At 8 o'clock Danny walked into the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee. took a long drink of it. He then ran his hands through his hair and rubbed his face. Lexi had been completely fine but better safe than sorry! He drained the rest of his coffee and went to pour himself another cup then decided against it. Like he needed to be hyper from an overdose of caffeine! Today of all days! Alice walked out of their room yawning. He immediately looked at her stomach and noticed her t-shirt bulging slightly. He nearly dropped his cup. He'd spent the night wondering what Caroline had said to him last week. He'd convinced himself she was wrong. Till he saw her stomach!

"You should have woke me up!" she said.

"Your so adorable when you sleep though!"

She wrapped her arms around him.

"You're gorgeous you know." he said.

She smiled at him. Her eyes glistened at his words. She pulled his head down to hers. As soon as their lips touched she froze.

"Coffee?"

He nodded.

"Not again!" she muttered and put her hand over her mouth. Sprinted to the bathroom

She emerged 10 minutes later. He met her halfway and walked her into the kitchen. Gave her a glass of water then sat opposite her at the table.

"I want you to go to the doctors when we get home!"

She nodded. "I agree this is so weird!"

"Alice, when was the last time you had a period?" he asked neutrally.

"Dunno why?" she asked normally then it hit her. "You think I could be…no. That couldn't happen we got told!"

"We got told unlikely, not impossible. It makes sense. You've been tired, and sick all the time. Emotional at the slightest thing. Your stomach is rock hard and Alice I dunno if you've noticed but you've got a bump."

Alice grabbed stood up, grabbed his hand and pulled him into their bedroom. He closed the door. She pulled off her t-shirt and looked at her stomach in profile. Her jaw went slack. She definitely had a bump. She ran her hand down her stomach. She grabbed his hand and put it there too.

"Do you really think?" she couldn't finish the sentence.

He smiled and the shrugged.

"We haven't used birth control in over 10 years. Anything is possible!"

"We need to get a test today!" she said.

"Dupe told me to use what I wanted in the surgery. I could check in there!" he whispered.

She nodded excitedly.

He rushed out of the room and she looked at her stomach in the mirror,

"Are you in there baby?" she rubbed her stomach absently.

Could she and Danny be having a baby? Something they'd yearned for as long as they'd been married. They'd been told improbable but you heard stories of woman having kids against the odds all the time. Why not her too?

Danny came in carrying a rectangular box.

Alice refused to get her hopes up. Who was she kidding she was wishing so hard. She'd literally kill someone for the chance to be pregnant with Danny's child!

Danny twined his hand with hers. "Do you want me there with you?"

She nodded. Alice pulled on her dressing gown and they went in the bathroom she did the test. They then carried it back to their bedroom. It was on the dresser lain on top of the box. They were sat on the bed holding their breath.

"How long has it been?" Danny asked.

"3 minutes."

"1 minute later then the last time I asked then." he said.

"That's it I can't wait another 7 minutes! I need to look now!"

"We might get the wrong result though!"

"Dammit I can't wait!" Danny demanded he walked over an picked it up.

"What is it?" Alice asked nervously.

"Alice what does 2 lines mean?" his voice shook he knew what 2 lines meant.

"2 lines means pr…"

"Alice we're pregnant!" he said suddenly. "We're gonna have a baby!"

Alice was in shock. God she was pregnant he ran over and picked her up. Swung her around and then kissed her. He then placed her feet gently back on the floor. His laid his palm gently over the place where their child grew.

"Wow!" he said awed. "We did it!"

"Yeah we did!" she said smiling still in shock.

"What a day to find out too. Our anniversary!" he couldn't stop smiling. "Your showing too so we you must be pretty far along."

She though back. God she hadn't had a period in about 4 months. She hadn't thought nothing of it! "God Danny I could be as much as 16 weeks! I can't even remember when my last period was. I'm guessing. But there hasn't been anything at least 4 months!"

"God we've been pregnant so long and we didn't know?"

Alice thought it was adorable they way he referred to them as pregnant not just her.

"I swear to you, you are never out of my sight. You are not to move anything. Touch anything. Do anything except carry our baby."

"Danny I'm pregnant not an invalid!" Wow she said she was pregnant out loud. The words she'd never thought she'd say. She still couldn't get her head around it! "I wanna get this officially confirmed before we tell anyone!"

