Chapter 9

"I did it, Daddy," Hailey murmured as Danny laid her down on her bed. "I'm just like you."

Danny smiled, tucking the blankets around her. "Yeah, you are, princess." He kissed her on the forehead. "Next time, try not to exert yourself so much."

She nodded. "I love you, Daddy," she mumbled with her eyes closed.

"I love you too, princess," he whispered then walked out of the room, heading for the room he shared with Sam.

He sat on the bed, grimacing as he rubbed a sore shoulder. The adrenalin rush from everything that had happened had faded fast leaving him tired and sore. Sam emerged from the bathroom dressed in a robe and still drying her hair. She climbed onto the bed and knelt behind her husband, raising her hands to massage his shoulders. He sighed, closing his eyes and leaning his head to the side.

"Is Hailey okay?" she asked softly.

"Yeah, she was just tired."

"How did she do that?"

He laughed. "Well, you did marry a halfa, honey."

She smiled, setting a gentle kiss on his neck. "You know what I mean."

"It probably came up because it was such a stressful situation. You've seen how my powers can react because of stress."

She smirked. "Or because of—"

"Let's not go there," he said, opening his eyes to give her a playful glare.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, hugging him tightly. "At least I have my husband back and my little girl's okay," she whispered. "I just hope the baby is too."

Danny looked at her. "DJ's fine, honey. He was passed out on his bed when I checked on him."

She giggled. "Not that baby, silly."

"Huh?" He turned around so he faced her, sitting cross-legged on the bed. "Sam, what aren't you telling me?"

She smiled, setting one hand on her stomach. "I'm pregnant, Einstein." Danny's jaw literally dropped. She laughed then kissed him on the cheek. "You're so cute. Now, come on. I'm tired, and I want to go to bed."

Hailey looked down from where she stood on the roof of the house before backing away and wrapping her little arms around Danny's leg. "I don't like heights, Daddy…"

"You're going to have to grow out of that, Princess, if you want to fly," Danny said gently.

Hailey was now nine, and she and Danny had worked on strengthening her powers for the last year. She could now change in and out of ghost form with ease and could use her other powers well without weakening herself. Now, daughter and father stood in ghost form to test her flying. Her ghost alter ego wasn't that much different from her dad's. Her raven hair was white, her blue eyes now an eery green, and she wore an almost identical jump suit with an H instead of a D. The H had been her own idea.

Hailey swallowed as she looked down again. She didn't want to be up here. She wanted to go back inside where DJ and her baby sister and her mom were. She didn't like being up here where she felt the wind could sweep her away and throw her onto the ground for her to be smashed to pieces. She gripped Danny's leg tighter, burying her face in the side of his thigh. He smiled down at her and gently stroked her hair.

"I don't want to do this, Daddy." Her voice quavered just a little.

Danny picked her up, gazing into her frightened, tearful, glowing eyes. "I'm going to be right next to you, Princess. I'm not going to let you fall."

Hailey wiped her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded. "Okay."

"Okay." He set her back down, keeping hold of her hand.

She closed her eyes, griping tightly to Danny's hand as they stepped off the roof. She peeked open an eye and gasped, clinging to her dad tighter. They were floating only five feet away from the house, but the street was so many feet below them. Neither of them moved, hovering as they were. Hailey looked up at Danny who smiled at her before gently prying her off him and holding her hand loosely. She looked back down at the street before slowly, ever so slowly, letting go.

A/N: Well, it's finished. BTW, Danny does return the plans. I just didn't feel like putting that in the story.
