Caroline's POV

Talking with Anders had been lovely; hearing his excited voice as he told me about all the happenings over there and how they'd won Leopards Den back. I had made my way back downstairs and observed Alice. She seemed surprisingly ok to say that her husband had faced a gun and almost got himself shot by the sounds of things. If I was her I'd be going a little bit mad and demanding he got on a plane over here right now, then again, Danny and Alice aren't exactly normal. I then realised I had Danny hanging on the other end of the phone. I'd promised to put him back onto Alice, though I had a feeling he'd have Alice, Olivia and Charlotte as at the minute all three were caught up in a group hug.

"Alice... Danny." I smiled signalling to the phone. She grinned and took the phone from my hands. She looked at Olivia and Charlotte, chuckling as they didn't move away from her but in fact closer. I smiled and sat down with Georgina, excitedly telling her about all that Anders and I had discussed.

Danny's POV

I seriously hoped Dupe hadn't told Caroline about the guns, or at least remembered what I'd said if he did tell her. God, I hope he'd told her not to tell Alice if he had. She had enough to worry about without worrying over something that hadn't happened and wasn't going to. As Caroline handed the phone back to Alice, I heard a slight pause before Alice let out a small giggle. I smiled, that laugh, so additive and intriguing.

"What you giggling at Mrs Trevanion?" I asked her before she could say a word.

"Charlie and Liv, may as well be sitting on my knee!" She replied, the laughter evident in her sweet, melodic tone. "I think they have something to say to you."

I paused for a moment as I heard Alice say something about ear plugs and please refrain from deafening me. I smiled to myself but soon cringed as I realised what my wife had meant.

"DANNY! YOU'RE TOTALLY AWESOME! WE LOVE YOU!"

I laughed to myself as I managed to work out those words amongst their excited shouts and screams. I was just pleased that they were happy and to be honest, judging by the sounds coming through the phone they were more than happy.

After a few minutes they returned me to Alice. I chatted to her about anything and everything at the same time as I clicked around on the computer at Fatani's. He'd said use it to book some tickets. I looked across to Dupe who gave me a look that said it all. No way. I smiled and began to search for tickets.

"Heathrow, we can get the first flight out to there on..." I clicked the dates and grinned, well maybe me and Thabo could have little fun... "in 5 days time..."

"5 days time?" Alice exclaimed, "That's ages away..." She murmured sadly. I suddenly felt slightly bad but decided she'd see it as worth it in the end.

"It'll be here soon, I promise." I thought, yes, we'd be boarding the flight in five hours!

"Hmm... you got Georgina's address haven't you just in case?" Alice asked me, her tone still down.

"Yeh, Alice it'll be here in no time!" I beamed.

"I know, I know, it's just, you know. I'm missing you!" She laughed. I chuckled too, the feeling was so very mutual!

Alice's POV

After speaking to Danny for an hour and with him having arranged the tickets for his flight out here, I'd finally managed to make my way back into the conversation. Caroline was talking about this big thing about the rhino horns. I was intrigued. Danny had made it sound... less dramatic.

As I listened I thought of Danny, he'd be here in just five days. It seemed ages but I knew it would fly. Then we'd be together again and one thing I knew for sure? I never wanted to be apart from him again. I'd rather lose my arm than not have him by my side. I missed the silly little chats, the subtle little embraces, the casual hugs, kisses, hand holding. I missed his smell, his looks, his accent. I even missed his over protective ways. As the baby kicked, I put my hand to the same spot and felt it upon my hand. I smiled... Danny sometimes accidently kicked me when we were sleeping. That's one of the silly little things we argue about good naturedly... who's the most restless sleeper. We're both pretty restless (unless we fall asleep together then we seem fine) but he thinks I'm worse than him. Apparently my talking is infuriating as is my constant rolling over. But to be honest, being kicked and murmured too is way more annoying. I smiled before focussing back on the attention.

"Well... apparently they came with guns. Anders said if it hadn't been for Thabo and Fatani coming with the police well, he doesn't know what would have happened."

I frowned and sat up. My eyes bugging wide. Guns? Police? Don't know what would have happened? I gasped and tried to speak but I was failing.

"Guns?" I managed to force out eventually. "Danny never mentioned anything about guns."

I watched Caroline's face and it became obvious she thought I knew. I felt anger but also sadness. Possibilities spun through my mind. What if? I closed my eyes and placed my face in my hands.

"He probably didn't want to worry you or wanted to, unlike Anders, tell you in person?" Caroline suggested, but I just shook my head.

"Excuse me." I said abruptly standing up and grabbing my phone. I saw Charlotte and Liv sit up but quickened my pace. As I reached my room, I stood by the window and looked out over the countryside. The number dialled and Danny soon answered.

"Missing me already?" He asked lightly. I frowned to myself, how could he be so light hearted?

"Danny, what's this about guns?" I asked.

And suddenly there was silence but for his heavy breathing...
