Chapter 3: Dani's shopping trip
Dani's POV:
So much has happened to me today and I was happy. Danny took me into his house to live there, and now I was being taken up to a clothes store to get new clothes by Danny's girlfriend, at least that is who I thought that she was. I saw her get out of the car first and then she grabbed me. She carried me until we got to the entrance of the store, then she set me down.
"Stay by my side, okay Dani."
"Okay," I replied to her. I followed her around and I was amazed at all of the clothes that I saw. I continued to follow Amber for a while when a question came to my mind.
"So, Amber, are you Danny's girlfriend?" I asked.
"No, I am his wife. Danny and I are married." I was shocked. Danny was married. That means that if Danny does decide to keep me as a daughter, then I would have her as a mother. When I thought of that, I was extremely happy. Amber and I continued to walk until we arrived at the girls section.
"Okay, so what size do you wear?" Amber said as she looked around and was trying to guess my size. She looked around for a little bit when I saw her grab a dress from the rack.
"Here, try this on and let me know if it fits you. If it does, then I know what size you are." I grabbed the dress from Amber's hand and I went to the dressing room. I went to the dressing room and I tried on the dress. I took off the clothes that I was already wearing and I put on the dress. When I put it on, I was surprised to see that it did fit.
"So, does it fit Dani?" she asked me.
"Yes it does," I said to her and then in a whisper to me I said, 'mom'. I came out of the dressing room wearing the dress on me and when she saw me, she lit up.
"Oh, look at how beautiful you are. Since I know that it fits you, I can finally get you some new clothes." I continued to follow her when I stopped. One thing that I always told myself is to watch out for people who do many good things. Amber noticed that I stopped.
"Dani, why did you stop all of a sudden?" She asked me.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"Why am I doing what?"
"Why are you doing this for me?" I said looking at her.
"Dani, honey, the reason why I am doing this is because it is the right thing. Danny told me a long time ago that there is good in each and every person. He told me to also show people that you care as well. I am just looking out and helping out a person, a young beautiful person to point out." I smiled when she said that I was beautiful. I continued to follow Amber around the store for a couple of hours when all of a sudden, my feet started to hurt. Amber saw me messing with my feet and she picked me up and she carried me. I was a little happy when she did that. As she was carrying me, I fell asleep in her arms.
Amber's POV:
I was carrying Dani in my arms when all of a sudden, she fell asleep in my arms. It was too cute. I continued to carry her throughout the store and while I was paying for her clothes as well. I even was able to put the bags in the car while I was still holding her by using my powers. You see, I am a half-ghost like Danny. I used to be a full-ghost named Ember McLain, but now I am a halfa like Danny, my husband, and I go by Amber Fenton. Anyway, I continued to hold onto Dani in my arms while I was putting the bags away. When the bags were put away, I put Dani in the car. I carefully placed her so that way I would not wake her up. When I was certain that she was placed in the car, I started up the car and I drove back up home. It was a small drive to get back home anyways. As I pulled into the driveway, I saw Dani wake up.
"Well, look who is up. You are still tired. Let's get you inside so that way you can take a small nap."
"Okay mom." What I heard her say stopped me in my tracks.
'She just called me mom. I have to let Danny know.' I went to the back door and I carried her inside. When I arrived inside, I noticed that Vlad was still there and Danny was still talking to Vlad.
Danny's POV:
I was still talking to Vlad when Amber arrived home with a very tired Dani in her arms. I immediately went to Amber who was carrying Dani.
"She is sleeping Danny. Do not wake her."
"I won't." I was about to take her upstairs to put her to bed when Amber stopped me.
"Danny, there is something that I have to tell you."
"What is that Amber?"
"Dani just called me mom." That caught me off-guard, but I had to let her know what Dani called me.
"I believe it Amber, but you will not believe what she called me earlier today before you came home."
"What is that Danny?"
"She called me her dad. I went upstairs earlier today to see how she was doing with her shower and she called me dad, but she tried to correct herself by trying to say my name along with the name of dad."
