Okay! Lalala, I will overview the last few chapters for you. Hopefully, it'll clear things up for you and anyone else. Just be lucky I managed to squeezed my time while packing and writing in between today. I'm moving into dorms in the morning! :D But don't go thinking it's the last chapter! I'll make time on the weekend or something.
Overview: Danny is viewing the differences of their lives of being archenemies for five years VS. not having one for five years. However, as you can see, Jackson is struggling to confess his feelings for Vlad and it's more difficult since they have known each other for five years as 'archenemy' and nothing more. Vlad is constantly obsessed with the idea of having Maddie as his wife and not moved on from his crush. Nor has he forgiven Jack on betraying him or causing the first Hybrid on Vlad. Danny believes he can help Jackson to make their relationship better and turn it out like the relationship he is having with Vladimir. Danny kept the 'pregnancy' out of it to avoid the whole ruin the surprise to what a halfa can do or their ability to be pregnant.
When Danny tells Vlad about the pregnancy, Vlad was only viewing it to have a baby he always wanted and the key to move on his life for good, and unfortunately, Jackson doesn't view it so well for Vlad to leave him after raping him and he's more confused. Vladimir thought Vlad was stealing his boyfriend, Danny. So, it's natural for him to become possessive over his boyfriend. Now, Vlad realizes what he has done and learns what Jackson's true potential for the past five years.
Any question? I don't bite, but hopefully, this will clear things up. If not, say something. I won't mind clearing your answers. Okay, enjoy the chapter for this week. I may end up having one chapter per week from now on. It'll be flexible to my schedule.
Let's just say dinner wasn't easy to stomach down and only eating turkey and Jackson could only eat mash potatoes after getting sick at the sink while trying the turkey with gravy. I believed it was gravy thing that caused our stomach turn around.
Of course, Jazz believed he's trying to be strong about it with the rape scene and his stomach couldn't handle the abuse. So, it was a debatable reason.
Vladimir held my hand while mom and dad questioned us about our hybrid and everything. Jackson was more surprised to see how opening our parents truly are. I mean, sure, be afraid to tell them and find out they're going to dissect us and cut us up into molecule by molecule. Thankfully, parents always come first than ghosts will always be.
I set up a plate full of food and decided to check on Vlad. No one but Vladimir noticed, but my boyfriend managed to sneak his phone number into my phone in case of an emergency. Damn, he's too good! I teleported out of the house to his mansion.
Vlad was sitting up at the trap out of his boredom and he didn't notice me. I waved and he glanced up to do so. I bent down and phased through the plate for him. He accepted it and helped himself to fill up his stomach.
"How is he?" He asked quietly.
I sighed, "He's trying so hard, but I don't think his stomach can handle it so much. You really crossed the line, Vlad." I told him.
He set the plate down on his lap and thought about what I have said to him. It was more than we could imagine in this situation, but I should have fought harder to make sure this didn't happen at all. Now, it's too late.
"How come you didn't try to stop me from doing it?" He asked quietly.
I sighed, "Vladimir got clingy on me, okay? I tried before he came into the room, but it was late to stop that from happening." I rubbed in the back of my neck, "Just curious, what did you say to Jackson? I'd like to hear from your side of the story."
"After we got into the room, I threw him onto the bed and he was startled. He asked me what was going on. I told him to shut up. I began to rip his clothes off and he tried to stop me. I got him down on the bed and told him he will give me what I want and he won't have a choice. Anything he will do, I will make sure it goes smoothly as possible. He screamed while I hurt him…" Vlad couldn't continue on, deeply afraid to make it worse than it already has.
It was exactly as Jackson has told my sister, all the right emotions, and it has gotten out of hand. Vlad regretted doing it to him, but it was because of his egocentric getting into his big head about having a little piece of mom.
"…I told him that child will be mine without a choice. That anything he tries to do, I will make him suffer." Vlad covered his mouth and feeling terrible of his action.
There was so much to be done for Vlad and tonight won't be easy.
-Jasmine's Point of View-
Danny came back home safely and the guilt was riding up on him. For his emotions, I was concern why he had to be so down about this. Then again, he could be feeling sympathy for the other Danny, Jackson. Jackson hasn't been doing so well ever since Danny bought him home. My brother's boyfriend hugged him to welcome back home and took comfort in the idea that nothing seriously happened.
"I want to see Vlad," Jackson insisted.
One thing for sure, he's definitely Danny for Jackson. I always have seen stubbornness in Danny and he would do whatever it took to get what he wants or gives up to earn it. Unfortunately, I had no idea what this Vlad was capable of. Danny's boyfriend ensured me that he temporarily removed the man's ghost powers for twenty-four hours.
Jackson defended him right off the back as if it was natural. If the universe of theirs was considering it their 'norm', I supposed I couldn't rattle up something I have no clue about. Jackson already trusted me due to the fact I'm Danny's sister. I wonder what the other me has put up with him.
"Jackson, are you sure? I mean, I just saw him and he's…beating himself up about his action." My brother told him.
Jackson nodded without hesitation, "I'm sure, dammit! Vlad is my responsibilities!" He pouted.
It's strange the way he placed the 'responsibilities' of Vlad. Why was he responsible for Vlad? For what reasons? Jackson hugged himself in some sense of support and Danny stood there to see how difficult to deal with himself…or another Danny. Mom came up to my side, confused since she has no idea what has been going on, and I checked on Danielle with dad.
"I'm surprised the two universes aren't collapsing with another Danny being here." Mom commented.
