7 – In your arms

"Tired?"

Danny smiled as he glanced down at his wife; she nodded slowly, suppressing an ever so slight yawn as she pulled herself even closer to him, burying her head even further into his chest as a result. She'd finally returned home to Africa just that afternoon and ever since their sweet and long awaited, passionate reunion, the pair had been inseparable; the 8 weeks without one another had left the both of them longing for the other and with that cruel period of time still fresh in their minds, both were eager to make up for their lost time.

"I'm comfy." Alice stated simply as she closed her eyes, savouring the feel of Danny's arms around her. Throughout her 8 weeks all she'd longed for was to be back in his arms. She'd become increasingly needy as her pregnancy had worn on but now, heavily pregnant and due in just a week, Alice's needy moods has reached new heights, the usually independent woman now relied heavily upon her husband.

Danny chuckled slightly as he kissed her hair gently, nuzzling slightly with his nose as he inhaled the beautiful scent of her shampoo... strawberries. He sighed softly; he'd missed her... so, so much.

"Come on... it's late... bed time." Danny whispered to her, stroking her cheek tenderly with one hand. She grumbled before slowly pushing herself upwards, stretching slightly as she looked to him with tired, blue eyes. His smile infected her immediately as he smirked at her current state. He'd always found her to be amusing when tired.

Alice took her face into his hands, tracing his jaw with one finger before rubbing her hands gently upon his cheeks.

"You need a shave." She murmured, gently rubbing his face.

"I know." Danny replied rubbing his chin, "Though you told me you liked stubble."

"Short stubble..." Alice corrected with a cheeky smile, "Yours is getting too long."

"But then you moan that it's all rough and..."

"No..." Alice whined, "That's not short stubble that's growing stubble."

"Your logic Alice..." Danny laughed, "So I've to either be clean shaven or I've to make it grow immensely quickly but halt it at your desired length?"

"Yes." Alice replied with a nod, kissing him upon the lips gently. "Anyway, bed!" She announced, Danny stood up before taking her hands helping her to her feet. Both grinned widely as they joined hands immediately. "Kitchen." Alice murmured as she glanced around the empty lounge.

"Yeh... best say our goodnights. There's only Dup, Caroline, Liv and Thabo up now though." Danny replied as they began to stroll casually through the house. As they approached the kitchen they noticed the four laughing and joking over a few alcoholic drinks. The pair grinned as they made their way forward, it seemed so natural for all the family to be reunited.

"We're off to bed guys." Alice informed them as the two couples turned to face them.

"We're exhausted." Danny added, "Goodnight."

A murmur of night came from around the table before the previous conversation was quickly resumed. Danny shook his head slightly before gently leading Alice to their room. After usual night time routines (which had been well missed in their absence), it was no time at all before the pair were in bed.

"I'll set this alarm..." Alice sighed as she turned her back to Danny, reaching over to set the alarm the pair had grown to hate so much. As she began to settle down, Danny carefully wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck ever so softly. "Hmmm." Alice murmured as she closed her eyes.

"That's the best feeling ever..." Danny whispered to her as the pair closed their eyes, savouring the feel of one another once again.

"Yep... I'm happy." Alice smiled as her hands clutched his, both pairs of hands rested upon where their baby grew.

"Me too." Danny whispered back.

"To be back in your arms, where I belong." Alice replied quietly, before turning her head slightly. "I love you Mr Trevanion..."

"I love you Mrs Trevanion." Danny grinned before leaning down and gently kissing her, "Goodnight."

Just minutes later the pair were asleep, happy and content for the first time since their parting... all because they were back where they belonged – in one another's arms.

A/N – Not overly happy with this but nevermind!
