Excerpts from Danny's Journal
February 25
Sam and I were going to have twins. We were so excited, but we couldn't agree on what to name them. Sam had an idea to ask Jazz for suggestions since she had a name picked out for hers and Tucker's baby already. When she came home, I asked her what Jazz said. Sam looked at me and said that Jazz suggested since they were twins to name them after ourselves. We already knew that they were a boy and girl, so I agreed that we name our son Samuel James Fenton, and Sam wanted to name our daughter Daniela Elizabeth-Anne Fenton.
September 16
We welcomed our beautiful twins to the world today. Sam and I were amazed that Danni had my eyes and that Sammy had hers. Our parents wanted to see the twins so Sam allowed our moms to hold them for a bit. Mom held little Danni and Sam's mom Baby Sammy. They were shocked to hear that they were named after ourselves. Pamela assumed that she was holding Danni, until Sam pointed out that Sammy was our son's name and Danni was our daughter's.
October 25
Jazz and Tuck had their little boy today. Jazz told us that they had named the newborn Tucker Alexander Foley, but were going to call him Alex.
November 03
Jazz and Tuck came over with baby Alex today. While we were talking, Tucker brought up the question that we dreaded…He asked if the twins showed any signs of ghost powers. Jazz elbowed him and Sam said that it was way too early to tell. My parents had already asked us that at the hospital when the doctors were out.
****Next Year: ****
September 16
The Twins' first birthday
Still no sign of ghost powers from the twins. Sam and I are relieved. Jazz and Sam decided to do all the kids' parties together, so our little house was full on family celebrating the kids' birthdays.
October 30
Skulker came after me. I wish he'd give up. Sam was worried that he'd go after our babies, but apparently he either didn't know about them yet or thought that they weren't worth going after. Sam and I decided to keep the kids in on Halloween from now on.
December 25
Mom and Dad stopped by on their way to Jazz's and Tuck's. They gave the kids some presents and stayed for a cup of coffee.
July 4
We took the twins to the park for the fireworks. Danni screamed and grabbed her big brother when the display started. Sam thought it was adorable, and I had to agree because Sammy was our brave little boy.
September 16
Danni and Sammy's 2nd birthday
The twins had so much fun this year with their birthday. They decided that they were going to feed Dad his cake. Unfortunately, they wanted to give it to him all at once. Dad didn't mind because he enjoyed every second of it. Mom thought that it was so cute. Sam's mom practically fainted when she saw what the twins were doing. Sam told her that we weren't going to hinder their fun on their special day. After the party was over, Mom and Jazz helped us clean up the mess that the kids made.
May 17
Danni and Sammy went to my parents' for the day. Mom said that little Danni was complaining of a stomachache and wanted tea. She tried everything from peppermint (which Danni didn't like) to chamomile (Danni didn't like any of these either). Mom was going to give up until she saw my stash of cinnamon-apple and ginger teas. She made some ginger tea and gave it to Danni. She loved it and wanted more, but Mom only allowed her the one cup. I guess I know which of us Danni takes after.
August 25
Our little babies are now old enough to begin school. Sam and I enrolled them in Amity Elementary. Before their class started, Danni and Sammy were running through the hall when Danni tripped and hurt her knee. Of course Sammy felt her pain and started crying too. Since it wasn't serious, Alex's arrival got their attention. I couldn't stop laughing when Tuck said that Alex woke them up at four this morning. Poor Jazz came in with Alex's lunchbox and we dropped the kids off at their classroom. Poor Danni didn't want us to leave which got Sammy crying. Sam told the kids if they were good, there would be fresh cookies at home for all three of them. Danni stopped crying and asked if they would be peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. Sam said the she would make them their favorites. We went home to talk in private. Tucker asked if the twins had any signs and said that we should check their DNA just to be safe. Sam and I shot down that idea fast. We had agreed that there would be no "tests" done and if the twins ever did have powers we would start training them on how to control their abilities.
September 16
Sammy and Danni were so excited when we dropped them off at their class this morning. They were going to have a classroom birthday party and another at home. We were called to pick the twins and Alex up early because one of their classmates decided it would be fun to spill juice on Sammy's pants. Sammy told me that the kid's name was Dash Jr. Great, my old bully's got a son just like him who likes to pick on my kids. Sam got Sammy washed up and gave him a cookie for not stooping to the brat's level.
October 1
Dani showed up to visit. She hadn't been around for a awhile and was surprised to hear that we had kids. Jazz had volunteered to drop the twins off after school so there was no rush to get them. When Danni and Sammy came running from Jazz's through the backyard Dani was shocked that they were twins. I didn't get a chance to open the sliding door before Danni ran into it. Dani didn't know whether to laugh because Danni was so accident-prone or what. Fortunately Danni was ok, other than a small bruise on her cheek. Dani wanted to know which twin was "Danny". I told her that Danni was short for Daniela. Danni jumped onto Dani's lap and bombarded her with questions. Sammy was content just to play with his toys next to my chair. While Danni was asking her questions, Dani looked at me and I knew what she was going to ask. We waited until the kids were in bed to talk. Dani wanted to know if they had any powers and knew about ours. I told her that the twins had no signs of powers and that they knew about mine because when they couldn't sleep I would carry them "through" the house until they fell asleep.
August 30
There was a call from the school asking that we come get the kids. Apparently, there was some sort of activity there and they had to close early. Sam went to go pick up the twins and Alex, and came home looking a bit pale. I had been in the basement when she told me what had caused the school to close for a few days. From what was said I figured that Danni caused the short when her braid was pulled and Sammy blew the windows out when Mrs. Chan tried to move him thinking that he did it. This was the last thing that we wanted for our babies. Whatever powers they were going to get would start showing now. We have to find a way to explain this to them.
September 2
Sam and I sat with the twins in the basement to talk about the incident. I told them that what had happened was due to their emerging ghost powers. Just after I said that Danni went through the table and hit the floor, further showing our worst fears. Sam helped her up and I continued to explain things to them. Since there was no sign of their ghost-half, I would help them with what abilities were to show, which at the moment was intangibility. Just then Sammy disappeared and reappeared. Scratch that and add invisibility to the list.
