Summery:

After discovering he has a son, Nicolai Technus couldn't have been happier. He and Danny bonded and became as close as father and son could be over the years. But in a weak moment, Technus made a wish that he could have done more for Danny growing up. He never expected that a mischievous genie would hear it and make it true. Next thing Nicolai knew he was given the life he always wanted and had taken the place of Jack Fenton as Maddie's husband and the father of her children. He was given a life where he was always there and the perfect father. But he and Danny know the truth of how things are supposed to be, even if everyone else in the world does not. But now that he has been given everything he's ever wanted, but will he be able to give it up to set things right again?

Chapter 1:

Life and Loss of Nicolai Technus

In the following years after the rescue mission, the world seemed to be at peace. The Tehnus/Fenton family could not have been happier. Nicolai had created a solid place for himself in the family and in his son's heart that three years before he never would have imagined. Life was bliss.
Danny had enrolled in a local college so he and Sam could stay together. The Mansons took a while to adjust to the fact that their daughter was having the child of a half ghost, but they embraced the idea. They even agreed that adopting the child out was probably the best thing they could do for the unborn boy. And even when Tucker went away to the college of his dreams, Danny and Sam stayed together and even got married.
The wedding was incredible. Technus had mentally recorded every detail of his life with the Fentons so he would never lose decorations were white, green, and black and the flowers had been imported from the Ghost Zone. The entire courtyard where the wedding had been held glowed with ghostly light. He could still remember how dashing Danny looked in his black tuxedo and how beautiful his daughter-in-law looked in her flowing black and green gown. Unorthodox as it was, she still looked like a vision of loveliness. And the fact that she was five months pregnant... Well the pictures were interesting.
Clockwork and Dan had even arrived at the wedding and the time keeper even shared a dance with the bride. Dan borrowed Valerie from Tucker, who had brought her as his date since they were coming from the same area, and proceeded to freak her out throughout the dance. Danny danced with his mother then Sam's mother as per tradition.
Nicolai had stayed in the shadows most of the night and found himself lost for words when Maddie Fenton held out her hand for a dance. Technus took it hesitantly, glancing at Jack nervously. The large man was smiling and bobbing to the music in a dorky fashion and didn't seem to mind. He was preoccupied by talking to his daughter, Jazz fenton.
Maddie put her arms around his thick neck and they danced on the floor, feet away from Danny and Sam. The woman's dress was a pale blue and had straps that tied around her neck, leaving her shoulders and back bare. As if this hadn't been awkward enough.
"Can you imagine that about a year ago, you were still trying to kill Danny?" The ginger asked with a smile. How she could ask that so easily was beyond him.
Technus smiled back as he held her waist, "Yes, it is hard to believe... Thank you for inviting me into your family so easily."
"It's your family too, Nicky." Maddie told him sweetly, "Speaking of your family, why haven't we heard anything about them? Wouldn't you have wanted them here? I know Danny did."
Nicolai frowned slightly, "I... He never told me."
The woman shrugged a bare shoulder, "I'm sure he just forgot. This has been a fairly big deal for him. He's been very stressed. And with everything you've done for him lately, I'm sure he didn't want to impose."
Nicolai lowered his head and glanced over at his son under his black shades. The boy was glowing with pride and happiness and he spun across the floor with his, quite literally, blushing bride. Just like both of his fathers, Danny had no moves. The soon to be father couldn't have looked happier. Even if he was going to be giving away his first born in a matter of months.
Another thing the two would have in common soon. Their first borns would be raised by another family... And knowing Technus, he wasn't going to have anymore.
"Don't look so glum, Nicky. You know Danny loves you, " She told him, tilting his chin back up, "I'm sure he'll ask you to meet them when he's ready.. Or when he feels like you are."
Technus nodded but said nothing to her. They finished their dance, and the rest of the wedding went off without a hitch. Tucker Foley gave a speech about how long he'd known Danny and all the things they used to do together. It was goofy yet touching as the boy recalled all the things that they got away with and all the memories they made.
Jasmine aslo gave a speech on her life since she got a little brother and how proud she was of Danny. She recalled all the times that she was scared for his life and all the times he pulled through even when the odds were stacked against him. Tears fell from her eyes as she wished that Danny and Sam would have the best future and have children just like her little brother. It even made Danny shed a tear.
