Present Day

Alice was drifting. She opened her eyes and was looking into familiar green eyes. And a frown on a smooth forehead. As she'd opened her eyes the breath was stolen from her lungs as he smiled a crooked smile at her. All this wouldn't have been a problem usually. If this man hadn't died 5 years ago!

"First time a woman has ever fainted for me before." he said with a laugh. A voice like velvet and a contagious laugh. Everything was familiar. The face. The eyes. The smile. Yet he died 5 years ago. They had had a service for him! She scrambled away from him.

"Are you ok? You said Danny then fainted." he asked concern evident in his tone.

"But you look…your…Sorry I didn't get your name." she asked in turmoil.

He extended his arm to help her up and she took it. They pulled their hands away as a sizzle of electricity ran up their arms at the contact.

He looked troubled. "Peter Robinson. You?"

"Alice Trevanion." she replied rubbing her arm.

She saw his eyes flicker at the words.

"Do I know you? I feel like I should! When I heard it it felt so….right to me! Why?"

"Daddy!" a shrill voice called from the car.

"Wait a minute Amy."

Her eyes were drawn to the car. Saw a hazel eyed child in the back seat.

Ethan drove into Leopards Den with the 2 kids.

"I swear Daniel you could have killed him!" Ethan grumbled as he climbed out of the car.

"Alice you won't belie…." Ethan stopped dead as he looked at the man on the veranda. He pointed at between Alice and peter.

"Is that? No it can't be! Oh God!" he whispered in shock.

Peter was too busy staring at the children which climbed out of the car. Particularly the boy who looked eerily like him. He was the perfect mix of him and the woman stood in front of him.

Ethan walked towards him. "Are you Danny?" he asked.

"Why is everyone calling me that? No I'm not this Danny!" he backed off. "My name is Peter. Peter Robinson and if you'll excuse me I'm outta here!" he practically ran to his car.

Alice ran down the stairs after him. "This is a misunderstanding." she said to Peter softly. "Why don't I show you to your hut."

Peter looked at her and Ethan. His daughter chose that moment to climb from the car and speak to the young girl who was identical to her mother.

"Hello I'm Amy!" Peters daughter said.

Alice's daughters face lit up. "Me too!" she laughed.

"Amy c'mon we're going to our hut now." he grabbed the bags. Alice tried to help. He shook his head. "My mother would go wild if she knew I let woman carry the bags." well he thought she would. He still didn't remember much!

"There's a telephone in the bedroom." Alice said as she showed him inside. "Press hash and it should patch you straight through to the main house.

He smiled and her breath caught. "I'm sorry I freaked out before." he said.

"I should be saying sorry for the way we freaked out at the sight of you. You look a lot like my husband. He died 5 years ago. But it's eerie your identical to him. Even your eyes are his exact shade. Wishful thinking I guess." she murmured.

"You still love and miss him." Peter stated.

"O yeah. Everyday!" she stopped herself there. "Anyway I hope you enjoy your stay!" Peter watched her walk away. He liked her walk. Graceful with a slight sway. She was also very beautiful. He always had a thing for blue eyes and hers were perfect. An endless ocean of clear blue. Of all the blue eyes he'd seen he'd never felt heat shoot through them before the ways hers had. He had damn near melted.

The boy though. That had creeped him out. He was a mix of him and her. There had to be a reasonable explanation for this!

(X)

Ethan and Alice sat in the kitchen after Alice had finished her chores.

"Is it him?" Ethan asked.

She shook her head. "I dunno. I'm pretty sure it is. I mean he helped me up and I felt this sizzle run clean up my arm. That only ever happened with Danny!"

"We're ignoring the obvious though. He died in a plane crash. I mean they sent bones!" he said softly.

"I know. That's what's confusing me. I feel he's Danny. But then feel he can't possibly be Danny. He's Peter. Here for 2 weeks and then we'll never see him again!"

"Alice I've got to admit. It's uncanny." Ethan murmured. "He is identical."

"Yeah well isn't there the belief that everyone has a doppelganger in the world?" she asked.

Ethan shrugged. "You should get to know him. You'd know."

"Yeah well Ethan that would be torture. It was hard enough losing Danny the first time without having to see him every day then watching him go again. I can do without having my heart trashed again!"

