The day of the wedding finally arrived. Friends and family of the couple sat in pews facing the altar. The Fentons and Mansons were sitting next to each other, all parents bawling at their children's union (and their own subsequent union as in-laws). Classmates from high school and college also dotted the audience. Danny stood on the podium in front of the interfaith minister with Tucker, his best friend and best man, by his side. "Nervous?" The chocolate-skinned man asked with a grin.
"Nah, its not like I'm about to get married, right?"
"You two were obviously made for each other. Who else were you going to marry?"
"That's not what I'm nervous about. What if I can't be a good husband to her?"
"You'll be fine. You both love each other and that's all that matters."
"Yeah, and what if a ghost shows up?"
"She's been fighting ghosts with you for like ten years now. Why would it make a difference now that you're married?"
"The ghosts might want to hold her for ransom or something."
"You worry too much. Stop being paranoid."
Danny was about to respond to this but stopped when the organ began to play. Now, Danny was never one to put much stock in tradition, so it's not like he wasn't willing to interrupt the organ to bite Tucker's head off. He couldn't respond because he saw Sam walking down the aisle with her father, and he was rendered speechless. He couldn't believe that after all these years they were finally going to be together forever. After all of the trials and tribulations he had put her through, what with Paulina and then Valerie, he had been afraid that he would let her down again and hurt her by dating another woman instead. He was deathly afraid that something would happen to drive them apart, and he didn't want to put her through that kind of separation. He knew that it would be too hard for either of them to bear. But after today, he wouldn't have to worry about that any more. He would be bound to his Sam for all eternity, and he wouldn't have it any other way. God, she looks beautiful in that dress, he thought. As she approached the podium, she attempted to dislodge her hand from that of her father. She succeeded on the third try and joined her true love. Without further ado, they were wed in holy matrimony. They kissed, and the room erupted in cheers.
At the party, Danny and Sam led the dancing and festivities. As they twirled around the dance floor, they were approached by none other than Vlad Masters. "Daniel, Samantha, I couldn't be happier for the two of you. In fact, I've paid for you to honeymoon in the Caribbean for two weeks at the Ritz Carleton in St. Thomas. "Wow, Vlad, thank you so much! And thank you for the other thing as well," Danny whispered with a wink. Vlad smiled and melded into the crowds littering the dance floor. "What was that about?" Sam asked. Danny glanced around the room and then leaned forward to whisper in her ear: "He touched me with the Plasmius Maximus before the ceremony so that my ghost sense wouldn't keep going off and alerting everyone to their presence. You wouldn't have been able to notice it, but almost every ghost we know watched the ceremony and is dancing, invisible and intangible, right now. I had thought about the Box Ghost and Lunch Lady wedding and decided to reciprocate the favor." "You're a real sweetie, Danny." "And you're my Goth Princess, Sammy."
That night, they went to the airport and flew to the Caribbean to enjoy their honeymoon. They relaxed on the beach by day, and had candlelit dinners by night. It was a wonderful vacation and the newlyweds were loath to leave it behind. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and it was too soon before they had to board the plane home. They were driven to FentonWorks in the Fenton RV, where Jack and Maddie had prepared a small party to celebrate their return, just with the family and close friends. Champaigne was passed all around. "No thanks," Sam said. "I'll just have a coke, if it's not too much trouble." Jazz gave her a questioning look, which immediately turned into one of wide-eyed surprise. "No way!" She said slowly.
"Yep!" Sam exclaimed happily.
"Sam, that's wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!" Danny couldn't comprehend his sister's behavior. "What?" he asked. Jazz whispered something to Maddie, who immediately began jumping for joy.
"Oh, I'm so proud of you!" She shouted.
"This is great news!" Jack said, having been let in on the secret.
"C'mon, guys, what is it?" Danny whined.
"You always were the clueless one, Danny," Jazz noted with a smirk.
"Just tell me already! What's everyone so excited about?"
"Should we tell him or let him figure it out on his own?" Jazz asked.
"You tell him, sweetie." Maddie nodded to Sam.
"Danny, I'm pregnant!" Sam said, beaming all the while.
