1Day Before The Adoption Children Meet The Tanner Family
On Friday midday, Becky and Jesse had just finished their brunch with the Tanners and were just as excited to receive their children tomorrow. Becky proposed a question, "Would any of you care to join us for some shopping for the children?"
Stephanie spoke, "I'd love to go and buy something for Stephanie Jr. and her sister, Ana. Hold on and I'll run upstairs and get my money."
Since the adopted child has the same name as Stephanie, everyone just thought to call her Stephanie Jr.
D.J. said, " I'd love to go, but I'm meeting Steve soon and we are spending the afternoon together. Sorry."
Joey pondered, " I think I'll go too. The kid, Jeff, sounds very funny. I have to get him something real cool, so count me in."
Becky questioned, "D.J., where are you meeting Steve?"
D.J. answered, "at the Berkshire Café Plaza."
Becky said, "Oh my god. We'll be shopping in that plaza today. You could come with us and then go off and meet him."
D.J. said, "Sure, I guess. Let me run up and get my stuff though."
Once everyone was ready, the five of them departed. At arrival of the Berkshire Café Plaza, D.J. saw Steve and left. The others proceeded to Filene's Basement. In there, they split up. Half an hour later, Stephanie found a pair of jeans, sweater, t-shirt,and shoes that Steph Jr. would like. Joey found an old slot machine that Jeff could entertain himself with. Becky had picked out a new wardrobe and trinket for each child. Jesse found a guitar and banjo that he thought Chris would very much enjoy. Once they brought their purchases to the front, the total came to $248.56.
Stephanie gave the cashier $40.56, Joey pitched in $60.00, and Jesse charged the rest to his credit card. Next they went to a card shop and bought each child a card with a guardian angel pin. Finally, they left for the Tanner home. Once they got back, they deposited all the stuff in Becky's attic room. Once Joey, Jesse, and Stephanie went downstairs, Becky busied herself by wrapping each gift and placing them neatly on each of the children's beds. When she was done, she smiled and admired what a fine job she had done.
For the rest of the day, the family just relaxed and watched television in the living room. Around 7pm, Steve and D.J. walk hand-in-hand, through the front door and go up to Deej's room. The family barely noticed that they had come in because they were so engrossed in reruns on t.v.
In D.J.'s room, Steve sat on D.J.'s bed. He said, "I had a fun time this afternoon. We should do this everyday."
D.J. smiled, "Yeah it was nice. I loved it."
Before Steve said anything, he embraced D.J. and kissed her. They laid together on her bed for 20 minutes. Finally, Steve arose and spoke, "I'm going to have to leave you here, sweetheart. I'll call you later though when I get home. Let's make plans for tomorrow night at Picasso's italian buffet. You can sleep over my place if you'd like too."
D.J. kissed her boyfriend and whispered, "I'd love to, Steve. I can't wait to see you again tomorrow night."
Steve left and Deej fell asleep with ease.
By 9 o'clock, the family was sound asleep. Some were too tired to climb the stairs to their room so they slept in the living room downstairs.
Once it was 7 am on Saturday morning,