Danny nodded in agreement. He then kissed her so deeply, so full of love that it overflowed into her body.

"I'm still a little in shock." Alice said when he pulled away and smiled at her. "A baby. Me and you, Ethan and Lexi being a older brother and sister."

"O God Alice thank you so much for this!"

"What you thanking me for? You put him there!" Alice said.

"Him?" he questioned.

"Or her." they both smiled even wider than before. In Danny's mind he saw a blue eyed angel while Alice was imagining a boy with Danny's face.

"C'mon we'd better be getting to breakfast. He picked up her t-shirt and tossed it to her. She took off her dressing gown and pulled it on. Her hand came to a stop over her bump. She looked up at him. He looked back. This moment was perfect!

"I love you." they said simultaneously.

They walked from the bedroom hand in hand. he sat her down and sorted her breakfast. "Don't you move!" he whispered in her ear. Lexi was sat at the table picking at a piece of toast.

"You feeling better baby?" Alice asked.

She shrugged.

Danny picked Lexi up and pressed a kiss to her head. "Daddy loves you sunshine." the he placed her softly back in her chair.

He then walked and gave Alice her breakfast. Pressed a kiss to her cheek.

Ethan walked into the kitchen yawning widely.

Danny pulled him close for a hug. "Morning son!" he then clapped him on the back

Ethan looked at him in shock. He went and sat beside Lexi. They looked at each other and shook their heads in wonder.

"Um morning Danny."

Danny and Alice kept smiling conspiratorially at each other. Sharing their secret.

"Have I missed something?" Lexi asked.

"No." Both her parents said far too innocently.

"We're just relieved your better angel." Danny added.

Lexi gave them a yeah right look. "I'll find out eventually!" she warned.

Danny and Alice looked at each other again. They hoped they'd be telling her soon.

"Hey kids how about I take you up to Jo'burg today? If your feeling ok to go Lex."

"You coming mum?"

Danny hoped she picked up on his silent message.

"No I'm gonna stay home. Catch up on sleep."

"You go get ready then kids. I'll meet you here!" Danny said.

The kids walked off whispering amongst themselves. Ethan was munching a piece of toast.

"What is up with them?" Lexi asked.

"Haven't got a clue but I know I'd like some!" he said with a smile.

Danny heard that and nearly choked on his coffee. "I hope not!" he said to Alice in a low tone.

"Are you going to ask Caroline to the phone the doctor again?" he whispered in her ear as he came up behind her. His hands skimmed her face and down her body. Came to rest on her slightly swollen stomach. He rubbed softly. She twined her fingers with his and they rested it their contentedly.

She nodded. "He should give us a definite yes or no. plus he'll have the dip stick tests." she murmured.

"Ohhh I wish I could be there with you." he said sadly.

"I'll memorise every word and tell you later!"

"I love you!" he said again and kissed her. He just couldn't stop telling her. His heart was so full of it. "I'd better go get dressed though."

As he was leaving Caroline was walking in.

"Good morning Caroline!" he said in chipper voice as he passed.

"He looks happy." Caroline said pouring coffee.

"He is. We both are."

"I was right then." she said simply.

Alice frowned.

"It was clear to me what was wrong with you. Or right with you judging by the smile on your faces."

"Can you give me the number for the doctor, we'd like this confirmed as soon as possible we're just worried in case this is a false alarm."

"Of course dear. I'm happy for the two of you. Your obviously wonderful parents to the children you already have. Too bad my daughter isn't the same!"

Alice looked confused.

"Sorry, I've said too much! I'll go telephone the doctor for you now. Congratulations to both of you."

"Thank you Caroline."

Danny was distracted during shopping and Lexi knew it. She took advantage at every opportunity. Danny and Ethan got dragged into every shop imaginable. Ethan was ready to beat himself to death with a mannequins leg if this didn't end soon. He saw Lexi's eyes light up at some shoes. He rolled his eyes then saw the price. She went to her dad and turned on the big green eyes, her father had been about to hand over the credit card.

"No freaking way!" Ethan muttered. And dragged Lexi away.

"Lexi pack it in, there's no way he'd let you buy them shoes and you know it!"

"He was just about to hand over the card Ethan!" she retorted.

"They are £90 in English money. He'd string you up for buying them and string me up for letting you!"

"But they're gorgeous!" she whispered.

He rolled his eyes. "Do you REALLY need more shoes?"

