"We all clear?" Dup asked as he looked around all the family. Everyone nodded, wide smiles on upon their faces. "Good, get gone!"
Everyone began to walk off slowly, tomorrow the plan came into action.

"Hectic morning eh?" Alice murmured to Danny as they walked up arm in arm from the animal hospital where they'd spent the last three hours on an emergency brought in. Alice shouldn't have been there really but she'd insisted the minute she'd found the reason Danny had been getting out of bed at five am in the morning. The problem with pregnancy... her neediness meant Danny struggled to sneak away as she refused to let go of him.
"Yep... only about to get more hectic." Danny smiled referring to the Nomsa antics. They were to casually be in town as were Liv and Thabo.
"Hmm... and so because we're going to be so busy..." Alice murmured wrapping her arms around him, "You totally want to give your wife a kiss."
"Hmm?" Danny replied teasing her slightly as he held her close to him.
"Hmm..." Alice nodded, "Because she may kidnap you if you don't..."
"That's tempting." Danny grinned wickedly knowing full well she would be getting annoyed with him.
"Daniel." Alice said in a no nonsense tone of voice.
"Yes?" Danny whispered.
"You talk far too much sometimes." Alice murmured as she wrapped her arms tighter around his neck and pulled him down to her, their lips met in perfect unison. They were caught completely in the moment until...
"OH TREVANIONS!"
Both pulled away reluctantly, looking at Dup with almost malovent stares.
"You're meant to be on the mission not eating each other's faces off! She's heading off now! So out on your VISIT!" Dup growled before placing his hands on his hips.
"You have been around Caroline too long!" Alice retorted moodily; slightly annoyed at having her moment with Danny spoilt, "Come on D." Alice smiled taking his hand.

Charlotte gulped; she so hoped she did not mess this up; trust Dup to hear a conversation she'd been having with Liv, told her Mum who then wanted all the gossip and now Nomsa was being brought into it! Though thankfully the whole story was over exaggerated.
"Nomsa." Charlotte mumbled walking into the kitchen. She noticed Dup and Liv hiding round the corner.
"Yes?" Nomsa asked as she picked up her bag.
"Can I ask you some advice on um... boyfriends." Charlotte said, god, it was a good job she was good as drama!
"Oh... erm... well maybe you should erm..." Nomsa stammered, "you know your Mum or Liv would know more... than I do." By this stage Nomsa was reddening slightly.
"Mum I can't find her and Liv will laugh... do you think I'm too young and how do you like... you know... what do you do? I proper like this boy at school... we call him Satty because he loves Satsuma oranges." Charlotte struggled not to smirk at Nomsa's awkwardness. "Should I tell him..."
"I... um... I gotta go shopping... sorry Charlotte, ask your Mum when she comes home." Nomsa said before quickly mumbling a quick goodbye and fleeing from the house. Charlotte bit her lip in an attempt not to laugh as she turned to Dup and Liv and gave the pair a thumbs up.
"Charlie that was brill!" Liv exclaimed, "TOO funny!"
"Tell me about it!" Charlotte giggled as all three of them fell into a fit of hysterics... Nomsa was so totally rumbled.

An hour of driving round, well 'driving round' for Danny and Alice had finally led them to township and in particular to the market where they were under the pretence of grabbing some lunch before heading off to an appointment Alice had (the reason Liv and Thabo were also going to come to the township later on). The couple were walking around lazily hand in hand, talking avidly as they acted as normal as possible. Smiling and greeting people as many of the kind hearted locals passed many well wishes to the pair and enquired about the baby.
"Baby Trevanion is a little celebrity." Danny smiled squeezing his wife's hand as they walked towards the fruit stall.
"Aye." Alice replied nodding in agreeance; gently running a hand over her bump affectionately, she stopped and pointed to the fruit stall causing Danny to smirk. "Let's go."
As the pair walked forward slowly and quietly being as careful as ever not to be seen; they noticed Nomsa and her lover passing Satsuma's to one another, their hands lingering slightly. Both smirked, trying their damn hardest not to laugh or snigger.
"Nomsa!" Danny exclaimed under the pretence of shock.
"Danny... I..." Nomsa began to stammer as her hands quickly flew away from the mans.
"We didn't realise you'd still be out shopping, you've been shopping so much recently!" Alice smiled, "And there's been so many satsuma's too, is this the supplier?"
"Yes, my name is Nelson, Nelson Tshabalala. I own this fruit store." Nelson smiled offering his hand to both Danny and Alice who took it happily enough.
"Danny and Alice Trevanion." Danny grinned, "We've just come to pick up an apple, someone." He smiled looking down at Alice as he placed his arm around her, "Wishes for an apple!"
"The baby wants an apple." Alice corrected him, tapping his nose playfully as they put on a display of public and rather sickly affection; they usually saved the cheesy, sickly kind to the refinements of their bedroom or the animal hospital. The grounds at a push but in the township; never!
Nelson smiled slightly as he noticed Nomsa blushing bright red; he quickly bagged an apple up for Alice and offered it the pair on the house.
"Oh! Thank you! Somebody must be a lucky lady! You're a gentleman!" Alice exclaimed before winking at Nomsa, "See you later."
"Bye." Danny repeated, before the pair walked off only managing to contain their laughter for a couple of minutes before they too burst out into an uncontrollable laughter.
(x)
"They know!" Nomsa cried.
"You need to tell them." Nelson replied, taking her hands over the fruit stall. He picked up a Satsuma in one hand, "Here... take this. Every time you eat one remember... it symbolizes my love for you!"
Nomsa sighed and nodded, she would tell the family... as soon as she knew how to that is!
