Chapter 9: Month 6 and Merry Christmas Danny and Desiree!
Hey guys. Another update for you. I realize that Christmas is over but, what the hell, I'm doing a Christmas chapter anyways. The only downside that I see for this story is that I have run out of chapter ideas for the couple that lead up to the main climax of this story. On the one hand, I kinda want this story finished and move on to more stories. On the other hand, I feel I would be cheating you the readers out of a good story. Please message me and give me your input on what I should do. Other than that, I do not own Danny Phantom. R&R and Enjoy.
***Christmas Eve, Fenton Works***
To any normal household, Christmas Eve would be a time of joy and celebration. Unfortunately, the Fenton family was anything but a normal household. Instead of Christmas carols playing in the living room, the sound of Jack and Maddie Fenton's annual argument could be heard through the entire house. It had been going on since the morning of December 1. In years past, Danny disliked this time of year because of the extreme antics his parents did to prove their points. His only slight reprieve was his sister and the Christmas Truce in the Ghost Zone. What made this year different from previous one was the fact that Desiree was now living with his family and he was still pregnant. Somehow, someway, Danny was even more irritated and annoyed this Christmas than any other year.
"Santa Clause is real!" Jack bellowed.
"Grow up, Jack. He isn't!" Maddie replied.
"Could you guys keep it down? Pregnant and angry are not a good combination." Desiree pleaded, only to be ignored.
"Why must you always fight me on this, Maddie?"
"I could ask you the same thing!"
While this was occurring, Danny's temper was slowly rising. Desiree was doing her best to keep him calm but it had little effect. Finally, an idea struck her. Turning to Danny, she said "I wish they would quit arguing for the rest of Christmas."
Danny gave her a relieved look before saying, "So you have wished it, so it shall be."
Snapping his fingers, there was a poof of smoke around his parents. When it had cleared, they both had a vacant look on their faces. After blinking several times, they looked at each other for a minute, trying to remember what they had been arguing about. It was Jack who broke the silence.
"Are we having spiked eggnog tonight? Vladdy and his girlfriend are coming over."
"I think we still have some rum in the cabinet." Maddie replied, giving her husband a peck on the lips and heading into the kitchen.
"I should have fallen in love with you sooner. I could have avoided so much stress by just wishing them to shut up." Danny chuckled.
"Anything for you dear." Desiree replied. "Are you ready for the annual Christmas Truce in the Ghost Zone?"
Danny let out a sigh. He had been hoping to avoid the party so they wouldn't be bombarded with questions on how they got together and the pregnancy. Desiree had pointed out, however, that their absence would seem suspicious and unwanted questions would be asked.
"I'm still not sure." Danny said.
Giving him a reassuring smile, Desiree said, "Don't worry, we won't stay for long. We'll just drop in, say hi, and come right back to enjoy the rest of the evening with the family."
"Sounds good. Just don't dip too much into the spiked eggnog." Danny teased.
"Admit it that you love me tipsy." Desiree replied with a sly grin.
Leaning over to kiss her, Danny said, "I do. Just a little jealous that I can't have as much fun as you, what with my current condition."
***1 Hour Later, Ghost Zone Christmas Party***
All the ghosts were lively and merry, celebrating the annual truce. The Box Ghost was handing out gifts. Walker was having a friendly chat with Wulf. Even Frostbite and Undergrowth were joking over glasses of eggnog.
As Danny and Desiree appeared in a poof of smoke, all eyes were glued on the couple. After a seconds pause, everyone went over to great them. Danny was immediately whisked away by Ember and Kitty while Desiree was cornered by Johnny 13 and Freakshow.
Kitty and Ember dragged a reluctant Danny to a secluded part of the party where Spectra and Lydia were having a friendly chat. Danny tried to give Spectra a pleading for help but she gave him a sympathetic shoulder shrug.
"Well, well, Desiree. You disappear for half the year and now I find you with Phantom and pregnant. Penelope and Kitty have given me some details but I think I need to hear them from you." Ember said.
Taking a deep breath, Danny, in his best imitation of Desiree's voice, gave a basic overview of how he and Desiree had gotten together, minus the body switching, and what the couple had been doing for the past couple of months. After finishing, Ember, Kitty and Lydia were trading mischievous looks.
"Hard to believe you two have been so busy. Seems like everyone is hooking up. You and Danny. Vlad and Penelope. Even Freakshow and Lydia are together." Kitty remarked.
"We ended up with quite the catch, wouldn't you agree, Desiree?" Spectra said, finishing her fourth cup of eggnog. "Speaking of catch, I need to find my man and some mistletoe." she said before going off to find Vlad.
