Thabo's POV
I smiled secretly at Liv as we ate our breakfast with the rest of the family. Chatter was plentiful amongst all of the table. Some of Georgina's workers (well people she'd kind of taken in and offered work to help them out) were also with us. They were all great too. In fact this whole place was great. I was totally overwhelmed and gobsmacked, I never thought I'd set foot in a house like this unless it was for a day trip or a museum let alone sleep in one and live here until we go back to Leopards Den. We have three days to wait. Tomorrow, we're going with Danny and Alice to see Evan in Bristol and then after that Alice is taking Liv shopping before meeting me and Danny at a pub, then after that me and Liv are off to meet some of her friends at McDonalds there. I wondered if the McDonalds would be different?
I looked around the table and smiled as I finished my food and sat and waited for everyone else. I noticed Danny and Alice were playing footsie (with difficulty as they were sat next to one another very closely) and we're sharing secret laughs and smiles... I admired the love they had for one another. The workers were involved with a chat with Caroline and Georgina and Charlotte was dozing.
"You're a very well mannered young man." Georgina smiled nodding to my plate. I smiled but was a little confused... I'd never had to sit at a table before Leopards Den to eat but I loved it and just behaved how I thought you were meant to. "Sitting down and still waiting for everyone to finish. You don't have to Thabo." She smiled.
"I've learnt off the best." I smiled looking at Danny, Alice, Caroline and Liv in turn. I noticed Liv hadn't finished. "I do have to say though, Liv's not finished."
"Catch me, I'm dreaming!" One of the workers exclaimed in a broad Geordie accent. She looked at me intently.
"It's just manners." Danny added finally coming into the conversation. He'd finished and was sat waiting for Alice to finish.
"I think I may just eat soooo slowly to annoy you!" Alice grinned cheekily with a wink.
"You do that, you'll miss the appointment!" Danny replied. I laughed and shook my head they were great!

Alice's POV
"Everything looks in order with both you and the baby." The doctor smiled at me.
"Great... so, would I be able to travel if I wanted too?" I asked nervously, Danny squeezed my hand.
"Yes of course, but I'm sure you'll understand that time is of the essence." The doctor replied ticking off some boxes on her paperwork. "But no, you'd be fine!"
After a few goodbye's and thanks, we quickly exited the hospital's busy atmosphere. Danny stopped as we reached the car park and immediately hugged me, I laughed and wrapped my arms around him the best I could.
"3 days! Alice, 3 days!" Danny beamed as he pulled back slightly.
"I know, I can't wait!" I beamed back as he kissed me deeply. I sighed as we both pulled away, life was picking up again, we just had to hope now that Peeters is fully charged with the poaching offences.
He slid his arm around me and I couldn't help but return the favour. As we walked down the streets I leant into him. Walking through London reminded me of our honeymoon. I smiled to myself, rather dumbly I'll admit, god, our honeymoon. All the memories and the feelings I felt back then flooded back, it felt as though my love for Danny had trebled since then or maybe I'd just let that 'just married' feeling mature a little. At first we'd been looking at all the usual hot, sunny places with a beach but we didn't want that. London had just ticked all the boxes and we could see our family too (though not too much!).
"You Danny, we never made it to the National Gallery..." I reminded him. He laughed and pulled me closer to him than I thought was possible.
"Let's go now... finish our honeymoon off... you can book a hotel room for a couple of hours right?" He winked.
"Daniel Trevanion..." I said in a mock stern voice.
"Someone should paint you and put the painting in the National Gallery." Danny smiled as we walked towards it.
"Don't be stupid Danny." I laughed nervously as I felt my cheeks burn slightly.
"I'm not being stupid... though imagine how I'd be able to brag! Hey, you know my wife is in the national gallery!" He joked.
"That makes me sound like a mummy!" I laughed, my laugh grew as I imagined Danny and I wrapped up in toilet paper as mummies. May have to do that one next Halloween. "Anyway," I added, "That would be so embarrassing!"
"Oh yeh... oh double oh yeh... you know I still brag about you behind your back." He admitted sheepishly. I shook my head and hit his arm playfully; he'd been so annoying with his praise over me. Of course, I appreciated it but to me it wasn't true. I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder.
"Thanks for that Danny... though... I'll admit, I do enjoy telling the world about how amazing you are. I think Georgina's son soon got bored of me!" I chuckled remembering how annoying he'd been. He hadn't left me alone until I started talking Danny!
"Eric?" Danny asked as we walked into the gallery. "Yeh... he's a bit of a flirt."
"You mean..." I asked in shock, "But... I could be like... he's way younger than me!"
"7 years." Danny corrected for me, I snorted in disgust. "Hey there's only 5 and a half years between me and you."
"Yeh I know but you're a man." I replied smartly.
Danny looked at me and frowned.
"Where's the logic in that?"
I stopped a moment... damn... I didn't have an answer, but I couldn't let him win our banter! I smiled smugly as I found an answer.
"In my brain!" I relied smugly as I looked up at one of the paintings.
"So there's no logic." Danny murmured quietly.
"Cheeky git." I mumbled back hitting his arm playfully as he took my hand and we continued to walk through the gallery.
A/N – This is so crap... I have major writer's block!
