Onward to the new chapter and please, enjoy!

The restaurant was more of a dark theme, but Daniel likes it this way. Or, so the familiar Daniel I knew likes this place. The old Daniel refused to accept anything and it was rather difficult to avoid his…glares. I felt like losing again and couldn't hold onto him to make him feel secured.

Daniel has never changed to order what he pleases, but I did warn him to lay off the coffee and he asked why.

"It is because you cannot stomach it and the coffee triggers your morning sickness." I confessed to him.

He was still in shocked, but he remained quiet about it. He saw no fits to argue and he was confused. There were no reasons to blame him in his position of a huge memory loss. Why the universe couldn't leave us alone when we had enough stress to deal with?

"So…how did this…baby happen?" The little badger asked.

I smiled, "We made love, of course."

He pulled down a bit from his seat and I realized he wasn't comfortable. It was all the before truce Daniel would have behaved. I sighed and should have explained from the beginning. Why am I being a fool?

"I apologize. Perhaps I should say that when we made the truce, it took a while to gain each other's trust. A few months later, you asked me why I haven't asked your mother out and I told you I lost interests in her."

"When did you lose interests in her? Wasn't she…your obsession?"

I chuckled, "You asked me after I said that. I said that after trying for so long, she doesn't sparks my interests as she did in college. She was the only girl who stood out for my heart."

He blinked at me, "And how did we end up dating? Seriously, what was wrong with me?" He frowned.

Did he feel afraid for our love? He doesn't remember a thing and he probably suspected today to be Labor Day. I felt terrible for him to struggle, especially when he has no clue of the baby.

"You teased me about being gay, but somehow, I enjoyed the idea. I teased back if you were one and you did not answer right away. You blushed and I leaned in to steal a kiss from you. I left and you visited me a week later to demand my explanation of that kiss. You were demanding that we try something and I took you out on our first date. We found a lot in common and at the end of the date, I claimed you as mine as I kissed you." I refrained myself from over smiling, so it wouldn't have frighten him.

He nodded slowly and looked at me as if I had ecto acne all over again. I knew I was feeling fine, but he's the one who needs help the most.

"And how is the baby possible?"

I wanted to rub the bump, but I couldn't yet, "Ghosts are genderless, yet, the core we have can create the womb during the love making scene. The ghosts' bodies are able to adjust for the growing baby. However, symptoms are commonly similar to humans' pregnancy and ghosts' pregnancy has more signs. However, I know memory loss isn't one of them."

He frowned at me even more. He was displeased to hear the result. Was he hoping it was because of his pregnancy? I had to learn how he lost his memories, but how? It would not be simple as I began to fathom onto the plan. I had to get him to focus on one memory at a time and see if he can recall something, anything, and work from there.

"So, why haven't I moved into your house?" The badger asked.

I chuckled, "You never told me why, but you were stubborn to stay right at home. I still do not know why you do not move into our home. I even willed it to you that I give you a bedroom of your own before joining into ours."

The blue eyes nodded, "So…where…did we do it?"

My brow rose, "Your room. Your sister was out working late, your parents went out to grocery shop, and your friends were dealing with their families. You wanted to spend some time with me and at your house. Something about just in case a ghost thinks to sneak out with your portal." My eyes rolled, "But, the condom did break and we did not noticed until the end, but we didn't think of pregnancy was possible for either of us."

He nodded and slowly grasped the idea around him. His hands have not dared to leave the table and I hated to see him suffer like this. There was nothing wrong with feeling the baby of ours. I pulled me down to my side, grabbed his hands, and placed it on the baby bump. His eyes widened as a pair of large blue sapphire eyes would revealed.

Daniel slowly breathed as if he was taking in pain one second at a time. His eyes revealed such exposed emotions, knowing there is a baby moving in within his touch, and kicking him. It was almost the same emotion he held when he found out he was pregnant. He was shocked, amazed, and happy. However, this Daniel does not see it in happiness. He was curious, shocked, confused, and struggling to understand. All at the same time, he was afraid. My arms wrapped around him to comfort him, my hands held his to feel the kicking as well, and did not dare to attempt to speak at this moment. Daniel needed time.

