Ok so LUCY JO HUDSON is coming back! OMG! Anyway, due to all the bits and bats we now have, I have decided to write a fic about some of my theories for this coming series.
So here goes...
It just wasn't right.
Too small, too polished and far too loud. Danny ran a hand through his short hair with a sigh full of annoyance but also a pang of loss as he realised he was never ever in a million years going to find another place like Leopards Den. Still, he had his priorities and they were not to the place he loved but to the people he loved and in particular to the woman he loved; whom had given him strict orders – 'find us somewhere to live or else.' And for all his stupidity and stubbornness even the gentle and kind hearted vet did not wish to find out what his wife's 'or else' might entail.
"This is the tenth one man!" Dup announced, breaking Danny's wayward thoughts. "We'll never find a home."
"I don't need a home Dup... I need a house." Danny replied in a very matter of fact tone. With a saddened and tiresome mood Danny slowly turned the Estate Agent, who yet again faced the shaking head and the forced shake of hands as the two men once more told him it just wasn't suitable.
"Dup... I'm running out of time." Danny murmured quietly as he ran his finger along the dashboard of the Jeep, avoiding the older man's gaze, "Alice is getting close to the time when she can't fly back here and..." Danny trailed off; not wanting to voice what his companion knew and ultimately feared – the fact that if he could not find somewhere he'd return to the UK, and Dup knew he couldn't deter his best friend a second time or keep him from his wife, child and indeed family.
"I know Trevanion, but we'll find something!" Dup insisted, "Look... there's one place left to the view right?"
"Right." Danny replied in a straight manner, growing tired of Dup's attempts to lighten his mood and indeed stop him from purchasing himself a ticket onto the first flight to England.
"Just see what we find... plus the trial!" Dup argued,
"We've had no update on... Dup! I wish I could sit around here waiting but I can't! My pregnant wife is in England, heavily pregnant wife may I add. She needs me Dup and I need her! Look, the bottom line is I miss her. I miss all of them. Dup, I'm doing all I can but..."
"Bring her out here then!" Dup exclaimed raising his hands of the wheel as he drove into the B&B.
"What into this mess?" Danny shouted, "Yes," He continued sarcastically, "I'm sure she'd be very comfortable! No Dup, Alice is not to come out here until... IF I find us somewhere. No one is."
Dup raised his hands in a visual defeat to which Danny nodded with a small grunt exiting Jeep and heading towards his room; eager in many ways to hear his wife's voice but also slightly anxious as he realised he had to tell her once more he'd not find them a place to live. Danny sighed as he typed in the number to Georgina's... everything lay on what he found tomorrow.
Meanwhile in England
"Please Alice!"
Alice rolled her eyes before handing Liv a twenty pound note – she was as soft as bloody butter! Talk about a push over. Still; she felt she had to be more lenient... it wasn't easier on any of them and if she, a grown woman couldn't handle this separation then she did not expect a teenage girl to either.
"Thank you! You are the best!" Liv beamed, hugging Alice tightly as she added the note to her own collection. She'd been after a new pair of heels ever since they'd had their first British shopping trip and now just twenty pounds short and knowing they could be on a plane anytime, Liv was eager to get them before it was too late.
"When it suits." Alice mumbled, "Do NOT tell Danny... or your Gran..."
"I saved up myself." Liv replied, "And not when it suits! Honestly Alice, you do rock!"
"You're own flattering me to butter me up for next time..." Alice smirked before smiling widely, "Come on, we need to get back."
"No! We have to go on the market first!" Liv exclaimed in great alarm.
"Why?" Alice questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Well... I kinda have something to pick up..." Liv beamed, trying to contain her excitement as she placed the shoes on the shop counter, "Trust me!"
"I find that not only difficult but very hard!" Alice teased as Liv gasped as she handed the money over to the assistant.
"I should have remained nasty to you." Liv replied, taking her bag before grabbing Alice's hand, "Come on!"
As they walked into the market, Liv glanced at Alice. She was looking around boredly, following Liv's footsteps.
"Alice, you do me favour and get me a drink of water please?" Liv asked smiling.
"Sure... I'll wait here for you... Hurry up!"
Liv nodded before smiling and clapping her hands together! Plan was working out just fine!
