Chapter 1
- August 23, 1999 -
Stephanie Tanner was getting ready for the first day of a new school year. She was finally a senior who hoped to go to college to study theater and music. That was until something else changed her life, or someone.
- Flashback -
She was a freshman when she met a boy named Joshua Miller who was in her Biology class. The two had been dating for over a year when they were invited to a party by one of their classmates who was one of Josh's best friends. At some point during the party, Josh took Stephanie to one of the other rooms for a little privacy so they could talk. Josh told her he was in love with her and she replied that she loved him too, then he kissed her passionately on the lips. She ran her fingers through his light brown hair as she returned the kiss. They got so caught up in the moment and ended up making love.
A month or so later, Stephanie didn't feel well and the rest of her family thought she had the flu. Stephanie thought back to what happened at the party and a strong feeling of dread washed over her.
'How am I gonna break this news to Dad?' Stephanie thought. 'Oh, no! He's probably gonna disown me when he finds out.' She waited a few weeks, but one night as she was trying to find an outfit to wear for a night out at the Smash Club with the family and her friend Gia, D.J came in and saw her struggling to button a pair of jeans. Stephanie groaned in frustration and raided her drawers for another pair of pants. She eventually found some black leggings and decided to change into a looser shirt to hide the bump that was beginning to form on her belly. D.J noticed though, and she gave her sister a look of shock.
"You still haven't told Dad, have you?" She asked.
"Not yet." Steph replied.
"Well, you should tell him. You won't be able to hide it for much longer."
"Yeah, you're right, Deej." Stephanie sighed and adjusted her clothes before moving on to her hair. "I'll tell him tomorrow night at dinner."
"Okay."
The next night as the family sat down for dinner, Stephanie decided that it was time to come clean. She anxiously shuffled her food around on her plate with a fork for a moment and cleared her throat.
"Dad, there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it, Steph?" Danny asked.
"I'm pregnant." Everyone dropped their silverware which made a loud clattering sound as they hit the plates.
"You're what?" Jesse interrogated.
"I said I'm pregnant."
"Steph, I'm very disappointed in you. I thought I raised you girls better than that." Danny scolded.
"I know. I'm sorry, Dad. You're not gonna disown me, are you?" Tears formed in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.
"Honey, I love you. I would never disown you."
"Really? You wouldn't?"
"No, never. Now what are you planning to do with the baby?"
"I don't know. I couldn't get an abortion. I could never kill my own child, no matter what the circumstances and I feel kind of weird about giving it up to a total stranger to raise."
"Good points there!" Joey agreed.
"Steph, whatever you decide to do, Jesse and I support you." Rebecca assured her.
"I'll babysit for you," Michelle added. "but you're on your own with the diapers, Dude!"
"We'll help too." Nicky and Alex chimed in.
"Me too." D.J said.
"I'll help as well, but you are finishing school and getting a job to pay for what the baby needs."
"You got it, Dad, and thanks so much, guys! I appreciate it." Stephanie smiled gratefully and the family ate their dinner.
The months passed by and on May 19, 1998, Stephanie and Josh welcomed a baby girl, a little small due to being four weeks early, but healthy. She had her mother's blond hair and blue eyes. Stephanie named her Sadie Pamela Rose Miller in honor of her late mother. Danny was touched by this. He smiled proudly as Stephanie handed him the baby and he leaned toward her to give her a kiss.
"Pam, our granddaughter looks just like you. I wish you were here so you could see her." he said softly as he cradled the sleeping newborn in his arms.
- End flashback -
Sadie was now a healthy, energetic fifteen month old and the entire family adored her. Her blond hair was slightly darker now and her eyes had changed to brown like her father's.
"Steph! Breakfast!"
"Coming, Dad!" Stephanie got herself dressed and did a quick check in the mirror. She wore a black Guns 'n Roses t-shirt with an unbuttoned black, gray, and white flannel shirt over it, light blue jeans, and a pair of red and white converse sneakers. Her hair was down with a white headband.
She lifted Sadie out of her crib, changed her diaper and dressed her in a white onesie, a pink t-shirt that said 'Mommy's little angel', dark blue jeans, and pink socks and they went downstairs to eat their breakfast.
"Hey, you two." Danny greeted as they came into the kitchen.
"Morning." she replied back.
"Hi Stephie! Hi Sadie!" Rebecca and Jesse's two and a half year old daughter Leah said.
"Hi Leah." Stephanie strapped Sadie into her high chair and helped set the food on the table. She cut up some scrambled eggs, sausage, and toast, blew on it a bit to cool it down, then she filled a sippy cup with milk and put it on the high chair's tray. She took her seat and everyone started fixing their plates.
Sadie giggled as she took some egg into her tiny fists and smashed it in her face.
"Awww, you little stinker!" Stephanie laughed. After she and Sadie finished eating, she took the toddler out of the chair and cleaned her up. She glanced at the microwave clock which read 7:48. "Dad, can you watch Sadie tonight? I have a job interview after school." She asked.
"I thought you already had a job." Michelle said.
"I do, but I'm trying to get a better one. So, Dad, can you?"
"Sure, no problem. Have a great day at school and good luck with that interview."
"Thanks Dad." She blew a kiss and gave Sadie a hug and then grabbed her backpack and left for school.
- Bayview High School, 20 minutes later -
Stephanie parked her red 1993 Toyota Camry in the student parking lot and walked to her homeroom. She was about to enter the room when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.
"Hi Josh." She greeted.
"Hey Steph. How have you and our daughter been?"
"We're good. Sadie's getting so big." Josh smiled at the mention of his daughter's name. "How was Germany?"
"That's great. Germany was cool, but I missed you two so much. I know your dad hates me and refuses to let me come over, so would you mind if I took Sadie to the park on Saturday?"
"He doesn't hate you. He's just very protective. He'll come around eventually. But in answer to your question, I was planning on taking her anyway, so why don't we go together?" She offered.
"Yeah, I'd like that. How does 1:00 sound?" But just as Josh is about to answer, the loud sound of the bell rings through the couple's ears.
"Sounds good to me. See you later, Steph."
"Later!" They parted and went to their homerooms. Stephanie grinned happily and she took a seat in the back row next to her best friend Gia.
Meanwhile, someone had been watching Stephanie and Josh from a short distance away, fuming with anger and jealousy at the couple, just waiting for a chance to strike.