"…did we find out the baby's gender yet?"

I smiled, "Your mother is planning to do that tonight with you since you are now sixteen weeks."

The blue eyes expose fears and it would be his first time. I could not blame him at all and wished to help him in every way I can. It had to be too overwhelming for him to sink in and all I had to do is give him comfort.

"I-er, do my parents know about the relationship?"

I nodded, "Yes, your mother took a while to accept it. She ruled it after finding out that ghosts don't have genders based on her discovery. Your father…he was happy that you're happy and threatened to stuff me in a thermos for the rest of my afterlife if I hurt you."

He snorted to laugh it off, but at least he's still the same person I knew. At least he opened up to me before he lost his memories. I shouldn't have pushed too much to tell, but I will make sure it would have had been taken slowly and perhaps food would be a great reminder. I recalled a food he did not once like and he tried it without realizing it beforehand.

"So, I guess…I have been happy with you. How about the Phantom team? How did they react…with us together?"

I hummed, "Samantha did not take it light and threatens…violently at me if you were ever betrayed, hurt, dumped, abandon, used, abused, and several other things she has pointed out. Tucker chatted with you privately and you convinced him on how you felt. He understood because of the way he feels with someone particular," I could not rush the idea of his sister dating his best friend. It may have freaked him out a little too soon, "And accepted the idea. He trusted you, but he warned me…just with the thermos. As for your sister, she observed me the entire time and noticed the way we bonded. She didn't speak her mind until a couple of weeks later and saw no reasons to break us up." The girl is quite bright for her age.

He was beginning to be in his deep thoughts like typical hero would be. I know he hates stereotypes and I tried to refrain from that. It's not simple as he thought it to be, but this is his Phantom Hero would be like. Right now, there wasn't a choice to lie or do anything to rush him.

"I guessed they would react that way. Sam is too easy and Tucker, I guess he would have trouble believing it and thinks I'm messed up. Jazz…I have no idea other than overly protective sister." He shrugged.

I chuckled, "Jasmine trusts her knowledge, especially in psychology. I believe she is graduating in a week."

His blue eyes widened and he had no idea she was graduating early. I felt terrible for him, not knowing what he had missed, and I was shoving it all too much at him.

"She's graduating in a week?" His breathing rapidly picked up, "D-did I buy her something to congratulate her?"

I soothed his arms, "Yes, you bought her a car out of your saving you have earned from here. You're…well, one of their chefs."

He blinked at me with his surprised and his breathing returned to regular pattern once more. This pleased me he wasn't stressing out anymore and I could not have that when he is pregnant. He needed to be stress free or we could lose the baby.

"I-she-got a car? From me here? W-what kind of pay check am I getting here?" Daniel frowned.

His reaction amused me, "This is my restaurant, and you worked here for a thousand an hour. You made up to eight hours a week and it was the only way to give you that money. Plus, you have regular customers that enjoyed your cooking and requested you to their parties when they book it here."

Daniel might not recall the times he was cooking for me that day and how I was fascinated by his cooking style. He was a naturalist at cooking and couldn't believe it. At the moment, he was calculating on his account.

"I must have brought it after a month worth earning and a good type of a car. Ugh, please tell me I have money left after that?" He frowned.

My head shook, "You always have tips included, about a hundred a day at least. You had that car arranged transported to your sister on the day she moves out of that dormitory."

He breathed to take this all in and I was rushing this too much for him. The waitress gave us our breakfast and left us alone. She does not have to tell me how much or give me the bill since I am the owner of the restaurant. Daniel kept one hand on his stomach and the other hand to help feed himself. I gave him some space and helped myself for breakfast. It was difficult to expect this as a promising date and it wasn't exciting as I wished to be.