"Eth, your talking to a woman here, of course I need more shoes!"

"I have 3 pairs which I actually think is too much!"

"Yes but you're a man and men are stupid aren't they dad."

Danny looked at his daughter. "Um yeah Lexi baby." he said baby and smiled widely.

Lexi and Ethan burst out laughing.

"Danny." Ethan said.

Danny shook his head then looked at Ethan. "Yeah son."

"Can we go bowling or something. I swear these mannequins are sending me a lil crazy! I nearly had a conversation with one 5 minutes ago!"

"Yeah actually that sounds like fun. I'll show you the ten mile Trevanion twist! Meaning if your within 10 miles of one pin your doing real well!"

Ethan laughed. "Don't worry Danny I'll try not to beat you too badly. I'm feeling generous today!"

(-)

They were in the bowling alley, Danny against Ethan and Lexi. Ethan was complaining that Lexi kept missing and was bringing his score down. "Straight Lexi not 3 lanes over!"

"It wasn't my fault it flew out of my hands!"

"Your not supposed to use 2 hands!"

"It was HEAVY!"

"That woman nearly had heart failure a pink ball flying at her."

"She shouldn't of been in the way." Lexi said moodily.

"What of flying bowling balls, yeah I'm sure that happens all the time!"

"Well the ball shouldn't be so heavy then I'd be able to pick it up!"

"They're supposed to be heavy Lexi, god your such a girl!"

"Yeah well your such a girl too so there!"

She went and sat in front of her dad, grinned at Ethan who in turn grinned back. God they must really care with the way the insults are flying today!

She heard her fathers phone ring.

"Hey Lexi you play for me yeah."

"God Danny you sure you'll end up with negative numbers!" Ethan joked.

"Go to hell Eth."

"Been they said go live with Lexi Trevanion that's worse."

"Ohhhh ya cruising for a bruising mate!" Lexi warned.

He grinned and winked. Her heart stuttered.

(X)

"Hello Danny here." Danny said answering is phone in the bowling alley.

"Danny I'll put the phone on speaker. He's just completing the test at the minute. You said you wanted to be here, this is the next best thing."

Danny held his breath.

The doctor started explaining what he was doing, for Danny's benefit.

"We're waiting for the results of the pregnancy test, I'm just going to see where your wife's uterus is. I shouldn't be able to feel it. Hmmmm, it seems to be around the same area as her bellybutton. Maybe just slightly below." he murmured to himself. Well you are definitely pregnant, there is no doubt by the way your uterus has extended. As well as my test being positive. You are going to be parents congratulations!"

"YES!" Danny jumped up behind Lexi. Gave her the fright of her life.

"Aahhhhh! God dad, don't do that! You nearly killed me! GOD!" she had her hand over her chest dramatically.

"Sorry baby." he said to Lexi.

"Oh don't worry dad, it was only a mild heart attack, I'm sure I'll live when my heart started beating again. You scared it over into the next country!" she said sarcastically.

Danny chuckled at his daughter.

"Ok Mrs Trevanion." the doctor started again. "By my measurements your wife could be anything up to about 20 weeks. But I've booked you in for a scan at Johannesburg as I've heard of your wife's condition. She will need to be monitored closely for possible complications. Congratulations to the both of you. I'll tell your wife when your scan is before I leave."

Alice took the phone off loud speaker. "Did you hear that Danny 20 weeks, half way already. I've been pregnant nearly 5 months and didn't even know it!"

Wow! They'd made a child 5 months ago and they'd never knew it. God what if that car crash had killed him. What if he'd left. He would have unwittingly left another child behind! "I'll be home soon honey I have the biggest urge to kiss you!"

He heard barfing noises and saw Lexi pretending to stick her fingers down her throat and Ethan had his hands around his neck rolling on the floor.

He lowered his voice. "I wonder if this one will be as crackas as the two we've already got."

"Most definitely." Alice replied seriously.

"I hope so, I'll talk to you soon. Love you."

"Me too."

He put the phone down.

"Right Danny a strike and you win." Ethan said.

"If I win we go home!" he bargained.

"Sure. There's no way you'll get a strike anyway."

He picked up a ball and put his fingers in the appropriate places. He looked at them and wiggled his eyebrows. "Watch and learn children!" He then bowled a fast one. All the pins clattered to the floor. "Now that is how its done children. Home?" he grinned.
