Chapter 10: Enjoy The Silence

A/N; I know, I know. I've been on a hiatus for almost a month. I've had a semi writer's block. But now with a clear mind, I'm back in the saddle again! (Aerosmith reference anyone?) Here's the long awaited chapter you guys have been thinking about! Enjoy my fellow readers.

A couple of months later, Stephanie and Jimmy had become a couple. It wasn't a surprise to both of them, and they were very happy to be with each other.

Stephanie was doing some math homework in her room, almost finishing her last problem. Before she wrote the answer down, there was a knock at the door.

Steph put down her pencil on the wooden desk and turned to the door's direction. "Come in."

The door opened, revealing Danny. He has a laundry basket in his hands with Steph's laundry. "I have laundry for you. I see you're busy with homework."

Steph casually responded back. "Yeah, but I'm just about done."

Danny half smiled. "That's great to hear. Can I ask you something?" He set the basket down on her bed and went back to his original spot, facing Steph.

"Yeah, of course." Steph was curious to her dad's question. She hoped she didn't do something wrong.

Danny began. "Well I hear you've been dating a guy by the name of Jimmy, right?"

Steph hesitated, feeling unsure where the conversation was going to end. "Yeah I am. He's a nice guy and I'm sure you guys won't have any problems with one another." She thought, Oh yes Dad will have a problem with Jimmy, but if he can tolerate me, he should tolerate Jimmy too. At least Dad isn't so negative about boys anymore.

"I wanted to get to know him by inviting him over to dinner. We could have dinner of your choice." Danny suggested, trying to make up for his recently outrageous behavior.

Steph felt a nervous knot in her stomach. Her dad was being more opened minded, but she could sense trouble. I thank you for being less of an ass, but I think you shouldn't do this. Steph thought, and she gulped nervously. Jimmy was a nice guy and he'd never disrespect anyone. But will Dad see through his rock n roll image?

"Sure Dad, but what if you don't like him?" Steph asked, feeling her forehead starting to sweat.

"What does that mean?" Danny said, with a hint of concern.

Steph felt startled like a deer seeing car headlights, and she couldn't lie to Danny. "What if Jimmy was, well.. a rocker?"

Danny didn't answer, he felt like lecturing Stephanie about the "dangers" about rockers. He had to give Jimmy a chance, but if he was really uncomfortable with the idea he was dating her sweet, innocent Stephanie, who was going down a terrible path, he'd forbid it.

Danny started to hesitate as well. "Well let's forget the idea he is one, and let's just focus on the positives." He semi-lied about what he said, but he couldn't be unreasonable, at least not now.

Stephanie smiled brightly and looked radiant. "Oh thanks Dad! I'm glad you're giving Jimmy a chance!"

Danny half smiled "I am too." The words felt like poison to his mouth.

He walked out of Steph's room, closing the door behind him. He felt very out of character, and wanted to say "No." to Steph having a boyfriend like that. His feelings were conflicted, and he had felt very overwhelmed.

He hated how his girls were grown up, with the exception of Michelle. He felt like he had no control over them, and wanted their naïveness take over. DJ was wise, and was always the golden child. Michelle was the baby and would always be "Daddy's Girl". Stephanie was just troublesome.

He had to admit, she was nice and all that jazz. But she was so different. She had a different mindset and philosophy, and she'd ignore Danny a lot lately. Danny had felt clueless to why, but he had other issues to deal with.

Danny was used to everything being his way and his way only.

But why was everybody going against his beliefs?

A/N- I know it's short, but it's a start from awakening from writer's block. The chapter title is the song by Depeche Mode, and the song's lyrics are pretty deep. I don't own the song or Full House. I'm in school again, so my updates won't be so frequent. Comments, suggestions, ideas? Leave a review, they make the story go faster and they make my day! Keep on reading guys! Rock on 3