Right now, he had to know that I couldn't give away every little details that happened. He needed to recall what happened on his own and I was hoping one of his best friend dating his sister would help bring something. Daniel was extremely protective of his sister and stood guarded with the young boy, but he knew he couldn't take his sister's happiness away from her. It was rather interesting to see how he reacts.

Daniel was hungrier than usual and that's because he does not realize he is currently four months. Well, he knows he is, but he doesn't realizes too much of the impact of his body.

"Does the baby kick a lot?" He set his cup down.

I picked up a napkin and brushed my lips a bit, "Mostly when you touch the bump or when I do. It knows when we're there and it is definitely an excitement baby for us. I…I will help you through this again anyway. If you feel something strange, I may know what to do."

My little badger nodded and returned to eating his breakfast. His hand rotated where the baby is in him. He was relaxing and he zoned out of the world for a little while. I believed I caught his smiling for the baby and it was nice to see that again. It's hard to not be the person I have been for the past ten months. For now, I had to come up a simple plan to get him to spend the entire day with me and see if I could test out a chance of returning his memories.

However, the memory loss is unknown source and he does not know anything besides the day he expected to be. Does this means I have this all possible before the baby is born? To make him happy again? Should I show him a side of me he would fall in love with me again? Would he be upset? To be quite the truth, would he be willing?

That was the drastic question I placed myself into. Daniel and our newborn are too important to lose and I rather give up everything to keep them to myself.

"Daniel," I called his attention, "I think we should head over to the mansion of mine and there is a lot to get you simply catch you up before your mother wants to use sonogram on you tonight."

He nodded, "Yeah…I…er, don't want anyone to think I have changed or lost my memories." He sighed.

I slid down and rested my arm around his shoulders, "It will be fine, badger dear. This is something you did not control or expect to happen."

His hands rotated and he seemed bored, yet, mixed of all the wild emotions, "I…be honest, how am I with you in the relationship?"

To me, it hurts to see him struggle. He went through too much to go through as it is and I may be one of the people that know him too well. Daniel is my world and he is retaining his past to bring the person he recognizes for himself.

"Actually, you are happy. You stood your ground to stay with your parents until a certain age you mentioned to me. Most of the times, you want the normal things in life…well, except for the pregnancy. You held high expectation of my behavior, especially when we are not apart. You're open to me when you wish to be," I mentally chuckled when I tried to see if he would tell me about the experiences he still traumatize over, "And you remained by your morals at your upmost of our relationship. Other than that, you're comfortably happy to be with me."

The blue eyes blinked at me as if he was not bought by my convincing words. Did he thinks I made it too much of his fantasy? It was honesty. Perhaps he's sinking the information into him slowly without overboard with this. He should have space and I should give him knowledge to know what he had missed for a while.

"Did…er, have I said the four letter word?" Instead, he's seeking for my truth.

I smiled, "Yes, five months ago. It took a while and I chose not to rush you. You demanded that I come over for dinner like a good boyfriend and that you stay to spend time with you. You were making the dinner night relaxing as ever and said it when we were finally alone." It hurts that I couldn't give him my affectionate love without being pushed away because he's the former enemy.

He sighed and saw it as he fit to be. He grunted and it dawned on me that the baby kicked powerfully to prove it otherwise.

"This baby is very strong," Daniel commented, "And…it is a proof of erm, our love I guess. But, I don't want my family to figure out why I am so different and…I'm not used to this. So, um, help me?" He held his breathe, figuratively that is.

I softly grinned, "Of course, I will be there with you on every step of the way. I promised you that when we found out. I told you that I am not a man who will walk away to have an only chance to have a child. I want our child and I want you, especially." I pulled him into my arms, "I think we should head to our mansion and I think there's something that might help you remember something."

He nodded and believed me. In my mind, I was hoping this might help us out or trigger something in his brain cells. There was no way his neuron cells would have abandon him for no apparent reasons. Something happened and I intended to find out before the others. By then, Daniel will have no reasons to fret over anything.

Next chapter will be up either Saturday or Sunday.
