Chapter 12: Jazz Returns

April's POV – The Next Day:

I was still sleeping when all of a sudden I was heard knocking on the front door. I got up and I was about to leave the room when I noticed that I was not wearing anything at all. I quickly grabbed my robe that I was able to get and I went downstairs. When I got downstairs, I went to the door and I opened it up.

"Hello, can I help you?" I asked her.

"Uh, who are you and what you doing in my house?" the woman that was standing before me asking me. I was still a little tired that I was not able to make out the image of the woman that was standing before me. I was about to respond to the woman when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I turned around and I saw that it was Danny, my fiancé, and future husband.

"Danny, honey, there is someone here at the door," I told him. Danny walked to me and when he saw the person that was standing in the door, he spoke up.

"Jazz, how are you doing?" Danny asked the woman that arrived here. Thinking back on Danny's past, I remembered that he had a sister, and the woman that was standing before me was his sister.

Jazz's POV - Five Minutes Earlier:

I just arrived at my parent's house for I was on break from school for the next three weeks. I arrived at the front door and I knocked hoping that either my mom or dad would answer, but who I saw answer the door instead confused me. I saw a woman standing in front of me wearing a robe.

"Hello, can I help you?" the woman asked me.

"Uh, who are you and what are you doing in my house?" I asked the woman that was standing before me. I could tell that she was about to answer me when I heard footsteps. I looked inside and I saw my brother, Danny, come down the stairs.

"Danny, honey, there is someone here at the door," the woman said to Danny. I was extremely confused. Why was this woman calling Danny honey? What was she doing here in the first place? I had to know. I saw Danny come to the front door and when he saw me, he spoke up.

"Jazz, how are you doing?" Danny asked me.

Danny's POV – Five Minutes Before Jazz's POV:

I was still sleeping when I felt the bed shift. I opened up my eyes and I saw that April was not by my side. Figuring that April was up, I got up as well. When I got up, I had to go to the bathroom as I always do. As soon as I finished going to the bathroom, I went downstairs to go to the kitchen to make myself something to eat. As I was walking downstairs, I saw that April was talking to someone at the door. I approached the door and who I saw surprised me. It was my sister Jazz. Upon seeing her, I went to her and I grabbed her and brought her into a hug.

"Jazz, how are you doing?" I asked her.

"I am doing good Danny, but I would like to know who this woman is," my sister Jazz asked me as she was pointing at April. I did not say anything to her at all, but I showed her something instead. I showed Jazz the ring on my finger and the ring on April's hand. As soon as Jazz saw this, she squealed.

"Oh my god, I am going to have a sister in law. I can't believe it, but Danny, does she know your secret?" Jazz asked me.

"Yes she does, and she has a secret of her own, but she will tell you later on in the day. Right now, I have to go upstairs to wake up Dae." I was about to go upstairs to wake her up when my sister stopped me.

"Danny, who is Dae?" she asked me. I looked at her and I knew that I had to tell her.

"Jazz, Dae is my daughter, your niece." With that said, I went upstairs to wake up Dae.

Dae's POV:

I was still sleeping in my bed when all of a sudden, I heard the door open up. Upon hearing the door being opened, I got up to see who it was. I was surprised to see my dad walk in.

"Why, you beat me Dae. It seems that I will have to use my ghost powers to sneak up on you then."

"It seems like it dad." I looked at the time and I saw that it was 9 AM. Man, it was early, but my dad loves to get up this early. I got up from the bed and I got myself dressed in the clothes that both my mom and dad were able to get for me when I came to live with them. As soon as I was dressed, I left my room and I was going to go downstairs to the kitchen, or so I thought. My dad stopped me before I even went downstairs.

"Dad, what is it?" I asked him.

"Nothing. I just want to let you know that your Aunt Jazz is here to spend some time with the family." As soon as my dad said Aunt Jazz, I was squealing in happiness. I did not know that my dad had a sister. I went downstairs and I saw my mom speaking to a woman.

"Mom, who is she?" I asked her.

"Dae, sweetie, this is Jazz, your Aunt," my mom told me. I looked at the woman, my Aunt, and I ran to her and I hugged her leg.

