Okay, I only had to deal with one class today and the same class to deal with tomorrow. So, I figured I'd write this chapter up before I studying again - I've been studying since Friday, so yeah, no worries.

Enjoy! :)


I hadn't exactly figured out how to tell Vlad what will happen after last night. He seems to accept the idea of me loving him. Now, I'm making him a fine omelet with the side of tea. Of course, he didn't request what to have. I just knew what he needs to eat. At the moment, he feels better when he isn't in any pain.

Of course, in the back of my subconscious brain is bugging me. My head shook and really don't want to do it. I gathered the food onto the tray and headed into the bedroom. Vlad was in his fresh clothes and I realized I had to wash his bed since it's quite full of blood and cum as of my faults. I set the tray down on his desk and I headed over to the bed to deal with wrapping up the blankets off the bed.

"Just replace them, Daniel." Vlad suggested.

I hummed, "I can wash them, Vlad." I finally got it all off, "Besides, I have to go on a patrol." I shrugged.

"Oh." He sounded disappointed.

I turned to him with a frowned, "Is everything okay, Vlad?"

Vlad shrugged and sat down at his desk. He picked up his fork and helped himself for breakfast. I sighed and came up to him. I gave him a kiss on his cheek and he blushed sooner than I expected.

"I'll be back for lunch." I smiled.

Vlad nodded. He didn't even say much, but something had to be bothering him. Was my temporarily leaving him affects him this much?

He would have to tell me otherwise, but I ended up leaving the room and felt being stuck in the spot I stood. My head turned and saw he refused to let me leave.

"Thank you for freeing me from the pain I have suffered for, Daniel. Please, don't leave me alone too long…I'm afraid it'll return soon." His eyes drifted away.

I pitied him and dropped the blanket. My arms curled around his shoulders and I showed him how much he means to me. I kissed his forehead and he stared right up at me.

"Vlad, it's not going to return that easily unless I'm gone for more than three days." I explained, "Besides, you'll be fine. I promise." I ensured him.

I never seen Vlad so clingy before, but I can't say it's not the first time to learn something new about him. He's always full of surprises for me, but I love him anyway.

"I suppose." He gave in.

I nodded and had to get those blankets back into my arms. I pressed the codes down quickly and headed out. I knew how he felt, but I started out right out early for those pains. Why didn't he ever visit me to see if I have been through the same thing? I sighed and headed into the laundry room that is next to the kitchen in this secret headquarter place. Once I got the stuff into the washer and set to wash. I headed out of the headquarter and decided to visit someone particularly.

The ghost zone was full of ghosts today, so my best decision is to remain invisible and quiet, and headed straight to a particular territory. Which took a while to get there, but it doesn't take forever at least unlike some specific territory like Clockwork.

I landed in front of the door and knocked on it. No one was around right now, so it was safe to trigger visibility for now. The door opened and met contact with the homeowner of this territory. It's so strange, but we actually put aside our differences.

"Ember-pumpkin, whelp is here." Skulker announced.

My eyes rolled, but I rather glad he isn't hunting me or capturing me. Ember came into the room with confusion. She had her arms crossed and waited for me to say something. I rubbed my arm and smiled.

"Vlad is pregnant." I stated.

Ember gasped, "Oh, my! Congratulations! An official announcement and a real hybrid will be born in two hundred and ninety days!"

I blinked, "Two hundred and ninety days?"

Ember nodded, "Yes, it is the exact amount of days for a ghost to have a full term of pregnancy."

Skulker shook his head, "And it is annoying from time to time when they are pregnant. Be warn, you need to be protective of Vlad now since he carries a spawn of yours."

I stepped back and realized I didn't do my study well enough on this effect of pregnancy. I sighed.

"Why do I have to be protective of Vlad? He's going to be remained in the headquarter for a year and a half…depend how things go that is."

Ember shook her head, "You may think a ghost shield keeps a ghost out, but you should know ghosts can teleport if they can. You should know all twenty level ghosts have that ability."

My head shook, "No, no ghosts should be able to break in the Technoligentical Shield."

They shuttered and tried to repeat the world, but I wouldn't blame them. This was something Tucker worked on and many efforts have put in for a year and a half.

"Dipstick, a what shield?"

I chuckled, "Technoligentical shield. Tucker created it and programmed it to suppress all ghost powers and prevent any chances of escaping. It works more of like an invisible shield you cannot see or feel. It's there, though. I can't even damage or destroy its strength and power since we put it up to a hundred and ten levels. We never met ghosts that are more powerful than Clockwork, so we're safe." I smiled.

They stared at me like I was insane or a psycho murderer or something. I sighed.

"Well, baby pop, you're good. For now, you have to keep him calm at least seventy days to prevent miscarriage. When ghosts have miscarriage, it places a dangerous effect on the carrier and total breakdown. Vlad wouldn't be able to move on until he makes his own peace or closure to the child he carried for a short amount of time." Ember meant every word of it.

Skulker nodded, "As she said, it may best you play Vlad's music like the classical junk he listens to."

I understood, "Got it. I'll grab some CDs of the classical music for him."

"And make sure he knows he is pregnant."

I chuckled out of guilt, "Actually…"

She frowned, "Danny Phantom! You're not keeping this pregnancy as a secret from him, are you?"

Skulker shook his head, "I wouldn't advise on not telling him too late."

I rubbed the back of my neck, "Actually, I want to tell him when he's sixteen weeks pregnant and that he won't have a chance to…well, hurt our baby."

Ember and Skulker exchanged a glance, as they couldn't really control.

"Alright, but if it gets too dangerous. You need to tell him and bring him here for any medical needs." Ember stated.