"There she goes again. Guess we won't be seeing much of her or her man for the rest of the night." Ember mused before turning back to Danny. "Now I think you know the big question on our minds, Desiree. How is Phantom in bed?"
If it wasn't for the fact that he was stuck in Desiree's pregnant body, Danny might have seriously considered drinking some of the spiked eggnog before answering the question presented to him.
"What do you mean?" Danny nervously chuckled.
"Oh come on. We want details. Were you his first? Is he slow and passionate or rough and fast? What exactly is he packing?" Kitty asked.
Now Danny's right eye was twitching. How could he possibly get out of this situation without revealing the intimate details of his and Desiree's sex life?
***Meanwhile, With Desiree***
Johnny and Freakshow had dragged Desiree to a small table where Vlad was gazing into his cup of eggnog.
"Hey Vlad! Look who we found?" Johnny called.
As they sat down, Vlad gave Desiree a sympathetic smile while Johnny and Freakshow sat on either side of Desiree.
"Great to see you, Phantom! Hard to believe that you finally manned up and found yourself a woman. And not just any woman, Desiree." Johnny said.
"Indeed, ghost child. While I was initially appalled by your fornication with ghosts when the rumor first spread, I must admit that I have finally come around now that I am together with my Lydia." Freakshow chuckled.
"How goes Desiree and the pregnancy?" Vlad asked.
"As good as it can be. She occasionally has a moment but we manage." Desiree replied. "Have you and Penelope had any luck?"
A somber look came across Vlad's face as he shook his head. "Unfortunately, no. Breaks my heart that I can't give her what she most desires. All we can do is keep trying."
Johnny gave Vlad a sympathetic pat on the back. "Don't sweat it. It'll come eventually."
Just then, an inebriated Spectra sauntered up to the table and wrapped her arms around Vlad's neck.
"Hey honey, I think I spied some mistletoe. Care to join me?" she said in a seductive tone.
A smile slowly crept on his face. "I'm sorry gentlemen but my lady needs me. Tell Jack and Maddie not to wait up for us, will you, Daniel?" Vlad said before the two teleported out of the party.
"There goes one lucky bastard. Now, Phantom, tell us about Desiree." Johnny said, a smug grin on his face.
"What do you mean?" Desiree asked.
"You know what I mean, Phantom. How is Desiree in the sack? Was her pussy tight after not getting laid for God knows how many centuries? She good at oral? Has she let you do anal? Details, man. Details!"
Desiree was astonished and annoyed by Johnny's prying into her and Danny's love life.
Much to her's and Danny's relief, they were both saved from answering their intimate questions when they were both grabbed by their middles with extension chords and hoisted into the air to face an extremely angry and drunken Technus.
"I have a *hic* bone to pick with you two!" the ghost slurred. "You stole my *hic* girl, Phantom! Desiree was supposed to be mine!"
"Get over yourself, Technus. Now let go of me! I'm pregnant for Christ's sake!" Danny yelled.
"Don't think that *hic* you are off the hook, Desiree. Why couldn't you *hic* waited for me to ask you out?"
"Maybe because you were too cowardly and self absorbed for her to be interested in you!" Desiree yelled.
"Enough!" If I can't *hic* have you, Desiree, neither can the ghost child!" Technus yelled before more extension chords began to coil around their necks. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and Technus fell forward. This caused the extension chords to let go of the two and allowed them to float back down to the crowd. Walker made his way to Technus and slapped a pair of cuffs on him.
"Breaking the Christmas Truce is against the law, Technus. Add the assault to both Phantom and his pregnant wife, and you will be spending a long time in my jail." Walker said before leading the prisoner away from the party. After they had left, the party resumed and Danny and Desiree let out a sigh of relief.
"The babies are alright?" Desiree asked, inspecting Danny's ever expanding belly.
"Yeah. Lucky for me the chords went under my stomach."
"Glad to see you two could attend the party." came a familiar voice behind the couple.
Turning, they came face to face with a nervous looking Ghost Writer.
"How has living in each other's bodies been?" he asked.
"Certainly isn't fun." Danny said.
"How much longer until your laptop is complete?" Desiree asked.
The Ghost Writer let out a sigh. "I'm doing the best I can but I don't think I'll have it ready before the delivery date."
The couple groaned. They had been hoping they could return to their original bodies sooner than his deadline.
"Guess we'll see you when the time comes." Danny said. "Let's go home, Desiree."
With that, they vanished in a poof of smoke and arrived in their bedroom. As they crawled into bed together, they gave each other a sigh.
"Can't believe how long we've been in the other's body." Danny said.
"I know, my love. We'll make it through this." Desiree replied, caressing his cheek.
"Merry Christmas, Desiree."
"Merry Christmas, Danny."
They gave each other one more passionate kiss before they drifted off to sleep.
