    There were few people in Smallville that hadn’t been to a cookout at the Dean house, well house was a bit of an understatement. George Dean had inherited his family home, passing it down for several generations.For generations they had taken care of their land and family home, promising never to sell.While they made their money renting out part of that land for events and farming, they dedicated the use of most of that land to community engagement. They had a large pool, a community orchard, a large playset and even set up a camping ground.But most importantly, their house was perfect for massive barbeques.The house itself saw little community engagement, they had to have privacy after all, but every now and again, the Deans threw a massive barbeque. People from all around Smallville brought their own grills to help out and brought platters upon platter of sides, salads, and desserts.So. Many. Desserts.As soon as they arrived, Danny was put to work. He helped raise up canopies, set up grills, set up tables, and put out the food. He wasn’t the only one though, the whole lawn was filled with people running around setting things up.Someone setting up a lifeguard station near the pool called out to Danny as he passed. “Danny! Over here!” Danny headed over, ready to be put to work. Mrs. Allen stood next to a young girl about his age while holding up a fussy baby.He cautiously approached, “Hey Mrs. Allen, everything okay?” He asked, nodding to the baby.“Oh Sammy’s a bit fussy today.” She said, bouncing him on her hip. “I was wondering if you were CPR certified, Anne volunteered to keep an eye on the pool, but I ‘d prefer if she could do it in shifts so she doesn’t miss the party.” She swayed, trying to calm down the baby.“Do you want me to give it a try?” Danny asked, nodding towards the baby. Mrs. Allen sighed in relief.“You can certainly try, but don’t worry if he doesn’t settle, he’s a bit picky.” She carefully handed little Sammy over. Danny carefully took the baby and made sure he had a good grip before Mrs. Allen let go.Danny gently made low shushing sounds, his core practically purring as he held the baby. Slowly but surely Sammy calmed down and just stared at Danny in awe, and he wasn’t the only one.“I’m afraid I’m not certified, but I can keep an eye on things if she needs to take a break.” He said looking up from the baby.The girl, Anne, was blushing a bit while Mrs. Allen looked like she might kiss him, he really hoped she didn’t.“Forget that, how much are your rates?” Mrs. Allen asked out of nowhere. Sammy was playing with Danny’s hand, cooing as he started gumming a finger.“My what?”  Danny asked, clearly not following, he looked to Anne for clarification, but she was trying to hide a laugh.“Your babysitting rates, how much? $10? $20?” She asked, her eyes a bit frantic. “My last sitter quit on me and I really need a night out.”Danny shrugged, “I don’t know, I’ve never really babysat before.”“Wait, like, never?” Anne asked, clearly doubtful. Danny just shrugged.Mrs.Allen took out her phone and started to take pictures of her son cooing in Danny’s arms. “Can you change a diaper?” She asked.Danny was almost offended at the question, “Yeah?”“Fantastic, do you mind holding onto Sammy while I go talk to my husband? I’ll reach out to Martha later so we can set something up later. I should only need you for a few hours so we can go on a date, I’ll pay you $200 for 3 hours, and $20 for every hour after that.”“Uhh…” Danny was a bit dumbstruck at the offer.Anne snickered, “I think what he meant to say is that sounds great.”Mrs. Allen gave Danny a half hug and booped Sammy’s nose. “Fantastic, I’ll go tell Eddy the good news!”Mrs. Allen rushed off, leaving behind a confused Danny. “What just happened?” He asked no one in particular.Anne smirked, “You just got your first babysitting job. Good luck by the way, her last babysitter's a friend of mine. Angie said little Sammy here is an absolute terror.” She said before climbing up onto the lifeguard post. As soon as she was up, some of the kids took that as the signal to jump in.Danny looked down at Sammy and sighed, “Well, you can’t be worse than Dan when he first got his body, he came with fangs.” He muttered as he headed towards the dessert table. “He was p@ss@d he’d have to grow with it.” Sammy cooed, and Danny nodded. “I know growing pains are no fun, but it was the only way to get him a body without it destabilizing like Ellie’s, but try telling that to him. Honestly, it’s not my fault he decided mass murder was a justifiable response to grief.” Sammy babbled, “Okay, it was a little my fault, but I wasn’t exactly in a good headspace in that timeline.”Sammy let out a loud “Waah” and Danny paused, “You’re really smart, you ever go into therapy, let me know.”Sammy giggled, “bababa” Danny booped his nose and Sammy squealed.At least three camera flashes went off, startling Danny from his very important conversation.