I just felt like writing this because I got bitten by one of my pet plot kitties (I know the expression is "plot bunnies", but I'm a cat person). I got the inspiration because my Aunt Lisa said that some magazine did a poll on what women found sexiest in a man, and most said "Is good with kids."

A/N: Danny, Sam, and Tuck are sixteen on this story.

Disclaimer: I only own the kids at Sam's daycare. I don't even own Legos (well, I do own Legos, but I don't own the rights).

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Tired of asking their parents for money, most of which was spent at the movies, Danny and Tucker had taken summer jobs working at the Nasty Burger while Sam, more out of boredom than anything else, volunteered at a local daycare center. "On the upside," Danny said to himself, "today's kind of slow, what with everyone off on vacation. I live for days like this." It was actually because nearly everyone had gone that Danny had been made cashier.

Finally 3:00 rolled around. "See ya tomorrow, Tracy!" Danny said as he and Tuck entered their employee ID numbers to clock out before they changed into their street clothes. "Need a ride, Tuck?" Asked Danny as he opened the door to his most prized possession, a used 1999 Buick Century that his parents had bought for him as sixteenth birthday present.

"Danny, you have been showing off ever since you got that thing." Tucker said with a grin.

"What'd you say? I can't hear you over my surround sound." Danny replied with a sort of lighthearted brag.

"Shut up." Tucker laughed, grinning even more as he jokingly flipped Danny the bird and walked off.

Danny drove until he came to a sign that said "Appleseed Daycare Center: Helping to sow the seeds of knowledge."

"Hey, Sam." He said as he walked up to his girlfriend of two years and his best friend since childhood, who was in the process of changing a diaper. "Ready to go?"

"Actually, Danny, I'm gonna be a few minutes. Alice called and said she's gonna be a few minutes before she gets in, so I volunteered to stay." She said, kissing him as she washed her hands.

"Mind if I stick around and help look after the little monsters?"

"No, go right ahead. So what brings you here?"

"I just thought I'd spend a little time with the one I love most." He said as he returned the kiss. "And you." She grinned and lightly punched him in the shoulder, knowing by the one I love most he pretended to mean the Buick.

"Sam has a boyfwiend." Said a small voice in a singsong manner. They looked down and saw Marty Johnson, an adorable five year-old with a mess of brown, mousy hair.

"Yeah? And what are you punk kids gonna do about it, huh?" Asked Danny as he gave the kid a noogie.

"Giwls awe icky and have cooties."

"Well it's time Dr. Danny gave someone his cootie shot." Danny replied, lightly punching the kid on the shoulder. "I like your shirt." Danny said, pointing a Marty's t-shirt, which had the Danny Phantom emblem on it.

"Thanks. Danny Phantom's my favowite supewhewo evew. Do you think he could outfwy Supewman?"

"Of course he could. It's a proven, scientific fact." Danny said as he whispered it into the kid's ear. Sam laughed a little as Danny went off with to build Legos with Alex. The kids loved playing with Danny, and Danny loved playing with the kids. He's going to be a great father some day. She thought to herself.

Danny heard some rustling in the back of the room where two kids were fighting over a dump truck. "Danny, could you take care of this?" Sam asked, handing him an infant as she went over to break up the tussle.

"Sure." Danny took a whiff of the child. "Whoo. If there's anything I remember from Home Ec., it's how to change a diaper. Oh, no, now I'm going to have to change again." Danny said as the baby boy squirted him in the chest.

"Ready, aim, fire." Teased Sam's voice from behind him.

"Hardy har har."

"Hey, Sam, sorry I'm late. I had to go to a Parent/Teacher meeting."

"No problem, Alice. Say, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Danny." Sam brought Alice to a slender, raven haired young man who was now back to playing with Legos, pretending to make dinosaurs eat Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars. "Danny, this is my coworker, Alice."

"Nice to meet you." Danny said, extending his hand.

"Always a pleasure." Alice said, accepting it. "He's a cutie." Alice said as Sam and her walked to the other room where Sam's purse was.

"Hey, back off, he's mine." Sam replied with a grin.

"I know, I know. It's just that he's so handsome and he gets along well with the kids. Sam, I think this guy's a keeper."

"You know what Alice said today?" Sam asked that afternoon, after Danny changed into a clean shirt, as the two of them sat watching "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" in Sam's movie room, her head on his lap.

"That I'm the perfect man for her and that she wants to run away with me to the Bahamas?" Teased Danny in a mock masculine voice.

"No." Sam said, cracking up. "She said she thinks you're a keeper. And you know what? I do, too. You know what else I think?" She asked, tickling the back of his left earlobe.

"What?"

"I also think you'd make a great father."
