From the time he was five, Jimmy never like felt he belonged in the Stewart family. He had three siblings, two older and one younger. Everyday when he dressed jimmy ran a large blue comb through his mop of blonde hair and his smiling blue eyes stared back at him. However whenever he stood next to his siblings he felt small. His older brother Kris and him shared a room and when he stood in front of the mirror Kris ran a hair pick through his naturally curly blonde hair all the while his bright green eyes shone. When he stood next to jimmy he seemed like a giant. Jimmy’s sisters Caitlin and Cassandra also shared a bedroom and sometimes jimmy hid in the closet. From his vantage point in the closet he spied how Caitlin’s brown hair shone when she brushed her hair and her gray eyes seemed elusive to him. Cassandra had short blonde hair that she loved to curl but her brown eyes gave not hint of love. Was Caitlin and Cassandra stood next to each other Cassandra seemed tower above her sister.
Everyday Jimmy was insulted especially about his skin color. Kris called him paleface at least twice a day. Because he was teased jimmy decided to run away. He realized his family doesn’t want him and Jimmy doesn’t want his family either ergo he ran to his neighbors house. Mrs. Toney was surprised to him on her front porch.
“ Jimmy begged her not to call his parents.”
However Mrs. Toney had to call Mrs. Stewart. After Mr. and Mrs. Toney talked with Mrs. Stewart, they found out she was looking a foster home for Jimmy. Averil Toney asked Stella why she needed a foster home for Jimmy.

A boy came down the hall and the boy looked exactly like jimmy and he couldn’t figure out why. He stopped short and stared at him. He realized this was the boy whom always beat him up. Jonathan Toney looked at Jimmy Stewart in surprise, as he looked at him it was like seeing himself in the mirror. At that moment Marwin and Averil walked into the foyer and step back in shock as they exchanged glances.
Averil called Stella back into the study to tell her that they will foster Jimmy for them. Stella profusely thanked Averil and Marwin as they took in Jimmy into thier home. As she left Stella smiled sinisterly.
“Stella called back to Averil that she will draw up the necessary paper work”, then she thought to herself that damn bitch fell for the whole thing. As she Snickered Stella went home to her husband Kyle. Once at home Stella told Kyle of her victory with Averil, then her and Kyle high five each other as they thought fools.
The next day Stella came over with the necessary papers that signed over hers and Kyle’s parental rights to Averil and Marwin. As Averil stood over the table lamp the light made her silky, golden blond hair shine. Her skin color looked like light tea and her hazel green eyes shine bright when she smiles. He was taller than his wife by four inches Over His smoky brown eyes he wore glasses and he had the most gorgeous curly brown hair that Averil loved to run her hands through. his dark chocolate skin shinned as he showered.

After school that same day Jimmy went to his old home and found out his parents changed the locks He sighed and headed to the Toney house where he now lived. At 527 Charleston Place Mrs. Toney is annoyed Jimmy was late getting home.
Jimmy yelled at his new foster mom “I got detention Okay?”
Averil yelled back “No it’s not ok you got detention Jimmy you dumb kid”. Averil quickly apologized to Jimmy but he ran off to the guest bedroom crying.
Upon having heard Jimmy crying Averil went to his room. Averil knocked and slowly creaked the door open and said “Jimmy do you want to talk about it.” As he sobbed Jimmy nodded at Averil. He wiped his face with the back of his sleeve and cleared his throat.
“From the time I was five I knew the Stewarts adopted me. At the same time they started placing me into foster care. Within a month my new family would return me to my parents. I hated every foster home I was in. I’ve been in 20 different foster homes yours being number 20. The sad part is I don’t even want to go back to my parents.”
“Averil then asked why were you in 19 foster homes before coming here.”
“ WellJimmy said I didn’t like any of the other foster homes”.
“ Why not Averil asked?’
“ Mostly because they had all these damn rules and partly because I didn’t like them. I’m nine and I want to find my real parents, but what can a nine year old do.
“So Averil says Marwin and I will help you find your real parents. “
Averil began the search at home the next morning because she’s on maternity leave. She began with the hospital where Jimmy was born: He was born in Catholic Memorial Hospital on June 1, 1983 and adopted by Kyle and Stella Stewart on June 3, 1983. Averil wondered why that last part is italicized. Her search took her to the hospital on March 1, 1993 and there she interviewed the hospital coordinator. Averil’s interview turned up a dead end since the hospital doesn’t have records that go back ten years because of a fire in the old maternity wing. She found out that all the records from 1983 or before was destroyed. All the records they have are from 1984 or later. The Catholic Memorial Hospital coordinator told Averil to check with the state of California and see with what they can come up with. After lunch at the Cranberry Juice Restaurant she headed for Municipal of Fresno to see if they had records of Jimmy’s birth parents.

