thanks for all your great reviews for "me and you" i will try and keep that up to date but with joel coming back i really wanted to write another one!
Background - ronnie and danielle are reunited but danielle is still living with stacey, ronnie lives in the vic with roxy and amy - ronnie and danielle are trying to form a relationship as mother and daughter.
"wake up will you" danielle sighed as stacey was still fast asleep, she rocked her slightly before giving her a large push "oii" stacey huffed before sitting up "cant you open up today" she ran her fingers through her knotted hair "i have done for the past week, you cant rely on me every morning, its not even my stall" she shook her head "i'll work till ten, im meeting ronnie for breakfast so dont be late" stacey grunted before turning back around "cheers babe" she yawned, danielle grinned weakly before leaving the room to start work.
"danielle is on the stall again" she stated as she heard ronnie walking into the living room carrying amy "again? thats the fourth time this week, that stacey slater is really starting to take the mick out of her" she pouted as she walked over to the window to see her daughter smiling happerliy serving a customer "i've hardly seen her this week" she sighed "why dont you have a word, see whats going on? stacey might be ill?" roxy shrugged as she took amy from ronnies grip "hello baby" she cooed "did you keep mummy and aunty ronnie awake alllll night?" she teased "maybe not mummy but deffently aunty ronnie" ronnie turned to poke her neices stomache "it was aunty ronnie getting up wasnt it sweetie" she joked "i am still awake you know i just pretend coz then i know you will get up" roxy laughed "good, because i wont be hear forever you know" ronnie shook her head "i'll make the most of it then shall i? anyway where are you planning on going?" roxy placed amy in her baby chair "well you never know, danielle and i could get a place eventualy" she smiled "give it time ron, its only been a few months" "i know but i feel like we have come so far, i meen after everything that happend she still wants a realtionship with me and this family god help her" she laughed "just dont go to heavey on her yeah" ronnie smiled "i better get ready, im taking her for breakfast"
"hey sweetie" ronnie took danielle into a hug as she greeted her "no stacey again?" danielle shook her head "i tried to get her up this morning, but she wasnt having any of it, i said i would wait untill ten then thats it" "dont blame you, she cant expect you to cover for her, whats wrong with her anyway?" ronnie quizzed her "hungover, tired, still drunk? i dunno" she shrugged "not putting up with it for much longer, the market inspector has been on my back three times today already" ronnie stroked her arm "just say no from now on, then what will she do?" danielle rolled her eyes "play the friend card on me" she put on a moany voice "i was there for you when you needed me, i've given up my bedroom for you bla bla bla" ronnie giggled "well if you ever need a break, theres always the vic" "thanks, might just have to take you up on that, stacey forgets when she gets in at silly o clock that people are sleeping, this morning i got woken up too a really bad cover of what i think was some sort of celine dion song" danielle laughed "anyway shes only got ten minutes left" "and if she doesnt turn up" "dont you have any faith in me" stacey jumped in placing her money bag around her waist, wearing nothing that you could leave to the imagination "that was the last time stace, im not covering for you any more" danielle said bluntly at her "ohh come on its been a few mornings no big deal" danielle shook her head "thats not the point, if i wasnt hear what would you do then huh?" stacey smiled "why you being such a bitch? i thought we were friends dan" "we are, i just dont like being used" stacey scoffed "did she put you up too this" she looked at ronnie "it has nothing to do with ronnie, im telling you how i feel" she took off her money belt "i'll talk to you later" danielle looked at ronnie before the two of them walked off.
"i just cant belive her somtimes" danielle took a large sip of her coffee "its like i dont even exsist somtimes, you know i can be in the house and she can having the converstation with mo and charlie and i just feel ignored, i try and join in but i just get the impression somtimes that stace would prefer if i wasnt there, i know she hates sharing her bedroom too" she rolled her eyes "shes gonna be really off with me now, i shouldnt of said anything i should of just got on with it" ronnie shook her head "of course you should of, she cant just treat you like that, yes she helped you alot, she was a great friend at times but...you dont need her anymore, you have me" ronnie smiled as she took danielles hand "look i've been thinking, i want you to live with me, i know we have talked about it before but for me its like perfect timing your not happy at the slaters, im being kept up all night with little amy" she sighed "what do you say?" her eyes beamed with hope "you dont have to tell me straight away" she stated as she noticed danielles silence "where?" ronnie frowned "where?" "where would we live?" ronnie smiled "anywhere you want" "well i dont want to leave the sqaure and we have to be close to the club for you" she smiled "is that a yes then?" danielle grinned "i think so" ronnie took danielles hand and raised it to her lips to kiss her palm "in the meen time untill we find somewhere theres always the vic, thats if you want to get out of staceys way" danielle smiled "i'll have a chat with her tonight, knowing what staceys like she will just tell me to get out" "i better go tell roxy and aunty peg the news" ronnie grinned "you sure they will be ok with it" "of course, your family arnt you?" ronnie stood up and kissed danielles head, "i have to head down to the club quickly then i will go and tell them, come with me if you want?" danielle nooded as she followed ronnie out of the cafe.

"you see janine i dont like them playing happy familes specialy when im not involed, besides dont you think danielle has the right to know who her father is" janine licked her lips "you want this guy to come in and cause a rift between ronnie and danielle dont you" "not just a pretty face are you?" "and what if it backfires and it brings them closer?" "oh i dont think it will come to that" he grinned i'll keep in touch
