(A/N: This is the sequel to my fanfic "Through Their Eyes", which involved Dani Phantom and Thomas Plasmius (My OC) getting kidnapped during "D-Stabilized". Mind you, this will be graphic with mild language, so kindly leave if you have no interest in mpreg or childbirth. You have been warned. No characters besides Thomas and Tori belong to me. They all belong to Butch Hartman)
Thomas Plasmius lied back in his human form on the uncomfortable bed in the fairly small apartment that he and Dani were hiding out in. But he didn't care at the moment about how uncomfortable the bed was. No, the only thing he cared about was the baby that grew inside of him. He was only six months pregnant, but he was eagerly awaiting the nine month mark. He awaited it for two reasons: Dani would no longer have to steal clothing for him to accommodate his ever-increasing size. And he would finally be holding his baby girl in his arms. So for now, he would just lie back and bask in his pregnancy.
"You take a lot out of me, you know that, right?" Thomas asked the baby, who had started up her daily routine of kicking at his insides. It wasn't painful, but it felt nice. Like butterflies in his stomach. Plus, he knew that she was alright if she was kicking, so he didn't have to worry. But with pregnancy came fatigue and extreme hunger. If it wasn't for Dani and her helping him out, Thomas had no idea how he would have survived. He felt bad that she had to steal food for him, but if it meant the safety of his child, then he wouldn't complain.
Just as he had sat up to go to the bathroom, his ghost sense was triggered, a puff of cold mist escaping his mouth. Somehow, it was familiar, and yet…Sensing that he was in danger, Thomas immediately clasped his hands over his belly in a protective manner, his eyes glowing red and dangerous. The child inside kicked wildly, obviously sensing her father's fear. At that moment, the intruder made his appearance. The intruder was a metallic being, his hair consisting of green flames, his matching eyes burning into Thomas' red irises. Thomas recognized him as Skulker, the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter…And Vlad's personal lackey.
"Skulker! What are you doing here?!" Thomas cried out as he transformed into his ghost form. He still had his hands held over his belly. He had a feeling he knew what Skulker was there for. And Skulker quickly confirmed his suspicions by grinning at the teenage boy with pure malice on his metallic face.
"I'm here to make a special delivery." He said, aiming his right hand at Thomas. Thomas knew what was happening, but he wasn't fast enough as a glowing net was quickly secured over him, trapping him inside. He thrashed and clawed, trying to tear at the fibers, but to no avail. That net was ghost proof, and knowing Skulker, he had one more surprise in store for Thomas. The hunter always did for his prey.
"Who sent you?!" Thomas cried out, knowing full well who had sent his captor. Skulker simply held out his left hand this time, pointing his index finger at the helpless ghost.
"Your Father." He said, a loud bang erupting from his finger. A sharp pain erupted in Thomas' neck as he cried out in pain, grabbing at whatever had caused the pain. What he held in his hand was a small dart, a glowing green feather jutting out of the end. In an instant, Thomas' vision began to swim as fatigue took over, his heartbeat slowing down. His child's kicking slowed down and finally stopped as Thomas fell over onto his side, still trapped inside of the net.
"You son of a b…" Thomas whispered as Skulker heaved the boy and net over his shoulder.
"Don't be so concerned. I made sure that this tranquilizer won't hurt your child." Skulker said as he phased up and out of the apartment. But Thomas hadn't heard a word he had said, for he had already passed out from the drug. He had no clue where he was going or what he was going to face…
