D.J. knocked on her son's door, ready to tell him that dinner was ready when she heard a sob coming from the other side of the door.
"J.D.?" she asked.
"Go away!" J.D. shouted back.
D.J. sighed and opened the door, seeing her son look at the old photograph of him and his dad at the county fair three years ago.
"What's wrong?" she said.
"You said you and Steve almost kissed! What about Dad?"
D.J. felt a sense of déjà vu. Stephanie and she had had this conversation before with their Dad when he wanted to start dating again. Except…this conversation would be a little different.
"'Almost' is the key word here. I still love your father and nothing's going to take away from that. I've known Steve since high school. We used to date and kiss and everything that couples do, but we're not going to, now. That was the past. No one could take your father's place in my heart."
"Then why'd you almost kiss him?"
"It wasn't planned, it just happened. We didn't kiss and it won't happen again. Steve's just going to be a friend from now on."
"But…what if you do fall in love with him and get married?"
"Your father and I one night a few months after Max was born had a talk. It was a talk about if something happened to one of us. And both of us said we'd want the other to find someone to spend the rest of their lives with. But, I don't want to fall in love again. Your father was it," D.J. explained. "And, you know, if I change my mind you'll be the first to know."
D.J. was just about to leave when J.D. said one more thing, "Is…is Steve a good guy?"
D.J. smiled at her son.
"One of the best," she answered. "Dinner's almost ready, so how about you come down?"
J.D. followed his mother downstairs. D.J. went and stood by Stephanie and Kimmy.
"He heard us talking," she said.
"Is he now upset like we were when Dad started dating again?" Stephanie asked.
"Yeah. But then I told him I don't want to fall in love again. I don't know if he believed me or not that Tommy was it."
"Tommy would want you to be happy. He'd want you to date," Kimmy said.
"We had that awkward ex's talk. I'm sure if he was to approve of anyone dating me, it'd be Steve. He seemed to think he was a good guy," D.J. said.
"It's like he pushed both of you to go to the store and see each other again," Kimmy joked and brought the spaghetti to the table.
D.J. chuckled at the idea, obviously thinking it was one of the stupidest things she ever thought could happen.
Yeah right, she thought to herself as she served herself some spaghetti.
She looked down at her stomach and immediately knew what she wanted to name her son. Timothy Junior. That would be his name. His legacy should be named with his last child.
"Mom?" Max asked, bring D.J. out of her thoughts as she stared at her spaghetti, not eating it. "Everything okay?"
"Perfect." D.J. smiled. "I just thought of the perfect name for the baby. Timothy Junior."
The family around her smiled. They all thought it was a great idea.
"Tommy would like that," Kimmy said.
"I think it's great," Max said.
D.J. looked at Jesse.
"Wonderful," he responded.
"I love it, too," Stephanie said.
"I'm sure that Ramona'll love it, too," Kimmy said of her daughter, who wasn't here because she was having dinner at a friend's house.
"Good, now eat some of my delicious spaghetti."
The family laughed and ate. Afterwards, the family went out to Oberweiss where they ran into Steve and Jasmine.
Ooh, cliffhanger! AND DID ANYONE READ THAT STEVE IS COMING ONTO THE SHOW?! SO EXCITED! UNTIL NEXT TIME!
