Danielle looked scared.

"It's alright, I promise." Sarah smiled at her sister.

"D'you want me to stay?" Zoe asked.

Rebecca shook her head. "It's time to stand on my own two feet. I'd like you and Sarah to stand outside, please." She requested.

They both obeyed.

Rebecca shut the door and sat on the chair next to Danielle's bed.

"What's happening? Has something happened to my parents? Is Zoe okay? Are you okay?" Danielle was confused.

"Yes, everything is fine. I've got something to tell you." Answered Rebecca.

"I'm your birth mother." She said.

"What? How? Why?" Danielle gasped.

"It's rather… complicated." Rebecca explained.

"Sarah said that you didn't want me… Is that true?" Dani asked.

"No, I wanted to keep you desperately." Rebecca explained the story that she had told Zoe earlier.

"Wow… my Dad was horrible…" Danielle said.

"Yep." Rebecca nodded.

"So what happens now?" Dani asked.

"Well… if it's okay with you… I'd like to adopt you back." Rebecca answered nervously.

Danielle's face lit up. "I would love that!" she put her arms out. "Now Mum, can I have a hug?" she smiled.

"Of course" Rebecca embraced her daughter and a tear fell down her cheek.

Zoe and Sarah stood outside watching the scene.

"I'm so happy for Dani and Rebecca." Sarah smiled.

"Yep. It's nice to see a hopefully happy ending for once." Zoe agreed.

Rebecca got up and opened the door. "You two can stop snooping and come in now." She said.

"We weren't snooping! Anyway, I'd better get back to the ED. What d'you want to happen now, Rebecca?" Zoe asked.

"Well… I'd like to adopt Dani back, but I know that it will take time." Rebecca said.

"Well, we'll call Dani's Social Worker and discuss it." Sarah decided.

"That sounds good. Can I still see you, Sarah?" Danielle enquired.

"Of course you can. You'll see me at school, and you can see me on weekends, perhaps? If Rebecca will allow it?" Sarah replied.

"Of course" Rebecca smiled.

"I think you can be discharged now, Danielle. No PE for six weeks, you'll have to come back every week for checkups." Rebecca said.

"Okay. I'll see you soon, though?" Danielle clarified. "You most certainly will." Rebecca grinned.

Rebecca and Zoe made their way back to their office.

"So?" Zoe asked.

"I'm so happy! I am going to get my daughter back, finally!" Rebecca said excitedly.

"I'm happy for you." Zoe grinned.
