My first fan fic of Detty. Was really upset when it ended and how it ended. I've been reading so many different versions of Detty stories and I love them all. So here is my attempt, set around 18 months after the last episode.

Italics are flashbacks.

Chapter 1

Betty woke with a startle, breathing heavy and tears streaming down her face. This was usual for her, as it seemed she awoke every morning in this way. Well, since a certain someone who she wanted to remain nameless upped and left. Why did he leave? This was something she still wanted so badly to know.

"Betty, I'm sorry I did this." Daniel said pointing at him self then her. "I'm sorry I let it go this far. " he said whilst packing the last of his things in such a rush he was shoving everything into his bag.

Betty just stood in the doorway of their bedroom. Their bedroom, the bedroom they shared since he came to declare his love. The flat they shared for several months living together, happy and in love. Where they had food fights and stayed in bed all day on weekends, where they painted their bedroom red to give it colour. Where they made love all night and where he said he would never leave her. Why was he leaving now.

"Daniel, what's wrong. What did I do? Where are you going?" Betty demanded trying to get Daniel to look at her. He wouldn't. " Daniel! Answer me!" she was shouting at him now, with tears falling.

Daniel gathered his bags, pushed past her and headed to the door.

"Betty. This was a mistake." Saying as he passed her.

" No. No it wasn't. I love you and you love me. Why is this happening? Tell me what is wrong." Betty said in between sobs. "Something is wrong. Tell me!"

" Betty. This is wrong. What I'm doing is wrong." Daniel was speaking into the hallway, not looking at her at all. "I don't love you and I never did." and with that he closed the door behind him and was gone.

Betty stood frozen, not quite believing what he just said. It made no sense. She didn't want to run after him, She didn't know what she wanted but the news she had that very day made her go. She had to try and get some answers. He was waiting outside with the rain pouring.

" Daniel!" she shouted running towards him not caring about the rain soaking her. He ignored her and got into a cabthat had just arrived. Has it started to drive away, Betty was still running after the car shouting his name. He never looked back at her. He was gone. Betty stood trying her best to understand what had happened. He never loved her.

This happened several months ago. She still lived in London, with her magazine doing even better than she hoped. Her boss was happy with her and she was proud of herself but it never seemed to lift her spirits. Only one thing could do that but she stopped herself in her train of thoughts. She was not going there.

As she got outfit on, make up done and breakfast made, her phone rang.

"hi Betty, good morning over there. How is my little sister doing."

"Morning Hilda, or should say night. Isn't it like 3am in the morning. Why are you awake? Oh, doesn't matter. I can hear why."

Betty replied hearing her 3 month old niece in the background crying.

"how is she doing? Can't wait to see her again." Betty really missed her family but took delight in the fact she would be with them soon.

"She is doing great Betty just keeping us awake." Hilda replied with a giggle. "Just a quick call to check you are ok?" Hilda said back. "and to check on my sister's little bundle of joy. Are you set for your flight?"

"I'm all set and Hilda he isn't little. I'm bloody huge already and he won't stop kicking." Betty replied laughing and placing a hand on her belly that was fairly swollen. "we will see you soon." Betty let Hilda go as she could hear she had her hands full with Rosa who was really going for gold crying.

" bye Betty... Ssh ssh baby girl.." Hilda said, putting down the phone and talking to her daughter.

Betty smiled, she would be home soon.

As she walked into her office which would be for the last time, she remembered the good times she had had. With her friends, late evenings working on deadlines and the number of take outs they had whilst talking about men, their dreams and well anything that didn't involve work. She giggled. She would really miss the friends she had made.

" Betty. I see you have gathered all your belongings. I'm sorry to see you go but I understand." Mr dune had walked in." you take care of that little man and keep in touch." he said whilst pointing at her bump.

" I will. And thank you for everything. I've really enjoyed my time here. Thank you so much for the opportunity." Betty replied giving Mr dune a hug. " well I guess I'm off..."

" hold your horses missy." Betty turned to see her assistant, Rachel, and the rest of the team coming towards her." You ain't going anywhere till we have all given you a big hug and had cake." Betty was so overwhelmed and burst into tears as everyone gave her hugs and kisses and wished her the best of luck.

As she was getting into the cab to go to the airport, Rachel said she would send all her gifts from the team as soon as she arrived back it was a lot of baby stuff and Betty already used her bag limit for the flight. Rachel wished her all the best and told her to send photos as soon as he enters the world.

" I will. Thank you and I am going to miss you loads." Betty gave her one last hug and wiped the tears and got into the cab, looking back and feeling proud of what she had made here. She wondered if she would come back to London one day, but right now her little guy was her main priority.

London had been amazing but she wanted her baby to be with family. Even though she knew she was more likely to bump into... him, she told herself she would worry about that later. Right now, she was happy to be going home.

Well I went through story and just adding few bits to each chapter. Thank you to all the reviews and for wanting me to continue. I'm going to do my best and get this story finished. Thank you again to all who like my story.
