Here it is, the last chapter before the epilogue. I hope this clears up some of the confusion from the previous chapter.
Sam's POV.
Raven! I opened my eyes. The blinding light from the sun lighted the room. I put a hand to my forehead, and felt something slightly tugging at my hand. I let my eyes adjust to the light, and I noticed that I was connected to wires and tubes. "Where am I?" I lightly pushed myself, and sat up. I looked around the room. The walls were off-white, and the floor was covered in grey tiles. Am I in a hospital? I looked at my hands. There was an IV in my left hand, while my right hand was free. I took a quick glance at the rest of myself. I was wearing a hospital gown, and there were electrodes stuck to my chest. My head started pounding, and I lifted my right hand to hold it. There was a bandage around my head. I felt around it, and stopped at the base of my neck. When I pulled my hand away, there was a very small amount of blood on my fingertips. "Ow…" I felt something move beside me, and I looked down.
Danny was sleeping, and his head was resting beside me. He blinked, and lifted his head. A smile spread across his face. "Sam! You're awake!" I blinked a few times. I poked his cheek. "Sam, why are you poking me?" I continued to blink. "You're… different…" I poked him again. Danny scratched his head. "Different? How?" I shrugged. "I don't really know… you look… fifteen again." Danny chuckled. "Sam, I am fifteen. So are you." So it was a dream? I'm not getting married to Danny? I'm not pregnant? So… Raven was never real… I sighed. "What happened? Why am I in the hospital?" Danny frowned. "Well… Vlad came back and… shot you… in the head…" I stared at him. "Again? Didn't that happen two years ago?"
Danny chuckled. "When I woke up the other day, I thought the same thing. After the shock and smoke inhalation, I fell asleep and created an alternate reality in my subconscious." I lowered my head. "So… everything I thought was real… it was all basically a dream?" Danny nodded. We sat in silence for a few minutes before either of us spoke. Danny grabbed my hand. "I wish that part of my dream was real…" I looked back at him. "What was your dream about?" Danny let go of my hand and stood up. "I'll tell you later. First I need to let someone know you're awake." I smiled. "Okay." Danny left the room. I sat in silence. It was all a dream. My head snapped up. What if… what if I saw part of my future?
There was a light knock on the door. "Miss Manson, are you awake?" A woman's voice asked from the other side. "Yes." The door opened, revealing… "Mrs. Fenton? What are you doing here?" She smiled. "Remember? I stopped ghost hunting after Danny revealed his secret. This is my eighth day as a health care assistant." Mrs. Fenton lifted a clipboard. "So, how are you feeling?" I shrugged. "Not bad, but my head is killing me." She nodded, and jotted something down. "Any nausea or fatigue?" I slowly shook my head. "Not really. Where's Danny?" Mrs. Fenton wrote something down, then she looked back to me. "Sorry Sam. During patient evaluations, no one else can be present in the room. Even if it's a boyfriend." My face flushed.
"Sam…" Mrs. Fenton put the clipboard down, and sat beside me. "You're lucky to be awake, you know." I tilted my head slightly. "What do you mean?" She sighed. "Well… during your surgery… the surgeon observed that the bullet somehow managed to wedge itself extremely close to the medulla oblongata. If it were any closer, you would be a ghost right now." I glared at her. She put her hands up in front of her. "Right. Not the best time for a ghost joke, sorry. Anyway, the other doctors said that it would be a miracle if you woke up after six months… but forty-eight hours? You're a legend around here, just like Danny." I smirked. "Great. Now I'm a legend for nearly dying." Mrs. Fenton rolled her eyes, then smiled. "Sam?" I moved around to get a little more comfortable. "Yeah?" I turned my attention back to her. "Who's Raven?" I could've died right on the spot. I snorted, and gave a nervous laugh. "Raven? I don't know a Raven. I know there are birds called ravens, but I don't know anyone named Raven." I cleared my throat. "Why do you ask?" She smirked. "Danny said he heard you call for someone named Raven in your sleep. He said he thought you might have had the same dream as him." I shrugged. "I guess it's possible." She nodded. "Anyway, I'd better be going. There will be someone coming in later to do some more evaluations, but for now you need to rest. I'm limiting your visitors to one at a time." She got up, and picked up the clipboard as walked to the door. She flipped through a few pages on it. "Mrs. Fenton, could you send Danny back in here?" She nodded before she disappeared through the door.
I stared at the ceiling, until I heard the door creak open. I smiled when Danny walked through the door, and he shut it behind him. "You didn't really leave, did you?" I asked him. Danny smiled and shrugged. "I left, told my mom you're awake, and stood right there." He pointed beside the water cooler in my room. I rolled my eyes at him. "Of course you did. So… you still need to tell me what your dream was about… then I'll tell you what mine was about."
Danny scratched his head, and sat in the chair beside my bed. "Well… I dreamed that Vlad killed you, and for two years I tried to bring you back. Your parents blamed me for you death, and moved. The entire town, besides my family and Tuck, hated me. Then I found a way to bring you back to life. So I brought you back, and convinced you to stay at my house for a week." Danny looked at me, and I nodded for him to continue. "Well… I told you that your parents left, and invited you to live with me… and then… I… I asked you to marry me. You said yes… and then… Vlad came back and attacked you. A little while after the attack, you told me…" I stared at him with wide eyes.
He's describing my dream! This is just like when Nocturne put the entire town to sleep!
"I told you that I was seven weeks pregnant…" I finished his sentence. Danny's head shot up. "How did you know?" I grabbed his hand. "I had the same dream. That's why I yelled for Raven in my sleep. In my dream she was-" Danny smiled. "Our daughter." He finished my sentence, and I nodded. "That's why I wasn't very happy when I woke up. She was just a dream." I sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "Danny, do you think it really was just a dream?" I looked back to him, and he tilted his head like a confused puppy. "What do you mean?" I shrugged. "I don't know. Do you think that… maybe we saw part of our future?" Danny smiled at me. "Well, maybe part of it. I kind of like the idea of marrying you, and having a daughter." I blushed.
"Sam, I love you. I love you more than life itself. I know this probably isn't the best time, but…" Danny reached into his pocket, and pulled out the same ring from my dream. "I can't imagine my life without you. You are my entire world. Samantha Elizabeth Manson, the day we both turn eighteen, will you marry me?" I smiled and nodded. "Of course I will!" I had to hug him with my right arm, since my left was hooked up to numerous wires and tubes. "I love you Danny." Danny smiled, and whispered in my ear. "I love you more." I smiled, and leaned in to kiss him. As soon as our lips touched, I felt sparks fly.
A/N: It's almost over :'( I'm still not sure if I should write a sequel or not… I'll think about it after the epilogue is done. And yea, Danny and Sam had the same dream about an alternate reality (each in their own POV of course). So… almost none of that happened. Sorry for messing with your mind :(
