Hellbreaker, yeah, but still something to look forward to if it should happen because Nick would gain more views with a release of DP again. As for the halfa, that would make sense, but his DNA shows being fully coated in ghost DNA so who's to say that he really is half and not more than that. Halfa is just what they know him by because he is human and ghost combined.

DannySamLover20, here you go.

SuperGeorgia, updated!

sammansonrepilica, very good that she didn't because I could only imagine the damage he could have caused after that.

madelinechavez77, yes, I am sure it has been since she hasn't shown any of her powers until now.

Fantasma29, no prob with the cussing, I think cursing is fine, but yeah hope enjoys the GZ!

TheAngelofIego, more!

xSerenityIsn'tAlwaystheAnswerx, well I am glad to know that the story moved you. I am so psyched to know that DP might be coming back in 2014! Hellbreaker is right though that since Nick also owns it that they would have to approve anything. They should because they would get higher ratings by adding it back to the lineup.

Amandacharlene, glad you enjoyed it so far. Here is more.

Canderemy, Amandacharlene, GlitterDaiquiri92, Eaglebucky, Danielle Fenton, xSerenityIsn'tAlwaystheAnswerx, & TheAngelofIego, thanks for adding to your alerts.


They sat at the table a few hours later, the pair of them left alone to figure out the situation, Sam still unsure how to answer him when she herself was unsure of her daughter's ghost half. It seemed like they sat there forever, both of them thinking about their daughter and what she was. Both loved her even if she was different, hell they were different.

"I'm not sure what to say," the Goth stated, her eyes looking down at her folded hands. "She never did too many ghostly things, to tell you the truth. There were times her eyes flashed green, but I just thought I was seeing things. I made me think of the times yours used to do that when you got too upset or something and that was when I saw it so I stopped thinking it was my imagination when I put that together, but I have never seen anything more than that, I swear." Now she looked at him, her amethyst eyes open to him and he could see that she was telling him the truth. She had never seen Jade do anything more than change her eye color with her more emotional times.

"So she never has gone missing or anything or shown up in some strange place when you know she was in her crib or a playpen?" Sam looked thoughtful and after a few seconds of that she shook her head. Jade had stayed in her crib, never disappearing and since Sam was rather protective of her daughter she wasn't far from her side. They had rarely gone out leaving her little opportunity to see other ghosts in action, not that the TV wasn't capable of showing that as the Goth kept up with Danny's fights and battles. She had allowed the young child to view those because she had never hidden the fact that the halfa was Jade's father, well except to Christian who had seemed intent on the child being his child as well.

"Truthfully she has never really left my side for very long and with that said I have never noticed any powers like yours." She looked out the window, the sun going down in the skies as noon passed. "I don't know if she could be considered a halfa if she doesn't have all your powers..." She looked to him now, her eyes questioning him.

"Sam, a halfa has nothing to do with how much ghost or how much human, it has to do with the fact that I am not fully human or ghost. It's a name for oddities like me and Vlad or Dani. We are part human and part ghost." He smiled at her and she smiled back because now she felt better knowing that her child did have that identity. She had been unsure with her limited powers if she was still human or if she shared her father's more unique DNA. "So, I guess that now that we have that figured out then all that's left is how our family relationship is labeled." That made Sam's brows go down, her demeanor changing like the wind shifting direction... without warning.

"Nothing has changed with us, Danny. I am a single mother and you are her father. There is nothing to change." The halfa was genuinely confused about her attitude, had thought that she had denied them becoming more because of Christopher. "I know what you are thinking and sure he was part of the issue, but Danny you didn't want what he had together, hell, you were in a hurry to remove me from the picture real quick."

"I explained that," he almost whined, his tone changing to the one he had used as a teen, one he hadn't used in a long time. The Goth before him felt like they were a pair of teens fighting over some stupid toy and she wasn't willing to part with it for a really dumb reason. She was holding on to this idea, this mistake that he had made, like it was a security blanket. She needed to let it go and forgive him because if she never did then what were they giving their daughter? What were they giving each other? There was love between them and she was refusing to see it because as a teen he had been scared and had reacted like most would. Sam lied when she said she wouldn't have reacted like he had. Hell, she hadn't had a chance to react as he threw her out.

"Danny, I am so-" That was when the most miraculous thing happened. Danny's parents stepped in, their presence surprising as the pair believed that problems were best resolved by the ones involved. They were not part of the couple and yet there they were silencing the Goth before them. You could tell that Sam was surprised and yet the look in her eyes was one of frustration and resentment that the pair decided to interrupt.

