In this story I'm having Dani's eyes be green in both forms, just glowing in ghost form.

Danielle's POV

A blast hits my side and I falter in my flight again. I need to reach dad. I mean Danny. I really need to stop thinking of him like that. He's still in high school. He doesn't need a three year old daughter. I ended up deaging over the years since I've seen him last. Three years old is where I finally stopped deaging. I realized after leaving Danny the first time that I saw him as more of a father figure than a cousin.

My thoughts are interrupted by another shot to my arm this time. I need to find him soon or I might actually die all the way. I haven't eaten or slept in two days because the GIW have been tailing me the whole time. I'm on the verge of collapsing, but I just passed the welcome to Amity park sign and I can see the big spaceship looking thing up ahead telling me I'm almost there.

Another shot hits me in the head and I can't keep flying anymore. The next thing I know, there is a net around me sending electricity through me. I do the only thing I can think to do is yell for Danny. So I do.

"Daddy help me!"

"Stupid ectoplasmic scum. You're dead. You don't have parents." One agent tells me. I see two flying blurs, one black and one purple, land in front of me protectively. Then, everything goes black.

Andrew's POV

Danny and I are sitting in his room in Fenton Works again today. With the news of our daughter's return, we decided school was probably a bad idea since we don't know when she will come back.

"So my love, tell me more about this daughter of ours. Your dad said you would explain today." I request.

"Well, she has your eyes. Now it makes sense why she has green eyes even in human form. She also has your attitude. She is very sassy but still really sweet. It's kind of hard to explain, but I know you'll love her." He tells me. I decide it's time to ask the question I have been wondering about since I first heard about her.

"So who's the mother?" He looks surprised, but then gets a sad look on his face.

"There is no mother. She was created by Plasmius in an attempt to clone me. She's the only one that survived. Somehow, he aged her into a twelve year old, but she looked about nine the last time I saw her. Before I left Plasmius' lab after saving her from being a pile of ectoplasm like I was telling you about yesterday, I took a sample of her ectoplasm and brought it to Frostbite and had him analyze it. Turns out she is supposed to deage until she's is three years old. At the rate it was happening, I would say she's been three for at least two months. Technically her name is Danielle but she goes by Dani with an i. I decided it would get too confusing so I started calling her Elle."

Then we both hear a blood curdling scream followed by someone screaming "Daddy help me!"

Danny and I both jump up transforming into our ghost forms and heading towards our daughter's voice. I don't know how I knew it was her, but as soon as I heard her, I just knew.

We both land in front of a little girl that looks like a little Danny in ghost form. As soon as I see two white rings form around her waist, I pick her up, and force some of my ectoplasm into her so she doesn't transform in front of the humans.

"You take care of them. I'll take her home." I tell Danny. He nods and I teleport me and my daughter to my lair, knowing Danny will do the same as soon as he's done.

