Chapter 7: Month 4 and 'One Love'

I'm back and ready with another chapter. After another minor break and the start of a new story, I feel refreshed enough to write for this story again. Before I dive into this chapter, I feel the need to address one aspect of this chapter. To any readers, especially those of the Caribbean islands and Jamaica, I humbly apologize if I brutally stereotype your speech. That said, I do not own Danny Phantom or 'One Love' by Bob Marley. R&R and Enjoy.

***5pm, Montego Bay, Jamaica***

Danny and Desiree were relaxing in beach chairs, enjoying their Caribbean honeymoon. Desiree was enjoying a Hurricane while Danny was attempting to soak up the sun in his temporary human form. During their time in Jamaica, Danny' stomach had expanded greatly. Originally, Desiree thought it was because of all the island food Danny had been eating while they were vacationing. As the days went by, she realized that it was the baby growing. While she expected this to happen, Danny didn't take this so well. At first he had to deal with the added stress this added to everyday tasks. Add in the raging hormones and Danny was a 24/7 ticking time bomb of emotions.

As Desiree took another sip of her tropical drink, she turned to see an annoyed Danny staring back at her.

"Something wrong, sweetie?" she asked.

"No, nothing is wrong." Danny said, though the irritated look remained.

"Really, because your face says otherwise." she replied.

"Fine. You want to know what my problem is?" Danny asked, sitting up in his chair.

"I would certainly help me figure out how I can help you." Desiree sighed.

"Why is it that you can just sit there, sipping on Hurricanes and daiquiris while I grow fatter by the day?"

Trying to find the right words to say so as not to upset him any further, Desiree replied, "Well, you did say I was allowed to enjoy myself as long as I didn't get shit faced drunk. As for your expanding belly, that is because of all the food you've been eating and the pregnancy."

"Well, if it was just the pregnancy and the food, then why have I been growing so big in such a short about of time?"

"All women are different when it comes to pregnancy." Desiree shrugged. Unfortunately, this was the wrong thing to say. Danny stood up and yelled, "I'm not just any woman. I am you! You should know how your own body works!"

"Shhh. Keep it down." Desiree said, trying to calm him while passersby gave them curious looks.

"No! I will not keep it down. You are just as responsible for this baby as I am." Danny replied.

"I realize that Danny. But you need to calm down. You are making a scene over nothing." Desiree said, hoping that by agreeing with him, he would calm down. Unfortunately, her continued attempts at trying to calm him pushed him over the edge.

"Fine. If you don't like me causing a scene, then I guess I'll leave you to enjoy your drinks." He said before vanishing in a poof of smoke. Desiree just sat there, annoyed that he would simply leave her there.

"I'll give him his space. I'm sure that he'll return after a couple of minutes." she said to herself before returning to her chair and enjoying her drink. After fifteen minutes and still no sign of Danny, Desiree began to get nervous.

"Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh to him. Hell, he must be the first man to ever have to deal with something as complicated as this." she sighed.

As fifteen minutes turned into half an hour, she returned to their hotel, hoping that he was there. She was sad and worried to discover that he was not there. After calling Fenton Works and finding out that he did not return home, she was scared where he could be, if he was in trouble, and whether the baby was safe.

Desperately, she began to fly around the island. She first searched the port but could not find him. Next she tried the market but still no sign of him, as minutes turned into hours, she began to cry, not wanting to lose both her love and their child over a stupid argument. As night fell, she began to lose hope, slowly flying over the beach back towards their hotel. As she made her way back, she noticed a small bonfire burning with a small group of people around it. They appeared to be enjoying the night and singing. Thinking she may as well try and see if they might have seen Danny, she landed a distance away from them and transformed back into Danny's human form before making her way towards the bonfire. As she got closer, she could hear the group singing 'One Love'.

One love, one heart

Let's get together and feel all right

Hear the children crying

Hear the children crying

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right.

Let's get together and feel all right.

