NoOne's Twilight, so fluffy and then so harsh. Damn! *Covers eyes*

DARKLOVEFORFANFICTION123, Sam realized that she needed him and even though she never went to him trust me that she was about to crack, but everyone else butted in so that nothing worse could happen. Sam can be so stubborn in her beliefs that sometimes she hurts herself and others. We love her no matter what though, right?

Okay, so it is about to get a little emotional, but don't worry before the last chapter (the one after this one) it will all be resolved. I won't tell you how, but it will be. Also, I have two new stories waiting in the wings so don't worry there are more DXS to come. LOL. Enjoy.

They fell into that rhythm from that day on, the problems that they had felt between them gone because there was no real problem that should have been there. Paulina was gone and so Sam was able to enjoy her time with Danny as they ate every meal together, save for when he had to go fight a ghost and then she was left to her own devices. There were times he didn't come back for hours, but when he did he was bandaged up and at first it hurt her feelings that someone else was taking care of the halfa. It struck her how silly she was being jealous of someone taking care of someone she wasn't dating or anything serious like that.

They continued to have sex because there came times when they both wanted it and being comfortable with each to her they allowed it, but one day after a particularly rough battle Danny came home after seeing his mother to bandage him up to find Sam in the mood. She was wearing little in the way of clothing, the black silk robe she was wearing barely hitting mid-thigh but as he looked at her, the beautiful Goth he had grown up with and her body swelling with his baby he knew that he wanted more than this arrangement with her.

Sam realized that Danny wasn't making his move like he usually did when she came on him like this. She knew it wasn't because she had blown out more with less than a month to go, no, Danny seemed to love touching her more now that their baby was growing bigger, but there was a look in his eyes and she couldn't seem to wrap her mind around it.

"What's wrong?" she questioned softly as she moved toward him, her amethyst eyes searching his cerulean orbs. He shook his head assuring her that nothing was wrong he just wanted to look at her. She smiled at his words. "Danny, you see me everyday."

"Yeah, but I just- never mind " he said as she moved toward her, his arms coming under her to pull her into his arms before carrying her into their room where they spent the next few hours looking, feeling and touching as much as they could because somehow in just that moment both of them realized how close it was to the date when everything would change and both of them wanted to savor it because what would happen once their baby was born?

Hours later Sam lay next to him, most of her covers thrown to the floor while she lay curled on her side. Sam's dark circles had gone away and her energy had seemed to be revived now that their daughter slept at night with the assistance of her father. Danny smiled down at her, his bare hand reaching out to touch the sleeping Goth's brow which relaxed further.

I want more, but would she say yes? He had to take a chance so getting up he headed for the bathroom to take a shower when he saw it in the tub corner. He had never noticed it before in the times that he had used her shower, but in the corner lay a ring on a chain, the blue gem the same color of his own eyes. Picking it up he felt a flash of light as his mind went back to the past, to a time he had been trying to remember. The answer to why...

They had just woken up, the night still out the window of Danny's room, the stars still sparkling and winking. Sam lay still looking out there with Danny at her side, her raven locks fanned out over his arm as she was pulled closer to his heart.

"Sam, I don't know why it took me this long," he murmured, the alcohol long gone from his system, but he knew that was what had given him the courage he had needed to approach her. "I wish I had seen it a long time ago." Sam didn't look at him, but he could feel her emotions change.

"What are you talking about, ghost boy?" she questioned as a yawn opened her lips and she stretched out, her small form arching under the sheets. She curl into his side after turning over.

"I love you, Samantha Alexandra Manson and I want to be with you forever." The Goth on his arm looked up with shock clear in her amethyst orbs.

"Danny, you don't have to say that be-" He cut her off as he leaned down and kissed her, his hands wrapping around her small waist to pull her onto him. Pulling back he smiled at her, a soft sexy smile, but one that told her volumes. The halfa wasn't just saying it. "Really?"

"Sam, as I said, I don't know what took me so long to realize it, but I love you and-" he stopped as he reached into his drawer where he pulled out a familiar ring. "Samantha Manson, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" The raven hair woman found her eyes watering as she nodded. He slipped it on her hand, and although it was a bit big she still loved it making a promise to never take it off.

"Except for baths because it might fall off," she said with a smile as they kissed once more. The pair of them passed out moments later still cuddled close as the night went on. A few hours after that Danny got up, his eyes blurry as he looked to the bathroom and then to the woman laying comfortably on him. He really had to use the restroom so making his upper body intangible he allowed her to pass through him before turning to head for the bathroom.

"I love you, Sam," had been his thought at the time as he made a move to leave the bed, but what he didn't realize was that his foot was caught in blankets with Sam's so when he went tom yank it out it wrapped tighter around him and he fell forward, his head hitting the corner of the nightstand next to his bed. With a grunt he fell to the floor, the darkness entering his vision.

"Oh, Sam," the halfa muttered now as he looked at the necklace, the ring glittering on it. He wasn't sure how he should feel. He understood what she thought she was doing by keeping this from him, but at the same time he was upset because she had known this, but had never told him. It would have brought it all back and none of this shit would have happened. He would have never gone out with Paulina that day, Sam would never had run from him, no, they would be laying together with nothing by happiness between them, but now... Now there were secrets, though found out, there were secrets and half truths as well as bitterness and distrust.

He walked into the bedroom where Sam still slept, her position having changed so she was under the covers as her small form shook. He walked to the edge of the bed and laid the necklace in her open palm as he wondered whether he could stay with her knowing that she still had unsure feelings. That night they had been so sure of thier love for each other, but now look at them! He knew that he loved her, but she questioned that and he wasn't sure if he could be with her if that were the case because then he wouldn't be sure if she would ever allow him back in her heart.

