A/N: I'm back! Sorry for the hiatus. Thank you so much for the reviews and follows! Review what you want to happen next...baby gets a name? Kimmy's fate? Got ideas? :)
While Ramona and Matt stayed at the hospital, DJ called an important family meeting.
"We need to talk about everything that is happening." DJ announced. "Boys...I think you know that Kimmy was in a car accident."
"Yeah." Max replied, "I hope she's okay. I love her."
"Well, things are going to be changing a little bit around here."
"Changing? How?" Jackson asked.
"Matt is going to need help with baby until Kimmy can come home. And Kimmy's party planning business needs someone running it. She had stuff booked before the accident happened."
"I'll work on the business." Steph chimed in, "I'm her co-partner. We are running this business together."
"Let's get back to this whole changing thing, mom..." Jackson said, "Last time you said things were changing, Kimmy and Ramona moved in here!"
"Well...actually...with all of the medical bills and both Matt and Kimmy not working as much for the next few months...they're going to be struggling to pay their bills. So, Matt and the baby are going to stay here..."
"...which means..."
"Ramona and Kinmy will also be staying here...they're all gonna move in...won't this be wonderful to have them here?!"
Jackson started to giggle. "Good one, mom. Now you're just messing with me."
"Jackson, I am not messing with you."
"Why do they have to move in?! Mom, they're here all the time anyway. It's their fault! They decided to get married. They decided to have a baby! Why is this our problem?!"
"Jackson, she has been my best friend since kindergarten. And right now, they need us. We don't know when Kimmy will wake up or get to come home, and in the meantime Matt is going to be trying to take care of a new baby and take care of Kimmy and Ramona and it's just going to be so hard."
"I still don't get why we have to let them move in."
"Maybe a little compassion will help you understand. I will take you to see Kimmy."
The front door flung open. "I don't know what else to say or do..." Matt said.
Ramona stood behind him crying, "It's all MY FAULT. If my mom wouldn't have been picking me up, this never would have happened. I should've just walked home from school."
DJ chased after her.
"So is the family meeting over?" Max asked.
"Yeah Max, I think the family meeting is over." Steph replied. "Matt, can you keep an eye on the boys? I'm gonna go see if I can help with Ramona..."
By the time Steph got up to the room, DJ had Ramona's head on her shoulder.
"I was just telling Ramona how much her mom loves her and would do anything for her, and how none of this is her fault..."
DJ continued, "Your mom would agree with me that this isn't your fault. She would do anything for you, Ramona. I remember when you were a baby, and Kimmy was planning your first birthday. Kimmy was so worried about it. She wanted everything to be perfect...for you. You became the center of her entire world before you were even born..."
Steph nodded, "She loves you so much. She wouldn't want you to blame yourself, ever. I wasn't really around much when your mom was pregnant with you..." Steph shared, "But I was there after you were born. After your mom got to the hospital we came to see you. I think she loved you before she ever met you. She held you on her chest and honestly, I've never seen her smile so much until that day. And the look in her eyes when she stared at you...I'll never forget it...she was in love."
