Hello everybody, sorry you haven't had any updates from me. I haven't given up on Fate but just got a bit bored with it and never found any inspiration to continue at the minute. I will come back to it but don't know when. So here's a new fic for you all

Summary: Leopard's Den has humour, love and drama. Here are all my favourite moments from the rabies outbreak to now. Basically just my take on how characters are feeling during particular moments. Will mainly focus on Danny and Alice but also have to include Dupe's best moments as he has so many, never fails to crack me up. Know it doesn't sound amazing but give it a chance, you may be surprised

Series 4 – episode 3

Zulu Traditions

Danny's POV

I can't believe it I'm going to be a grandfather, it's amazing. I can't quite come to terms with it, after Sarah's death, I haven't had much to celebrate. But my beautiful daughter is going to be having a beautiful baby. That's why we're all sat on the veranda listening to Dupe ramble on about Zulu traditions, he's completely mental but where would we be without them.

"Zulu's they know all about easing the pain of childbirth" Dupe starts, wonder what he's got up his sleeve this time?

"No don't tell me, they have all this amazing natural remedies plucked from the wild" Georgina interrupts sarcastically.

"No, women take care of everything, the men go into the bush and have a beer" he says in his typical casual voice to amusement.

"So how does that ease the pain of childbirth?" I asked completely confused

"Well the guys don't have to listen to all that screaming, Not all this holding your hand and teaching you how to breathe bull" he says demonstrating this which was also met with laughter, mainly from the men I notice, this isn't going to end well.

"It's not bull, max is going to do all of that." Rosie states seriously annoyed.

"No, you already know how to breathe I'll be in the pub drinking with the guys"

"Yeah he's all for preserving Zulu traditions." I snigger into my drink

"More beer max." Rosie says' throwing her drink at him hitting me, before storming off.

Leopard's Den is never dull that's for sure, even with the drama there's always a little argument that spices things up nicely with a bit of humour thrown in. Even though Sarah's dead, the one thing that will help piece myself back together is my family and Leopard's Den. Africa is a place of broken dreams but it's also a place for love and family, Leopard's Den proves that.

Evan Returns.

Danny's POV

I'm struggling even more now with Evan being away, even though I speak on the phone to him, it's not the same and it just emphasises how far away he actually is from us. I'm coping but for how long? I'm not sure. Better crawl out of bed and face the family again for what's sure to be another eventful vet filled day.

"Morning Nomsa" I great without much enthusiasm

"Morning"

"Hey evan" I reply without emotion

"morning" Evan replies, wait...

"EVAN! It's you, I thought I was dreaming" I say rambling like I always do in emotional situations embracing him tightly

"Your not" Evan says' grinning from ear to ear.

"He came in last night when everyone was asleep" Nomsa explains smiling.

"What are you doing here, what about your dad, does he know your here?" I ask starting to worry what's forced him to come all the way out here.

"It's fine"

I start mumbling to myself worrying about pathetic things when I should be focusing on the boy I am as close to as my son.

"Danny, he paid for my flight" Evan stated before I got ahead of myself

"You came here all by yourself?" I asked overwhelmed.

Nods.

All of a sudden none other than Anders Du Plessis burst into the room shouting "I thought we got rid of this free loader, look at you" he admires racing towards my son, they have such a strong bond it's beautiful to see.

"Oh my god Evan, I knew you were up to something" Rosie greets coming into the kitchen followed by the rest of the family. Looks like Leopard's Den is nearly back to normal, still seems like There's a place that needs to be filled, but Sarah's death will take a long time to overcome. All good news is always followed by bad. The phone ring announcing that our worst fears are true.

Leopard's Den has a Rabies Outbreak...

Going to try an update more often than with my last few stories, I enjoyed writing this would have done more tonight but need to be revising so hopefully, I'll have next chapter up with my best bits from The rest of episode 3, with Danny and Alice's first meeting. Please review.
