So who thought about that twice update? I had a little bit of time so I managed to squeeze that in before I got to bed ^^ Oh, and the reason why it was a little short it was because that's all I had planned for that chapter…ehe...sorry. ^^;
Okay, I MIGHT do two chapters today IF I have time. I've been busy with my Danny Phantom poster; I've just finished colouring the background…well, half of it anyway XD I'll post it to deviantART in a few days ^^ Alright, enough about my art and on with another chapter of A Boundary Away! :D
Oh, and if any of you are waiting on Love Triangle, I will get there I promise. I just have so much to do right now but I will get a chapter done before I start a new year of school which is now less than a week ;)

A few days had passed; Danny and Sam had already unpacked their gifts and put them in their rightful places around the house. The kids' room was almost completed, there was just one box of stuff left in there but that was it.
Sam was happy that Danny took a break for college but she didn't know that his break was only a few days off. Her pregnancy signs were weakening as they settled down; every now and then she would feel them trying to move around. Even during her sleep she would be startled as she felt a kick while dreaming.
It was the weekend, Danny and Sam slept in until about 11am. Sam was the last one to wake up since she was kept up a bit by the three kicking infants; Danny was in the bathroom brushing his teeth. He was still wearing only his black boxers and his slightly long black hair was ruffled still from the sleep. He decided to skip breakfast because it was almost time for lunch.
The bathroom consisted of a large corner bath which was white with some soaps and bottles on the edges; the blue basin was a round sink with pipes underneath it leading to the pipes inside the house. Their shower was in the opposite corner with a black door which blocked out all the light and vision from the rest of the bathroom once you were inside. There was a dark blue mat next to the shower and there was a large square purple mat next to the corner bath.
The flush of the toilet was very quiet; this was behind the door when the door was opened. Unfortunately, the flush startled Sam since she can be a light sleeper at times. She moaned and groaned as she tossed over the other side. The bathroom was attached to Sam's room and Danny had left the door wide open so that was how she was awaken by the flush.
She moaned again as she heard Danny turn on the tap of the basin. "Danny? What time is it?" she asked as she rested a palm on her forehead weakly.
After Danny had turned the tap off, he dried his hands using the grey towel hanging by the door. He walked back into the room to answer Sam's question by looking at his alarm clock.
"It's nearly half past eleven." He answered as he went to the drawers on the opposite side of where the bed was.
Sam groaned loudly as she started to get up. "Already? Oh man I missed breakfast!"
Danny looked back at the queen sized bed to see Sam struggling to get up at a fast pace. "Sam, don't rush yourself." He exclaimed as he rushed to her side to help her up.
Sam smiled as she looked up at Danny. "I'm glad that you care about me more than college."
Danny smiled in return, he actually had college shortly after lunch but he didn't want to tell Sam about it otherwise she could get upset again. Luckily, he didn't promise to do anything after lunch. He just had to hope that Sam wasn't going to plan anything later on, or that his or Sam's parents came over to do some more planning for the wedding.
It was lunch; Danny wore some casual clothes so that Sam wouldn't notice him going to college. Danny would normally wear a loose blouse with long sleeves and black skinny jeans along with black shoes. This time, he was wearing light blue jeans with plain white sneakers, his hair was slightly ruffled and he was wearing a short sleeve shirt with a few buttons and a small collar. There was a large dark blue stripe just above his chest; the rest of the shirt was black.
Sam prepared some noodles while Danny picked out a few flavours from the spice draw near the metal sink. It consisted of chilli, paprika, variety of curries and many other different spices.
While they ate, Sam was feeling a little bored. She wanted to do something with Danny while he was on his long break, well according to her anyway.
"Danny, I was thinking…"
'Oh boy, I hope she's not planning anything.' Danny thought while taking another forkful of his curried noodles with mixed vegetables.
"Maybe some time this week we could rearrange the kids' room. I just think that there's something wrong with having the cribs not altogether."
"Oh, sometime this week?" Danny suggested.
"Yeah, I was going to do it today but I've got things to catch up on since we both got up late."
Danny sighed with relief, but what Sam said next made his day all ruined.
"So I was hoping you could help me this afternoon."
"Oh. For how long?"
"Well, it'll be easier and quicker if you helped me."
'Shit, I have college in less than two hours! How can I help her with the chores that quick?'
"Well, if you want them done that quickly, I can use my ghost powers. I haven't really been using them lately so maybe I could use them?"