He stared at her in shock as he let the words sink in. Suddenly, pure joy radiated from his eyes and a huge smile cracked his face. He shouted out joyfully and enveloped her in a bone-crushing hug. "I'm gonna be a dad!" He said, over and over. He hugged Jazz, then Maddie and Jack. He held his beloved's hand looked into her amethyst eyes. "We're going to be parents!" he exclaimed giddily. "We're going to raise a family of our own! We're going to be parents!"
"I can't believe that we're going to be grandparents," Maddie muttered.
"Wait 'till I tell Vladdie. He'll be so happy!" Jack said.
"We should call Tucker and tell him the news," Sam thought out loud.
"Heck, we should make Tucker out baby's godfather!" Danny exclaimed.
"That's true, he should be the godfather. I just want to call my parents first."
"Okay, just put it on speaker phone, I want to hear their reactions," Danny said with an evil grin. Sam mirrored the grin and dialed her home phone number. Her father picked up the phone first.
"Dad, it's me, Sam. Danny and I just got back from our honeymoon."
"That's great, sweetie! Do you two know where you're going to live?"
"Well, we figured that we would just stay in the apartment we've been sharing for the past year or so."
"Good, good."
"Oh, and Daddy? I have another bit of news."
"What is it, Sammykins?"
"I'm pregnant!" They heard a thud and Sam's mother spoke into the phone next.
"What happened, Samantha? Your father fainted all of a sudden."
"I was just telling him about our honeymoon."
"Oh! How did it go? Did you enjoy yourselves?"
"Well, I'm pregnant now so…yeah." The Fenton family expected to hear another thud. What they didn't expect was for Sam's mother to shriek with joy.
"Sammy, that's wonderful! When are you due? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Uh…I'm due in August, and I just found out a couple of weeks ago, so I don't exactly know whether it's a boy or a girl yet…"
"And who are its godparents going to be?"
"Danny and I were thinking of naming Tucker as its godfather."
"This is terrific news, Sam! Your father and I are so proud of you! Well, I am and I'm sure that he will be once he wakes up. Keep us updated!"
"I will, Mom, don't worry."
"Bye, honey."
"Bye, Mom." Sam hung up the phone and turned to face her in-laws.
"Well your father took the news rather…well," Maddie joked.
"Yeah, wasn't it great? I love making him faint, it's become kind of a sport for me."
"I'm glad that your mother is as optimistic about this baby as we are, though" Jazz said. "The last thing a new family needs is a lack of support coming from one of the sets of soon-to-be grandparents. It's completely detrimental to the psychological health of the parents, not to mention the child…"
"Okay, Jazz, I think we get it," Danny said exasperatedly. Sam looked at the clock on the wall that had a green ghost as its face and said, "It's getting pretty late. We should get home." Danny hugged her one more time, saying, "We're going to be parents! It's unbelievable!" He drove her to their apartment with that sappy grin still on his face. Finally, the couple entered their apartment.
"Danny, if you don't stop smiling like that your face will get stuck that way."
"I'm just so happy, Sam. I can't believe that in less than a year, we'll be starting a family of our own. I'm almost as happy as the day I realized that you're the only true love for me."
"So, in other words, the day you finally got over Paulina?"
"Wow…that stage of our lives seems so long ago already. It feels like it's been an eternity since we've had to deal with her and Dash, Kwan, and the rest of the football team."
"Not to mention since you went through the portal and became the town hero."
"Yeah, first I had to get over being Public Ghost Enemy #1."
"You were always my hero, Danny," She said, giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Hero I might have been, but you were always there to save me. You saved me from Ember, remember?"
"Hey, that rhymed."
"Gah, don't remind me!"
"You're still scared of rhymes? You big baby."
"If you think that I'm a baby, just wait 'till August."
"Funny, real funny."
"I still can't believe that we're going to be parents!"
"How many times are you going to say that? You're starting to sound like the Box Ghost, what with all of the repetitions."
"I'm just so happy for us. I love you so much Sam."
"I love you too, Danny. More than words can say." They shared a long kiss, then turned out the lights and went to bed.
SAVE DANNY PHANTOM!
