Thanks for all the reviews. I'm glad to hear that you guys like this story! Wow! I can't believe how well this story is being received. I've gotten 1047 hits, 7 favorites, and 12 story alerts. That may not be much to some who have been writing for a while, but it means a lot to me! This is my first fan fiction, so it means a lot.
Puppycat-I'd really like to tell you, but I don't want to spoil it! Thanks so much for saying I'm a good writer! That really means a lot. I've never been excellent at anything before. I'll try not to let it go to my head! BTW…thanks for adding my story to your favorites list. That means a lot. Continue to read and review my story.
Soubi202-Thanks! Making people cry was NOT my goal but I'm glad that you like this story! By the way…I saw that you added my story to your favorites! Thanks so much for that. Yeah, I noticed my spelling of "starred". I'm a horrible speller; just ask any of my friends. I rely on spell and grammar check for a lot of my story, but don't tell anyone! Especially lonesome-gumby! I got so much praise from lonesome-gumby about my grammar, that I'm sure that I won't be held high on a pedestal anymore. Ha ha. Listen to be babble on about not telling anyone! They can just read it on here. I'm such a dumb blonde. Oh well. Please continue your quest in correcting me. Listen to me! I sound so stupid. "Continue your quest." I'm such a dork.
Chicagonebananas-Thank you for all your praise. After I saw your review, I went through and reread my chapter. You're right. I never really used her full name. I'm just so used to saying Steph all the time. I have a friend named Stephanie and she HATES being called by her full name. So we call her Steph all the time. I'll really try to work on that. I didn't do it so much in the earlier chapters, but now that I'm getting into the story, I do it all the time. Well, anyway…. thanks for the reviews. I'm glad that you enjoy the story. Feel free to suggest anything any time.
Tootierulez-Thanks for the review. I really don't know why I made the kids the way I did. Just for the sake of the story I guess. Anyway….Thanks for the review!
XOLOVEMEOX-Thanks for your praise! I'm glad you like the story. Keep on reading!
Ihavealife2uknow-Thanks for the praise! I know that Stephanie was represented (on the show) as just an extra kid so I wanted to make it known that she is her own person and she is just as important as Michelle.
Hermione-Hermyown-Thanks for the praise. Wow, I didn't know I was doing all that! I've been having trouble sleeping for the past few months, so to try to make myself go to sleep, I would make up stories. This was one of the stories. I didn't know that it was this good! It wasn't my goal to make people cry though, but I'm glad my story has that sort of impact. Its good to know that people think I'm a good writer, considering I'm only fifteen years old.
Thanks again for all the reviews. It means a lot to me!
I don't think that this chapter will be as good, but you tell me. It seems a little off I think, but what do I know!
Here is chapter 5:
Chapter 5: The News
RING, RING, RING, RIINNNGGG!
The blaring of the phone woke up Danny Tanner. He blindly reached over to his phone on his nightstand.
"Hello?" he asked sleepily.
"Mr. Tanner?" the voice on the phone asked.
"Yes, this is him," Danny said as he looked over at the clock. 12:34 AM. He thought. What does someone want in the middle of the night?
"This is Nurse Williams," the voice said. "Your daughter, Stephanie, has been involved in a hit and run accident. We have her here at the San Francisco General Hospital and she is about to go into surgery. We wanted to let you know."
"Oh my god!" Danny cried as he sprung straight up in his bed. "I'll be right there!"
Danny frantically hung up the phone and pulled on a different shirt and pants. He then put on his shoes and socks and began to wake up everyone. He first went to Joey's
room--the closest to his.
"Joey!" Danny cried as he ran into the small room.
"What? What's going on?" Joey asked as he looked at his clock by his bed. "Danny, its 12:39 in the morning. What is going on?"
"Its Steph," Danny answered quickly as he went to Joey's bed. "Joey, she's been in an accident." Danny looked at Joey's shocked face and then watched Joey jolt up and get his clothes on.
"I'll go tell the girls and get them ready. You tell Jesse and Becky," Joey said in response to the news.
"Alright," Danny answered as he left the room and went up to Jesse and Rebecca's apartment. It was really an attic, but they remodeled it a couple of years ago to make a living space for Jesse and his new family.
Danny knocked on the door and waited. He then knocked again and heard a noise that he thought was from Jesse getting up. He waited as Jesse slowly opened the door. He looked very tired and silly with his hair sticking up.
"What?" Jesse demanded as he looked at his brother-in-law angrily.
Danny went passed Jesse and walked in the room and up the steps into their main room.
"Jesse, Becky," Danny said as he looked from his brother-in-law to his co-worker. "Steph, she…was in an accident. Its not good."
Danny looked at Jesse's face. First it went to anger, then to surprise, then to a glum look, and then to a sorrowful look. He was totally shocked. Jesse was still very angry with Stephanie for not paying attention to his children, but now he regretted everything. He remembered his angry words:
"I can't believe how careless you are! I really don't want to even see you right now! Leave! NOW! Get OUT of my studio!"
He felt like he had just been socked in the stomach. He was horrified at how cruel he was to her. He suddenly felt guilty about everything. Jesse was so upset.
"Are you sure?" Jesse asked sorrowfully knowing that Danny would never lie about this.
"Yes," Danny replied slowly. Then he quietly added, "I'm positive."
"What is being done for her?" Becky asked Danny.
"I don't know. All I know is that she is going into surgery."
They all looked solemnly at the floor. Danny then said, "I have to leave now."
"I'm going with you Danny," Jesse said quickly.
Danny looked at him and said, "Are you sure, Jesse?"
"Yes. She is my niece and I want to see her and to t-tell her how…." He paused for a second and then completed, "how sorry I am."
Danny looked at him and motioned for him to come along. Jesse glanced at Becky and gave her a pleading look for her to stay behind. She nodded as if to say that she would stay here and wait. Jesse then turned and followed Danny down the stairs and out to their family room where they met Joey and the girls. D. J. was on the verge of tears as she was tightly hugging a sobbing Michelle. Joey looked blank. He was just standing there looking as if he didn't know what to do next. Danny directed them to the door and went out to the street where their cars where. They got into the car and drove towards the San Francisco General Hospital.
