14 years prior

No one has been home in hours since I've began staking out the house. Not Jack, Madeline, nor their 2 year old daughter Jazz. Ah well suits me all the more, it makes putting up these hidden cameras easier. It has been 8 months since the incident with Maddie happened and it still makes my blood boil when I begin to think about it. I've been trying to come up with a revenge plan, but nothing I come up with will make her suffer as I did. Instead, I have decided to put up cameras and illegally spy on the Fentons. After that, I will begin formulating a plot against her. With these past few months, I have found myself despising the women more and more, but no matter how much I do, I can never fully hate her. Although, just because I don't hate her as I do Jack, doesn't mean I shouldn't want her to suffer. No, actually I think she should most definitely suffer. It'd be good to have her feel as I did when she abused my affection. She used and tricked me, for that she will be sorry. All I have wanted these past lonely years was love, apparently that meant nothing to Maddie. I meant nothing to her. I was nothing more than her dirty little secret, a piece of garbage she decided to throw away. She thinks that trying to cut ties with me means that that would be the end of this, but she is sadly mistaken.

After a few hours, the vultures I hired finally got all the cameras up and running. In the knick of time too because I just heard a car pull up in the driveway. Quickly I change into my ghost half, Plasmius, and fly off to my home in Wisconsin. After about an hour I return home and go to my secret ghost lab and turn on all the screens which show different parts of the couple's house. I focus on the screen that shows the kitchen, where the family is sitting in. I turn up the volume and listen to what those traitors are talking about.

"Can you believe it Mads? Our son is going to be born in less than a month now!" Booms Jack's voice, I flinch.

Forgot how annoying he was.

"I'm just as excited as you are Jack, but we still need to pick out a name." Replies Maddie, while giving Jazz some juice.

Huh, so they're having another kid...that gives me an idea. A cruel smile begins to curl onto my lips.

"Oh, right! What were our options again?"

"Well, we narrowed it down to three: Jason, Daniel and Vincent."

"Daniel sounds a bit dull don't you think?"

Out of those three options, Daniel sounds best, I found myself thinking. What am I doing? I'm already planning on wasting the kid, I don't need to be naming him.

"Dwanny! Dwanny!" Jazz beings to shout.

"What's that dear? You like the name Danny?" Asked Maddie.

"Still sounds dull, but I guess since you like the name princess, we can name your little brother Daniel. We can call him Danny for short though."

I personally prefer the name Daniel than Danny, but it'll have to do... Oh butter biscuits I'm doing it again.

"Then it's decided, his name is going to be Danny." Maddie chirped happily

Enjoy your happiness now Madeline, but come next month I'll be the one happily watching you mourn over the loss of your new born child

1 month later

"Come on, baby! You can do it!" Jack semi-shouts as he holds his wife's sweaty hands.

"AHHHHH." Is all Maddie can reply with because she's in too much pain to say anything else.

"You're almost there . Just a couple more pushes and the baby will be out." Maddie's doctor informs her.

After a few excruciatingly long minutes, Danny was born and in Jack's hands.

"He's beautiful, Mads. He looks just like you." Jack began to tear up because of his overwhelming joy.

"Let me hold him please, Jack." After he hands her their son, Maddie begins to cry a little as well.

'Oh my baby, he's so beautiful.' Maddie began to think. 'He looks nothing like his dad, he's rather small. Actually now that I think about it, he kind of looks like...him.' Maddie's eyes widen at the sudden thought. 'Stop being stupid, of course this is Jack's son. No doubt about it...Okay, maybe some doubt about it. Even if this were somehow Vlad's son, it's not like Jack wouldn't love him right? Right? ...Stop that, Jack is Danny's father.'

"Mads? Baby, are you okay? You look a little pale."

"Huh? What? Oh! Yeah I'm fine sweety." Maddie replies, being suddenly thrown out of her thoughts

"I'm just a little tired."

"You should rest a while, Danny, Jazzerincess and I'll be here with you when you wake up."

"Yeah, okay." Maddie smiles softly and closes her eyes, soon after she drifts off into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile

I know Madeline went into labour today because I had been spying on them when her water broke. Now all that I needed to do was find and kill the little brat and then watch as the Fentons fall apart. I finally found where they kept all the children and began looking for a baby who had the name Daniel Fenton.

Daisy Faden. No.

David Falls, No.

Darren Fenner. No.

Ah, here we are. Daniel Fenton.

I have to say for someone who was born with Jack's DNA, he's rather small. His sleeping face is almost...adorable. What? No. Snap out of it Masters and just get this over with. I reach down and grab the small boy, but when I begin to lift him up he whines a little and then he...he turns intangible! How's that even possible? Unless...Unless this child isn't Jack's...This child, he's mine isn't he? I have to be sure that this is true. Maybe the child had an accident in the short span of his life. With that I left for home to schedule a DNA test. All I'll have to do is go back to the hospital and get a blood sample from Daniel.

After I had everything set up a few days later I flew back to Amity Park. Maddie and Daniel had been discharged and were now home. By the time I got there it was well past 2 in the morning, so I should be able to get to Daniel fairly easy. I already knew where his room was because of the cameras I have hidden throughout the house. Once I went inside I found the little boy shockingly awake. I was surprised by the fact that he was only laying there and not crying.

"Hello, little one. I'm just here to get some blood out of you. If you don't struggle, then it would make things way easier for the both of us." I whispered to the toddler. I grab his arm and stick the needle in to pull out some blood. Instead of crying like I predicted he would, the child transformed! He turned into a little phantom with white hair and glowing green eyes.

"My, my little badger, I never thought I'd see the day where there was another halfa like me. Now I barely have any doubt in my mind about who your real father is." I had managed to get enough blood before he transform and began to give me ectoplasm instead of blood. "I do think I should be on my way...son." With a small smile, I take off for home.

The next day it was comfirmed, Daniel was my son. Not Jack's, he is mine and I will get him. I could always just kidnap him, but no I'll just wait for Maddie to call me and tell me the news herself. I don't think she'd be cruel enough to lie to her family about who Daniel really belonged to. Maybe her and I can work things out after all. She'll make the right decision...right?

Wrong.

I waited and waited for her. For years I waited all alone for my son. 14 years of watching him grow from behind the shadows finally made me snap. Daniel is mine, not that buffoon's. I understand him better than any of his so-called family and friends. My little badger will become all mine, no matter who stands in my way. I will have my little badger no matter what.

Next chapter I promise to have Vlad and Danny interacting. See you guys soon.
