I apologize for such a long wait! I have been so caught up with school, work, study, and other stories, but fear not! I haven't forgotten about this one! For being such great readers you guys are, I'm posting two chapters today!

Beta'ed by Dragonian Master! :D She is doing such a fantastic job!

It was not easy to get through the entire night, but most of the time was sleeping. Vlad barely noticed the mark down below and he was more willing to accept his submissive role to me. We talked that we're a team and we are each other's friends from now on. I had to explain to him that as a king, they need a mate – or can have more than one mate – to store power balance, especially offspring to include. Vlad was shocked to learn he must have a bond ceremonial and I told him that we still have time before I am twenty-four, so there isn't any rush to it. The bond is similar to marriage, only being in love does not require. A bond is whereas they are promise to rule the ghost zone and not let one defeat them. If I were defeated, the bond would end it all. Unfortunately, Vlad knew I was somewhat impossible to defeat.

After that talk about the bond, he fell back to sleep easier to finish off the rest of the six hours left. He's still sleeping right now and twenty-four hours was completed. He wasn't holding onto me the entire time, but he hasn't trusted me yet. My core allowed the ice to break from Vlad's manhood and I knew he wasn't blue. I phased it back under his clothes and his body stops shaking finally. The blanket was cover onto Vlad and I went over to the bathroom to take a shower.

I knew he needs to eat first and get that taken care of first. Sam should be eating at the dining room. The shower was quick because I knew Vlad would easily wake up without me close by to him. I leaned by the doorway, watching him sleep comfortably on the bed, and his words echoed in the back of my mind. How he begged me not to take our daughter away from him…how he will do anything…how willing he will be mine. The marking does have its effect and if anyone attempts to claim him, Vlad will immediately resort to me. The ghost zone will then talk to realize the differences.

He groaned as he slowly wakes up and I walked up to him. My butt sat down on the end of the bed and wait for him to be ready for a greet. His body couldn't exactly move out of the position he's in, but I had to let him free now since the marking is over.

"You can sit up now." I told him.

He sat up willingly and stared right at me with those petrified eyes, "I don't like this, Daniel."

My head shook, "Neither do I, but we both have no choice." I hated his expression, "Vlad, I don't take advantage of my power over people." I offered my hand, "How long have you known me for?"

"Almost eight years." He realized where I was heading into right now, "You really had meant your words, haven't you?"

I nodded, "Yeah." I smiled, "But we're friends helping each other out. How's that for a start?"

Vlad accepted my hand. My feet helped to balance on the ground and he used my hand to pull himself out of the bed. My eyes glanced over to his baby bump, even though it's small…I was excited for her to come.

"Like those…friends with benefits?"

I felt like he shouldn't have been sleeping either! Ugh, he really knows how to turn me away so easily and there's nothing I could do about.

"Let's get something to eat. I think our little girl needs some food right now." I had no needs to think about that right now.

We went to the dining room and Vlad observed the place closely to himself. At least we're not walking down the hallway with holding hands. How awkward would that get?

"Is this your castle, Daniel? Or Pariah's?"

I chuckled, "It's mine personalized by the ghost zone. Each king and queen has their own palace unless they grew up there. It's been three thousand years since Pariah became the last king of all ghost zone." I pointed out, "Since I didn't claim his castle, I got a personal one here."

Vlad nodded, "Interesting, despite of the fact you are a hybrid…do this castle serves human side like food wise?" He wondered.

"It does, my team and I come here a lot since I was two years as Phantom. The last time I was here was for Winter vacation." I sat down and my food appeared automatically.

I'm having one of that good spaghetti pasta with delicious meatballs rolling around. Vlad didn't sit down right away and observed how it worked. He sat down across from me and his food appeared as well. He got a similar chicken he had back at the restaurant he found to be tasty – Erm, the night we got drunk that was. He helped himself to his glass of orange juice and his meal. The footsteps made me realize Sam was still here.

"I figured both of you boys would be out early." She commented.

Vlad glanced up to her, "Didn't we see you twenty-four hours ago?"

