Okay, the questions should be answered in this Chapter, if not, then this story is sure to be a long one. Oh, also if you guys are a little confused on how much Danny and Sam actually remember, Sam doesn't remember anything she did in the past year, while Danny remembers...well, I'll tell you in this Chapter alright? I think you have an idea, but if you want me to be more specific, I can give a more specific date.
I'll try to speed things up a little, things are going pretty slow at the moment, I hope that doesn't mind you guys. But I do want to speed things up a little so we can get more progress and not have it boring.
Anyways, on with the next Chapter Enjoy Chapter 5 of Forgetful Love! ^^

Not long later, Danny heard a knock at the door, it was very subtle but he could only just hear it. He assumed that it was a Doctor trying not to disturb him. But when he heard the door open, he looked up to see that it was Tucker peeking his head through.
"Tucker?" Danny asked. "Is everything okay...?" he asked before assuming everything being okay was about him being okay. "Well, besides me that is."
Tucker entered the room and closed the door quietly behind him; he was being very sneaky and secretive. He didn't say anything until he sat next to Danny.
"Danny, how much do you really remember?"
Danny looked puzzled at his best friend, he looked down in thought. He wasn't exactly sure how much he could remember, he knew he remembered his family and friends, as well as his relationship with Sam, and he definitely remembered having ghost powers. To make sure, he raised his hand and formed a energy small ball of ecto energy in the form of light.
"Well, I remember all you guys, and my ghost powers."
"Do you know...what happened last night?" He asked lowering his head.
"Um...no I don't think so. Why, was it bad?"
Tucker bit his lower lip, and was about to speak when there was a knock at the door, the door slowly opened to reveal the doctor who was looking after him.
"Good morning. I'm just here to make sure that everything is working as it should be."
The Doctor then walked over to where many documents on a desk needed to be checked over. He shuffled them around before reading over them and grabbing them, he walked over to the heart monitor was on the other side of Danny's bed opposite of where Tucker was. He grabbed out his pen and began writing down some information. Danny and Tucker looked at each other feeling slightly awkward to have the doctor right there when Tucker was about to ask Danny something super important.
After taking a few more readings, the doctor clicked his pen and placed it in his pocket.
"Okay, looks like everything is going normal, but we will have to take a blood test later today just to check that the insides are functioning normally."
"Functioning normally? I thought I was fine, and doesn't the heart monitor say that I'm fine?" Danny asked gesturing to the heart monitor, and seriously worried about him finding any evidence through his blood that he was part ghost.
"The heart monitor only monitors heart activity and assesses your cardiac rhythm."
Danny looked like he didn't understand exactly what he was saying; he looked at Tucker and hoped that Tucker would be able to explain it to him in a more simple way. Even though Danny was a young adult, he still felt that ghost fighting was preventing him from learning more about all these things.
Tucker immediately understood by the look that Danny gave him, he looked up at the doctor who was unsure of what was going on; he was expecting a reply from Danny.
"It monitors how your heart is going , and it measures how fast your pulse is going. Right now, it's fine." Tucker explained.
"Oh, now I get it."
The doctor felt slightly insulted by Danny not being able to understand, but then walked off and requested that Danny have some time to eat.
"Tucker, would you follow me please?" The doctor requested.
Tucker knew that so badly, he wanted to say no and tell Danny about what happened a couple of nights ago, but knew that the polite young man he was, he reluctantly got up from the chair and followed the doctor out of the room and began to wonder what the doctor wanted him for.
Shortly after Tucker left the room, the doctor closed the door and then sat on a nearby chair. He gestured to Tucker to sit next to him, it seemed to Tucker that he wanted to talk about Danny or something with him.
"You wouldn't happen to know anything that has happened prior to the accident, would you? It's just for medical reasons."
Tucker felt a bit shaky, he knew exactly what the doctor wanted to hear, but he knew that he had to lie. He decided to be a little evasive at first.
"Well...I don't really know."
"Do you know anything?" He asked seeming suspicious as he saw the worried look on Tucker's face.
"I do know this one thing...right before the accident..."
Tucker wanted to tell him what happened between Danny and Sam, but knew how furious their parents would be, he truly wanted to tell him, but Danny was his best friend, and so was Sam. He had to make something up before he was caught.
"What was it? Did it include any physical activity?"
"It kind of did, actually. " He answered trying to be subtle.
There was an awkward moment of silence before Tucker spoke again.
"It was...running. A lot of running." Tucker said with a nod.
The doctor nodded in reply and wrote down some notes from what Tucker had just told him. And then he proceeded to get up and organise his papers a little better.
"Thank you Tucker." He said before leaving.
Tucker looked at the doctor as he walked away, and then sighed in relief that he didn't give away what happened between Danny and Sam and what the actual cause of the accident was.
He quickly went back to Danny's room, but then saw that Jazz had arrived to see how he was doing, tucker wanted to talk to Danny in private about it since it was only him, Danny and Sam that supposedly knew about what happened two nights ago. Unfortunately, Tucker was the only one who remembers what they told him moments before the crash.
