Thanks for the suggestion on what to read! :D Oh, here's one suggestion if those who wants a serious reading as good as Dominiation, it's called, "Bitter UNIONS" by Team04Phantom. It's really good! Alright, I'm done and going to let you read this. Enjoy~
After leaving Mrs. Taylor's house, I flew home and didn't bother to focus on my emotions. I checked for anyone around me and went inside home. The place didn't look destroy or anything. Mom and dad in the kitchen and working on their typical inventions, so my guess they could be unaware of anything, and I went upstairs to my room.
I found Jazz reading her book and Danielle playing DOOM. If I knew one thing, they haven't had any bonding yet.
"Jazz," I called.
She jumped up at my attention, "Oh, you're home, Danny." She smiled.
I can still sense her emotions and they were the same. I frowned.
"Jazz! You're supposed to spend time with Danielle!" I groaned, "Two hours would have given you two plenty of time." I crossed my arms.
She set her book on her lap, "Sorry, I tired, but it's not working out for the both of us."
I brushed my hair back, trying to figure out this situation, and so far…vacation isn't forever. We just got home no more than a week ago. Lately, Vlad has been spending so much of his time with me in the morning to noon between his works hours. We kissed, but we kept it low. I smelled something and couldn't help it to feel odd. Jazz noticed and glanced up at me with concern.
"Are you feeling alright?" She asked sisterly.
I shrugged, "It's nothing, mom must be cooking something. It's like…awful stenches I can't stand."
Jazz blinked, "She's only making taco tonight." Her head shifted.
My stomach turned off and my head shook. It couldn't have been what mom's cooking.
"Maybe it's the dirty laundry I smell," I shrugged, "My senses are stronger lately, but I only activate them when I need them to."
Jazz shook her head, "No, laundry has been done just yesterday." She frowned, "Danny, are you feeling alright?"
My stomach twisted and turns, the icy core took over and settled down, and I breathed.
"I'm fine. I just probably miss Vlad and nervous meeting his parents." I chuckled.
Jazz hummed, "Alright, did you have some tea at Mrs. Taylor?"
I nodded and double-checked on the stuff. Danielle hardly turns around and check on whatever was going on. Gee, was I that addicted to video games when I was younger? I purposely shut down the computer and she spun around. Her arms crossed in frustration of losing the game.
"Danielle, spend some time with dad. You can't stay quiet forever." I patted her head, "Besides, video games rot your brain." I chuckled…which was true.
She gave me a disappointing look and barely looking at anyone. I kept look straight at her and waiting. Jazz stayed in the room and not bothering much to interfere.
"Danielle," I felt a little annoyed and tried to hold back, "I know the things I've done, my strength and weakness, and power. It's either you start talking or no video games to play with for a month. Don't go thinking you can use your invisibility because I know how to track you down." I scolded at her.
Danielle groaned and I knew how that felt. She tightened her hug and stared at Jazz as if this was an enemy she's facing for the day.
"Fine." She muttered.
I smiled, "Good, spend time with her and I'll get food. If I see that computer on, that'll be another month. She can punish you too as well." I patted her head.
Her eyes rolled, but man, she's stubborn! I went out of the bedroom and left the two be. Jazz whispered a thank you for me and Jazz tried to find out the interesting things for a girl clone of me. I headed downstairs and felt a little dizzy. My hands gripped quickly onto the stair railing and breathed.
"What the…?" That was not normal.
I shrugged it off and my ghost scent went off. I interpreted my scent and scowled at the ghost. I floated up to the OB-Center and the ghost followed me. I crossed my arms and waited for the 'surprise' attack.
"Phantom…" He announced.
I sighed, "Skulker…if it's hunting me, can't you wait after I come back home."
Skulker revealed himself in front of me, "Right now, hunting is not appropriate for you. There's something I must tell you."
I blinked, that was unusual, and I tried to detect any pre-preparation attack with Skulker. There was absolutely none running and his initial conversation has made concerns.
"What's so important? I don't have time all day and I have to meet up with Vlad." I explained.
He nodded, "Reasonable, I am not going to waste your time. Have you noticed any sudden changes?"
I scratched my head, "If you're talking about the lack of ghost fights, I thought it's the Christmas thing? You know, everyone avoids me because I don't have much appreciation for the damn holiday other than one truce that goes on in the ghost zone?"
Skulker frowned, "I meant changes with yourself."
From the ghost's glow on Skulker, something was serious and he wasn't kidding. Changes with myself?
"Um, a little. Why?"
Skulker held up his chin, "My decoding tracker's device has warned me that you are indeed carrying a new life form inside of you." The bomb exploded.
The bomb exploded mentally in my head and every inch of my body froze. My eyes never left off Skulker and there wasn't any lie.
