Well... Hai guise
Enjoy this chapter, it's a long one...
"Danny..."
"Don't say it."
"Say what?"
"That I should sleep, because I can't." It's only been a few days since Walker had told Danny about Mona escaping. It's been days and Danny was hoping Walker and his crew would have made some progress by now, but so far, nothing. Danny's been losing sleep just worrying about it, and would even go out and help whoever was patrolling search the city when it wasn't even his shift.
"You have to at least try," It was two in the morning, and Danny didn't even sleep a wink.
"I'm way too scared about this, there's no way I'll be able to relax until I find Mona." Sam sat up to look at Danny who was sitting at the edge of the bed.
"You don't think that I'm scared? You know what happened last time, of course I'm scared. I just don't think Mona is stupid enough to come directly in our house, especially with Leo nearby. You and I both know you'd rip her throat out." Danny sighed, his shoulders drooping.
"Leo is my biggest concern."
"Then bring him in here. Let him sleep with us until this whole thing is done with. Maybe it will help you sleep." Sam laid back down as Danny looked at their door. He got up and left the room, walking into the one right next to theirs, dimly lit with a night light. Leo was fast asleep in his bed, wearing an over sized T shirt and shorts as pajamas, and Danny couldn't help but to smile down on him; Leo was his little man.
He went over to his bed and picked him up so Leo's head was resting on his shoulder, then turned his night light off before switching from Leo's room back into his.
"Move over," Danny told Sam as he slipped into bed. Leo groggily crawled into the middle so he was between both parents before falling fast asleep again. Danny, surprisingly, did the same. He was quite more relaxed now that Leo was here, knowing he could protect him in case anything went wrong. He only slept six hours, waking up at eight o'clock in the morning. He groaned as he rolled over onto his stomach, burying his head in his pillow.
"Daddy," Leo's voice rang out from beside him, "you awake?" Danny could feel him stand up on the bed and lean his elbows on Danny's back, climbing on top of him. Danny sighed.
"Well, I am now." He sat up, but Leo still clung to his back, giggling as Danny stood up from the bed and carried him like that to his room. "Come on, we have to get you ready for Pre-K." Danny said as he crouched down to get Leo off his back.
"Today's blue day, 'member Daddy?" Leo asked. Danny grunted; who's idea was it to have 'color' days in Pre-K anyway?
"Right, right, blue day," He muttered as he went over to Leo's closet. He tossed him a blue T shirt and jeans and a sweatshirt before heading for the door to get ready for the day himself. "After you're dressed, brush your teeth, okay? Then come down stairs for breakfast."
"Okay." Danny left Leo's room and entered his, closing the door as he came in. He went over to his closet and put on black jeans and a white long sleeved T shirt where he pushed the sleeves back up to his forearms.
"'You taking Leo to school?" Sam asked groggily from the bed.
"Yup."
"Today's blue day."
"Yes, I know Darling," He said as he rolled his eyes.
"Snippy,"
"It's eight in the morning, I'm not all sunshine and happiness."
"When are you ever sunshine and happiness."
"Good point." He quickly slipped his sneakers on and looked over at Sam, walking over to the side of her bed. "So, want to tell me what happened with that altercation about Mona the other day?" He asked. She turned around to face him.
"Altercation? That was not an altercation."
"It sure wasn't friendly." She sighed and turned back around so her back was to him.
"It was nothing, just let it go." She said.
"Well, you obviously can't let it go so I want to know what's up." She sighed and sat up, turning so she was facing him, even if her gaze fell to her hands, where she was fiddling with her fingers.
"You didn't believe me about the whole Mona thing. Twice. And I trust you so easily."
