the sound of the door opening caught your attention, and there stood Danny, grinning as he took in the scene. you, DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle were all bundled up on the couch, engrossed in a movie playing on the big-screen TV.

“caught you,” danny said, his voice tinged with amusement.

the girls burst into giggles and scrambled to their feet, darting up the stairs to their respective rooms. Danny lingered for a moment, his eyes meeting yours with a playful smile. “I’ll deal with you after I get them all tucked in,” he said before heading upstairs.

You had been babysitting the Tanner kids for as long as you could remember. What started as a simple college gig to make some extra money had turned into a weekend ritual, even after you graduated. The kids were a joy, no doubt, but they weren’t the only reason you kept coming back.

No, it was him.

Over the years, your connection with Danny had evolved into something deeper. While you’d formed a solid friendship with Joey and Jesse, there was an undeniable chemistry between you and Danny—something unspoken but palpable.

After ensuring each of his daughters was tucked in and kissed goodnight, Danny made his way back downstairs. He stopped in his tracks as he spotted you tiptoeing toward the front door, clearly trying to make an escape after bending his rules by letting the girls stay up late.

“Not so fast, troublemaker,” Danny called out, laughing as he descended the stairs. Before he could even reach you, you backed away, retreating toward the kitchen in an attempt to avoid his playful interrogation. But Danny wasn’t about to let you off the hook.

He followed you with quick steps, his hands catching your waist as he lifted you effortlessly onto the counter. His arms caged you in, palms planted firmly on either side of you. His eyes danced with teasing amusement as he leaned in, the space between you shrinking.

“Care to explain yourself?” he asked, his voice low and enticing, his smile never fading.
