3:00 Am
Albert square was quiet, every one still shocked by the nights events, Danielle was Ronnie's daughter, and suddenly she's in hospital, The Vic remained a mess, Roxy had texted Ronnie telling her she'll be at the hospital the next day but she had lost her phone early on so she couldn't check for a reply, Peggy had ordered the Vic to be cleaned of the terrible wedding, and Archie had left, no one wanted him here anymore. Archie ha d gone, Roxy placed her head in her hands, sitting alone at a table in the Vic where, hours ago she had sat feeling happy, proud of her Dad and Peggy, not anymore, Dad had lied, to Ronnie and to all of them, she sighed, it was 3:03 am, she hoped Danielle was alright, if anything happened to her, it would destroy her sister. Roxy always thought Danielle was a nice girl, the fact that she was her niece... Roxy sighed once more and got up to get some rest so she could visit Ronnie and Danielle tomorrow.
Ronnie had been asleep for a while now, lying with her head and arms on Danielle's body as she still lay in the bed.
3:46 am
Ronnie heard a groaning noise, she was beginning to wake, the noise sounded like it was coming from right next to her, she opened her eyes and realised the groaning was Danielle, she immediately grasped her daughters hand, "No...No..." Danielle groaned, "I'm...not" she was moving now, she must be having some post trauma nightmare like the nurse said. "I'm here Dani" Ronnie desperately said, "Not...a freak..." Danielle cried out. Ronnie felt her heart break once more, she was having a nightmare about her own mother, "No no no! Danielle, you're not a freak you're..." Ronnie began to cry, "your my beautiful daughter...I'm so sorry" She tried to calm Danielle who was now shaking, she needed the nurse. "Help!" Ronnie cried desperately she needed someone to help her daughter, Ronnie was looking franticly still holding Danielle's hand, she had stopped shaking, but then Ronnie heard Danielle quietly cry "Mum..." Ronnie felt her heart skip at the word, she gently placed her head by Danielle's, "I'm here." She whispered softly as help finally arrived.
Ronnie had been outside the room for 15 painful minutes not knowing what was wrong with Danielle, when a Doctor stepped out the room she was scared, what was wrong, her head was full of terrible outcomes, she got up to her feet and the Doctor greeted her, "Miss Mitchell", "Ronnie" She corrected him, "What's the matter is she ok?", he sighed and that only made Ronnie feel worse, "Danielle has suffered some head trauma, she has taken some pills but as far as we know the effects are not that bad and she needs rest, now the head trauma was... we think it was once again self harm, like the cut on her wrist we found, we've sorted out the wounds for now and she just needs rest, she could be here for weeks, and I assume she has been through some emotional problems...?" Ronnie silently nodding, ashamed of herself, the doctor continued "Well, it is most likely when she wakes she will need to talk to someone, but the fact that she was talking while in that state is a good sign, but I'm afraid, she may have suffered, due to the wound on the head, some memory loss, we don't know for sure, but for now as far as we know she will wake, very soon..." Ronnie didn't know what to say, "Mem...Memory loss?" the doctor nodded "Like I said, we aren't sure yet, but she has had quite a bump on the head, a common thing for people to do after being through emotional pain, self harm by cutting them self's and in more extreme cases causing severe head trauma, but as far as we can tell, she will awake, she may not remember small things, tiny details, but until then, we can only keep an eye on her." Ronnie nodded, "Thank you... I was just scared, she's... my daughter I... can't live without her..." she cried out, "Don't worry, she'll be awake soon, let's hope the first thing she sees is her Mother, someone she would want to see" he smiled and walked off down the corridor and disappeared out of sight.
Ronnie re entered the room, Danielle lay once again motionless with bandages on her wrist now she looked calmer, it was then she thought back to what the doctor said, "let's hope the first thing she sees is her Mother, someone she would want to see", What if Danielle didn't want to see her?, she was horrible to her and was not there for her when she needed a mother, but then Ronnie remembered what her daughter had cried out, before being treated by the doctors, this beautiful girl said one word, Mum, maybe she wanted Ronnie after all, Ronnie sat once again by Danielle's bed side and held her hand again, it was approaching early morning so she decided to get some sleep, and prayed that Danielle would wake up the next day, so Ronnie could be there and be the first thing Danielle would see she will be Danielle's Mum.
As Ronnie closed her eyes and rested her head on Danielle, she couldn't help but feel happy, despite everything, she was with her daughter.
Back in Albert Square one man stood outside the Vic, Archie pulled out Roxy's phone that he took earlier, he glanced at the reply from Ronnie, Ok, see you tomorrow, hope you know where the hospital is. I'm staying with Danielle. I can't leave her now... xxx He smirked, he could get revenge on Danielle for ruining his wedding day, he can get revenge on that girl, if she lives through this, he'll do ten times worse to her than she did to herself. He was going to make her wish she had died in hospital.