I sighed, "Mom, Clockwork worries about that. Not us, our job is to deal with ghosts and other crazy mayhem." I tapped my chin, "Is there something you need, mom?" I looked over her.
Mom watched the three men in the kitchen, discussing about being sure to see Vlad, and she was out of it.
"Is this normal for…Jackson to be here?"
To much of my dismay, "If Clockwork sees it as it fits, then yes. It's normal. To us, no. This is the first time for anyone from another universe to be here." I shrugged.
Mom nodded along, avoiding particular questions, and left us alone. Jackson was easily upset that the two wouldn't understand, even myself I couldn't understand. I gathered myself along with them and faced him personally.
"Jackson," I met his eyes, "Why are you saying you're Vlad's responsibilities. It makes no logical sense in this field at all." I scratched my chin out of curiosity.
His pierced blue eyes enlarged to such question, but the other two remained questions to my personal theory. Jackson took a deep look at me, not rushing his answer, and knowing I wasn't any different from the sister he knew in his universe.
"It's because I changed the timeline for him a few years ago…actually, five years ago. My life without him didn't feel right for some reason. I fought so much against the Observants and they found the loopholes with me. They stated that Vlad is my responsibility once the timeline is changed. If there were another asteroid that threatens Earth again, they would refuse my second chance to change the timeline. I cannot change it back to what it originally should have been and there's no way of reverting it. I accepted it just to have Vlad back in my life and he's always my responsibilities since then." His hands curled into a fist, held his place, and not once, there was a lie through him.
Jackson has meant every word of it and now, I can see why. It made logical sense and adding onto the psychologist situation. He's willing to sacrifice everything he had to keep his responsibility to look after Vlad regardless to what he has done. He's struggling to keep the man in his life and much to have a relationship. My brother was stunned to learn more about this and Vladimir had no idea. Let alone a five year dedication to his promise of it endless responsibility. No matter what his Vlad has done, he would have done anything to keep him around. My head nodded and couldn't deny that.
"Supervisions for the first week. Second week, we'll let you both be alone. Third week, I will like to analyze him and you. Fourth week, will be best to return to supervisions. Fifth weeks, discussion as a group about the outcome." I grinned.
They blinked at me at the prepared plans and Jackson at unease about the whole idea. It was simply a challenging start for Jackson. Perhaps I went overboard on the idea since it's complicated to know how long the two would be here for. Would the other Jazz fill in the rest of my plans or would Jackson avoid this as he goes on his own plans?
"So can I see him now?" Jackson wasn't patience as I thought of him to be.
I broke through, "I guessed we cannot avoid this. Are we teleporting?" I wondered.
Vladimir touched my shoulder to teleport while my brother teleported Jackson. In front of us, I witnessed a blue transparent box that held Vlad inside. He was surprised to see our arrival, but his dark blue eyes focused on Jackson alone. Jackson walked up to him slowly and knowing the barrier prevents them to touch each other. It was safe to say the invention was useful at a time like now.
"I-I…have gotten a little out of hand, Ja…Daniel." He lowered his eyes.
Jackson hugged himself, "You could have asked and we would have worked things out…like we always do." He gulped.
Vlad nodded, "I should have."
They were pure quiet after that. The way their conversation has started and finished, it based on their emotions to show how they felt about everything, and how much has grown onto each other. They have known each other for five years, my brother knew the man less than a year. The difference was…Vladimir continued his life like decent people.
Vlad was rather disappointed in his action and normally, I'd jump conclusion on Lima Syndrome. However, the differences were they're half ghosts – hybrid ghost. After spending time with Danny, I picked on the fact he's more drawn to ghosts rather than being a human. For more than I can count, he has 'transform' to Phantom several time and enjoys being a ghost. Even though my brother is half ghost and half human, ghost form has always come on stronger for anything.
I hadn't had the chance to read into the book Danny got me and it would certainly help me out right now. The thing is, I know ghosts follow a mating system because of Skulker and Ember. After discovering they have a mating system, it built reasons for Vladimir to chase after my brother for so long and how much this hurts Danny. That's what Jackson is doing, being the mate for Vlad, and Vlad has been blind for five years. Heavens knows why they didn't get together any sooner at least start of last year.
"I forgive you, Vlad…but will it kill you to ask next time?" Jackson asked.
Vlad sighed, but he didn't dare to smile, "Thank you, but from now I will. Since I have been foolish and you're probably already knocked. I want you to keep the child and keep it away from me. I deserve none of that." He decided.
Jackson stunned at Vlad's newly behavior and it was natural. When someone comes to their realization, they will do anything to be forgiven completely. Danny believed in Vlad for some reason and Vladimir shook his head. Vladimir didn't approve of the outcome and it was only a start. We're supervising them to keep them balanced temporarily and hopefully, it'll somewhat return to their definition of normal.
Jackson stared at Vlad, "I c-can't raise the kid myself, Vlad. I need you…I need you," He whispered.
Vlad shook his head, "You will be fine without me. I will pay for child support, but nothing else."
Jackson struggled to win Vlad's heart on the decision and begged him to help raise their child. It broke my heart to see them making everything so uprising on the occasion and they had a long way to go to make it worth it. Danny hugged himself and Vladimir held my brother to spare their time for now. Thankfully, I didn't bring my boyfriend home for the holiday or it would have been a terrible timing in a state like this. Danny still doesn't have a clue, but he has his own situation to deal with. The night dragged on with the two talking out their future, relationship, and raising the child. Nothing will it ever be easy for the complicated hybrids.
