Wednesday 13th January 2021

"Blaze, Aurora be good for grandma please your mom and I will be back to pick you both up after our appointment" Stefania said bending down to hug both her children "Okay mama love you" Aurora said wrapping her arms around the brunettes neck "See you later mama" Blaze replied kissing his mama on the cheek and walking into there grandma's house.

"Stefania are you almost here" Danielle asked when her wife answered the phone "Yeah I am just parking see you in a minute" Stefania replied hanging up on her wife and parking her car. "Danielle and Stefania" the women called out just as Stefania walked through the door "How were the kids" Danielle asked "All good I dropped them at your moms without any complaints" the Italian replied with a sigh.

"Nice to see you both again" Dr Marin said with a soft smile gesturing for them to sit on the couch "You too" Stefania replied with a soft smile "Perfect let's get right into it last time we did marriage counselling Danielle you said you thought you weren't making Stefania happy anymore can you elaborate on that a little bit" Dr Marin asked. "We have been married a long time and I just feel that every single day Stefania is more unhappy then the last" the blonde said shrugging her shoulders "That's not true" the Italian interrupted "Stefania it isn't your turn yet" Hanna the therapist said.

"Our marriage isn't like it used to be and I understand things have changed over the years but I don't think she loves me like she used to" Danielle added earning a scoff from her wife "Why do you think that Danielle" Hanna asked "We don't go on dates anymore, we don't spend any time alone" the blonde said before her wife interrupted her "We are always working" Stefania pointed out "Even when I ask if you want to go away for a weekend you always say no, if I ask to go on a date night you say no, if our kids are not coming with us you don't want to go and it makes me feel like you don't want to be alone with me" Danielle said raising her voice slightly.

"Danielle we were alone just the two of us for 4 years before we had children" Stefania shot back matching her wife's tone "Okay let's just take a deep breath" Hanna said interrupting the fight that was about to break out between the two women "We have been doing this for weeks now Stefania and I can't keep doing it I just can't" the blonde said through a shaky voice "So you are giving up" Stefania shot back "I don't want to give up but I don't want you to be unhappy anymore I love you and I want so much for you so much more than this" Danielle said through tears gesturing between the two of them.

"So you want to divorce me" the Italian spat out in disgust "No god no I don't want to divorce you but I think we should seperate for a little bit and have time to focus on ourselves and our two beautiful children" Danielle offered "I think that is an amazing idea" Hanna said smiling and nodding her head "What I was going to suggest next is that the two of you have a small break usually I recommend no communication with each other for a few weeks but because there are children involved we will do things a little different" Dr Marin said earning small head nods from both women.

"Okay there are a few rules you can't have sex, you can't sleep in the same bed, you can't talk about your relationship obviously normal conversation is fine and anything about your two children is fine just nothing that will lead to arguments" Hanna stated "I will check in with you both in two weeks time and we will see how it is all progressing" the therapist said "Does this work for both of you" Hanna asked "Yes" Danielle replied "I guess" Stefania said feeling like this idea was stupid.

"Mommy" Aurora exclaimed running through the lounge room and into her moms arms "Hi baby how was grandma's house" Danielle asked picking her daughter up "It was good we got to go swimming with Auntie Steph" the small brunette said "How exciting you lucky girl go and have a shower baby dinner will be ready soon" Danielle said putting her daughter back on the floor and watching her run off towards the bathroom. "Mr Blaze here is not happy" Stefania said with a chuckling walking into the house with bags on her arms and a very grumpy son in her hand "Can you help me" the Italian asked "Of course" Danielle replied quick to her wife's side to grab the bags off of her.
