Danny was sat next to his sleeping wife. The doctors had said she'd been improving gradually and had been showing more and more signs of waking up. She was going to wake up, that was for sure, the damage would be mentally no doubt. He swallowed as he watched Robert sleeping. He'd been such a fool to allow Leopards Den to keep him apart from two of the most important people in his life. Yes, she'd ruined the perfect plan but he should have been there for her - Alice didn't just make rash decisions, not those type anyway.

Suddenly, Alice began to twitch. Danny gasped, his breath catching, he reached forward to take her hand when suddenly her twitching turned into thrashing. Her face twisted and contorted as she appeared to fight something. Danny ran to the door and shouted for a doctor. Within moments, a doctor and three nurses had arrived and another was pushing him away. Panic filled him as he clutched Robert to his chest, he was walking backwards until she screamed his name.

"I'm here!" He called fighting the nurse but failing as she put him outside and told him to wait. He paced, his son close to his chest. Robert was somehow still asleep but Danny couldn't settle... what had been going on?

Rosie grinned as she noticed Max. She couldn't wait to spend more time with him, get to know him again. She just wanted to be back to how they were.

"Hey!" Rosie called rushing over to him and kissing him chastely.

"Hey." Max smiled, his heart lurching at her soft touch.

"I'm glad you're back."

"Listen Rosie, I was thinking, why don't we go from the beginning?"

"But, what about getting things back to how they were?" Rosie questioned in confusion.

"It can't go back to that, we've moved on. I want us to work." He told her with passion, "But that means taking this slow and getting to knowing each other again." He paused a moment before taking her hands, "Rosie, I want to fall in love with you again."

"But we love each other already..."

"That's it!" He stressed, "We love each other. If you asked your Dad about his relationship with Alice what would he say?"

"Well, husband and wife, in love."

"Exactly." Max said, "We love each other, that doesn't mean we are in love."

Rosie dropped his hands, obviously hurt. Although the words made sense, coming from him they didn't. She'd never fallen out of love with him - she did love him. Yes, she accepted getting to know each other but to fall IN love again?

"Maybe we should reconsider if this is what you want." Rosie spat before walking away, leaving a heartbroken Max clutching his head in his hands.

"Mr Trevanion?"

Danny spun and rushed to the Nurse who had just called his name, Robert was awake now and looked to her with wide eyes - unsure of who this woman was.

"Your wife is awake now. She came from a dream it seems which was probably about the accident. As you can imagine, the damage to the mind is often far-"

"I know all about it. I was in the fire with her." Danny halted her, "Can I see her?"

"Yes, but she is tired." The nurse smiled, "We'll be through to run assessments and tests on her in a couple of hours. We'll then discuss the treatment and the future."

Danny nodded before walking past her and into his wife's room. Tears welled as he saw her with her eyes open. She looked exhausted and more ill than he could ever remember her looking but god, did she look beautiful. She turned tiredly as he approached, a small smile coming to her lips as her tired looking eyes lit up.

"Danny." She croaked, reaching out lethargically with her hand.

"Alice." He breathed, taking her hand and bringing it to his lips, "I've been so worried about you."

Alice smiled, "Robert."

Danny lifted Robert to sit on the bed next his Mum and almost immediately, Robert had his arms wrapped around Alice, clutching to her tightly. A single tear rolled down Danny's cheek as her observed the bond between them in it's full beauty. After a few moments, Alice pulled away, obviously tired from the hug.

"Don't I get a hug and a kiss?" Alice asked Danny weakly.

"The doctor said not to over exert you." Danny mentioned.

"Did the doctor mention that you are my medicine?" Alice smirked cheekily.

Danny laughed before kissing her lips chastely, and wrapping his arms around her so tenderly, careful not to hurt her. They stayed in their embrace for a few moments before Alice yawned and Danny gently pulled away, slowly lowering her down onto the bed.

"Sleep." Danny smiled, "We'll be here."

"Charlie..." Alice murmured.

"I'll go ring home too." Danny whispered, kissing her forehead.

"Love you." She slurred as sleep took over.

"I love you too... more than you could ever imagine."

A/N - So Alice is awake, but is she going to be ok?