Sam chuckled with disbelief. "Danny, the chores aren't that hard. Don't worry so much about them. It's just two hours of solid hard work."
Danny tried to smile as he rested his head in one of his hands while he used the other to finish his lunch meal. Sam smiled in return; she didn't know that Danny was actually upset and angry on the inside. He was upset because he didn't want to upset Sam and he was angry because of the chores interrupting college at that specific time.
While Danny was doing the dishes, Sam was up in her room grunting and moaning loudly as if she was in pain, Danny wiped his hands with a blue chequered tea-towel then ran upstairs to see what the problem was.
"Sam? You okay?"
Sam grunted once more in pain, she was lying on the bed with her hands pressed tightly against her stomach, she was wearing a purple top with a little flare and support for her breasts, it had three quarter sleeves with a little of flare at the ends. She was wearing purple studs with her long hair hanging loose a little over her shoulders, she was wearing long black tights and her shoes had been thrown off near a pile of dirty clothes that needed to be washed.
She looked up in anger and frustration. "Does it look like I'm okay?!"
Danny chuckled with a guilty look upon his face, he sped walk to her and kneeled down by her side to comfort her and see what the problem was while he kept a good eye on the time. He had just under an hour before he had to go, and he couldn't get changed since Sam was in the room where his clothes were in a separate drawer from Sam's.
"Do you need some rest?"
"I think I'm feeling contractions,"
"Already? But, Bella said-"
"That the date could change, I know." Sam answered sounding impatient.
"Oh, well are you sure they're contractions? You probably don't even know what they feel like."
Another burst of pain came from Sam's lower abdomen; she grunted again and pressed more firmly onto her growing stomach. "Maybe you're right…but I think I need some rest first."
This made Danny smile, if she was asleep this would mean that Danny could sneak out and go to college, he would just have to trust Sam to sleep for about two hours and then he comes home a few moments before she wakes up.
That was his mistake; a few minutes after he came home from college, he quickly went upstairs to see if Sam was asleep. She wasn't there, the bed was neat and tidy and his dresser had been emptied out which meant that Sam was looking for his clothes that he wears to college. After Danny was further into the room, the door behind him suddenly shut which startled him; he turned around to see Sam with her legs apart in a disappointed way and her hands clenched down by her hips, the expression on her face meant that she knew that he had left for college.
Danny chuckled a little then rubbed his neck in guilt and worry. "So uh, what did you want me to make for dinner?"
Sam walked up to him; Danny knew what he was in for. Another perfect slap on the cheek as a sign as you broke your promise.
Sam slapped him but Danny didn't groan or grunt as the pain sunk into his skin.
"You idiot! You promised!"
"I know I did, but I didn't want to upset you."
"Yeah, look who's upset?" She asked sarcastically.
Danny looked down with guilt. "I'm sorry. How can I make it up to you?"
"Well, you can make dinner for the both of us and you can do the chores that I haven't finished." She demanded while smirking with her arms folded over her chest.
Danny frowned then started walking downstairs to get started with the chores; he had at least another hour until he had to start making dinner for the both of them without Sam's help. It was only half past 5, so it had to be another hour or so before he would start preparing dinner.
The next day, Sam was alone and she was getting pains again, she was trying to think that it wasn't time but it was just that painful that it tricked her body into thinking that it was time for birth but in fact, it wasn't. Unfortunately, she didn't know that.
Danny was in college again, he had left an hour after Sam had woken up. It was about 9am when he left, he told her the night before that he will take a break once it's the start of May which was only two days away.
Since she knew that calling her mum would be a bad idea, she instead called up Jazz.
"Hey Jazz, it's me Sam."
"Oh hi Sam, did you like my present?"
"Oh yeah, Danny's already started using the coffee maker."
Jazz giggled over the phone. "So, what did you want?"
"I want you to-"
She grunted as some more pain was unexpectedly arriving to that same area as before, Jazz could hear her. She had a good idea why she had called her.
"I'll be over in 10 minutes."
Sam grunted again then smiled in reply. "Thanks Jazz."
Sam hung up the phone then went into the living room to rest on the couch until Jazz had arrived.
Lol Danny again being an idiot, but I'll tell ya one thing. There's actually something that's making him focus more on college than her and he is NOT overshadowed! XD Since I keep on getting asked that question, you'll receive the answer in the next chapter. Wait, you've actually got the answer but I didn't tell you. Can you tell what Danny is "Afraid" of? There's a hint ;)
