I was juggling between this story AND "Battlefield" I'm working with Alrye on (seriously, check it out, it's a good story we're working on)! So, I managed two stories back and forth! Plus, editing someone's story at the same time. So, bear with me here!

Okay, enjoy!

-Danny's Point of View-

Never. In. My. Life. Have I ever feed on Dash's nervousness to take care of my ghost half before. Although, I have to admit…his attempt to kidnap me came successful for several days and his reason almost terrified me. My former bully wanted me to have him as my mate. It really twisted my stomach so much for three days, but he hasn't done anything to make it possible or understand how mating system works. He seems obsess of me, but he wouldn't push it. He would have raped me, but he never tried to touch me sexually.

He would come in, check on how I was doing in his room…his damn bedroom, which he really needs to clean up or hire a house cleaner to deal with at least! It's been eight days…the pain grew too much on me because I wasn't with Vlad. I hated it.

My body felt like melting by flames and no way out of this. The cuffs only suppressed my power, but I was able to break it by the fourth day little by little until the eighth day. Dash never checked on the cuffs and he's really a moron here.

But I finally understood Spookster's purpose of his power. He wanted me to understand what it was like to be so desperate on feeding humans, but I knew how it affects humans. Dash refused to leave to me alone until I fed. Once the seventh day was over, he wasn't under my influences and I sort of have felt bad. However, considering the circumstances here…he deserved it for kidnapping a ghost hero. He might have boosted up my power for my ghost half, but I wasn't too sure what to test out its strength.

Dash went to work and he hadn't come back, he mentioned he had to work late for some stuff…but Kwan was the one who helped him accomplice a crime committed for kidnapping. Kwan would pester me or rather, interrogate me, for answers on the mating season and how the process work. I kept my mouth shut since he has nothing to force me up against with. He was really clueless from time to time, but I did enjoy his way of feeding me. I was so fascinated to his anger and he would continue nonetheless of the interrogating meeting with me.

One thing for sure, Kwan was supposed to come in to make sure I was still here by dinner hour. I grew to wonder what could Dash and Kwan be up with kidnapping me? What reasons, though?

Well, I finally got the ankle cuffs off me finally! Now, I had to deal with was the wrists cuff. The injury was something I didn't care for, I would have automatically healed by now. I constantly banged it against the bed's metal leg as strong as much as possible. I glanced up at the time, knowing I had an hour left before Kwan was coming to check on me. My heart flop sided at the fear of being here any longer than necessary and how much Vlad needed me.

"No! I have to hurry up! I can't let him think I abandon him!" I whipped my wrists as if I wanted to break someone's nose.

A small crackling was heard and my core flashed quickly at the idea of almost setting myself free! I took a deep breather and closed my eyes. The image of Vlad in my mind and how much I could have him in my arms. I wanted him so badly and the time was running short for me.

Snapped!

My eyes broke opened and saw the bracelet crumbling down. My power returned automatically and nothing was holding me back! Yes!

"I'm coming Vlad!" I teleported without a second to waste.

Here I was standing in front of the secret entrance and pressed the code. My transformation finally powered down and I ran down the stairs to the second door. I did the same to put in the codes and hurried to look around the room. He wasn't in the living room nor the laundry room-

"-Danny! You're back!" I heard my sister.

My head jerked over to her, "Where's Vlad?"

"In-in his room," She pointed towards the bedroom.

I rushed and Jazz tried to say something else, but I was too focused on being with Vlad again. There he was, on his bed, and waking up. I hugged him without giving him time to process his thoughts on what it was going on.

"Vlad," I whispered.

I felt so shaky in my breathing, but I didn't care. Suddenly, his arms gripped around me tighter than he can hug a pillow.

"Where the hell have you been?" He hissed at me.

I pulled apart and kissed him. Every second of kissing the man I loved the most, the pain slowly disappeared and it didn't last too long. He kissed me back without holding back, but never stopped holding me. Once we needed to breathe, we stopped kissing and the aching faded away. My hands cupped his face and saw how much emptiness he has been through without me.

"I-I was under a kidnapped situation and I just escaped. But, they didn't dare to do anything to me other than talk to me…and fed me very well for seven days." I quickly put.