(X)

They had been down in the hut for 4 hours and Alice was already going out of her mind. How she was going to last 2 weeks was absolutely beyond her.

Lexi walked in the house. Alice made a zipping motion to him. He nodded.

"Well hello to my wonderful family. "I have a weekend off soon so I am ecstatic. Feeling in the best mood ever!" she danced around the table. "And I am having dinner with a handsome man tonight so all is right with the world."

"Hello Lex." Alice said. "I'll talk later I got to sort some stuff in the surgery."

As soon as her mum was gone she pulled Ethan close for a kiss. "I have yearned for this all day!" she murmured against his lips.

Daniel walked into the kitchen.

"Ethan yuck! Why do you kiss her. Firstly she's my sister and second she's a girl!"

"I like her. Its how men show woman they like them." Ethan said to Daniel who promptly rolled his eyes and walked away. It had been so hard for Ethan not to say love.

"You like me huh?" she asked. Pressed her lips to his neck. Then his jaw. "Only like?" she hinted.

"Ok more than like." he admitted. "And I definitely lust over you." he said voice low and intimate in her ear.

"Now that Ethan is more like it!" she replied.

"My room or yours?" he asked.

"Whichever is closer."

"Same distance." they both laughed. Ethan forgot all about the Danny debacle. They walked down the hallway into her room.

"Now what are you planning on doing with me?" she asked innocently.

He pushed her on the bed. He was quickly above her kissing her. When he felt her unconditional surrender he pulled back. "Absolutely nothing coz I booked a table for dinner."

He climbed off her and smiled at her. She looked shocked. And extremely frustrated.

"See you in abit honey!" he blew her a kiss.

"Mean!" she yelled.

(X)

Alice walked down to the hut with clean towels. Determined to prove to herself that this man didn't resemble Danny as much as she thought he did. She saw him sat on the deck.

Christ did he look like Danny. Like her son. Especially lost in thought like that!

"Here." she said smiling and walked up the stairs. "Clean towels."

"O we brought out own but thank you." he put them on his bed. His daughter was asleep on hers.

"Ok. I'd better be going."

He grabbed her hand. Ran his fingers over her knuckles. "Stay please." she pulled her hand away as another more powerful charge shot up her arm. She had this memory of when they were 15. He'd did the same thing then, asked her to stay and ran his thumb over her knuckles.

"Wow." he murmured. "Do you feel it too?" he asked.

She just stood looking at his face. Like she was trying to figure him out.

He forgot who he was when he looked in her blue eyes. Felt an almost irresistible urge to do something.

He began to lower his head instinctively. Her eyes widened and breath quickened in anticipation. Then her radio crackled and jerked them back to the reality. She jumped away. Then backed off again. Looked around then simply bolted. Leaving him standing there feeling like a deer caught in the headlights. This was a woman he'd met once. Known for all of 5 minutes and he'd wanted to kiss her and never stop! He was really losing it. Really.

(X)

Ethan and Lexi walked in from their date. She was giggling. She had a little bit wine tonight. She wasn't drunk but it had made her light headed.

"I had the best time tonight!" she whispered in his ear.

He could barely breath at the sight of her in the white dress. He'd felt daggers in his back from all the men in the place. The jealous looks. And he was so proud that she was his. She'd had pasta then he'd fed her this irresistible chocolate cheesecake. A stray bit of chocolate had dribbled down her chin and her tongue had swooped to catch it and he nearly dragged her into a dark corner. He wasn't a Neanderthal. He could control himself. Barely. She was just so gorgeous and stunning and everything. He just loved the whole package! They both hadn't stopped smiling.

"I'm gonna go change into shorts and a t-shirt." she told him

He smiled and kissed her saw Alice sitting in the kitchen. She looked pale.

"He's Danny!" she declared as she walked in. "Don't ask me how or why I know I just do! He's familiar and weird and he's Danny!"

Ethan had never seen Alice this frazzled before. He must have really shook her up!

Lexi appeared from her room as the phone rang, "I'll get it." she said. Her face went serious.

"Where are you?"

She paused. "How old is she?"

Paused again. "I'll be right there!"

