Both women at this stage were on the floor holding each sobbing with tears of joy and happiness. When Stacey Slater came staggering around the corner still slightly drunk ,falling to the floor in a drunken state. This made Danielle jump; she lifted her head, looked over and then looked up to her mother and started laughing. Ronnie smiled down at her daughter and then kissed her on the forehead.

Danielle loosened her grip on her mother and took a hold of her hand, helping Ronnie to her feet.

"Well" Danielle said "We had best get this one back home she is a right state"

Ronnie and Danielle walked hand in hand over to Stacy, and pulled her up to her feet. Stacey was out of it even though ten minutes ago she seemed sober enough to answer the door to Ronnie and shout the odds at her.

Ronnie took a hold of Stacey at one side and Danielle at the other side, with their hands still locked together behind Stacey's back. They walked with her across the square until they heard a load of commotion coming from the Vic. It was Peggy she was screaming "Get out, everyone get out" with that everyone came pouring out of the Vic. Danielle looked across to Ronnie pulling a funny face. Ronnie pulled a face back and they both burst out laughing.

"Oi, what's going on, get your hands off of her" shouted Mo as she walked across the square

Ronnie and Danielle looked over in confusion and then back at each other smiling. "She passed out in the street we were just returning her." Said Ronnie, whilst trying not to laugh at Mo. "Yeah Ronnie was just helping me get her home" continued Danielle. Mo looked a bit confused after everything that had happened in the Vic earlier she was unsure to why these two and Stacey were all together.

"Well I will take her from here" Explained Mo as she searched the square for Jean and Charlie so they could help her with Stacey.

Danielle and Ronnie both stood giggling as they watch Mo and Charlie man- handle Stacy through the gate and into the house.

"Right well where do we go from here" Danielle finally asked " Can I" Danielle Paused " Can we be together just a bit more I don't think I could sleep if I went back to the Slater's now I just want to be with you." Danielle blurted out not sure of her mother's reaction. Danielle looked up at her mother for a response to see tears falling from her eyes. Ronnie smiled and then took a hold of Danielle's face "Of course it would break my heart to be apart from you already, I have only just got you back, you are not leaving my sight" she giggled holding her daughter close.

Danielle and Ronnie held each other and walked towards the Vic.

"Right, I just need to go in here and get my phone and my keys for the flat is that ok" Ronnie said as they approached the pavement. "Ermm they won't be mad with me will they" Danielle replied looking slightly worried. "No your family and if they have anything to say, they'll have me to deal with." Ronnie laughed.

Ronnie went to push open the door when Danielle reached forward and took a hold of her wrist to stop her. "What is it honey" Ronnie softly spoke. "What if granddad is in there, he will try to take me from you?" Danielle sobbed. Ronnie turned round with her back towards the door and held Danielle's face in her hands and she looked into her daughters eyes. "Sweetie that won't happen, he will have to get passed me and Aunty Roxy, Aunty Peg and Uncle Phil and after everything he has done I doubt he will be welcome in the Mitchell house for long, so try not to worry." Ronnie said as she tried to reassure her daughter that she would protect her. Danielle loosened her grip and then looked up at her mum. "Ok I trust you." She smiled.

Ronnie smiled at her daughter and wiped her tears from her face. Then turned and pushed the door open to the Vic.

Ronnie entered the Vic and Danielle closely followed hiding behind as they became exposed to Phil, Peggy and Roxy. Danielle was so scared she quickly grabbed a hold of Ronnie's hand but still kept herself hidden behind her.

"Right get out now, you heard get out." Phil shouted as he threw Archie out of the far door.

Peggy looked over at Ronnie and then ran off upstairs.

"It is alright I will go." Said Phil as he chased after his mother

Ronnie looked over at Roxy

"Hi, I have just come to get my keys and my stuff for the flat." Ronnie quietly spoke

"Oi, never mind that I think you two need a drink." Roxy commanded over the bar as she smiled at her sister and niece with tears in her eyes. Ronnie smiled at her sister and then looked back at Danielle who seemed to have relaxed a bit more.

Danielle came round to the side of Ronnie and wrapped her arms around her waist as they walked towards the bar.

"Right Rox I would like you to meet your niece this is Danielle my baby, my beautiful daughter." Ronnie stated proudly as they sat at the bar. Roxy laughed at her sister and then turned Danielle and lent over the bar wrapping one arm around her and kissing her on the head.

"Welcome to the mad house love." She giggled Danielle laughed at Roxy and then cuddled up to Ronnie as they talked about what had happened at the Vic with Archie and Peggy after Ronnie had left.

Ronnie looked over to see Danielle yawning and so they decided to make a move. Amy had started crying so Roxy went upstairs, leaving Ronnie and Danielle downstairs in the bar. "Right I will just go and get my stuff do you want to come." Ronnie asked looking at Danielle. "Oh I can just wait here a minute if you like I will sit right here" Danielle said whilst throwing herself onto the sofa. "Ok well, will just be a minute ok ." Ronnie said as she rushed up through the back.

"Rox have you seen my bag" Ronnie whispered as she searched through the living room and kitchen. "Yeah, Ron got it here." Roxy replied. Ronnie entered Roxy room watching her as she placed Amy back into her cot. "She just wanted her mummy" Ronnie whispered. Roxy looked up at her sister smiling and then approached her hugging her tightly. "What is this for?" Ronnie asked. "To say I am sorry for everything. I love you and I am over the moon that you have your baby girl back." Roxy replied. Ronnie pulled away and then looked at her sister stroked her hair and then kissed on the cheek "I love you." Ronnie whispered as her sister began to cry with happiness. "Oh look what you have gone and done my makeup is running." Roxy laughed as she wiped away her tears.

Ronnie and Roxy ran down stairs to find Danielle sprawled out on the sofa. She looked so peaceful and content