As she got a better look at the people, she noticed they were not human but ghosts. Entering the light of the bonfire, she saw none other than the ghost of Bob Marley, singing and enjoying himself with the rest of the ghosts present.

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks

There is one question I'd really love to ask

Is there a place for the hopeless sinner

Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?

Believe me

One love, one heart

Let's get together and feel all right

As it was in the beginning

So shall it be in the end

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right.

Let's get together and feel all right

Looking at the rest of the group, she broke out in tears of joy as she saw Danny, out of his temporary human body, enjoying himself and singing along with the reggae legend. Running over, she threw her arms around him and pulled him into a passionate kiss.

"Desiree! Glad you could join us." Danny said, happy that his wife had found him.

"Danny, I'm so sorry about our argument earlier. I didn't know it would bother you that much."

Danny simply laughed and gave her a peck on the cheek. "You did nothing wrong. If anything, I should be the one apologizing to you for yelling at you like that." Giggling, they sat down on the sand and listened to Bob continue his song.

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon

So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom

Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner

There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation

One love, one heart

Let's get together and feel all right.

I'm pleading to mankind

Oh, Lord Whoa.

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right.

Let's get together and feel all right.

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right.

Let's get together and feel all right.

As the song ended, most of the ghosts began to disappear before only Danny, Desiree, and Bob Marley remained.

"So, I take it dat you are the amazing bride that Danny here was talkin' about." Bob chuckled.

"Wait, he told you about are body switch?" Desiree said, not liking the fact that Danny had willingly talked about their secret, even if it was to Bob Marley. He simply grinned before saying, "Yeah. We was smoking here on the beach when he just appeared in our camp."

Hearing this, Desiree turned to Danny and asked, "Did you join in on the smoking?"

Before Danny could reply, Bob let out a laugh before saying, "Don't worry, miss. Once we saw him was pregnant, we all put out our lights. I may be known for my smoking habits but people seem to forget that I knew my limits and appropriate times when I should and shouldn't smoke."

Hearing this, Desiree blushed profusely. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to jump to conclusions."

"No worries, mon." Bob replied. "Now tell me, what brings you here to Jamaica and how exactly did you end up in dis predicament?"

After explaining how they switched bodies and everything that happened in the last few months, Bob couldn't help but smile.

"Well, never in my wildest dreams could I imagine something like dat happening. I don't tink I could possibly comprehend the troubles you two have had." he replied.

"At least you understand our problems." Danny sighed, rubbing his stomach.

"You mind if I see how de little one is doing?" Bob asked.

"How can I possibly say no?" Danny chuckled.

Walking over, he placed a gentle hand on Danny's belly before a grin spread across his face. Instead of saying anything, he walked over, brought Desiree over to Danny before placing one of her hands on one side of his stomach and Danny's hand on the other. When they each felt movement on where their hands were, they quickly switch the placement of their hands to confirm their suspicions.

"Congratulations. Your expecting twins." Bob chuckled.

Desiree's face lit up with joy while Danny's paled.

"Oh shit. As if me being pregnant wasn't stressful enough, now I find out we are having twins."

"Don't worry, baby." Desiree said, trying to soothe him. "We'll get through this together."

"She's right, mon." Bob added. "Just like I sang a little while ago, give thanks and praise to the Lord, and everything will be all right."

Nodding, the two thanked Bob for talking with them before teleporting back to their hotel room and getting ready for bed. As they lay they, Desiree wrapped her arms around Danny's middle, resting on the ever growing baby bump.

"I love you Danny." Desiree whispered in his ear.

"And I you." he replied before they slowly drifted to sleep.

***Meanwhile, Back at the GIW base***

"So, do we have a deal?" the head GIW agent asked the ghost standing in front of him.

"Let me get this straight. You want me to pester the ghost child and place this tracking beacon on that bitch, Desiree, and in return, you agree to provide me with upgrades?" Skulker replied.

"Yes. It is crucial that the beacon is planted and goes unnoticed." the agent answered.

The ghostly hunter gave a malicious grin. "Its a deal."