Sam shrugged, "You did. Danny saw me once after five hours of you being here. I'm aware of the marking, but I don't know what types there are anyway. I've been here almost twenty hours." She sat down and her vegetarian burger appeared with an apple.

"I'm surprised you're being civil with him, Sam." I teased.

Her eyes rolled, "I have to or your king side wouldn't like it to the way I'd treat your mate. Even if you're in denial."

I slurped my noodles, "We're friend mates, and right now, we're hungry."

Vlad turned quiet, but his emotion spoke loudly to me, and how surprised he was about me. I wasn't going to hide our situation and besides, I've gotten an actual excuse: .Drunk!

"So, how are you going to explain this to Mrs. Fenton?" Sam brought this up.

I shrugged, "Probably tell her straight to the point or something."

"And the baby?" Sam pointed at Vlad.

I looked over to him, "Do you want to be the one announcing the news?"

"If I know your mother well, she will request proof of the baby. I suppose why not, but I will need an ultrasound." Vlad thought ahead immediately.

I nodded, "There's one in the Fenton Hospital wing in the lab. I mean, there's no rush."

"Actually, since I have no family members to tell. Yours will be the best I can get…despite of the circumstances." Vlad bites his chicken.

"I'm betting someone is going to faint," She chuckled darkly about it.

Then our late lunch moment turned quiet when Sam did that. For now, food was needed and there's one thing is needed to do one last thing before leaving here. Sam finished her veggie burger and took a drink of her soda.

"I'll meet you boys there in a couple of hours or so, but I'll say I'll order pizza for dinner and-"

"-No onions" "-No onions" We both said.

Sam's eyebrow went up suddenly when this was spoken in an union.

"Vlad can't stand onion because of his pregnancy."

She nodded slowly, "Should I avoid garlic too?"

Vlad chuckled, "I'm fine with garlic, but coffee I cannot stand." He added in.

"Oh, I'll be sure to get those gone before you guys are at the Fenton house." Sam nodded, "Anything else you can't stand around?"

Vlad hummed, "Not really. I really don't know what to expect."

"I really don't want to know either…" Sam muttered and waved as she walked out.

Luckily for me, I finished my spaghetti meal and Vlad had finished his within two minutes ago. He was really quiet, but nervous more than ever. I sighed and knew what he wanted.

"Vlad, just be you. I mean, let's face it…all mothers are terrifying is because they're the ones in charge of almost everything. I'm not going to demand you to do things that isn't necessary. The marking is only a one-time thing for you and the only thing you can't do is date other people and threaten my dominate role." I explained.

His sapphire eyes cornered to me, "You wouldn't mind carrying at least one for me?"

I smirked, "Don't humiliate me in front of my friends and families, alright?"

Vlad was screaming happy and I guess I couldn't blame him. He's been asking that since two days ago! In a way, I had to hide my pride so he can be happy. It's actually nice.

"Does the castle provide lube?" He had to ask that?

I chuckled, "Yeah…under the bed. This castle sort of knows you by personalities, but it literally senses everything about you." I explained to him.

Vlad nodded and accepted how the castle works. I stood up and Vlad followed the same. Suddenly, he had his hands on my shoulders and he was making me more nervous. Cool it, Fenton, I'm only doing this to show Vlad that I can make him happy! It wasn't easy to be a reminder of myself about this situation and my feet kept heading to the direction to the bedroom. What worse is that he's massaging my shoulders!

We finally got to the bedroom –

What the? It changed completely to romantic night here! Candles were everywhere and the bed was a shape of a heart. Seriously? Does this place think we're a girl? At least the bed is in purple instead of pink, which I can handle, but seriously? A heart bed?

"I'm going to bury my head under those pillows and get this over with." I said.

"How about take your clothes off first?" Vlad suggested.

I shrugged and headed over to the bed. My intangible came to remove my clothes but to my boxer. My hands grabbed a couple of pillows and covered my face. Honestly, I wasn't too sure what to expect and his clothes dropped to the ground. I easily heard it, but I'm supposed to know anyway since he's…well, my friend mate. He was slowly coming onto the bed by bring the bed down slightly, but he was moving closely to me.

