Wow. I'm actually done! (And it wasn't even that long...) It actually takes a lot off my chest to finish it. I was starting to worry! And has anyone else noticed that for every story I start I finish one? That's wierd. And now I must bid you a good night. I'm exhausted and in a very grouchy mood. Feel free to give any flames because they will be chucked gladly at my boss. I don't own Danny Phantom.

Valerie leaned against Danny, Jasmine held protectively in her arm as the breeze whipped around them. Danny's lips were thin as he stared down at the objects in front of them. Carefully Jasmine broke free of her mothers embrace, leaning forward and laying a bouquet of black roses on the grave.

A small smile graced her lips "I love you mom" she whispered. Danny looked away at some of the surrounding graves.

Absently he pulled away from Valerie, kneeling by one a few blocks away as he knelt down, fingering the name. A sigh escaped his lips as Valerie touched his shoulder "I still can't believe Vlad did that" she said softly. Danny looked down "It's like Jasmine said. He took away everything. He was trying to fix what he did wrong. Even if he was killed for it" he said.

Valerie sighed "But your now in the clear. People respect you for saving them. They also know that it wasn't your fault" she said.

Jasmine smiled "We've got each other and the world. Everything is starting to look so...peaceful. I don't remember ever feeling this safe" she said.

Valerie nodded, absently feeling her wedding ring. She then sighed "Come. Tucker said he had some news for every one" she said.

They nodded, quietly heading out of the cemetry and down the road. Danny then paused "Jasmine could you go ahead? I want to talk to your mother really quick" he said.

Jasmine nodded, turning into her ghost form she had happily dubbed Jasmine Spirit. She took to the skies, flying ahead. The parents weren't worried. Every person on earth respected the Phantom family. Danny then turned to Valerie, his eyes troubled "My father's illness is worse" he said quietly.

Valerie looked down, sighing "Danny-" she trailed off.

She then took a deep breath, turning to him "You have been through so much throughout these years. Things you shouldn't have gone through. And I know that nothing I say will help but I do have something that might cheer you up a little" she said, a small blush on her cheeks.

Danny looked at her curiously and her blush deepened "You know how you always wanted a son?" she hinted.

Danny blinked before smiling at her "Seriously?" he asked.

Valerie kissed him softly "According to the doctors it's actually twins. A boy and girl" she said.

Danny looked down "We need to think of names" he said.

Valerie's hand twined with his "I was think Jack and Saria, that was my mothers name" she said.

Danny smiled fondly at her "Sounds perfect" he said softly.

They then continued walking. Valerie then looked at Danny "Any idea what Tuck's announcing?" she asked.

Danny nodded, a smirk on his face "Our dear mayor has decided to take a fiance" he hinted.

Valerie began laughing "Star?" she asked.

Danny nodded, a smug smile on his face "Who would have ever thought?" he asked.

Valerie nodded, looking ahead curiously. She then frowned "So hows work?" she asked cryptically.

Danny shrugged, placing his hands in his pockets " The ghosts that sided with Vlad are still trying to attack and some of the newer ghosts are starting to get it in their heads that it's okay to try and attempt it. I swear it's the newest game. Luckily my old enemies have backed off. But I gotta admit, Skulker's son Blazer really packs a punch" he said with a wince.

Valerie chuckled at his expression before leaning against him, falling into his embrace as they walked. She looked at him worriedly as he winced "You're back?" she asked softly.

Danny nodded "It may be better but it still twinges" he admitted sheepishly.

Valerie nodded sympathetically "Luckily your mother should have that lotion finished soon" she commented.

Danny nodded and a small smile rose to his lips "Let's hope my dad didn't tamper with it" he joked, his smile rather forced.

Valerie sighed "Everything will be fine. Just watch. And just remember I love you" she said.

Danny looked at her, his eyes shining "I love you too" he whispered.

And with that they continued on to the town hall as around them they passed buldings, once destroyed beyond recognition. However through hard work and team work the town was slowly becoming recognizable once more. They had lost friends, family, and valuable allys but the end result was far better than anything the citizens of Amity could have hoped for.

Dreams that had become dashed were being slowly pieced together as people found comfort in the other survivors. Hope that had once been destroyed was startng to rise out of the ashes as new beginnings were formed. Granted it was not a happy ending and left a bittersweet taint on the town but that was far more than the people could have hoped for. Someday, perhaps, memories of Vlad's rule would fade.

But for now the people of Amity Park enjoyed the new joy brought to them in the form of a new couple deciding to marry. For all the fear and hatred there is in the world there is also good. And it is the good that truely matters.
