A little more profanity in this chapter.)

Thirteen
Vlad didn’t say a word as they drove home he had stopped shaking as they got further away from the theater. He sat up as they pulled into the garage he grabbed Danny’s hand, he looked at him.
“I’m sorry....” he said quietly.
Danny stroked his cheek gently.
“You don’t need to apologize love.”
Vlad blushed but didn’t say anything.
“Come on let’s get to sleep.”
Vlad nodded, they got up and walked inside.
..............................
A week later
Vlad’s POV
I can’t keep doing this, brushing against him acting like a whore then pushing him away before it go any further. I looked up and watched him do the dishes, he didn’t act like it was bothering him but he’s been here doing everything he can to support me and I’m not giving him anything in return. I sighed and rubbed my head I barely heard him as he said he was going to see his sister and her mate I nodded and put my head on the table. I jumped as he put an arm around me.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine just tired, I think I’ll do some paperwork and take a nap say hello to Jasmine and Nicolas for me.”
Danny kissed my forehead and nodded as he headed out to the garage I listened to him drive off then leaned back in my chair.
“Danny I really am sorry.”

Normal POV
Jack was eating with his wife when he suddenly set his fork down.
“So Maddie?”
“Yeah?”
“I feel like there is something going on that is being kept from me.”
“Like what?”
“Something between Danny and Vlad maybe?”
She chewed on her chicken thoughtfully, Jazz had told her what she knew and Danny was being no more attentive to Vlad’s needs than any father to be should. They decided to keep it from Jack he was much more polite but he still seemed a little miffed that Danny was living with Vlad and spent so much time with him. There is no doubt that he would be upset about being a grandfather, specifically with Vlad involved.
“Um well...I wouldn’t know I haven’t seen him lately.”
“You see him all the time, they were just here for dinner then we went over there and I know you aren’t trying to get me to befriend Vlad again.”
She sniffed.
“Oh their just good friends they have a lot in common.”
His eyebrow twitched.
“Oh?”
“I mean he has something in common with you he’s bound to have something in common with other people.”
Jack crossed his arms.
“He’s fucking our son isn’t he?”
Maddie’s mouth fell open and he crushed his fork.
“I knew it, I’m going over there right now.”
“Wait Jack I wouldn’t know.....Jack!”
................................
Vlad’s POV
I looked up as Jack pulled into my driveway, I sighed and set the paperwork down and went to the front door. I opened it up and he punched me I stepped back and fell to the ground.
”Jack!”
Maddie ran between us he gave me the dirtiest look.
“You dirty pervert! Taking advantage of my son you should be ashamed of yourself!”
I paled.
“I haven’t.....”
“Don’t lie, you tell me what the fuck was going through your head.”
“Jack leave him alone.”
“NO! Stop protecting him, answer me.”
I pushed myself up and took a breath.
“I’m not doing anything with your son.”
“Oh is that a fact?”
“Yes.”
“Liar! You have a terrible poker face.”
Maddie backed up as I did, no matter how angry he was he wouldn’t hit her and she knew it I sighed normally I could keep a straight face but the baby was messing with my emotions.
“I kissed him....just a few times....”
“And?”
“I...”
“Vlad don’t tell him.” Maddie hissed.
“You are hiding something from me, tell me now!”
We continued stepping back.
“It’s not your concern.” I said starting to get annoyed.
“He’s my son and it is my concern.”
“He’s carrying your son’s child, happy now?”
We turned around and saw the box ghost leaning against the wall holding an empty box.
“Fear me!”
He disappeared and Maddie slapped her forehead, Danny let her help with ghosts just like Sam and Tucker because she keep a level head. However she knew that particular ghost wasn’t one she should be concerned about, but clearly the idiot was a problem, damn loud mouth. Jack stared at us clearly momentarily lost by the ghost’s appearance. He glared at his wife.
“That’s not possible.”
“Jack I think I need to explain something.” Maddie said.
.....................................................
Jazz yawned as she let Tucker and Sam in Sam stuck her hands in her pocket Tucker nudged her.
“Sam come on, you can be girly for like two minutes can’t you?”
She shook her head and blushed, Jazz crossed her arms as she grinned.
“Sammy are you hiding something from me?”
“No why would I do that?”
Tucker rolled his eyes.
“We’re getting married and she bounced up and down when I asked her so now she won’t do it again.”
Jazz squealed and hugged her she was resisting the squeal that was rising up in her throat, Danny walked in the room.
“What happened?”
“Danny there’s going to be a wedding!”
“Really? High five man.”
Sam took that and swore she would take no more hugs they sat down in the living room Nicolas was currently her favorite person in the room because he congratulated her from across the room.
“What are you going to do when Dani gets here? She’ll want to hug you.” Jazz said teasingly.
“I’ll wear a giant plastic bubble.” she said stubbornly.
They continued to tease her since the small smile and large blush never left her face they knew she was happy, and well...what are friends for?
..........
Later that night
Danny drove home and parked near the curb seeing his father’s car was outside, he got out and walked to the front door he found his dad on the couch. He walked over and rubbed his hands together.
“Dad?”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
He was quiet for a minute until it clicked.
“Oh you heard huh?”
He looked up.
“Well your relationship was so fragile I didn’t want you to try and fight him.”
He frowned and shook his head.
“You’re pissed huh?”
“Not anymore I suppose.” he said.
“I’m sorry dad, I should have talked to you.”
He shrugged.
“It’s nothing to apologize over I’ve been difficult I know that, I should be proud that you are taking responsibility for your child no matter what.”
Danny smiled slightly.
“You’ll be a grandpa, you can always spoil him or her Vlad wouldn’t even say anything.”
“Danny there is no point trying to get under the skin of....the ‘mother’ of your child if he doesn’t say anything about it.” he said with a smile.
Danny grinned as Jack got up and gave him a hug.
“But I want you to know you’ll have to get married and I fully expect that tight ass to wear a dress.”
Danny laughed.
“We’ll see how that goes dad.”
He walked in the kitchen and his mother hugged him.
“Everything okay?”
“I think so.”
“Good, go talk to Vlad, he seems to be having some hard time with the situation he can’t admit to you.”
“Okay, thanks mom.”
