Six weeks later and danielle is due to get her cast off, herself and ronnie have been living together like mother and daughter, learning to live with each other and even picking up each others anoying habbits.

danielle-"i cant wait to get this thing off" danielle looked frustrated "its soooo itchy, all the time"

ronnie-"your proberly need some pyhsio for a while so it wont just be the end off it" ronnie said putting her bag over her shoulder getting ready to go out!

danielle-"great" danielle sighed "i just cant wait till im able to walk again, no offence but being stuck in all the time, well its a bit boring, first thing im doing is to see if stace fancie a night out" ronnie smiled

ronnie-"so im not invited then?" she helped danielle off the sofa

danielle-"what you and stacey?" she scoffed

ronnie-"well ok, how about we go for a meal, my treat, get to know stacey abit better, if she's your best friend dan im going to have to get along with her arnt i?"

danielle-"a meal? tonight?"

ronnie-"you might not be up for it tonight but deffently when your feeling better. now come on were going to be late"

they left for the hospital in the back of ricky's cab, for danielle it brought back memorys of the abortion the silent journey all the way there, ronnie not having a clue she was going with her child to abort her grandchild, it was only a few months ago, now sitting in the back of the cab chatting away, no awkward looks or silences, perfect.

docter-"your going to be rather swollen for a while, but just keep taking your painkillers for the next week or so then we shall sort you out with some physio, but for the mean time i'll show you some light excerises you can do at home" he said turning around and typing something on the computer

ronnie-"good as new" ronnie said running a finger over danielles leg

danielle-"feel's wierd, abit numb" danielle tried to bend her leg

docter-"there we are" he said passing ronnie some sheets of paper with the excersies "hear's your crutches, i recommend you use them untill your leg is stronger but while your in the house getting from A to B try and not use them and when your really feeling confident just use the one" he said winking "and your be good as new in no time" he reached for danielles hand as he helped her sit off from the bed

ronnie-"thank you very much, she's dying to get out" ronnie shook the docters hand followed by danielle "thank you" she beamed as her and ronnie left the hospital."well that was quick and easy"

danielle-"sooo, that dinner tonight? celebrate?"

ronnie-"you sure?" danielle nooded "text stacey then" ronnie rolled her eyes as she helped danielle into the back of the cab

"dinner tonight, me, u n ron? xxx"

danielle-"stacey is coming to ares at 8" danielle closed her mobile and put it in her pocket

ronnie-"i better book a table then, anywhere you want to go?"

danielle-"you decide, suprise me" ronnie smiled as she touched her daughters hand.

couple of hours later and ronnie and danielle are waiting for stacey to turn up.

danielle-"she's never on time" danielle checked her phone for the time

ronnie-"give her a few more minutes then give her a ring" ronnie smiled as she sorted out her hair

danielle-"so were we going tonight?"

ronnie-"fargo's...thats ok isnt it?"

danielle-"yeah.." the door bell went "oh that be stacey" she tried to stand up gribbing onto her crutches

ronnie-"i'll get it, your gonna break the other leg on thoose" ronnie laughed as she went to answer the doorbell danielle tucked her phone into her pocket and followed her mother out.

stacey-"hello, nice to see you back on your feet" she pointed at danielles leg.

danielle-"i know feels amazing" she beamed a smile as they left the house.

ronnie-"bottle of white pino please" ronnie passed the waitor the menu

stacey-"i dont think wine is such a good idea for dan when shes only got the one leg" stacey laughed

danielle-"one glass wont hurt" she said shaking her empty one

stacey-"one does it for you, remember that time i think you had half a glass, you had to lie down"

danielle-"thats only happend once and thats becuase i hadnt eaten" danielle assured her mother.

stacey-"i had to go out on my own"

ronnie sat in silence enjoying listening to her daughter and her best friend having slight banter and chit chat

stacey-"well that was lovely, ta ron" stacey felt the wine go to her head making her more convident "never thought i'd be eating dinner with ronnie mitchell" ronnie laughed as she drank the remadings of her drink

ronnie-"i never thought i be sat hear with either of you" she touched danielles hand "anyone fancy dessert?"

danielle-"oh i dunno if i could fit anything in"

stacey-"im stuffed"

ronnie-"oh you wimps, im gonna have one, mmm chocolate cake with ice cream" she licked her lips "yum"

they left the resturant and returned back to ronnie's

danielle-"do you want to come in for a drink or somthing?"

stacey-"na, im gonna head over to R&R see if theres any talent about tonight"

ronnie-"do you fancy a quick drink?" she nodded to danielle

danielle-"maybe in a couple of weeks, its been a busy day" ronnie smiled at her daughters maturity "see you tommorrow stace"

stacey-"yeah, come and sit out with me on the stall if you want, thanks for the meal ronnie"

ronnie-"no problem, it was fun" stacey turned and walked off in her heals "you ok?" she helped danielle up the stairs

danielle-"just getting frustrated with these things, restricting me"

ronnie-"you dont have much longer left till your back running about, going to clubs and stuff with stacey" they enterd the living room switching the lighs on and taking a seat at the kitchen table "want a drink?"

danielle-"no thanks" she put her head down

ronnie-"whats wrong?"

danielle-"nothing" she took her phone out and started texting

ronnie-"danielle, somthings wrong"

danielle-"i just want things to be normal around us, with us" her out burst shocked ronnie, she thought they were getting on well

ronnie-"whats going on?" she asked concerned taking a seat

danielle-"i just want everything to be normal, for you to get anoyed at me when i anoy you, for you to be in a bad mood when your having an off day, i want you to tell me off, your being to nice"

ronnie-"danielle, you make me like this, happy i have no reason to have bad days certainly no reason to get anoyed at you becuase your perfect" she stroked her hair

danielle-"then we need to start acting like mother and daughter, were more like best friends, i meen im nearly 20 and im sharing a room with my mother like were at uni talking to the early morning"

ronnie-"im doing my best, i thought this is what you wanted" danielle felt a lump coming to her throat

danielle-"it is, it still is but we need to start thinking realisticly, if were living together i need my own room, we both need are own space somtimes, time apart" ronnie sighed "sorry"

ronnie-"your right, i meen whats gonna happen if either of us get boyfriends" she joked as danielle showed a smile "we need to start looking for a new place then"
