SuperGeorgia, thank you and I'm sure you are grinning your ass off!

DannySamLover20, more to read coming at you.

Hellbreaker, he's talking about doing a live action. I just hope that if they do do it that it doesn't turn out like the DBZ one did. It ruined any other projects for that show for me. Yeah, they can't keep their hands off each other, but that is a good thing. :)

sammansonrepilica, messy is better! :)

Magic713, pattie103, TheParadoxialShift, & BeckyStories, thank you for adding this to your alerts.

The Goth opened her eyes, her amethyst orbs falling on the male standing over the pair glaring. She quickly pulled the sheets up as Danny roused, his movements smooth as he realized they were in the presence of a very pissed off fiance. He moved his body in front of Sam, covering her with his muscular form even though he was technically the outsider in this couple.

"I can't believe you!" Christian shouted, his face turning read as he glared down at the couple before him. Sam was trying to move from behind the halfa, her body covered by a sheet, but Danny wasn't giving an inch as he glared back at the scowling male. "I gave you another chance, Samantha and you go back to- to this bastard!" The halfa didn't blink as he continued to block the Goth. "I can't believe how much of a -" He was stopped, his words halted as Danny let out a growl, a warning to the other male.

"Choose your words because if you even consider calling her what I think you are then you might find yourself in a deep grave," the dark haired male stated. "She is a woman and you will treat her with respect." Sam touched his shoulder, her eyes looking up into the narrowed orbs of her husband to be.

"No, he is right, I fucked up." The halfa looked to her in shock. "I couldn't help it because I still feel something for him, but it's over," she whispered. "I had that one last fling, that last tumble to get Danny out of my system." Danny didn't know what to say and apparently Christian didn't either as his own eyes grew wide in shock. "I don't expect you to take me back, hell, I don't deserve it, but I do want you to know that I never meant to hurt you." Christian almost gave in, in fact he was willing to forgive her and move on, but her next words stopped that. "I don't want to marry you, Christian. I can't because it would be wrong of me to take advantage of you after betraying you in thought and body."

It was so strange to hear her talk like that, to lay it out on the table. Sam was forthright, but she never put her emotions out there like that after hiding them for so long. She had never been accepted by her peers nor her parents for who she was and she had been fine, but she had also been holding it back.

"I'm sorry," she whispered as she pulled the diamond off her finger, the gem a large one that had always felt like a weight on her finger. Handing it over to the stunned male she edged off the bed, her amethyst gaze shuttered as she backed away from the pair of males. She headed into the bathroom, the door shutting softly behind her leaving the two males alone.

"I can't believe she would do this," Christian muttered. "After all that she went through." Danny didn't know what he was talking about, but he didn't have to wonder long as the other male filled him in. "All the pain and loneliness she went through after you crushed her heart and yet she comes back to you for more of it! What is wrong with all the women in the world?!" The halfa's eyes narrowed.

"It's because she knows I made a mistak-"

"You are a mistake!" the other male thundered in anger as he threw the ring on the ground. "Guys like you are always the mistake and yet the female gender keeps making that mistake!" He stepped on the ring, stomped on it like someone trying to put out a cigarette, the sound of the gold and diamond echoing around them. "Good women get hurt and abused, but they still go out for mo-" Danny was growing tired of the other man's trash talking and stood up in all his naked glory.

"Listen here," he spat, his eyes flashing green. "I made a mistake, not Sam and she shouldn't be criticized for wanting to be with the one she cares about!" He stepped closer to the other male, his finger poking Christian in the chest. "I love her and would never want to hurt her, but like most humans I made a mistake of second guessing myself and her and now I have to pay for it!" The halfa was pissed, his emotions swirling around in his heart and head like a tornado ready to destroy all of those in his way. "She is a good woman and has always been a good friend, but I wanted more so I took. I didn't think, I just acted and after that I freaked. We all do that!"

"I wanted more too," came a soft voice from behind Danny. "And I will never regret taking it and giving it." She stepped closer now clothed in a black silk robe. Her bare feet made no sound as she moved over to stand before Christian. "We were never going to make it, my heart was never free." She turned from him and toward Danny. "I need you to go for now and take Jade with you, please. We just need to talk." The halfa nodded and grabbing his clothing disappeared from the room, now the former couple was alone.

