I think I might be updating twice a day since I've planned out more than 12 chapters and there's only less than 2 weeks until another year of school starts. And since I've been updating this once a day, I was thinking for some days I'll update twice a day if that's not too much for you readers ^^;
Okay, better stop blabbering on (I don't think you guys even read this bit XD). I need to get this chapter done, there's meant to be many things happening in this chapter.
Oh, and I'm guessing no one bothered to answer my little question ^^; oh well, you'll find out soon enough :D

Danny was starting to feel worried about Sam, what if the due date had become nearer? What if she went into labour during the engagement party? It couldn't be that early, could it?
Those thoughts ran through Danny's head as he focused on the road that was heading towards the main hospital.
It took another 10 minutes or so for them to reach the hospital, in the meantime Sam was cramping up again. She was starting to feel impatient but she had no reason why. She could only blame the traffic lights.
As Danny parked the car in the parking lot, he unbuckled his seatbelt then was about to get out when Sam screamed.
"Hurry up!"
Danny looked back in shock and annoyance. "Alright Sam, I'll get there."
"C'mon, she has less than two hours now!" Sam stated while folding her arms as Danny ran over to her door.
As Danny helped her out, she almost slapped him for being too slow in her perspective.
Later on, they were in the main area of the building. They spotted Bella after a few minutes, she was a little shocked at how much Sam had grown since she had last seen her. She immediately walked over to the couple and guided them to her office room.
"So, how have you been since we last seen and spoke to each other?"
Sam sighed in a happy tone. "A few cramps here and there."
Danny walked up to Bella then whispered to her.
"I think she's getting mood swings too."
Bella chuckled. "There's no need to whisper her mood swings to me."
"Danny, stop keeping secrets from me!" Sam demanded.
Danny sighed. "See?"
Bella giggled at the situation. "Don't worry Danny; it's just part of becoming a mother. It's natural for her to scream at you, she still loves you just at a higher rate due to her hormones."
"Well, now that I understand it," Danny continued with his hands in his pockets. "Why don't we do the reason why we're here in the first place Sam?"
"I just want another ultrasound to see if you can pick up any traces of ectoplasm."
"But I told you last time Sam; we don't have that kind of technology developed here in the hospital."
Sam clenched her fists. "Just try it!"
As Sam lay down and Bella prepared the ultrasound machine, Danny asked a question that he should have known a long time ago.
"Um, doctor Bella? Does the mood swings vary from person to person?"
"You mean woman to woman?" Bella corrected, activating the machine.
"Uh yeah I suppose."
Bella chuckled at Danny's confusion. "Well to answer your question, yes. It does vary from woman to woman."
Sam lifted up her dark purple maternity shirt up a bit to show her large stomach with already many stretchmarks and a line down underneath the centre of her stomach.
As Bella examined her stomach with the remote-like object being moved around her stomach with the blue gel helping it, she eyed the screen very carefully to see if she could find the three babies swarming around inside her.
"Ah, here they are. All bunched up together." Bella smiled.
"Can you see anything green?" Sam asked while tilting her head up a little.
"Actually…now that you mention it, I do see something green in their bodies. Is that the colour of ectoplasm?"
"Yes, we saw that same colour in the ultrasounds. We thought you would've known of the green splotches in their bodies." Danny explained.
"Hold on a minute."
"What do you see?"
"I see…a lot of green on one of the children. The other two have only very little, and I think it's unstable."
So for about an hour, Bella examined the three children with all the technology she had. A few days had passed; they were both at the mall looking for baby clothes.
"Aw Danny, this one looks cute. What do you think?" Sam asked while holding up a small pink baby outfit for the girl that they knew about.
"Cute. Oh, how about this one in case if we have a boy or maybe even two boys?"
"Aw, we have to buy that. It's just so cute."
So Danny and Sam spent another hour or so finding some special clothes for their kids. They also bought some baby furniture for the spare room that the triplets would be staying in; they bought two cribs, a changing table and some baby toys. They left the building with a few bags full of baby clothes. Most of it was girl clothes because they were only certain about there being one girl; they were planning to find out about the other two once she gave birth.
