"Finally! After two weeks in the hospital it feels good to be out in the fresh air!" To emphasize her point, she took a deep breath as she continued to walk with Danny and Tucker alongside her.

They had just walked into the parking lot of the hospital as Sam's parents finished signing her release papers.

"Yeah, it was weird they kept you for so long even though you seemed fine." Danny said.

"Not to mention the doctor seemed pretty weird. He didn't seem to like us to much." Tuck said agreeing with Danny.

" He didn't look like your average doctor either."

"Oh give me a break! Danny your just jealous because he liked me and Tuck your mad because he kept telling you to cut your PDA off."

"Sam! We're serious he was creepy and technically he was a pedo. I mean what doctor is 24 years of age now a days that hits on a 16 year old!"

"Plus, since when does the hospital not allow you to use electronics? On top of that, what kind of PDA do you know of that interferes with hospital tech?"

"Tucker's right, I've never seen some of that stuff in a hospital before anyway."

Sam sighed exasperated with these boys.

"Look, how many times have you actually been in a hospital Danny?"

"A couple…"

"Ok, how many times have you been in a room?"

"Uh…"

" Not often, right? So how do you know what type of machines are supposed to be there or not?"

By now Danny was at a lost for words.

"And Tucker, you don't have an average PDA. How many times have you broken into top of the line security, hacked into classified data? You took over a Skulkers suit for Pete's sake. Need I go on? It wouldn't be the most surprising thing that your PDA messed up some stuff."

Now both boys were stupefied as they were told off by their gothic friend.

"Now let's just enjoy-"

"Samantha!" A shrill voice called out causing Sam to cringe as she turned to answer the call.

"Yes, mother?" Annoyance was clearly evident on her face. Her parents hadn't said a single word to any of them since they came to check her out of the hospital. She was hoping for it to stay that way.

"Get into the limo this instance!"

"But-"

"Do not talk! Get in the car now!"

Sam was about to object when her dad intervened.

"Sam, please just get in." He spoke in a soft calm tone but looked very tired and irritable.

She stared at him for a second before deciding just to go with it. She turned to Danny and Tucker.

"I'll…see you guys later." Her demeanor visually dampened as she got in the limo followed by her father.

But before they left her mother stuck her head out towards the boys.

"I don't want you two hanging around with my daughter anymore!" She huffed angrily as she slipped back into the car rolling the window up.

They just stood and watched the limo drive off no doubt towards the Manson Mansion.

Tucker sighed and gave Danny a light pat on the back who was still staring into the distance.

"Come on dude, let's go."

With their heads hung low they continued on to Fenton works opting to walk instead of fly.

' I wonder what my parents think…'

At Fenton Works…

Danny and Tucker had finally reached their destination and were now standing on the porch savoring their last possible moments of freedom.

"Ready?" Tucker asked.

Danny gave an unsure nod as he unlocked the door and stepped inside.

His family was all sitting on the couch watching the news still talking about Danny phantom/Fenton. Suddenly Jazz turned and jumped up running to Danny giving him a suffocating hug.

"Danny! I'm glad you're ok! It's been two weeks since we saw you." When there was a lack of response she looked at him and noticed he was slightly blue and immediately let go. He almost fell but luckily Tucker was ther to catch him. After Danny regained his regular breathing pattern he spoke.

" I was at Tucker's and spent the last two weeks there." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. " I didn't want to come home yet with all the possibilities of what could happen running through my head. He continued to look at the ground unsure of what was to come next.

"Yeah my parents were pretty understanding about this whole situation and let him crash for a while but they said he had to face his problems and go home today."

Jazz looked over to Tucker before giving him a hug although it was gentler than what she did to Danny.

" Thanks Tucker."

He blushed a little as he hugged her back. "No problem."

Then a firm yet soft voice cut in.

"Danny…"

His head suddenly shot up as he looked at his mom who had tear stained eyes.

"I'm so sorry, I feel horrible. You must hate us." She was now freely crying.

Danny stood awkwardly before going up to his mother and hugging her.

Stop mom, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. It's just that I thought you'd hate me and not vice versa since you thought I was evil and all. I mean you did hunt me down on a daily basis." He chuckled slightly trying to ease the situation only to make her cry harder.

"Mom, stop crying please." Danny said for lack of better fitting words.

"Sweetie, I just want you to know we will always love you no matter what." She had finally stopped crying enough to regain her composure and move over to Tucker.

" Thank you for taking care of Danny Tucker. Make sure you tell your parents the same and you already know your welcome here anytime." She gave him a hug too before stepping away.

"It was nothing , I'm just glad everything turned out ok. But I should get going, my parents are probably waiting for me." He waved goodbye to everyone before he started his walk home. Danny was going to fly him but he didn't want to ruin their moment.

After Tucker closed the door the air felt a lot tenser as Danny realized the only person who hadn't resolved or talked to him was his dad who was still sitting on the couch staring blankly at the TV.

"Dad?" Danny shyly called out. He started towards him.

"Danny wait, dad hasn't exactly been himself these past two weeks…he hasn't said anything lately."

Danny nodded meekly before continuing his walk until he was in front of his dad.

"Dad?" There was still no response until Jack slowly lifted his head up to meet his sons gaze slightly unnerving Danny.

"Um…are you ok?" Jack just continued his actions for a good minute before finally responding.

"Am I ok?" He chuckled a little."The real question is are you?"

By now everyone's eyes were wide in shock considering this was the first time he talked or showed more than a little emotion in two weeks.

"Um…you're not mad? You don't want to kill me? Or rip me apart? Dissect me? Dis-"

Jack jumped off the couch suddenly causing Danny to jump back in slight fear.

"Danny-my-boy, I'll be honest. When I first heard of… this, a lot of things went through my head trying to figure out if this was all real and what I would do when I saw you."

Danny stood stock still on alert paying close attention to his father who still hasn't made it very clear if he accepted him or not.

"But, at the end of it all, I realized you were still my son and even though your half ghost, your also half human so you couldn't be all bad. Me and your mother finally realized what good you really do…with some encouragement from Jazz. Even though I'm still trying to figure how this is genetically possible or that you are part of the very things I despise, I know you're still my son."

Danny was slightly hurt at some of his father's words but happy that his parents didn't hate him.

"Dad…that was cheesy."

Danny filled the distance between them and gave his dad a hug…a manly hug of course.

"Whew, that went better than expected." Jazz stated. "This could have potentially been much worse."

"Tell me about it." Danny said now having his family around him genuinely happy for a moment before his mom spoke.

"So…you and Sam huh?"

"MOM!"

"I knew it was going to happen, everyone did."

Danny just groaned in reply until he remembered what happened earlier today. His mood shifted back to despair but he tried to not make it noticeable as he didn't want to worry his family.

"I'm going to call Tuck." He then raced up the steps to his room.

*Ring**Ring*

"Hey Tuck."

"Hey man, how'd it go after I left?"
"Pretty good, it wasn't as smooth and nice as the way your parents were with it but everything turned out fine."

" Yeah they were pretty understanding huh? But, I'm really worried about Sam though. I don't think things are going to go as well for her as it did us."

"Yeah I know. I'm going to go check on her.

"Ok dude let me know how it goes."

"Gotcha. See ya later Tuck."

Danny got up, wrote a note explaining where he was going, went ghost, and flew out the window towards Sam's hou- excuse me, I mean mansion. At 112 mph it didn't take long for her mansion to come into view . But, as he got closer, it was very evident that things weren't going well at all…
