Hello - gonna update this one! Thank you Ellie for helping me choose which fic to update hehe!
"Mrs Trevanion, please, enough of your lies and deceit, you have done enough of that, we have evidence here that proves you not only lied and wasted police time, you assaulted Miss Collins intentionally."
Sarah rolled her eyes as the officer threw papers down in front of her. She knew only one person could be behind this… Evan. How could he? How could he do this to her, she wondered. She was his mum - he should stick with her!
"Fine - what if I did, that bitch stole my husband!" Sarah bellowed at the officer.
"Doesn't mean you can attack people Mrs Trevanion. It's going to be a lot easier for you if you tell us the truth."
"What about my daughter?" Sarah asked, for a split moment having some genuine concern for her beloved daughter.
"She's going back to her father." The officer said bluntly. "You need to tell us the truth."

Danny stood looking out onto the veranda. He had received a phone call late last night, well he had thought it was late but it turned out that everyone had just gone to bed early. It had been Rosie, she was coming back to visit - today!
"Hmm, you're up early." Alice mumbled as she threw her arms around him, he turned to face her slowly and pressed his lips against her own.
"Guess I'm excited." Danny laughed, pushing a strand of lose hair back behind Alice's ear, he stroked her face gently, Alice's heart flipped as his smooth hands caressed her face lovingly. She threw her arms further round his back and slid her hands into his jean pockets, both stood there happily for a number of minutes.
Alice suddenly turned to face Danny, he looked at her in alarm, startled by her quick movements.
"Danny - how did Rosie react to Sarah?" Alice asked nervously, she'd never met Rosie and truth be told she had a sudden nervousness.
"Badly." Danny admitted truthfully. "She gave her a terrible time."
Alice gazed up at Danny with a terrified expression, a sadness in her eyes. "What if she hates me? She probably doesn't even know who I am!"
Danny took both her hands and looked into her eyes.
"She's older now, she won't."
"But, what if she does? Oh Danny, I don't want to lose you." Alice cried, tightening her grip on Danny's hands.
"Don't be silly! You won't lose me - I'll do whatever it takes to hold on to your love Alice, no one will split us up… trust me, now stop worrying!" Danny reassured her pulling her into his embrace, he stroked her hair gently, and kissed the crown of her head adoringly.
"Thanks Danny." Alice whispered.
"No thanks needed, I love you Alice." Danny replied, kissing her quickly yet meaningfully. He grabbed her hand and they slowly walked towards the animal hospital ready to get on with their chores.
--
"Max! You know you're way to Leopards Den!" Rosie laughed. She was highly excited to be going back to her home. She'd left just before the rabies outbreak to go to university. She was looking forward to seeing everyone… even Sarah!
"I do!" Max said triumphantly as they pulled into the drive, Rosie rolled her eyes. She smiled as she saw the animal hospital. Max stopped her car outside of it and jumped out, following his wife Rosie who was already galloping towards the doors.
Suddenly she stopped dead… her face falling in a mixture of hurt and confusion.
--
"Thank you Sarah. That will do for today." The officer snarled as he handed Sarah back her posessions. Sarah had admitted everything she had done, and the officer had outlined her with her likely sentence. A restraining order, and possible jail, at least a suspended sentence, not to mention a hefty fine and a record. She sighed - she never wanted this to happen, what had she been thinking. Maybe Danny was better off with Alice.
--
"Come here Miss Collins." Danny laughed teasingly, as Alice made her way towards him.
"What?" Alice asked as he took her in his arms.
"You're just irresistible!" Danny playfully giggled. Alice smiled.
They both began to kiss hungrily, they completely forgot about everything else in the world, the only two people in the world at the moment were themselves. If only that was true.
The door opened sharply, a figure was walking in, a young woman, but she stopped abruptly as she saw her father stuck in a passionate and close embrace with a woman, a woman she did not know.
"What the hell?" Rosie screamed as Danny and Alice quickly pulled away in shock. Alice looked at Danny, worry in her beautiful eyes, Danny reassured her with one look but Alice was still not convinced.
"Rosie…" Danny started.
"This best be good dad!" Rosie bellowed. "What about Sarah."
She noticed the beautiful woman stood beside her dad grimace slightly, she also noticed her dad wore an expression of disgust, as though the name brought anger and annoyance to his soul.
"Sarah and I are divorced. This is Alice… I know this will seem strange Rosie but… well… I… love her." Danny struggled to string his sentence together, Alice looked up at him adoringly.
"Divorced? God." Rosie gasped, she held her hand out to Alice. "Pleased to meet you Alice, I'm Rosie."
"The pleasures all mine." Alice replied, beaming a classic Alice smile at Rosie.
"But why didn't you tell me dad?" Rosie asked, hurt. Danny sighed, he hadn't told her as he didn't want to bore her with his life.
"I didn't want to bore you." Danny muttered.
"You're my dad." Rosie whispered quietly. "How could you keep that from me?"
"I…" Danny was lost for words, but Alice picked him up.
"He didn't mean to Rosie." Alice took a deep breath. "But, Sarah's been causing us so much hell, she's crazy, de-ranged, the hyena's are more sensitive… Rosie, I know you probably think I'm intruding, but I promise you, I'm not. I love your dad, and I know… I know he didn't tell you, because… he was trying to protect you from Sarah, and he didn't want to bore you with the facts of his life, he's more interested in yours, because… he's your dad and… he loves you."
Rosie looked to her husband who flashed her a smile. She raised her shoulders as she took a deep breath. How did her dad land on his feet so well? Alice was perfect for her dad, and she seemed pretty nice. Rosie had first felt anger but now she felt… happy for them.
Rosie nodded and began to hug her dad, before hugging a startled Alice.
"This is Max, my husband." Rosie said finally introducing the handsome young man stood behind her. As he shook hands with Alice, Danny took Alice's other hand.
"Shall we go see the rest of the family?" Danny asked.
"Definitely!" Rosie shouted, excitedly.
--
As Danny and Alice retired to their room for the night, Alice was wearing a huge grin.
"Told you Rosie would be fine!" Danny said in his 'I told you so' manner.
"Yeh yeh!" Alice laughed, "She's great!"
"Sure is, she approves of you! She hated Sarah!" Danny laughed.
"Well it's not hard to see why!" Alice bitterly mumbled.
Danny sat on the bed, Alice sat on his knee, gently stroking his face.
"You're the best you know that?" Alice smiled.
Danny didn't reply verbally but injected an immediate feeling of immense pleasure into Alice as he crashed his lips against hers - he didn't care what happened anymore - as long as he had Alice by his side he would fight anything.
I'm sorry that's really a bad chapter! I have terrible writer's block :'(
