Hi again, here to do chapter 30 of A Boundary Away ^^ now, as I said in the previous chapter…I have been planning out my future chapters instead of thinking it on the spot because it's easier and more fun :D I want to have about 48 chapters at LEAST! I'm hoping not to go beyond 50 chapters but we'll see how it goes :)

So far, I've planned up a month before Sam is due but there is still so much that needs to happen and I don't like speeding things up too fast and missing big chunks of the story. I like it to flow if you know what I mean; I don't plan on having a sequel if you guys were wondering because I think this story is really good?

Oh, one more thing. Just a little tip for some writers, in order to make more chapters you need to fully understand the concept of what's happening and actually be in love or obsessed with your story. Don't just write it to amuse the reviewers, amuse you as well :)

P.S Sorry for the minor errors in some of my most recent chapter, I'll get around to fixing them soon ;)

After a few minutes of explaining why Jack was there in the first place, Maddie placed a heavy book on the table. This immediately hurt Sam's head as well as Danny's. They knew that they would have to take in a lot of information in the next hour or so and there was no backing out. They needed to do this unless they wanted more stress on their shoulders.

"So, where should we start?"

"Start where?" Danny wondered sounding confused.

Maddie giggled in disappointment. "Opps, I mean when."

"When do you want to have everything?"

"The wedding." Maddie answered to Sam.

"Well, can it be after I have the kids?" Sam asked, scratching her head.

"Well sure Sam, every pregnant woman would prefer it after the children."

This made Sam smile, she could get that weight over her shoulders, but the real struggle was when the engagement party was going to be. She hoped that it wouldn't be too close to when she was due; it was another 6 months until that would happen. But, like Bella said at their last appointment, the due date could change.

Danny was just sitting there in silence for about half an hour, while Jack couldn't stop talking about what food there should be at the wedding. While Maddie was trying to stop Jack from talking while Sam was sitting with a face of humiliation.

After Maddie had finally silenced Jack, she tried to make Danny talk once more.

"Danny? When would you like to have the wedding?"

Danny turned to his mum still a little dazed. "What? Oh, well what do you think Sam?"

"She already asked me." Sam answered looking and sounding annoyed with her arms crossed and eyebrows narrowed. "I told her to ask you."

"Oh, okay. Well uh…I'm not sure, how about we focus on when the engagement party is going to be."

"Now Danny, that's when we all meet up next month, right now, we are focusing on the wedding. And we're in charge of the dates of these special occasions, so pick a date."

"But not the fudge eating contest, I need to win it. It's my 12 year streak and I don't want to break it." Jack exclaimed.

Maddie face palmed at her husband's love for food, she really hoped that he would go on a diet someday but that seems to just move further away.

Danny thought hard, he was too worried about everything else to think of a suitable date for Sam and his most special date of their lives. There was one thing he knew and that was to make it after his birthday, the engagement party that is.

"I can't really think about the wedding right now. But I can think of a date for the engagement party."

This brightened up Sam's mood; finally, something was being planned around here.

"Alright then Danny, give a date." Jack exclaimed.

"I was thinking sometime after we meet up, like week or so."

"Which reminds me, when are we meeting up?"

"Mid April." Jack grinned.

Maddie sighed in an annoyed tone. "She meant the actual date Jack. April 18th Sam." She answered.

"Oh okay." Sam replied.

"So how about the 26th? That's a week later isn't it?" Danny wondered.

"And a day." Sam added.

"Right."

"Then it's settled." Maddie stated while snapping her hands together. "We'll have the engagement party on the 26th of April."

"Is that when the wedding is?" Jack asked sounding excited.

"Jack!" Everyone shouted.

For about another hour or so, they didn't really talk about wedding plans. They actually planned out who's coming to the engagement party, what food there would be and a few ideas of what everyone was going to wear to the party.

A week passed, nothing but waiting patiently for someone to call them or knock on their door but nothing. Then on one of those days while Sam was checking the mail, she noticed an envelope with 'Amity College' written on it. It was addressed to Danny, this made Sam smile but worry. What if he got accepted? Would that mean she wouldn't see him as much anymore? Sam thought while nervous and worried.