I mentally sighed to see she wasn't going to ruin the plan or time limited me on this. I was thankful enough she let this slide for me. Quickly, I nodded to answer her.

"I better go, but I thought you guys be happy to be the first one to know." I winked.

"Yup, now we know the real story." Skulker hummed delightfully.

My eyes rolled and flew out of the house that belongs to Skulker. Honestly, ever since ten years ago I found out the two were each other's mate…it was shocking and ugh. Now, I rather found it interesting and lucky I guess.

I hurried out of the ghost zone to do quick patrolling since Vlad has been on my mind, plus, mom and dad has to be wondering where the hell I have been. To think they would have finally back off once I turned eighteen, but nope! They stated as long I live under their roof, I have to let them know where I am, come back home at least before eleven o'clock, and among other stuff. At least they don't charge me to pay the bill of the house, but I honestly don't know how else they could be the best parents. Soon enough, it wouldn't be forever to live in their house and nothing will have to be worried about forever either.

"Danny, I told mom that you were at Tucker's house for the night." Jazz stated when coming down the lab's stairs.

I chuckled as I transform to Fenton, "Thanks, Jazz."

She hummed, "So, something happened last night?"

I flustered, "I-I…Vlad's pregnant now." I shyly smiled.

She gasped and ran up to hug me, "Oh, my, little brother! I'm happy for you!"

I chuckled, "Thanks. I can't believe it's finally happening." I smiled.

She broke apart and stared right into my eyes. She was proud of me and I haven't felt a single pain.

"I'm proud of you, Danny. Does Vlad know yet or are you planning to keep him on the plan?"

I sighed, "On the plan."

Jazz understood and heard me out. My team and I went over this several time, but we couldn't afford any damage to the baby.

"Well, mom and dad are waiting for you to be 'back home' soon. I figured you might be with Vlad, so you're safe. It's not like they can ground you anymore."

My eyes rolled, "Tell me about it. At least they're okay with me being late, they just want to know where I am." I groaned, "I don't whether telling them I'm in a relationship is a good idea or not."

She shrugged, "I'm not sure either, but you might want to be sure with Vlad on the whole relationship and mating sort out."

That's what I feared the most, but at least I'd try at the best of my effort.

"I better get it over with mom and dad before Vlad gets clingier on me."

Jazz tilted her head, "Clingier?"

I nodded, "Yeah, he's afraid of feeling the pain he's been in for six years. He has no clue about obsession for ghosts."

Jazz's eyes widened open enough to see her teal eyes. She was mostly shocked to find out how Vlad lacked knowledge on ghosts' obsession and that I knew before the man. I always assumed he knew, but now I realized Vlad didn't know because he was focusing on his own life. I was usually expecting him anytime and when he left my graduation party, everything has changed me and I would suspect Vlad was involved in whatever I believed he could be doing. Once I witnessed the fact he actually remained human, I discover my obsession within ten years. Every single ghost knew I wasn't different from them and I couldn't depart myself away from them. It was their definition of normal and Vlad was the same as them.

"It would make sense why he never showed up all these years," She nodded, "It's better than nothing now. Are you planning on telling him about the whole obsession processes and its effects and causes?"

I gave her an obvious look and she accepted the answer. I decided to get it over with our parents as I phased through the floor over to the front of the door. I opened the door as I walked into the living room happily. My acting skills came in handy, if only mom could detect my behavior and they'd learn something else was going on.

"You young man! Where have you been last night?" Mom interrogated me already.

I froze in my spot and looked at her, "I was at Tucker's for the night, didn't Jazz pass down the message?" I blinked a couple of times.

Mom eased back, "Yes, but it would be nice if you told us that yourself."

I shrugged, "Sorry mom, Tucker wanted to do something yesterday and I only had time to text Jazz. You and dad don't know to deal with texting, so I figured Jazz would save the trouble."

Mom wanted to say something about texting, but she knew how I am with calling home like any typical teenagers and young adults are with texting. Of course, I never have time to do any of that with ghost fighting and obsessing over my mate. It's normal for me…I think. Dad joined up happily with some sort of a new device in his hands. Great, now I have to avoid this one this time.

"Son! Check out the latest invention! I call it the Fenton Sparklers!" He stated it.

It looked like a metal can in Fenton's invention, only it got more buttons more than I can imagine.

"Uh, that's great, dad. What does it do?" I pointed at that thing.

Mom smiled, "It makes a harmless firework to alert us unwanted ghost or unseen ghost, therefore, it senses for us. Now, we will be able to catch ghosts if they are within five to twenty feet of us."

Oh, shit. That's no way good at all and that's just fucked up. I nodded along to their excitement, but I can't help it and worry that would give me away.

"Hehe, sounds good. Is it on already or automatic?"

Dad smiled, "It's on, you have to do is turn the top once a full turn on and same to backward for off."

I nodded and felt rather glad, "Sounds useful! I'm going to head upstairs and get ready to meet up with Sam." I hurried up the stairs before they could stop me or force me to observe at its work.

"Oh, I was really hoping to spend quality time with you, son!" Dad stated, "We could catch Phantom!"

My eyes rolled and knowing nothing was ever easier. I might have to get Jazz to turn that thing off and give it to me in hiding. There's no way I'd want to risk myself or Vlad won't be able to move on from his own obsession. I quickly phased through the floor, over to the kitchen, and dealt the security there. Luckily, mom and dad weren't in the kitchen and too focused on heading to the lab soon enough.

I couldn't wait to have lunch with Vlad and see how we'd bond this time! Now, I'm making a typical lunch with tea on the side. There's no doubt in my mind that laundry should be done. I had to deal with some stuff from time to time and remember what I needed to focus on.


Maybe tomorrow for the next chapter, depending on how confident I am for the test.
