It's Not Us Anymore

Beasty

Dani had just gotten situated at Bly, she conquered her past demons and she was finally happy. Dani had everything she ever wanted, great friends and one 'special' friend. Dani didn't know what exactly to label her and Jamie just yet but when she thought back to the day Jamie showed her the moon flowers she thinks of that day as the day they became something.

Everything had just started to go well until Flora started walking outside, and Today there was something off about Today Dani felt it in her gut. She didn't know what exactly would happen but knew it would be nothing good.

"You alright?" Jamie asked placing a hand on Dani's waist that caused Dani to shiver. Though her and Jamie have felt each other's bodies, the random touches never failed to send electric waves all over Dani's body.

"Yeah, just a little worried about Flora." Dani lied partially. Jamie knew it's wasn't the full truth but didn't push her. "She'll be alright, the doctors coming out today to check on her so nothing to worry about right now alright." Jamie said comforting Dani.

"Yeah, you're right." Dani said feeling a little less pressure on her back. She felt calm around Jamie, but sadly the calm didn't last long when Miles came running down the stairs with Flora sleepily chasing after him. "Hey what did I say about running!" Dani said loud but kind and concerned.

"We're sorry Ms. Clayton, but Flora was feeling better, so we wanted to play." Miles said with a smile. Dani took one look at Flora and frowned. The small girl was pale with small dark circles around her small dark eyes. Dani didn't realize she had been staring for so long when Flora looked up at Dani confused.

"Sorry about that, Flora you need to stay in bed and rest. If you get up and play every time you are feeling a bit better it's not going to help you get better." She said with a small smile. She watched as Flora's small smile turned into a frown.

"I know, but it's so boring laying in bed not being able to play." Flora said getting upset. Dani knew exactly how to cheer up each child so she had no reason to worry about Flora's sadness. "Hey I know it gets boring but maybe we can play with toys on the bed so you can rest and get better so you guys can play the games you can play when your not sick." Dani said smiling.

As soon as she saw the smile on Flora's face she was relieved to see her words had worked. "How perfectly splendid that sounds! Do you mind walking with me to my room Ms. Clayton?" Flora said cheered up looking slightly eager to go back in bed.

"Of course!" Dani said grabbing Flora's hand and leading her towards the stairs. Halfway up the stairs Dani turned back to look at Jamie who had been staring at her. She smiled turning back around before Jamie could see the pink form on Dani's face.

Once Flora was in bed she was eager for a story. Dani gladly read the small girl as story watching as her tired eyes began to flutter shut. Once Dani was sure Flora was fast asleep she made sure Flora was tucked in nicely before heading back downstairs for breakfast.

After breakfast Dani made sure to have a plate for Flora if she woke up for the meal. Dani was cleaning all of the dishes because she told Owen to take a well deserved break. She ever suggested for him to go and chat with Hannah. Dani didn't know what exactly was going on between the two of them but she knew there was something.

Dani suddenly felt a pair of hands on her waist in the same spot she had imagined Eddie's a week earlier, but then she realized these hands were more gentle and were only touching his hips lightly unlike Eddie's the week before. Seconds after her flashback of the moment a week ago she felt a chin on her shoulder.

"Do we ever get to hangout today, or am I going to sit in agony watching Hannah and Owen be all in love while your working." Jamie pouted digging her face into the crook of Dani's neck. It made Dani chuckle when she heard Jamie's pout voice.
