Chapter 12: My Wife
Previously
"I told Ember of my feelings and she felt the same way...so we started dating and I was really happy...What I felt and still feel for her, I never felt for anyone else before...and I knew she was the one for me...we got married almost 2 years ago and are living happily ever after and all that..."Daniel said, only to see the stunned, silent look on his younger self's face.
Daniel sighed, knowing that this is a lot for a teenager to take it and he felt that he manage to say enough information without risking undoing anything, even if he left out a lot of big details.
"Look...Danny...I know this is a big shock for you, but everything works out and I am happy...we all are...'Daniel said to the teenager who still wasn't answering him.
He suddenly noticed the time on his watch and saw that it was getting really late and he had a big schedule for tomorrow.
"Look...it's getting late...unless you want to talk more...I'm going to retire for the evening..."Daniel said to his younger self.
Teen Danny was still silent...
"Okay then...well, I'll be back in the morning to try and see if I can either help with the portal or contact Clockwork again..."The adult said, but still no answer.
He sighed, knowing that the teenage boy was still processing the whole thing.
"I really am happy...you will be really happy and I don't want to change a single moment of my life now..."He said sincerely but the boy was still silent...
"Okay...well, goodnight...I'll see you in the morning.."He said as he left the room.
Leaving his younger self behind in his old room, who was still silent for a long time as he proceeded this information...and he only said these words, though his older self was already long gone.
"Ember...I can't believe it...'He whispered to himself in the privacy of his old room.
Daniel Fenton sighed as he reentered the laboratory. He just had a heart to heart with his 14 year old self and he wondered if it did any good. He still couldn't believe so much has been revealed today, but hopefully the worst has passed and Clockwork would have a solution once he finally gets in contact with him. As soon as he stepped in the lab, his wife and parents came to him.
"How is he?..."Ember asked her husband, who once again sighed.
"Well, I told him the censored version, without giving any major spoilers...with the exception of...you know...'Daniel said and Ember sighed in disbelief.
"Well, at least there won't be any more confusion later on...'Ember shrugged.
"You two kids should probably be getting home, it's late...'Maddie suggested to her son and daughter-in-law.
Daniel was originally planning on spending the night here, just to keep an eye on his younger self but maybe a little space now would be helpful...but...
"Don't worry son, we'll keep an eye on him and if anything happens Ember can always teleport you here..."Jack suggested, using logic for once.
Daniel thought about it and nodded. Maybe some time at home would help ease a little of the tension.
"Okay...but be sure to tell my younger self we're heading home...and remind him that me and Ember will be back first thing tomorrow morning...'Daniel said to his parents who nodded.
The younger Fenton couple soon bid adieu and soon left...left for their home.
Later
Up in the sky
The ghostly husband and wife were up in the skies, still flying to their home. However, Daniel has been silent the entire time and Ember is getting worried over him.
"Baby pop..."Ember called, managing to get his attention from whatever thoughts he was having.
"Huh? Oh...what is it, honey?..."Daniel asked and Ember looked worried.
"You have been quiet the entire flight...'Ember pointed out.
"I have? Oh...sorry..."He said softly and Ember sighed.
"I know you are worried but let's look at the positive side of things...'Ember said.
'And what are those?..."Her husband asked sarcastically.
"Even though your younger self is surprised, I know we will still end up together...besides, since we remember everything and no major changes have happened yet, that has to mean something...right?...'Ember suggested.
Daniel knew she had a point, but with time, you just can never be sure unless Clockwork spells it all out to you.
"I'm still worried...you should have seen the look on his face when I told him that you saved my life and that's what lead to all of this, I wonder if he even believed a word I said...'Daniel said.
"I know I wasn't nice to you when I first but I wasn't that bad, was I?...'Ember asked.
Daniel had a bad moment when she asked that but thankfully Ember interrupted him before he could give an answer. Once she realized exactly what she asked him.
"If you love me, don't answer that...'Ember said sardonically and Daniel chuckled at that.
There was a moment of silence before Ember took his hand in hers and gave him a tender look.
"No matter what, we are soulmates Danny...and we will be together...'Ember said.
"I want that, so much...'Daniel said to his wife as he felt his heart beating like mad.
Even now, being married for almost two years and having been together so long, she is still as beautiful now as she was on the day he realized that he was in love with her. Daniel smiled and leaned in, about to share a kiss with her...until...
