A/N - another chapter of Mistake :') Aww its nearly done though! Just the wedding and honeymoon, oh well plenty of Danice fluff I am sure :')

Alice's POV

I groaned as I pushed my eyes open which of course was a huge struggle as I fought to keep them open. It felt like I was boxing with Mike Tyson, only my eyes were my opponent not Mr Tyson.

6am… and I'd only got to sleep at 4am. I told you, I just can not sleep without Danny, and maybe a bit because of the excitement of becoming Mrs Trevanion.

"Alice, you up?" I heard Rosie shout cheerily from the other side of the door. Eurgh, how could she be lively at this time in the morning.

"Yeh." I replied, morning voice well and truly on, oh god, never mind, she's my stepdaughter, I'm pretty sure she'll hear it again!

"Excellent." She smiled bursting through the door with a silver tray lined with a variety of different fruits, a platter of toast and even a bowl of serial, along with a glass of fruit juice, a bit of milk and… a glass of wine?

"Vanessa said eat what you want, don't worry about it, she just didn't know what to make you and thought you'd probably like something light. You can blame Rowan for the wine and you can thank me for this excellent delivery service!" Rosie winked as she handed me the tray, I laughed heartily.

"Thank you Rosie." I grinned, she sat on the edge of my bed as I began to butter the toast.

"So Mrs Trevanion to be, excited?" Rosie pestered, a cheeky smile on her face - I smiled to myself, she looked just like her father, they had exactly the same cheeky grin!

"I can't wait." I enthused, Rosie laughed as I made the sudden realisation that I'd gone into dream mode. An AutoAlice mechanism, coming free with your one and only Alice Collins, or soon to be Alice Trevanion - ach, I have my own sale pitch now! "So any advice?" I asked.

"Enjoy every minute, and make it a rule that Dad spends every minute of that wedding with you! Oh and make sure you have plenty of ice and plasters for your toes, he's always been a useless dancer!" Rosie giggled, I chuckled too, but half because of the memories. I thought back to dancing with Danny at the school opening… he'd been surprisingly good then, but no one was watching us, and maybe the fact I failed at dancing helped a wee bit!

Rosie sat and watched as I contemplated the fruit juice against the wine. Oh hard choice! Head… or other side of head? Silly or Intelligent? Mature and responsible or Alice? Alice - I grabbed the wine and drank it.

"Don't you be tipsy on your wedding day!" Rosie laughed.

"I doubt that'll get me tipsy, did Rowan water it down?" I asked, laughing gently, she laughed too. I loved Rosie, she was just so fantastic, like her father in many ways, but so fiery and cheeky, so… just lovely.

"Thanks Rosie." I said grabbing her hand, she squeezed my hand.

"What for?" She asked, a look of confusion on her face.

"Absolutely everything." I replied honestly, looking into her eyes, something I always seemed to be when I was telling the truth.

"Don't be so bloody daft!" Rosie laughed, engulfing me in a hug. "You're my mum, well step mum, but I think of you as my mum, so you're my mum." Rosie laughed at herself before taking a deep breath, whereas I had tears in my eyes.

"I never knew you felt that way…" I whispered as we remained locked in our hug. "I think of you as a daughter you know." I added as we pulled away.

Rosie smiled, a silence had hit us, not an awkward or bad silence, just a silence. Rosie broke it, her brown eyes glistening.

"Come on mother! Up you get, you have a wedding to get ready for, and Dupe's coming to pick you up in an hour and a half - seriously Alice, what were you thinking - Dupe father figure?" Rosie joked.

"Oh I know! But you'd be surprised what he's done for me, and helped me through. He's a better dad than my dad ever was." I sighed.

"No negative thoughts allowed! Come come!" Rosie grabbed my hand and pulled me up, I moaned jokingly as Rosie threw me down into a chair and the straightners and other such equipment emerged!

Danny's POV

Wow, today was the day, the day I finally married Alice. My heart skipped as I just thought of calling her Alice Trevanion. A dream come true for me.

Right now, I was sat at the table, somehow forcing down some toast, I felt so sick with nerves! Dupe walked in and handed me a small amount of whiskey.

"For courage my man!" Dupe smiled, as I downed it quickly before refusing his offer of more. Woah, that had actually helped! Best not have any more though, this days been long enough coming as it is, and postponed enough! Imagine if I couldn't say my vows! Alice would never marry me!

