Chapter 1

Sam was looking down at the silver band on her finger as she felt it.

"Danny!" She called out immediately, her voice echoing around the room. "Danny!"

Seconds later, a tall, skinny boy with white hair and bright green eyes appeared in front of her, looking alert and ready to fight.

"Come here," Sam said, patting the seat next to her on the couch. "Sit down and give me your hand."

Danny obeyed, his brows knitting together in wonder and what she wanted his hand for. She took it and placed it on her belly, which was barely big enough to show she was pregnant. Nothing happened for a minute, and then he felt a nudge.

"Was – was that - " he stammered, pressing down on her belly a bit harder.

"Our baby," Sam answered, a smile on her lips. She placed her hand over Danny's as he continued to wait for another nudge. He laughed as he did, and put his face down to where the feelings were coming from.

"Hey, little one," he cooed, talking to Sam's belly. "I'm your daddy! I cant wait to meet you…"

Sam ran her fingers through Danny's dark hair, still smiling. It had been several years since they had managed to save the world, and they had finally decided to stop pushing aside their feelings for each other and try dating. It had gone exceedingly well, but it had also been quite a shock when Sam took that pregnancy test and the tiny plus sign had appeared. They hadn't even been discussing marriage, and now it was definitely on a back burner, the baby being all Sam could think about.

"How far along are you again?" Danny's green eyes looked up into her violet ones. He hadn't phased back, probably because feeling his baby kick had been so surprising for him.

"Almost twenty weeks. My gender ultrasound is scheduled for next week."

Neither of them had to say anything to this – they were both hoping that Danny would be able to make it to the doctor. Although there had been fewer ghost attacks in Amity Park, the ones that did happen were always on important days or when the couple were trying to have some quality alone time. It was almost a miracle that they had been able to get pregnant – not only were they not sure Danny's DNA would actually be able to be passed on, but there were ghost attacks every time they tried to make love.

"I'll make it," Danny said. Sam knew he meant it – he had been more excited than she when they had found out – but all Sam could do in response was smile and kiss his forehead.

"I know you'll try," she said, "but I – we – understand if you can't."

Danny sat up straight and phased back into a human; he took Sam's face in his hands and hesitated as if he wanted to say something, but kissed her instead.
