A new one :')

Stephen T's MSN interview suggested that Leopards Den comes under threat… so…I'm gonna expand on that story line. This is basically set a year after Danice's engagement and wedding plans are well underway, everything seems perfect, not Leopards Den perfect but perfect… but will a drunken mistake made by Dupe haunt the happiness?

Alice's POV

Wow, one month and I'm going to be Mrs Alice Trevanion. That's amazing to say the least. I love Danny so much, and we've been engaged a whole year! I remember everything like it was yesterday, every little detail, I even know what underwear he was wearing, but considering I don't know if you're old enough to know, I will not tell you just how I know that.

I looked across at Danny ,he was feeding one of the lion cubs that had come in. Their mother had died during the birth and it was now up to me and Danny to raise them. They were comical really and we'd named all four of them after our own children, as they really did resemble them.

First there was Rosie, the oldest female cub and the wittiest, she was quite stubborn but so passionate about everything she did, and she wasn't greedy either, she ate enough to fill her belly and that was it. Then there was Charlotte, the smallest and youngest cub. She loved affection and would happily sit with you all day, providing you fed her of course! Third of all, we had Evan, the only male cub, he was a massive cub and tall for his age, he was sweet and caring but could have a bit of a temper at times. And finally Olivia, the lightest coloured coat, and the most elegant of the cubs.

I wandered over to where Danny was, he was feeding Charlotte, it always makes me smile to myself when I say he's feeding, it makes the kids sound like their babies, or it makes Danny sound highly perverted!

"Hey." I said gently placing my hands on his shoulders as I stood behind him, looking down at the cub. Danny was knelt down and he was still nearly as tall as me!

"Hi, you wanna feed Liv? Ive done Evan and Rosie." Danny said innocently, I nodded grabbing Liv, before bursting out into laughter.

"Oh Danny, you really don't know how wrong that sounds!" I laughed. "Really, why did we name em after the kids? It's making everything sound wrong, and making us sound like two highly perverted paretns!"

"I know! I keep saying to myself stop thinking that Danny! Though they all do resemble their human clone!" He laughed, as he placed Charlotte back down, I set Liv down too.

"Oh well, we'll just have to make sure childline don't hear us!" I teased.

"Parentline more like!" Danny chuckled rolling his eyebrows. He took me into his arms, I slid my arms around his back. "I love you Alice Trevanion to be!"

"I love you too Mr Trevanion!" I grinned happily as we began to kiss passionately in the animal hospital. I loved it when we kissed like this, when we kissed like two hungry teenagers but with added sophistication, however I didn't love the fact we were interrupted.

"Danny, Alice… oh! I'm gonna get you two a bloody radar!" We turned round to see Dupe standing at the door, we both looked down, I could feel my face turning bright red.

"What is it Dupe?" Danny asked he still kept his arm around my back, his hand still remained in my back pocket.

"Well I'm off out tonight, and wondered if you two would like to come or not? No ones coming." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Sorry Dupe, we've planned a quiet night in together." Danny said. "Next time though! don't do anything stupid Dupe!"

"I won't! Just sing and get drunk! You two have fun! I'll get back to work!" He grinned leaving us too it.

"A quiet night in? Leopards Den, quiet?" I giggled.

"Okay! But he'll want to play poker and there's no chance im risking anything! Especially our wedding!" He grinned, my heart filled with love as Danny said this I kissed him chastely before smiling.

"Come along Mr Trevanion, we have the Jeeps to wash." I smiled.

"We do, I'll race you to the house." He grinned miscehviously."But you;ve got lanky legs!" I protested.

"10 second head start, 10,9,8,7,6,5.…" I began to run up the lawn laughing but I soon heard Danny's laughter as he was hot on my heels as we raced to the house… life is perfect.

A short opener with plenty of Danice!
