Hey guys hope you's are still enjoying the story please R&R : )
Ronnie stood pouring a glass of water at the sink feeling the pain and desperation fill her once again - there was just so many things that remained unsaid between them but Ronnie knew it wasn't the right time to dig up the past, she feared in doing so she would lose her daughter, her baby girl once again and that was she just wasn't prepared to let happen.
Pulling the package from her bag she made her way to a vacant Danielle who was flicking obliviously through the channels without any real thought to what was on.
Ronnie positioned herself on the sofa next to her, trying aimlessly to bridge the gap which was slowly appearing between them.
"Danielle sweetie, your going to need to take this" Ronnie pushed the water and tablet toward her fragile baby - Danielle examined the tablet trying effortlessly to recognise it but to no avail. " What is it?" she questioned, panic rising within her - although she was unsure why.
She watched Ronnie shift uncomfortably in the seat before her, massaging her temples trying to find the right words. Ronnie felt Danielle's eyes remain fixated on her while waiting for a response, she was yet to summon, letting a small cough as if trying to find her voice.
Ronnie shifted her head upward making eye contact with a frightened Danielle -
"the doctor prescribed it for you" Ronnie managed to reply keeping her eyes fixed on the lost little girl which sat before her, "it's the morning after pill" Ronnie rushed without realising but continued as she attempted to read her daughters expression.
"it's to prevent the chance of pregnancy occurring"
"pregnancy" Danielle's eyes grew wild in panic the thought never entered her head, it couldn't happen to her, not again.
"it's just to be safe sweetie… we don't want to take any chances do we?" Ronnie shifted uncomfortably realising this was the second time she was inadvertently helping her daughter get rid of her unwanted baby, Ronnie's grandchild.
Ronnie shuddered at the thoughts of the abortion entered her mind, that day had lingered solemnly on her mind, unwanted but it still remained, even before Ronnie knew Danielle was her daughter, her words, her lies repeated themselves over and over.
"I honestly believe making this decision now, when the time is right you will be a great mum"
Ronnie inevitably blamed herself, she should have stopped her prevented her from losing her baby just like she did, but instead she had being selfish, although at the time she thought she was doing the right thing.
Ronnie let a deep sigh as it replayed in her head, she lifted her hand beginning to stroke her daughter's arm in a bid to comfort her, to comfort herself.
Danielle lifted the water, glancing at her mother who give a delicate almost sympathetic nod. Placing the pill in her mouth, she felt the cool water make it's way down her throat washing away the remains, his remains.
"that's my girl" Ronnie smiled awkwardly feeling weak and defeated , pulling her daughter into a hug.

Jack drained his bottle of beer, placing it on the counter while waiting for his mate's response. John shook his head trying unsuccessfully to absorb the information he had just received. " that little….." was all John had managed to say as Jack told him about Danielle's ordeal but had since remained quiet as he studied the two boys who where continuing to play pool and down drink after drink.
A smile crept onto John's face as he realised he couldn't miss out on the opportunity to slag his old mate.
" you must really love this Ronnie.." he stated smugly watching Jack's eyes light up.
" what makes you say that?" Jack stifled a laugh, trying his best to hide his emotions,
"well you going to all this trouble for her, she must mean a lot to you, plus your wearing that stupid grin of yours" John teased feeling triumphant that he had successfully wound his mate up, as he watched Jack's face flush inadvertently.
"it's complicated" Jack sighed annoyed at the situation he had found himself in
"and Danielle's a nice girl, she doesn't deserve this" Jack knew he was doing it for Ronnie but it was true Danielle didn't deserve what had happened to her.
"yea right mate, and if her mum happens to want you as a way of a thank you you'd say no then, would you?" John smirked, he missed winding him up although he had found it was indeed an easy thing to do.
Jack playfully punched him on the arm "Yea right mate, whatever- did u get the stuff?" Jack whispered discreetly trying to get back to business. John nodded and patted his coat pocket, "then we are in business" Jack stated, looking towards the two young men.
