You know what I do to make another chapter? I read the last sentence I wrote of the last chapter and that should give me an idea. I of course gave me an idea for chapter 23. ^^ So, the last few chapters have been brutal for Sam haven't they? I hope she feels better somehow, but there's one thing she wouldn't be able to do. She can't avoid the pain of the half ghost baby…hey, that gave me another great idea! :D

Well, better get on with the story before I keep on blabbering on about other random stuff! XD

Danny Phantom © Butch Hartman

Sam almost felt as if she was getting a migraine, there were too many things being said at once. Danny's parents being all cheery for Danny and her parents lecturing her about marriage and having a family. She needed a break from everything, now. She just wanted to leave the room and forget everything, the wedding, her parents, and the baby.

She didn't know how long the baby was going to stay within her, she didn't know whether the wedding was before or after she had the baby and she had no idea how to make her parents agree that her life was just fine the way it was.

After being forced out of his mother's tight loving hugs, Danny went over to reason with Sam's parents.

"Excuse me Mr and Mrs Manson, but maybe Sam has a point. She is happy the way she is and she doesn't want you to upset her life. All she's asking is for you two to be happy for what she had decided to do with her life. And after all, you two are going to be grandparents.

Tears filled Mrs Manson's eyes, but then rage returned.

"Young man, get out of her house this instant!"

Maddie gasped. "No one talks that way to my baby!" she threatened while walking up to her.

"Well, look what he did to my daughter! He made her carry a child!"

Danny was also willing to not take much more of this, even though he was receiving more happiness than Sam was it still hurt him too.

"Alright, that's it!"

Both parents stopped arguing and looked at Danny with caution.

"Can't you all just accept that Sam and I are getting married and that she's going to have a baby that we didn't even plan!?"

The four parents gasped with shock and hurt.

Mrs Manson was more shocked than the rest of the parents. "You raped my daughter!?"

"Danny! Is this true?" Maddie asked sounding worried and upset.

Danny looked down and closed his eyes with guilt. "Yes. Yes it is mum."

Both Jack and Maddie were filling up with sadness and regret, but Sam's parents were filling up with anger and fury.

"That's it! You are never marrying my daughter! I will never give her to you!" Mr Manson declared.

Sam started to cry, all this stress was making her feel worse by the second. She couldn't handle it anymore; she screamed and then ran into her room while also locking the door behind her.

Sam covered her head with her red pillow, it got drenched from all the tears of stress coming from her beautiful lilac eyes. You could hear her sobbing from outside the door, she was just that upset about everything that was going on.

Not long later, Danny knocked on the door. "Sam? Are you okay?"

Sam sniffled then removed the pillow from her head. "Does it sound like I'm happy!?"

"Sam, please let me come in."

"The door's unlocked idiot." She exclaimed in a sarcastic tone.

Danny peeked and saw her future bride on the bed in tears and in anger. He sat down next to her to comfort her. Sam sat up and hugged her fiancé tightly and softly, she then grabbed another tissue to wipe off her running mascara.

"Sam look, I know you're underneath a lot of pressure, like the baby, the marriage and your parents. I'm in a lot of stress too you know? It took me almost a month to figure out that I knocked you up in the first place."

Sam felt upset and angry by this point, she had only just realised that Danny was the whole cause of this mess. She looked down in sadness; Danny could see that she wasn't at all happy about how everything was going. Sam later looked up at Danny and her face immediately turned from sadness to anger and rage.

"You! This is your entire fault!"

"What?! Sam , I didn't even know what was going on that time!"

"Yeah, because you were drunk!" she snapped.

"Please, just calm down."

"I can't calm down you moron! I just realised that you're the whole cause of all this! You got me knocked up, and you got me engaged! And at the same time, you were drunk when you did it with me!"

"I wasn't drunk!" Danny yelled sounding impatient and furious. "I was controlled."

