This chapter is dedicated to my amazing friend Bethany Taylor, who's birthday it is, also to Taylor Swift, as like, she is awesome and I felt that Danielle could relate to her most, Swift has a knack at knowing everything to do with teenage girls. Sorry about adding Miley Cyrus, 'The Climb' is a proper cheesy song, and with Joe singing it for the x factor single, it just got cheesier, but you know, if you look at the words, it is kinda about how Danielle never gave up.
Please review guys, the vibes I'm getting from reviewers is that they like this story, even though I've made Danielle be abused when she was younger, and Jack is the father to her unborn child.
Also, maybe I didn't really explain it well in earlier chapters, 'Daddy' is her foster dad, who is currently in prison for abusing her. 'Dad' is Andy.
If you need anything else explaining, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I have big plans for this story but it's not going to be a 30 chapter story, as although I love reading them, I have GCSE's to consider, and a Macbeth essay that was meant to be in by last November and I still havn't started it, you get my jist.
During the rest of the day Danielle and Ronnie got to know each other, well not exactly, it was more Ronnie getting to know Danielle's style of music, mainly that Danielle told her mother about the time she went to see Taylor Swift before she was famous, and how amazing she was back then. Ronnie listened to her every word, remembering everything her daughter says, whether its talking about the past or present, was a high priority now on Ronnie's list, she wanted to be able to catch up, for her mind rather than Danielle's, but it impressed Danielle that Ronnie was still listening, as she was always cautious in case 'cold' Ronnie returned.
'Danielle, Miley Cyrus, babe, theres a lot more to life than Hannah Montana,' Ronnie laughed, shocked that her daughter had such cheesy music on her iPod, she needed to be educated in music, and fast.
'Listen to this song, please, it's awesome,' Danielle replied. She didn't like the word 'babe' to be used, she wasn't ready, so she took eye contact away from Ronnie, she knew she was in control of the situation, but she didn't like the control, she wasn't used to it. Ronnie noticed the loss of eye contact, but didn't want to mention it, she didn't want to ask the questions, she felt Danielle wasn't ready for that.
As lyrics to The Climb boomed out of the docking station, the pair of them were in silence in the hospital room, and Ronnie took in the words used, and then realised what they meant.
'I'm so proud of you,' Ronnie whispered when the song finished.
'What for?' Danielle questioned, wondering what she was on about, for Danielle, it was about trying to get past the death of her 'mum', and the idea of hope of finding her daughter again.
'Everything, just, everything,' Ronnie mumbled, realising that Danielle didn't make her listen to that song in a suggestion that she never gave up on finding her.
The doctor came into the room, oblivious to the fact Taylor Swift was playing and said, 'Miss Jones, could I please talk to you, preferably private?' the doctor wondered whether Danielle had told her 'mother' the truth, as he had treated Danielle many times before.
Quickly switching the iPod off, Danielle replied, 'If you want to talk to me, you can say it in front of Ronnie too,' The only reason Danielle had suggested this is because she didn't want to be in the same room as the doctor, she still wasn't sure whether to trust her mother, mainly down to experience. Ronnie meanwhile, was overjoyed at what her daughter had said, she thought this could be a step into becoming the mother she has always wanted to be.
'Right, umm ok,' The doctor wasn't expecting Danielle to have already told Ronnie the truth, Danielle had kept it hidden from most people, the only people that ever knew the whole truth was the court, the two policewomen handling the case, the new adoptive parents, and him. She chose not to tell anyone, and everyone had to sign an agreement, it's why the Doctor is now permanently signed to Danielle, 'from the accident, there has been no lasting damage, just heavy bruising, regards your baby, it's doing fine, your very lucky Danielle, but regards to when you were younger, would you consider having counselling?' Danielle flinched, this was why she didn't want him to treat her, he always asked her to consider, but it was not what she wanted, she didn't want to talk about it, it still hurts her.
'Umm, no thank you,' Danielle stammered, 'I'll be fine,'
'Well if that's the case, we'll sort out the forms, and you can be discharged,' He left the room, glad to be of assistance, even if Danielle was being off with him.
Five minutes of silence followed this conversation, untill Ronnie said very very fast
'OwAbUStaWiMe?' Ronnie's nerves clearly overtook her.
Danielle almost laughing, 'Ronnie, can you repeat that?' She was trying so hard to keep the giggles away, she could tell it was difficult for Ronnie to talk to her, and she was slightly hurt by this but the way Ronnie spoke, it was so fast that Danielle couldn't stop the giggles not coming.
'How about you stay with me?' Ronnie repeated, slowly and clearly. She was slightly embarrassed by the fact Danielle had seen her nervous, yet it made Ronnie's heart warm up when she saw her daughter trying to keep the giggles away.
As soon as Ronnie said that, the giggles stopped abruptly stopped, Danielle didn't know what to say at this point, in her heart she really did, but her brain was telling her it's too soon, way too soon.
'Too soon,' Danielle said to herself, and then realising that she had said that out loud when Ronnie's face dropped.
'Ok, sure, it's been a very long day, do you want me to drop you off at Stacey's,' Ronnie tried to cover up her disappointment, she didn't want her daughter to think that she didn't understand what she was going through. She smiled at her daughter, hoping that she will be able to hold her, one thing she always dreamt off, and doing so preferably whilst she was conscious.
'Sure, thanks,' Danielle said, she couldn't understand why Ronnie was being so nice to her, always the one she hated, the one she took everything out on. She's still Danielle Jones, even if the subheading says 'Ronnie's daughter'
WOOP, finally got them out of the hospital. YAY! Next chapter we'll see how Stacey reacts to everything that's happened. I've loved writing just the two of them talking, it's been amazing. Please review. There will be more heart to hearts, there has to be now that Ronnie knows the truth. Also, will Danielle tell Ronnie Jack is the father? Only if you review you'll find out, woop :D x
Lovee, Abbi