Jazz's POV:

I could not believe of what I heard. My brother is going to get married and he already has a daughter. I looked at the little girl that was hugging my leg and I just smiled. I bent down until I was eye level with her. I looked at her and I had to admit that she does have qualities from both April and Danny.

"Well, aren't you just a cutie?" I said to her making her do a small blush. It was cute to see on her. I finally grabbed my bags and I was finally inside instead of outside. I saw Danny's daughter, man that is going to take some getting used to, walk towards the kitchen. When she left, I looked at April and I had to know everything about her. The both of us went to the living room and sat down. I started talking first.

"So April, tell me how you and Danny met," I asked her.

"Well Jazz, to tell you the truth I met Danny when I came running out of the Ghost Zone." As soon as I heard the words Ghost Zone, I was thrown off. How could she be from the Ghost Zone? Was she a ghost or was she like Danny, a halfa?

"So, who were you before?" I asked her hoping that she be able to answer that question.

"Actually Jazz, truth be told, I used to be Ember McLain." I could not believe it. This woman that was sitting right in front of me was Ember McLain, one of Danny's enemies. I was shocked to tell you the truth. I looked at Ember, I mean April, and I knew that I had to ask.

"How are you like this right now?" I asked her.

"Well, to tell you the truth Jazz, I was dying. I know that you are thinking, how can a ghost die? Well, I will tell you. You see, ghosts go to the Ghost Zone to refill their lost ecto-plasm that they have used up whenever they go to the human world. I used up all of my ecto-plasm, but I was brought back to life by Danny's ecto-plasm. It seems that when Danny brought me back to life, some of his humanity was given to me as well thus turning me into a halfa like Danny."

"That is cool Em- I mean April, but continue."

"Anyways, ever since then, I have been living with Danny for a couple of weeks. It was recently when Danny and I found out that we had a daughter."

"Wait! What do you mean that you found out?" I asked April.

"Dae is our child biologically, but she was created by Vlad with the intent of her being a clone. It seems as if Vlad did not get what he wants. Danny and I were able to rescue Dae from Vlad and ever since then, she has been living here. Mrs. Fenton has been helping Danny and I out with Dae, and one last thing Jazz. Mrs. Fenton knows that Danny and I are half-ghosts and she also knows that Dae is also a half-ghost as well." I was shocked when April told me that last bit of information. My mom knew that my brother was the ghost boy that was protecting the town from the other ghosts? Wow. At least our mom won't hunt Danny anymore. I looked at April and I looked at the ring that she was wearing. I still could not believe that my brother, my younger brother, is getting married before I do. I had another question to ask her.

"So April, when do you and Danny plan on getting married?" I asked her.

"To be truthful, I do not know, but I have a feeling that it is going to be real soon."

"You got that right April." Both April and I turned around when we heard that. I saw my brother, Danny, all dressed up for the day. It was nice to see. I then noticed that Danny walked to April and planted a kiss. Upon seeing this, I blushed. I wanted that kind of romance in my life, but I knew that it was not going to happen at any time soon for me. I gave a small cough as to let them know that I was still here which caused both April and Danny to break apart from the kiss. I was about to ask Danny a question when Danny spoke up.

"Hey, Jazz, there is something that I want you to do for me."

"What is that Danny?" I asked him.

"I want you to plan my wedding. I want to marry April here in two weeks."

"Two weeks? That is how long that you are going to give me to plan the wedding?" I asked Danny wanting to make sure of what I heard.

"That is right. You have two weeks to get everything set and I will give you the money that is needed for the wedding, $50,000." I was surprised by the amount of money that Danny said was going to be used.

"How did you come across this kind of money?" I asked him.

"Easy, I am an inventor." When Danny told me he has six jobs, I was confused. How could he have six jobs? I was about to ask him that question when Danny spoke up.

"Jazz, I know that you are thinking of how do I have this kind of money, and I will tell you. You see Jazz, I made a simple invention that I created a while ago called the proto-print, a portable printer that can be connected and plugged into a laptop, and I get royalties from the patent of my invention," Danny told me. I was surprised when Danny told me that. I then saw Danny and April leave the room together. I had a lot to do in two weeks' time for Danny's wedding.