"Mm, Danny," the little Gothic woman murmured in her sleep, her brows narrowing. "Don't leave me."

"I never did," he muttered. "I just got lost." With that he took off leaving Sam to sleep in their bed alone while the halfa went to think about what he would do.

When Sam woke up about thirty minutes later she found the necklace in her hand first before she realized that Danny was gone. She didn't have to look for him because she knew that he had left her, his calming presence gone. This was what she had wanted, right? As she sat up she felt the pain that she had felt when she had been confronted by all their families and with a wince she knew this wasn't practice, but she also knew that with it just starting there was no way that it was time. Getting up she headed for the closet to get her overnight bag when she was hit with another one.

"Damn it," she cussed as she stopped trying to move the small bag so she could make it back to bed. This was just not her day. Laying down she relaxed hoping that maybe it would stop because as much as she was ready for her child to come into the world she didn't want to be alone.

Are you sure? You were the one that pushed the one you loved away?

"Just shut up," she muttered to her inner voice. "I know what I did, but who is to say that it wasn't for his own good? Huh? Nothing to say to that."

I think that you think that it was a good idea because you were hurt and wanted to hurt him so you could wallow in that pain. Typical Goth. Pushing the ones that love you away.

"Shut up!" She closed her eyes. That was what she had done? She had been hurt by mistake so now that he had tried to make it right because he had said that he loved her and Danny never lied, not about something like this. He had never really lied to her in the time they had been together and the one time that he makes a mistake that he obviously had no control over she punishes him like a bad dog that gets it's nose rubbed in the shit. "I'm an idiot." Turning on her side she notices that the ring is on the edge of the bed, but on the nightstand is the book that Danny had been reading about his lost memories. "Memories and Why You Lost Yours."

Danny on the other hand was back at his parent's house, no one was there, but he didn't need anyone as he sat in his own room, the posters from his youth around him as well as all the memories.

Can I do this? Can I take what she has given to me and just run with that?

Sam was giving him the right to see their child, to have an active role in Lilith's life, but not in her's. No, she wanted him out of her life claiming that they had no future.

...Her parents weren't the best ones and I know that is all based on one's opinion of a good parent...

...because Sam was an accident and when her mother went to get the abortion she was told by her parents and Jeremy's that if she did it that both sets of parents would disown them...

The words from Dean echoed in his head, but as much as he could feel the anger he could also remember all the times they had been together and then that one night, that night that it had finally come to a head.

Sam smiled at him from the rain, her raven locks sticking to her face as they danced in the rain like they had as children. That was why he liked being with her, his Gothic friend. She was herself no matter how crazy or how dark she acted. She never backed down from her beliefs and then here she was dancing in the rain without a worry in the world.

Sam never let things like that effect her. She had always rebelled as she didn't want to be what she wasn't and she wasn't a rich snobby girl reaching out for her parent's love because they didn't deserve it, but she wanted his.

"No! Don't do it Danny!" the amethyst eyed woman squealed, but Danny showed no mercy as he pulled her close to him, his hands twisting in her hair. "Oh, my god!" she groaned as right hand continued to work the paint into her hair while the other one moved down her neck and into her shirt. Sam reached up and began to rub at the paint on his face. As they stood there rubbing paint on each other something in the air changed. Neither knew who did it, but suddenly their lips were locked together and they were pulling each other closer, their bodies as close as they could get as their mouths devoured each other. "Danny," she murmured. "Please."

Sam had wanted his love and then she had pushed it away. She was afraid and even though he felt that wasn't a great reason he could see it as being a good reason to her. She was afraid that the reason he had forgotten was because he would forget one day and walk out. That had to be the reasoning.

BEEP BEEP

The halfa looked up as his computer flashed on and Tucker appeared on the screen.

"Hey, dude, what are you doing at home? I tried to call you at Sam's but she didn't seem to know where you had gone." He looked closely at his friend's face and found that his friend was mad, sad, in love, and confused. "Wow, you have it bad man."

"Is there something that you want?" the raven haired half ghost inquired as he moved toward the computer "Because I don't really want to hang out right now." Tucker held up a disc. "Well?" The dark skinned male said nothing as he seemed to put it somewhere below him and the screen changed to one of Sam with four people standing below her at her house. Danny sat down as the camera focused on the Gothic woman who looked really pissed.

"I kicked him out for all involved in this fiasco, not that that is any of your concern. Danny has every right to see his child after I give birth, but until then I don't want that drama around our child. Do you not understand how I feel about that male!? No! You don't!" She looked at Blossom, Maddie, and Jack before coming back to Dean. "I love him! Are you fucking happy?! I love him and no matter what we did to be together the universe had other ideas." Pulling out the necklace that rested around her neck she thrust it at Dean, the class ring glittering in the light.

"I know that you two know what this is!" she screamed at Danny's parents. "This is the ring that you had engraved with my name all those years ago, the only people who saw something while others just made fun of us." She put it back in her shirt. "First it takes me forever to realize what I felt for him and then I had to watch, just watch as he dated Paulina and then Valerie. I never said one word because he was happy! I let him be happy even as I was miserable, but I never left him. No, I went along with him through every girl he chased and even though I wanted to walk away I never could. Stupid me, but I would never take it back." Silence greeted her. "When you know really know what is going on then you can come after me like some torch bearing mob until then get your fucking facts str-"

The screen went black leaving Danny to think. They were both wrong. They were both stupid! Getting up he headed off toward Sam house only to find an ambulance leaving that very residence.

"Sam!" he yelled as he rushed after the bus, his legs changing to his ghost tail as he speed off to reach it.