Meanwhile, at the centre of the ghost zone was a small castle which contained all the dark shadows who had been spying on Danny from the first time he had ever received his ghost powers.

The leader didn't look too pleased, the plan wasn't working the way that they wanted it to.

"You morons, they're fighting! They should be discussing wedding plans!"

"Well gee leader, I guess you brilliant plan failed." A dark shadow complained.

"Yeah, why don't you just steal her when he's not around?" Another dark shadow asked.

"I am waiting for the right time to steal her from him. It's only a matter of time before the baby is born."

The leader thought quickly and hard, he knew that interrupting the wedding would cause for all the guests to take action. He only wanted Danny Phantom so he could destroy the ghost hybrid for good. He planned for Danny to make Sam pregnant and then that would cause to move up the wedding so that Sam isn't in labour during the reception or having a baby crying while the couple are trying to say their vows.

"Hmm, how about we take Sam before she gives birth? Like, not as soon as she gives birth but like when she's like a week near or something?" A dark shadow suggested to the leader.

"You know, that's actually not a bad idea. She's underneath a lot of stress right now but when it comes to having a baby and being kidnapped, she'll wish that she had never existed!"

All the dark shadows shared an evil laugh with each other. But at that same time, Sam's parents were knocking urgently on her door as well as Danny's parents.

"Samantha! Let your parents in this instant!" Her father demanded.

"Yeah, some of us don't know where the bathroom is!" Jack exclaimed.

Sam sniffled. "It's down the hallway to your right!" she yelled so he could hear.

"Thanks Sam!"

Jack ran off while Maddie looked in humiliation and sadness. This wasn't the right time to do that sort of thing but you have to go when you have to go.

"Danny, please let us in. We just want to talk."

"Pfft, more like argue." Danny stated while folding his arms.

Maddie slammed harder on the door. "Just let us in!"

"Not until Sam's parents apologize, say that her life is fine the way it is and be happy with it!"

Sam's parents looked at each other with guilt. They knew that they were ruining Sam's life, but only to give the best of her and make her happy. They knew that they were only making her more and more depressed and stressed about how much she has to go through.

"Alright, we'll apologize." Mr Manson confirmed.

"Let us in, I promise we will not yell at you." Mrs Manson claimed.

Sam looked at Danny while he was holding her in his arms. "They sound regretful, let them in."

Danny let go of Sam then stood up still reluctant, he opened the door to see two regretful faces and his mother looking upset. He walked back up to Sam to comfort her just in case if her parents were going to yell at her again.

"Sam, we know how much stress you're under." Her father stated.

"But we now realised that we were just doing what was best for you. I can see now that you do have what is best for you and for that. Your father and I apologize for our mistakes over the years."

Mr Manson held onto his sad but loving wife with hope and sadness.

"We hope that you accept our apology and let us attend the wedding."

Sam's eyes were filled with shiny tears of happiness; her mouth was trembling with amazement. She would never think she would live to see her parents apologizing for their mistakes. She sat silent for a moment then jumped up and hugged her mother and father. She cried tears of forgiveness as well as her parents. Danny smiled in the background with his mother by his side.

"You've done a wonderful job Danny, I'm so proud of you." Maddie sniffled

"I am too boy." Jack stated as he entered the room.

Jack laid a hand on Danny's shoulder and looked proud.

"I'm proud of you boy. You've successfully reunited Sam with what her parents should have been behaving to her from the very beginning."

"And I hope that you and Sam will do the same with your child." Maddie added with tears starting to develop around her purple eyes.

"Thanks mum and dad, you two had done an amazing job at raising Jazz and I. Well, besides all the arguments about Santa and ghost fighting."

Maddie and Jack hugged their boy in happiness and forgiveness. Everyone was happy.

D'aww *sniffle* everything turned out great! And that's how another chapter should end! *cries tears of happiness*

I loved that chapter; I hoped you did too :)

You'll see chapter 24 sometime tomorrow ;)
