Diana's POV:
It's been a week since I told Dakota about Danny being her dad. She didn't really seem to different about it. He hasn't left my flat, I'm okay with it. He sleeps in the living room on a couch, only because I felt a bit awkward with him in the same bed as me because we're not together. Dakota has been really enjoying spending time with him.
As of now Danny was trying to put of Christmas tree up. And boy was he struggling.
"Daddy do you need my and mummy's help?"
"No love, I can do this"
I laughed "Danny do you want me to call The guys?"
"No Ya see I got it!" He stepped back with a huge smile on his face. "now we can decorate it"
"Oh god. we don't have any ornaments!"
"We bought a tree but no ornaments. Smart" Danny laughed
"Shut up"
"Mum!! That's a bad word! Don't say that" Dakota said with her hand on my mouth.
"Oh I'm sorry your right. bad mummy!" I laughed "okay let's go get you out of your pjs so we can go to the store." she nodded and ran to her room.
I quickly got myself and Dakota dressed, while Danny waited for us.
"Are you ladies ready?" Danny said as we walked into the living room.
"That's not our names silly! I'm Dakota or Kota. And that's mummy or mum!!"
Danny and I laughed.
"Alright let's just go" I said opened the door walking out to the cold Air.
I buckled Dakota up in her booster seat as she ate her apple slices.
The entire way to the store we listened to 'Let it go' on repeat otherwise Dakota would cry.
Once we arrive at the store Dakota was sat in the trolled while Danny pushed it around. It was quite cute, he was leant over and Dakota pet his beard and laughed at how it tickles her hand.
"Okay I say we decorate the tree with red ornaments"
"Sounds good" Danny agreed.
---
When we arrived back home Dakota fell asleep in her seat. Danny took her to her bed while I took the bags in.
I unpacked all the decorations along with some toys Dakota wanted.
I sat on the couch watching friends while Danny showered. I didn't want to decorate the tree without Dakota because I knew how excited she was to help.
My phone began to buzzed, it was Charley.
"Hello?"
"Hello gorgeous, how are ya?"
"I'm okay, and yourself?"
"Im the same. Wheres my little one?"
"She's sleeping, she fell asleep in the car, like always."
"Awe, I wanted to talk to her. I miss you guys and I felt like I haven't seen you in like a year."
"Yeah well I haven't really been talking to the other guys, excluding Danny of corse, because he's been here."
He sighed.
"Diana. why are you doing this to your self?"
" What do you mean why am I doing this to my self, Charley?"
"Diana! Can't you see! God, all he does is hurt you! If he says he really loves you then he wouldn't have done any of that shit! Why do you go back to him and act like nothing is wrong, I don't fucking get it."
I felt a knot in my throat.
"Are you kidding me? What give you the right to say that? Okay yes he's hurt me but so has everyone else in my life! I'm numb to it Charley! I don't care what you think or anyone else thinks! I've had worst relationships! Maybe I really want to fix things between Danny and I! Dakota needs him" I cried "I need him"
He sighed
"Okay don't come crying to me when he leaves you again"
The line went dead.
I curled up into the couch Crying my eyes out.
"Hey, what wrong love? Why are you crying?" Danny said. he sat down pulling me onto his lap. "what's wrong Diana?"
"It's just I- I spoke to charley." i hiccuped. "he called me and then he started to yell at me because you were staying here" I cried "and he said t-that all you do is hurt me and you should leave. but I don't want you to leave, no matter how many times you've left or hurt me. i want you to stay" I cried into his chest. he kissed the top of my head.
"I promise I'm not going anywhere, okay? I love you"
I didn't say anything back, but continued to cry.