"Samantha, how could you? I love you and would have given you all that you desired." Her lips curving into a sad little smile as she sat down, patting a spot next to her and even as he knew it was ending he went ahead and took the chance offered. Before Sam could even comprehend what was happening Christian was on top of her, his weight holding her down as his lips crashed onto hers. Sam struggled to push him off, the marks from her fall earlier still tingling with the forced contact. She let out a whimper, his leg forcing its way between her legs as he held her hands down making the Goth cry out into his mouth. "Don't fight," he whispered harshly against her lips. "You know we belong together."

Before he could get any further with his plan Sam thrust her knee up knocking him in the jewels. With a groan he leaned back, his open palm smacking against her face causing her face to burn. With the smack came another one, this one making her spit up blood.

"Bitch," he spat before smacking her again, the sound egging him on, like an addict who had found their perfect drug he began to hit her. Sam let out a cry, her voice fading with her consciousness. "You sent your lover on his way and now you are at my mercy!" He was so proud and so addicted to the sound of his hand making contact with her face that he failed to notice a shadow under the door.

"No," Sam managed to gasp and with her free hand tried to hit him back, but when she hit him the large male went flying leaving the Goth sprawled out uncomfortably on the bed, her lip split and her cheek bruised beyond recognition, but still alive. Looking at the hand that had hit him she found it hard to believe she had struck him that hard!

"Are you okay?" Sam turned to find Danny, his eyes flashing green before reverting back to ice blue. She nodded while the ghost fighter turned to the man on the floor. "I told you I would dig you a deep grave, but I think I have a better idea." The unconscious male didn't respond of course, but Danny could care less as he went to Sam's side.

A few hours later found Sam bandaged up and Christian in the Ghost Zone learning that if you piss off a halfa you might find yourself in a very unfriendly place. Danny, on the other hand was waiting outside of the room Sam lay in sleeping while at the same time feeding his daughter. The small child seemed to know that something was bothering him and in an attempt to cheer him up grabbed his face before bestowing him with a wet kiss on the cheek. The halfa smiled at his child, his smile making her smile as he began to play with her. Just by looking at his child he felt better. It was like the small girl had a power to make those around her feel relaxed, as if she could absorb all the negativity in the room.

"It would be so funny if you understood all that was around you and yet, for such a young child you are very smart."

"'Hank you, dada," she said with a toothless grin. While Jade was rather mature for her age, her body had yet to catch up as did some of her pronunciations and to the shock of the halfa Jade showed another trait he had yet to notice, her eyes flashing green for two seconds making the halfa question what he had seen. Was his child a halfa as well and did Sam know this? Hunting down his parents who had come over to assist him he handed Jade off before heading back to the Goth's temporary room. His family had questions, he knew this, but unfortunately for them he had no answers.

They didn't seem to mind waiting as they said nothing upon Danny leaving Jade with them to go and see to the unconscious Goth. When the halfa entered the room Sam sleeping deeply, her breathing slow and steady as he sat down next to her. He couldn't stand the look of the blue, black and greenish mark on her pale flesh as he looked at the hand mark on her cheek. He could remember the feeling he had felt as he entered the room to find that...

Flashback

Danny had just gone to get his daughter when he realized that Sam had told him when to bring her back, so getting the baby's stuff together he check on his sleeping daughter to find that she wasn't asleep, her amethyst gaze wide and alert. He greeted her with a smile and her name, but for some reason she was upset, her eyes tearing up at his presence and yet she didn't cry she vocalized her emotions.

"Mama," she stated. "Mommy." When Danny responded, she seemed to become more upset. "Daddy get mommy!" she cried out as she stomped her foot and at first Danny thought she was cranky, but when she kept crying out for him to get Sam he finally realized she was scared. The child was strong, but judging by how agitated she was acting about the halfa getting her mother he could tell it was serious so he had crept back out into the hall only to hear words, angry words being spoken.

"Bitch." Was heard as the halfa grew closer to the door. It sounded like something was struck and then the other male continued his tirade making Danny's shackles rise in fear and anger. "You sent your lover on his way and now you are at my mercy!" Danny was lucky to get back into the room without the monster hearing him as he took him down, the fist that had been raised to strike gone in an instant as Danny knocked him out.

That fear that he had felt intensified when he saw her face and the pain she was in. Her clothing was ripped and there were tears in her eyes even though they hadn't fallen yet.

End of Flashback

"Danny?" the Goth questioned as she opened her eyes and Danny asked her the question that had been burning in his mind.

"Sam, is Jade a half ghost?"
