Magnet and Steel

August 9, 2004

Stevie was in fact showing at fourteen weeks and when she and Lindsey walked up to Loretta, Stevie was wearing a very tight white teeshirt with a black and white chiffon kimono over her shoulders and her baby bump was clearly on display. 

"What did you do?" Loretta questions.

"We got pregnant." Stevie shrugs.

"Again?" 

"is that a shock?" Stevie questions.

"I just figured you'd wait a while." Loretta shrugs.

"So did I, but they happened and we love them so much." Lindsey coos patting Stevie's belly lightly. 

"Brad and Kim today...Brad runs a daddy daycare." Loretta hands them the files. 

"Huh, If real estate doesn't work out for you, you could run daddy daycare." Stevie pats Lindsey's chest as he rolls his eyes and opens the door to the restaurant for her. 

They walk up to the couple and Stevie holds her hand out first. "Hi, it's nice to meet you, I'm Stevie Nicks." 

"Kim Jefferies this is my husband Brad." The woman smiles 

"Lindsey Buckingham, it's nice to meet you." He pulls out Stevie's chair for her.

"So I understand that space is at a premium, I totally understand the issue so what can I do, to get you to stay in your home?" 

"We need a separate space for the Daycare. An open concept main floor, insulate the mudroom, add a second bathroom, convert playroom into a bedroom, and we need to expand storage in the masterbedroom." Kim tells her.

"Quite a list." Stevie sighs.

"Good Luck." Kim states.

"It sounds like you have chaos going on right now which is no good for anyone so you need to leave. And to get you to leave what do I have to do for you?" 

"It needs to be move-in ready, it has to have four bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and open concept layout, separate daycare space, a large backyard with parking, and it needs to be in the current neighborhood." 

"God, everyone wants to stay in the same neighborhood." Lindsey sighs.

"You would think that three years in he'd know this by now. I'm going to control your chaos and then I'm going to make you love it." Stevie sighs.

"Agh no, I'm going to remove the chaos from your life and I'm going to find you another house." Lindsey states.

Walking into the house Stevie sighs because she knew what Lindsey was going to stay. 

"No front closet and it's tight." he states.

"Yep, you're learning." She nods. 

"Alright so this is the daycare space in the house." Lindsey sighs.

"Not necessarily this is the living room." Stevie shakes her head.

"Look around Stephanie, it looks like a daycare space. Our living room doesn't look like this." Lindsey points out.

"Our son is only ten months old." She says.

"This looks like a daycare space there are toys everywhere and this is why she wants to leave it clearly doesn't work." Lindsey tells her

"I will make it work." 

"Good luck." 

"I like this dining room, it's nice and open." Stevie smiles.
