Sam had visited Ellie for a little while before going back to the room she shared with Danny. The two had been so careful and they couldn't handle a second chil at seventeen. With the tournament and school for the rest of this year, a second child, and a pregnancy, weren't a part of their plan.

She hard Danny come in and turned away from the door.

"Sam," he said, "what's wrong?"

When she didn't answer he knelt on the ground in front of her. "Sammy, please."

Sam hugged him and felt herself beginning to cry. Danny held he tighter and Sam cried harder. "Sammy, what's wrong?"

Sam pulled away and looked at Danny. He had grown so much in the last three years. His hair fell down his back, his eyes looked as if they knew everything about the world, and he had grown to be so much taller than Sam.

"I know it's not what you want, and it's not something we can handle right now." She stopped for a moment before continuing. "We were so careful and never thought this would happen, but it did." Danny looked at her and she could tell he was confused. But he was concerned, angry that something he may have done had hurt her.

"I'm pregnant."

Danny stopped and looked at her, realizing why it had hurt her this much. He pulled her into him and stood, holding her in his arms. "It's okay.

"I know it's not what we had planned, and no, we aren't prepared right now, but we can do this. Our baby will be welcomed to the world and nothing will stop me from caring for you. All three of you. It'll be hard at first, but we can manage this."

He put her down and they looked at each other. "What're we going to do? What with the tournament, Ellie, school-"

"Hey, hey, look at me. Sam, look at me."

Sam looked back up and saw tears in his eyes.

"We'll be okay. I can finish the tournament and we can finish school before the baby comes. Ellie will love being a big sister, and we'll love both of them." Danny looked at her before kneeling once again.

"I don't have a ring, but I have all of my love to give you. Samantha Manson, will you marry me?"

At Hogwarts

Tucker had been playing outside with Cujo for a while and noticed that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were still watching. He sighed and threw Cujo's toy again.

"You three! Why don't you just come over here!" Not expecting that to do anything, he was surprised when the three actually made their way over to him.

"So," Tucker said, picking up Cujo's toy again, "what are you three up to?"

"We're sorry for looking at you," Hermione said quickly, "but after Danny and Sam rushed out this morning we were worried."

They're just kids, Tucker reminded himself.

"It's alright, they just had something they had to do. They'll be back soon."

"We also heard," Ron began slowly, "the teachers say something about their daughter."

"And?"

"So it's true then?" Harry asked. "They have a daughter?"

Tucker sat on the grass and leaned on the tree behind him. "Yeah, they do."

"Is she alright?" Hermione asked, sitting across from him. Ron and Harry following her lead.

"She's sick right now, a form of the flu, but knowing her she'll be alright soon. That one's a fighter."

"What's she like?"

"Her parents. Danny's hair and eyes, Sam's hands and nose. Sam's attitude, Danny's attention span. And a stubbornness from both of them." Tucker smiled. "She'll be just fine."

At the castle

Danny had stayed with Sam for a while after that, just holding her. She had said yes to his proposal and he couldn't be happier about that.

When he left Sam to sleep he went straight to Ellie's room, giving her all the support he could.

"Daddy?"

"I'm here."

"It hurts."

"I know honey, I know"

Danny felt her fall asleep but continued holding her. "I'll always be here."
