Danny and Alice arrived at home to an empty house. Walked straight in. Danny had an angry look on his face. Was barely restraining himself.

"What?" Alice finally asked.

"Why the hell aren't we at hospital with our daughter?" he spat.

"Coz Ethan is there and he has stuff to say Danny."

"She's our daughter!"

"And he's in love with her!" Alice retorted.

"So!" He yelled.

"Danny you have no right to be acting this way! You have no idea what they have been through he past 5 years. What the whole family has been through. Well if you even call us a family. We're dysfunctional and you know why?" she took a step forward. "Coz you." she pointed at him. "Had to play superman and get on that plane. Ethan and Lexi have been through a lot. And he has the right to tell her everything he has to say in private. So don't start on me Daniel coz I'm this close." she held her thumb and forefinger a tiny space apart. "To telling you to go to hell OK!"

She was breathing heavily. Pent up feelings fighting to be released.

"You act all indignant Danny. You forgot her! All of us. How is that fair huh?"

"O Alice you wanna talk about fair? How about coming home to a wife and kids I didn't even know I had to find out from my son that his mother has been out with another man. A vet from Mara!"

"I thought you were dead. I waited 5 years!" she said defensively.

"Well I wasn't!" he said jealously.

She crossed her arms. "Nioce of you to let me know you were alive then!"

"Did you kiss him? Hug him? Did he touch you at all?" he demanded pacing. He didn't wanna think about the other options.

"I refuse to comment!" she said.

His eyes darkened.

"Did you kiss him?" he asked slowly and clearly.

Alice refused to talk to him when he was like this. When he acted in this way he only heard what he wanted to hear.

Alice's silence was frustrating him. He wanted to go and punch the hell put of this vet at Mara. But since only Alice was here….

"Tell me if you kissed him Alice. Tell me NOW!"

"Maybe I did….maybe I didn't. I don't see how I should tell you anything!" she spat nastily.

He strode towards her and pulled her close and kissed her. Forcefully, but at the same time he was tender. She fought him, for a second them melted into his embrace.

He pulled back. His eyes glittered.

"Did he kiss you like that or like this?"

He kissed her softly this time. Full of passion and love. This kiss was like her Danny of old. He had kissed her like this so many times before. Alice could hardly breathe!

"I didn't kiss him. Ever!" she admitted finally.

He released her from his hold. "Good!" he fumed. Walked into his room and slammed the door leaving Alice feeling bereft.

Danny paced in his room angrily. She had the nerve to go off at him? Like his life had been all perfect. At least she knew who she was. Had family around her offering support and guidance. He used to feel so bad at night coz he would look at Amy and not even know his own daughter! The only reason he had a roof and food was coz a bank card and pin had arrived. He had of course assumed they were his. It had been ok for her. She had had her own roof, with her own money with her own family around her. He had been alone with a 6 month old child for company. For all he knew he had been an escaped convict. He had no memory! And she was angry that he had forgot her. Well he hadn't had a choice in the matter had he? If he'd known she was gonna change this much he'd probably would have wanted to forget her forever! She had no idea what he went through!

He sat on his bed and sifted through his newly remembered memories. He was gradually remembering everything. Slowly. She was different. His old Alice was gone. He didn't know that woman in there! Didn't even know if he wanted to know her with the way she is acting! He felt his anger rise. He stormed out of his room found her folding the kids clothes. She noticed him.

"Yes Daniel." she said in a infuriatingly calm voice.

"You go mad at me for not understanding what you went through. Have you spared a thought for me and what I went through?"

"I did actually. I thought of you every single day. Practically every minute of every day. I dreamed of you. Imagined your voice. It was hard not to think of you as I have reminders everywhere including the kids you gave me. Lexi, Daniel and Amie. Obviously you didn't think of ME everyday did you?" she asked coldly.

She took a deep breath a the thought of their daughter. "Look Danny I don't wanna talk to you right now. I can't take another argument. Our daughter is in hospital. By the grace of god and that stubborn mule headed attitude she inherited from you she's still here." her eyes filled. "It's killing me being here and not there but with everything that's passed between Lexi and Ethan I had to give him this chance. So if your gonna go offit and yell at me do it later ok coz I'm losing my daughter!" the tears fell. She was refolding the same t-shirt over and over again absently. "Leave me alone Danny, I don't cry in front of people anymore. Not since the day I buried you!"

"Oh Alice." he said softly. "You buried me?"

"They sent us remains. They told us it was you!"

She sat on the chair. He sat beside her. She moved to the sofa. "I asked you to leave me alone."

They were sitting on opposite sides of the room.

"I guess the family took the news of my death hard?"

She looked up at him. Her eyes which had glistened were dark. "Hard? Is that the best word you can come up with? You want the gory details? He goes. I alternated between depression and feeling suicidal for about 2 years. I only carried on coz I didn't want the kids to be alone. And killing myself would have been the easy way out. They all had to grow up and have the upbringing you had. A mother who loves them and is there and supports them. Your 2 year old son stopped talking about you within 6 months. When I said daddy he's get this blank look then point to a picture like he'd been taught to do. He didn't know you he knew a picture! Your year old daughter stopped asking and crying for you inside a month. This little girl who loved the bones of you. Doted on you suddenly didn't ask for you anymore. She forgot her daddy. Have you nay idea how hard that was for me? And you 18 year old daughter stopped talking altogether for a couple of weeks. Time passed and I missed you so much. But life was getting easier. We had settled into a routine until I received a letter a year later. Crash caused by pilot error and bad weather. Which put me back as I was reminded of what you must have went through when you died. The suicidal thoughts returned. You know Lexi is scared of lightning storms now? Hides in her room? That letter dragged everything back up again. So 2 year anniversary we get an invitation to the site. For a memorial, and again it gets dragged up! I lived with constant reminders of you. Reminders of what you went through. God I couldn't even look at our kids sometimes on the bad days when I missed you to much it hurt. So now this Peter Robinson turns up and my world goes wild again! So yes Daniel/Peter what ever you want. Your death was hard. On all of us! You had the luxury of forgetting. I wasn't ever allowed to forget how you died! And you don't even wanna get into my nightmares!" she breathed heavily. The phone rang. She snatched it up. "Hello!" she snapped.

"Alice you need to get down here immediately it's Lexi…." the phone beeped monotonously. That was Ethan his voice had been full of emotion before it had disconnected.

"Oh no!" she yelled and grabbed her car keys Danny hot on her heels.

"Lexi?" he asked as they climbed in the car and fastened their seatbelts.

She nodded and started the car. It roared to life and gravel spewed backwards as she sped away.

A/N all of alice's resentment finally is released here. it's not good bottling coz this is what happens will the danice survive?
