I'm sorry if you guys were expecting this chapter earlier, I got really busy and homework caught up with me (*grumbles*stupid math homework). And I couldn't come up with much for this chapter, so i had a very slow progress to complete.

Thanks to you guys for having enough patience! :D I give you CHAPTER 9!


Chapter 9

Danny's POV: 2 HOURS LATER

I was currently sitting on my bed, trying to think things through as to what I'm going to do once I'm home. However, right now I was trying to recap everything that happened after the operation.

Flashback:

I was very shocked at what the results of the operation.

After the operation was done, Frostbite carried Dani and placed her in a small crib, I noticed that the other yeti were making sure she was in perfect conditions, that the destabilization was now balanced.

A few minutes later, they were now done, and moved her crib back to the infirmary. She was now sleeping peacefully, the anesthesia had worn off the moment the light from the machine was off.

I then talked to Frostbite at the infirmary.

"So now what am I supposed to do Frostbite", I said. He looked at me, he had a calm expression and said, "From here on out, you decide on whats best to do, for you and her".

I sat down for a moment, "Frostbite, I know that, but I don't know where to start. I'm lost".

"You'll know what to do when the time comes Great One", he said. Afterwards, he left to give me some space to think.

As I was lost in my own thoughts, I took a moment to look towards the crib a few feet away. I got up and walked towards the crib, I smiled when I looked at the baby girl resting peacefully, 'My daughter', I thought.

A yeti had dressed Dani in cloths that would fit her, she was wearing some white footie pajamas that had a small DP black emblem on the chest. My hand gently brushed against her cheek, then I moved it to hold her small hand.

I'm not sure how long I was there, watching her sleep peacefully, now that this is all over. 'But, not yet', I thought, 'There is still one more task to complete'.

Frostbite came in after a few minutes, "Rest Great One, you need some time to process all the events of today".

And with that I walked away, but not before I looked at Danielle one last time.

With those thoughts, I drifted to sleep.


(THREE DAYS LATER)

For the past three days, I've been trying to learn how to take care of a child, and let me tell you, it's not easy.

First I learned how to feed a baby, 'That was easy enough', I thought. But then, they showed me how to change a diaper, 'That was the worst day of my life'. To sum it up, they showed me the basics to take care of a baby.

Frostbite has also been monitoring Danielle, to see if she was okay, and nothing was out of the ordinary. So far, so good. A couple minutes ago, Frostbite called me to the infirmary, he said it was to inform me of some news. 'I'm not sure of what kind of news are they', I thought as I walked. "Which worries me a lot".

Once at the infirmary, Frostbite then proceeded to get to the point.

"Great One, I have very great news", he said. "Tomorrow, you will be able to take the child home with you".

When he finished that sentence, I smiled really wide, "YES! Thank you Frostbite!", I jumped up in joy. I didn't know what else to do at the moment, I was just happy.

Afterwards, I left the infirmary and went to my quarters, I layed down on the bed, with a huge smile on my face, 'Danielle is now cured, that's one worry off my chest. However, I need to take care of her, I won't leave her, ever. But the problem is, how do I take care of her if I have other duties?', I pondered.


THE NEXT DAY:

After lunch, I returned to the infirmary (again), this time, I was going to check on Dani, see how she's doing.

What I didn't expect was Frostbite waiting for me there. I entered the infirmary, Frostbite was carrying Dani in his arms, she was wide awake, giggling away holding a small baby rattle in her hand.

Frostbite turned to look at me, and nodded to come closer. I did. He then handed Dani to me, I smiled really wide, and she did too showing her toothless gums. I hugged her close to my chest in a protective loving way. She then begin to drift off in sleep on my shoulder, I didn't mind of at all. (AN:Sorry, that last thing seemed kinda stupid and obvious)

"Great One, it seems that the child's health is normal, there is no sign of sickness whatsoever. You are now allowed to leave with the child under your care", he said with a kind smile.

"Thanks for everything Frostbite", I said. I began to walk towards the Specter Speeder, Dani was sleeping soundlessly on my shoulder, while my other arm was busy carrying a bag with enough baby supplies for the trip home.

In the Speeder, I set Dani on a baby car seat, apparently Frostbite took care of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. He even went to my lair to make a nursery in one of the rooms and he even had someone get a birth certificate for Dani (which I'm glad he did).


I just might to have to add another chapter before the actual finale. AND these last chapters will come up shorter than what I normally do.

THX! Please R&R! :D
