maderrI've been inflicting Lost Things From the Notebooks upon her all night.
I found a DwtD drabble, of chibi!Chris doing his ghost thing for mommy and daddy.
It's not great, but worth a cute point or two.
Glenys panicked when she went to find Chris for his snack time and realized he was nowhere to be found. Calling Daniel, they set to searching for him. After nearly an hour with no success, Glenys began to really panic.
In tears, she’d started to call her mother—
—When he strolled into the kitchen asking plaintively for a snack and more juice.
Daniel kept her from killing him.
When she asked where he’d been, Christian frowned – so much like his father – and her he’d been playing across the street (an empty lot she’d cleaned out and set up with a swing set that had set her back a year on repairing the kitchen).
She told him only naughty boys lied.
Christian had started to cry and said he wasn’t lying – he’d been pretending to be daddy while he was swinging.
She and Daniel exchanged puzzled glances.
“What do you mean, sweetie?”
Christian frowned at them and rubbed his eyes. “Like this,” he said with a sniffle, and vanished before their eyes.
Glenys let out a scream of surprise as her son vanished and immediately ordered him to unvanish right this instant. She pulled her son close and gave him a hug, kissing his cheek and wiping the tears from his face. “Mommy is sorry for shouting, baby doll. I didn’t know you could be like daddy.”
Daniel knelt down and cocked his head thoughtfully. “Chris – can you do it halfway? Like Daddy is now?”
“Little bit,” Christian’s tears vanished as he realized his parents were no longer angry. Scrunching his eyes closed, he softly muttered ‘like daddy’ and bit by bit he seemed to fade, until Glenys could just barely see the wall behind him.
“That’s very good, Chris,” Daniel said warmly. “You can stop now.”
Bemused, Glenys fixed her son a snack and got him some juice. Once he was at the table, happily eating, she stepped into the hallway with Daniel. “It’s…I never…” she stopped and shook her head. “Amazing.” She smiled faintly at her lover – her husband in everything but ceremony.
Daniel soothed up and down her arms, his ghostly touch hot-cold against her skin. “This will certainly make it hard to discipline him.”
Glenys rolled her eyes. “This is no time for jokes.”
“Are you truly that upset, sweetheart?”
“Huh?” Glenys blinked at the deep frown on Daniel’s face. “Of course not, Dan. I’m just worried for him. Is it okay, do you think? For him to be half-ghost?”
Daniel smiled and stroked her cheek with one ghostly hand. “If the kid isn’t bothered by it – and clearly all he needs is practice – the I wouldn’t worry.”
Glenys nodded, taking a deep breath. “Things are going to be interesting from here on out, I can see.” She frowned, a thought occurring to her. “Why can he go invisible but not transparent?”
“it’s easier to be invisible. Ghosts are made by will, right? So to be nothing is ver easy. To be somewhere between something and nothing is much harder. It’s probably even harder for him because he’s alive.”
Glenys stood up on her toes to brush a soft kiss across her husband’s mouth. “You’ll help him?”
“Of course.”
“I mean in a good way, not in a ‘let’s give mommy a heart attack’ kind of way.
“If you insist, peach.”
