Author's notes: please forgive my laziness, but I will not be covering the specifics of either Danny's confession to his parents or the wedding. If you want to see Danny confessing to his parents, read Ch.3 of my story, The Road to Understanding II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Danny finally revealed his secret to his parents, and the event transpired just as Danny had predicted. They accepted the knowledge of him being half-ghost with understanding, forgiveness and fascination. They were upset about him becoming a teenage parent, but no more so any parent would.
Jack and Maddie met Ember, and got along with her well. The two scientists were curious as to the nature of Ember's pregnancy and ran several noninvasive tests on her. They were mostly doing this because of the new information that ghosts could reproduce.
Danny and Ember's wedding was a modest affair. The ghostly couple exchanged their vows in front of Clockwork within the temporal spirit's citadel. Danny's friends, immediate family and some of his ghost allies attended, along with Ember's mother Smyphonia.
After the wedding, Ember had moved into the Fenton household. She got along well with Jack and Maddie. The two scientists were going to make arrangements for when Ember gave birth.
A few weeks had passed since the wedding. It was now a weekday afternoon, meaning Danny was at school. Ember was sitting on a chair in the living room, playing her guitar while Maddie was doing some house work. Jack was in the lab, working on his latest invention.
Ember stopped playing her guitar and faced Maddie. "Can I ask you something, Mrs. Fenton?" Ember asked.
"Of course Dearie," Maddie said and and sat down across from Ember. "Although, please call me Maddie."
"All right, Maddie. What made you want to marry Jack Fenton?"
"To put it quite simply, I was drawn by his eccentric charm. But why do you ask?"
"Just curious," Ember said and paused for a moment. "Tell me, did he ever try to leave you after you became pregnant?"
"Of course not!" Maddie practically shrieked. "A few years into our marriage, Jack was eager to start a family. Almost as eager as he is when it comes to things relating to ghosts or fudge."
"I ask because my father abandoned my mother after I was conceived. I was afraid that Danny might have done the same after I told him about my pregnancy. I was so relieved when he decided to stay with me and raise the child. Your son is an amazing person Maddie."
"So I've been told," Maddie said, remembering all the things she had been told stories about her son's heroic exploits. Even though she had not seen those events, she was still very impressed.
"There is one last thing I need to ask you," Ember said and took in a deep breathe. "Do you hate me for becoming pregnant with your teenaged son's child?"
"Oh sweetie," Maddie said and gave Ember a hug. "I was surprised and... disappointed when Danny told us about your condition. But I don't hate you. Danny loves you enough to stay with you and raise the child. As far as I'm concerned, that makes us family."
"Thank you," Ember said and returned the hug. "I feel a lot better about having this kid."
