Chapter 2: Getting Together and Ghostly Poetry
Hey guys. It looks like you are enjoying the story so far. I will try to update as soon as I can. I am also working on another story but it should not interfere with this one. I do not own Danny Phantom. R&R and Enjoy.
As Ghost Writer was zipping through the Ghost Zone, he came across Johnny 13 and his girlfriend, Kitty, relaxing on a floating rock. Hoping that they would catch him up on everything that Phantom had been up to since his incarceration, he landed beside them.
"Hello there, lovebirds. How have things been since I have been away?"
"Things were great until you ruined our moment." Johnny grumbled. "What will it take for you to leave us be?"
"Straight to the point, I see. Now that I'm out, I was curious to see what Phantom has been doing?"
"Last time we saw him was in Vegas." Johnny said, lighting up a cigarette. Taking a drag, he passed it to Kitty.
"What was he doing there?" Ghost writer asked.
"Having fun. What else do you go to Vegas for?" Kitty said, exhaling a puff of smoke.
"I heard from Spectra that Phantom popped his cherry with Desiree." Johnny chuckled.
"Good for them." Kitty replied. "She deserves someone good after what she has experienced."
"Time out. Are you telling me that Desiree, the ghost that wouldn't touch a man with a ten foot pole, slept with Phantom?" Ghost writer asked, stunned at this new information.
"Did I stutter?" Johnny replied in a condescending manner.
"No, you didn't" he replied, regaining his composure. This new information would be very useful.
"Now that we answered your questions, could you leave us alone?" Kitty asked.
"Of course. Thank you for the information." Ghost Writer said before flying back to his realm. Once there, he began to construct a new keyboard to narrate Danny's tragic break up with his new lover.
***The Next Morning, Danny's Room***
As Danny slowly opened his eyes, he was happy to see the beautiful face of Desiree smiling back at him.
"Good morning, sleepy head." She said, kissing his forehead.
"It's better now waking up next to you." Danny replied, kissing her on the lips.
"So," Desiree said, sitting up in bed, exposing her lovely breasts to Danny. "How will we go about telling your parent's about us and the baby?"
"First we should probably ask Tucker and Sam to come over. They can help explain how I got my powers and how we got together." Danny said, sitting up and wrapping an arm around Desiree.
"Maybe we should ask Vlad and Penelope to come over as well." Desiree added. "If they see that a close friend of theirs is also a half ghost and is dating a ghost, they might be more accepting and understanding."
"Danny." Maddie called. From the sound of footsteps in the hall, she seemed to be heading towards his room. Desiree quickly went intangible and invisible just as the doorknob turned.
"Good, your awake. How did you sleep last night?" Maddie asked.
Danny could hear Desiree stifling a fit of giggles beside him before he answered.
"I had a great night's sleep. Is breakfast almost ready?"
"Glad to hear you slept well. Breakfast should be ready in a few minutes so get washed up and get dressed." Maddie said before closing the door ad heading back downstairs.
As soon as the footsteps faded, Desiree reappeared and gave Danny a sly grin. "So did you just have a 'great' night's sleep?"
Laughing, Danny replied, "It was fantastic last night but I couldn't tell her that I had sex last night. Then she might get suspicious before I even introduce you."
Desiree giggled. "You know that as the pregnancy progresses, we won't be able to make love. Think you can go a few months without sex?"
"I would do anything for you." Danny answered, bringing her into a passionate kiss.
"Go get ready and eat your breakfast. I'll meet you back here when you are done." Desiree said before gathering her clothes and putting them back on.
Nodding, Danny quickly jumped in the shower and got dressed before heading down to breakfast. Jack was reading through the news paper while Maddie and Jazz were chatting.
"Hey, mom and dad, I was wondering if I could talk to you two about something important that has come up."
"Of course, sweetie. You can tell us anything." Maddie replied.
"Awesome. Would you mind if I brought a couple of friends over to help explain."