"I think you both need to stop acting like children." Danny didn't know why they were aiming at him when he had been mature about the whole thing by not fighting her with the marriage to her abuser. "Don't give me that look, Daniel," Maddie stated, Jade looking at her parents from the arms of her grandmother. "You are both forgetting that this isn't just about you anymore. This is about Jade too. She has a say in this too." Now both Goth and ghost were confused. How would their daughter have a say when she was too young to understand what was happening?

"She's right," Jack stated taking the dark haired child from Maddie's arms and placing her on the table between Danny and Sam. "Jade has a voice, and no, you may think she doesn't understand, but children understand more than you think they do. She can see that you two love each other as can the rest of us. She can see and hear the fighting, but she can hear the love in your tones and how you are with her. There is love and you both need to stop fighting it to see it." He looked to Sam now. "You need to stop falling back on what happened in the past and see what Danny wants to give you." Maddie turned to her son.

"You need to see what happened through her eyes and realize that whatever you did hurt her and has affected how she sees you now. It isn't black or white. It's grey and the sooner the pair of you see that then you will see what needs to be done." Stepping out of the room they left the small family to think about what they had said. Danny was the first to break the silence.

"I never meant to hurt you, you know. It was a terrible thing, but I didn't know what to think. I loved you, but I didn't want to lose you either. You know how I can be."

"Clueless, but I guess I'm not much better when it comes to failing to see the other side of things either." It was a start and sure it would take awhile for them to get to where they used to be, but it would be worth a shot. "How about we start slow?"

"We have been rather friendly lately," he stated making the Goth turn red instantly. "How about a date this Friday?" She nodded. "I'm sure my parents would kill for more time with their only grandchild." Smiling at him she looked down at their silent child to find the halfa child smiling at them both. If she understood them it was because her parents were smart when it came to brains, but rather clueless when it came to emotions.


In the weeks to come it seemed that the couple was getting along, their relationship slow in the making as the first date went off without a hitch, the pair going to Nasty Burger like they had years ago it seemed. Jade thrived with her parents' adoration and yet though it all seemed great they still had yet to move past the dating part of the relationship...

Danny sat before his daughter, closer to two now as she had been a little more than a year old when he had first seen her. Smiling at her he felt that his smile was forced and it seemed that Jade noticed it too as she frowned at him, her small hand reaching out to touch his cheek.

Smack. Smack. Smack.

Three times she slapped his cheek, not in anger or even hard enough to hurt. It was more like she wanted him to butter up, his attitude less than cheerful. Sam was in her study working on a book she had started on the day he had shown up with questions about their child. It felt like it was just days ago, but he knew it had been longer than that and that. There was the problem though. They had been dating for what felt like ages and yet the Goth didn't allow him too close, never giving too much information out about what she had been doing since their first time together. She had been very secretive and although she had promised to give him a chance she didn't really seem like she was trying. It was a lackluster relationship and he wanted more from her. She didn't really let him kiss her, their kisses more like chaste pecks on the lips. There was very little in the way of touching, except when in front of Jade where she held his hand or leaned on him.

She acted like she was in love, but only when Jade was around and other than that she was completely withdrawn. It was a side of Sam that he hadn't really seen before and he didn't like it. So picking Jade up he moved her toward the TV where he put on an episode of Phineas and Ferb. After ensuring she was comfortable in her chair he headed off to find Sam only to find that the door to her study was locked, something she never did. As he made a move to go intangible he heard her begin to talk.

"Yes, everything is going according to plan." It sounded like Sam, but who was she talking to? "No, he hasn't figured it out, not even Jade has figured it out amazingly enough. You would think that the child would have felt it." The halfa attempted to phase through the door only to find he was blocked, his ability to go into the room through the walls null and void. "I must go, but I will talk to you later." A few minutes later the door opened and Sam appeared, her gaze shuttered. "I have it like that for a reason."

"Who were you talking to?"

"None of your business, Danny. I have my life and you have yours." Danny's eyes narrowed, his ice blue eyes staring deeply into Sam's amethyst ones. "Now, if you are done playing daddy then I would like you to go home as I need to get our daughter ready for her nap." Danny didn't know what to say and since he didn't want to push too hard with her at the moment he nodded and headed out leaving the smirking Goth behind.