"Wow, she must already like it her if she is already willing to call us her mom and dad. She is tired Danny. Go and put her to bed."
"But, I did not yet prepare a room for her yet. Can you hold onto her quick while I get her room settled?"
"No problem." I gave Dani to Amber and I flew upstairs, literally, to Jazz's room. Since my sister Jazz no longer lives here since she is now a student up at Yale studying Psychology and living on campus, her room was not used. When I arrived in Jazz's room, I quickly was moving around furniture to make it look like a girls room set for Dani's age. It did not take me long at all. When I was done, I flew downstairs to see Dani still sleeping in Amber's arms. I grabbed Dani and I flew upstairs to her new room and I placed her on the bed. As I was covering her up with the blankets, I looked at her and I saw how lovely she looked.
"Good night, my angel," I said as I left the room. I went downstairs and I saw Amber bringing in bags after bags of clothes.
"Wow Amber, you bought her a lot of clothes. I can see that you did not hesitate at all when it came to picking out her clothes."
"Hey, I wanted to make sure that she had enough clothes for any occasion that might come up."
"I understand Amber. I will help you with the bags, but we have to be quiet as to make sure that we do not wake up Dani."
"Understand Danny." Amber and I grabbed all of the bags and we arrived in Dani's room. Amber and I were starting to put away the clothes for Dani. Amber and I put away all of the clothes in just a matter of minutes. As we were putting them away, we heard Dani talking in her sleep.
"You are the best mom and dad any girl can ask for. I love you guys." Amber and I smiled when we heard her say that. The both of us looked at each other and we knew what we had to do. Amber and I left Dani's room so that way she can sleep. Amber went to the kitchen to start working on dinner while I went to Vlad to continue to talk to him. I was able to find Vlad in the living room.
"Vlad, there is a favor that I need done and you are the only person to make sure that it can be done."
"What is that Daniel?"
"I want you to make Dani my daughter, as well as Amber's daughter as well."
"Why the sudden favor Daniel?"
"The reason is because she needs someone in her life and I believe that Amber and I can make sure that she has the perfect life."
"Very well. I will make the proper arrangements. By the way, have you seen your parents?"
"No I have not. Why?"
"I saw them last week in the Ghost Zone. I know that you have been trying to find them in the Ghost Zone for a while now. One of my informants gave me their location. Here it is." I looked at the paper with the directions written on it and I stored it in my wallet. Finally, I was going to meet my parents, even though that they are dead. I could not wait to meet them. Vlad and I continued to talk to each other for about a half an hour when Amber announced that dinner was done. Vlad and I went to the kitchen and we saw that Amber prepared pasta, one of her favorite dishes to make. Vlad and I continued to eat the food that was before us and within minutes, we were full.
"That was good Amber. Thank you for making dinner."
"No problem Danny. I will just set this aside in case if Dani comes down to eat."
"Actually Amber, there is something that I want to talk to you about."
"What is that Danny?"
"Why don't we change her name? It will be highly confusing if her name and my name sound similar. I was thinking of a name to give her and I want to run it by you."
"What name is that Danny?"
"I was thinking about the name Dawn. What do you think?"
"Danny it is a beautiful name for her."
"Thank you. Vlad, do you think that when you have the documents prepared and everything that you can put that name down for her instead?" I said speaking towards Vlad direction.
"It will be no problem at all Daniel. As soon as I get home, I will start on the paperwork right away. As a matter of fact, it is starting to get late. I have to go. It was nice meeting you Daniel, and nice to meet you as well Amber. I will be back same time next week."
"Good bye Vlad." I saw Vlad leave my house. In a way, I could not wait for Dawn to be my, I mean, our new daughter. Amber looked at me and she just smiled. I grabbed her by the waist and I flew upstairs towards our bedroom. Amber and I did not leave the comfort of one another for the rest of the night. What I did not know was that tomorrow was going to bring a change that was going to bring Dawn close to us as a family.
