Like Glue
Hey guys, well what a finale I loved it! But anyway, this fic is set slightly during and after the s6 finale. It's basically what happens – it's all written in POV's and will flick between characters.
Enjoy and please let me know what you think!
Alice's POV
I stood frozen to the spot. Eyes glued to the road. Watching until I could no longer see the sandy coloured Jeep, even when it was gone, well gone, I couldn't tear my eyes from the spot. I squeezed my eyes tight shut as I tried to control my heavy laboured breathing. I didn't cry in public and I could not cry in front of Charlotte.
I heard Caroline call from behind me but I couldn't tell you what she said. I felt like I was underwater, my hearing was distorted. All my attention was focussed on that road... the road Danny had gone down.
I understood, it was what he had to do and the temptation to go with him was overwhelming, but I knew I couldn't... not this time. Charlotte needed me, Olivia needed me, Caroline needed me and most importantly our baby needed me, mine and Danny's creation. Danny would follow me, I knew he would. The sincerity in his eyes when he told me he would, no one could miss it, it was there. This was what he had to do, he had to solve the rhino problem. I don't know why, but something told me he had to, something told me to take those tickets from his hand and tell him to do what he had to do.
I know that I could have made Danny come with me, in fact, if I hadn't have opened my mouth he would have stayed with me, come to England even though it was painfully obvious how much he wanted (despite the fact he hadn't realised it yet) to stay in Africa. He was a loyal, loving, family man, that's one of the many things I love about him.
"Alice?"
I felt a hand on my shoulder and quickly wiped my eyes under the pretence I had an itch, I turned and saw Olivia's soft expression. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. I noticed that only Olivia and I stood on the outside of the plane.
"They want us to board..." Olivia said softly, her eyes then darted past me as she too looked to the road. I turned back, I had to look just one more time. "He'll follow Alice."
"I know." I managed to squeeze out. I took a deep breath and ran a hand over my bump. I turned back around and smiled at Liv and nodded. Slowly and with reluctance we both stepped towards the plane together. I sighed, this was it, I was leaving Africa, home, my husband...
Danny's POV
As Dupe drove I focussed on the passing bush land. Of course it was all a blur, a sea of beige and green merging together, a few dashes of grey here and there blended in perfectly, a few pinks and yellows brightening it up. I exhaled deeply before biting my lip. Tears we were already welled in my eyes, they had been since I'd climbed in the Jeep. I'd never left Alice before, never. We'd always been together, the fearsome twosome, we were a team. But this was something I had to. Alice had persuaded me. I hadn't been sure and I would have gone to England, I admit that. But, Alice was right... she always was.
I knew one thing though, in all of this crazy mess and that was that I loved Alice. I knew right now I was going to follow her, the minute I was done here I was on a plane. Part of me was regretting this but... well something told me to do this, to go for it. Something told me this would lead somewhere positive.
"Trevanion."
"What?" I replied my hand over my mouth as I thought of the parting kiss Alice and I had shared.
"Alice will be fine man." Dupe told me.
I didn't say anything but continued looking out to the bush. I missed her already and all I can see is her tearful expression when we said goodbye. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes and saw her beautiful blue eyes twinkling at me. I smiled and brought my wedding ring to my lips. Alice was with me, no matter where I was.
Alice's POV
I'd chosen to sit right at the back of the plane. A strategic place to sit. There was plenty of seats in front for everyone else to sit in, but also space near me if they wanted to sit with me. I was also well hidden here and if my tears refused to subside, the back was a good place to be. No one would see me and it would be so much easier to control. Charlotte was still walking around investigating the plane. I sighed, she hadn't been on a plane in a long time, of course she was excited. Liv was grabbing something out of her bag and Caroline was sat reading a magazine. I sighed and rested my hands on my bump. I looked down at my hands and smiled, this baby was gonna be a big one! I rubbed my hands idly until my wedding ring. I smiled and brought my left hand up closer to my face. I kissed the ring softly before rooting in my own bag.
One thing that I always had me and always would have with me? My engagement ring. I read the inscription. All my love forever, Danny x. I smiled and slid it onto my right hand. I'd find a chain for it later...
