Dani's Back

A/N: I do not own Danny Phantom.

Chapter Four

"Dani's our daughter," Danny told his and Sam's parents. The ghost girl sat between Danny and Sam on the couch. She hid her face in her father's shirt, not wanting to see the adults' reaction.

The adults looked shocked, not one of them speaking. Danny spoke again. "I know that's a lot to take in, but this paper should explain everything." He handed Vlad's notes over to his father. Maddie Fenton peered over her husband's shoulder, reading along. Both of their faces changed expression as they processed the information.

"I'm gonna kill him!" Jack Fenton stood up suddenly. "How could he think of doing that to a little girl!?"

"Jack sit down," Maddie told her husband. "There's nothing we can change about it now."

"Why are you all so calm about this!?" Sam's mother shouted. She pointed at Dani, who's face was still buried in her father's t-shirt. "The child is a strange creature, created in a lab. There is no possible was that Samantha has a daughter. It's all a ruse created by Ghost Boy over there." She directed her anger at Danny. "My daughter is no longer allowed to date you." Sam placed her hand on her daughter's back, then turned to face her mother. Her face was fierce, an expression even Danny hadn't seen her make before.

"It's not your decision," Sam said, glaring at her parents. "I will keep dating Danny, and Danielle is my daughter. If you don't want to be apart of our lives then fine. I'm moving out." Sam stormed out, her parents trailing behind her.

"Well that was fun," Danny said sarcastically. He looked down and saw Dani still buried in his shirt. "Hey Dani. It's okay. You can come out now." Danny spent the next few minutes coaxing his daughter to show her face again. Eventually, Dani lifted her face up and met Danny's blue eyes with her own.

"Do they hate me?" Danielle's bottom lip trembled. "The Mansons, I mean."

"No," Danny said quickly. "They're just in shock. How could they hate you? You're the sweetest and strongest little girl I know."

"Dad," Danielle protested, her face stained a light pink. "Stop. It's not true. You're just saying that."

"Yes it is," Danny retorted. "Other girls your age haven't gone through the things that you have. They wouldn't have handled it nearly as well as you did."

"Thanks Dad," Danielle said, slightly embarrassed. Danny wrapped his arms around the girl, drawing her into a hug.

Jack and Maddie watched this exchange silently. After a few minutes, Jack cleared his throat and the two jumped.

"Dad," Danny said. "I totally forgot you guys were sitting there."

"Dani looks exhausted," Maddie said. Danielle yawned as the day's events hit her. "You should take her up to your room so she can take a nap."

Danny looked down at his daughter. "Would you like to do that Dani?" The girl nodded sleepily. Danny picked Danielle up and carried her up to his room. He laid her on the bed and covered her with the blankets.

"Thanks Daddy," Danielle closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

A/N: I'm sorry it took so long to update. Life gets in the way of everything. I will try to finish the next chapter faster then this one. I've been working on this other story of mine called Light and Darkness. It's a Percy Jackson fanfic. It will be coming soon! Please review!
