I do not own Danny Phantom.
Danny's POV.
"I'm telling you, Tuck! I've never seen Sam so upset before! There has to be a way to keep Vlad away from her. At least until I can do something. I stayed up all night every night for the past week, just so that she would sleep! I'm so tired, I'm seeing purple giraffes everywhere I look!" I paced back and forth in my living room. I listened to Tuck blab on, and on about some new type of security system. I was starting to think it might be a good idea. All I wanted was for Sam to be safe, and stop worrying about Vlad. After he got to her last night… after what he did to her… I swear I will make him pay.
"Danny, did you hear me?" I snapped out of my thoughts. "Yeah, I heard you." "Danny! Help!" I heard Sam scream. "Tuck, I gotta go." I pressed the end button on my cell phone, and ran upstairs. I opened the door to our bedroom. There on the floor, was Sam, screaming in her sleep. I ran over to her, and gently shook her arm. "Sam, wake up. You're just having a bad dream." Sam rolled over and threw a pillow at me. "No! Don't touch me! Danny, do something!" I got used to the screaming, but I know that she was seeing the memory of what happened to her nearly a week ago. "Sam, wake up." I shook her again. "Danny! Help me!" I sighed, and ran down stairs.
"Oh my god! They're doing cosmetic testing on the purple giraffes!" I heard Sam yell, as she limped into the living room. "What? Where? We need to stop them!" I gave a weak chuckle. "Wow. Is that the only way I can wake you up from a nightmare? So far it's worked every day this week." Sam's cheeks turned red, as she glared at me. "Did you really just say purple giraffes?" I nodded. "I've been seeing them all week." I tried to seem as happy as I usually am, but after what Vlad did… it just didn't seem possible. Sam kept glancing around the room, and carefully sat down on the sofa, trying not to touch her bruises.
Dani walked into the living room in her pj's. She looked as tired as I was. "Dani, go back to your room for a few minutes. I need to talk to Sam. In private." Dani grumbled. "Good morning to you too, grumpy. Yell when you're done talking." I nodded, and Dani went back upstairs. I looked at Sam. "You okay, Sam?" She just glared at me again. "Of course I'm not okay! Look at me! I'm covered in bruises, my right arm is broken, and I took a trip to the hospital! All in one week! Why do bad things always happen to the goth?"
I looked down at my sneakers. "It's my fault. If I didn't have these stupid ghost powers, none of this would've happened." I looked back up to Sam. It hurt me when I looked at her face. Bruises covered her left cheek, and her forehead. Her lower lip was cut. After Vlad beat her, she began wearing long-sleeve shirts, and sweats. She said it was just because I felt bad when I saw the bruises covering her arms and legs, and she didn't want me to beat myself up over it. She shook her head. "Danny, it isn't your fault. It's just…" I cut her off. "I know he hurt you, and I'm going to make him pay for it." She glared at me.
"Danny, would you shut up for a minute? There is something seriously wrong with me! I felt like something about me was wrong before, but now I know there is something wrong with me." I kneeled on the floor in front of her, and looked her in the eye. "What is it?" Sam stood up, and grabbed my hands. "Danny, you love me right?" What kind of question was that? "Sam, I love you more than anything else in the world." "Then promise you won't hate me." I sighed. "Sam, I could never hate you." She took a deep breath, and fell through the floor. Wait, fell through the floor? She became intangible? What the hell is going on? She appeared in front of me. "Err, Sam. How did you do that?" "I don't know. I told you there was something wrong with me, but I wasn't talking about that!" She sniffled. "I don't know how to tell you this, but…" her voice trailed off. I followed her gaze, which fell to the floor. "What?" Tears began to fall from her eyes. "Sam, please tell me?" She took another deep breath. "I'm pregnant." Did she just say what I think she said? Everything went black.
Sam's POV.
I slapped my forehead. What was I thinking? Telling him something like that without making him sit down first… yeah, great idea. "Damn." I grabbed Danny's hand, and tried to pull him onto the couch. "Dammit, Danny! How much do you weigh?" I remembered Danielle was upstairs. "Danielle! Could you come down here for a minute?" Within a few seconds, she was back in the living room. "Err, what happened to Danny?" Danielle was scratching the top of her head. "I'll tell you later. Help me get him upstairs, please." "Sure thing, Sam." Danielle picked up Danny, and phased him into the bedroom.
Danny's POV.
I woke up in my bed. Dani and Sam were staring at me. I smiled, and scratched my head. "I fainted didn't I?" Sam nodded. I looked over to Dani. "Why did you faint?" I glanced to Sam, then back to Dani. "I'll tell you later. Could you give me another minute with Sam?" She rolled her eyes, and phased through the floor. I looked back to Sam, who was sitting at the end of the bed. "Did you really say what I thought you said?" She nodded. "And after what happened with Vlad… is it okay?" Sam nodded again. A smile spread across my face. "I'm going to be a dad? This is awesome!"
Sam smiled, and sat beside me. "I can't believe you fainted!" I laughed. "I can't believe you're pregnant! How far are you?" "About six weeks." "When did you find out?" "Yesterday. But I want to know why I have ghost powers!" I gave a weak chuckle. "Yeah, we're probably gonna need to talk to Jazz about that. I have no idea what the hell is going on." Sam kissed my cheek. "You really want to be a dad then?" I nodded. "Of course I do! It is mine, right?" She punched my shoulder. "Of course it is! Do you really think I'd cheat on you?" I put my hands up in defense. "No, no. I was just joking." "Sure you were. Should we tell Danielle?" I shrugged. "I don't know. It's your decision. But we will need to tell Jazz."
Sam sighed. "Yeah, I know. But that also means Tucker will know." I started playing with her ring. "Sam, I know we have a long time to think about this… but could I help pick a name?" I looked over and saw her try to cover a giggle. She put her left hand over her abdomen. "This is the child of Danny Phantom. I would love it if you would help me pick a name."