I lay her down on the bed that Danny used at first since he stays in my room now. I move her hair out of her face and get to work on bandaging her wounds.

~~~Danny's POV~~~

My vision is red in the corners and I wouldn't be surprised if my eyes are red with anger. When Andrew teleports our daughter back to his lair, I know it's safe to make a point. I fly over to the one who had the remote for the electric net they put Elle in. I punch him in the face, using almost none of my ghostly strength so as not to kill the man. I start attacking him with normal human attacks. I grab him by the back of the shirt and fly high above the crowd that had formed. I know the news will try to get this so I speak loudly so they get every word.

"Let this man serve as a warning. You can hunt me, and shoot at me, and dissect me a million times over, but don't you EVER, hurt my daughter again, or there WILL, be consequences." I set the man safely on the ground, and teleport to where my mate and daughter wait for me.

When I get there, I don't see anyone, but the door to the room I used when I first got here is open and I know that's where they are thanks to the slight tugging sensation I feel coming from that direction that I have learned is Andrew's connection to me.

I walk in to see my mate holding our daughter's hand, as lays unconscious in the bed. He looks up to me with tears in his eyes.

"We have to get her to the Far Frozen. I treated her minor wounds, but I don't have the necessary equipment to do anymore. Her pulse is weaker than yours. I don't know if she's going to make it." he tells me.

Now I have tears in my eyes as well. I pick Elle up, blankets and all, and start flying towards the Far Frozen with Andy right behind me. We get there right as a blizzard starts up, but I just tighten my grip on my daughter and keep flying. We finally reach the cave system where Frostbite's tribe lives and I fly in looking for Frostbite.

"Frostbite! Frostbite we need your help!"

"Great one! Wait right here and we will retrieve Frostbite from the medical wing."

"Take us there. Please. It's our daughter, she's hurt and we don't know if there's much time." I tell the yeti ghost I've come to know as Iceblade.

"Of course. Right this way." He leads us to the medical wing quickly.

"Great one! What are you doing here?" Frostbite asks.

"The great one says his daughter is possibly dying. They came looking for help."

"Quickly bring her in here." I set her down on the hospital bed he gestures to and back up to let the yetis work.

"Great one, perhaps it would be for the best if the two of you waited outside." Iceblade suggests.

"But what about our daughter." Andrew protests.

"I can assure you that she is receiving the best care we can give. For now, you two need to relax. Come, I'll make you each a cup of coffee." I nod my consent and allow myself to be led out of the room, never once taking my eyes off of Elle.

A few hours later I get a phone call from Sam. I hit ignore. I'm not in a good enough state to be talking to them and explaining what she is probably seeing on the news. When I was explaining things to them, I may have left Danielle out. I decided it was best if I waited till they got to meet her herself. Now I'm regretting that decision. I hit messages and text Sam and Tucker the same message telling them that Jazz would explain everything. I lay down on Andrew's lap and he starts rubbing through my hair.

"I don't know what to tell you." He says after about ten more minutes. I sit up pull him into a hug like he's done for me several times over the last week.

"You don't need to tell me anything. You're hurting just as much as me. Maybe even more. At least I have a couple of memories with her. This is the first time you've even seen her face. She's our daughter. We both know she may not make it, instead of trying to comfort each other, we just need to be together. You need to know that I'm here for you as much as you're here for me." I tell him honestly. We both sit there holding onto each other as we silently cry for our daughter. We don't break away until my phone goes off again a half hour later.

"It's Jazz." I say, letting the phone continue ringing.

"Maybe you should answer it. It might be nice if they all come out. At least then they can try and give us a distraction." I nod, dry my eyes, and clear my throat, before hitting the green button to accept the call. Right as I'm about to say hello, my voice hitches, and I can't get any words out.

"Danny? Are you there?" I hear Jazz on the other end.

"Yeah." I say after a few seconds hesitation. I hear her sigh in relief.

"Are you okay?" I'm silent. She seems to get the message. "I'm gonna call Ember and we're going to meet up with you guys. Are you at the library?"

"No. The Far Frozen. You'll have to pick Ember up. There's a blizzard outside and she's got a fire core."

"Alright, we'll be there soon little brother, I promise." she hangs up and I put the phone away.

"They're on their way." I tell him. He nods, and we lay down and try to relax until the others get here.

Danny's POV

When I open my eyes, I am greeted by the sight of Sam and Tucker sitting on the couch across from us, Jazz in the arm chair next to us, and Ember in the one across from her. I am laying on top of Andrew, and he is silently sleeping with his arms around me. At one point or another, someone must have covered us up. I turn intangible, and fly out of the grip of my mate. Not only does this get the attention of the others, but the sudden loss of body heat wakes Andrew up.

"Sorry. I was trying not to wake you." I tell him.

"It's fine. I need to get up anyway." He sits up, and I sit next to him, getting back under the covers. "When did everybody get here?"

"About two hours ago. When we saw you two sleeping, we decided it was best to let you sleep."

"Has there been any news on Elle?" I ask. It's been at least five hours since we got here, there has to be some news.

Jazz looks at me sadly. "Not since we got here. They didn't tell us much. Just that she was in treatment, and you guys would explain when you woke up. I think we got the idea from the news though. You don't have to explain anything."

"She's mine too." Andy says softly. I take his hand tightly in mine.

"Of course she is Andrew. You're Danny's mate." Ember says sweetly. He shakes his head and looks up at her.

"I mean biologically. Clockwork medled with the timestream so he could put my dna in with Danny's. That way, we could have a biological daughter together."

