Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom

Summary: I got this idea from Willowed Moon's "Daddy, I mean Danny." Danielle is starting to question her 'cousin' relationship with Danny not knowing that Danny feels something very similar. So, when Fate brings the two back together just in time for Christmas, and a small fever gets Dani to accidentally say something, Danny uses a bit of his fame to get Dani one of the greatest gifts ever: a family. Will Dani accept Danny's gift to her in the long run as she truly is the clone of Danny Phantom and something is making itself known to the young girl. (Hint: Episode 27)

Daddy

Chapter 1: Dani

Six month old Danielle "Dani" Phantom (though she looked and acted 12 years old), was now in New York at Rockefeller Square. It was Christmas time (Christmas Eve Morning to be exact) and this was going to be her first one.

However, she didn't particularly care much for the holidays. Mainly due to the fact that she was a clone and her original had JUST started liking the holidays (because it meant a day off from his ghost hunting job due to the truce).

She landed and transformed into Danielle the human. She had ceased calling herself Danielle Fenton due to the fact that the ONLY reason she was a Fenton was because she was the clone of one. And she REFUSED to call herself Danielle Masters. Especially after the last thing her 'father' had said to her when she still thought of Vlad as a father-figure

"you exist only to serve me"

"Daddy!"

Danielle turned and saw a five year old girl running into the arms of a man and hugged him.

"Daddy! You came!" the little blond exclaimed as the mother came running to join her family

"Of course I came. It's Christmas" the father said with a loving smile

Danielle felt tears enter her eyes as she recognized the way the daughter was hugging her father. It was the same way she had hugged Danny after he saved her three months ago.

Suddenly, there was a "HELP!"

Danielle went running and saw a young boy swimming in the ice while a man in a police uniform was rushing out of his car to go help the boy

"SAMUEL!" the man exclaimed indicating that he knew the boy

"DAD!" Samuel tried to exclaim

Danielle then dove into the water and swam over to the boy and kept his head above water while the boy's father ran up to help them out of the water.

Danielle was pulled up coughing as she had swallowed some of the water. Truthfully, she had felt a cold coming on a while ago, but ignored it. Now it was coming full force

A few minutes later,

Danielle was wrapped up and sitting on the couch, fever in her eyes as she shivered.

"You poor thing" Samuel's mother said as she put another blanket over Danielle "Where are you parents?"

Danielle started to answer semi-truthfully that she didn't HAVE any, but she stopped herself. TECHNICALLY she had a father.

But for some reason, Vlad's image didn't appear in her mind.

She did want a parent's touch now, but her own. But she had no mother.

"What's your Daddy's name?" Samuel's mother asked

Danielle had no idea what prompted her to say this, but the name just rolled off her tongue

"D-D-Danny" she whispered.