"What the fuck? Are you fucking messing with me?" I glared at him.
Skulker shook his head, "No, I am afraid not, Phantom. I should warn you that in two weeks, your ghost form will take over to nurture a new life and it will last five days to be sure the process is going smoothly."
My throat felt stuck and hugging myself seem harder than I realized. I nodded to accept the truth.
"H-how long does it take? I mean, for someone in my situation?"
Skulker nodded, "For a ghost, it takes up to a complete ten months. You will go through similar steps, but I am not to overload you. Ember has gone through hers and I am aware it's overwhelming to take in. Since you are partly human, there may be different stages."
"And male pregnancy is…normal in the ghost zone?"
He sighed, "It's very rare, but yes, it is normal. You might as well tell Plasmius."
I gawked at him, "H-ho-how do you know it's him?!"
"You spend the most of the time with him anyway. Dash human would have knocked you up if you had done it at all. Luckily, you're an old tradition; follow your ghost's mate." He smiled, "Has Plasmius been informing he is not the only hybrid?"
I shuddered at the fact Skulker knows too much from time to time, but he's not a bad hunter. He likes to hunt, but at the end, he finds the challenge more thrilling and willing to let me go.
"No. He will learn in a week. I'm giving him time to figure it out," I sheepishly smiled, "But damn…does he realize he's capable of getting male pregnant?"
Skulker chuckled, "Vlad hardly takes the males or females he wants to bed. They never interest him. Shall I start hinting him about you?"
My eyes rolled, "If he hadn't figured it out by the fourth day, yes. We'll be in California."
Skulker nodded and disappeared. Somehow, having an ally helps my situation and ghosts were more than just obsess with one thing. They're keen on having everything alive and the thrills of everything. Honestly…what's the hell is that smell!? It's really turning me off.
I floated down, back to the stairs, and decided to just talk to mom and dad on a few things. That and be sure of their weapons. Right now, I had to be sure Skulker wasn't fooling me and knowing Skulker, he can try to put on a serious act. If he fooled me, I'll be fucking kicking his ass! I entered in and the scent was stronger. I realized what it was…coffee. I gulped down to keep the stomach at bay and helped myself some chocolate milk. Damn, that tasted really good right now and too sweet. Weird, had chocolate milk always been like that before? I shrugged it off mentally.
"Hey mom," I greeted her attention.
She looked up with a smile and moved back her goggles, "Hey sweetie, what's up? Is your boyfriend coming here? Are we meeting him today?"
I groaned, "No, you'll meet him the day before New Year's Eve. I'm meeting him up at the usual place. But, I'm wondering if you could help me out since you have a doctor career on the background." Of course, mom always had a backup career in case this job doesn't cut out to pay the house bill and it hadn't happen.
She smiled, "Sure, what are you concern about your health for?"
My head shook, "No, it's my friend. They have been having nausea stomach, dizzier lately, sleepier, and sensitive smelling." I pointed out the obvious signs, "I've noticed it a lot with my friend lately."
Mom nodded, "Sounds like she's pregnant." She frowned, "Is it Sam?"
I chuckled nervously, "What if it's a guy? I doubt the guy be pregnant."
Mom agreed, "Then it would be Gilbert's Syndrome which is more common, however, is this you, sweetie?"
My head shook quickly, "No way! I'm just worried about my friend and the strange concern." Yeah, like I tell mom I'm pregnant with her former college friend and it's possible because I'm a ghost before she meets Vlad and all.
Mom nodded and I took a sip of the chocolate milk to remain casual. I watched them working on their latest invention. Dad jabbered on about neutering ghost powers. How long it wouldn't work for a ghost. Something about depending to dissect and how long it would take them. I pointed out if only if it'll happen when they actually catch a real ghost. Mom wanted to do it on Phantom, but I told her it wouldn't be a good idea because of his role in town. She agreed, but dad was blathering on and on how ghosts are all the same. If only he knows how wrong he was about ghosts, but I kept it bay to be 'human' as possible.
I checked the time and sighed. I went up back to my bedroom and found Jazz reading. Danielle was reading a book as well. They just read together and I had no idea what had gone on here. My thoughts were…telling Jazz something important.
"Hey," I waved at the two girls.
Jazz looked up with a smile, "Hey Danny, learn anything new with mom's invention or ghosts?"
My eyes rolled, "Yeah, but a ghost visited me to tell me a weird message." I muttered I couldn't believe much with myself.
Danielle glanced up, "What ghost is it?"
"Skulker."
Jazz's eyes widened, "Are you alright? Do you need an excuse to cover up?"
I huffed, "For ten months? I doubt it. Just tell me what you think of the symptoms and what you automatically think at the top of your head."
