Finally! After nearly a month, I'm back! Sorry for the long wait! I've been busy, distracted with other stuff, and having writer's block. Also, I updated the first two chapters a tiny bit, so check out the new version of how/when Danny proposed to Sam!

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Danny Phantom!

"So, what's the plan for our living situation?" Danny asked, lounging on his bed, facing his wife, who's lying on the other side, facing him.

"Well, I think living with your parents has been working out better than living with my parents, even though your bed is smaller," Sam said. "Partly because your parents accept our relationship."

"Unlike your parents, who still hate me. In fact, I think they hate me even more since we found out you're pregnant two weeks ago," Danny muttered.

Sam groaned. "They never change."

Danny chuckled a little at her distaste toward her parents. Sam rolled over and reached into her backpack. She rolled back over as she pulled out a book.

"We should probably start reading this," she said as she showed him the book, which was about pregnancy and parenthood.

"That's probably a good idea," Danny agreed. He moved closer and rested his head against her shoulder as she opened the book and they started to read.

An hour later, they decided that they had read enough for now. Sam yawned as she snuggled with Danny, his body heat making her even sleepier despite his body temperature being slightly lower than a normal human's due to his cryokinesis (ice powers).

Danny turned over onto his back. His left arm was supporting his head, his right arm was draped across his stomach, and his right leg was bent so that his foot was flat on the bed. He fell asleep in that position while Sam fell asleep still snuggled into his shoulder.

(In a prison somewhere between Colorado and Illinois)

A man sat alone in the prison cafeteria. He had sallow, blue skin, long, jet-black hair tied in a short ponytail, black eyes, and a scar under his left eye. He had an average build and height and wore a blue, double-breasted coat and pants, black gloves and boots, a black collar, and a wide, black belt.

He'd been arrested yet again because of his teenage, cheerleading nemesis. His sidekick had gotten away, but he hadn't. Sometimes, he really wished he was a fighter and not a thinker.

He scowled at his cousin, a very muscular man with a blond mullet, across the room playing his air guitar with a few other weirdos. However, the weirdest weirdo in the prison was a man with dark red eyes. He was completely bald and had the worst inferiority complex the blue man had seen. He was so pale, he looked like a ghost. However, when one of the other prisoners pointed that out to him, the pale man flipped out. He started ranting that he was better than ghosts and he wouldn't be upstaged by ghosts.

The blue man smirked at the memory. But then he recalled the incident that had recently happened. He had been possessed by the ghost of Blackeye Brown, a pirate captain who swore revenge of a historical town near Middleton, Colorado. Thankfully, the ghost had returned to the treasure chest when it sank to the bottom of the ocean. However, the experience made him think, maybe the pale man wasn't quite as delusional as the other prisoners thought him to be.

The blue man had been thinking. If he couldn't handle one ghost, how would his nemesis deal with an army of ghosts? Although, the problem was that he didn't know much about ghosts.

The blue man took a deep breath before trudging over to the pale man, who was watching the mullet man with mild disgust.

"Mind if I sit?" the blue man announced himself and sat beside the man without waiting for an answer.

"What do you want?" the man asked suspiciously.

"I'm hurt. You think I came over here because I want something?" the blue man gasped with fake shock and disappointment. The pale man frowned at him.

"Yes, no one comes over here unless they want to make fun of me or to ask for something. So what do you want?" he replied.

The blue man sighed. "All right, then. You know much about ghosts?" he began. The man stood up.

"Wait! Where are you going?" the blue man called to the pale man before he left.

"I'm not going to sit here and be ridiculed," the man informed him. The blue man stood to face the pale man.

"No, I'm not here to make fun of you. I… I was recently possessed by a ghost. I wanted to talk to you about it," he admitted.

The pale man turned to him, studied his blue face, and shrugged. He at back down and motioned for the blue man to continue. So he started to explain the story of how he was possessed by Captain Blackeye Brown. The pale man seemed very interested and asked certain questions, which the blue man answered.

"So, my question is, can ghosts be found and controlled?" the blue man asked, finally. The pale man stared at him and nodded.

"There's a town; Amity Park, Illinois. It's overrun by ghosts. Natural portals to the Ghost Zone open there all the time. I went there once. I used to have a crystal ball; family heirloom; it could control ghosts and I used them to perform in my Gothic circus and to steal valuables. But it was destroyed. However, I'll give you some friendly advice. If you go to Amity Park intending to cause some trouble, watch out for a ghost that goes by Danny Phantom. He broke my spell and got me arrested. Don't underestimate him," the pale man answered.

