"Eww gross!
Mom, Dad," said a voice.
Ray and Jenny looked up to see Andrew, standing in the doorway.
"One day son, you won't find this gross," Ray laughed.
"Or kissing girls to that matter," Jenny added with a chuckle.
"The only girl I'll ever kiss is you mom, said Andrew, I put all my laundry in the wash pile and gave fresh water to Hugo."
Thanks sweetie," said Jenny.
"Say Andrew, now that you're here with us, we like to talk to you about something," said Ray.
"Am I in trouble?" asked a now nervous Andrew.
"Of course Andrew, and it's actually good news," Jenny assured him.
"Oh Ok then."
Andrew entered the bedroom and sat on the foot of the bed.
"Andrew, you're not going to be the only child in the house
We're getting an addition to our family," said Ray.
Andrew's eyes popped.
"Mom's going to have a baby?" asked Andrew.
"No, but you are going to have someone like a sibling," Jenny explained.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember a few months ago when your father went to the funeral of my best friend and her husband?"
"Is that the couple who had the daughter?"
"That's right.
Kylie is coming to stay with us."
"But, before we jump ahead with it, we want to know how you feel about this," said Ray.
Andrew thought for a minute then answered with a smile," I won't be an only child anymore.
I'm not going to be a big brother, but I'm fine with a big sister."
Jenny gave a her son a hug.
"Are we going to share a room?" Andrew asked.
"She's getting her own room," Jenny replied.
"We only have three rooms, ours, Andrew's and your photo lab," Ray pointed out.
"Ray, I know you gave me that room, but I was thinking of converting the photo lab into a room for Kylie," said Jenny.
"What about your photos and equipment mom?" asked Andrew.
"I'll move them to the basement.
We've been meaning to do re-decorating down there anyway."
"Well then, it's all settle.
We'll be set for Kylie," said Ray.
Over the next few days, Jenny, Ray and Andrew worked on getting the house ready for Kylie's arrival.
Jenny moved all her camera and photography equipment into the basement, after she and Ray fixed it up, and the photo room was now converted into a bedroom.
A few days before heading out to Wisconsin to pick up, Ray reunited with his former ghostbusters team mates for a family gettogether at Central Park.
As the adults chatted, on the playground area, Andrew was telling the other kids about Kylie coming.
"That was good-hearted of "aunt" Jenny and "uncle" Ray to take in your mom's friend's daughter," said Oscar, as he played catch with his half-brother, Peter Jr. who added, "I have a friend in my special ED class, Tommy, he's adopted to.
I've been to his house a few times, his parents are very nice.
They took us to Coney Island last week, it was a lot of fun."
"Just because this girl is coming to stay with Andrew, "aunt" Jenny and "uncle" Ray, it doesn't mean they're going to adopt her," their sister Tabitha pointed out, as she pushed herself on a swing.
"Maybe Kylie is only going to stay with you temporary.
One of my fellow classmates had to go into foster care for awhile due to a situation with his family," said Lila, as she swung herself on the swing next to her friend.
"It doesn't matter how long Kylie is going to stay.
As Oscar said, it's wonderful what "aunt" Jenny and "uncle" Ray are doing is wonderful and good hearted of them," said Rhonda, as she went up and down on a see-saw with her brother Gerald who added, "Mom did the same thing with our cousins Jessica and Christopher, yet they're more like brother and sister to us."
"Have you ever met Kylie?"
"She came to our home once when I was a baby, but I don't remember.
Mom told me she fed me a bottle, carried me around like a doll and tried to put me in her toy stroller," Andrew replied.
Meanwhile, Ray and Jenny were telling his former ghostbusters and their wives about Kylie's arrival as well.
All of them, especially Grace, who had been in the situation before, with adopting her niece and nephew after her sister and husband were killed said that they'll help Ray and Jenny in anyway they can.
The two of them were grateful by the comment.
Over the next weeks, Ray, Jenny and Andrew made sure the house was ready for Kylie's arrival.
One morning as Jenny was about to head to the travel agency, to order tickets for the trip to Wisconsin, the phone rang.
She answered it.
It was Deborah, letting her know that she and her husband will be flying to New York to bring Kylie, rather than have Ray, Jenny and Andrew fly out to pick her up.
Deborah then gave Jenny the date when the three will be coming into Kennedy Airport.
Jenny didn't ask any questions why they was going to be a change of plans, but Deborah will explain why this was taking place when they meet up.
A few days later, Jenny, Ray and Andrew were at Kennedy Airport, waiting in the arrival area for Kylie.
Jenny held up a home-made sign that she and Andrew worked on the night before that read "Welcome Kylie."
Just then, someone called out to her.
"Jenny," said a femaine voice.
The Stantz family looked to see a couple, a man and a woman walking with a young girl, who looked to be in her early teens.
Jenny knew it was Deborah and her husband Eric.
She then went to greet them.
"Jenny, I want to thank you and your family for meeting us on such short notice," said Deborah
"It's no trouble at all," said Jenny, who then took notice of the young girl, which was indeed Kylie, who had changed since the funeral.
The pre-teen was dressed in full-on black clothes, and her once strawberry blonde hair was now the same shade as her attire.
Deborah said to her husband," Eric, give Kylie a hand getting her bags."
When the two disappeared to baggage claim, Deborah and Jenny talked.
"This is why we had to bring her here sooner.
Eric and I feel she's getting worse," said Deborah.
"What happened to her hair?" asked Jenny.
"Kylie dyed it and the coloring ruined our bathroom sink.
She's not getting along with any member of the family.
Even my own kids."
"Don't worry Deborah.
We'll take care of her," said Jenny.
"We really appreciate this Jenny from you and your family."