cassie30 · 05-03-2008, 06:43 PM

The search at the municipal of Fresno was fruitless. They had no record of an adoption of Jimmy John Stewart. The only thing they had record that dated back to June 1, 1983 was the death of Timothy James Toney. The only other record they had was the birth of a baby boy named Charles John Stewart also born on June 1, 1983. However they also said that Charles John Stewart was registered by the city Fresno as dead on June 1, 1983. Averil thanks Mrs. Joan Johnson for her help. As she left the municipal offices she thought s that it was strange that they have no record of an adoption of a boy on June 3, 1983 who would be Jimmy’s age but have a record of a birth of Jonathan Jacob, timothy James, and William Robert Toney. One other stood out to Averil and that was the reported death of Charles John and Romeo Carlin Stewart on June 1, 1983.
So when Averil gave birth to triplets on June 1, 1983 and Stella’s sons were still born that’s when Stella saw her opportunity to make Averil pay. Since Charles John and Romeo Carlin Stewart were still born and Timothy James and William Robert Toney lived Stella hatched her plan to steal them from Averil. Step one go to the maternity ward two days after the birth and claim Timothy and William Toney is Charles John and Romeo Carlin and leave the hospital with them. Step two if the nurses gave her a hard time she claimed they are mistaken and it’s really Timothy and William that that were still born. Step three she left the hospital with them and changed their names to Jimmy John and Kristopher James Stewart. Step four she pretended to adopt them. Step five when they asked why their s so different from hirer other three siblings they told they were adopted so they don’t suspect that they were stolen from their parents at birth.
After Jimmy had been in 19 foster homes Stella and Kyle couldn’t take his bad behavior any more. Therefore without remorse for what they done they planned to give Jimmy and Kris back to their birth parents. As the search continued Marwin stumbled on a lead. He found the name of the nurse that delivered Jonathan, Timothy William, Romeo and Charles on June 1, 1983. Her name was Melissa Addams and she is believed to live at 75 Adams Lane in Los Angles, California. After work on March 5, 1993 Marwin went to 75 Adams Lane. He slowly walked up the driveway with great trepidation in his mind. Once on the front porch he rang the doorbell and waited. A few moments later a young woman yanked opened the door at the and asked, “May I help you”?