"That's right. You guys would only be able to get boys from a core child." Ember says with realization.

"We're here for you guys. No matter what, don't forget that." Tucker says.

"He's right. If you guys want to talk about it, we'll listen." Sam adds.

"Or, if you'd rather get drunk, I can help with that." Ember says pulling out a couple bottles of ghost alcohol. Just then, Frostbite walks in.

"Great one, great one's mate, your daughter has been moved to recovery. It is now up to her whether she makes it or not."

"Can we see her?" I ask.

"I think it's best if we wait until tomorrow afternoon. She is still weak and needs rest. She has not woken up yet, but you will be informed as soon as she does, even if you can't see her yet." He says.

"Thank you Frostbite. I don't know what we would have done without you."

"Of course." He bows and leaves the room. I look at Ember.

"Give me a little of that." She smiles and hands it over.

"Danny! You can't be serious. You've never had alcohol before."

"Sunday night, and last night, I did. I'm sure I'll be fine." I take a long drink before handing it to Andrew who does the same. Ember opens up the one she has and starts drinking.

"Don't worry, the first time drinking ghost alcohol is the worst. Usually you can easily drink as much as you did the first time, without any effect anymore. And you two drank a lot. You guys are going to have a better tolerance than me." Ember informs.

"Right now, I'm not sure if that's a good thing." Andrew says, taking another drink.

"Anyone else?" She asks the other three. All three refuse and she shrugs and takes another drink.

We sit there talking and drinking for about another hour.

"Great one, dinner has been prepared. Frostbite requested that I lead you to the great hall. Your parents, Johnny, and Kitty are all waiting there as well." Iceblade informs, walking into the room.

"Thank you Iceblade." We get up and followed him.

Andrew tightens his grip on my arm as we arrive and find a large number of yeti ghosts along with my parents and Johnny and Kitty. I sometimes forget that he is so anti social. Especially after Sunday night when he was so hell bent on partying till dawn.

"Danny, Andrew, are you two alright?" my mother comes over and wraps us in a four armed hug. I return the hug and feel Andrew's arm wrap around me as he does the same.

"We will be as long as Elle recovers." Andrew answers for the both of us.

"Dad, please. Is there any way you can tell us if she'll pull through. Frostbite says that all we can do now is wait and see." I beg.

"Your daughter will be fine. You made it here just in time." He tells us smiling.

I think everybody in the room relaxes at the words of the ghost of time.

"Thank you. Not even being able to see everything can tell you how much those words mean to us." We leave mom's side to hug him now as well.

"And now let us feast, in celebration of a life saved, and the future king!" Frostbite shouts.

Danielle's POV

When I feel myself being pulled from the safety of the darkness, I try to resist. The closer I get to waking up, the more pain I feel. When I realize there is no hope of returning to my deep sleep, I decide just to get it over with.

The first thing I notice beyond the pain, is that my arms are restrained. It takes me a moment to realize that it is actually two people holding each of my hands. When I open my eyes, I recognize one of them to be my father. I mean cousin.

The other man, is around the same age. He too has black hair, but his are pointed like mine, only more pronounced. He wears glasses, and a lot of purple. I can't help but feel this strange connection to him. I decide that, if Danny doesn't want me, I might ask him to be my father. He is probably older than he looks judging by the fact that he is obviously a ghost. I jump slightly when I hear a groan beside me.

"Elle? Elle! Andy wake up! She's awake!"

The man in purple starts to stir at the commotion, and I wonder what he's doing here with me and my father.

"What? What's going on?"

"Like I just said she's awake." this causes Andy to bolt upright. He looks at me with a loving smile that I can't help but return.

"Hey sweety, how are you feeling?" He asks me.

"I-I'm in a lot of pain, but better than when I first got back to Amity." I tell him. "Who are you?"

They share a look before looking back at me.

"Elle sweetheart, there is something we need to talk about." Danny says.

"What?" I ask confused. I really hope he didn't catch my mistake of calling him daddy in front of the GIW.

"Elle, from now on, you're living with us whether you like it or not. No daughter of ours is going to be out on the streets, nearly starving to death, and having to run from the GIW." I blush out of embarrassment before realizing what he said.

"What do you mean daughter of ours?" I ask, looking from one of them to the other. It is the man called Andy who speaks first.

"Look, I know this is a touchy subject, but bare with us alright?" he asks. I nod my head. "When you were first being created, your grandfather decided that, since you would turn out a girl no matter what, and your father and I will never be able to have a biological daughter together otherwise, he would put my dna, with Danny's, so that you would be our daughter." He tells me.

It takes me a while to process what he says considering I'm a three year old now. When it finally does click into place, I look from one of the men, to the other, tears forming in my eyes.

"So you two are dating?" I ask. They nod. "And you both want to be my dad? Together?"

"Of course sweetheart. We both love you very much. Nothing will ever change that." Danny- I mean daddy tells me. The dam breaks and the tears start rolling down my cheeks. They both look at each other panicked for a moment before I start laughing.

"Thank you so much!" I tell them through the tears of joy. They finally understand what's going on and they both wrap their arms around me in a big family hug. When we pull apart, I look at both of them and realize it would be too confusing if I called them both dad. "So it doesn't get to confusing, I'm gonna call Danny, daddy, and you, papa." I tell them.

"That's perfect. I hope you don't mind us calling you Elle from now on so we don't get you confused with your father." papa tells me.

"That's fine." I tell them. "I really like it actually." I tell them smiling widely.
