I know in my original Dani story she was 15 when her parents died but i've changed it so she was 10 in this fic when they died. She lived with her Uncle until she was almost 11 then has been with John and Stiles since. Shout out to Bre x2, Guest and nosferatufan for reviewing! I love that you guys give me ideas and i've already written them! Makes this alot easier for me and you guys happier too! Yes, they'll be having sex soonish, do we want smut? And Camden trying some more to get her back, I like it :) The boys' reactions to having Dani's uncle back in the picture..should be interesting! Enjoy!
Dani's p.o.v
I'm silent the entire way to the police station. We both are. Deadly silent. This man, he's claiming to be my Uncle. Where the hell has he been for the last 9 years? Why show up now? I don't know weither to be angry, sad or happy. Yes, he was an absive drunk but he's still the only family from my father's side that I have left. John takes my hand as we walk into the station together. Tara, the officer at the front desk, tells us the man is waiting in interrigation room 3.
"Are you okay?" John asks me. I squeeze his hand tighter and shake my head, no. "Do you want to do this?" he asks. I shrug but I don't stop him from opening the door. He turns and shuts the door behind us. I turn at look at the man. He's familiar.
"Danielle?" he asks. I feel tears invading my eyes. I don't leave John's side and I don't let his hand go. "It's me, it's Uncle Samuel" he says softly. This man..he is my Uncle. His eyes are hollow through, dark rings under his eyes. He's alot skinner than I remember, more bone than anything. He's the same but also very different and it's scaring me.
"Hold on" John says, putting his hand out. He stops and John turns to me. "Is this him?" John asks me in a whisper. I nod, tears falling down my face. "Hey, it's going to be okay" he says, wiping my eyes. I turn back to my Uncle.
"Danielle..do you remember me?" he asks.
"Ye-yes" I say, voice cracking with tears.
"I know I have some explaining to do but..I just wanted to see you first, it's been 9 years Danielle"
"Dani" I say.
"What?" he asks.
"My name's Dani" I tell him. He looks over to John and John nods.
"Okay..Dani" he nods. "Sit down" he says softly, sitting down himself. I nod and pull John with me, sitting across from him with John at my side. "I was hoping to talk to my neice..alone" he says.
"No. He stays" I say. Samuel nods. He goes to open his mouth but I cut him off. "Where have you been?" I ask him, voice wavering.
"That's what I have to explain but first can I just-" he starts.
"Where have you been?" I ask, starting to get a little angry. He sighs.
"After what happened.." him abusing me and me getting adopted away again. "I was put into rehab to get sober. It took 3 years"
"What about the other 6 years?" I ask him. He gives me a pleading look. "You were my caregiver and you hurt me. You may be a bastard but your my Dad's brother" I say. "I deserve to know"
"You're right, you do" he nods. He clears his throat. "They told me you were adopted out so..I left you alone. You were barely a teenager, that wouldn't have been fair to you to just waltz back into your life-"
"But hitting me was fair?" I cut him off.
"Hey, Dani" John says, rubbing my hand and trying to calm me down.
"No" I say. I look back at Samuel. "What are you doing here?" I ask him.
"It's been 9 years..I wanted to see you" he says.
"Exactly. It's been 9 years with no contact, not even a fucking apology" I ground out, angry tears spilling down my face.
"Dani" John warns me.
"Why the hell are you back?" I ask him.
"Dani" John says, alot firmer this time. I let out a deep breath, letting myself calm down before I snap and do something stupid.
"I am sorry" he says. "That's why i'm here, I came to apologise. You're all grown up now, I figured now would be the most appropriate time"
"What about when I turned 18?" I ask him. If my age is really what was stopping him then why 19? Why not 18?"
"I.." he trails off. John sighs.
"You were in rehab again, weren't you?" John asks him. He glares at John.
"Answer the question" I say. He looks back over at me.
"Yes, I was" he admits. I sigh in disbelief, wiping my eyes with my sleeve. "The guilt I felt for hurting you, for leaving you..I had to find you and apologise before I fell off the wagon for a third time, I couldn't go through rehab again"
"You're blaming me for your alcohol addiction?" I ask him angerily.
"No, no, of course not" he says. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a gold coin. "Look, 3 months sober" he tells us, holding it up. "I'm trying, I wanted to talk to you while I was still..me"
"I'm glad you got what you want" I sniff, standing up.
"Danielle, wait" he says, getting up as well.
"No" I say. "We're done here" I say. John takes my hand again and leads me out. He tells Parrish to get rid off him. I break down, letting John pull me to his chest and comfort me.
"It's gonna be okay" John whispers, rubbing my back as he hugs me.
..
"Dani" Stiles says, taking me into his arms once we're through the door. John rang Stiles on the way home, informed him on what happened.
"I'm okay" I tell him, letting him hug me anyways.
"I know you are" he says, pulling back. "Because you're strong" he says. "Right?" he asks. I nod with a small smile.
"I might just go up to bed" I say, voice hoarse from crying so much.
"Dani.." Stiles trails off. I'm not in the mood to talk about it. I just want to hide in my bed. "Let us know if you need anything" he says. I nod and give them sad smiles before going upstairs. I start to cry again, silently, the tears just slipping from my eyes as I lay in bed. First Camden, now my Uncle? Today's been stressful and really emotionally draining. I cuddle into my blankets and close my eyes, hoping to sleep this saddness off.
..
I wake up to someone knocking on my door.
"I just want to be alone" I say.
"It's okay, go in" I hear Stiles tell someone. My door opens and closes again. I look up and Derek's walking over to me. I feel tears spring to my eyes again and I have no idea why. He sits down and pulls me to his chest.
"You're okay" he says, brushing his hand down my hair.
"He-he's back" I say.
"Don't think about right now alright?" he says. I nod. "Stiles called me. John told me what happened, he said I could stay but if you want me to leave then I will" he says, pulling me back.
"No..I-I want you to stay" I say. He nods and softly kisses my forehead. I move so he can get into my bed with me. He pulls me into him, wrapping his arms around me.
"Get some more sleep. I promise i'll be here when you wake up" he says softly. I nod and lean up to kiss his lips softly. I nuzzle my face into his neck and let myself fall asleep to the sound of his steady pulse in my ear.
