were two small children clutching her hand. They held the same appearance as the girl.

"Look behind the mirror and see between the lines." The girl said. Sam blinked and turned around.

"What did you-," but the girl was gone, "say..." Sam finished her sentence. She was a little freaked out right now. But the girl's words never left her mind.

"Hey Sam!" Danny called startling her. She jumped and gasped.

"Oh geez, Danny don't scare me like that." She exclaimed. Danny stared at her strangely but shrugged it off.

"Sorry about that, but guess what! Paulina's having a party and everyone is invited so-!" He started but she cut him off.

"Sure Danny, we can go." She said. His face lit up and brought her into a hug.

"You're the best Sam!" Danny exclaimed. Sam smiled.

oh no! What did Desiree do to Sam? Who was the strange girl and those two children?

Ok, so I know the whole preview wasn't in here, but this chapter was getting too long so I'll save the dramatic part for next time.

again I apologize!
