Stefanielle + Bambine Oneshots

Pippa loses her parents

Danielle POV

I was sat in hair and makeup when mine, Bonnie and Michelle's phone all went off at the same time.

I looked at the new email notification from the Station 19 administration office.

"Oh my god," Bonnie gasped, reading the same thing I was.

"That poor girl," Michelle said sadly as I continued to scroll.

I remained silent, unable to fully comprehend and take in what I was reading.

"You're close with Pippa aren't you?" Bonnie asked.

"Danielle?"

"Hmm sorry what was that?" I asked, still in shock.

"I said you're close with Pippa no?" She repeated.

"Yeah I am, she's like my mini me," I smiled sadly, thinking of the little, blonde teenager.

"Have you spoken to her?" Michelle asked.

"No, this is the first I've heard of it," I sighed, re-reading the email.

"Danielle?"

I looked up from my phone and saw Stefania rushing in the trailer.

"Have you seen?" She asked urgently.

"Yeah, I can't believe it. I'm just so relieved Pippa wasn't hurt," I said gratefully.

"But the poor bambina. She's lost both her mamma and papa in one night," Stefania said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I know," I sighed, completely lost for words.

"She's going to really need us," I said after a moments pause.

"Have you spoken to her?" She asked, repeating the question I'd already been asked. Everyone on set knew she was often joined to my hip.

I shook my head.

"She's not messaged or anything, I found out like everyone else," I told her, wishing I was with Pippa to comfort her.

Stefania took a seat beside me and Bonnie continued to apply my foundation.

The mood had dropped significantly since we found out about our youngest cast members parents.

I stared down at my phone, wondering what I could say in a message to Pippa.

"Danielle," Bonnie said seriously, nudging my shoulder.

I looked up and through the mirror saw Pippa hovering in the doorway.

I instantly spun around, shocked that she was here.

Surely she wasn't expected to work today.

"Pippa sweetheart," I said softly, my heart breaking for the girl.

"I'm s-sorry," she stuttered.

"I didn't know where else to go," she said, tears threatening to spill.

"We're all here for you bambina," Stefania said gently, everyone else in the room nodding to agree.

An alarm went off on Bonnie's phone, signalling that we only had fifteen minutes until I had to be on set.

All I wanted was to hold Pippa and make all her pain go away.

"Danielle?" She said weakly.

"Yes my sunshine," I replied gently.

"I n-need you," she said, finally breaking.

Nobody on set knew exactly how close Pippa and I were. Over the last few months since she joined the cast, we'd grown much much closer. I knew her home life was less than perfect but to lose both her parents in the same night would effect her massively.
