Unwanted - Danielle and Stefania ON HOLD

19

It was just Izzie and Stefania at home at the minute as they were filming on location today and it was just for the firefighters so Izzie and Stefania had the day off

"hey iz" she says, going into her room

"I'm asleep," she says into the pillow, Stefania lying next to her

"Danielle told me about last night, are you ok?"

"I'm fine," she says quietly, turning her head to look at her

"do you want me to stay or go?"

"stay... please?"

"of course Bambina" she smiles, getting under the covers with her, "you really did get the better bed" she laughs, Izzie still not feeling quite right, "do you want to talk or just lay here?"

"can you tell me something?" she asks quietly

"hm?"

"I don't know anything about you, you don't have to but can you tell me something?"

"well, I grew up in Italy until I was 18, my papa was pretty non-existent, he would only speak to me if he needed me to do something, my mama was the nicest person you would ever meet though"

"was?"

"she passed a few years ago," she says softly, still not used to talking about it

"I'm sorry," Izzie says, the both of them just lying on their sides looking at each other, "do you want to talk about her?"

"she was just like me, loved to cook, loved dancing, even if it was just dancing around the house, she was so sweet," she says, 

"well, if she was anything like you then I would've loved her"

"I'm sorry I don't speak to you much" 

"why don't you?" Izzie asks, Stefania lying on her back, pulling her trousers down so she was just in the shorts she had on underneath, revealing the faded scars running along her thighs

"you remind me a lot of myself when you get upset, I was scared that seeing you when you were like that would bring up too much"

"does Danielle know?" 

"yeah,"

"When did you do them?"

"When my mama passed it was like I lost my world, I didn't have my papa, I didn't have any siblings and then the only person I ever had just disappeared, it was the only way I could cope with it"

"you haven't got any family?" Izzie asks

"no, I haven't spoken to my papa in years now so I don't have anyone"

"you've got us," Izzie says, moving closer as she sees a tear roll down her cheek 

"I know I do, I love you Bambina" she says, holding her as close as she can

"I love you too" she smiles, "can I ask you something?"

"of course, you can"

"Danielle said something last night and I don't know how to feel about it"

"what did she say?

"she called me baby and she hasn't done that before"

"did you like it?"

"I loved it, I've never had real parents and now I've got you two but I don't know what you really are"

"that's up to you Bambina, how do you see us?"

"like my moms" she admits, her voice breaking,

 "I've never had a mom so I don't know what it's like but for some reason, I just think of you both like that," she says, a few tears rolling down her cheeks
