Chapter 2: Everything To Me
The next day, Danny was in distress. The phone was ringing off the hook, with information about Becky's condition. After all the phone call mania, he sat down and looked through Becky's address book and called everyone she knew. The first person he called was Becky's parents.
As he dialed the number, he was thinking about what they might say. They would probably rush out to San Francisco and then get all pissed at Danny because he didn't call earlier. He had already called his work, and telling them that he wasn't going to be there and neither was Becky. They understood.
The Donaldson's answered their phone, and Danny was in denial. He shortly explained the situation to Becky's caring parents and quickly hung up the phone without even saying goodbye. They wondered why Danny was being so rude to them, like they didn't matter to him.
D.J. was in total agony. She couldn't believe that this could happen to her role model, mother figure, ex-aunt probably going to become aunt again, her guide in life. She never had a mother figure in her life until Becky came around. She was so happy with Becky around her, surrounding her life, her protector. She was hysterical, and couldn't get through a minute without crying. This really affected her and her daily life. She wanted it to be the way it used to be, before this happened. She always wrote in her journal, and her journal knew up-front how she was feeling. Yet, she had a secret she was hiding from everyone that she was crying about also. She was pregnant; with her boyfriends' baby. Her boyfriends' name was Chris, and they were never in love. He abused D.J., and one stormy night, he raped her. She didn't want to tell her family this secret because they already had enough on their plate already. Jesse's drug use, Becky's wreck, and she didn't want to make it harder than it already was.
Stephanie had been off in Pennsylvania, visiting what her school called "the best sights you'll ever see in your entire life." She didn't think they were, since she thought all trips without a TV were uninteresting. She had returned to the full house the day after Becky's wreck, and Danny had delivered the news to her. She was heartbroken, and nearly froze. She wondered what would happen to Becky, even though she knew that Becky was paralyzed for life. How would we take care of her? Stephanie thought to herself. Would Becky have to go live in one of those dirty nursing homes if we couldn't take care of her?
Stephanie went up to her room, and heard D.J. talking to herself. Stephanie was still an evil eavesdropper, and stood by D.J.'s door, with D.J. not noticing her. D.J. was mumbling "Why did I ever let that creep into my life? Now I'm pregnant and alone." Stephanie was shocked and was going to scream at D.J., but she knew that everything was going bad for the Tanner's already, why let this in the way? Stephanie decided to tell Joey, so D.J. could get the proper care for her and baby and not go through hell.
Joey was in his room, sleeping. He had become a lazy person since computers were invented. Stephanie slightly shook Joey and woke him up. "Steph, I'm sleeping," he mumbled as he pushed the covers over his face. "Joey, I need to talk to you. Wake up!" Stephanie announced. Joey took the covers over his head impatiently, wondering what was wrong. Then, he looked at the clock. "How did I manage to sleep this long?" he said. "Joey. If Dad didn't tell you, Becky was in a serious car wreck and is paralyzed." Stephanie told him. "Oh my God Stephanie." He was speechless after that. "Also Joey, D.J. is pregnant." Stephanie explained to him.
"She is? That creep Chris probably raped her. He wasn't her type anyways. We need to tell Danny and the police." Joey was in a shocked mode, he was confused and misplaced. He thought of a joke to crack, but decided this wasn't the time or the place to make jokes. Becky was paralyzed and D.J. was pregnant. Those issues were on his mind.
Joey got out of the bed with his Popeye pajamas on and walked down the steps to the kitchen, where Danny was tapping his head and silently mumbling to himself. "Joey, glad to see you awake," he said. "I guess you probably know what happened to Becky."
"Yes, and did you know D.J. is pregnant?" he said quickly. "D.J.!" Danny screamed. D.J. heard and ran down the stairs. "Young lady, are you pregnant?" he asked her. "Daddy…Chris raped me. I didn't want to have sex with him, but he forced me to and got me pregnant. I was trying to break off the relationship too." D.J. explained to him.
"You are getting an abortion young lady." He said madly. D.J. quickly responded to him: "No daddy, I don't want to. Even though I don't know my baby, it means everything to me."
