Thank you to all reviews, please keep reviewing, finished exams for this week, so thought I would celebrate by this update.
Danielle sighed, is was in that moment that she realised she needed to tell Ronnie why she hadn't known before. She sat down, prompting both Roxy and Ronnie to also sit. She didn't know how to start, really this was never her forte, telling people straight. She preferred to keep her mouth shut, get along with everyone and hope for the best. Her sigh was heavier this time.
'I didn't want to know,' She said, her eyes dropped down towards the door. She felt a tear, but she couldn't blink. It wasn't right, nothing had happened yet. Yet was the definitive word though. She wasn't sure what was going to happen, and it scared her. Everything was a shock for Danielle. Someone found her, and she wasn't sure whether she wanted to be found.
Ronnie's face dropped. Danielle's words shattered her, her dreams, her reality. She did wonder during the three months why Danielle didn't want to know, and maybe it was just because she didn't want to know. It was an odd thing to do really, and it had played on Ronnie's mind. Ronnie then decided to speak, she needed answers, though she knew Danielle deserved more.
'Why did you ask the adoption agency to tell me?' Ronnie asked, sweeping her hair to one side of her face so that she could see her daughter. And in Ronnie's eyes, gosh how beautiful she was, no matter how sad or neutral her facial expressions made. It saddened Ronnie, because her daughter wasn't happy, she wasn't happy at all.
Roxy sat watching the pair of them interact, she didn't want to interrupt this… reunion, if you could call it that. She knew she had to be the witness of the events, and if a fight broke out then she could separate them, but she had to wait, wait until she was needed, if she was needed.
'I don't know,' Danielle finally answered, the truth was, that phone call made was a rash decision. Many months ago, that moment when she realised that she would never see Lizzie again, no matter how many times she would wish to see her one last time. So much past between, so much to apologise for, and it couldn't happen. When the adoption agency told her the options, her brain told her to take this one, to make sure that her birth mother knew at least her name, but also so that she could phone the adoption agency when she was ready to find out her birth mum's name. That plan had then failed. Danielle didn't want to tell Ronnie everything, she wasn't ready. The tears began to fall and Danielle didn't know why, she wiped them with one stroke of her hand. Danielle knew she had one thing to say to her, 'I'm not ready,' she whispered, and she knew that was one thing that she had got off her chest. She was relieved she had said it.
Danielle got up and walked into the hallway shutting the door behind her, she needed somewhere to think. So she went upstairs to her room, leaving her mum and auntie in the lounge.
Ronnie's tears began to fall for the second time that day, it was one step forward, two steps back, and she didn't know how much more she could take. No matter how much she wanted to be with her daughter, sometime it will be enough, and Ronnie won't be able to do anymore, the question is when?
