Sam fell back as she shoved at the halfa's muscular chest, her eyes wide in disbelief and not just because he had kissed her, but the spark she had thought long dead was back. Shaking her head as him she took another step back, her hands falling from his chest.

"I-I told you that we are through and there is nothing that can change that!" She turned from him and heading for the door opened it to allow the halfa to leave. "I wanted this to be civil and you want to make it difficult!" He could tell by her tone that she was getting frustrated with him and as much as he wanted to back off he didn't think he could this time.

"I'm not going anywhere, Sam, not now and not ever!" The Goth looked at him as if he had grown a second head, well or something she hadn't expected to happen. "I mean it. I am sorry for what I said, but what did you expect me to say?" Now her eyes narrowed, several responses going through her head, but she didn't say the first one, no she said a lot more than that as Jade woke up behind Danny. Unfortunately neither parent noticed as the Goth laid into him.

"Maybe, I like you, but I need to think about this!" she spat angrily. "Not, this was a mistake!" A shadow appeared in the doorway as Sam stomped over to him. "Saying it's a mistake off the bat means you instantly thought that so it must be the fucking truth! Let me give you one word of advice, Daniel Fenton, before you kiss and fuck a girl stop and think if you are good enough!" Her finger was in his chest at this point, but before she could do bodily to the halfa before her the shadow stepped forward. "I can't believe I even loved you EVER! I hate you Danny! I hate you!" As she was pulled back, the shadow turned her toward them letting the Goth fight them now as Danny watched.

"Samantha, calm down," came Christian's voice as he held her close, his dark eyes looking at the rather torn halfa. "I think you need to leave, Mr. Phantom as you have caused her enough pain." The halfa looked like he wanted to say something, but when no sounds came from his voicebox he closed his mouth and walked out. "If you want, hon, I can deal with him from now on." She nodded against his chest before pulling back, her eyes red with tears. "Go lay down and I will take care of everything from here on in."

The raven haired woman smiled and planting a chaste kiss on his lips headed for the bedroom and past where her daughter watched her strangely. Even her daughter wasn't enough to make the Goth smile. Jade was Danny as Danny was Jade. She would forever be with the one that broke her heart and it was both their fault.

Na, na na na...na na na na na na...

She could remember that day, that moment she had given into her urge to be with the one man she considered her other half. Her halfa. It made her chuckle as she thought of that again while at the same time she felt the urge to cry. Walking down the hall she found herself in the room she had made for her child, the green the same color of Danny's ghost orbs mixed with the ice blue of his human half. She loved both halves and at the same time she loved him as the single person he was. Walking into the room she sighed.

Closing the door she walked over to the rocker, the one that had been given to her by her loving grandmother. Sitting in it she looked around the room she had painted for Jade, her special little girl. She hadn't really planned on staying away for this long, but it had happened.

Na, na na na...na na na na na na...

It had started out as an escape from all that she shouldn't have wanted to escape from... friends and the halfa that had left her moments after making love together. They hadn't been drunk or anything so she couldn't blame it on that, no, she had just been stupid in thinking that Danny would want anything like that from her.

"Stupid," she muttered looking around the Ghost Zone she had painted on the walls around her. Stupid and naive. She never thought things through with Danny, no, he made her react and then regret came afterward. She had been doing that with him for all of time and she never seemed to learn from it.

She had made the same mistake again and this time she was separating herself from the halfa who had meant the world to her. He hadn't been regretful as they had laid in her room touching and kissing, nor had he been regretful when he had entered her and came in her. No, the halfa had told her how he felt with that and with some words of romantic proportions. He had told her that he had dreamed of this, that he had yearned to feel her skin and she had told him of her love, the undying love she had felt for him.

I just wanna be with you,

She had laid her heart bare and in the end as they lay there sweating and panting he had looked at her, his ice blue eyes registering shock and another underlying emotion that she had been unable to figure out before it was gone. He had pushed himself off of her and rushed to grab his clothing. She had grabbed the blanket at the same time tears had burned her eyes and as her heart clenched in pain.

This was a mistake. I'm sorry.

Those words would forever be there... Always haunting her as his eyes did at that moment. That one moment ruined their friendship, ruined her respect for him and for herself. She had said nothing, her throat so closed up that she didn't think she could breath, but she held her panic at bay as she watched him exit, his last words ringing in her ears.

This was a mistake... I'm sorry...

