Chapter Text
It was lovely morning with a bright blue sky, but it had an icy feel to the wind. I woke up as Bernie was awake and I went to her, I picked her up and took her downstairs - Bernie was now drinking lukewarm tea in a bottle with no sugar in it. I put her in her high chair while I did her some lightly cooked toast with some floral butter, after giving her, her toast - Bernie ate it nicely. Then Alison came down and kissed Bernie's forehead, then she kissed my lips; "Good morning baby." "Good morning to you too baby." We smiled at each other and then I did Alison some breakfast.
As we sat down for breakfast (I wasn't having breakfast as my tummy felt unsettled), the news came on and reported that more gangs had gone missing - I turned the telly off as the news was getting more boring by the minute, just then Alison's phone bleeped with a text and she looked at it. "Babe?!" I asked her as she looked up from her phone, "It's just Aria, that order came in." Alison responded as I nodded.
After breakfast, I gave Bernie a bath and she smiled at me. "I'm popping out babe, won't be long." She said as she killed my lips, "Be a good girl for mommy, Munchkin." Alison said to Bernie as she smiled at her mama, she gave her a kiss and then kissed me again; "I love you Ali." "I love you too baby." Then she left the house and I finished bathing Bernie, after the bath I got her dressed and then we went to the park where Hanna and Emily were waiting for us. I pushed Bernie on the swing as Hanna spoke to me; "Is everything ok Danielle?"
"As far as I know, why Hanna?"
"Because Danielle, Alison has been secretive. She has been shady which we tried to ask her about but she doesn't tell us anything."
"Well she did get a text from Aria about the delivery which we ordered for the club." I responded as they looked at each other, I notice the exchange of looks between them; "What?"
"Aria isn't at the club, she's with Spencer at home." Emily said as I was shocked, Alison had lied to me. I texted her; "Where are you? Babe you lied to me, Aria is at home with Spencer." I sent the text but got no reply, later that evening - Hanna, Aria, Emily and Spencer came to stay with me, as Alison had not returned home and I rang her but got her voicemail and I left countless voicemails. Bernie even stayed with me, she wouldn't go to Aria or Hanna or Emily or Spencer - Bernie became clingy to me and she was upset that her mama had gone.
We went to bed that night and I kept Bernie with me, a million thoughts ran through my head at once - I just wanted Alison to ring me and let me know she was ok.
