Thanks to everyone who reviewed the first and second chapters, and here is the third!

You're going to have to pretend that Jesse and Becky have an extra room in their attic apartment...if you don't, then nothing is going to make sense.

----------------------------

There was silence for a moment as people considered what Emily had just said.

"So...what now?" Joey asked.

"Well...we have to find a place for Emily to stay." Danny replied.

"Danny, couldn't she stay here? Jesse and I have that extra room." Becky said, watching Danny carefully.

"We have too many people already, Becky. The last thing was need is another kid running around." Danny turned to Emily. "No offense, you understand." Emily shrugged.

"But she'd be no trouble at all. She could help out with Nicky and Alex, and you would hardly notice her."

"I just don't think it's a good idea. We just don't have room." Danny answered.

Becky wasn't about to give up. "DJ, Stephanie, Michelle, why don't you take the twins upstairs and show Emily your room?"

The Tanner girls took the boys and left the kitchen, but Emily hesitated for a moment before speaking to Danny.

"You don't have to let me live here, you know. I understand that you have a crowded house and you don't need me around." Her face was calm, but her voice shook just a little. "I'd be happy to go back to the streets." Then she went into the living room, where the others were waiting.

"Well, that settles that." Danny started to get up, but Becky gave him a stern look and he sat back down.

"Danny, can't you tell that she doesn't want to go back? And you wouldn't want to, either, if you had been through some of the things she has." Becky said. "You have to let her stay here. If you don't, you're sending her back out to die."

Danny looked at Jesse. "Jesse, are you okay with Emily staying in your extra room?"

Jesse shrugged. "Yeah, I guess it would be all right. She seems like a cool kid."

Danny looked around at his family. "Well, then, I guess she's staying."

Becky cheered and hugged Danny. "Let's go tell her the good news."

-------------------------------

Emily had left.

She had left while the girls were playing with the twins. They weren't going to miss her- they had a whole family to keep them company. It wasn't like they cared about her at all; they were just being nice because they felt they had to.

She didn't belong there anyway. In that house, with all those nice things...these people had everything. They had a loving family, food every day, warm clothes, and a soft, comfortable bed to climb into every night. It was sickening.

She could survive okay out on the streets. She had done it for four years, hadn't she? She could do it for another six, until she was old enough to collect the money her mother had left for her.

Emily sighed and swung her backpack up onto her back, before starting off. There wasn't a place for her here, and she refused to keep looking. She had friends who would take care of her. Hopefully.

---------------------------------

Danny, Becky, Jesse, and Joey walked into the living room to find nobody there. They went upstairs to the room Stephanie and DJ shared and found the three Tanner girls along with Nicky and Alex- but no Emily.

"Girls...where is Emily?" Danny asked, stepping inside the room.

"Oh...she left." DJ replied.

"She left? Where did she go?" Becky questioned, hurrying over to the girls.

"I don't know...she didn't say anything. She just...left." DJ said. Michelle and Stephanie nodded.

"We have to go find her! Something could have happened to her!" Becky was starting to lose it.

Stephanie answered this time. "I'm sure she's fine, Aunt Becky...she can take care of herself."

Becky didn't listen. She sat down on one of the two beds and buried her head in her hands. She had seen her niece for the first time in years...and now she was gone. What kind of aunt was she?

She suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and the bed creaked as someone sat down next to her.

It was Jesse. "Don't worry, Becky. We'll find her."

-----------------------------------------------

Okay, people, I need help!

I don't know what ages the kids (DJ, Stephanie, Michelle, Nicky, and Alex) are supposed to be. I heard somewhere that the three Tanner girls are five years apart...is that right? How much of an age difference is there between the girls and the twins? How old were the girls when DJ got her own room and Michelle moved in with Stephanie? The last one...I have to know because I don't know if Stephanie and Michelle are supposed to be sharing a room...help!

I don't want it to be inaccurate, but if I don't figure this out, I'll have to just make up the ages and hope it all fits together. So if you know...please tell me!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
