Chapter 2: Overcoming Depression
It was several minutes later before Ember heard the fateful knock on the door. She stood up from her bed and slipped the almost see-thru blue nighite on. She floated down the stairs and met her forloin boyfriend, with his head down. Ember was so shocked that he didn't see his luggage with him.
"Danny, what happened. What are you doing here?" Ember asked, obviously worried.
"Um... My mom knows. She knows i'm a ghost and she knows that i'm with you." Danny said, looking up slightly.
"Oh, i'm sorry for the rude question. Its okay Danny. Just come in babypop." She gently grabbed his arm and pulled him in. He took comfort in her after she closed the door, wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting her feet off the groud. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and squeezed him tight. "I'm really sorry about all this Danny."
"Its not your fault, we both love each other. I'm just tired of hiding the truth. I feel happy that its alll over."
"Danny, this is a really big chapter of your life that's ending. You shouldn't feel bad or anything."
"I know, i'm just happy that I get to stay with you..." Danny whispered. Pulling her lightly against him. He lowered his head to place a light kiss on the top of her head.
"I'm still sleeping, I know you want to sleep with me after your tough ordeal." Ember smiled gently, winking at him.
"Lets go get some sleep then." He took her hand and carried her upstairs, not bothering to float up there, he lied her on her back while he was resting beside her. Ember placed her cold hands inside his bare chest causing him to shudder.
"Oh Danny..." Ember giggled while saying his name.
"Yes..." Danny asked, curious in her voice, he turned around and Ember was holding the pregnancy stick, Danny widened his eyes.
"Its really official. I'm pregnant Danny, i'm really really pregnant" A single faint tear slid out of her eye. Danny hugged her.
"We're going to be amazing parents!" Danny said, "But we have so much to do!"
"Yeah and guess what, a female ghost can have a baby in her womb for only two months." Ember said very confidently with a cheeky smile.
"TWO MONTHS!" Danny said shocked.
"Yeah, it happens so quickly." Ember said, "I'm just a little scared about giving birth."
"I'll always be on your side, everythings going to be okay." Danny leaned in a and kissed Ember's cheek, she loved him, here she was. Carrying his unborn child. In his arms. The feeling of sad depression over Maddie was easily gone, after a few minutes. Ember was motionless, baresly breathing as she slept. Her hair dimmed down. Danny kissed her forehead, falling to sleep right after.
"Good morning Ember," Danny said, he was the first to wake up, but noticed something very strange. He didn't feel her hair brushing up against his body like always. He stood up from the bed and heard violet gagging in the bathroom.
"Ember?!" Danny screamed, he ran into the bathroom and noticed that she was lying on the floor with her head inside the toilet. He looked closely and noticed that her stomach was growing. Probably due to the baby that was growing in her womb.
Danny gasped and walked closer to her. "Um, are you alright?" He asked cautious. Ember turned around, her eyes turned ruby red with anger.
"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE! I'M CARRYING YOUR BABY FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS!" Ember yelled in fury. She turned back to normal as her stomach rumbled, she then dipped her head back in the oval office as her stomach was extracting waste from her waste from her mouth.
Danny sighed and pat her back, holding her hair, "Its okay Ember, even though its our first child. I know that you are very stressed, and I'm kind of the reason why you're stressed."
"What do you mean by that?" She looked at him with a weird look.
"Because of me being here and telling you about my mother. It probably has you stressed. Now you're throwing up and I am worried about you."
"Babe, i'm fine. I know i'm stressed and I didn't mean to yell at you. But we made this decision together. And I know that they are plenty of ghosts that don't approve of this forbidden love..." Ember started to cry hysterically.
"You're the only one I have since... since..." Ember began to brake down, desperately trying to remember her past life. Danny looked at her, he felt pretty guilty after all these years of fighting with her. All she needed was someone to love. Danny wrapped her arms around her, she narrowed her eyes and embraced his love.
"I'm really sorry Ember. Sorry about what happened to you. If I ever saw the guy who stood you up he'll be bleeding profusely on the floor." He growled. Ember nuzzled her husband affectionately, he smiled at her reaction.
"Why don't you clean yourself up and sit down on the couch. I'll get you some breakfast."
She smiled at the thought of food but then realized her condition.
"Baby pop, just get me some crackers and water and I'll be fine."
"Okay Emmy, i'll do that. I would kiss you but your mouth and the toilet. Thats just ew!"
Ember growled while exposing her fangs, she punched him in the gut, "I'll remember that the next the your sick tootsie roll." She gave him a cocky grin while standing up while Danny grumbled and cleaned up her rock Princess.
Danny went to Spectra's realm, he didn't even need to knock on the door, she opened it immediately.
"Hey my little student, how are you and Ember doing?"
"Pretty good," He said walking inside her realm, Spectra and Danny had an immediate truce after her marriage to Ember, considering that she is one of her closet allies and friends.
"I am worried about Ember a little bit though, I think the stress is getting to her like an atom bomb, shes really sick and always vomiting and having mood swings."
"How so?"
"In the last few days, she either been so moody and bitchy. When we were playing Guitar Hero 4, I beat her and she got her real guitar out of nowhere and hit me on the head with it."
"Ouch!" Spectra winced.
"Yeah, it was pretty bad, and then another time when she was in the mood and I said that I was kind of tired from doing all the cleaning and cooking. She used her guitar and turned it on to the love setting, the rest is... too graphic. She apologized the next and say it was just her mood swings in action, but my groin area still her fangs piercing down on it."
"Hmm-hmmm." Spectra said nodding, following his story. "Do you know what the baby will look like."
"I don't really know, but i'm guessing it'll be a ghost human hybrid like me. I want a boy for a child." Danny said shrugging.
"Let me ask you this Danny. Are her breast tender when you touch, lick and fondle them?"
"SPECTRA!" Danny blushed at the thought. "I'm not here to talk about my wife's body parts, can you please help me teach me how to raise my child with responsible care."
"Don't worry Danny boy, you've grown up. But I can understand that you and Ember need a little help, i'll have you know that I'm a professional at taking care of children just like I was good at being your guidance counselor." She winked at him, Danny rolled his eyes, he stood up and hugged Spectra. He kind of looked up to her as if she was his new... mom? But what about Maddie and Jazz?
