Ronnie smiled as she opened her eyes she looked up at Danielle and then Jack as she heard them talking and laughing. "Hey sweetheart have you been here long?" Ronnie whispered as wiped her eyes. "No not too long I was early anyway." Danielle smiled. "Yeah we were going to wake you up once we finished our cuppa." Jack chipped in making Ronnie and Danielle giggle. "Right well I had best get up, you and me young lady we are off for lunch." Ronnie ordered as she sat up. "We would invite you but it's a girls only lunch." Ronnie giggled as she turned to Jack stroking his neck. "Right well don't let me keep you." He chuckled as Ronnie sat up straightening her top out. "We won't!!" Danielle giggled as did Ronnie. "I will call you later ok." Ronnie smiled as she stood up and Jack helped her on with her coat. Danielle walked to the door and held it open. "Ok well I will be at the club all night so have a good day." Jack chuckled as he turned Ronnie around to face him. Jack softly kissed Ronnie and smiled as he watched Danielle and Ronnie leave the room hand in hand.
"So how has your morning been is Stacey ok?" Ronnie asked as she walked along the market firmly holding Danielle's hand. "Yeah, it was ok Stacey she is fine she was just a bit down, her and Bradley are getting divorced so she is just down that's all but she will be ok I am sure." Danielle chuckled. "She has invited me out tomorrow night I said I would go just to try and cheer her up, is that ok?" Danielle whispered. "Of course it is ok, it sounds like you both need a good night out, where are you thinking of going cause I am sure Jack will cut you a deal at the club if you want to go there." Ronnie giggled as she brushed Danielle's cheek with her hand. "I hope we are because I'm not really keen on the clubs up town." Danielle uttered as she looked up smiling as she walked past Stacey. Stacey waved and smiled as Danielle did the same, Ronnie smiled acknowledging her as they walked past. "Well if you go out, I think I might have a nice night in with Rox." Ronnie chuckled as she pulled Danielle close to her side. "She will like that." Danielle whispered. "So where shall we go for lunch?" Ronnie smiled as she stopped on the pavement outside the Vic. She pulled Danielle around and wrapped her arms firmly around, Danielle rested her head against Ronnie's chest and wrapped her arms around Ronnie's back as Ronnie softly kissed her head. "I think we should get a taxi and go up town, somewhere nice." Ronnie whispered as she rested her head on Danielle's. "Anywhere is fine as long as I am with you, mum." Danielle chuckled as she lifted her head to look at Ronnie. "I love you so much sweetheart." Ronnie smiled as she kissed Danielle. "How pathetic!!" Janine grunted as she barged past trying to get into the Vic. Ronnie sniggered at her as she passed. "Well it is look at you both have you forgotten that she abandoned you at birth Danielle or are you really just as stupid as every other Mitchell round this place."Janine laughed as she entered the pub. "Oi!!" Ronnie shouted after her. Ronnie stormed into the Vic after her, Danielle followed. "Oi I AM TALKING TO YOU!!" Ronnie shouted as she stomped over to Janine. "Oh me really well I'd like a Gin and Tonic thanks for asking!" Janine giggled as she sat at the bar. "You really are a piece of work." Ronnie laughed as she looked at Janine. "Aunty Peg don't serve her she is bared!" Ronnie grunted Peggy approached the bar. "What, why I haven't done anything wrong." Janine winged. "You have done more than enough; now get out before I mess your face up even more than it is already." Ronnie threatened as she shoved Janine towards the door. Phil stood opening the door smiling as Janine shuffled towards him. "Oh I am quaking in my boots, look at you Ronnie you're not exactly up to it in your old age, your dad he did a good job of that didn't he." Janine giggled as she turned standing in the doorway. "What is your problem why are you such an evil cow." Danielle screamed as she stood next to Ronnie. Janine just laughed as she looked back at them. "Because deep down she is a lonely bitter little tart who eats off of making people's lives miserable." Pat uttered as she walked over from the toilets. Janine's smile was suddenly washed from her face and she scowled as everyone in the Vic began to laugh at her which chased her from the Vic. "Yeah and don't forget you are bared." Phil shouted as she trotted off along the road.
"Hey sweetie I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to get so het up over it but that girl she can't get away with saying that about you, I won't let her your my little girl no one will bad mouth you and get away with it." Ronnie explained as she firmly hugged Danielle around the shoulders and kissed her on the forehead. "It's ok, I am sorry too for flying off the wall like that; maybe I overreacted screaming at her like that." Danielle whispered. "No, no that girl she deserves everything she gets she is nothing but trouble." Ronnie uttered. "Come on let's get out of here." Ronnie chuckled as she walked them both towards the door. Ronnie thanked Pat and Phil and then said goodbye to Peggy before leaving the Vic. There managed to get a Cab straight away from outside the Vic, they climbed in and sat close together laughing and joking as they discussed Roxy and her disgusting habits which Danielle had just become apparent too during her stay.
