Author: So I thought I should update the poll for who everyone thinks Danny's mom should be in this fanfic. Here are the results up to 11:45.
Ember: 4
Desiree: 3
Dora: 1
Danny's mom: 1
And the surprising Vlad: 1
Ember is surprisingly in the lead and I agree with Kixen she never really struck me as motherly just look how she treated Youngblood. Lol anyway I'll write Danny's chosen Mom in the next chapter so enjoy!
Chapter Three
Skulker floated through Vlad's portal landing on the tiled floor with a thud. Vlad, who was putting the final touches on his latest machine, turned ready to relay orders to the ghost when he stopped. Blinking once then twice Vlad was sure he was seeing things. But no even after rubbing his eyes the baby in Skulker's arms didn't go away.
"Skulker, why are you holding a child?" He asked pinching the bridge of his nose.
Skulker swallowed hard before taking a deep breath and conjuring the lie he had thought up the entire way here.
"Because T-Technus asked me to b-babysit." Skulker murmured out as Danny began to stir in his arms.
"I see, I wasn't aware that Technus had a child." Vlad said in a disbelieving tone.
"He uh messed up an uh experiment and by accident created uh Nicholas here." Skulker said as he fumbled with his lie.
"I see. Well then I can't expect you to complete this mission for me. Not with a child." Vlad replied turning away as he began fiddling with his machine again.
Skulker sighed in relief setting Danny and the bag down cracking his neck. He wasn't sure that Vlad would buy his story. Saying Technus made Danny was a little far fetched but he was the only ghost he could think of who had white hair like the brat.
"Skulker."
"Yes sir?" Skulker asked standing straight up as Vlad addressed him.
"May I ask why your ward is crawling around my lab without any clothes on?" Skulker could practically hear Vlad's eyebrow being raised in annoyance.
Chocking on the air in his throat Skulker looked around spotting Danny sitting by Vlad's feet tugging on his pant leg. Skulker also noticed that during this entire time the whelp was naked. Ripping open the bag Technus had given him Skulker was glad to see that Technus had packed him a bunch of onesies. Grabbing a bright yellow one Skulker rushed over, picked Danny up (which made him giggling as he flew through the air) and stated struggling to get him clothed.
"Will you sit still already?!" Skulker nearly yelled as Danny kicked off the onesie for the fifth time.
Vlad tried to ignore the scene happening next to him but after then tenth time Skulker failed to get the child dressed he couldn't ignore it any longer. Conjuring a butterfly out of ectoplasm he sent it over to land on the boy's face. With the child now distracted Skulker was able to dress him with no troubles.
"Skulker how much knowledge to you have about children?" Vlad asked as Skulker picked up the boy.
"Truthfully I hate kids, even when I was alive."Skulker replied.
"It shows. You forgot to put a diaper on the boy."Vlad said walking over and picking one out of the bag.
"Does that mean I have to dress him again?" Skulker asked wearily.
"Unless you prefer changing his clothes every time he has to go to the bathroom." Was Vlad's answer.
Letting out a long suffering sigh Skulker set about undressing Danny again. By the time he left Vlad's home he had a better knowledge on how to dress and change Danny. Floating through he ghost zone Skulker noticed there were less ghosts around then usual, not that he wasn't thankful. At the moment he had Danny strapped to his chest and the baby bag thrown over his shoulder. It was the most humiliating thing he had to endure since the "Purple Back Gorilla Incident".
"I hope your happy whelp. Even when you're not doing anything you still manage to ruin my reputation." Skulker scowled at baby strapped to his chest as he spoke.
Danny just giggled as Skulker continued to speak to him. Each time he spoke Danny would reply in coos and giggles making Skulker smile despite himself. They had covered the topics of "Best hunting techniques" "Greatest hunting spots" "And one hundred ways to get blood out of your clothes", by the time they finally reached Skulker's lair. Stepping inside he set the bag down and turned on the lights. What he saw shocked him all the way to his true core.
"Stupid techie, going to rip him apart when I get my hands on him." Skulker murmured as he began to navigate his way through the mounds and mounds of baby stuff that now cluttered every corner of his home.
Dropping onto his couch Skulker set Danny on his chest and closed his eyes. After everything that had happened Skulker was too tired to even bring himself to go make his dinner, or even feed his pets. All he wanted to do was lay down and sleep until tomorrow. Apparently Danny agreed with him because he tried to snuggle closer to Skulker. Without much thought Skulker lifted the kid before draping a fur over his chest then another over both of them. He was nearly asleep when he heard Danny's voice drift over him.
"...daddy..."
Shaking his head at the absurdity of the entire situation Skulker laid his head back one hand drifting to rub the boy's back. A moment later they were both asleep.
Author: Lol Skulker is finally settling into his role as Danny's new Daddy. Lol Technus is his mother not really but it made a little sense. Not that Vlad bout it at all. Look forward to the next chapter when his "mommy" is finally revealed.
