Chapter 1 Jack and Maddie
Jack and Maddie followed the doctor down the long, white hall. The doctor stopped at the Intensive Care Unit. He led them to room 4. As they entered the room they saw there son. He was hooked up to a ventilator and had several needles perturbing from his skin.
"Jack?" Maddie looked to husband.
"It's alright Maddie, come on." Jack led Maddie to Danny's bed.
"Is he really half ghost?" Maddie questioned. Jazz told her parents about Danny on there way to hospital.
"It's all my fault Maddie. If I hadn't built that stupid portal, non of this would have happened." Jack was clearly blaming himself.
"Jack, it's not your fault. It's no one's fault." Maddie tried to get through to her husband, but it was no use. Jack blamed himself.
"Oh Danny, why didn't you just tell us? We could have helped you, but I can see why you would keep it a secret." Maddie said as she looked at the ghost hunting gear around her belt. "You where afraid. You didn't know how we would react."
"Danny…you are our son, we love you no matter what." Jack added.
Maddie took her son's hand. "I love you Danny." She whispered softly. She kissed him on the cheek. "I'm sorry….for everything. Can you ever forgive me?" She looked at his face as she searched for some sign of forgiveness or at least that he was waking up. All Maddie saw or heard was the simultaneous beeping of Danny's heart beat.
'I hunted my own son.' Jack milled over in his head. He had been thinking about that since he saw Danny transform back at the school. 'Why did you keep it a secret? I may hate ghosts with a passion, but this is so different. You're my son, I could never hurt you.' Jack was thinking a lot.
He was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard his wife quietly crying over there son's body. Jack sat on the opposite side of her and took Danny's other hand.
"We're here for you Danny. Please wake up." Maddie pleaded.
They sat in silence as they started at there son.
"Maddie? Who was that ghost that attacked Danny?" Jack broke the silence.
"I don't know Jack, I've never seen it before, and I don't think Danny has either." Maddie remembered how Danny acted around that ghost.
"We have to find it and destroy it!" Jack stated between clenched teeth.
"Not now Jack, our son needs us." Maddie glanced back at Danny. He looked like he was sleeping. But not a peaceful sleep. He looked like he was having a nightmare. Maddie gently stroked his hair.
"Right." Jack said seriously. "Danny, I'm so proud of you. Jazz told us that you are the good guy and the thing with the mayor was a set up. I'm very proud to be the father of Amity Park's own ghost boy." A single tear rolled down Jacks face.
"Wow Jack that was so…so…beautiful." This was one reason Maddie loved Jack. He always seemed to say the right things in the right places. This was one quality that Vlad Master lacked big time.
The Fenton's thoughts were interrupted by a small gasp. They turned around and saw Sam standing in the doorway.
Jack and Maddie looked at each other and then at Danny.
"I love Danny." Maddie whispered as she gave Danny one last kiss on the forehead.
"What she said." If Danny was awake he would have laughed at his father.
Jack and Maddie than turned to Sam.
"Take as much time as you need sweetie." Maddie gave Sam a small huge as they left Danny's hospital room.
