Sam has got to be okay! I mean, seriously, she's my best friend and in love with my other best friend. They have been together for about six years now and Tucker hasn't proposed yet. I know he texted me about it and saying he'll be doing it soon. If that was the case, then Sam would have gone one place. That would be Jazz and heck, Jazz would have let everyone know.

So, where could Sam go this time or where could she be taken to?

"Danny! You got to find my girlfriend!" I could hear Tucker's wailing.

I sighed, "Tucker, I'm already looking! When did you last time see her?"

Tucker shuttered, "We were at the Nasty Burger and she was heading to the library she told me. I had to do stuff for my job and told her we'd meet up at the house."

"Anyone else has seen Sam the last time?" Hoping to find some serious clues.

All I want was to get home and get serious with Vlad for a change. Today was definitely not my day at all. It's worse than dealing my birthday with full attention.

"Well, there was a ghost earlier, but he was hardly a threat." Valerie spoke up.

"Who's the ghost?"

"Skulker."

To think about it, Skulker did not like Sam at all ever since we all first met him except for Valerie which was a later time.

"Yeah, I saw him too." Dani mentioned, I could tell her serious panic feeling.

"Dani, breathe please? I can practically feel it next to my feelings." I moaned.

"Hey! You got that weird feelings too, so don't push it out on me, cuz!"

Dani got a little snappy with her emotion and I flushed horribly.

"…weird feelings? Danny, what is she talking about?" Tucker had to ask that, "What feeling does she means?"

"Thanks a lot little cousin…" I muttered, "Vlad and I were doing something romantic."

"Oooh, nice!" Tucker excitement of my life.

"I figured that might happen soon." Valerie smacked her sarcastic tone around.

"Little brother? Have you find Sam yet?" That's my frantic sister.

"No, not yet. However, I might need to find Skulker. He might be the one getting to Sam."

"Then, why is he after her?" Valerie wondered.

Everyone agreed with her and we didn't know for sure yet. Vlad did threaten Skulker to not harm or kill me in anyway as he pleases. So, why is Skulker going after Sam? Why would he need her? Sure, she's human, got serious talent in fashion designing, kicks serious butts, total vegetarian since she was eight years old, and she's completely rich. So, what am I missing here?

"Has Skulker picked up new interests in anyone?"

"No." Tucker answered.

"I already told you four years ago with me, so no." Dani didn't believe it herself.

"And you already know he has interests with me as well with you." Valerie pointed out.

"…something isn't adding up. Could it be that he's working for someone new?"

To think about it, Skulker never betrayed Vlad in a need of material or equipment. So, it could be possible that new orders from someone could be the chances.

"Wait…has he met Lionel at all?" I thought.

Everyone got real quiet about it. Damn!

"YOU GUYS! You never bothered to check on Lionel too?" Now it made sense…

Sam wasn't kidnap, she's with Lionel and they're both in troubles now, and couldn't believe it at my own eyes.

"Seriously, as a team…you should really check on everyone else!" My head shook, "Valerie, you got Lionel into your suit signature?"

"Yeah, will we be able to find them?"

"As long you can find Lionel, we can find Sam. But, seriously everyone…I am not happy and you're really ruining everything else." I groaned.

I flew over to where Valerie and the rest of the gang. My team Phantom and I could see they're all growing older. Dani has become much mature and older looking. Her figure really shows much through her and surprised to see Dash isn't with her at the moment. Well, she is almost eighteen years old, according to what Vlad says. Jazz looked much beautiful than the last time I saw her and noticed her hair gotten shorter. Her fashion has gotten much better with the help of Sam. Tucker, damn, he's growing taller and good looking. I can see he has the latest technologies on him and his hair growing out like an afro almost. Valerie cut her hair very short, but I didn't mind that. It reminded me of her future self and how she used to think how cute I was. Then again, I doubt she finds me cute at all anymore.

"Any luck, Val?" My hands are on my waist.

