He inhaled a large breath.

"If you decide to tell me and you need to stop I understand honey."

He nodded. He couldn't look at her face when he told her so he sat up and pulled her back to his chest wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his face in her neck. Then put it up.

"I guess I'll start at the beginning huh? I….." he faltered. She kept quiet knowing this was gonna be hard enough without interruptions. She twined her fingers with his giving him silent support.

"I was at the airport. I felt ill. Uneasy. See I knew something was wrong. I knew I shouldn't get on that plane. I wanted to be sick. See I thought it was coz I left you at home after an argument. It wasn't that at all. My plane was announced and that feeling of dread just grew. I settled on the plane and it receded somewhat. I was sat near to some stag lads. They were loud and raucous. Poor kids." he murmured. Paused. "I plugged in my Ipod pulled out paperwork on Ethan. Making notes. I remember thinking I would die before his dad got out of jail how close did that statement come to being true? I did my notes then I phoned you." lifted her hand a pressed a kiss to it. "I love you." he murmured. "After that I asked the air hostess for a pillow. She got me one but these lads were being really loud so I asked if there was anywhere I could move. They moved me to the back of the plane next to a mother and her baby. I just about to go to sleep and the baby cried. Amy had teeth coming through. I spoke to her mum who apologised. I was like it's fine see out Amie had just had her teeth coming through too. I went to sleep when Amy quieted. I have no idea how much later but I was awoken by the plane bumping all over the place and the shrill high pitch of woman's screams. We were told to put our seatbelts on. We were experiencing turbulence. Bullshit! There was a flash and we literally stopped in mid air. Not a movement or a sound for what felt like hours but it was only a few seconds. I had an inkling of what happened. Lightning had struck the plane and fried the engines. The plane lurched forward and we catapulted to the earth. I said a prayer to God to take care of all of you and then everything went black."

He was breathing heavily and was silent for ages. Alice didn't think he was gonna start again.

I don't think I wanna tell you the next bit Alice. It's hard, graphic and…" he exhaled she felt something warm and wet hit the back of her neck. "I hate thinking of it. It's what I dream about."

"Ok honey." she told him. "That's fine." he nodded and held her a while needing her closeness to settle him she calmed him. He felt a build up. Something built inside him. Demanding to be released!

"Fire!" he blurted.

"What honey?"

"The plane it was on fire! And there were burning bodies everywhere" he was talking quickly. Fragmented sentences fell from him. "Crushed people to the right! And the top of the plane had been torn off. And to the left people had been…they had…" he couldn't say it. "Amy's mother still had her hand on her chest. God I had to move her hand and it was still warm." his hands twitched.

"And I survived by sheer dumb luck. I had been asleep and lain my seat back right but when I sat up it hadn't latched properly. The impact must have jarred it loose again and it fell. Otherwise I'd have no head either! The one seat that saved my life was the one I wasn't even supposed to be in. I mean talk about a lottery. Everyone died and I mean everyone!" his breathing was extremely laboured. didn't hold back.

"My seatbelt was stuck and I fought to loosen it. I didn't even know why I tried. I figured I was gonna die. I mean how in the hell do you get off a burning plane huh? I noticed Amy was alive and I unlatched her seat. Promised her mother I'd find her a new family. That was if we even got off the plane. Like I said I thought we were screwed! I was so overwhelmed by the smell of burning bodies felt sick. I couldn't get the door open though. C'MON OPEN!" he said reliving that moment. "Not that it would of helped. I put Amy's chair on my shoulder and climbed out of the side of the plane. The metal was all jagged and hot." he looked at the scar on his hand. "I pulled us up. Blooding oozing down my arms. An explosion shuddered through the plane. And I nearly fell back in. I'm so glad I didn't coz I know if I went back in we wouldn't have got out. I got over. Added a gash to my leg. Slid down the side of the plane. Not realising how far off the ground we were. Probably would have fell to my death if I hadn't crabbed the metal clamp that attaches the wheel to the plane. It had nearly been torn off. I nearly crushed my entire left side when I hit the edge momentum. I hung there for a minute nearly dropped Amy's car seat. Knew I had to jump. Knew It was gonna hurt. I braced my feet against the plane counted to three then jumped. Literally a second later the plane just exploded into a ball of fire. I fell though Alice. I fell and fell and fell. For an eternity. Landed. On my side or back id don't remember. All I remember is pain and I wanted to die. But I had a baby to look after so I walked in the pouring rain covered in blood and debris through a field. I had to stop to change Amy and make her a make shift cover to keep her dry. Then I walked."

He hid his face in her shoulder. Alice was in shock. She'd had no idea how he had got off that plane but if asked to dream up a scenario she'd have never came up with that in a million years. The fact he was still here was luck. And not just once. If he was a cat he'd be short of abut 5 lives here! She turned around and faced her husband. Drew herself up onto her knees and enveloped him in her arms. Wrapped her arms around his neck. His around her waist. She felt tears fall from her eyes.

"How close did I come to losing you forever? How lucky are we that we have this second chance? We're not gonna waste it Danny! I can't lose you again. Not ever. I love you Danny!"

"I love you and you'll never lose me. I am forever yours. My heart body and soul." he vowed.

They held each other tightly and pledged their love over and over again!
