1The Adopted Children Come Home To Their New Family
At 9 am on Saturday, the Tanners, Becky, Jesse, and Joey hurriedly get ready. An hour later, everyone was all set by the door when Kimmy popped in. Stephanie questioned, "What are you doing here, stinky feet? We're just about to leave."
Kimmy grinned, "Oh, I just came by to say hi and see D.J. Can I go with you guys, wherever it is you're going?"
D.J. said, "We'll be right back, Kimmy. I promise. This is an important errand we have to run but we'll be back quick. You'll see what we bring home later...it's sort of a surprise for us all too."
At that, Kimmy turned on her heels and left. The Tanners all piled in to their minivan. Becky, Jesse, and Joey, went in Jesse's brand new red convertible. At a quarter past ten, they arrived at the adoption center and knocked on the door. The maid was utterly shocked to see so many people on their doorstep, but she let them all in and to the headmaster's office. In the headmaster's office, all four children were ready to go with their small bag of personal belongings each. Steph Jr. And Ana ran to Becky and hugged her, while Chris and Jeff walked over to Jesse to greet him. Becky and Jesse both introduced the children to the Tanners, and everyone was so happy. While this family reuniion was taking place, the headmaster looked up, " Would it be possible if you take this family reunion someplace else? I'm very happy for you all, but I'm really trying to get some work done."
Becky apologized, "I'm sorry. We'll be leaving now. Bye."
After they left, they all went back to the Tanner home. Becky and Jesse took the four children up to their shared room so they can feel comfortable and be settled in. The rest of the family just lingered downstairs. Chris, Jeff, Ana, and Steph Jr. All loved their special portion of the room. They each opened their gifts and loved it all. Chris loved the guitar and banjo, Jeff was exceptionally intrigued with the slot machine, Ana loved her diary and clothing, and Steph Jr. savored every minute of this wonderful experience. Once they had everything in place in their room, Ana approached her new mom and said, "May I go see Michelle? She seems so nice."
Steph Jr. said, "Can I go see Stephanie? Since she has the same name as me, I'd like to know more about her."
Becky said yes to both the girls and added, " You girls can go see them anytime you'd like, but you cannot leave this house unattended. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you."
The girls were off down the stairs. Jeff stayed up in his room playing with the slot machine. Chris was fiddling with his guitar and was aching to play some music. Becky admired, "I see you like your new guitar, Chris. Would you like your dad to come up and give you a lesson or two?"
Chris looked up and smiled, "Yes please. Thank you, mom."
Becky was pleased with how the children are adapting well to the family.
What do you think I should write about in the next chapter? No flames please, but I need suggestions. Thanks to all so far!