Jack put down his paper and gave his son a reassuring pat on the back. "Son, whatever you have to tell us, whether it be by yourself or with your friends, your mother and I want you to know that we will love you no matter what you tell us."
Thanks for understanding, mom and dad. So I'll meet you both in the living room in about an hour?"
Jack and Maddie nodded their heads. After Danny finished breakfast, he quickly rushed up to his room. Desiree was already dressed in her usual harem outfit and ready to go.
"Just think, this will be the last time I will have to hide you from my parents." Danny said, lacing his fingers with hers.
"It will definitely be nice not having to sneak in the house anymore." Desiree replied, pecking Danny on the lips.
Desiree then phased outside Danny's house and waited for him exit through the front door before heading over to Sam's house. Knocking on the door, Danny was happy to see Sam answer.
"Hey, Danny. Is Desiree around?" Sam asked.
"I'm here." Desiree answered, briefly turning visible for Sam before turning invisible again.
"Sorry you can't stay visible. My parents still don't trust ghosts." Sam said, giving the two an apologetic look.
"Don't worry about it. We were actually hoping that you could come over to my place. We have decided to come clean to mom and dad and tell them our secret."
"Hopefully they will be accepting of you two. Want me to call Tucker and have him meet us at the house."
"We would appreciate that." Danny said, giving Sam a hug. "We were actually going to stop over at Vlad's and see if he would come over as well."
"Sounds good. Tuck and I will meet you back at the house." Sam said. Saying their goodbyes, the couple then made their way towards the mayor's mansion, home of Vlad Masters. After knocking on the door, they were surprised to see an exhausted Vlad answer the door.
"Hello, Daniel and Desiree. How might I help you two today?" Vlad asked.
"We were hoping to talk with you and Penelope. Is she home?" Danny replied, stepping inside the mansion.
"She has been feeling under the weather all day." Vlad said, collapsing on a couch.
"I'll go talk to Spectra, you talk with Vlad." Desiree said before heading towards the master bedroom.
"So what do I owe the honor of your visit?" Vlad asked, sitting up and facing Danny.
"We have decided to come clean to my parents about my ghost powers and my relationship with Desiree."
Danny went on to explain how they had been on one of their usual date until Jazz caught the two of them and convinced them into revealing their secret.
"While I'm happy to see you taking responsibility for your actions, I am unsure if Penelope or I will be able to go with you. She has been vomiting since she got up and we can't seem to figure out what the problem is." Vlad said, burring his face in his hands at the last statement.
***Meanwhile, with Desiree and Penelope***
When Desiree found Penelope, she was sitting next to the toilet, eyes bloodshot and tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Sorry you have to find me this way." Spectra said before retching into the toilet.
"What's wrong?" Desiree asked, rubbing a soothing hand on her shoulder.
"I messed up. I finally did the one thing I promised myself I would never do." Penelope sobbed.
"What could you have possibly done?" Desiree prodded, her curiosity piqued.
"I've fallen for him, Desiree."
Much to her surprise, Desiree began to laugh. "I thought that was obvious? You've kept him this long and you two seem to get along."
"That's not the point." Penelope said, "With all my previous boy toys, I used protection. With Vlad, I felt so close to him that I just forgot. Now I'm... I'm..."
Knowing what she was trying to say, Desiree brought her into a tight embrace. "It's ok. You aren't the only one that is expecting."
Spectra quickly pulled away at this and stared at her incredulously. "You to?" Desiree nodded.
"My, my, Desiree. I didn't think you two would be so busy?" Spectra teased.
"Ha ha." Desiree replied, lightly punching her in the arm. "You feeling better now?"
"Yeah. I still have to tell Vlad about our bun in the oven."
"Don't worry. Danny took it well so I'm sure he will be fine." Desiree reassured her, helping her to her feet.
As the two entered the living room, they saw their lovers chatting on the couch.
"Penelope! Your looking better!" Vlad said, standing up and pulling her into her arms.
"Thank you." Spectra replied, resting her head on his chest. "There is something I need to tell you."