And then everyone went home. The wedding ended, the decorations were taken down and life went on. Everyone went back to work, school and their lives as if nothing had changed. But everything had changed.
Now three years later, Nicolai Technus was a grandfather of a beautiful, blond, little boy being raised by the alternate future self of his son and the all seeing master of time. Danny Fenton was happily married and building a very successful life for himself and was even in the process of having his first home built. The boy, no, the man was now the official liaison between the ghost and human world. He worked under Walker to keep the peace between humans and ghosts. Samantha Fenton was studying to become a gothic designer. She already had her own line of asylum themed dresses that were selling like hotcakes to the gothic crowds.
Life was like nothing Technus had ever been a part of. His father and mother were wonderful, and loved him with all their hearts, but their home was nothing like this. The Fenton household was brimming with action and life and there was always something to do and someone to see. Ghostly and human visitors frequently stopped in to see the family, bring their young children over to meet their friends. Even Walker and Spectra had settled down. They now had a little red haired girl they named Carol. If three years ago some one had told Technus that Walker was a good Dad, he would have laughed till his head fell off. But apparently anything is possible with love.
Jack Fenton and Nicolai had gotten on closer terms, Jack finally being able to accept that Technus was in fact a ghost. When the news was first broken, Jack thought it was a prank of some kind. It took Technus possessing their house to get the point across. The large, dim man was wary at first, but his already formed friendship with him helped him to overcome it. Mr. Fenton never stopped apologizing for the ghost hunting. For about a year he would apologize at every get together. Technus accepted his apology and told him it didn't bother him.
Danny had still not met Nicolai's parents though. He had never even asked or brought it up. The father couldn't help but wonder why. Did he think that it would end badly? Was there some other reason?
Nicolai hadn't seen his family since he died. He stayed invisible at his own funeral because he saw how hurt they were at his death and how they were praying that he had gone to heaven. He watched as they prayed that he would reunite with his grandparents in the great beyond and realized he could never show them he was still around. How could he face them while he was still bound to earth? What could he say? He had no explanation for why he was a ghost or why he hadn't passed on. It would have broken his mother's heart to see him as a ghost. A ghost with green skin, red eyes and white hair. He was no angel...
The hurt had driven him into madness for years, where all he seemed to care about was becoming more powerful. After seeing his family in so much pain over him, he vowed to himself that he wouldn't let his own emotions cloud his life. He didn't want to hurt anymore. So he locked his emotions away. That is, until he found that boy again.
"I'M YOUR SON"
Those words unlocked every emotion, every heartbreak, and every loss Nicolai had ever felt. Three syllables broke the master of technology like nothing else could. It seemed that his mind had crashed and could not reboot.
suddenly his after life made sense. Some people say that ghosts exist because they have unfinished business on earth. Maybe this was his unfinished business. Maybe he was around because some part of him, the part of him that wanted a family, knew he had a child out there somewhere. He hadn't donated his sperm for no reason. He wanted some family to thrive because of him, and one had. And it was continuing to thrive because of his DNA, his son, his grandson and the future generations of Fentons.
But there was still a part of him that hurt. A part of him that knew that when he was gone, the Technus name would die with him. Nicolai was the only boy out of his four siblings and he had no uncles on his father's side to carry the name. A sad and depressing thought.
But living in the dark parts of life was going to get Nicolai no where. He toughed it out and saw to it that he made the best of this life he'd been given. He would make frequent visits to Danny and Sam's apartment, bringing a gift almost every time. He often visited Clockwork's tower to see how his grandson was doing. Dan had even finally called him 'Dad' for the first time within the last year! And little Aaron Leon Fenton was growing up so fast. he was two years old and so big. His little blond curls were growing out and were just as messy as his father's hair. His eyes however were from his mother. Big, beautiful violet eyes full of life and wonderment.
Nicolai yearned for the days when he could have looked into eyes like that and see himself in them. A time when he could have held a little one of his own and called them 'son'. He wanted those memories that Dan and Clockwork were making with their child.
But that ship had sailed. Danny wasn't a child anymore and was past the age of being coddled. Danny Fenton, halfa hero, was twenty one, married, and had already fathered a child. The best times were already in the past. His son was grown now and no longer needed help from his old man. The only thing to do now, was look to the future in hopes that life would give Technus another purpose for his after life.
