Danny may not have known much about pregnancy (something he didn't hesitate to admit), but he was a lot of help throughout the whole morning sickness ordeal, something Sam was grateful for and easily admitted. He always made sure she had plenty of Vitamin B6 and other nutrients to help quell the vomiting. Not that she didn't do things for herself, like splitting each all three meals into six. She also ate enough so that she didn't get hungry, and always obeyed her cravings whenever she'd get them, no matter how odd. Example: today, before she got off work, she had a slice of pizza. The topping? Pickle slices.
"So, Sam," Danny said that night as they sat down to dinner, " anything interesting happen to you today?"
"Not really. You?"
"I spoke with Tucker today. You know he's thinking of asking Valerie on a date?"
"Good for him."
"Do I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" Danny asked that night as they sat on the couch. Danny massaged her feet, kissing her toes as he went along.
"Only about once a week." She said as his strong fingers caressed the sole of her right foot. "Danny, I'm getting another craving."
"What do you want?"
"A salad."
"What would you like for your dressing?"
"Chocolate syrup, please."
The next evening, Sam and Danny had their parents over for dinner just so they could break the news to them.
"Mom, dad, Thurston, Lydia, Sam and I have some great news: Sam and I, we're expecting." Danny said as Sam put her hand over her stomach.
"Sammykins, congratulations." Lydia Manson said as her and Thurston took their daughter's hand.
"We're proud of you, dear. Remember, if the two of you ever need anything, never hesitate to ask."
If the Mansons were composed, the Fentons were the exact opposite. "Oh, honey, we're so proud of you!" Maddie said as she wrapped Danny in a bear hug.
"Mom…can't…breathe." Danny choked out as Maddie let go.
"So, Danny, Sam has a bun in the oven, does she?" Jack asked, ruffling Danny's hair. "So, how far along is she?"
"Two months."
"Sam, Honey, congratulations again on the child." Maddie said that night after dessert.
"Thank you, Maddie."
"Lydia and I wish to congratulate you, Daniel," Thurston said, "on your first child, and we apologize for ever doubting you. We're sure you'll be an excellent father. However, If you ever, and I mean ever, hurt my Samantha in any way, my lawyers and I will serve you with a subpoena so fast, your head will spin."
"Don't worry, sir," Danny said, biting his tongue, holding back what he was really thinking, "I love Sam too much to hurt her."