"I loved that store; it had everything we were looking for."
"Yeah well, at least you don't have to carry two boxes full of crib parts."
"I told you to only get one at a time." Sam stated.
"Yeah but, that would mean more time at the shops. And I hate going to the shops, nothing but walking around looking for stuff I don't even need."
Sam looked annoyed at Danny's statement. "So, you hate shopping for our kids clothes?"
"No, it's just when I was a kid I really hated it, sorry if you thought wrong Sam."
Sam chuckled a little. "That's okay Danny. I was just thinking you were afraid of the triplets."
"Oh no, I'm not afraid at all." Danny exclaimed while trying to carry the two large boxes to the parking lot.
They were near the entrance of the store; Sam was holding the bags by her fingertips. She was carrying at least 3 green recyclable bags on each hand, it felt like carrying another three babies to her except they were in her hands. To Danny, it felt like as if he had just gained about 35 pounds.
"Are we nearly to the car yet?" Danny asked while grunting every time he walked.
"I thought you could handle this sort of thing, haven't you been fighting ghosts lately?"
"No not really. The last thing I fought was a dark shadow which was quite some time ago. In fact, I can't remember that when was. It had been so long ago."
"Wow."
"So, how far are we to the car?"
Sam chuckled. "You do realise we haven't even left the mall yet?"
Danny groaned in a very annoyed and tired tone. "Oh come on!"
Sam giggled. "Now you know how I feel carrying a big load,"
Danny pouted as they finally left the building.
As soon as they arrived home, they were too tired and lazy to get all the bags and boxes out so they headed straight for inside. As they walked towards the door, he smirked. He had planned a surprise for Sam whom he hoped that she would like, and he saw no suspicion on Sam's face.
Danny handed Sam the keys to open the door. "Here Sam, you open the door." He smiled.
"Um, okay. Why? Are you going to get the cribs now?"
"Oh no, I'll get them later."
Sam gave a suspicious look at him; he tried not to give it away so he just tried to smile without looking guilty.
It was just past sunset, so it was a little dark but there was some dim light coming from the west.
As Sam opened the door, it was dark. So she turned the nearest light switch on and what she saw next astonished her.
"Surprise!" Everyone called.
"Happy birthday Sam!" Jack claimed.
"Jack, it's her baby shower." Maddie exclaimed while she face palmed.
"Oh my god! Danny, did you plan this? All for me?"
"No, not just for you." He smiled with his hands moving down to Sam's stomach. "For them three as well."
Some of Danny and Sam's families were there and Tucker too. Danny parents and sister were there as well as his aunt, uncle and step cousin. Sam's uncle Craig was there, as well as her favourite cousin Nisha and her grandparents as well as her grandmother.
Sam smiled as she sat down in between Jazz and Maddie.
"We hope we didn't startle you Sam. Danny was worried that we may have frightened you." Jazz exclaimed.
"Frightened? No, you surprised me!" she called to everyone in the room.
Danny chuckled as Sam's mood was much brighter than it was before; she saw all the happy faces that she had always loved to see.
As Sam was unwrapping some baby gifts, Danny shared some lemonade with his old pal Tucker.
"Dude, aren't you going to see what everyone got for your kids?" he asked while raising his glass to his lower lip to drink.
"Pfft, I'll see it all after. Oh hey, I got accepted!"
"You got in? Great job dude! So, when are you going to start?"
"No clue yet. I'm still thinking about it."
Sam was glad to see many more outfits for the babies; she also got two packets full of pacifiers from her grandmother.
"You need them girly. They won't stop cryin' Just like your mother did."
"Mother!" Pamela exclaimed.
Sam held up a small hooded jacket for one of the babies if it was a girl "This is all very wonderful guys, I really appreciate it."
Aww don't ya love moments like that? So cute and all happy ^^ Well, now you know what the surprise was. There's going to be some bad stuff happening in the next chapter but not too bad though ^^;
