Chapter 10.

Roxy walked through to the living room, she glanced over at Danielle and winked. She placed the Pizza and Wine on the small coffee table in front of the tv. Ronnie followed walking towards the sofa. Danielle beamed when she saw her Aunty.

Roxy: Right Ron, where do you keep the Dvd's?

Ronnie: In that small compartment near the TV

Ronnie turned around and walked into the kitchen to fetch some plates. Danielle watched Roxy rumage through the Dvd's

Danielle: Whats all this for?

Roxy: Girlie night .. just us, no men, no babies just us girls

Danielle: Sounds great!

Danielle grinned as her mum walked over putting 3 plates down. Ronnie opened the Pizza box remebering she had'nt eaten much today. Roxy turned around holding two Dvd's in the air.

Roxy: Dirty Dancing or .. we have Love Actually?

Danielle frowned not being able to decide,she looked over at her mum for help.

Ronnie: Hmm .. Whatever Rox i dont mind.

Ronnie took a piece of pizza, she handed Danielle a plate.

Roxy: Love actually it is!

Roxy smiled and turned round placing the DVD in the machine.

Danielle: Oh il get some glasses..

Danielle put the plate down and got up. Roxy switched the tv on and searched for the right channel.

Ronnie: You didnt have to do this you know.

Roxy: I wanted to, its the least i can do

Ronnie smiled sitting back tucking into her pizza. Danielle put the 3 glasses down on the table, and unsealed the bottle of wine.

Roxy: Thats right Danielle, get it cracking!

Ronnie laughed, and looked over at her daughter.

Ronnie: Have you eaten anything today?

Ronnie questioned Danielle with a mouthful, Danielle looked up from pouring the wine, she thought Ronnie looked generally concerned.

Danielle: Yeah i had a bacon sandwich this morning

Roxy: This morning!

Roxy butted in, finally finding the right channel she sat down and grabbed a slice of pizza. Ronnie raised her eyebrow at Danielle.

Ronnie: Sit down and eat .. you look pale.

Danielle handed her mum a glass of wine and sat down in between her and aunty Roxy.

Ronnie: Roxy can you take a plate, i dont want crumbs all over the floor!

Roxy grunted, she reached over snatching the plate off the table. Danielle was so pleased, more then words could describe. Here she was sitting with her mum and aunty, this is exactly how Danielle wanted things to be.. forever.

Ronnie: Come on eat ..

Ronnie pushed the pizza box in front of Danielle. She reached over but before she took it Roxy slapped her hand away.

Roxy: Not that bit .. that bit is mine!

Danielle looked at Ronnie, causing fits of laughter and extreme giggling.

45 minutes into the film, the girls had eaten the box of pizza and nearly finished the wine. Danielle looked over at Ronnie every so often. Roxy picked her glass up realising there was nothing left.

Roxy: Ron .. you aint got another bottle have ya?

Ronnie uncrossed her arms and looked over at Roxy. She nodded at her sister and got up to fetch another bottle. Ronnie opened the fridge realising there wasnt much to eat in there. She thought now Danielle was living with her, everything needed to be sorted out properly including the fridge. Her eyes darted around , she was lost in thought for a second, she reached to the back pulling out a bottle. Ronnie placed the bottle on the kitchen unit and pulled her phone out from her pocket.

" Sorry had a better offer, maybe next time. Ronnie"

Ronnie pressed the send button, feeling happy with herself. Throwing her phone back into her pocket she grabbed the wine and walked back over to the sofa.

Roxy: God this bit is so sad..

Roxy whispered to the tv, Danielle looked over and let out a small laugh. Roxy nudged her playfully.

Ronnie: Do you want some more wine sweetie?

Ronnie asked before pouring, Danielle held out her glass as did Roxy. The girls continued to watch the film, Danielle let her head fall onto Ronnie's shoulder she kissed her daughter's cheek and wrapped an arm around her. Ronnie felt a small vibration against her leg, she slipped her phone from her pocket placing it at the side of her so she could read it without Roxy asking who it is.

"Oh right ok. Jack"

Ronnie looked up for a moment, she knew Jack was annoyed with her. She didnt really care, all she cared about was her baby, she didnt want to let Jack interfer and ruin their time together. Ronnie sighed and tossed the phone on the coffee table, Roxy looked over.

Roxy: Who was that?

Ronnie shook her head.

Ronnie: Just Dawn, talking about some shifts at the club.

Roxy's attention was turned back to the tv. Danielle loved happy endings, romantic films, although she couldnt help but feel jealous. Danielle knew how unlucky in love she was, but she knew someday she would meet someone special.

The credits started rolling, the film had finished and all three ladies were sat teary-eyed. Ronnie turned to face her daughter, she ran her fingers through her hair and smiled. Roxy switched the tv off by the remote and sighed.

Ronnie: How about you stay here tonight Rox?

Roxy poured another glass of wine, she sat back fiddling with her hair extentions.

Roxy: What about Amy?

Ronnie: Isnt Aunty Peg looking after her?

Danielle looked back and forth between the two sisters.

Roxy: Yeah .. i could go get her actually .. bring her back here.

Ronnie nodded, she got up and stacked the plates taking them over to the sink.

Danielle: I could go get her .. if you want?

Danielle questioned looking at Roxy, She shrugged her shoulders and took a sip of wine.

Roxy: Its abit dark for you to go on your own ..

Ronnie: I'l go with you

Ronnie quickly added, stepping back into the living room. Danielle smiled, she grabbed her coat.

Danielle: Its fine .. its across the road .. i can manage.

Ronnie was unsure, but she wanted to trust Danielle. She bit her lip gently debating whether or not to let her go.

Danielle: Il be fine .. its over there!

Danielle laughed walking towards the door. Ronnie smiled giving in.

Ronnie: Alright

Danielle walked out of the door, she happily walked towards the Vic. The lights were on upstairs, so that made Danielle feel a little more at ease. Danielle walked to the door and raised her hand ready to knock, she snapped her head to the left side of hear hearing a noise. She frowned, finding this a little strange she walked away from the door, and onto the road. Danielle peered into the dark night, just my imagination she thought. Danielle laughed at herself, she quickly turned back around and smashed into, what seemed to be another human being. Danielle hit the floor grazing her hand on the ground.

Archie: Hello Danielle ..

Archie held out his hand. Danielle's eyes filled with fear, she wanted Ronnie .. she wanted her mum. Right Now!