My body nearly jumped when his hands landed on my thighs. This was not helping me! I figured trying to sleep might work and kept my eyes closed, pretending that my body was aching, and that's all.

Suddenly…my body moved towards his fingering me with a lube. I mentally pretend it was a nightmare…

It was too much to handle for me. The pain hurts, but my body was against me. Then he stopped after getting all of his fingers inside of me. His hands lifted both of my legs onto his shoulders and his body leaned closely. I could feel the hard pain below and the intense warm between us.

The tip of his member was slowly entering me and it was stretching me out alive. My mind telling me there was no way I should even be able to stretch out like this, but it burns so badly. I wanted to run out of this, but I can't…I can't hurt Vlad anymore. I can't let the ghost zone fall back to King Pariah's hands again. My eyes tightened up and the tears escaped because he was deep into me.

The burning was aching, screaming at me as if I was on fire, and how easily I wanted to get out. I tried to breathe and remind myself it was only for Vlad's happiness. He was easing into me and out slowly, almost feel like I am ripping apart internally, and how I could wish this would go faster!

His hands held my naval area to hold me down and how tight everything was for me. His member was so huge, impossible to take it all in, and somehow, he was able to stick himself into me no matter what. The speed slowly picked up and how much I screamed, couldn't hold it anymore, and he didn't stop.

The burning turned numb…no! Intense, my heart was beating so fast, and nearly couldn't hold it all together for this long. It had felt like the urge to burst already and I don't know how long I could.

The wetness on my face was telling me it was heating up and sweating down like crazy. Vlad pounded into me so hard, but my body approved it. It yearned for it more and more.

Something had felt hot shooting down inside of me. The more hot sensation burst inside of me like crazy as if my body could hold them all together. My body was taking it like a possessive prize.

I pulled the pillows away from my face and saw him thrusting into me. He was so blushing red, his hair wasn't held in a ponytail anymore, and his panting was so easy to hear. His emotion was so satisfied, but he wanted more of it. He hasn't noticed me watching him.

Why aren't I gross out? I was so confused and decided to hide back under the pillow. I could suddenly feel the fastest speed from him and hardly could hold on.

He slipped out of me after the last burst. He collapsed onto my left side on the bed and he was trying to breathe again. Inside of me had felt so empty, so…numb temperature. Yet, it felt so wet inside of me and novelty experiencing for me. This was something I had not expected.

After a few settling minutes, I knew we couldn't stay in bed forever and I wasn't exactly comfortable about this yet.

"Why don't you go take a shower, Vlad? The bathroom will give you your preferred clothes. It's on the left side of the bedroom." I pointed to where it should be.

He took a deep breath, "Of course, being clean is best to do. And thank you, Daniel…I needed that."

I hummed, "Glad to help…at least we can both look forward to their birth."

Vlad chuckled lightly and got out of bed to head into the shower. Once he was in that room, the pillows were removed for the final time and I saw how messy it was. I blinked and couldn't believe it! There were so much cum and blood, even on me…

Somehow, it didn't feel so wrong and I didn't understand why. Could it be mainly the fact we're both accepted to this whole dominate and submissive mating situation? I wasn't too sure. Right now, I needed to get dress and I had to get out of bed. It had felt so strange to move out of bed. It was a light aching and awkward to move around at all.

My head shook and shrugged it off. My personalized castle gave me my usual clothes and I got dressed – after using intangibility to get the blood and cum off me. I got dress and wondered a few things on my mind. Why was I okay when I saw Vlad in action? In a way, I felt confused and scared to my mind. I wasn't too sure how to cope this properly without jumping conclusion. Maybe I saw this is normal…accepting my king role already.

No…that wasn't it and I can't understand why. I doubted Jazz and Sam could help me out this time. I mean, they can change their mind on whose their mates can be and call off the claiming. In my position…I have no choice.

Next chapter is set to go~
