A while later
Stacy and Danielle walked across the square arm and arm and headed towards the Vic.
Stacy: you will tell her soon wont you. Danielle looked at Stacy and nodded her head
Danielle: yeah I'll tell her. I think she'll hate me though. I mean am going to make her a granny at 34. Stacy looked at Danielle and laughed as they walked into the Vic. Stacy and Danielle looked around and sighed the pub was full of its normal boring old locals. Max, Garry and Minty were standing at the bar talking about West Ham. Charlie, Mo, Jean, Pat and Patrick we all sat in one of the booths gossiping.
Danielle: what a fun fun night tonight is going to be. Stacy looked at Danielle and laughed as she pulled her towards the bar where Roxy was stood behind the bar talking to Jack who had his arms wrapped protectively around Ronnie.
Roxy: What can I get you girls? Roxy asked Stacy and Danielle cheerily
Stacy: mm a vodka and tonic and an orange juice please Rox. So what's going on Rox why you so happy. Not very often one of the Mitchell Sisters are happy yet here you both are with smiles on your faces. Jack looked at Stacy and laughed before receiving a stern looked from both Ronnie and Roxy. Roxy popped the drinks down on the bar and laughed
Roxy: you know I could take offence at that but am too happy. Am going to be an aunty. Stacy turned to look at Danielle shocked.
Danielle: your what?
Roxy: Ronnie and Jack are having a baby. Roxy said loudly enough for a few people to turn and looked towards them at the bar. Ronnie looked at Roxy and shock her head
Ronnie: Roxy. I told you not to tell anyone. We wanted to wait till we knew the baby was okay.
Roxy: of course it's okay it'll be swimming around in all that alcohol your shoved down your throat last night. Kids lucky you know know. I would never be able to keep up with your drinking. Ronnie looked at Roxy and scowled and buried her head further into Jack's chest. Roxy looked at Danielle and rolled her eyes as she took the money off of Stacy.
Roxy: and anyway people we're going to find out sooner or later. I mean you know when I looked at you Ron. You can kinda tell your getting fat. Ronnie's eyes widened as she looked at Roxy shocked. Ronnie lay her head back onto Jack's chest and looked up at him
Ronnie: you don't think am getting fat do you Jack. Jack shock his head and leant down and kissed Ronnie on the lips
Jack: of course not. Roxy rolled her eyes again and handed Stacy her change. Stacy smiled and lifted the drink and turned to Danielle who was stood looking at Ronnie in shock. Stacy nudge Danielle bringing her out of her trance
Stacy: come on Dan lets go and sit down before those two make me sick .Danielle nodded and followed Stacy to a seat in the corner of the pub. Every now and then Stacy would notice Danielle looked over to Ronnie
Stacy: why do you keep staring at her like that Dan. Danielle turned to face Stacy with a blank expression on her face.
Danielle: how could she do this to me Stac. Stacy looked at Danielle confused
Stacy: do what to you? What has she done now?
Danielle: how can she have another baby. How can she just replace me. How can she just replace her own daughter. Am her daughter.
Stacy: she's not replacing you Dan. She doesn't even know you exist she thinks your dead. She's having another baby what's the big deal people do it all the time it doesn't mean there replacing the children they've already had.
Danielle: she shouldn't have gave me away then should she. Then she would know ho I was. She gave me away to be raised by someone else all I've ever wanted was to be part of that family to feel like I belong and now she's going to have that baby and it's going to have everything I ever wanted just handed to it on a plate.
