A/N: So this is a continuation to the last one. There may be a random order as the stories continue. Enjoy!
It w
as 10 in the morning when they had started moving and they had only just finished. It was 9 at night when Stephanie called for a delivery of Chinese food, and the family relaxed for the first time all day. Everyone needed a shower, but no one could decide who should go first.
"Max needs to shower first since his bedtime has already passed and you all have school tomorrow. Come on sweetheart." DJ walked a sleepy Max up the stairs. The young boy hadn't yet mastered the art of turning the water to a perfect temperature, and his mother would often help, especially in times when he was tired.
"Ramona can go next. The longer I wait, the later I can go to sleep." Jackson decided.
"Kimmy decided that this would be a good time for her to go, as she wanted her hair dry before going to bed.
DJ came down the stairs as Kimmy was going up, telling her not to waste all the hot water.
Stephanie, who was still finishing her rice, made her view known, "I call all my showers from now on at night!"
"I call mornings!" Ramona called.
"Me too!" came from DJ.

Once almost everyone was showered, they all went to their own (and for some of them, new) bedrooms. Stephanie was still up after everyone else, as DJ had bathed Tommy before her own shower. Stephanie rocked her youngest nephew to sleep with the sound of water in the background.
Once her sister came out, fully dressed in her pajamas, she left, going to the linen closet beside her old bedroom, grabbed two towels, and went for her own shower. Stephanie cleaned off the makeup that adorned her face and turned on the water to hot, letting it soak her tired body. Once she was finished, she flipped her hair, wrapped a white towel around it, and then wrapped a fluffy, blue towel around her body. She brushed her teeth, and headed to her room. As she came out of the bathroom, she realized how her sister's bed was in the open; that for the next few years, every time she walked out of the bathroom, she would be walking into her sister's room. Stopping on the second floor to grab a second white towel, she went to the basement and changed into her pajamas, putting the dry towel on her pillow, and went to bed. Stephanie spent a few minutes thinking about how to solve the issue of her sister's living situation, before sleep overtook her tired person.

"Wake up Aunt Steph! It's Monday and you have to take me to school!" Max had decided that her warning from the previous morning had not been enough, and was again jumping on her bed to wake her up.
Stephanie slowly got out of bed and grabbed the boy around his middle, carrying him up the stairs on her shoulder. They sat down for bacon and eggs, curtesy of DJ Fuller, and ate their meal with the family. Stephanie went to change into some comfortable, yet stylish, clothes, and did her makeup. By the time she got back upstairs, Max was dressed and tying his shoes. DJ was putting Tommy in his stroller, and Jackson, Ramona, and Kimmy had already left in Kimmy's car. Stephanie walked Max to school with Tommy in tow, and waited for him to go inside before returning home for her babysitting duty.
When Tommy was napping, Stephanie went on her Facebook, looking up an old acquaintance who had friended her a few years prior. Just as she hoped, he had his phone number on his profile and she sent him a text.
Charles now owned a construction company, and Stephanie hoped he could put up a wall and door in the attic, creating a hallway to separate DJ's room from the bathroom and Tommy's room. He accepted the job straight away, but he wanted to do it on the weekend, free of charge, as a thank you to Stephanie for helping him as a child.

Charles came over on Tuesday, after work, and went to see what he would be dealing with. He spent the day with Stephanie, and she gave her old school frenemy a tour of the house. He suggested that it would be nice to build a half-bathroom on the first floor, by the laundry room. This would add a third toilet for people to do their business when the bathrooms were occupied by shower takers.
When Saturday came, so did Charles, who put up a wall, a door opposite Tommy's door, and a smaller door at the end of the new hallway, with some shelves, which would become a second linen closet. He worked on this project for a few days, coming after his work, and having dinner with the family. He then started the half bath, although it would take longer to finish.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed a throw back to Charles. He was the kid who was abused and was taken away when Uncle Jessie called the police.
Also, I used the layout from Full House for Tommy's new room. It was on the left next to the bathroom, and bigger than it was depicted in Fuller House.