And one day a ghost came to him while he was roaming through the streets of the human world. A female ghost who had fame in the Ghost Zone and the human realm. He had stopped outside of the Fenton's house to relax and watch cars. Every now and then he would switch the radio stations of the cars to thrasher metal music at high volume just to watch the people freak out.
"Hello, Ember." Technus sighed as he leaned on the brick wall of Fenton works.
"Why the long face?" She asked, hovering slightly above him wearing a smirk and her signature guitar, "Well, longer than usual that is."
"No reason." He shrugged, "Just a bit tired."
"Family life bringing you down?" She asked cocking her head with the same smirk, "That's why I left it behind years ago. Way too stressful."
In the last 3 years word had more than gotten out. The news that Danny Phantom was the son of an "insane super-villain bent on world domination" spread like wildfire after they officially announced it. It didn't surprised Technus that Ember knew and would bring it up. His relation to Danny had even scared some lesser ghosts away from him.
"It's not that." Technus assured her, "Can I ask you something?"
Ember Mclain floated down to his level and crossed her arms over her chest, "It's not going to be one of those philosophical questions is it?"
"Well, have you..." Technus thought for a moment before continuing, "Have you ever wished your life had turned out differently than it has? That you could go back and change it for the better?"
Ember frowned and stared at him for a moment. Her purple pained lips pressed into a flat line and she opened her mouth just to shut it again. She began to chew her lower lip thoughtfully.
"I guess everyone has," she replied after about two minutes of silence. "I don't know anyone who hasn't wished they could go back and correct their mistakes. I know I have more than once. I mean, look at me."
Technus gave her a quick once over. She was young when she died and was going to stay that way forever. Nicolai had been in his thirties and would be the same as well. Judging by the lyrics of her song, that the man would deny ever listening to, she had been hurt by a lover sometime before she died.
"It's not all rock and roll for me. I have to live with the fact that I'm going to be like this forever. My life force depends strictly on the love of people I don't even know and because of my fame, I don't know who are my real friends and who aren't," The girl admitted, "Even when I was dating Skulker I think he only liked me for my voice. He never seemed interested in ME."
"Skulker's never been one to care about the inside." Technus told her with a small smile, "Why do you think he skins animals rather than keeping them?"
Ember smirked at him, "So what's your problem, grouch? Your life seems to be going pretty damn well! What could you want to change?"
Technus slumped further and allowed himself to slide down the wall to sit on the ground, "It's not that I'm not happy with my life. I really do love it... But I just wish... I dunno. That I had more memories of it. Like a real father should."
Ember nodded slowly, "Right... Like what?"
Technus smiled as he remembered all the times his own father had been with him, "Like his first words, teaching my child to ride a bike... Those kinds of things. I guess I just wish I could have been there for him rather than.. not."
"I've never seen you this sentimental before..." Ember knelt in front of him with a frown, "It's kinda freaking me out."
Technus rolled his eyes behind his shades, "Teenagers... Think all adults have no lives outside their jobs..."
"Sorry, It's just odd... Skulker always told me you were a whack job," The girl smiled sheepishly, "I figured that meant you never had a soft side."
"We can't all be made of steel like Skulker." Technus scoffed, crossing his arms over his bent knees.
He looked to his left and saw a couple of parents walking down the street. Each of them was holding a hand of a small child as it asked them repeatedly where they were going. The master of Technology smirked a bit but it disappeared when a hand touched his elbow. He looked back to Ember to see her smiling faintly.
"I'm sure you'll get your wish eventually." She told him with a surprisingly gentle voice for her demeanor, "Ghosts can live forever after all."
Technus smiled and patted her tiny hand softly, "Thank you... I guess only forever is what I can count on."
Ember returned the smile and stood. She bid him farewell and deleted herself away in a puff of theatrical smoke. Technus shook his head and stayed where he was, watching the cars drive by.
Floating atop Fenton works, a mischievous Genie waited in silence. A catlike grin formed on her face and energy formed around her outstretched hands. Her words came out as little more than a hiss, never even noticed by her target.
"So you have wished it, so shall it be!"
