Danny's POV

Everyone in the room freezes and looks towards the owner of the voice. It's the voice of my mate, the love of my life, sitting in a wheelchair, with Frostbite pushing him from behind. In an instant, I have my mouth on his. I kiss him with passion fiercer than we've ever had before. We finally pull apart after, what seems like, forever.

"Don't you EVER do that to me again! Do you know how worried I've been?!" My tears return full force and I have troubles wiping them away. "I thought you were going to DIE! Hell, I almost died the rest of the way just THINKING about it. I swear to god, Andrew, if you ever scare me like that again, I'll be the one causing you core damage. Understand?!"

He gives me a guilty look and a quick nod before I pull him into a hug, with Elle jumping onto his lap to join. This gets a pained groan from Andy and a satisfied grunt from me.

"Elle, sweetheart, you have to be careful with me for a while. I'll be better in about a week, but you need to be gentle until then so I can come back home. Alright?"

"Yes Papa!" she says excitedly.

~~~Line Break~~~

Danny's POV

The night went by quickly once Andy woke up. He was required to stay in the Far Frozen for one week to make sure the damage to his core heals rather than gets worse. I decide that I've kept the class waiting long enough. I teleport my parents and still-sleeping daughter to the castle to answer the questions everyone has. We walk in and I put a finger to my mouth before anyone can bombard me with questions. First thing's first, I'm putting Elle to bed. When I return to the room the class has gathered in, everyone starts shooting off questions all at once.

"Hey! Calm down. I can't answer anyone if all of you are talking at once. I'm going to start by explaining what I think will answer most of your questions, then you will be welcome to ask questions if you raise your hand. I know this isn't school, but it will be the only way we get anywhere. Alright?"

At the several nods of agreement, I continue.

"The truth is," I look over to Vlad to see how much I should tell them. At his reassuring nod, I start my story. "when I was born, I was born as what is called a halfa, half-human, half-ghost." I hear many gasps before they are silenced by team phantom. "The reason I was born like that, was because," I look over one more time to make absolute sure this is okay with my father, only to get the same response as before. "because my biological father, was a halfa too." Maddie and Jack, along with a few others who have overheard us mention his identity, gasp and look at Vlad for confirmation. He gives them a guilty look but turns back to me so they will focus. "For some reason or another, when I was born, my powers weren't active. It wasn't until I turned on the Fenton ghost portal, from the inside, and was electrocuted with all the power of the ghost zone behind it, that my powers became active. Before, they were in a sort of, dormant state that kept me from accessing them in most cases.

"When my powers finally did show up, I gained an obsession, just as every ghost has. My obsession, is to protect. I protect humans and ghosts alike, sometimes from each other, and sometimes from themselves. I took on the name Phantom, because that was the name I had planned to change my last name to once I became a legal adult.

"One day, a particularly powerful ghost, Pariah Dark, escaped from the sarcophagus of forever sleep. I challenged him without realizing it, and he accepted. What I had yet to understand, was that, by challenging him, I was battling for the throne. When I won, I became the heir to the throne. On the day of my coronation as king, Andrew and I were married.

"As for our daughter," Another guilty look is shot my way from my father, "she was created by a ghost who is an ally now. She was meant to be a clone, but my adoptive father, Clockwork, put Andy's DNA in with mine so that we could have a biological daughter together. In all reality, we owe the ghost that tried to clone me big time for giving us our first child.

"Does anyone have any questions?" I conclude. Everyone's hands shoot up, and I decide that I owe it to Maddie and Jack to answer their questions first. "Jack." I say pointing towards him.

"T-this may be a bit of a sensitive question, but i-is Andrew a halfa too?" he hesitantly asks as a few lower their hands. I smile reassuringly.

"I appreciate the concern, but my husband, as you know," I gesture to my parents, "and some of you may have come to the conclusion of, has woken up. He is weak, but he will recover in time. He is not a halfa. He is a ghost, one hundred percent." I inform. "Next question. Maddie."

"A-are you still... you know... alive?" She asks me. I see the tears gathering in her eyes. I heave a heavy sigh and start floating in a sitting position to get comfortable.

"Yes and no. It's kindof hard to explain. Ectoplasm is in my DNA. The thing is, I can choose when I want to be alive, and when I want to be dead. When I'm in my living body, some of my powers and ectoplasm are accessible. In my dead form, also known as my ghost form or Danny Phantom, I still have some human attributes. I still have a heartbeat, but it only beats once every two hours. As a human, it's once every five minutes. This is how I can switch between forms as far as I can tell. So I'm fully dead and fully living at the same time. It's kind of complicated, but it's kind of fun. It makes me, well, me. I really don't know how to explain it any better, but I hope I answered your question. I know what answer you were hoping for. I hope this wasn't a total disappointment of an answer." I try to explain but it only seems to confuse most people even more. Maddie and Jack seem to have understood it better than the others, but even they seem slightly confused.

A maid enters the room and speaks to me in ghost. "We have prepared breakfast for you and your guests. The princess has just woken up but will not leave the room until you go and get her. I'm very sorry sir."

"There is no need to apologise. Thank you very much for letting me know. You are free to go. I will be up to get my daughter while Val and Tuck will lead the humans to the dining hall." I glance at them and they give me a thumbs up to show they heard me. "Alright everyone. We will continue questions while we eat. Breakfast will be served in the dining hall. Tucker and Valerie will show you the way. I will be there to join you as soon as I go get Elle."

I teleport to her room to find a very irate Danielle, throwing ectoblasts at the maids trying to retrieve her from the warm confines of the nest-like heap of blankets that surround her on her bed.

"Danielle Phantom-Writer! We do not shoot at the maids who work hard to help keep the castle organized and clean. Just because you don't want to get up doesn't mean you get to be rude. Get up now. Breakfast is ready and there are a ton of hungry teenagers down there. If you don't get dressed and come down now, there won't be any breakfast left." I reprimand.

"But daddy, I want you to help me." she whines.

"So you ask for me instead of shooting at them. They were just trying to help. With your father still recovering in the Far Frozen, and our entire class being here in the castle and finding out all of our secrets has been very stressful. Please just work with me here and cooperate. I know it's hard on you too, but that's all the more reason to try and make things work out easier. Okay?" she nods and I sigh in relief. "Now, let's get you dressed."

I help her dress herself in a puffy black dress, with neon green accents and trim. It reminds me of the ghost zone's 'sky'. Her outfit matches mine well as I have on a black long sleeved shirt, my cape has the same green trim and accents as her dress, and I have black skinny jeans and dark green boots on. I am also wearing the crown of fire and ring of rage.

We walk down to the dining hall and as we enter the room, everyone's heads turn towards us. I fiddle with my wedding ring because of my embarrassment and nervousness. I'm not used to having this many humans in the know and expecting answers all at once. I'm also not used to dressing in my normal kingly attire around humans. I nod my head and carry Elle to her seat, before taking mine at the head of the table. I realize the servants were waiting for us to eat as they just begin setting the food on the table. When it is set down, everyone digs in and we finish breakfast with casual questions that make me less and less nervous as we go along. By the end of it, it feels like they know more about me than me or my mate do.

"Now that everyone has eaten and asked their questions, is everyone ready to go home?" I ask. At the several shoulder shrugs and halfhearted yeahs, I lead the class to the portal room. The portal can lead to anywhere on earth that we choose. We set it so it will open as the Fenton portal, and watch as everyone enters with the promise of sleeping safely in their own beds tonight on their minds.