Jazz nodded and Danielle kept quiet as usual, but it seems like the two were still working on getting together.
"I've been feeling nausea, dizzy, sleepy, and sensitive smelling." I pointed out.
Jazz's book fell out of her hands and collapsed onto the floor, "N-no way, yo-you can't pregnant?!"
I shushed her, "Do you really think mom wants to hear that?!" I kept it under a hush.
Her head shook, "It's impossible, Danny. You're a male and human!"
I slapped my face, "I know, but I was feeling fine before this got serious. I've been eating a lot more and Skulker wasn't kidding when he told me. He says it's normal for male ghost."
"Male ghost, Danny! You're half ghost…oh, don't tell me you had done it with the man?"
I fumbled and tried to make it out a yes. Danielle didn't really have much of a clue about sex and I rather save her innocent mind.
Jazz bit her lips and rushed out of the room to do something. I wasn't too sure what was going on, but Danielle looked at me as if this was normal.
"What is you're pregnant?"
I chuckled, "It's when a growing life…um, uh…grows inside a body for certain amount of time and you know, why don't you ask dad on that? I'm not the right person to explain things." I laughed nervously…dammit, Jazz!
What was- Jazz returned and handed me a box. I glanced down and read it. My jaw dropped instantly and shook my head.
"No, Jazz…and how do you have this on you?"
Jazz grew even more concern, "You need to take that test to be sure! I always come prepare! You should know me by now!" She glared.
Oh shit, she's glaring at me and I never liked the outcome of those. I raced off into the bathroom without barking back. When it comes to Jazz, she wouldn't be stop on actually telling mom only or drag my friends into things.
…
I came out, mortified at the result, and Jazz bit her lip to find out. Danielle was lazy reading her book for some reason.
"…positive." I told her.
Jazz cringed at the idea that I was actually pregnant. That this wasn't some sick jokes and honestly, telling Vlad might change things.
"Damn…I better hope Vlad figure out I'm Phantom and all that, because telling him I'm pregnant and he thinks I'm human will be an awkward way of telling him I can't see him for two weeks!" I huffed.
"You need to drop out of college…there's no way you're in a state to go and deal with so much of everything."
My head shook, "No, we'll only have four months left and no one will notice."
She did it again with those glares, "You realize the risk you'll be in! You can't be stress out and people will suspect your weight!"
Damn, sometimes, I hate having an overly protective sister on the job and it's way worse when she does that on me. Especially, when I protect the people in town from ghosts mainly and it won't be easy.
"If I have to drop out, so do you!" I huffed.
She nodded, "Fine, as long it keeps you from going. Now, both of you grab your coats. We need to stop at the store and get some stuff before meeting Vlad."
"You drive," I said.
I was surprised to see Jazz willing to drop out, but my guess was…she sacrifices herself for me when she believes it's the best. She knows me better than anyone does than I do myself. Danielle didn't want to waste a second on grabbing her coat and taking the book with her. Jazz and I gathered the two suitcases as we went out of my room to downstairs.
"Mom! I'm taking Danny and Danielle a ride to drop them off now." Which was a perfect and truthful excuse.
Mom pouted, "I'm going to miss you again, Danny! Good thing you'll be home before the New Year's come and half of January."
I hugged her quick, "I know, but you'll meet my boyfriend. Please don't freak out about anything on that day."
Mom nodded and I hugged dad quick. This time, he wasn't rough on the back patting as he used to and he learned better self-control over two years now. Danielle gave a shy hug to her 'aunt' and 'uncle'. We all started heading out of the house, went over to Jazz's car, and put the suitcases into the trunk. I made sure Danielle was wearing a seatbelt and apparently, it was a first time for her. Danielle wasn't exactly comfortable with cars, but I figured she'd adapt…while avoiding the whole my dad driving.
I told Jazz she just go into the store and buy whatever she thinks would be best for me. I was waiting in the car with Danielle…quiet can be a dangerous thing.
"…c-can I call you mom?" I heard her behind me.
I turned around and slightly smile, "Sure, but not in public."
"Why not in public?"
I sighed, "Well, a clone experiment is illegal, but um, this wasn't supposed to happen. Jazz and I would get arrested if anyone find out."
Danielle frowned, "Oh…"
I stammered, "I mean, Jazz and I love you and we're willing to sacrifice to protect you, Danielle. The world doesn't know I'm half ghost and they don't understand my story or the truth. You don't have to hide it around Sam, Tucker, and Mrs. Taylor. You won't have to hide it forever with Vlad because he'll know my secret. Jazz and I are always going to protect you and if you slip calling me mom, I'll just cover you up." I smiled caring as much as possible.
Danielle understood and gave a slight smile, but I knew how she felt. Different was like almost forbidding, but she didn't have to worry. It wasn't like the government was going to believe anything from Amity Park.
