Just a little thingy :)

"Come on Alice! One more time" The midwife encouraged her

"I can't!" she whined

"Come on honey your doing great, it'll all be over soon" Danny pushed the hair back off her sweaty face

"Dannyyyyy" she continued to whine

"Alice come on, one more time"

Alice pulled a disapproving look at him. That look that Danny just adored made her look like a little girl who'd been told off. Made him fall in love with her all over again. Suddenly he snapped back into reality.

"One more time, or I'll have to eat that face off you" He grinned

"It's not the time for either!" Alice complained through pants of breath. She let out a large sigh and gripped Danny's hand tighter.

"That's it!" The midwife encouraged. She nodded at Danny to move further down the bed to see what was happening.

Danny's eyes lit up,

"Oh Alice" he said in awe, her hand still gripped tightly round his finger "come on!"

A few moments later a piercing scream ripped through the room. Alice flopped back on the bed in exhaustion and Danny's eyes flickered from her to the baby that was being wrapped in a towel.

"A little girl!" the midwife announced and Danny's smile grew wider

"She's beautiful" Danny choked, fighting back the tears. He quickly returned to Alice and kissed her on the top of her head "well done" he added with a whisper.

"Is she ok?" Alice asked in a motherly tone. The midwife carried the baby over to her.

"She's absolutely fine!" The midwife smiled placing her into Alice's arms

Alice felt a rush all over her body as her daughter was placed in her arms. The bond between them blossomed at that very moment. Alice looked up at Danny who too was staring at the baby.

"She's gorgeous" Alice whispered

"She's you Alice, look. Exactly the same. Beautiful"

"Are you kidding? She's her father's daughter, look how big she is!"

"No question Alice," Danny stroked the baby's tuft of dark hair as she sniffled. Her cries now a distant memory.

"Have we got a name yet?" The midwife asked gently.

Danny and Alice looked at each other and smiled

"Definitely" Alice beamed

"Definitely a Chloe" Danny confirmed.

"Beautiful" the midwife smiled.

Alice bowed her head and kissed Chloe on the head; she wriggled in her arms and opened her eyes to reveal a deep yet sparkling shade of blue.

"Definitely a mummy's girl" Danny murmured as he let Chloe wrap her fingers around one of his.

Alice smiled up at him.

"And we're going to look after you and protect you, and you're going to grow big and strong." Danny wiped a tear from his cheek "and anytime you need me-"

Alice coughed, purposefully

"Need us, you'll have us. Anytime, whatever it is. Because we love you" Danny finished and smiled at Chloe, and then looked ad Alice and leant in for a deep and lingering kiss.

:') For Chlo, *HUGS* x