His head shook, "I was worried I lost you, Daniel. I thought you were merely teaching me a lesson so I would see we are each other's soul mate or a part of a ghost obsession's balance. I understand."

My head shook, "No, I was really kidnapped. I wouldn't have stayed away from you for more than a day. I was dealing with Spookster and he placed his powers on me to understand why ghosts go after humans. Dash and Kwan kidnapped me and trying to claim me, but they're moron to take on the next step to officially claim me."

Vlad blinked, frozen at my words, and scanned my face.

"Oh, Daniel, I'm sorry…but I am glad you're alright now." He soothed my arms.

I was too surprised to see his role becoming much sensitive than eight days ago. Normally, he wouldn't make me feel up from his hands…damn, he's being himself finally.

"It's okay and-" My stomach growled off, "…I guess I should eat." I flustered.

Vlad nodded, "Your sister is making her creamy chicken spaghetti while I napped."

The door slid opened, "And it is done cooling off. Welcome back home, little brother."

I chuckled, "Perfect timing! I'm starving!" I grabbed Vlad's hand and raced over to the dinner table.

Poor Vlad who was trying to keep up since he was in his pajamas…has he been depressed without me? Well, I'll definitely have to cheer him up. Jazz joined us at the table and already had food prepared for us. She knew how to cook well enough to make sure Vlad get all the nutrition during his pregnancy.

We finally sat down, but Vlad didn't immediately sat down. One of his hands on his stomach and he slipped out of my hand. He rushed out to his bedroom and I got confused. Jazz blinked and watched him disappeared.

"He could have told me it smells bad. I didn't think onion would be that big of a deal." She frowned.

I blinked and glanced at her, "No…has he been sick around you, Jazz?"

She shook her head, "No, he seems healthy for the whole week."

I got up from my seat, "I'll go check on him," I muttered about Vlad's raced off.

I hurried over to the bedroom and noticed the bathroom's light was on. Why did he leave the door open? Better go check on him considering I had to check on him like much as possible. Vlad was bending over the toilet and I realized what was going on. I sighed and soothed his back in comfort. He looked so pale and sick, but I knew why he was like this.

"I-I-I didn't want you to think I'm sick, Daniel…I feel fine most of the time-"

I shushed him, "It's okay. How long have you been feeling like this?"

He blinked, "About three days," He stated.

I helped him up, but he didn't say much. He washed his mouth to clear off and freshen up again. My hands couldn't help it and fixed up his silver shining hair back into a ponytail he originally likes to have it in. He really has grown it much longer over eight weeks ago and the softness. I hummed and thought about braiding them soon. He would truly look lovely with those, but more masculine braiding type. We finally returned to the dinner table and sat down, but I sat closer to him. Jazz sat across from us and helped ourselves to eat.

The silence was nice for once and relaxing. Vlad would peek a look at me, but I would smile when I caught him. His blushing brought out the colors on his face and I thought that was somewhat cute to see. I have never seen him this vulnerable.

Jazz finished eating and cleaned up her own mess. She decided to leave us alone and bid us good night.

"G'night Jazz, tell mom and dad I'll be home tomorrow afternoon shortly." I smiled, of course, the lies we have to feed to our parents.

She nodded, "I already have you covered, little brother. Now, don't disappear again." She winked.

"I won't!" I smirked.

She laughed and disappeared behind those security doors. A fork was moving around a plate and someone was waiting. I held his hand and my thumb soothes on the back of his lovely hand.

"Looks like we should talk," I declared.

He nodded, "Of course, but shouldn't we deal with the dishes first?"

My head shook and led him over to the living room. He didn't fight against me this time, but he was curious for a whole week. He had to be curious as much on this case. I snuggled up on him with the furniture and he didn't even tense up.

"I was supposed to tell you what ghosts go through during the obsession process," I sighed, "I'm not sure how you'll react or anything."

Vlad nodded immediately, "I will try to be very open minded about this, Daniel. I ensure you that I understand this place a huge effect on the both of us. I can't leave you nor can you leave me."

