Oh Brother

COLLAB FIC: Me & Nat :D

Everyone at Leopards Den seems happy, love is flourishing between Liv and Thabo and Danny and Alice have never been happier, but one person doesn't share their joy. How much trouble will he cause and will he ever come to accept their way of life?

Daniel Robert Trevanion. Alice smiled contently to herself as she looked down at her beautiful baby boy who was sleeping in her arms. She looked up at Danny, who had his arm over her shoulder, and grinned softly at him as he smiled back, squeezing her shoulder gently. Just a small distance ahead of them the Christening party was in full swing and the usual grass that sat between the house and the animal hospital had been replaced by people, banners and all the other connotations that arrived with celebrations.

Danny looked down at his son before gently trailing a finger down his soft cheek. His son was so, so beautiful. His carbon copy of his mother's eyes, his dark hair that resembled his mother's sticking up in small tufts and then of course his own facial features – well according to Alice and everyone else anyway! He was perfect.

The christening had gone without a hitch and Daniel had behaved like a little saint – except for trying to steal the vicar's glasses, but that just made the Christening all that more special – and it also proved the young lad was a comedian already!

"It's a shame Evan couldn't make it." Danny murmured pressing a kiss to Alice's cheek as she leaned further back into him.

"Yeh it is." Alice replied as her gaze fell onto Thabo and Liv. She sighed and smiled a little wider; they were so cute! She watched as they danced and had fun, every now and then they'd look around before sharing a quick kiss. "Least we have nearly all the family here."

"Yeh." Danny smiled as he saw Rosie and Max walking over. Rosie adored Daniel and had even nicknamed him DJ for short which had touched both Danny and Alice. "And everyone's happy..."

"Yep... Liv and Thabo seem really happy and settled. He's a good lad you know Danny." Alice told him, the tone of her voice adding a secret meaning, a meaning that Danny fully understood.

"I know." Danny admitted, "I like him. He's one of the family and as long as Liv's happy and he doesn't hurt her I don't mind them having a relationship. She's growing up." He smiled before looking down at his wife, he was happy to be greeted by a quick kiss upon the lips.

It was at such a point Rosie and Max finally reached them. Rosie began to coo over Daniel immediately and was more than happy to take him upon Alice's offer. Danny and Alice watched in awe as they watched brother and sister bond. Max seemed happy to, watching Rosie bonding with the small boy. As Rosie and Max got caught up in their own conversation, Danny turned to Alice.

"Do you want a drink?" Danny murmured.

"Sure, I'll come with you." She whispered back, before raising her tone once more, "I'm sure Rosie won't mind holding her little brother whilst we grab a drink!"

"Definitely not! Go!" Rosie beamed, "Though be warned, I may kidnap him, he is seriously so cute! Oh and so, so gorgeous... obviously Alice's genes!"

Danny and Alice rolled their eyes before wandering off hand in hand however neither could have been prepared for what happened next...

(Meanwhile as all of this is happening...)

Liv looked up towards Thabo, meeting his gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. She smiled and tightened her hold of him, snaking her arms even further around his neck. She looked around and saw Alice had her eye on them. She sighed, ok so Alice didn't mind but didn't make it any better or easier!

"Thaaaabooo?" Liv smirked drawing out his name.

"Yeeeeeeees?" Thabo replied mocking her slightly.

"How about we go out of the way of the party for you know um... some air." She grinned making quotation marks with her fingers in the air.

"I like you're thinking!" Thabo beamed as Liv took his hand and dragged down to the trees where all they thought would be quiet...
