Later when Danny came home, Joey, Jesse, and Janie were sitting on the couch, exhausted. There were dirty baby clothes everywhere.
"Hey guys, how'd it go today with - whoa! What happened? What's with all the dirty baby clothes?" Danny hated it when his house was a mess. Then the doorbell rang and Jesse got up to answer it.
"I'm sorry, but every time we fed her, she'd drool, or dribble, or spit up." Joey said. Jesse turned around for a moment and looked at Danny.
"Your baby's a pig." He said. Janie nodded in agreement from the couch. Jesse opened the door to reveal a woman.
"Hi, Jesse." She said, giving him a hug. Jesse hugged her back.
"Vanessa, have mercy. I thought you were supposed to go to the Philippines with Bob Hope." Janie looked at Vanessa.
"That's the girl that made you late this morning?" She asked, rather disgusted. Vanessa looked at Janie.
"Your the kid that Jesse left me for?" She asked in the same disgusted tone. Jesse held up his hands in a calming gesture to them.
"Alright girls, now you're both pretty. Now Vanessa, why are you not on your way to the airport?" Vanessa forgot about Janie and turned to Jesse.
"Oh, well, I am, but the airport's fogged in. So, is that offer to stay with you any time still good?" Jesse's face turned red.
"Oh, it's more than good. It's... uh... amazing!" Janie gagged from the couch as Stephanie entered.
"Hi, uncle Jesse. Ready for more ballerina?"Jesse's face got even more red.
"Uh... we'll play later, okay?" Stephanie wasn't taking that.
"Okay... it's later! Catch me!"she turned to run away, but Jesse caught her and lifted her up. "Ohh!" Jesse looked her right in the eye.
"Listen; why don't you go upstairs and play ballerina with your big sister." He told her as he set her back down. Stephanie shrugged.
"I can't. She moved out." All the adults and Janie looked at Stephanie, except for Vanessa, who was annoyed.
"Stephy, what do you mean, "She moved out"?" Janie asked her. Stephanie shrugged again.
"She's gone. She rolled up her crepe paper and took off." Jumped up from where he had sat down.
"Okay, everybody follow me." Everyone except Vanessa went straight to DJ and Stephanie's room, where indeed DJ was gone.
"You lost my daughter?" Danny yelled at Joey and Jesse. "I went to work for seven hours, and you lost twenty-five percent of my children? Joey, call the police. Jesse, start driving around our neighborhood. Janie, watch Stephanie. I'm gonna call up DJ's friends." Stephanie stood up and walked towards the door.
"And I'll go get DJ." Janie stopped her and turned her to face Danny.
"Stephanie, honey." He said.
"Yes, daddy?" She asked sweetly. Danny crouched down to her level.
"Sweetheart, do you know where DJ is?" Stephanie bobbed her head up and down.
"Uh-huh."
"Why didn't you say something sooner?" He asked her. She shrugged.
"Nobody asked me."