I smiled, seeing that he understood a bit, and knowing that I was about tell him the huge deal of him being here. A mate for a mate cannot be apart for more than three days, even I understand pain can grow worse than what we feel on us as well physically damaged. No matter what I have been through, he knew the similarity of the consequences here. All ghosts should understand that. Now, he's waiting with baited breath to one of the secrets to discover from me personally.

Thankfully, Jazz didn't ruin the surprise or might have made things worse. There was no way of telling how would he respond to the truth more than I could ever count?

"Good to know," I soothed his arms, "Vlad…from what I was saying to what ghosts are capable of doing among their mating process. The second stage is," I took a deep breath; "…one carries a child within. The reason why I didn't assume you're sick is that you are having morning sickness symptoms. I was a bit concerned at first why you weren't having any, but you proved it otherwise. And I'm shutting up now." I held my breath, literally.

Vlad blinked once- no, three times.

"That would certainly explain things. Our child?" He peered over to me.

I grinned, "Yeah and I already got Frostbite to be the doctor. He's great with medical stuff and he can help out with finding out the baby's gender." I stated.

He stared down at his stomach, not much of a smile on him yet, and he was already glowing. It was one of the ghostly pregnant glows, which show their true happiness of love. My mate has accepted a child within and the happiness was like a firework in his eyes. By watching him express in his own way, it made things all warm and fuzzy when something good happened.

"A child I can raise?" Vlad's lips quivered, "Oh, Daniel, you have no idea how absolutely happy that makes me!" He struggled to keep his smile, but he tears happily about this.

Unfortunately…this is what had no happened. Vlad didn't smile or glow. He stared at his stomach like it was a freaky thing. Barely any emotions shown in his eyes and-

Slap!

He dashed off to his bedroom and the door slid close.

I had no idea what just happened here. I blinked a few times and felt the sting on my cheek. I had to rub my cheek and groaned.

"Ow," I huffed, "What the hell just happened here?" I glanced over to the bedroom area.

There was no way I'd let him get off the hook so easily and I rushed over to him quickly. He was prepared to throw the pillows at me, but I allowed him to hit me with the pillows.

"Get out! OUT!" He demanded furiously, "OUT! I DON'T WANT YOU HERE! OUT!" He hissed.

I froze and stared at him. Why couldn't he be happy about this? I finally told him the reason why he was stuck here. Vlad tried to push me away, tried to keep me off the bed, and I refused to away from him. He had to understand I love him and willing to be there for him.

"And you're just being ridiculous, Vlad! It can't be a big deal for being pregnant!" I frowned at him.

We wrestled around on the huge double time California king size bed, since we both lacked our strength from our ghost powers; we used our human's strength to deal with each other. It was constantly changing who was on top back and forth. Slowly, he was slowing down and losing control of his strength, and I finally got him pinned down. I finally breathed, but I got him to be stuck in the same spot.

"I hate you, Daniel! I hate you! I hate you!" He repeatedly said it, but no meaning to what he has spoken.

The tears slipped down to his cheeks to his chin, his strength gave up, and he curled into my arms. He refused to move himself anyway and I felt bad for him. The tears turned into a heavy rain like, weeping loudly, and clung onto me more than ever. My arms held him together and waited every second to see he'd calm down. But, he hasn't yet.

To him, it was an emotional state after finding out the fact he is pregnant. He's shocked to find out that he is carrying our baby in him and I have no idea what was going on in his thoughts.

His tears stopped pouring and worn out completely. There was no way I'd wake him up after all of this. He seems so much at peace to his sleep.

One thing for sure, he would be asking a lot of questions tomorrow and very emotional situation. Maybe there was a purpose of Spookster showing up last week and stalled my time to reveal the reason. I could see Spookster's purpose, but I won't stop my job by protecting the citizen. Right now, Vlad needed me more than anything else did and I couldn't take it away for him. He needed to see this was one of the processes of a ghost's obsession, but he won't like the third stage of obsession. I feel scared to tell him…but how will he react?

For now, sleeping Vlad was beautiful to see and much to his own peace. I was so much happier to be back with him again, despite of the outcome situation right now.

Penny for a thought please?