"Lexi?" Ethan asked as she put the phone.

She ran in the study and was soon out of the house with the first aid kit.

"Dammit, she'll see him!" he exclaimed and ran after her. he was out of the house before he realised he didn't know what hut Peter was in!

Lexi was at the hut in record time. Didn't notice the man. Only saw the little girl on the bed. Her head and arms thrashing. "Get a cold compress!" she said eyes glued to the child.

"Your gonna be ok. Ok my names Lexi. And I can help you." she murmured in a soft tone. Her voice almost hypnotic. She grabbed the cold compress and placed it over the girls head. Checked her eyes with a light. Ok no sign of head injury. Pulse. Good strong. Temperature. Still a little warm. The thrashing subsided. Lexi had suspected this. Same thing had happened to her when she first came here. Fever. Lethargy. Sleepiness. Extreme changes in basal temperature did that to kids sometimes. Plus she looked like she had a few bites from mosquitoes on her arms. Bad reaction maybe?

"C'mon open your eyes." she murmured to her again. She was soon looking at unfocused hazel eyes. She smiled.

"You got any liquid ibuprofen or kids medicine? Something for fever?" she retook the child temperature. It seemed to be coming down.

"Daddy? The little girl asked.

"I'm here baby."

Lexi had the biggest feeling of de ja vu. Looked up at the man. "She's fine she…." Lexi was gazing into green eyes. Identical to her own. Jumped up. Stood slightly taller than him.

Both jaws dropped as they stared at each other.

"You look like…" Peter started.

"You're my…" she squeaked.

They stood for a second then Lexi came to her senses. "She'll be fine. Um. Fever. Medicine. Yeah medicine! Bye!" she ran from the hut straight into Ethan.

"Have you seen him?" she squeaked at him. "he looks like….how does he…what is going on here? Has mum seen him?"

Ethan nodded. "Calm down honey." he murmured.

"And no-one thought to warn me? If I had noticed him before I'd have been no use to that little girl!"

"We were as shocked as you Lexi!" he told her.

"Oh my god!" she gasped. Walked towards the house his hand in hers.

"tell me about it!" he said back.

Alice saw her daughters face as she walked in.

"You seen him then?" Alice asked.

Lexi nodded. "I need a drink!" she whispered.

"What is his name?" Lexi finally asked as they sat at the kitchen table.

"Peter Robinson. His daughter is named Amy."

"No way. That is plain creepy!" Lexi told them.

"Look I think he's Danny. The more I think about it the more it fits."

"NO way. Dad wouldn't just leave us for 5 years and then just show up pretending to be someone else with a child named Amy too!" Lexi said incredulous.

"Look I've been thinking what if your dad got off the plane before it burned. Like parachuted or something. Or I dunno. He like fell and hurt himself. He just got off somehow. Then he wakes up right and then wakes up and finds a connection to this name Peter and thinks he's him. Voila!"

"And the kid?" Ethan asked in disbelief. Couldn't believe what Alice was saying.

"His wife's daughter who died maybe. Implying that he married again of course."

"Aw c'mon stuff like that happens in films. This is real life!" Ethan scoffed. "You want it so badly your trying to turn this Peter into Danny but he's not him!"

"What other explanation is there?" Lexi asked.

"That he is Peter Robinson and just so happens to look like Danny!"

"Who looks the same age as dad. And has a daughter called Amy. Who is the same age as our Amie. Then just so happens to show up at Leopards Den. No way I agree with mum!"

"So he's your dad and has amnesia?" He scoffed louder this time.

"Yeah and I'll prove it too!" Lexi said stubbornly.

"I give up!" he muttered and walked to his room. Lexi and Alice were gonna get hurt if they kept up with this stupid idea! He took his shirt and jeans off. Pulled on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

"You weren't thinking of going to bed angry with me were you?" Lexi asked walking into his room.

"I'm not angry Lex. I just want you or your mum to get hurt."

"We won't." she assured him. "So C'mere and kiss me or you might get hurt!"

"I always follow orders." he said and walked over to her. She put her arms around his neck and they kissed passionately.

A/N ok ethan isn't covinced. alice is half convinced and lexi is completely convinced. now comes the time to prove it.
