I wonder how many of you read the original version of this I wrote a year or 2 ago. If you didn't, welcome, if you did, welcome back, and I dearly hope you agree with me that this version is MUCH better :)

It's a short chapter, and I apologize. But I wanted to get this up quickly. This is merely an editation of the old version (as will the next chapter) so I'm kind of keeping myself in a box on not writing what my creative mind is yelling at me to write. So please, ignore/tell me about mistakes. The 3rd chapter will be better than the first 2, I promise.

So, enjoy everybody!

Daniel Fenton gazed fondly down at his beautiful newborn daughter. She had just stopped crying and was sleeping peacefully, cuddled up against her father. Her hands were curled into tiny fists, her mouth an 'o' as she yawned widely. She had only been born a few minutes ago and she already had the half ghost wrapped around her little fingers.

Danny walked slowly, but steadily, over to his wife, Samantha Fenton, careful not to disturb the baby in his arms. He sat on the hospital bed and turned to Sam, handing their daughter over to her. She nuzzled the little girl's mop of black hair with her nose.

"What should we name her?" Danny asked quietly, so as not to disturb the soundly sleeping child.

"I'm not sure. I was going to talk to your mom first, but you haven't called her yet, have you?"Sam replied hesitantly.

"Are you kidding me? She would run over every vehicle on her way here and I don't think you want the cause of a bunch of people's deaths on your shoulders, do you?" Danny joked.

Sam ignored his teasing and continued on, "Well I have been thinking of a name and it appears to suit her very well." She hesitated.

"Well," Danny prompted. "Tell me. I bet it'll be great!" Sam simply rolled her eyes and answered, "Lilith Aya Fenton."

Danny paused for a moment, thinking it over, mentally voicing it in his head while watching the girl in Sam's arms breathe steadily. "It's great," he murmured, running his fingers over the soft patch of hair on the head of 'Lilith'.

"Perhaps Lily for short?" He proposed hesitantly, to which Sam immediately agreed, to his relief.

He glanced around the dark, plain hospital room, wandering over to the window and basking in the warmth of the only sunny spot in the whole room.

"Do you mind if I step outside for a minute? It's nice and warm," he requested quietly, to which Sam simply replied with a nod.

He strode over to his wife and daughter kissed them each quickly before phasing through the wall to the outside. He glanced around and made sure no one was around. Everyone was enjoying the sun, so this particular patch of shade was deserted. He became visible and tangible again and stepped out of the shade into the bright sunlight. He breathed in the sweet smell of spring. He thought the date to himself. 'April 3rd. So perfect...'

His phone buzzed after several minutes of soaking up the sun's warmth. "Okay, come back in, I'm getting tired." Danny chuckled in response and snapped the phone shut with a flick of his wrist. He glanced around to make sure no one was there and then phased through the hospital wall. Sam blinked at him tiredly and he walked up to the bed.

He gently took Lily and squeezed Sam's hand before she leaned back on the hospital bed. Her even breath signaled that she had fallen asleep and he tip-toed to the other side of the room so as not to disturb her slumber. He rocked Lily back and forth, listening to the breathing in the room. He hummed a little lullaby that gave him a sense of security. He exhaled and out with his breath came the little mist that signaled a ghost. He groaned quietly.

'Not here. Not now. If they so much as lay a hand on Lily, I will-' Before he could think of a good enough threat, he transformed into his alter ego and sat down while holding Lily with one hand so he could pull out his phone once again.

He dialed in Fenton works and after 3 rings a familiar, but unexpected, voice answered.

"Jazz? Is that you?"

"Hey little brother!"

"I didn't know you were going to be in Amity Park! Why didn't you tell us?"

"A little surprise visit. I stopped by your house earlier today but no one was home."

"Yea we were… a little busy." He chuckled awkwardly. His family still didn't know about the new addition to their family.

"I see. So there must've been another reason for your calling besides just to talk about nothing, am I right?"

"Like always Jazz. Where's mom?" Jazz chuckled "Right next to me trying to eavesdrop on us." An indignant shout made its way over the phone, obviously Maddie Fenton.

Danny cracked a smile and asked Jazz to hand over the phone. There was a bit of bumping but after a second or two, Danny's mom's voice greeted him.

"Mom, I have a bit of an emergency. I'm stuck in the hospital an-" Maddie interrupted him.

"Hospital? Why are you at the hospital? Did you get hurt? Is Sam okay? Are you okay? Should I come?"

Now it was Danny's turn to interrupt. "Mom, everything is okay. Sam and Lily are doing just fine."

"Lily?" Maddie inquired curiously.

"My daughter."

"Awwww her name is Lily! That's such a cute name! What does she look like?" Maddie asked excitedly, and Danny could hear the smile in her voice.

"Well, that's just her nickname. Her real name is Lilith Aya Fenton." Danny told her, smirking, and unconsciously holding Lily a little tighter.

"How adorable! So, did you need something?"

"Well my ghost sense just went off and I need you to come find and get rid of it. I don't want to leave Lily and Sam all alone."

"A little protective now are we?"

"Mom," Danny growled, "Focus."

"Okay, okay, I'm on my way." Maddie replied coolly, sounding amused.

"Don't run over any innocent bystanders, ok?" Danny warned his mom, to which he received an assuring "Don't worry!"

The line clicked and Danny slipped his phone into his pocket. Suddenly the roof began groaning. Danny's head snapped up, and watched worriedly as spiderweb-like cracks began to spread across the ceiling. Danny duplicated himself, and put a protective field over Sam. The original Danny turned himself and Lily intangible. The roof caved in and crashed down around them.

Danny looked up and saw his arch enemy, Vlad Plasmius. "Well what do we have here?" he said menacingly, with a smirk maliciously spread across his face, hate glittering in his eyes.

"Plasmius." Danny spat the name out with resentment, edging closer towards Sam.

"Oh, there's no need to worry about your dear wife, Daniel. I won't hurt her…badly." Vlad's smirk grew in size, twisting and contorting in rhythm to the waves of anger flowing through him.

Danny tensed at Vlad's statement and darted to stand in front of Sam, clutching Lily protectively.

'Damn you Plasmius. Why did you pick today of all days?'


I once again apologize for the shortness. The chapters will get longer, I promise.

I, however, cannot promise steady updates. They come whenever I get inspiration for this story, so just roll with it, ok? And I also have other (more popular) stories to update, as well as new stories that I want to start up, so this one isn't much of a priority, sadly.

Reviews prove to be great inspiration! So if you want these cookies (-waves around your favorite cookie-) , you have to review! :D

Until Next Time!
