WOHOO! Look! An update! :D
Anyway, please enjoy!
Disclaimer: *sigh* I don't own the show, Danny Phantom or any of its characters. There, I said it.
Danny's POV
I woke up to the sound of a shrill alarm to my right. I groaned before slamming my hand unto it, shutting its annoying sound off. Once it stopped, I yawed before rubbing my eyes. I was about to get up when I felt a weight on my chest. Looking down, I saw my best friend and longtime love, Sam Manson. I smiled while stoking her hair as the events from last night came flooding back.
FLASHBACK-
"I don't know Danny, I mean, I don't have a job. I have little money left in my account. My parents kind of disowned me, and I don't want to trouble you with supporting the two of us…" Sam said but as soon as the words left her mouth, she instantly regretted it. Her eyes grew wide as she saw Danny's confused expression.
"The two of us? What do you mean?" he asked. Sam sighed. No denying now.
"I'm pregnant, Danny."
END FLASHBACK-
I frowned at that thought. I still couldn't believe that Sam was pregnant. I mean this is Sam we're talking about. She won't let anyone invade her private and personal space. Even Tucker and I. And here she was beside me… pregnant.
"He raped me, Danny."
These words kept playing through my head, and the more they repeated it-selves, the angrier I grew. I swear to God, the moment I find this pathetic excuse of a person, I will truly rip him apart… molecule by molecule.
As I was lost in my train of thought, I felt Sam stir beside me.
"Don't leave, Danny." she mumbled in her sleep as she snuggled into my chest. I smiled and hugged her closer remembering our little night.
FLASHBACK-
"Well, whoever it is, they will not hurt you or the baby. And I'm going to make sure of it." Danny said. Sam smiled gratefully at him.
"Thank you so much, Danny." Sam said.
"No problem, Sam. Now, you better get some rest." Danny said as he helped Sam back into the covers. Just as he was about to retreat to his bedroom, a hand gripped his wrist. He turned around to face Sam.
"Could you stay here… with me?" Sam asked. Danny grinned.
"Sure." He said before lying down beside Sam on the bed. Soon, Sam fell asleep but Danny was still awake. As he watched her sleep, he vowed to himself that he would protect her and take care of her. He would never treat her like that. He would do whatever it takes to get her and the baby out of danger. Even if it means giving up his life for her, he would.
END FLASHBACK-
My eyes landed on her sleeping face. She looks so peaceful… so innocent. But then, this one guy ruined her. All it took was one guy for everything to go downhill for her. My eyes wandered to her abdomen. Even through my shirt, I could see the slight bulging of it.
As crazy it may seem, I felt the sudden urge to be there for this baby. After all, it was still Sam's… and even though I wasn't the biological father, I felt the sudden urge to be a father figure for it.
That's it, I will do whatever it takes to protect Sam and her unborn child and at the same time, try and win her heart. I will never and I mean never treat her like that.
"Danny?"
I looked down to see Sam staring up at me with a sleepy expression. I chuckled before kissing her forehead.
"Well, good morning, Sam. Did you sleep well?" I asked. She smiled before nodding.
"Very."
I chuckled before slowly adjusting her so that I can get up.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"As much as I hate to say this but, I have to go to work today." I said. I really didn't want to leave her alone. Not with her like this.
Sam stared at me with a straight face but I could see fear in her eyes.
"I could stay here and keep you company if you want." I offered. She instantly shook her head as a look of guilt flashed on her face as she sat up from bed.
"No, it's okay. I don't want you getting in trouble because of me." she said. I sighed, she was right. The principal would probably rat me out, and I didn't want to lose my job. But I didn't want to leave Sam alone as well. Hmm… maybe I could bring her along to school!
"How about you come with me to school?" I suggested as I prepared breakfast. I saw her eyes widen slightly from the corner of my eye.
"Danny… I don't know. Do they even allow teachers to just bring in some random people?" she asked. She has a point though. But then again I saw one of my co-workers bring in his pregnant wife. But then, Sam's not my wife, sure she's pregnant but I doubt they'll let her in unless she's my…. That's it!
I turned to Sam with the goofiest expression on my face making her stare at me curiously.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked.
"Well, the school won't let random people in—"
"I think we established that." she said rolling her eyes.
"Wait, let me finish. Anyway, a few weeks before, one of my co-workers brought his pregnant wife with him to school every day." I said smiling.
"They can do that?" she asked. I nodded a grin still on my face.
"As long as she helps around, they're allowing her." I said.
"But, what does that have to do with me?" she asked.
"You can pretend to be my wife." I said. Her eyes widened and I saw a blush forming on her cheeks.
"I don't know, Danny. I mean, wouldn't that be a little awkward for us? And what if people notice that we are faking it?" she said, worry etching in her voice. I rolled my eyes.
"Sam, we've had several fake-out-make-outs when we were teenagers. We also acted as a married couple for a project in our senior year. In other words, faking it will be a piece of cake! Plus you're a great actress." I finished with a smile. She still seemed hesitant. I sighed before facing her again.
"Well, if you don't want to, I will have to leave you alone here…" I said in a sing song voice as I flipped the pancakes.
"Alright fine! I'll go." She said with and annoyed tone. I chuckled at her response and began to prepare the plates.
"That's my girl." I said, making her bush. "Now, eat up."
I placed a plate of pancakes in front of her and she began to eat it like she hasn't been eating for days. I guess that happens when you're pregnant.
We ate and joked around for a while just like what we did when we were teenagers. When we were done, I placed the plates in the sink and walked up to Sam.
"You better get ready." I said.
"But, I don't have any more clothes left." She said gesturing to her outfit. I bit my lip while thinking. I got it! Jazz left some of her clothes here when she came for a visit. Maybe Sam could use those.
"Jazz left some of her clothes with me when she came for a visit. You could use those." I said as I led her upstairs back to the guest room. I opened a drawer and pulled out a baby blue shirt and some white slacks. I also pulled out the blue doll shoes that one of my friends left a week ago. I handed the outfit to Sam and she stared at it with calculating eyes. After a minute, she sighed.
"Well, it's better than nothing." She said before getting into the bathroom. I chuckled before retreating to my own room as well. After showering, I put on a white polo, black slacks and black shoes. I grabbed my bag before proceeding to the living room.
A little while later, Sam came down looking like her usual self except for the clothes… she looks really beautiful in them…
Whoa! Hold your horses there, Daniel. I scolded myself. I shook my head before smiling at Sam when something shiny caught my eye. I looked down and saw my class ring on her left finger. A blush found its way over my face as I stared at her questioningly.
"Well, if we are going to act like a married couple, we need to at least make it look convincing." She said. I grinned and took out a ring that hung on a chain that someone gave me for my birthday and slipped it on.
"Alright. Ready?" I asked as I held out my arm. She rolled her eyes but took it anyway.
"As I'll ever be." She mumbled. And with that, we're off.
Well, that's it! More will come soon, just you wait. ;D Oh! And one more thing, if you notice Danny or Sam or ANY of the DP characters that are in my story that seem to be OOC, please inform me immediately. I know I had said this before but I would like them to be as in character as possible. Anyway, please review!