"Hey Jazz."
"Hi Tucker," Jazz greeted. "How are you?"
Tucker shrugged in reply with his hands shoved in his pockets, he tried to seem very casual and not give away what was on his mind.
"I'm good, though they said that Danny would have to take a blood test later on today."
Jazz knew that a blood test had to be done, especially after the accident both Danny Sam had endured. She felt worried about what the results could be, and hoped that nothing bad would come to Danny. But she knew that if a blood test wasn't done, then they wouldn't know if anything was wrong with him.
"I hope he'll be okay." She said looking at the door which led to Danny's room.
"I hope so too."
They both went in to see Danny lying down looking miserable. He was examining his body, and as Jazz and Tucker approached him, they could see that he had fresh tears running down his cheeks. They both knew exactly what he was crying about.
"Hi Danny." Jazz said as she sat on the chair situated next to the bed. "Mum and Dad will be coming over later to check on you. They're just a little busy at the moment."
Danny smiled a little but then frowned again as he looked at his bruised arms and didn't say a word. Tucker wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. He knew that he was worried about Sam, but the only thing Tucker wanted to talk about was the future that was in store for him and Sam. For an unknown reason, Tucker felt like this was best keeping secret as much as Danny's ghost powers. He knew that it was definitely a big deal, and he knew very well that they weren't ready and telling the doctors would be the best solution, but he couldn't help but hold back.
Jazz was the first to say something to him, she knew the pain he was going through, and yet she hadn't experienced the same pain Danny was going through, and she knew that he needed all the support he could get.
"Don't worry Danny; they say Sam is doing great."
"I hope she is, and I really do want to see her." Danny stated feeling desperate to see Sam.
Jazz smiled. "You'll see her in time." She said stroking Danny's hair. "I assure you." She ended with a smile.
Less than an hour later, the doctor who was looking after Sam knocked on Sam's door, he saw his parents still with her having conversations with her about what had happened between New Year's Eve and the current day. He opened the door, and then knocked on the door to get their attention.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I need to take a blood test."
"Of course, Jeremy, let's wait outside." Sam's mother insisted pointing to the door while looking at her husband.
Jeremy nodded in reply then smiled at Sam briefly before following his wife out of the room.
Shortly afterwards, the doctor prepared a needle to inject into Sam's arm. Sam grew worried since she hadn't had a needle injected into her for a long time, the last time she had one was for immunisations a few years ago.
"Okay, now it shouldn't take too long." He implied approaching Sam with the needle.
Sam felt tense, but knew that this had to be done to ensure that she was alright on the inside physically. So she held her breath like all the other times she had a needle injected into her and closed her eyes as she felt the thin needle pierce her skin. It stayed there for more than a few seconds, Sam could feel the blood being sucked up by the needle, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling.
"All done." The doctor said with a smile as he had withdrawn the needle.
Sam opened her eyes and saw where he had pricked her skin, there was a tiny hole with a small leakage of blood, the doctor handed her a cotton ball to dab it with.
"Thanks Sam, I'll let you recover in case you have any symptoms from having a blood test. And, just letting you know now that I will need to take an additional blood test in about eight hours. So no eating until then please."
Sam looked up at the doctor and nodded in reply with a small smile. The doctor then left the room with the sample of Sam's blood. Sam rested her head on the pillow and looked to the wall opposite the door, she saw the dark curtains covering the window, and she wondered why they weren't withdrawn to reveal the sunlight shining through her window. Sam was glad that they closed the curtains, but why? She wondered.
Shortly after the doctor left the room, he insisted that her parents come later during the day due to the blood test.
"You said we could see her after!" Pamela, Sam's mother cried.
"I understand Mrs Manson, but I assure you. It's for the best that Sam takes a little time to recover."
Sam's parents knew that the doctor was right, so they quickly said goodbye to Sam and then left for home, they told the doctor that they would be back in a few hours. Before they left, the doctor requested in a polite manner that they don't bring her food since she needs to take another blood test later on.
Meanwhile, in Danny's room, Jazz and Tucker were still with him, Danny had talked about the blood test that he was going to have, but most of all, he talked about Sam.
"I know you want to see her, but you'll just have to wait."
"And, that blood test...what if they find out?"
Jazz thought for a moment, she didn't find it logically possible for them to find ghost DNA in his blood while he was in human form, but then again, Danny hasn't had a blood test since way before he acquired his ghost powers. So Jazz was actually a little unsure, but if she put logic to it, he shouldn't be worried.
"I think you'll be fine, but then again I'm not really sure."
Danny looked down and frowned. "Gee, thanks for making me feel better." He said in sarcasm.
Damn it, I don't know how to skip a whole lot of time to get to the point! XC I used to be good at missing out a lot of things, but now I can't seem to miss a thing. *sigh* Oh well, the next chapter it is for what you all want to hear. Well, at least I hope so that is. Also, sorry for the slight delay with this Chapter... ^^;