Danny was outside watering the grass because it was starting to get hot and there hadn't been much rain lately. But the forecast next week was a few small storms and a bit of rain, all sunny after that which meant it would be fine for the engagement party. They haven't told Sam's parents that they've been planning the engagement party without them and not about the wedding, they were going to tell them but they thought it would be great to tell them when they all meet up on the 18th of April which was just under three weeks away.

While Danny was hosing the grass, he accidently tripped because he was walking on a wet patch. He fell and got his dark blue jeans wet but not drenched, you could tell that they were wet though.

Then Sam came out, she saw her fiancé trying to stand up but kept on slipping due to the slippery grass which was already watered.

Sam giggled as she slowly walked towards him. And at last, Danny managed to stay up without getting his jeans fully drenched in water.

"Oh, hey Sam. What do you have there?" He asked while almost hosing the fence.

"Um Danny?" She asked while pointing to where the hose was.

"Oh," Danny tried to keep on track but couldn't. So instead, he switched it off by the handle and sat down with Sam at the bench near the sliding door.

"It's a letter from the college you told me about."

"Really?" Danny asked sounding excited. "I hope I got accepted!"

He tore the envelope open because he was just that excited to see if he got in or not. He forgot that if he got accepted, that would mean he wouldn't be seeing Sam as much anymore and it would be unfair to her.

Danny read the unfolded paper in silence; Sam could see his eyes darting from the left to the right several times until his reaction changed.

"I got accepted!"

Sam tried to look happy and gasped as wide and as happily as she could. "Danny, that's amazing!"

Danny chuckled with delight. "I know! This means after I get a degree in astrophysics I can be an astronaut!"

"Um, Danny. Astrophysics isn't a degree. And I'm not sure if your grades were high enough so you could apply."

"Oh Sam, they'll accept me. They know I'm part ghost!" He grinned.

Sam sighed in impatience. "Alright, what you need to get is a degree in physics, maths and engineering."

"How do you know all that?" Danny asked while raising an eyebrow.

Sam face palmed. "Duh, I'm looking for a college too. But I won't be able to go to one now since I'll be due in about 4 or 5 months."

Danny thought about this, he could get his dream job and be an astronaut or wait until Sam has kids and wait until she gets her college degree. He was unsure whether Sam will be okay to cope with the three kids on her own for a while. But Danny didn't want to wait; he wanted solid work so he could earn some money instead of needing some from Sam's family.

"Danny, before you make up your mind of whether you want to go to college or not. We need to arrange another appointment."

"Well, why don't you call Bella and ask when she's available next?"

"Okay, " Sam answered as she got up slowly while trying to make her spine go straight again.

Danny helped her up then went up to the spare bedroom where most of his belongings were and then placed the unfolded paper next to the pamphlets he had got a while ago about the two colleges in Amity Park.

Sam dialled Bella's number that was on a piece of paper she had written it on the first time she went there.

After a few rings, she answered. "Hello, Doctor Vausely speaking. How may I help you patient?"

Sam chuckled a little. "Hey Bella, it's me Sam."

"Oh hello Sam, nice to hear that you're still alive." She joked.

Sam laughed in return. "I would like to arrange another appointment before the end of April. Or whenever else you're free."

"Well, I'm free for the next two hours then I have to meet up with some other patients. Did you and Danny want to come down here now? If you're not busy that is."

"We're not busy." Sam smiled. "We'll be down there in about 20 minutes."

"See you then Sam!" she called back.

Sam replied with a quick goodbye then hung up the phone. She called to Danny who was just happening to be running down the stairs at that precise time.

"Yes Sam? Are you okay?"

Sam looked annoyed when Danny asked her that. "I'm fine. We're going down to the hospital now for an appointment."

"Why now?"

"Because she's free! Now, get in the car and drive us there!" She demanded.

'Man, I hope she has those three kids soon. I'm bound to get a smack on the head for just not putting my plate away' Danny thought while looking worried.