“Honestly I don’t know what you’re feeding your boys, but I need the recipe.” Mrs. Dean announced, pointing at Danny with a spatula. “Tall, dark, handsome, and good with kids? Really, what’s your secret?”Danny blushed, “Uhhh…”“That’s not my doing.” Ma chuckled.“Oh, b@llsh@t. If it was just Clark, then maybe, but two in a row? C’mon spill!” Mrs. Stevens asked with a hand on her hip.“Oh hush you!”  Mrs. Martha scolded, “You’re gonna scare him off and he’ll never want to babysit.” She said with a laugh.That shut Mrs. Stevens up, she turned and headed over to the grills. Mrs. Dean took one more picture of Danny with the baby before getting back to work.Mrs. Martha set a hand on his arm, “You okay honey? Don’t let them get to you, they’re just messing around.”Danny smiled, “I’m fine Ma, just not really used to all the attention.” he shrugged, he turned when he heard someone call his name by the grills. “I’ll see you in a bit, I think Mrs. Allen wants Sammy back.” He headed over to the grills leaving a grinning Mrs. Martha behind.—-When everything was finished getting set up, the real fun began. Music was blasting, people were dancing, kids were splashing, and Danny was avoiding the crowds while holding a sleeping Sammy in his arms.Mrs. Allen, Carol, she said to call her Carol, tried to take Sammy back and the baby burst out crying reaching for Danny.It didn’t take much persuading for Carol to join in on the fun, though she slipped him some cash making this his first official babysitting job. She gave him her baby sling before she joined the fun so Danny could eat, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to try breaching the crowd to get to the food.He waited until things had thinned out a bit before he headed over, loading up his plate with plenty of red meat.There was something about having fangs that made eating meat so much more satisfying.There was a bit of a commotion going on near the entrance, he looked over and saw Pa talking to a tall bald dark-skinned man carrying a huge pot. He had oven mitts on, making Danny wonder what he brought to a barbeque on a hot summer day.It lost his interest pretty quickly, he didn’t hate hot foods, but he did prefer colder foods these days, and no, that wasn’t an excuse to eat ice cream for breakfast no matter what Jazz said.That only happened twice…that she was aware of.Danny carefully backed up as two kids rushed past to get to the dessert table, noticing a moment too late that the man carrying the pot didn’t see them coming.As he walked down the aisle, the kids weaved around him and made him lose his balance when he stepped on an uneven patch of grass.Danny didn’t think, he wrapped an arm around Sammy and felt the steaming contents pass through him as he turned intangible. As soon as he realized what he had done, he stumbled backward, falling to the ground.His core clenched and he pushed down the cold trying to force its way out, refusing to let his ice hurt Sammy.Pa rushed to his side, checking him and Sammy over for burns. Danny was doing his best to push down his panic as he looked around him at all the people.They saw him, they knew, they KNEW..“Those were some d@mn good reflexes son, if you’d’ve moved any slowed both of you would’ve gotten covered.” Pa said, his voice weirdly loud. “You’re okay.” He said softly, “They didn’t see.”Danny forced down the pit in his stomach.The kids that ran into the man were crying and the man was panicking. “Are they okay!?! Did they get any on them!?!”Mr. Kent held out a hand and helped him up, “We’re fine John, everyone’s fine.” A woman came up to the man and wrapped him in a hug.He looked over at Danny, “I’m so sorry, I should’ve been more careful, if you hadn’t jumped out of the way…” He looked down at the fussing baby grabbing at Danny’s shirt.Danny swallowed, “It’s fine, it was an accident. We just need to be more careful next time, right?” He said, looking over at the little boys that were crying. “Could you guys do me a favor? Can you bring me a slice of Mrs. Martha’s pie? That always makes me feel better.”They wiped their eyes and nodded fiercely, carefully they made their way over to the dessert table as Danny took a seat.