Authors note: I know Stacey probable wouldn't be have gone bi-polar if Danielle survived but it went well with my storyline. Hope you like it :) Read and review please.
What's wrong with Stacey?
The cab pulled next to the Vic and a tired looking Danielle walked out carrying Millie.
"I don't see why we can't just go straight to the Slaters,"Danielle said as James payed the taxi driver.
"Because people here want to see you,"James said smiling widely taking hold of Max's hand.
Danielle rolled her eyes and said "we can see them tomorrow! I'm so tired, for someone so small Millie can't half scream!"
James smiled as he opened the door for her and she stepped in.
"SURPRISE!"everyone yelled when she walked into the pub.
Danielle stood there, wide eyed taking everything in. There was pink and white bloons everywhere and a big banner saying 'Welcome home Danni and Millie!'
James saw Danielle's shocked state and laughed as he lead her towards the bar. Ronnie and Roxy where stood there smiling widely when she got there "welcome back! I can't wait for you to move in! I've got so many things to do with you!"Roxy said fast and carried on naming things for them to do while Ronnie watched Danielle's reaction. Ronnie's smiled was wiped of her face however when she saw Danielle look nervous, trying to say something to her rambleing Aunt.
"Roxy,"Ronnie tried to cut in but Roxy carried on excitedly "Roxy!"she said louder and Roxy stopped abrubtedly.
"What? You can't have her all to yourself y'know!"Roxy said annoyed and Ronnie just nodded towards Danielle.
"Actually Roxy, we were going to stay with the Slaters untill we got our own place"Danielle said warily looking between Ronnie and Roxy.
Roxy looked visibly taken back before she asked "are you two together then?"
Danielle blushed smiling slightly while James smiled shaking his head though he looked a little bit sad about this.
"How long do you think its going to take to get your own place?"Ronnie asked slightly hopefull.
"Well first I have to sell my old house and then we have to find a place around here and then we'll be off!"James said happily before turning to Roxy and starting a conversation over plans to have all of them over sometime.
"Well if it gets too crowded around the Slaters you always have a place round here,"Ronnie said smiling, Danielle smiled back but the smile faded when she looked down the bar to see Archie.
Ronnie looked in the dirrection Danielle was and saw immedietly what the problem was.
Ronnie smiled reasuringly at Danielle before walking down towards him and saying "your not welcome here!"
"Come on Ronnie, I'm just here to greet my Grand-daughter and great grand-daughter"Archie said sneering.
"They want nothing to do with you and if you upset her I will kill you!"
"Your very protective over someone your willing to replace so easily,"Archie said walking slowly in Danielle's dirrection with Ronnie's eyes following his every move.
"I'm not trying to replace her"Ronnie said weakly.
"Lets see what Danielle thinks shall we,"Archie said smirking as he put a hand on Danielle's sholder and she looked up from playing with Millie.
Danielle froze when she saw who it was and put a protective hand on her daughter.
"Has your mum told you she's planning on giving you a brother or sister?"Archie asked and Danielle looked towards Ronnie who just watched Archie with tears in her eyes.
"She even ruined her relationship with Jack because she wanted a baby and he didn't. So she decided to stick holes into his condoms,"Archie said smirking darkly at Ronnie before leaning down to whisper in Danielle's ear "are you sure you want her around you daughter?"
Danielle glared at him as he walked away before turning to Ronnie who kept her eyes on Archie.
"Ronnie?"Danielle said concerned and Ronnie turned to face her with tears slowly running down her face. Danielle took one look at Ronnie's face and said "why don't we go upstairs and talk for a while."
Ronnie nodded heading into the back and upstairs to the livingroom.
Danielle sat on the sofa with Millie in her arms watching Ronnie who was sitting oposite her.
"Want to talk about it?"Danielle asked quietly.
Ronnie looked up slowly before taking a deap breath and saying "when you was away, I was thinking about how much I've waisted my life. I'm not married and I had one child that hated me. So I thought that maybe another baby would be a good idea,"she looked up at Danielle but couldn't see whether she was upset or happy about this so she carried on "me and Jack got together and I was really happy. I talked about having a baby with him but he didn't think it was the right time. So I started putting holes into the condoms...I know its wrong but I want a baby so much! He caught me and told me I was as bad as Archie,"Ronnie finished sobbing and Danielle went to hug her, Millie between them.
Ronnie held onto her tightly and Danielle whispered "your nothing like him, I promise you."
Ronnie leant away and smiled gratefully at her. "Do you think I was wrong for what I've done?"she asked nervously.
"I think you went about it the wrong way. Jack said that it wasn't the right time, not that he didn't want one with you,"Danielle said and both women jumped when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in,"Ronnie called out wiping the remaining tears off her face. James walked into the room smiling at them before saying to Danielle "Max is tired, we're heading to the Slaters, do you want to come?"
Danielle nodded turning back to Ronnie and giving her a hug "I'll be back tomorrow"she whispered in Ronnie's ear.
Danielle and James walked through the square heading to the Slaters only to be stopped by Tanya who ran upto her. "Oh Danielle, you have to come to Booty's. Staceys gone mad, she's trashing the place!"Tanya said urgently.
Danielle looked from Tanya's frantic face to James and asked "can you take Millie?"
"Ofcourse,"James said taking Millie out of her arms before Danielle ran with Tanya towards the salon.
When she walked in Danielle looked around in shock, Tanya wasn't joking when she said Stacey had trashed the place up. Stacey was sat down while Chelsea watched her warily.
"Stace what are you doing?"Danielle asked he friend.
"I just wanted to look nice and they wouldn't book me in!"Stacey yelled glaring at Tanya and Chelsea.
"We're fully booked..."Chelsea said quietly.
"Stace, you look nice already,"Danielle said confused to why her friend would act this way.
"Then where are my flowers?"Stacey asked and Danielle looked very confused.
"If I look so nice then where are my flowers?"
There was a silence for a while with Chelsea and Tanya sharing looks and Danielle looked at her friend concerned.
"I'll buy you flowers if you like, what kind do you want?"Danielle asked.
"Any, I don't mind"Stacey said smiling her bad mood conpletely removed and Danielle nodded slowly.
