Sam sat down on her bed with Danny plopping down next to her. Both sat in silence for a second.

"You know that," Danny started, his voice soft, "if you aren't ready..." He faded off as Sam looked at him, her neon violet eyes sad.

"I will never be ready," she said. "No matter what happens I will never be ready to remember, but you know what?" Grabbing his hand she smiled, her bottom lip trembling a little. "Having you back with me I know that I can face this and move on."

Danny smiled at her, her strength never shocked him. He knew that Sam was strong. He had known her for most of her life. They had known each other since kindergarten and their friendship had grown over the years. Seeing Sam with Dean had triggered what had always been there. Love. Jealousy. Possession. He saw Sam as his. He loved her and was jealous because he had assumed that she had found someone. Truly in the back of his mind he had never thought she would leave his side, but now, he wasn't so sure. It was like a wake up call to realize that she could find someone. Just like Dean said. Who ever ended up with her was lucky to have her. Could that be him?

"Hey, Earth to Danny!" Sam said waving one had in front of Danny. Danny had a weird look on his face. That look that he got around Paulina, but there was something different about this look, other then the fact that he was staring straight at her. "Danny?" He blinked before his eyes came into full focus. They needed to really talk about their relationship. What was their relationship and what could it be?

"Hey, Sam, after all is said and done can we talk about us?" Sam looked shocked, so much so that she became intangible and slide into the bed, literally. "Sam?" She blushed as he took her hand and pulled her up next to him, her blush becoming darker. "Can you change back?" he inquired. Sam nodded as she closed her eyes and concentrated. Within seconds she was back to her solid form, her amethyst eyes glittering. "So, are you ready?" She nodded as she began to explain what had happened that night. Danny listened, his eyes flashing green dangerously.

"There is one thing that I do remember," Sam said with a thoughtful look. "I woke up I think in the middle of it and heard Vlad say something about a ghost who wanted human females..." She looked confused at this revelation. "Danny, I don't remember feeling anything at all during the time it was happening and even when I woke up. I felt hands on my head and a cold draft, but nothing else. No matter how much I concentrate I can't feel anything or hear anything." Danny filled her in on what he had seen and what had happened. "You killed Vlad? Really? I didn't know that you could kill a ghost."

"I didn't either until I killed Ember first and then my Ghost side just seemed to know what to do. None of this helps us with the necklace, though," Danny said sadly.

"Maybe you are wrong," Sam stated. "That guy they were talking about. The ghost who wants human females. Maybe he knows something." Danny shrugged. "Maybe Frostbite might know something about him." Upon agreeing to meet with the ghost Danny turned the conversation back to them.

"Sam, I um... I um... wanted to know if you were talking about me down there?" Sam blushed, her eyes revealing her shock. He had caught on so fast. He wasn't dense, just clueless sometimes. She nodded as she looked down at her hands. Then Danny's hand came into view as he laid it on hers, his fingers curling around hers. She looked up at him in shock. "I um, am sorry," he began and watched as her eyes dimmed for a second. "I should have realized a long time ago and told you how I felt." Sam began to pull away from him and when he refused to release her she made her hands intangible, but Danny knowing what she would do followed suit and grasping hers again pulled her closer so that he could lean forward, his ghost breath and hers intermingling. "I.." then he paused. Some things were better shown. With that he leaned down and kissed her, his eyes closing at the same time as hers. Her hands held onto his as they kissed for what seemed like an eternity, but what had really been just minutes. When they pulled back both were gasping for breath, their eyes filled with love that both had hidden for so long. No words were needed. They both got what the other was conveying. "So, girlfriend," he said with a smile. "Let's get that necklace off."

The group of four headed out to the Ghost Zone in the Specter Speeder, Dean very excited to be included in the mission as he looked around the Ghost Zone, his eyes taking in everything around him in wonder. He had even brought a camera to film everything. Said that Agatha would love it. As they grew closer to where Frostbite lived the air became colder. Danny pulled Sam close as he pulled her coat together to zip it causing the two other guys in the contraption to smirk. Finally the lovebirds were together! It had taken years, but they were finally official.

"So, what is Frostbite like?" Dean inquired as he turned the camera to the group. Danny was in his ghost form next to a ghost Sam. They were holding hands as Danny explained about Frostbite. Just moments before the explanation finished Tucker let them know that they were there. Frostbite, in his large form of half frozen, half yeti/indomitable snow creature appeared before them, most of his creatures stayed away from Danny after the last time he had been there. He smiled at them, his fangs showing bright white against the grey of his face.

"Hello, Danny," the creature greeted them as they opened the door to the Speeder, his frozen hand grasping Danny's gloved one. "So, who have you brought today? Another ghost?" He inquired, his red/yellow eyes landing on Sam. Danny's pulled her forward with the hand that was still clasped tightly with hers.

"This is my mate," he stated. "Sam." Everyone was shocked except for Frostbite. He smiled.

"Nice to meet Danny's mate." After all introductions were made they headed to his hut to talk about the necklace, Sam still blushing and smiling from his introduction.