Jazz showed up and she made sure she packed it into the suitcase in the trunk. She slammed it down and caused Danielle to yelp.
"It's okay, Danielle, she's just closing the trunk door." She nodded and held her book tightly.
Jazz slipped into her seat and does the usual routine for a good driver, "Alright, in case you feel sleepier. You can take a vitamin each day. If you feel sick, use the water crackers to soothe your stomach. Also, a book on pregnancy that's simple and basic for you to read. Plus, a book cover in case you feel like not telling Vlad right away."
Jazz had really thought of it all, but one thing would bother more…
"What about my sensitive smelling?"
She bit her lip, "I'm afraid there's nothing you can do."
I sighed, "Great, but thanks for the help."
Jazz nodded and started to drive to Sweet Sweeter Café. I was more than nervous to see if Vlad found out any time soon or not, but being myself would be great. Especially for Danielle so she wouldn't have to become so many people. Just two people, her ghost half and her human half.
I hugged my stomach and knowing we were getting closer than ever. My eyes shut and thought about Vlad holding me in his dear arms. How happy those eyes are in him and those sweet smile that made my day. His silver hair felt so right.
"Oh, looks like he's here on time and a limo too!" Jazz pointed out happily.
My eyes shot open with a smile to see him, "Yup, I figured fruitloop would do that today." I chuckled.
Of course, his limo was parked in front and I can see he's inside order a take to go. Typical, the man loves to spend a lot over that café more than anything. Then, I started to realize the coffee was a major turn off for my stomach. So, I stayed inside the car and Jazz looked at me.
"Are you alright, Danny?" Jazz asked.
I shrugged, "I'm not sure, if I step out and he brings out coffee. Once I smell it, I won't stand it." I groaned.
Jazz blinked, "So it was the coffee you smelled at home?"
I nodded, "Yes."
Jazz hummed, "Actually, it looks like he's buying a different drink."
I sat up and looked to see what he was getting. I recognized all the cups I've sold and that cup was blue this time. White and tan would be coffee, blue meant tea, and I wasn't too sure why Vlad did that. I quickly pulled out my phone and read the radar. So far, three halfa and no duplication.
"Huh, weird." I commented.
I decided to come out of the car and went inside to find Vlad. I noticed he doesn't exactly uses his super hearing or maybe he doesn't have it? I snuck my arms around his free arm with a smile.
"How's my man?" I asked.
Vlad smiled down at me, "Comfortable when you're here," He commented.
I giggled and loved him already. Brendon rolled his eyes and gathered the desserts for Vlad.
"You two are the strangest people on Earth and yet, you both pretend eight months ago didn't happen." He commented, "You two stay together because if either of you breaks up, it'll be ugly or I'll be the guy hearing your damn complaints."
Vlad and I laughed, but it's true. To me, I wasn't planning on letting Vlad go ever and I better damn well hope he's doing the same. Brendon rolled his eyes as if we took his as a humorous joke.
"Relax Brendon, he gives me a lot of attention and patience with me. He's so much better than all the relationship you can put together." I said.
Brendon froze and stared at me, "Damn, you mean he's already used to your disappearance and has no complaints about it?"
I sighed, "We have to get going. Our flight is going to take off less than half an hour."
Vlad chuckled, "I suppose so, is Danielle with your sister or something?"
I nodded and Brendon hurried up with the order. Vlad ordered a few brownies, cookies, and three different drinks. Two teas and one hot chocolate, now I can see he's getting onto Danielle's side already. We started walking out and I helped him carry some of them.
"You know Danielle already approves of you, right?" One of my eyebrows went up.
Vlad chuckled, "Actually, I figured it'll be a long ride, why not a tasty drink and snack along the way?"
I nodded slowly, "How long is the flight?"
"Almost seven hour flight, why?"
My head shook, "Nothing, just imagining all the stuff we'll have to put up on the flight with other people for that long." I laughed.
"Oh, Daniel, I have a private flight. It'll be just three of us and the plane cannot leave without my okay."
My jaw dropped and couldn't believe it! Damn, I kept forgetting he's a fucking billionaire! Way to go, Fenton! Keep up with the man already!
"This is definitely going to be an interesting flight," I smirked.
Vlad chuckled, "Of course, I want us all to spend time with each other."
One thing for sure, it would relax the stress with the crowds and I was confident of Vlad's trust and secret. On very thoughts, I know he'd be a good dad. It's just the question is…will he accept my pregnancy?
To answer anyone's question, yes, there will be an Mpreg going on...if this chapter hasn't obviously gave that away. So, expect Mpreg, lemon, and a little violence or more serious. There is a reason why I rated M. Alright, next chapter either later today or tomorrow, depending on my schedule.