Suddenly a bright light startled then, just when Danny only inches away from meeting her lips. Daniel and Ember looked up and frowned in annoyance when they realized exactly who and what interrupted the romantic moment between them.
"DANNY! EMBER! CAN WE HAVE A WORD?!..." Somebody shouted.
"What are your thoughts on the rumors involving Ember's next tour?!...'Another person shouted.
"Is it true that you plan on joining her for her tour, Danny?...'Another one shouted in a loud, annoying voice.
Reporters.
Many of them in the news helicopters from every station in the city, doing what they do best. Annoyed the heck out of them!
" Can't you people get a life?!..." Daniel shouted angrily as the news vultures...I mean, reporters kept asking more and more question to the Golden Couple of Amity Park, who is long passed annoyed with them.
"NO COMMENT!..."Ember shouted as she grabbed Daniel's hand and the two flew fast to get away from the press, who is relentless in chasing them to get a story.
Just another typical day for this famous couple.
Later
Daniel and his wife eventually managed to shake off those reporters and were soon in their home. It's a large, very elegant, modern looking three story home on the outskirts of town that was thankfully very remote and private. It's actually one of many homes that they own all over the world, but it's the one they spend most time in due to it's wonderful privacy and the fact that it's close to Amity Park.
Sure, it might seem too modest to be the home of a couple of rich celebrities but that's the point. No one expects them to be living there, so it's perfect. The only people who know that they live their are their closest friends and family, which suits them just fine.
Daniel is now in his bedroom, lying on his bed as he stared at the ceiling, still contemplating everything that has happened today. Ember is busy in the shower, trying to relax herself with the hot water.
Daniel didn't even move when she gave out, wearing only her bathrobe and her specially designed towel for her hair.
"That was just what the doctor ordered...'Ember said with a relaxed sighed as she walked in and saw Daniel still out of it.
The wife sighed as she approached him.
"Come on baby, I told you things will be okay...'Ember said as she walked to him.
'I know but I still worry...'Daniel sighed, only to be smacked in the face with a pillow.
He looked at his wife, who sent him a mischievous look.
"Stop that and relax, everything will be okay and you aren't doing good by being a total worry-wart..."Ember chided.
"And what do you suggest that I do?...'Daniel asked sarcastically.
"Why don't you go take a hot shower? It'll do you some good...'Ember suggested.
'I'm not in the mood for a shower...'Daniel said...only for Ember to send him a sultry look that got his attention.
"Even if I was in there with you...'Ember said seductively, getting Daniel all interested and he is now smirking.
"Didn't you just take a shower?...'Danny couldn't help but tease her.
"You got a point...but we can skip that formality..."Ember said as she pulled him closer for a steamy kiss.
Daniel kissed her back, the stress and worries from earlier today having melted away as he and his wife continued their passionate embrace on their marital bed.
One which lasted for the rest of the evening.
Meanwhile
In the Ghost Zone
Kitty 13, the wife of infamous biker ghost Johnny 13 and best friend of world famous Ember Fenton, formerly known as Ember Mclain was in the realm she shared with her husband and children. Yes, over the years she and Johnny finally got married and had kids of their own. However today Kitty also has a little guest here, as per Ember's request.
One who is being tended to by her husband as the green haired was busy preparing dinner.
"Okay...in like 20 minutes, the pot roast should be done..."Kitty said as she set the main dish to cook at medium heat.
Kitty still couldn't believe what Ember had told her, that a 14 year old version of her husband is running around and they no way to contact Clockwork to get him back where he belongs. However, given how strange Danny's life is, maybe this isn't that much of a stretch.
"I sure hope Ember can handle him...all things considered. .."Kitty thought to herself, hoping things will work out for her best friend and her hubby.
Suddenly the female ghost heard some commotion coming from the other room and sighed as she had a feeling she knew what it was.
"Um...Kitty. ..baby...a little help please..."Johnny called room the other room.
Kitty sighed as she had been dead on. She loves Johnny but he is pretty helpless without her sometimes.
"Coming...my work is never done..."Kitty said to herself as she went to go see what the problem is this time.
Unknown to either Kitty or Johnny, somebody had been spying on them with a pair of binoculars outside. Well...not them particularly but on a certain guest they were having for the time being. One that this strange person had plans for...
"Soon..."The ghost said in a low , dangerous tone as he continued to spy on his target.
Unaware of what fate has in store now...
