Stefania's pov-

I'm lucky enough to call Danielle mine and it feels amazing, lately it's been hard to find the time to do a live to tell everyone so we still have to be extremely careful. We've told people on set including the producers so we can be a little more free there since we play on screen wives. We're filming on location this week.

Our alarm blaring from the bedside table reading the time of six, slowly I flutter my eyes open shutting off the noise before scanning through my notifications, there's so many new dms I have to check.

Laying my phone down on my bedside table once again, I turn over starting to gently run my hand across Danielle's back, I do it for a minute or so.

Dani: "mmm," she complained groggily. I wrap my arm across her stomach whilst resting my chin on her shoulder planting a kiss to her pale- looking face.

"Morning Bella. Did you sleep good?" I whispered placing a little kiss to her neck. She rearranged her position her now loosely having her arm over my chest and her warm face nuzzled into my shoulder. I frown at the thought of my bambina being sick, she hates it so much. I softly graze my hand up and down her back just enjoying the moment, my second alarm goes off causing both of us to groan as it interrupted the lingering stare we were sharing through the silence.

Dani: "hmm babe we need to get up." She launched herself up waiting a minute before pushing off the covers starting to shiver. Her teeth chattering. I giggle lightly at her state before passing her a jacket siding me from last night. "Thanks!" She whispered rubbing the top of her head before shoving her hands deep in the stomach pocket releasing a yawning all while trying to subtly fight her eyes away from dropping shut once again.

"Come back bambina, you're still tired." Arms open and my hands waving her back to my grasp, her head shook swiftly suddenly laying a firm hand against the wall steadying herself before heading for the bathroom. She pulled on the light coughing roughly before pulling her hair into a messy bun and running her face under the cold water. Patting her face dry I start scrolling through my phone.

Danielle's pov-
Stefania Spampinato is my best friend, best girlfriend and overall favourite person. We haven't had the time to do a live. Our schedules simply haven't allowed it with filming and meetings there's not been time however I have the immense privilege of calling her mine.

I had been woken up gently and was ready to walk out the door, my bags packed and the house clean, but I felt horrible. I had the congested cough, constantly every other second my hand covered my mouth as my body shook trying to relieve the correct amount of oxygen, my stomach a little unsettled and a banging headache. Stefania was still getting ready so I curled up on the sofa under a blanket just closing my eyes for a minute.

Stefania: "no papà non posso mollare tutto perché non riesci a rimetterti in sesto per una volta. parla con mamma e cresci testa di cazzo. (No dad, I can't just drop everything because you can't pull yourself together for once. Talk to mom and grow up dickhead)" she spoke with her native tongue leaving me mesmerised, I form a small smile as my eyes start to track her as she paced the back and forth often throwing her head back in frustration. Eventually she hung up.

Stefania: "Cazzo stupido! Dumb fuck" she sighed. I lay my hand out allowing her to lace our fingers together. She hit the couch bouncing and laying her head back into the cushions.

"Are you okay?" My voice was small. She nods quickly looking me up and down before kissing me several times.

Stefania: "Si, c'mon now let's get in the car. I want to go to Olympia before hitting the road." Slowly I pulled myself up and shuffled to the car a step behind the brunette. Arriving at the small coffee shop, we settle on the shared decision of going through the drive through. Neither of us wanting to leave the warmth of the car again. Stefania ordered our usual and a couple of pastries. Paying we pulled away parking in front of the lake glistening as the sun rose.

Stefania: "Danielle, Bambina, are you okay? You've hardly touched your breakfast." She speaks taking a large sip of her coffee raising her eyebrows at me with concern, I forcefully broke off a bite sized piece and brought it to my locked mouth. I look at it and roll my eyes slotting it in. I chew swiftly holding a discrete hand to my stomach. "I'm fine Stef, just not to hungry right now." My eyes lovingly met hers as I moved the pastry into the paper bag placing it on the dashboard. Once again the car starts and we started for the road.

Don't show it Dani, you're stronger than this!

You don't take sick days.

Eyes forward.

His voice radiated my brain, I gulped audibly exhaling through my nose trying to rack my brain away from him. I close my eyes resting my head against the window slowly losing myself in the thought of clouds and how soft they seemed.

A/N:
