"Daddy!" Robert ran at Danny.

"Hey, mister you causing trouble for your mum?" Robbie's mischievous smile appeared. Danny shook his head. "You go get Charlie and we'll watch a film yeah?"

"Yay!" He went sprinting out the room as fast as his little legs could carry him. Danny heard him shouting on Charlotte.

Alice walked in, "You sure you're feeling well enough to keep an eye on them, I can ask Nomsa..."

"You are such a fuss Mrs Trevanion."

She laughed blushing slightly. "I know, I know. Right I'm going." Robbie came back in Charlotte in tow. "You two be good for dad, look after him for me yeah." Charlotte and Danny laughed. Robbie nodded seriously. "That's my boy. I'll see you later." She picked Robert up and pulled Charlotte in for a cuddle too. "Love you too lots."

"Love you too mum." whispered Charlotte. Robbie replied by planting a big kiss on her cheek.

Danny stepped forward taking Robbie from Alice. Robert wrapped his arms round his dad following his mum's instructions.

"See you later sweetheart." he said. Alice reached up to kiss his cheek.

"Promise me you'll get me on the radio if-"

"Promise." He assured. She nodded satisfied before grabbing her keys to head out to the neighbouring farms.

"OK, my little cherubs. What movie?"

"Tangled!"

"Again?" He exclaimed they both nodded. "fine stick it on." and they settled down to watch it.

Robbie sat on Danny's knee while Charlotte sat beside them her head resting on Danny's shoulder.

They were in the same position when Alice came in later that night. All three asleep. Danny was leaning right back, keeping one hand on Robert who had curled up against his chest and his other arm around Charlotte who leant against him too. Alice smiled contentedly as she watched them. The love she felt just burst out of her at times like this. Her 2 kids, just completely perfect in her eyes made her so proud and feel so blessed. Danny, her gorgeous husband, goodness knows what she had done to deserve him but she was eternally grateful.

Reluctantly she moved across the room, she lifted Robbie making sure as not to wake him. Feeling the weight lift Danny woke up. "Hey," she whispered. "I'll put the wee man to bed, will you wake Charlotte?"

He nodded, carefully moving so Charlotte didn't fall over, "Charlotte darling, come on get to bed." Although still groggy she nodded and wandered off to her room.

Danny groaned and stretched he definitely felt better, just tired. A good nights sleep was just what the doctor ordered.

[x]

"You must be feeling better!" exclaimed Alice as Danny handed her a mug of coffee as he entered the animal hospital, "You making coffee, in fact are you ill? or what do you want?" she teased.

Danny laughed sarcastically, "oh you're so funny!"

"I'm kidding, thanks sweetheart."

He nodded, "That's what I thought, right now what we got today? Is Rosie in yet?"

"Not yet. A whole load of appointments, the first of which should be her in five minutes."

"What is it?"

Alice scanned the computer screen, "Eh that cat you operated on, the one with fluid in the lungs."

"Aww yeah that one we couldn't knock out. Just a check up then?"

"Yepp, nothing much exciting unless we get a call out or an emergency." Alice moaned. "It's going to be a long day."

Danny agreed as the door opened, "Sure is."

Rosie came running into the hospital mid morning. "Where've you been!" asked Danny they'd been rushed off their feet. "Alice got an emergency call out."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." she said pulling on her greens and shouting in the next patient in the line.

They were glad to see the last patient go that day. It had been hectic. As Alice scrubbed down the operating table she could hear Danny and Rosie bickering. Rosie had been stressed all day and Danny (in a dad like fashion) was totally oblivious to his daughter's mood. He was going on about her being late and giving a lecture on punctuality.

"It was one morning Dad!"

"Yeah, for now, it better not become a frequent occurrence Rosie. You were needed here this morning, things were hectic."

"I know I said-"

"It's hardly a long journey," Danny continued his rant as he shuffled through paperwork. Rosie glared at his back.

"Whatever! See you later, me and Dylan have a table booked."

Danny snorted. "Yeah wouldn't want to be late for him." Inwardly Alice groaned.

"Meaning what!" Rosie rounded on him.

"Just remember who you're family is." Alice decided now might be the time to intervene.

"He's my husband."

"I'm your father." Danny boomed.

"And? I'm not your little girl any more you have no say..."

"Rosie, Danny, come on-" But they seemed not to hear.

"Of course I have a say!"

"No dad! You don't!" and she stormed out the hospital slamming the door hard behind her. Danny stared at it before feeling Alice's eyes on his face turned to look at her. She was stood hands on hips giving him that look. The one that told him she was mad and that anger was directed at him.

"What?" He asked.

"You were out of order Danny. Rosie's right." He huffed in disbelief. "She's a grown woman!"

"You girls always stick together." Danny murmered.

Alice exhaled noisily, he was unbelievable. "What exactly were you hoping to achieve? She apologised for being late. She knows your feelings towards Dylan. Why don't you put yourself in her shoes? She's in love and we, her family, have been less than supportive. Especially you. The one person she looks up to."

Danny shook his head, "He's-" he started angrily but was cut off once again by an exasperated Alice.

"He's her husband. And you know what? A decent man." and with that she left slamming the door in the same way Rosie had leaving Danny himself.

Thanks for the reviews. Hope I don't disappoint, I can't say whether it's Danny or not :L