Valerie checking on her suit, "Give me a minute, it has been due for an upgrade and I'm not sure Technus would be happy to help."

I shrugged, "Offer him something that catches his interests, he's easy to work with." I suggested.

Valerie nodded and her suit beeped twice, "Got him!"

"Good! Now, where is he, Val?"

Valerie allowed her powered up suit to bring the board and Tucker and Jazz joined up with Valerie. We all flew over to the location Lionel could be and apparently, Lionel was in his shield protection. Sam was right behind, but she's stuck against the tree. Skulker kept blasting like crazy at both of them. I glanced over at Valerie and Dani. We nodded at each other and I struck out my ghost ray, Dani did the same, and Valerie bought out her anti-ray against him. Skulker blasted out of our way and I rushed over to the two.

"Sam! Lionel!" I floated down, "Are you guys okay?"

Lionel surprised, "Danny!" He released his shield down and hugged onto me, "He-he came after me and wanting me dead! I-I couldn't let him!"

"Grrr! I'm still stuck because of that idiot ghost after Lionel! Seriously, why hasn't anyone found us two hours ago?"

Everyone else looked down about it how they didn't do a successful job here. I shook my head and tried to get Lionel calmed down. Jazz came over and he lungs over to her. I breathe heavily and met up with Dani. I spotted the ecto-glum that Skulker always uses and figured just the trick.

"Dani, just use intangible." I suggested.

Dani slapped her face and hurried up, "Sorry, we were taking forever."

"It's about time!" Sam was finally free.

Tucker rammed into her and hugged her tightly, "I'm never letting you out of my sight ever again, Sam!"

Sam was officially annoyed, "Okay, who figured out where we have been all day?"

Everyone pointed at me out of embarrassment and Sam leaped onto me for thankfulness saving.

"At least someone is still decent and how long did it takes you to find me?"

I shrugged and hugged back, "About less than five minutes."

Sam rolled her eyes, "Wow…what was everyone missing the clues for?"

"Lionel." I flatted pointed out.

"Of course…he's not an official member of Team Phantom yet."

I glared, "He is. He hasn't been much experienced as we are by the way and secondly, he's way older than we are." I stuck my tongue out, "Now, Valerie, you deal with Skulker and I'm heading home with my Vladdy." I crossed my arms, upset to see part of the romance.

Everyone awed and wanting me to stay long.

"Uh…let's just say I was showering when Dani called about five minutes ago."

Everyone blushed off to hear that and for me, I waved good bye for the day and told them I'd see them in a few weeks.

"See ya, guys." I waved and started to teleport back to the apartment.

I could tell how upset everyone was for my departing my well known home, but somehow, I miss it too much. Maybe moving here when our child moved out or something. Who knows, but heck…I miss home. It hasn't been the same at all, but why bother worry? Dani and Valerie were taking care of the town good, but fighting ghosts were my thing. Right now, being home with Vlad was the main point. He was reading his book in bed and I chuckled. He got startled with me being back and grinned to see I wasn't gone so long.

"Hey fruity, sorry about that. Apparently, everyone forgot about Lionel part of the group and ended up finding Sam after that. Everyone did miss us, though." I chuckled.

Vlad stood up with his full on robe and I couldn't wait to be naked with him. We headed back to the shower and waited for the right time for the shower to heat up. Once the shower was hot again, we made out and enjoyed our sexual touches with each other. He often place his hand down at my navel and arouse for a while. Vlad motivated me more than ever, but breathing became difficult in our rock out concert kissing.

Our feet waltzed out of the shower and we were wrapped in towels. However, the towels didn't stay on for so long no matter how much our hands tried to keep up. Our hands played each other's body, feeling so damn good about it, and falling onto the bed was perfect timing. This time, I was on top and slowly feeling Vlad's body transforming into a woman.