“Are you okay? Do you wanna go home?” Pa asked, setting a comforting hand on his shoulder. Despite the anxiety swirling in his stomach he shook his head.“If we leave now, they’ll feel worse. They need to see that we’re okay.” his stomach turned, “After pie…we can go after pie.” Sammy hit Danny on his chest and Danny tickled Sammy’s belly. “No pie for you little man, you’re still too small.”“MAH” he exclaimed but Danny shrugged, “I’m sorry buddy, but thems the rules.” Mr. Kent chuckled.“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you actually understood him.” He patted Danny’s shoulder, “I’m gonna go get Martha and Carol and tell them what happened, I’ll be back in just a minute.”Moments after he left, the two boys came back each with a piece of pie, Danny smiled. “That’s a lot of pie, I’m not sure I can eat all by myself.” He said with a grin, “Do either of you happen to like pie?” The boys beamed, nodding fervently.Danny took three forks from the silverware holder on the table and handed them out, after dividing up the pie, the boys wasted no time digging in.“Your Ma makes the BEST pie!” one of them said, Danny’s heart almost stopped.“Yeah,” He said, “she does, doesn’t she?” He finished off the last bite of his portion just as Carol and…Ma raced over. The two women looked over both of them and didn’t calm down until they finished.Carol kissed the top of his head before taking Sammy from him, “Thank you so much! I don’t know what I would’ve done if something happened to him.” She held her son tight.Sammy gurgled a bit but didn’t fuss.Soon enough the parents of the two boys arrived, only giving them a slight scolding after Danny spoke on their behalf.Pa set a hand on his shoulder, “You ready to go son?”Danny sucked in a breath and his heart stuttered, “Yeah, let’s go.”—--No one spoke the whole ride home and Jonathan was glad for it. It gave him time to gather his thoughts, and think over how he would address what happened.Martha got a call, about half a mile from the house, he could make out Clark’s frantic voice through the phone, though he couldn’t make out what was said.“We’re headed home now, the barbeque was pretty packed this year. We had a bit of a scare after some of John’s famous Chili when flying but everyone is fine.” Martha reassured.Jonathan had a feeling that whatever powers Danny had probably affected his heart as well. After Danny went to bed the first night of Clark’s visit, their son had immediately addressed his concerns about Danny’s heart.Unfortunately, their explanation that he had a heart condition didn’t exactly help, in fact Jonathan got more calls from Clark than ever before. He constantly kept an ear on Danny’s heart rate, only stopping when he was dealing with one of those big city villains of his.Martha finished up the call just as they pulled up to the house.Danny was the last to climb out of the truck, clearly dreading the conversation they all knew was coming.When they all sat down on the couch, Danny was hunched over worse than Clark when he’s trying to fit into a crowd.“Danny.” Jonathan addressed him calmly. “You don’t have to tell us if you don’t want to, but” He took Martha’s hand, “no matter what, our offer still stands. You will always be welcome here.”Danny sucked in a breath, his face pained, “You can’t promise that.” He looked up at them with tears welling up in his eyes. “I can’t…I’m..I…” He choked back a sob.Martha moved to wrap her arms around the boy, he flinched but didn’t push her away.“I’ll have you know,” she whispered, “I’m a woman of my word. I don’t care if you’re from Mars, you will always have a place here.” Danny covered his face.“Even if I’m dead?” He asked, his voice barely audible.Jonathan’s eyes went wide and Martha held on tighter. “You could be Dracula and you’d still have a place.” Danny snorted into Martha’s shoulder. “Though, we might have to change our dinner plans for tomorrow. I was gonna make spaghetti and garlic bread.” Danny forced out a laugh.“Ancients forbid, I could never give up garlic bread.” he chuckled.Jonathan smirked, “Well, don’t tell me you’re a zombie, I already had the butcher toss the brains from the cows he picked up the other day.”That pulled out another laugh, “No! Not a zombie.” He held his head in his hands as he shook with laughter.