Stephanie - Part III - THE END

Stephanie- Part II

"Dad wasnt able to make it Steph ..he.."
"Why,... I want daddy.. !!! "
"Now now.. whats this coming from the eyes ...I know that you dont cry .."
"I'm not crying.." "Dont you want this??"
"Iceeee cream..........Thank you uncle!!"
"Hmm now thats a good girl.. come lets go see your small little sister..."
"WHAT""Yes!! you have become the big sister now..and dad is in the hospital with them! we will just meet them in a few minutes."

Steph surely had not expected the "new arrival" so soon. She was shocked and looked quite perplexed.
The sky looked gloomy in gray colored suit.Steph was peeping through the car window. She saw kids of her age playing in a park. Big boys were playing some game with a ball.
"The game which dad sees in TV" thought Steph.
They crossed another small park and Steph saw a little girl shorter than herself, pushing something very big. The girl was smiling and looked contended; she was wearing a white frock with frills.
"What long hair..like Rapunzel.." Steph wondered before turning her attention to what the girl was pushing.Below was a blue pram inside which a small baby ,nearly the size of her mom's hand,was lying down amidst a huge chunk of soft pillows and teddys.

They were nearing them now and Steph could hear the girl tell.
"My sweet little sister..when are you going to call my name.. "
"Here hold my finger.."
she said & the baby grabbed her thumb and gave a cute lazy smile.

"Ahem..a long wait in the signal huh Steph.."
"Lets speed up now"

That was uncle George whose words jolted Steph back to her car.
"Uncle George..!!"
"Yes sweetheart.."
"Did you see it..??"
"It??Oh the baby yes just had a look.. & she looks sweet just like you "
Steph smiled for the first time since morning.

"Will she hold my finger if I give her.. "
"Hmm will she not love to do that to her big sister??"
"Go fast uncle I want to see her soon"

"Hey Steph!!Wait for me" that was Michelle,her best friend.
"Michelle you have a bike...!!!!"
She looked at Michelle.She was trying to park her bike.Her small lovely curls danced in her dark skin.She had a polka dotted bag with " This bag belongs to Michelle Derkins" written on top of it. She smiled at Steph.

"Michelle looks happy with her new bike" thought Steph,"atleast she neednt worry about sharing it with anyone."

"So Michelle..!!you have a new bike.."
"No.. thats my sis"
"Oh.. "
"Yeah my elder sis..she is grown up now & doesnt need it anymore..thats what dad told"
"But..dont you need a new one ??"
"Nah...I'm..hey I hear the bell..lets rush "

Steph was lost in her wonderland like Alice(in wonderland).She was fidgeting in her seat.

"My name is Stephanie Tanner "
"Now isnt that the shortest introduction we have ever heard Ms Tanner.. Ok...next..."
That was Miss Velma -the prettiest teacher of her school. She was wearing a knee length pleated skirt .Her hair was short and blonde.Steph always thought she looked like her mom. But definitely not today.
"Miss Velma's stomach doesnt look like Santa" she grumbled .

"Did you tell me something Steph..."
"Hmm .. no .. we are having someone new in our house"
"Oh.. dont tell me that its a pet dog..mom is not allowing me to keep one.."
"Err..No Michelle.. I will be having a younger sister or brother soon.."
"Oh that's lovely Steph !!you could boss around her whole day.."
"Boss around her.. !!!!!"
"Yes!Like my sister.."
"Oh does she??! "
"Yes!! and she gets to do all the things first! Can you believe she gets a very big room and I'm left with the smallest room of the house.."
"That looks bad..."
"Yes thats the advantage of being a nosy sister.."
"So do you like her at all.."
"Hmm let me think..I do like her... because she makes me these little chocolate cookies..see wanna bite.. yummy.."
"Oh..no thanks"
"Hey ..last night mom got a teddy from someone and I happened to keep that ..and I've named him Browny.. wait till I show you.." "Ok Steph see ya.. "
"Bye.. "

Steph waved at Michelle and stood pondering over the conversation.She looked confused.
"Being a big sister might be fun afterall " she thought.
"But I dont want to lose things like Mr Browny"

She saw her car coming and just hoped that her dad would clarify all her doubts.
"Hey Steph.."
"Now thats not dad's voice "
"Uncle George..!!where is dad?!"

Stephanie-Part I

It was a bright sunny morning and the birds were chirping merrily.

Stephanie was wearing a navy blue color pinafore and a white collared shirt.Her small golden hair was parted & made into two ponytails. Her back was loaded with a pink school bag and it had a big barbie smiling in style.Stephanie liked to be called as Steph with a big emphasis in the last syllable.She was the complete picture of a class second kid waiting for her school bus.

Steph looked angry and gross today. No, she was not like Calvin who hated the school. She was like Susie, studious ,smart and teacher's pet.
She was upset because her dad failed to keep up his promise. This was her first day after the big holidays and he promised to drop her at school.

"Sorry Stephanie..err.. Steph.." dad had started.
Somehow he was not able to come in terms with her shortened sweet name "Steph" .
"You do know that mommy is sick don't you dear??I will pick you up in the evening and we will grab an ice-cream??and aren't you eager to see the new face my girl.. ??"
Oh yes! New face.. new face!!

That's the only word she had been hearing since the day her mother became sick with a stomach like Santa.
"Steph dear..you will not be alone anymore..you will soon get a little baby brother or sister to play with. Wouldn't that be great??"
She remembered the first time her parents told about the new entrant.
"I want mommy.. " she had cried one day when her mom puked and refused to play with her.

"I hate this new thing into our house"
Steph murmured and hopped into the school bus.
(Little did she know that her dad would fail again and never be able to keep up his promise in the evening )
