Alice's POV

The day had been a long one. Danny and Thabo's surprising yet amazing arrival had disturbed everyone's world and chatter, introductions and greetings had dragged on long into the night. Celebrations had been had. Laughter had been heard. But there was of course two people missing... Dupe and Nomsa.

I'd been leaning on Danny when apparently I was starting to fall asleep. Of course, this was what Danny said and I'd insisted that I was fine but he'd not taken any notice and after a few good nights he'd led me caringly up to the room we were to share at Georgina's. Holding his hand again was magical. I don't think I'd ever grasped his hand so tightly or kept hold of it for long. It felt as though letting go of his hand would make him disappear. I wanted to hold him forever and ever, just to make sure he's here, he's real.

After a quick change, we both clambered into bed. I snuggled closer to him, resting my head on his chest as his arms kept a firm hold of me. I sighed with contentment. I felt safe, protected, loved. I'd missed my husband's presence, I'd missed the way he made me feel, I missed all our little moments and having him by my side. My life was now so intertwined with his, without him nothing fit.

"Alice... what are we going to do?" Danny asked me quietly as he pressed a kiss into my hair.

"What do you mean?" I asked looking up at him whilst circling my fingers on his chest.

"Well you know... are we going back soon? Baby here? Baby there? Alice, we do have a lot to discuss." He said, his serious tone well and truly on. I sighed and propped myself up on my elbow.

"I know... well I have promised Liv a trip to see Evan and I have a check-up at doctors tomorrow..." I sighed and shook my head. "What do you think Danny?"

"I'm going to follow you. Alice I'm not going to leave you again..." His hand fell onto my bump. "I shouldn't have left you in the first place." He murmured sadly.

"What? But you got Leopards Den back! Well kind of back..." I protested. Was he crazy? Of course, it had been hard to leave one another and of course a part of me had felt a pang of disappointment but if I hadn't been pregnant and if the rest of the family hadn't need me I'd have probably been there with him. He'd followed me true to his word.

"Leopards Den is a place Alice, you're a person, a beautiful person, my wife, and you're carrying our child... I should have been there to protect you." He replied, looking down. I shook my head and placed my hand on his cheek and lifted his face up so his eyes met mine.

"What from Georgina?" I laughed, he didn't even smirk. I sighed and forced his eyes to meet mine once more. "Danny." He tried to look away once more. "Danny!" His eyes slowly met mine. "Look, it was hard leaving one another but you did the right thing. I told you to go because I trusted you. You have protected us, you won us our home back, and that's what Leopards Den is Danny, it's our home. You're always with me Danny."

"You forgive me?" He asked.

"Danny, I have nothing to forgive you for... except the guns... but I suppose I forgive you for that one!" I laughed, finally he laughed too. "As for the baby, well let's go this check up tomorrow see where we stand. Personally, I think we should go home but you know how it is..."

"I agree." Danny smiled. I grinned and kissed him gently, as I pulled away he smiled and ran his hands through my hair. "I've missed you so much Mrs Trevanion."

"I've missed you too..." I replied before resting my head on the pillow once more, Danny did the same but kept his arms over me. He held my gaze as I held his and soon pillow talk was commencing. I smiled, I missed this too. I missed every little detail.

Danny's POV

"It was so weird without you... nothing went right, like you know, life didn't fit, it didn't flow. It's like without you, I no longer function..." Alice whispered. She was fast growing tired and her voice was laced with sleep, her eyes slowly shutting as her words began to slur. Despite this though, her words hit me. She'd summed up in a sentence how I felt. My life hadn't been right without Alice, it hadn't been smooth (not that it ever was anyway) but life wasn't as I knew it. I hated it.

"Same." I whispered, "Night Alice."

"Night Danny." She slurred back before moving closer to me and resting her head against my chest once more. I sighed and closed my eyes... at least we were back together now and from now on it truly was to be 'til death us do part.