"No, I'm sorry," she muttered. "Sorry I let my emotions rule me and my heart to guide me." Closing her eyes she allowed tears to fall from her eyes and slide down her pale cheeks. "Never again. My emotions have no rule in my life."

Danny slammed his fist into a wall, a frustrated growl escaping his throat. His white wall broke open, the drywall no match for his ghost powers. As it crumbled at his feet he punched another hole next to it, his eyes narrowed as he imagined the face of Christian staring back at him.

"I think you need to leave, Phantom," Danny mocked in a tone matching the other male's own voice. "You've caused her enough pain!" He punched again, another hole marring the wall before him. He was so pissed off and even though he was made at the situation he was mad at himself too. He had made a mistake, but when they had finished making love he had looked at her and worry had set in. He cared too much for his closest friend to allow them to ruin their relationship, but he had done it anyway. He had allowed his body and heart to take the next step, one that would change what the pair had.

When he had looked into those amethyst orbs filled with love he had found a fear of hurting her squeeze his heart and he had done what he thought was best. He pulled away from her, distancing himself, but those words that had left his mouth had been mistakes in themselves, but they were the only words that had come to mind. Shaking his head he turned from the hole ridden wall, his ice blue eyes falling on a picture that sat on the wall opposite of him. It was of them at the park just moments before their intimate moment.

"Why did I do it?" Then he remembered what she had said that moment he had stepped back into her life after hunting for her months later. He had thought that if he gave her time to realize that he was right and that the change in their relationship was wrong that she would have come to him instead, but no she hadn't. He had come to find out from Tucker months later that she had moved, but before that had been the letter... The letter about his fatherhood to Sam's child... his child. "How was I supposed to know that our one time together would produce a child?"

That wasn't the whole picture though and he knew that wasn't it. Jade was only part of it. Sam was the other half and there was no way he was going to have one without the other! Heading for the shower, a place where he found he could think clearly and he would need to think about how he was to prove that Sam belonged to him and only him.

The next few days Danny stayed away, his plan already in motion while Sam began to worry about the missing halfa. She had worried that upon turning her back on him that he was turning his back on Jade and that made her mad. She shuffled that morning at five with her rather pissed off child, the raven haired child mad at not having seen her father. How would Sam know that? Because what her daughter had begun saying.

"Dada!" the small child whimpered in sadness as she squirmed in her mother's arms. "DADA!" she screamed loudly making the Goth grimace. Sam tried to calm her, the child's normal habits thrown into turmoil with the absence of her father.

"He's not coming," she whispered to her child and Jade began to fight her mother, her little chubby arms slamming onto her mother's shoulders that had begun to tremble. "He's gone." That was all she knew. The man that had come into her life, trashed it, and then had walked out was doing the same thing to their child! A growl escaped Sam's lips as she headed down the lighted hall, her steps quick and angry. Her daughter continued to whimper, the one word escaping her puckered lips dada over and over.

Grabbing the phone she remembered that she had told Christian that she wouldn't be having anything to do with the halfa, but at the same time her daughter came first and she needed to have her father. Dialing his number she waited as the ringing on the other end continued. As it did for several long seconds she found herself getting more and more irritated and worried at the same time. Danny never failed to answer his phone... EVER!

"Fuck!" she hissed as she slammed the phone down, her heart thudding so quickly she was afraid it would come bursting out of her chest while at the same time her daughter was still fighting her, her cries getting ever louder. Just when Sam felt her own tears welling in her eyes there was a knock at the door. Sam rushed quickly to open it, hoping that it was the halfa, but upon opening the door found Christian, his dark gaze landing on the broken family before him. He attempted to take the screaming child only to find himself hit by the small fist as Jade screamed her anger.

"Not dada! Not dada!" At first the man stiffened, but Sam failed to notice as tears blurred her vision as her child screamed bloody murder and then something wonderful happened. The air grew chilly and Danny appeared behind the Goth, his green eyes taking in his child as she screamed while Sam stood with her back to him, her shoulders shaking and Christian... that man looked lost and yet there was something else in those dark depth as he looked at the halfa. Jade was the one that looked the happiest to see him as she reached out for him. The halfa moved toward her, pass the Goth who refused to meet his gaze as he took their child from the other male's arms.

Danny disappeared and the air grew warm again, not that Sam kept the house at a comfortable 60 degrees, but Danny always made it colder, a chill that the Goth found comforting. She looked to the male before her and found no words that could escape her lips at the look on his face. He looked... betrayed.

"Samantha?" he questioned making her meet his gaze. "You love him, don't you?"
