Stephanie's Heart

(A/N – Hey everyone! Stephanie's conversation with DJ felt very unfinished. So, I decided to expand it. SPOILERS: Eps. 2 & 8 of Fuller House. Rated T for subject matter & to be safe).

I own nothing except Travis, Missy, and the expansion of the storyline. Any similarities are purely coincidental, and no infringement is intended.

Thanks! Please Review! ~The Rising Phoenix~)

Chapter #1 – What Wasn't Said

Present Time

"Look who's getting sucked into the vortex of motherhood." DJ teased lovingly.

I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces all over again.

…"I found out awhile ago, it's just not gonna happen for me…"

"I was in England, and you had just lost your husband…" I explained.

After our huge group hug, I said goodnight to Kimmy, Ramona, Jackson and Max, once again leaving DJ, baby Tommy, and me in the room.

"Are you going to be okay?" DJ asked with concern, s I held tightly, but lovingly onto Tommy.

"Yeah, I suppose I'm still dealing. I'm okay most days, and others, it just hurts."

I kissed Tommy on the head, and tucked him into his crib, laying a loving hand on his head a moment more, in longing once again for what I can no longer have.

After a moment, I turned, hugged DJ and thanked her for her support.

I made my way downstairs to the basement, and into bed.

I felt sick, so I crawled into bed.

Laying down, I cried my eyes out.

After I felt I had no more tears to cry for the time being, I stared up at the ceiling.

I fell into a fitful sleep.

I told her. I told DJ.

But I only told her half of my secret.

It wasn't just that I couldn't have kids…

It was because I miscarried.

And I didn't even know I was pregnant.
