A note fromt he author:

Hello every one! I know it has been a very long timje since I posted anything. Probably long enough to declare this account legally dead! Hahaha! But I am back and I'm starting fresh. Hopefully I will actually stick with this and see it through till the end of the story. the problem with my last stories was that I would start one and then something would come up, I'd get distracted for a few weeks then never touch it again... ever.

But hopefully I will change that and do this story with better writing and less typos (God help me). This Idea was brought to life by the FANTASTIC writing in the story Grandpappy Walker by TwiLyght Sans Sparkles! I advise you to check it out! It's fantastic. As I was reading I started thinking "You know... Probably the only guys Danny would hate being related to more than Walker would probably be Vlad, Pariah Dark and Technus. But since so many people have done different versions of the first two I decided to go with the last one. And a plot bunny took off in my brain.

This story will take place 3ish years after PP. Just before Danny turns 18. I havent changed the story line at all leading up to this point. Everythiong that happened in the show has happened, and all the characters are what they were last time we saw them. No one is suddenly paired up with any one they weren't before and no one is suddenly Danny's friend. (not that I have a problemm with the stories like that at all). And the best part about this story? NONE OF MY OCS! Can you believe it? I'm going to write a story without the use of an original character. I'll save that for my other Idea. I wont give it away but I will toss the idea of the Mother Nature ghost out there for you all to mull over. Heheh.

Without further adieu. Here is my story that I own none of the characters in. :)

Test Tube Baby

Chapter one,

Danny was almost 18 and his life just seemed to be surrounded around one thing. Being Danny Phantom. Sure, he had felt better letting his family know his secret and getting the load off of his chest but now he hadn't a single moment to himself. If he wernt off shoving the Box Ghost in the Fenton Thermos he was being hounded by reporters asking him why he lied to the town for the better part of maybe 2 years.

He had no answer for them.

He was a lot of things, but a liar was something he didnt like to be called. Even if he was one a lot of the time. He didnt want to hid his secret froom the world but what other choice did he have? He was half ghost for crying out loud! The first thing people do when approached with things they didnt understand was panic. He probably would have been hunted and turned full ghost if anyone knew. That is, before he saved the world... People tended to like him more after that.

Hero or not he was still torn between two worlds. The life of Danny Fenton, High School student and Danny Phantom, Halfa Hero.

Halfa...

There was soemthing about the word Danny never liked. It just seemed to point out the one thing he didnt like about being half ghost. He was only HALF ghost and HALF human. It was a strength and a weakness for him. True he could be unstoppable in the human world and un touchable in the ghost zone but he would never be accepted by both. The ghosts hated his guts and many humans were disgusted by the idea of having ghost DNA. But then again most humans were disgusted by the fact that he had FENTON DNA...

Danny flew home from school directly after getting a call from his mother. Apparently there was something very important that they had to discuss with him. She sounded like a wreck on the phone so he knew that it had to be big. Almost nothing could shake his mom like that. She was like a brick wall... While his dad was like a queen sized matress... Big and squishy.

He waved goodbye to Same and Tucker and raced to his house as fast as he could after recieving the call. He knew his parents hated him using ghost powers in the house so he transformed back to human form and opened the front door in a hurry.

"I'm home!" He announced, not seeing his family in the living room.

"We're down in the lab sweety!" HIs mom called from just past the kitchen.

Danny hustled down the stairs to find his parents and jazz sitting down there, drinking tea and looking through a manilla folder.

"What's going on?" Danny couldnt help but ask. He knew he'd have it explained to him if he asked or not.

"Sit down Danny." Jack told him quietly, "This may be a little hard for you to handle."

Daniel eyed them all curiously before sitting in the only empty chair in the room. All of their faces were conflicted and/or sad. He couldnt begin to figure why.

"Danny, honey," His mom started slowly, "We havnt been completely honest with you over the last 17 years... Not because we didnt want to be but because we wanted to be a family. We were afraid that if you knew it would put a wedge between you and Jack."

"What are you talking about?" Danny asked, worry starting to grow in the pit of his gut.

"The best way to explain this is to start from the beginning..." Danny opened his mouth to speack but his mothers raised hand silenced him, "Wait till I'm done before you speak. I want to make sure you understand before you say anything."

The boy nodded and leaned back in his chair, waiting for his mother to continue.

Maddie inhaled deeply to calm herself before starting, what Danny assumed was a long story.

"After Jazz was born me and your father sat down and had a discussion. We loved the child we had but we really wanted a boy too. So we waited until she was a few years older and we tried again.. Unfortunately there was a little hitch in the plan," Maddie explained, "You see, as inventors, Jack and I are constantly exposed to radiation and dangerous chemicals. And since I was almost always busy taking care of Jazz, Jack was alone most of the time to work on the inventions. This gave him more exposure to the radiation than me."

Danny was wondering where this was going as his mother continued.

"We tried for another year before we figured out that something was definately wrong. We went and took fertility tests and found out that Jacks sperm count was extremely low." Danny cringed at hearing about his dad's... sperm... Maddie ignored the motion and kept going, "We were devasted. We had promised Jasmine a little brother and we couldnt have one. Jack was heartbroken over it for months."

Danny was really starting to not like this story. But honoring his mothers wishes he didnt say anything.

"But one day I heard about these Sperm Banks that were being opened around the country and saw it as a perfect oportunity," His Mom told him with a half hearted smile, "I could have a baby! It took lots of convincing on my part but Jack finally decided that he was willing to go out on that limb and give it a shot. We spent months going through their files to find a donor we liked. There were athletes, doctors, regular joes... Eventually we found a decent donor with a history of achievments in inventing and technology. It seemed perfect for out family. He had no diseases, no mental problems, his looks weren't stellar but we didnt care if you looked like Brad Pitt or not. We would love you either way... Eventually we went to the clinic and, well, made you."
Danny was frozen in his chair... She wasnt saying what he thought she was saying...

"We would have told you sooner but we all knew how you probably would have taken it. But now that you've matured we thought it was time we told you. Especially since you will be heading off into the world soon. " Maddie reached over and put a comforting hand on his knee, "I understand if you're angry at us for not telling you sooner and waiting till now to do it. We just didnt want to send you out there not knowing where you come from."

Danny started in total shock at his mother, "I'm a test tube baby?..."

Maddie nodded once, "Something like that. But I assure you Danny I am your mother. I carried you and gave birth to you. And Jack may not have made you but he was always there for you more than I could have ever hoped for. We both did our best to be close to you and make you happy so that when we did tell you, you wouldnt think we were only taking care of you because we had to. We love you."

Danny breathed deeply and slowly stood. His eyes landed on the manilla folder and he stared at it. The information on the donor was in there... His biological father's identity...

The halfa backed up a few steps in silence. He didnt know what to think. They had lied to him his whole life?... That couldnt be true! It wasnt true!

Tears stung his eyes as he trand formed into ghost mode and flew up through the cieling quickly. He heard his mother shout after him but he didnt listen. He flew through the second story floor and into his room. He locked the door and fell to the floor. He pulled his knees up to his face and leaned his forehead on them.

It wasnt true! Jack Fenton was his dad. He always would be.
