OOOOOOO

By the time that Sam's next appointment came two weeks later, Danny had a list two and a half pages long full of questions for the doctor. Dr. Rossell hid a smile as she patiently answered his questions after she had examined Sam. The doctor then reached into a cabinet and pulled out a book that contained information and graphic pictures of the labor and birth process and started to flip through them. With each page, Danny got paler and when the book finally closed; he mumbled something about using the restroom and quickly excused himself. Dr. Rossell pointed him in the right direction and as soon as he turned the corner, she shut the door and looked at Sam, laughing.

"That always gets them. Now that Danny is gone for a few minutes, we can have a chat." The doctor pulled a chair up and sat down. "So do you have any questions for me?"

Sam smirked as she shook her head. "I think Danny covered every question I may have until the baby goes to kindergarten."

The doctor asked Sam several questions about how she was feeling before Sam left the room and waited by the bathroom for Danny. He came out a minute later still looking slightly pale.

"Hey, are you all done?"

"Yes, I made my next appointment and I'm all set for a month."

Unfortunately, for Sam, she spent the next month constantly suffering from morning sickness. The only thing she seemed to be able to keep in her stomach was tea and toast, which Danny brought her faithfully every morning before she got out of bed.

Danny was getting home late after being waylaid by Technus, who was terrorizing an electronics store. He walked in the door; locking it behind him and put the Fenton Thermos he was carrying on the side table to remind himself to take it over to his parent's house to put Technus back into the ghost zone. He ran his hand through his hair tiredly and looked around for Sam.

"Sam?"

She wasn't in the living room or the kitchen so he started up the stairs when he noticed the bathroom door closed and a light coming from underneath it. Backtracking he walked to the door and knocked.

"Sam, are you in there?" He listened for a moment and heard a soft noise.

"Sam, are you all right?" He knocked on the door again and turned the knob, finding the door locked. Getting nervous, he rattled the doorknob. "Sam open the door…Sam? I'm coming in."

Transforming into Danny Phantom, he phased through the bathroom door and changed back. Sam was sitting on the tile floor leaning against the wall with her knees pulled into herself. Danny crouched down next to her and swept her sweaty hair back from her forehead.

"Sick again sweetheart?"

Sam opened her eyes and looked up at him, taking a shuddering breath. "Whoever thought up the term morning sickness should be sued for false advertisement," she joked weakly.

Danny smiled at her and stood up, unlocking the door before reaching down to help her to her feet.

"Why don't you go upstairs and take a shower and I'll get you some tea."

Nodding, she took a couple of steps before weaving and he quickly steadied her, frowning as he noticed how tired and weak she seemed before coming to a decision. He bent down and lifted her up into his arms, ignoring her protest as he walked up the stairs into the bedroom. Sam gave up protesting and closed her eyes, barely noticing as he laid her down on the bed and walked away. A minute later, he was back, sitting her up and removing her clothing before lifting her again and walking into their bathroom. She opened her eyes as she heard the water running and realized that he was filling the huge round tub.

"Thanks," she whispered as he set her on her feet, only to tighten his hold on her as her knees buckled.

"God, Sam."

She could hear the worry in his voice and tried to force a smile. "I'm fine now, Danny really."

Shaking his head he turned ghost and went intangible, phasing his clothes off so he would not have to let go of her. Becoming human again, he lifted her and stepped into the tub, settling down with her leaning back against his chest. Embarrassed at her weakness, Sam tried to argue but once again he ignored her and she found herself relaxing as he washed her off and shampooed her hair. Standing them both up he dried them off and stepped out of the tub, picking her up again and carrying her back to the bedroom. Placing her on the bed, he turned the lights off, climbed in next to her, pulling the covers up over them, and put his arm around her waist, drawing her back up against his chest. Danny kissed her hair and got comfortable.

"Try to get some sleep Sammi."

Sam, already half asleep, burrowed closer. "Love you," she said sleepily.

"I love you too," he replied.

Danny woke early the next morning and slipped quietly out of bed, careful not to wake her. Getting dressed and padding downstairs barefoot he called Sam in sick to work and then called Tucker.

"Hello?"

"Hey Tuck."

"Hi Danny, what's up?" Tucker asked.

"Listen I'd like to stay home today with Sam, can you handle things on your own for the day?"

"Sure, no prob. Sam still getting sick?"

