Summary: Danny and Jazz have an estranged older sister, you, that had an accident in the lab that was almost entirely her parents’ fault so she left, started a life, and moved on. Overall, everything was great. Until that damned reunion, that is.

Y/N Fenton was long estranged from her parents after an incident when she was twelve that ended up making her less than human--half ghost to be exact. She left her younger brother and sister behind to go to college in Wisconsin but kept in touch with them. Her parents, not so much. Since then, it’d been five years, and she’d been married for three--not that anyone knew about that little detail. She’d also abandoned her last name for a false one to keep her parents from finding her, but in getting married she took her husband’s, making the fake one irrelevant. He knew that her discarded name was a lie, but he never pried into what the real one. That was her business, and he respected her decision to have nothing to do with her parents. Other than that there were no secrets between them. Not even his own ghostly half.

It was a day Y/N hadn’t particularly been looking forward to: her husband’s 20-year college reunion. That they were hosting. And having his ex-friends and their kids stay in their house rather than a hotel like normal people. Needless to say, she was a little annoyed at the situation in general. The amount of flak they would catch from their age difference alone would make the next few days a living hell for both parties.

She curled into the couch unhappily when she heard the doorbell that announced their guests’ arrival. Her fingers tightened on her husband’s wrist. “Do we have to?”

“Given the fact that they are already here, I’d say yes,” Vlad chuckled. “I’ll go let them in so you have a few minutes to brace yourself.” He leaned down to kiss her sweetly before exiting.

“At any rate, my wife is waiting in the sitting room. It’s been a slow morning, and she’s having a hard time getting up and around,” Vlad informed them as he escorted the Fentons to the mentioned room. He jumped when Jack clapped a hand on his shoulder.

“V-man! Why didn’t you tell us you got married?!”

Jazz added, “And the news hasn’t even heard about it!” while Vlad gritted his teeth.

“I didn’t tell you because it wasn’t any of your business after you let me rot in that hospital alone for ten years!” He took a few gasping breaths to calm down before his eyes started flickering red and betraying his secret. “To answer your question, we’ve been married for three years. I would advise against pissing her off. Isn’t that right, darling?”

Y/N’s gaze was only on her husband as he rounded the corner of the couch to enter her field of view. “Absolutely,” she smiled at him as she accepted his offered hand to help her up. She turned to introduce herself, “I’m--” and immediately broke off when she recognized her family, “leaving,” she finally managed and started moving towards the hall that would lead her to the solace of their bedroom.

“Y/N, wait!” Danny called, chasing after her.

Vlad quickly found himself pinned to the wall via Jack’s forearm across his throat. His eyes flashed red and his fangs took up residence in his mouth; he only bothered to return his eyes to their human state. The fangs would come in handy as a weapon if things came to a head. “What in hell do you think you are doing?”

“What are you doing with my daughter?”

“Your daughter?” Vlad echoed. 

“You didn’t know?” Jazz questioned. “Y/N’s our older sister. She stopped talking to Mom and Dad when she went to college . . .”

“I know the story,” Vlad snarled. “I just wasn’t aware that your idiocy almost killed someone else, let alone the fact that it was the woman I love and. Your. Child!” He shoved Jack away from him. “I understand why she didn’t tell me about who her parents were.” He straightened his suit. “Ring the bell and Elliot will show you to your rooms. I believe I need to talk to my wife before we have this little . . . confrontation.”

Outside the room Y/N was running to (the master bedroom), Danny finally caught up to his sister. “Y/N!” he cried one last time as he snagged her hand. “Why are you ignoring me?” They’d always been close, even after she left. He even knew her secret about her ghost half.

She sighed. “Because before I knew it was you guys coming I was perfectly happy with my life and my husband. I especially don’t want you and Jazz of all people second-guessing my choices.”

“As long as that guy makes you happy, I don’t care! He seemed cool even for an old guy!”

A laugh left her as she elbowed him. “Shut up.”

Their joy calmed quickly, and Danny’s face fell. “Listen, Y/N, there’s something I need to tell you. Something happened a few months ago--”

“There you are!” Vlad’s voice exclaimed. Even Danny--who didn’t know the man well enough to be able to read all the nuances of his facial expressions--could see the worry ease off Vlad’s face as soon as he saw his wife.

Y/N leaned into his touch when he reached her and caressed her cheek. “Here I am,” she echoed. “Danny and I were just talking.” Her e/c gaze returned to her brother’s. “You were saying?”

His eyes widened. “W-well, uh . . . It kinda involves the, uh, thing . . .”

“He knows about that, Danny. Jack caused an accident in college that did it to him, too.”

Danny’s jaw dropped. “So there’s three of us?!” He seemed to catch himself. “I-I mean--”

Y/N’s eyes flashed to a glowing yellow. “What. Happened?”

“I-It was my fault. They were so sad that the portal wasn’t working, so I went inside . . .” When he looked up at her his eyes were glowing neon green as if to prove that his story was true. “I’m sorry.”

Again, she sighed, eyes reverting back to normal. “I’m not mad at you. Are you okay?”

“Yeah! I’m totally fine now. Mostly in control and everything. The only downside is all the ghosts are after my hide.”

“We’ll train you,” Vlad volunteered. “Once you’re more experienced they’ll back off.” Bright blue eyes widened as Vlad smirked. “Trust me.”

The teen’s face lit up. “Really?!” At their nods he hugged them both. “That’d be amazing! Thank you!”

Y/N laughed once more. “Come on. You’re probably tired after being in that stupid RV with them for so long; I’ll show you to your room. We can talk more tomorrow while Vlad mingles,” she turned around to wink at her husband as she walked with Danny down the hall. She could only hope that flirtatious little move would keep her little brother from realizing just how deep the pit of terror in her heart had gotten.
