Danielle was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling still half asleep.
Ronnie and Stacey rushed to her bedside while Roxy hung back by the door a little bit wanting to give the others some space.
"Mum" Danielle murmered. Tears welled up in Ronnie's eyes all she had ever wanted was coming true.
"Yes baby, I'm here I'll never leave you again" she reasured Danielle taking her hand in hers and bringing it up to her cheak. Dannielle felt safe feeling the warmth from ronnie on her hand. Danielle pulled her hand away, she really wanted to forgive ronnie but she couldnt get Ronnie's words out of her head. "who'd want a daughter like you!"
Ronnie was slightly taken back by Danielle's sudden movement, but she couldnt blame Danielle, after all in the 7 months she had been in walford all she had done was use her and treat her teribly.
"You gave us all a fright you no" stacey said hastily changing the subject.
"Stace what.. what happened to me all I remember is the wedding then a train station then waking up here" Danielle asked wanting to get everything straight in her head.
"Well you left the wedding and came to mine, you were saying stuff to me but I ran to the bathroom and when I got back you were gone. Ronnie came looking for you and I told her you had gone, we ran to the train station, i cant tell you much eles cos I was drunk and the stupid security guard wouldnt let me passed." Stacey said watching Danielle rubbing her head trying to remember what had happened that fateful night.
"You turned and slipped onto the track whacking your head as you fell" Ronnie continued from where stacey left off " I jumped down and lifted you off the line then the amberlance arrived" Danielle felt her heart warm up with love Ronnie did love her, if she didn't why would she come looking for her and then save her life?
Danielle regretted pulling away from Ronnie as she heard the events of the wedding unfold. She lifted her hand and moved it towards Ronnie gesturing she wanted her to hold it. Ronnie gently took Danielle's hand in hers again knowing this was what Danielle wanted.
Danielle could feel her eyelids getting heavier she tried to fight it, she didn't want to close her eyes in case when she woke up Ronnie want there. She eventually gave in and drifted into a dreamless sleep.
Ronnie looked on at her sleeping child. She looked so small, sweet and innocent. "I can't believe she's mine" she whispered not wanting to wake Danielle.
About an hour later there was a small knock on the door, it was Charlie who had been waiting in the corridor outside the room. He placed Amy's bag next to Roxy and walked over to Stacey.
"It was a nightmare trying to park" he said "I'm going to get a drink can I bring you girls anything back like a snack or something?" he asked.
"Charlie you wouldn't mind asking at the cafe to warm Amy's bottle would you?" Roxy asked as a hungry Amy started whinging in her arms.
"Yer of course I will" he replied taking the bottle off Roxy and he headed for the cafe.
Danielle started to wake at the sound of her cousin's cries and Roxy trying to hush her. Danielle rubbed her eyes and slowly lifted herself up to a sitting position. She looked across the room at Amy and a smile spread across her face.
"Do you want to try, you great at calming her down," Roxy asked seeing Danielle's face light up. Danielle nodded so Roxy walked to the bed handing Amy to her. Danielle slowly rocked back and forth singing quietly to Amy. Ronnies heart melted at the scene before her eyes. Just as Roxy had said Amy quickly settled nestled in Danielle's arms. With her auntie, her mum and her best friend smiling at her and her baby cousin in her arms Danielle finally felt safe as if nothing could ever hurt her again.