cassie30 · 05-03-2008, 06:44 PM

Marwin swallowed hard and then found his voice. He said “I know you don’t know me but is Melissa Addams home” The young woman began to cry. “I’m sorry said Marwin have I said something wrong I don’t mean to upset you miss”.
She cleared throat and said “Sorry but my grandmother Melissa Addams has passed away a year ago today she left the house to me.” As she noticed Marwin’s disappointment she invited him into her house. She then introduced herself as Sue Marie Addams.
He said, “I am Marwin Toney.” Marwin then told her that he and his wife Averil were looking for the birth parents of their foster son Jimmy John Stewart and he was adopted on June 3, 1983.
Oh said Sue I’m sorry I can’t help you.
Marwin thanked her and took his leave and he apologized for intruding on her. “Sue said it wasn’t a bother at all.”
Marwin headed home and told Averil of his adventure, another dead end for them. On March 7, 1993 they told Jimmy that they wanted to adopt him. He is shocked that they wanted to adopt him.
On March 7, 1994 they adopted Jimmy John Stewart at the age of 10 and changed his name to Jimmy John Stewart Toney. He was happy now that he had a family of his own. Though Jimmy still got into trouble from time to time, he now knew that he’d always have a home with the Toney’s. On March 7, 1994 Jimmy gained six brothers one older and five younger. They are Jonathan Jacob, Shane Michael, Peter James, Michael Matthew, Christopher Dane, and Romeo Carlin. Shane, peter, and Michael are triplets who were going to be nine on April 5, 1994. Christopher and Romeo are identical twins that were one on march 5,1994. They were born on March 5; 1993.The Toney’s hired a Private Investigator that helped them in their search for Jimmy’s birth parents. The Private Investigator found out that that Marwin and Averil are Jimmy’s parents but hasn’t told them yet.
As he dug deep into Jimmy’s past he stumbled on a cover up and a theft. One by one the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. They celebrated the adoption of Jimmy Averil threw a welcome to the family party for him. So on Saturday March 10, 1994 the Toney family, the March family and the Stewart family all celebrated as jimmy joined the Toney family.
Stella said to Kyle “the nerve of that bitch, she invited us to a party that involved that dumb kid.”
Kyle warned Stella to keep her voice down.
“Why are we here Kyle you knew I hate Averil.”
“You knew damn well we are here because I loved Averil you stupid bitch.”
“How dare you call me a stupid bitch?”
As he glared Stella Kyle said, “If it weren’t for you I could have been married to Averil. Damn bitch this your entire fault.”
Just then Averil walked over to Stella and Kyle and said, “How is everything?”
“Fine they said”.
Stella stormed at Kyle “why did you love that damn bitch”.
As still glared at Stella he said, “Because she was everything your not”. She stormed out and left him as he stood there.
As the party progressed Jimmy never felt so loved in his life. He also never received so many gifts. His parents never threw him a birthday party or even gave him a Christmas presents. They gave their biological kids presents but not the adopted one.
At this point he decided to approach Mrs. Toney and asked her “if it’s all right to call her mom.”
She beamed and said “I would love it if you called me mom oh my goodness”. For the first time in his life he smiled.
Day after day, the Private Investigator gathered more and more proof that the Toney’s wee Jimmy and Kris’s biological parents. First, he’d found the adoption of them hadn’t been registered. Second, they looked so much like Jonathan they could have been triplets. Thirdly, the death of Charles John Stewart and Romeo Carlin was registered along with the death of Timothy James Toney. It all seemed to make sense to Mr. Peter Paul. Oh one other thing seemed to fit the Stewarts hated the Toney’s. Well at least Stella did. What Peter can’t figure out why Stella hated the Toney’s? He hated lying to the Toney’s but he wanted to make sure the facts added up before he told them they should have DNA test that proved they were Timothy and William. When he did the Toney’s decided to confront the Stewarts.

cassie30 · 05-03-2008, 06:44 PM

The Stewarts found out that the Toney’s have hired a Private Investigator worried Stella asked Kyle “ what are we going to do about this latest development.”
“Simply put he said nothing”
“ What do you mean nothing she yelled at him?”
“ Just that dear”.
“How could you be so damn calm when our lives just fell apart?”
“ Because bitch I told you ten and half years ago we shouldn’t take Timothy. But no you had to have the babies you lost in birth.”
“ How dare you make this all about me you asshole?”
“ It’s always been about you Stella from the day you stepped in Averil’s way from asking me to the Sadie’s Hawkins dance. “
That bitch doesn’t deserve to live yet you worshiped her from afar. Why can’t you worship me the same way you worship her.”?
“To put it simply I never loved you and I will never love you. All I had for you was pity.”
“ Pity, Pity what the fuck do I need your pity for.”
“I had pity for you because you never forgiven her for the death of your bother. You’ve hated her since Jim Bob died while on date with her.”
“ That bitch should have used the Heimlich maneuver to save his life. You knew damn well she didn’t know how to do that and besides the restaurant was crowded anyone could helped your brother.”
“Well I felt if they hadn’t dated he would still be alive.”
“She’s suffered to you know.”
“Averil suffered what a joke”. Just then Kris walked into the room crying.
“As they looked at Kris they stopped the fight for the moment.
‘What’s wrong Kris honey she asked?”
“ You and dad were a lot fighting these days and it hurted me so much.”
“Oh honey she said there is no needing worry about grownup things”
“Mom I’m 14 and I’m not stupid. I knew about how you stole jimmy and I from our birth mother. When I was nine I read your dairy and found your plan.”
Why did you read my diary Kris, as she raised her hand to slap and then she stopped short.”?
“ Because mom I knew there was something different about jimmy and I. I saw he looked like me and he didn’t look like our sisters.”
“ Oh you little sneak you had me fooled when did you become such a great actor.
“ When I was nine and half years old mom”
“What are we going to when we are caught in this scheme?”
“ Nothing he said” “But anticipate going to jail and lose our kids to the system.” As she began to bawl, Stella asked, “What do you mean the system”
Well he said “My family disinherited me when I married you and all of your family is dead”
“Kyle, what do you mean my family is dead? I heard from my sister Maria Jean Calvin”
“With the exception of your sister Maria, who just married Charles Calvin, they are dead to you.”
“Come on.” “Explain what you mean, Damn it.”
“Stella your mom and Dad disinherited you the day you told them what you had planned for Averil and because of that no one in either family is willing to take care of our children.”
“That can’t be Kyle what about Maria.”
“ Maria called you from a mental hospital that her husband put her in because she tried to kill herself. Just like Charles, Jim Bob, and your sister Sally.”
“ What do you mean Jim Bob committed suicide he was on a date with that bitch Averil?”
“That’s true Stella but before he decided to end his life while on the date with Averil and wrote a note to your parents. Your parents gave me the note the day we married here it is and it reads”:
Dear Mom and Dad,
As of June 7, 1969 I am going on a date with my one true love Averil March to force myself to choke to death so I don’t have to deal with my younger sister Stella and her schemes any more. Even though I know Averil will try to help me I am going to stop her. I am so sorry I have to do this.
Your loving child,
Jim Bob
Jim Bob