"I trust you, Sam. I trust you with my life, you know that. The Mona thing was just hard to believe because I thought she was gone for good last time. And I mean, even if I didn't show it, I was nervous about our wedding. I thought you might get cold feet and the paranoia got the best of me. I never want to falter your trust." He said. He couldn't believe that she had bottled up all of that inside of her for all this time, and it was all his fault. He really should have trusted her, now, this will always be hanging over his head. "Are we good?" He asked, holding his fist out. She looked at his fist before cracking a small smile, hitting her fist against his in a fist pump.
"Yeah, we're good." He smiled and leaned down, giving her a quick kiss goodbye.
"I'll see you after I'm done patrolling." He said.
"Bye, I love you."
"I love you too." He phased through the floor and landed in the kitchen where Leo was already, eating a granola bar at the kitchen table. "Are you ready to go?" He asked.
"I'm eating," He stated.
"Bring it in the car with you, let's go." Danny grabbed Leo's school folder and they headed out to his car where Danny strapped Leo in his booster seat in the back before heading to the driver's seat. It only took ten minutes to get to his school, so he parked not too far away and brought Leo inside where all the other kids were. When Danny got to the door, he signed Leo in but noticed the teacher was absent and was replaced with a new women, one with blond hair and blue eyes.
"What happened to Ms. Netfield?" He asked.
"She's out sick, I'm Ms. Willer, I'll be filling in." Danny was about to say more, but a blue mist escaped from his mouth, distracting him.
"Sorry, I got to go," He made his way through the crowd of other parents and went back to the parking lot where Bullet was. Danny almost glared at him and pushed him back by his chest until they were by his car. "Don't show up in a public place, especially if there's children." He said.
"Sorry, but it's your shift." Bullet said.
"Any progress?"
"None."
"Seriously? Where the hell is she hiding?"
"It's not like she's a ghost, we can't track her or anything." He pushed the Fenton Thermos into Danny's chest, just in case a ghost showed up when he was patrolling. "Good luck." Bullet flew off, probably going back to Walker, wherever he was. Danny sighed and turned to Phantom before he to flew off, ready to patrol.
As Ms. Willer watched Danny fly off from the window, she looked back at the kids in class who were busy drawing and talking. She spotted Leo at his table where two little girls came up to him and started to talk to him. Like father like son. When they left, Willer went over to him and knelt down beside him.
"So, your daddy is Danny Phantom?" She asked.
"Yeah," Leo answered.
"What's your Mommy's name?"
"Sam." Willer mentally cursed. So they were still together, that certainly was going to make this harder. She just nodded at Leo as he looked up at her.
"What are you drawing?" She asked.
"My Uncle Tucker. He loves when I make him drawin's,"
"I bet."
Danny searched everywhere; neighborhoods, shopping centers, he even went over another town just in case she was playing it safe, but by the end of his shift, he couldn't find anything. He waited for one of Walker's guards to take his place before he went back to Leo's Pre-K to pick him up, his hopes low in not making any progress.
"Mr. Fenton," Ms. Willer started as he came up to the door.
"Yes?" He asked.
"I don't think your son has taken a liking towards me. He's acting out in class and not listening, unless, he's always like this..." She started. Danny had to stop his jaw from dropping. Leo was acting like that? He's never acted like that a day in his life.
"My son?" Danny asked.
"Yes." She confirmed as Leo went up to Danny. "We're going to have to talk about it later. I'm here until five, stop by whenever you have time," She said as she went back into the class room. Danny's jaw unhinged by then as he led Leo outside to the car. Before he opened the car door to get in, he turned to look at Leo.
"You're acting bad in school?" He asked.
"No," Leo said.
"Your teacher just told me you were bad."
"No, Daddy, I was good." Danny shook his head and opened the car door for Leo to get into the back seat where his booster seat was.
"I'm going to tell Mommy you're lying then you're really going to be in trouble."
"But Daddy, I'm not lyin', I was good!" Danny didn't know what to believe. Leo has always been a good kid, he never gave anyone a problem, especially in school. But even if Leo was telling the truth, why would a teacher lie about a four year old? He didn't know, but he would find out in a few hours.
