*this is purely inspired by the pic above. Guess what, guys? The cute guy? That's a young Will Estes, aka Jamie Reagan! I didn't believe it, either. So I had to look it up! Now I have to watch that shitty series finale of Full House again*.
Linda O'Shea has spent a year in California with her best friend and older sister, Wendy. There was a yearlong nurse convention-type thing that the blonde had signed up for. Today, she was sitting in the New York airport, awaiting her escort. A year had gone by fast, but she liked spending time with her sister.
"Linda!" Joe Reagan waved to her though the crowd of people. He was assigned to pick her up.
"Joe!" They greeted each other with a hug, "it's good to see you! You're looking good!"
"Thanks, so are you. How was California?"
"Hot. How are things here?"
"Good. Dad made Chief, Mom's doing great, Erin's kicking butt in law school, and Danny's on leave for two weeks. Rest and relaxation."
"He's here? That's great! How's he doing?"
"A little shaken and edgy, but you should've seen his face light up when we told him you were coming back."
Linda smiled as she buckled her seat belt, "Good. I'm glad everyone's okay. Whaddabout Jamie?"
"Oh. Jamie. He's got a girl."
"What? No way."
"Yes way. Stephanie is her name. She's kinda snarky. But they do everything together. Study, ride their bikes, hang out at the mall."
"That sounds adorable."
"Eh. She'll be over at the house. She always is. Like you were."
"That's cause your house was oddly quieter than mine."
**********
"I'm home!" Joe announced, knowing his siblings and mother would be home.
Mary came out of the kitchen, "hi, Linda! It's good to see you!" She hugged the blonde, "you look like you've got some sun!"
"Yeah, I did." Linda shrugged, "it's nice to see you, too. How're you?"
"Good. And you?"
"I'm good-"
"Linda!" Danny came bounding down the stairs, happy to see his girlfriend. He hugged her tightly, "I've missed you."
"I've missed you, too." She kissed his lips, causing Joe to silently make a gagging motion.
"Hi!" Erin walked through the front door, smiling widely.
Linda turned her head, arms still around Danny. "Hi. I hear you're kicking butt in law school."
"Well.. I don't like to brag... but yeah. I'm totally annihilating them."
"That's great! And what's this about Jamie having a girlfriend?"
"Stephanie. They hang out all the time." Danny explained, a protective arm around Linda.
"They're so cute!" Mary gushed, turning to the stairs. "Jamie! Come on down!"
"No thanks!" He yelled back.
"Linda's here!"
"Coming!"
Linda chuckled as Jamie came down the stairs, hand in hand with Stephanie. "Hey, Jamie. You've gotten big!"
Jamie only rolled his eyes, "you look like you've got some sun."
"Yeah, I did. But don't worry. One week of this New York winter weather, and I'll be as white as you guys." She furrowed her brow when Jamie didn't laugh. Something was different about this kid. "So, uh, who's your friend?"
"Stephanie." Pointing to Linda, he said, "that's my brother's girlfriend."
"Hey." Stephanie chewed her gum.
"Linda, I'm gonna make you a big, welcome home dinner. What do you like? Pasta?" Mary took her hand, "Come on."
Linda was led to the kitchen, Danny on her heels. "So... what's with Jamie?"
"He's moody," Danny took a seat at the island, grabbing a freshly baked cookie. "All cause of Stephanie."
"Ohhh, I see what's going on here." Linda also took a cookie, "Stephanie's one-a those 'over bearing, do-what-I-say, women power' chicks."
"Yup."
"I met a lotta those in California... I don't think Jamie will stick with Stephanie."
"He better not." Danny grumbled, adjusting himself in the stool.
Linda smiled, she was happy to be home. She knew Jamie wouldn't stay with Stephanie, but for the time being, it was kind of cute.