Stella cried as she read her brothers’ meticulous handwriting. “Why Jim Bob why did you do that I adored you.”
“You may have adored him Stella but he didn’t adore you.”
Stunned she ran off to the master bedroom to cried.
The year is 1996 and Jimmy is 13 almost 14 years old. The Private Investigator finally decided he had enough proof to prove Jimmy is Timothy and Kris is William. Armed with his proof on March 9, 1996 at 10:00 a.m., he called on Mrs. Toney at home. Shocked into disbelief Mrs. Toney said who would such a thing and how can this be proved. Peter Paul suggested to Mrs. Toney, Jonathan, Kris, and Jimmy have DNA test done to prove they were really Timothy and William. Secondly, he showed her proof that Mr. & Mrs. Kyle Stewart was behind the scheme. In utter disbelief Mrs. Toney asked why Kyle and Stella would do such a thing.
Well said Peter “Stella believed you killed Jim Bob back in 1969.
“Why that’s preposterous said Averil.”
Later that day Averil told Marwin of what she learned. Dismayed Marwin suggested that they talk to the Stewarts with the aid of police. As they approached Kyle and Stella started to run but are caught by an officer.
Stella yelled, “Let me go you son of a bitch.”
Officer Ibeamaka Obote said, “Calm down lady.” Stella calmed down and they went into the Stewart house. Once inside Kris Stewart ran up to Averil, hugged her, and called her mom. Nice to see you to Kris but I’m not your mom, am I Stella.
Well-said Stella “I stole Kris from you too.”
“Why would you do that me Stella?”
“ I’ve hated you since the day Jim Bob died.”
“ Oh Stella we grew up together you’ve have known better than that. Kris how did you know I was your mom”.
Easy said Kris “I just looked at you, dad, and then in the mirror”.
“Oh dear now we have to prove Jimmy was timothy and Kris was William.
The officers arrested Stella and Kyle. He asked Averil to please adopt their kids. Stella glared at Kyle. Officer Ibeamaka Obote hulled them off to jail, but not before Averil promised to take in the girls as their own. The DNA test proved that Marwin and Averil are Kris’s and Jimmy’s mom and dad. The DNA and further test proved that Kris who thought he was 16 is actually 13 and a triplet of Timothy and Jonathan. Further test showed that Jonathan was five minutes older than Timothy who was two minutes older than Kris. So armed with this information and the arrest of the Stewarts some changes were made. One, Jimmy’s named was changed to Timothy James Toney. Two, Kris’s name was changed to William Robert Toney. Kris’s former sisters are adopted by the Toney’s they get to keep Caitlin Marie and Cassandra June but Stewart is dropped and Toney is added. Finally even though the case is 13 years old the Stewarts are found guilty and are sent to jail. The new Toney family lived happily ever after.