"What is it, dear?"
"You know how much we have been having sex?"
"God, I can't even count how often we have." Vlad chuckled.
"Well, it looks like one of your arrows hit the bullseye. I'm pregnant."
A look of shock spread across Vlad'f face before he fell back on to the couch, out cold.
"He took it well. That's just how Danny reacted." Desiree said, trying to hold back her laughter.
"On another note, would you be willing to come over to my house and help me explain to my parents about my relationship to Desiree?" Danny asked.
"Now that I'm feeling better, I see no reason why Vlad and I can't assist you." Penelope said.
At that moment, Vlad awoke. "Are we really expecting?"
"Yes we are, Vladdy." Penelope said, kissing his forehead and helping him to his feet. "Now, if it's alright with you, I think we should help these two."
Ten minutes later, everyone, minus Danny and Desiree, were gathered in the Fenton's living room. Jack and Maddie seemed quite anxious as to why there were so many people in their house but were sure that Danny had a reasonable explanation. When Danny entered the living room he was holding hands with an invisible Desiree.
"Ok." Danny said, nervous as to how his parents would react. "Can I ask you two to turn off all your ghost weapons and gadgets?"
"Ok, but can we ask why?" Maddie asked as she and Jack powered down their weapons.
"Because of this." Danny said as he transformed into his ghostly alter ego, Danny Phantom. To say that Jack and Maddie were shocked would be an understatement. To find out that the ghost you had been trying to capture and dissect was you son was a devastating discovery.
"How did this happen?" Maddie finally managed to ask.
"Remember when you first tried to activate the Ghost Portal and it didn't work?"
Jack and Maddie slowly nodded their heads.
"Well, I decided to take a look for myself. Apparently someone put the on/off switch on the inside of the portal and I accidentally pressed it. When the power turned on, it gave me these ghostly powers."
"I still don't understand. Vlad was zapped what we were back in college and he didn't become a half ghost like you." Jack said, trying to comprehend the situation.
"Actually, Jack. That's not entirely true." Vlad said as he stood up and transformed into Vlad Plasmius.
"Vlad, if I would have know that I caused this..." Jack began to say before Vlad cut him off. "What's done is done. Besides, If not for that accident, I don't think I would have ever met this lovely lady right here." Vlad said, powering down and bringing Penelope into his arms.
"Why does she seem ok with you being a half ghost?" Maddie asked, having difficulty absorbing this new information.
"Because I am a ghost." Penelope said.
"Ok." Jack said, gripping his head from the massive headache he had developed from this conversation. "Is there anything else you would like to tell us?"
"Actually, there is." Danny said. "I would like you to meet my girlfriend."
When Danny gave her a reassuring nod, Desiree became visible before the group.
"So, no that you know our secrets, will you still accept us?" Danny asked.
Maddie stared long and hard at her son. While she was displeased that he had lied about being the Ghost Boy and had dated on behind their back, she could also see that he desperately wanted their approval of his powers and his girlfriend. Sighing, Maddie gave them a small smile.
"You really dropped a bomb on us, Danny. But you are our son and you seem happy with this woman. I would be a terrible mother if I were to try to break you apart."
Hearing that his mother was on board, Danny quickly looked over to his dad. Jack still seemed confused at this new information but gave them a reassuring smile and nod.
"Yes!" Danny cheered. He brought Desiree into a passionate kiss now that everything seemed to be going there way. It seemed as though nothing could go wrong.
"As our hero celebrates his victory,
He kisses his lover with ecstasy." said a voice with no origin.
"Where did that come from?" Tucker asked, confused at the random rhyming.
"Oh no." Danny said, fear crossing his face.
"Unfortunately as Fate would decree,
they're happiness was not meant to be."
"Ghost Writer!" Danny bellowed. "Come out here and face me like a man!"
Suddenly, the Ghost Writer appeared, floating above the group, a laptop on his knee.
"By the end of my little poetry,
Your relationship will end in tragedy."
