It hadn't taken them long at all. They soon arrived at their destination, which the sat nav continued to remind them.

"this is is it" Alice said, turning to look at Danny, as he turned off the engine. "you ready?"

"more than ever" Danny replied, letting out a small smile to reassure her.

She gave him a slight kiss on the lips, before clambering out of the vehicle. She headed straight for the front door, inhaled deeply and pushed the doorbell.

"Hello Terry" Alice said, as he opened his front door

"Alice" Terry nodded. He didn't seem surprised to see her at all. Maybe he had expected it. This day had to come sooner or later. Alice had only had the chance to visit her daughter once since the couple split, and that had ended in an argument.

"ah. And who's this you've brought along then? your father?" Terry chuckled to himself, as he noticed Danny step out of the jeep.

"Terry you know very bloody well that's he's not my father so don't start" Alice snapped. This was another reason they had split. Terry always thought he was clever, better than everyone else.

"new boyfriend then? my god, you don't hang about do you. But then again, you always were a slag" Terry cackled.

Danny couldn't stand anymore of his cockiness. He had only spoke for a few seconds and he was already beginning to get to him "would you like to say that again" He barked at him, moving himself closer to Terry. Looking down on him like a child.

Alice could see a fight coming on, Terry would certainly say it again. It's how he was. Full of pure cockiness. "Terry, don't bother, We've not come here to argue or fight with you. Please for Belle's sake"

Terry backed down from Danny, but keeping his guard up, remaining his eyes fixed on him.

"now can we come in and talk?" Alice asked, breaking the tension between the two.

"You've got 5 minutes" Terry told them, and then let them inside.

"thank you" She replied.

"Bella!" Alice called as she caught sight of her daughter coming down the stairs.

"Mummy!" Bella drawled as she slid across the hallway, jumping into her mothers arms.

"how are you sweetheart?" Alice asked her. Holding on tight to her little girl. Smoothing down her soft straight brown hair, and brushing her fringe off her eyes slightly.

"I'm ok. Where's Charlie?" Her little girl questioned. She was clearly missing her sister a lot. Not only was she her sister though, she was her twin. Her other half. Twins were supposed to be inseparable. And that's what Bella and Charlie had been, until the divorce had caused them to be split.

"Charlie's at home sweetie, she couldn't come today"

"why not?" Bella asked her mum, gazing up into her deep blue eyes, as if they hold the answer to everything.

Alice could feel the pain that her girls were feeling from this divorce. She hated that they were apart. "Because I've come to speak to Ter... I mean Dad"

"Oh" Bella mumbled, fixing her eyes to the floor.

"Belle this is Danny" Alice told her, turning to look at Danny. She hoped that this would perk Bella up a little.

"Hello" Bella greeted him, holding a big grin upon her face.

Danny's heart melted as her big emerald eyes shined back at him. He couldn't help but feel so much love for her. He felt more determined than ever to get her back. His own daughter. "Nice to meet you Bella" Danny said smiling, holding out his hand for her to shake.

Bella gripped hold, as the pair of them shook hands. "You've got big hands Danny"

"Annabelle!" Alice said, trying not to giggle at her daughters remark.

"Sorry" Bella giggled, looking up at Danny. He seemed huge compared to her.

"that's ok sweetie" Danny giggled, ruffling up Bella's hair.

"right, I think that's enough" Terry butted in. Danny calling Bella sweetie had certainly got to him. He was a very protective man. "Annabelle go upstairs to your bedroom"

"Terry" Alice said, holding onto her little girl.

"but why dad?" Bella asked, tears welling up in her eyes. She barely got to see her mother as it was.

"I'm not going to tell you again, go upstairs. I need to speak to your mother" Terry demanded, pointing in the direction of the stairs. Bella knew not to argue with her father. She turned to face her mother, hoping she'd argue back with him.

Alice shot dagger eyes at Terry. He had never treated the girls right and she hated it. More than anything. She needed to get her daughter back with her. He had no rights anymore. "just go wait upstairs baby, don't worry I'll come see you in a minute when I've spoken to your dad" Alice reassured her daughter. Kissing her slightly on her head.

"Ok then mum" Bella replied and she scuttled back upstairs.

"Go through" Terry said, leading them into the kitchen. "Right then, I'm guessing I know what you're here for"

"Well you have got my daughter Terry. What else would i want to come back to this place for"

"I get that Alice, but you could have arranged something with me first. I don't like you just coming in like this whenever you feel like it. It messes up Annabelle's routine"

"I'm her mother. You forcing for the twins to be split apart was messing up her routine!" Alice snapped back.

"I think I'm entitled to have one of my children, if not both. Which by the way, I don't thinks fair that you didn't bring Charlotte to come and see me"

"Well that's what we're here for" Danny butted in, He couldn't help but say something, Terry was making his bloody boil. "you and your 'so called' entitlements ..you're not their father"

"what have you got yourself here Alice, some sort of loon? Of course I'm their father" Terry once again cackled to himself.

"Danny I thought we weren't going to burst in here and tell him like that" Alice tried to whisper, but of course, the slight anger in her voice had caused Terry to hear every word.

"I'm sorry Alice but I can't bare to think of somebody else bringing up my own flesh and blood"

"his own flesh and blood? How's that even possible?" Terry laughed. Not taking a word of what Danny had just said serious.

"I used to know him many a while ago" Alice told him. "We were going out. And that's when I got pregnant..."

"But you got pregnant when we were together?" Terry frowned, hoping that this was their way of trying to 'bribe' Bella from him.

"No. I was already 6 weeks pregnant. I'm surprised you didn't notice the bump. I'm so sorry it had to turn out like this Terry. I didn't mean it to at all"

"I hope this isn't some kind of sick joke Alice?" Terry croaked. Although it may seem to Alice that he didn't treat the girls 'properly', it didn't mean that he didn't love them. He brought them up for 10 whole years. 10 precious years of their lives and they meant the world to him. In fact they were pretty much the only real family he thought he still had.

"I am so so sorry" Alice replied, going to put her arm around Terry. She hated this. She knew that she had just broken Terry's heart. She shouldn't have lead him to believe that the twins were his daughters.

He wasn't having any of this though. The anger was raging through his blood. He was like a volcano ready to explode. The veins on his forehead were beginning to show, as he just got angrier, and angrier. He had completely put the sadness that had taken over him to the back of his mind and changed it to fury.
