I DO NOT OWN DANNY PHANTOM.

Which Walk of Life

Possibility 5

"Come on, Tyra," Danny cooed watching his 11-month-old daughter through the video camera.

Tyra twisted her upper body towards her father still clinging to the couch. She gave him a four-toothed smile and stretched a hand towards him. Tyra lost her balance and fell on her butt.

"Like most kids her age, she won't do much in front of that camera," Danny's wife said matter-of-factly.

"Thanks for bursting my bubble, Val," Danny half-teased turning off the video camera with a beep. At the sound, Tyra started to crawl towards her dad.

"What did I tell you?" Valerie said smugly.

"It still doesn't make it better," Danny said half way between a pout and a tease. Danny lifted the toddler onto his lap as he sat down on a chair. He lifted her shirt and gave her belly a raspberry. Tyra squealed and giggled hysterically as Danny started an assault of raspberries and tickles.

"Well, I have to go to my job interview now," Valerie said grabbing her handbag from near the door.

Danny carried Tyra over to Valerie and whispered hotly in her ear, "You can be late if you want to be a bad girl."

"Not in front of Tyra," Valerie said blushing and giving their daughter a quick kiss.

Danny pouted as Valerie grabbed her keys. When she turned and saw his face, she gave him a full kiss. "We can do something later."

"Say bye to Mummy, Tyra," Danny said waving his daughter's arm. Tyra babbled something that sounded like 'bah' or 'bye'.

"I'll be back by three. Try not to keep her awake through her nap again," she said starting walk down the path.

"Yes, Mum," Danny teased. He waved Tyra's arm to Valerie as they watched her drive away. "Lunch time."

Tyra smiled and giggled as Danny took her into the kitchen and put her into her highchair. Danny put a bowl of grapes and custard in front of her and fed her the first bite and let her eat the rest herself. Danny seated himself beside her with his own meal.

When Tyra had eaten all the grapes, she started pounding the custard with the spoon, splashing custard all over herself. Danny chuckled, which drew Tyra's attention to him. She grinned cheekily and threw the spoon at her father.

On instinct, Danny went intangible, letting the spoon pass through him. Tyra stared in awe and Danny froze, realizing what he just did.

Tyra often threw her cutlery, she liked to giggle at the surprised yells. But Danny had never used his ghost powers unintentionally in his house. It was too dangerous with Val still a ghost hunter and not knowing Danny was half ghost.

Tyra broke out into a huge grin and picked up her bowl. She tipped the custard all over herself but she went intangible leaving not a spec on her. She continued to grin at Danny while he was panicking.

'Oh shit, oh shit. I knew this was gunna happen, but oh shit.'

Danny stood up and grabbed Tyra's hands. "No, no, no. Don't do that. You'll get Daddy in trouble. Oh shit."

Tyra looked up at him confused.

'Oh shit. I'll have to keep an eye on her. When Val finds out I have to head for the hills. What about Tyra? I'm screwed.'
