She knew Danny's old habits, and Dani had them too. One warm glass of milk with a sugar cookie was a way to dream land.
"How do you know this?" whispered Danny picking up the child.
But Jazz smiled remembering how she did this to Danny a while back. Daniele may look twelve but her mind is still of a kid, she though petting her head, "Dani can sleep in my room"
"She is not that light in her human form" Danny mummbled as the sleeping girl was handed over to him.
"What's that, Mr Hero-that-saved-the-world? Can't carry a little kid up the stairs?" Jazz mocked him.
"Very funny" he replied obediently.
"I'll be up soon"
"Okay"
Jazz turned to the tumble dryer finishing its cycle and pulled out the blanket that was just warm enough.
Jazz doted on him. Danny knew that, he also knew that she might have been the person that raised him when mom and dad were busy with their research. He didn't realize how true this was until he watched her wrap Daniele in a warm blanket and put her to sleep as if she did it every single day.
Dani wanted to come and play, but what she needed someone to care for her. Despite the strangeness of his own parents, Danny knew that if they did not love him, he would be a different person. Perhaps Dani needed this as well.
"So," He whispered, "How do you want to… ugh... break the news?"
But they heard the door swing open.
Their father's heavy steps and the clattering of heels.
Their father ran to change into a jumpsuit that instant.
This was the perfect moment.
"I'll handle it." He added as he began phasing through the floor.
"Good luck, little brother" He heard Jazz's reply end has he landed in the living room.
"GHOST! Oh, Danny, you surprised me" his mother exclaimed running over to ruffle his hair.
"Sorry about that. How was the movie?" he attempted to begin a conversation.
"Well it was interesting, but your father was scuffling down the popcorn like crazy."
"That's dad for ya"
"And how was your night, sweetie?"
Danny was silent Now? Was it now that he should say it? Should he lead her on maybe?
"Danny" Maggie Fenton stood crossing her arms, "Is there something else you need to tell us?"
It was a new feeling for her. A funny one. What was it? A stomach full of food? The first time she took a bath? No. That was not it. It was more… warm… Like a cocoon wrapping around her, keeping her safe, yet happy. But there was a word to describe it…
Dani thought of the unconditional love she had for her creator until she saw his true goals.
Shivers ran down her spine.
Fear...
Dani shot up, hyperventilating in shock. A room, pink and stuff. She was not in Vlad Plasmius' lab.
"Dani? Are you alright?" Said Jaz and she came over, "It looks like you had a nightmare."
But something was up, she felt it, she turned around to see a woman staring right at her. She looked like one of those hologram's Vlad had.
Danny's mother.