It's been years, but I could see much similar looks between Vlad and Lavada. They were beautiful no matter what, but somehow, I didn't care for the breasts. It was more liking entering into the body of Lavada. Vlad guided me on the way how to do it properly and encourages me to go on. His scream made me keep going, nonstop, and thrusting into him like a million of times.

"Aahh! DANIEL!" His voice felt so sensitive to pain, "UGH! D-D-ANI-EL!" He could barely say things right, but the pain felt good to him.

I kept going, knowing how much I love him, and thrusting in him was like…being feed on pain, I wanted more of it every second of it, and seeing how much I made him call for my name. It was unusual to play this role, being the one to thrust into Vlad's body, even if it's Lavada side. All it matter loved him more than anyone else on this planet, more than loving my own parents and sisters, and even myself.

Vlad gripped onto the blankets, sparing his pain down at his stomach to the vagina, and breathing to make it all disappeared. I leaned in and kissed him while pounding into him over and over.

"I love you, Vlad," I whispered, "…I'm so happy."

I kept going harder and harder with his body, the cum started to form, and felt unique. I didn't stop from there, Vlad shouted my names several times, and how much he wanted it all more for this, and it wasn't about to end. I felt Lavada's soft hair, remembering that we had a long way to go, and pushing me into him was new thing to go through. I knew how it felt, the pain he was going through, and goodness it felt.

It felt like forever doing this, but I finally stopped and crawled up to kiss Lavada/Vlad. I kissed him to steal our breath away, making it calm down, and pace our heart to normal. Lavada cuddled up with me in our sleep, allowing our naked body to warm each other, and feel good about tonight.

Tonight was certainly not ruined at all, it built our time up, and we were happy. No, in love about this sexual moment of our lives. Nothing could get better than this, why else? I watched Vlad fall asleep first and I covered us in our blanket, forgetting about everything else, and hoping to sleep well for the night. It was a lot, but knowing we did well on our own part.

… … …

The early rising of the sun started to bother me more than usual and groaning away in pain to even feel it. Why in the world did we get that curtain! I muttered about buying different ones with Vlad for the next shopping trip we do. My eyes flicked open and saw the clock. Thankfully, I had two courses to attend and the rest of the day here. Exams would be starting Monday through Thursday for me. Thankfully, I would be graduating in college.

I stretched and yawned so uncontrollably, but it was like dealing with work out last night. Then, my memory started to dawn on me and I glanced down. Vlad was Lavada and boy, the look of sleepiness was beautiful. I could see a lovely glow and I kissed on the forehead of the sleeping Fruitloop. I hummed and carefully to sneak out of the bed without waking Lavada up.

Did…we do our part right last night? Are we going to have a child in nine months? Somehow, I couldn't picture us raising the child here specifically. Maybe it's because I missed being at home and that it's time to move back. It is an apartment here, but mom and dad have wanted grandchildren. It wouldn't be fair to have the child far from their grandparents, now would it? I made a mental note of it, but rather wait until we knew for sure.

I headed into the bathroom and quickly washed my body seeing the stuff was already on me, but I didn't care. It was only for a few hours of courses today and not much to worry. Art and Science today, oh, right, and twenty minutes of English class seeing it's my major department. So, kind of three courses, but that was mainly for a fun and helpful for my career of journalist.

"Daniel?" A feminine voice perked up.

I blinked and entered into our bedroom, "Yeah, Vlad?" Started to buckle up my jeans, "Need something?"

Lavada glared, "You really should keep both of my gender's names separate, Daniel." She shook her head, "And yes, will you pick up the pregnancy test?"

I stopped fiddling with my belt and glanced up at Lavada without trying to be…a jerk about it that is.

"Um, well…I thought we were going to use the invention of yours?"

Lavada shook her head, "No…I realized it would harm me and the baby."

I blinked, Lavada had a point, and there was no way we could afford miscarriage. I sighed and came over to kiss her on the forehead.