Meanwhile over at the club, Jack was in the middle of a heated argument with a big stocky bloke who was twice the size of Jack. "The deal is you pay me, to supply my dealers and for us to circulate the club, with you knowing what is being dealt all other dealers should be out of here if they aren't mine, so there shouldn't be any competition." The man shouted as he stood backing Jack into the wall behind him. "Yes and I have stuck to my side of the bargain." Jack yelled back. "No you haven't last week we lost 5 grand to competition whilst we circulated in your club and you had two of my guys thrown out." The man screamed as he prodded Jack in the shoulder. "Yeah well there must have been some sort of mistake I will sort it and you will get your money." Jack squealed as he looked up. "Right well it better be sorted because you will pay the hard way Mr Jack Branning." The man threatened as he turned and walked towards the door. "You better hope we make some good money this weekend." The man uttered as he left the club disappearing into the darkness. Jack straightened out his clothes and sat back at his desk brushing off what had just happened.
"Here we are ladies, one soup!" The waitress said as she stood holding the food. "Yeah that is mine." Ronnie smiled as the waitress placed it in front of her. "And one Thai fishcakes and salad." The waitress whispered as she placed the plate in front of Danielle. "Thank you." Danielle and Ronnie both said as the waitress turned to leave. "This looks nice." Ronnie whispered. "Yeah your soup smells so good." Danielle giggled. "Here try some." Ronnie chuckled as she held the spoon in front of her daughter. Danielle swallowed the spoon full of soap and smile. "Oh that is nice, would you like to try my fish cakes they are rich." Danielle giggled. "Well since you offered I wouldn't mind." Ronnie chuckled as she took the fork from Danielle. "Mmmm very nice, I like those I might have to have those next time." Ronnie smiled as she winked at Danielle. "So how is everything going at the club, did you manage to check up on things?" Danielle asked as she looked up smiling at Ronnie. "Not really no, me and Jack discussed a few things but I fell asleep didn't I so I haven't really found out what's going on." Ronnie explained. "Was Jack boring you that much that you fell asleep then?" Danielle joked. "Yeah he was a bit boring but I just got comfy I guess and before I knew it I was out cold." Ronnie laughed. "You don't think Roxy will be mad at us do you for leaving early this morning?" Danielle whispered as she rubbed her eye. "Well probably but Rox she doesn't mean anything by it she understands, but I was thinking we should probably spend a bit of time with her and Amy maybe tonight, she just seems like sometimes she is in a different place." Ronnie explained. "Well she is Aunty Rox maybe she is somewhere different to all the rest of us." Danielle chuckled and Ronnie smiled as she placed her hand on her daughters. "Yes you're definitely right there, but seriously I think she is finding it tough at the moment especially with Amy teething." Ronnie whispered. "Yeah poor Amy and Roxy she is definitely a bit sleep deprived." Danielle uttered as looked at her mother. "Maybe we could get a film tonight and get some face mask and do our nails and just do girlie things in front of the TV." Ronnie suggested as she giggled. "Yeah that sounds great, I really fancy a good girls night in."Danielle chuckled. "Are you all finished." Ronnie asked as she squeezed Danielle's hand. "yeah!" Danielle smiled. "Ok well would you like a dessert, or shall we get something at the park." Ronnie explained. "I am ok at the moment." Danielle whispered. "Ok sweetheart well do you need the loo or anything before we go." Ronnie smiled. "Yes I had best go I don't like using the public ones near the park." Danielle chuckled. "Ok well I will pay sweetheart and then I'll meet you outside ok." Ronnie explained as they both stood up from the table. Danielle helped her mother on with her coat and then passed her bag before leaving to go to the toilet. Ronnie walked to the counter to pay the waitress and smiled to herself as she watched in the direction of the toilets.
"Aww look theres ducks over there, Awww look at them can we sit and watch them." Danielle squealed Ronnie smiled at her as she watched the sweet innocence blossom from her. "Yeah sure." Ronnie whispered as Danielle led them towards the park bench. Ronnie gently sat down realising her tiredness, Danielle sat beside her and cuddled into her side as they sat watching the ducks swim around taking bread from children at the side of the pond. "There are so sweet aren't they ducks, I could never understand why someone would want to eat something that looked so cute." Danielle chuckled. Ronnie laughed and kissed Danielle's head. "Yeah they're so peaceful aren't they, they have no care in the world, oh look, look Danielle those baby ones over there." Ronnie giggled as she pointed over. "Awwwwwww I want one can we have one." Danielle smiled. "Look at them following their mother where ever they go awwww just like you and me." Danielle giggled. Ronnie and Danielle both laughed and cuddled up to one another as they sat on the bench watching the ducks swim around.