Danny sighed. "Yeah, it's been really tough on her. The doctor said they could give her something for the sickness that wouldn't harm the baby but Sam refused saying she didn't want to take the chance. Hopefully she'll start feeling better soon. Anyway thanks a lot Tucker."

"Anytime man."

Standing up Danny stretched and headed into the kitchen to make tea and toast for Sam. Taking it up and setting it on her bedside table, he snuck her copy of the latest pregnancy book and returned downstairs, getting comfortable. Thirty minutes later, he looked up from the book as he heard Sam running down the stairs, swearing as she headed for the door. Seeing him, she stopped.

"Danny? Why are you home? Never mind, why didn't you wake me? I'm late."

"No you're not."

"What do you mean?" Sam asked as she gave him a weird look.

Danny stood, placing the book on the coffee table. "Relax, I called them and said you weren't coming in today."

She blinked at him. "You what?" She said softly, her lips thinning.

He didn't seem to notice as he walked over to the side table and picked up the thermos he had left there the night before. "I figured you needed the rest, I have to run over to Mom and Dad's, I ran into Technus last night on the way home and I need to put him back into the ghost zone. Do you want to come with me?"

"Danny, I cannot believe you did that! I can't just take a day off to loaf around, I have too much work to do," Sam yelled at him.

Surprised, Danny tried to reason with her. "Sam, you've been sick an awful lot lately, you're not sleeping enough, I just decided you could use a day or two to rest up."

"You decided?" Sam said as she stalked over to him and poked him in the chest. "And what the hell gives you (poke) the right (poke) to make decisions for me?" (poke).

Getting angry, Danny grabbed her hand to stop her poking at him and frowned at her. "Maybe because I'm your husband and it's my responsibility to take care of you and the baby. Maybe because you're too stubborn to admit that you need to slow down a little. Maybe because I don't want to see you endanger your health and the baby's and end up in the hospital!"

Glaring at her, he watched as her eyes narrowed and her mouth opened, closed, and then opened again.

"Did you just accuse me of endangering my own child Danny Fenton?"

Confused, he shook his head. "What? No, of course not, Sam you're being ridiculous."

"How dare you. How dare you accuse me of not caring about my baby," Sam hissed at him, enraged.

Danny backed up a step looking at her blazing lavender eyes. "Sam…"

"Get. Out."

"What?"

"Get. Out."

"Sam come on…" Danny took a step forward and looked at her in disbelief, then ducked as she grabbed a ceramic candleholder and threw it at him, causing it to shatter against the wall behind him.

"I told you to get out! Now!" She screamed at him as she lifted the other candleholder and raised it, ready to throw.

He raised his hands, angry and confused. "Fine! I'll go, I'm gone," he said as he grabbed his keys from the hook near the door and walked out, slamming the door behind him.

Sam simply stood there, staring at the empty room, the silence overwhelming. She looked down at the candleholder she still held in her right hand before shakily putting it down and walking over to the couch, she sat down, numb. What did I do?

Even though he had grabbed his keys Danny knew that he was too angry and upset to drive, so he changed into his ghost form and flew off, not really knowing or caring where he was going. He pushed himself to the limit, breaking his speed record of 243mph. He eventually found himself at his parent's house, his anger gone leaving pain, and confusion in its place. Weary, he landed and tried to concentrate, managing to summon the blue rings of light that signaled his change from ghost to human before heading to the door. Maddie Fenton looked up as she saw him come through the door.

"Danny, hi sweetie, aren't you usually at work right now?" Walking toward him, she stopped, noting the look of pain and worry on his face. "Honey, what's wrong? Is it Sam; are she and the baby all right?"

"She threw me out…she told me to leave. I don't even know what happened," Danny said shaking his head.

"Oh, dear, come in and sit down." Maddie led Danny into the kitchen and made sure he sat down before pouring coffee into two mugs and setting them on the table. "Why don't I take that for you Danny, another ghost?"

Danny looked up, surprised to see he still held the thermos in his hand. "Oh, yeah…um Technus I think."

Jack and Maddie had found out about Danny's ghost powers his senior year in high school and all his fears had proved unfounded. They accepted him wholeheartedly and were extremely proud of what their son did for the town of Amity Park. Maddie smiled at him as she took the thermos and put it on the counter so she could take it down to the lab later. She sat down and looked at her son.

"All right, tell me what happened."