"Danny - you need to start getting ready man." Max smiled as he walked into the kitchen, looking extremely smart in his black suit, coupled with a pink shirt and black tie, a white flower on the edge of his suit.

"Oh yeh! I'll jump in the shower." I smiled, hurrying off. God today was the day!

Dupe's POV

This days been a long time bloody coming, ach I need another drink! I still can't believe Danny and Alice have overcome all the problems they've faced, ,man, it's a miracle Danny's alive, but we have Alice to thank for that of course. I sighed, I did feel bad for what I'd done but then again that's why I have expanded upon my wedding present, I feel they deserve something more, but it's whether Alice will be as stubborn as she usually is and refuse it. I hope not!

Alice, I still couldn't get over the fact, despite all I'd done, she had asked me to give her away. When she asked me I'd had a tear in my eye, I'd told her not to tell anyone I was going soft, much to her amusement. I was honestly in shock when she asked if I'd still do it after the whole Vern thing. I'd nearly had this whole thing cancelled but Alice being Alice had smiled and told me she'd want nothing more than for me to give her away. My heart swelled with pride.

I was due at Mara any minute. Ach, I'm always late, hence why Id said Id come early, then Id get there on time! Good plan yes? Oh! And remind me, not to let slip that we are going to the copy that's Danny's surprise for Alice, they are having their wedding there but shh, it's a secret!

I walked into the kitchen and wow! What a transformation. Rosie was here now, all ready to go in her beautiful blue dress, she was one of the bridesmaid, and matron of honour (is that what you call em) who walked behind Alice. She'd quickly made Danny look presentable although I have to say that man has taste in suits, ach he looked so smart.

"Savile Row Trevanion?" I laughed, looking at him in his black pinstriped suit, coupled with a plain black waistcoat and then his white shirt and blue tie. Wow he looked quite the part despite the fact he would melt in all those layers!

"Gotta look the best!" He replied cockily, must have cost him a fortune, I bet those patent Italian shoes cost more than my trusty brown suit!

Evan looked amazing too. He was wearing a suit similar to Danny's but he had no pinstripe and wore as Max did, a pink shirt and black tie. Maybe that was Danny's code for his best men. Yes Danny's having two best men - well you didn't expect it all traditional did you?

"Right I'm off, you all look great." I smiled grabbing the Jeep keys, I saw Caroline on my way out, wearing a light coloured frock. She looked beautiful. "You look stunning." I smiled kissing her on the cheek.

"You Don't look to bad yourself, now go on, don't be later for Alice!" Caroline pestered, as she ushered Danny, Evan and Max into another Jeep.

Rowan's POV

"Ahh so she's finally ready!" I teased as Alice walked out, she grinned cheekily at me, what's wrong with Alice, usually I'd get a slap, then I see it the dreamy eyes! "You look beautiful sis! Scrub up well."

"Thanks Rowan, you don't look to bad yourself." She smiled. "Although - Are you wearing that kilt properly?"

"You know a true Scotsman never reveals!" I laughed, "Its to be discovered!"

"Leave that to Vanessa then." Alice laughed, Vanessa hit her lightly in shock as Rosie, Liv and Charlie all laughed. I didn't mind if Vanessa did find out, she looked beautiful, the purple dress she wore suited her perfectly, her hair falling in curls, wow… she was so stunning.

The door opened rather suddenly, and in padded, well more burst Dupe. I nearly had a heart attack - bloody hell - DuPlessis in a suit? Is this some sort of dream?

"You ready Alice?" Dupe asked.

Alice sighed before grinning so radiantly, it became infectious, we all began to smile.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" She sighed dreamily, Rosie handed her a bouquet of flowers as she picked up her own. Liv and Charlotte were holding theirs.

"My army ready?" Alice laughed addressing her children. God, children. Okay so not all blood related but she is technically their mother. Rosie and Liv were stood on either side of Charlie, Alice placed one hand on each of their shoulders.

"More than ready mum, do you realise how long we've been waiting for this day?" Charlotte teased, my niece rocked!

"Yeh yeh!" Alice laughed placing her hand on Charlotte's shoulder, before following Dupe out followed by her troops, almost bouncing with excitement and nerves as she embarked on her journey to the wedding, leaving just me and Vanessa to travel in her Jeep.

a/n - I know I'm really dragging this out, but it's fun to drag it out :P xx