“Hmmm, well I'm stumped.” Jonathan shrugged. “I don’t know a whole lotta dead things.”Martha leaned back and rubbed his back. “Whenever you’re ready.”Danny looked back and forth between them and sighed. He gripped his jeans, “I’m a ghost, well, technically I’m a half ghost.”Jonathan looked at him, puzzled. “How can you be a half ghost? I thought ghost’s were just souls.”“It varies depending on the type of ghost, but I’m half ectoplasmic ghost. I’m able to shift between my human and ghost form at will.” He explained, not looking them in the eyes.“So how exactly do you become a half ghost? Were you bitten by a ghost?” Jonathan asked, rethinking everything he knew about ghosts.“No..” Danny said, flinching a bit. “I…I died, but the thing that killed me…it brought me…but…different…wrong.”“There is absolutely nothing wrong with you.” Martha said firmly, leaving no room for argument. She huffed, “Is this why…” She stopped.“My parents…they were ghost hunters. When they found out what I am.” Danny sighed. “I ran away, I tried to get back to the realms, but I found myself here instead.”“The realms? How did that bring you to Kansas?” Martha asked, looking just as confused as Jonathan felt.“Not Kansas, this world. I was trying to get to a natural portal to the infinite realms,” Danny explained, “It’s like a superhighway between realms, the different afterlives, and the multiverse. But instead of going through a portal to the realms, I went through a portal that brought me to this universe.”Jonathan came to a rather amusing realization, but figured he’d save it for later.Martha rubbed his back gently, “I’m sorry you went through that, but I’m happy you’re here now.” She hesitated, looking to Jonathan for support. “Danny, I was talking with Mary, Mrs. Dean, and…well she offered to help get you your paperwork if you needed it. I doubt she had interdimensional travel in mind when she offered but…”Danny furrowed his brow in confusion. Jonathan reached over and took Martha’s hand.“If you want, you can become Danny Kent.” She said, quickly continuing as Danny’s eyes went wide. “It’s your choice of course, and it doesn’t have to mean anything if you don’t want it to. We can get you your paperwork and you can keep your old name or take ours if you want.”“I-I…” Danny took a deep breath, “I don’t know if I can be what you want.”Jonathan smiled, “You already are, you don’t need to be anything but you.”Danny rubbed his eyes. “I don’t know if this is the right choice, I know the kind of things that can happen if I don’t make the right choice.” he looked at the sitting across from him, “But I think…I want it to be, I want to try.”They wrapped Danny up in a big hug, “Then that’s what we’ll do.” Martha whispered gently.—--Later that night after Danny finally fell asleep, Martha joined her husband on the porch.He stared up at the stars, deep in thought. “We certainly do have a certain kind of luck.” He chuckled, wrapping an arm around his wife. “Two boys, and neither of them are from Earth, what’re the chances?”Martha snorted, “One in a million, just like our boys.”“When I was younger, my Pa told me, the hardest thing about having kids was watching them grow up.” He sighed, “He wasn’t wrong by any measure, but I wish he’d mentioned that they also tend to rewrite your entire perception of reality. Aliens, ghosts, what’s next?”“An adventure.” Martha said, leaning into his side.
  
  

    
      
        
        
          Not a single person believes for one second that danny dodged the chili. The man was Lana's husband by the way.Danny got plenty of practice helping Dan's human body grow from infancy, normal babies are nothing after that.Whether or not Danny can actually understand babies is entirely up to your own imagination. I imagine ghost speak allows you to speak any language because it allows you to speak to their soul, so baby talk would totally count.This would also explain why him talking in ghost speak would hurt humans because it's like a direct attack to the soulI've been interchanging Ma/Pa with Mr.Kent/Mrs.Martha while in Danny's point of view to try to show how he's getting comfortable and doesn't always realize what he called them.Danny is officially adopted now! Well, after Mary wakes up and see's martha's text taking her up on her offer.I'm exhausted enough that the insomnia shouldnt stop me tonight, so I'm gonna go try to pass out nowLet me know what you think!'
