Max was sat on the edge of Rosie's hospital bed, with his arm around her as she cradled their new baby. They had been in Cape Town for 5 months now, they felt that they needed a fresh start away from Leopards Den to have their own life, not Danny's, or as Du Plessis put it 'to find their place in the world'. It was hard for Rosie to settle in at first but as soon as she had started university she knew that it was the right thing for them, she planned to return to university soon after the baby was born.

"She's perfect" Rosie whispered

Max couldn't believe his luck; he leant in to kiss his wife on the forehead.

"I'm so proud of you, you know that?"

Rosie smiled back at him.

"So this is it for us, new family, new start"

"Guess so. My mum called, she said they would be up this afternoon but you should get some rest now you must be exhausted."

"I am, will you phone my dad for me?"

"Sure" Max replied, as he took his newborn daughter from her and placed her in the hospital cot. Nothing could remove the beam from his face; he was on top of the world.

Danny had just returned from tending to Tula when the phone rang.

"Hello, Leopards Den" Danny hated these kinds of days, busy schedules, and a constantly ringing phone.

"Danny hi, I've some news" Max's voice came through the received.

"Max!"

"We got a girl"

"Oh that's fantastic" Danny couldn't believe it either. He was reluctant to let Rosie go when they left everything seemed to have been changing so quickly for the family with Sarah and everything.

"Yeah she's beautiful, just like her mum eh?"

"Oh I bet, how is she, Rosie?"

"She's fine, just exhausted really, had a bit of a tough time to be honest"

"I'm sure, well we'll come and see you next month. Sorry Max, I've got a fully booked surgery now"

"Hey don't worry about it; I'll get Rosie to give you a call later."

"That's great, thanks Max" Danny put the phone down. He found it difficult to get over the idea that he wasn't the main man in Rosie's life anymore. He knew he had to find Evan, the thought of becoming an uncle was the only thing getting him through now that he had to return to England to look after his father.

"Evan? Evan?" Danny called as he made his way to the study.

"Yeah?" came a reply as Danny opened the door

"You've got a niece" he proudly announced as he watched Evan's face light up.

"Serious?!" Evan leapt up from his seat and went to give Danny a hug

"I know, I know it's amazing!"

"Hey hey, what's all this shouting?" Dup called from the living room as Danny and Evan turned.

"Rosie's had a baby girl" Evan grinned.

"Ah that's fantastic"