The blue man grinned at him and nodded. That night, his sidekick broke him out of prison and the pale man's ghost 'girlfriend' broke him out as well. The blue man was ready to set his latest plan into motion. He and the pale man would work together to defeat their teenaged foes. But first they'd need a few things.

After an hour nap, Danny and Sam joined up with Jazz and Tucker for ghost hunting. "Well, guys, I hate to say it, or maybe I'm glad to say it, but tonight's ghost hunting scene is pretty much Dullsville," Tucker informed.

Suddenly, Danny painfully crashed, head-first, into a streetlight. He was instantly unable to stay airborne and fell to the ground, grunting in pain as he landed on his back.

"Danny!" Sam and Jazz yelled in concern. The two girls and Tucker ran over to the downed halfa, worried. Danny shook his head to clear the fuzziness.

"You okay?" Sam asked, concerned.

"Yeah..." Danny said as he got to his feet. "I was just lost in thought."

"What were you thinking about?" Tucker asked.

"It's not important," Danny said.

"Okay..."

"What were you thinking about earlier?" Sam asked as they laid in bed, about an hour later, settling down to sleep.

Danny sighed. "I was thinking about how you got pregnant. I mean, we know it happened during the overshadowing incident, but that's what confuses me. That's never happened to anyone else I've overshadowed."

"Yeah, that is weird. I wouldn't worry about it. It happened and there's nothing we can do about it now," Sam reassured.

Sam quickly fell asleep, but Danny was still too deep in thought to sleep. After about an hour of tossing and turning, he gave up and decided to take a flight to try to clear his head. Rather than flying around town like normal, he went to the Ghost Zone.

After an hour of pacing around on an island near Johnny 13's bike trail, Danny still hadn't calmed down and was still deep in thought. Soon, Johnny and Kitty rode up and stared at the distressed halfa.

"What is he doing?" Johnny asked his fiancé.

"I don't know," Kitty replied. "It looks like he's thinking really hard about something." Johnny got Danny's attention.

"What do you want, Johnny?" Danny growled.

"Relax, kid," Johnny said. "We're not here to do any harm. What are you doing?"

Danny eyed them warily. "Just thinking about something." He then thought of something. "Actually, maybe you can give me the answers I'm looking for."

"All right."

"Can ghosts reproduce through overshadowing?" Danny asked, trying to play it close to the vest. Kitty and Johnny exchanged a look.

"Actually, yeah, they can," Johnny said. "If they're not careful," Kitty added.

"Okay, thanks!" Danny said, quickly flying back home. Kitty and Johnny exchanged a confused look, then went back to driving down the bike trail.

When Danny got back to their room, Sam was half-awake. "What were you doing out so long?" she asked, a hint of suspicion in her voice. Danny just mumbled about telling her in the morning as he flopped into bed. Sam raised an eyebrow in suspicion, but, seeing as Danny was already asleep and she was half-asleep herself, she decided to drop it until morning.

"So, where did you go last night?" Sam asked as they got ready for school. The suspicion in her voice was obvious.

"I couldn't sleep. I just couldn't get those thoughts out of my head, even though you told me not to worry about it. You know I like to fly to clear my head," Danny replied as he ruffled his hair into its usual mess. "I went to the Ghost Zone and, after pacing around for an hour, I got the answer to my question from Johnny and Kitty."

Sam smiled slightly. "Sorry I got suspicious," she apologized.

"It's okay. That's understandable, especially since your emotions are all over the place because you're pregnant," Danny said gently.

They smiled lovingly at each other, then started walking to school together.

"So, what did Johnny and Kitty say?" Sam asked as they walked to school.

"Apparently, ghosts can reproduce through overshadowing if they're not careful," Danny replied. "I wish we'd known that sooner..."

"Yeah, but now we know, so you can be careful in the future," Sam reasoned.

After a few minutes of silence, Danny spoke up again. "So, your cousin from Colorado and his girlfriend are visiting next month?"

"Ugh, yes," Sam said disgustedly. "Actually, I heard that they got engaged recently."

"Really? Good for them," Danny said.

Sam fell asleep during class, which was a first for her. During free period, she and Danny finished reading the pregnancy and parenting book.
