Thabo's POV
As I walked through the grand estate towards the stables, I was still powerfully overwhelmed. Everyone here was so perfect, so refined, so grand; something I'd never really known. I smiled as I noticed Liv talking to a horse with her Great Aunt Georgina, Liv liked horses a lot and she had always loved the zebra too. I grinned as I walked over, Liv noticing me gave me an energetic smile back as I wandered over.
"Hey." I said softly, offering my hand to the horse to sniff. She did so and began to lick it gently, I laughed rubbing her head with my other hand.
"You must have salt on your hands." Georgina laughed as I pulled my hand away. I moved it towards Liv playfully who squealed jumping backwards. I giggled and moved forward once more, hand raised.
"Thabo, you dare even touch me with that hand and I swear down..." Liv was warning me in a dark tone but I just laughed and lunged forward, she shrieked before dodging me once more. "Thabo!"
"Come on darling hold my hand!" I pleaded, laughing once more at her disgusted look.
"Wash your hand and I'll think about it!" Liv replied.
"Hmm..." I murmured before trying to get her once more.
"Young Love." Georgina teased, causing both Liv and I to stop and look down, clearing our throats. We'd both completely forgot about Georgina being there! I finally looked up, smiling sheepishly, before catching Liv's eye and giggling uncontrollably with her. God, I loved the girl!
Danny's POV
As the taxi driver dropped us off outside Georgina's huge mansion, I couldn't help but smile secretly at Alice. She smirked as she paid the driver before the pair of us clambered out. Ok, so we'd um... finished our honeymoon off, but we couldn't exactly say that. So we had a plan. We went to the hospital and there was a huge waiting time cos they were behind, then we went for a wander round London and to the natural gallery then it was busy coming home. Ok, so some of that is lies, but some of it is also true.
Alice took my hand and looked up at me with her dazzling eyes. I was captivated by them and felt them swallowing me up. She grinned playfully before wrapping her arms around me and hugging me tightly. I smiled, kissing the top of her head gently as I wrapped my arms back around her. I could feel her bump gently pushed against me. My eyes closed as we stood locked together, Alice head buried into my chest, as I rested my chin in her hair. Suddenly and quite out of nowhere, I felt... I gasped and looked down meeting Alice's twinkling blue eyes as I did... I felt the baby kick.
"Welcome to my world." Alice whispered, humour and affection evident in her soft Scottish tone.
I stood there, smile wide but mouth wide open too. I was... it was... I tried to find words to describe it but nothing could. I think the closest word could be magical, perfection maybe summed it up, but even those didn't seem good enough for this moment. I looked down at Alice, both of us smiling as the baby kicked again.
"Wow." I managed to force out, my voice barely edible as tears welled in my eyes, my throat tightened. Alice wore a beaming smile, her eyes too slightly welled up. "Thank you Alice, thank you so, so much." I croaked.
"No Danny... thank you. You've made me so happy." Alice replied, her voice quiet but clear at the same time. "You've given me so much Danny... you'll never understand how grateful I am." Alice looked down for a moment. "It scares me to think where Charlotte and I would be if... if..." Alice stopped and shook her head, I placed my hands on her shoulders, before taking one hand away to gently lift her chin up forcing her eyes to meet mine. They were moist with emotion. I nodded, I understood, and I knew that she understood that I believed she'd done the same to me. Slowly, I moved my other hand and brought it to her face, cradling it gently in my hands before swooping down and pressing my lips to hers once softly, before pulling away and kissing once again with the same tenderness, before slowly dipping back down to give her a third, lingering kiss, much deeper than the other too but still soft and gentle.
I pulled away, rubbing my hand over her cheek. She leant into me slightly, her eyes closed. These moments were always so special to me; I loved it when we shared these private, intimate moments. I adored Alice when she was in this mood. I always tease her, calling it her lovey-dovey soft mood, but it's also one my favourite of her moods.
"We should get in." Alice grinned, wrapping her arm tightly around my waist before resting her head upon my shoulder. I grinned, nodding in agreement before sliding my arm around her waist, and leading her into the grand mansion.