"Sure, Lavada. I'll buy them when I finish up-"

Lavada started to rush into the bathroom and I had no clue what. Did I miss something here? I entered into the bathroom and noticed how quick Lavada needed to go to the bathroom. I shed my eyes to provide privacy for her.

"Um, is everything alright?"

"I had a strange urge to need to go to the bathroom quickly like my bladder is going to explode or something."

I nodded, "Huh, that's interesting. I'm going to make us breakfast, you just…get dress and stuff. You want anything for dinner?" Why did I get the feeling I'm more of a husband-y more here?

It's too damn awkward here and I couldn't let that out of me. Maybe that's because Vlad is a woman at the moment and it'll get time to get used to it. Oh well.

"Could you make something with eggs and French toast?" Lavada perked up with that curious question.

I felt like dropping, "Wait, what? You never had those two together, let alone you hardly eat French toast, why now?"

"I don't know, I felt like it." Lavada pointed out.

I shook my head and turned around, "I'll just go make breakfast. I have to leave in an hour and a half." I shrugged and disappeared out of the bathroom.

I went down to the hallway and went downstairs. I started to make breakfast at the first start and took a while to get how I wanted it to be. Thankfully, we have more milk. Why is that I drink more milk before exams? While pushing that behind my thoughts, I started to cook it on the stove. In my mind, thinking about back at home and what Clockwork said to me six years ago. Every four years of high school, but he didn't say I am required to follow his order. He wanted me to know my choices are and warned me that I would rise up to challenges. There hasn't been anything so hard other than dealing with keep my secrets away from the world.

"Daniel?" Lavada made me wake up to reality.

I started to put our food onto our plates, knowing I finished cooking them already, and set one down on the counter for her.

"Yeah?" I looked up at her.

"You looked out of it, badger. Is something alright?"

I shook my head, "I'm fine, Lavada. Just got a lot on my mind, especially with exams coming up Monday."

She laughed, "Of course, you always get nervous. You will be fine, you are better than you used to be six years ago."

I couldn't argue on that, "Yeah, I guess…" I started to eat my part of the food.

Lavada didn't eat her food right away, but she stared at me. It was hard to remember how much I was used to see Vlad all the time and now, he had transformed into her for our special reason.

"What's wrong, Danny?" Lavada touched my hand.

I almost flinched, "Huh? Oh, it's nothing, Lavada. I promise, if it was serious as my darker side, I'd tell you that. What I'm dealing is nothing, all I can do is study more." I grinned lightly.

Lavada disbelieved me, "Danny, I may understand we're…similar in a way, but that doesn't mean I'm stepping out of the line to let you handle something that bothers you."

Somehow, Lavada or Vlad knows something was up, but I shook my head.

"Can we talk about it later? If I say something about it now, I'll be late to class." I finished up eating my part of the breakfast.

Lavada grinned, "Alright, after you get back from college." She minded her own business and carried on with her breakfast.

I smiled back and cleared my plate off. I put it in the sink and came over to Lavada. We kissed good byes for the day and I walked out. Or in another word, fly off to college.

My mind debated for a while about our child and where can we raise the child? I do miss seeing my family and I'm not going to see them often, so maybe it would be a good idea. Will Lavada or Vlad be okay moving there? Should we move after announcing it?

Then again, what about the ghosts? I can't exactly risk fighting ghosts and knowing my own child is in danger. Will Vlad and I be able to exchange our responsibilities to fight ghosts and protect our child?

What about how to raise our kid with powers? Certainly there aren't any rules about, 'How to raise your children that have powers' guide or something. So, how do we raise our kid to use their powers correctly? Maybe Amityville is a better setting for the kid to know the responsibilities better off.

Somehow, I knew that going back home is no way of escaping. It's weighing the obvious signs how important this would be. We're moving back, but how will Lavada or Vlad takes it? My career is anywhere and I haven't exactly pinpointed a location.

Then, this is settled. I'm going to tell Vlad/Lavada one thing after finding out the pregnancy test result.
