Josh walked up to the main house. He'd been to Fatani's bar. He smiled as he approached. Now he felt amorous. His wife held no interest for him anymore. He was divorcing her when they got back to Bristol. She was crazy and he didn't want that in his life! He wanted a little Scottish firecracker! He'd lure Alice out here and have some fun. And if she refused. Like hell would she refuse him! No way! He'd threaten her baby if she did. She'd proved she'd do anything for it. Maybe he'd have her begging. No he'd definitely have her begging. He grew aroused at the thought.

The house was quiet. He crept though it looking in rooms. Growing more impatient with more time that passed. Damn the whole house was empty. He was stood in the kitchen. Spotted a letter on the kitchen table. He picked it up and read it. He knew it! He isn't Lexi's father Trevanion is! His blood ran cold. And now there is nothing to stop Alice and Ethan telling Danny of his threats! He ran down to his hut.

"C'mon Sheila we're going! They know I'm not her dad!"

"What? What about my baby?" she shrieked madly.

"I don't care I'm getting out of here." he threw all his clothes in a bag and he telephoned a taxi. "You can come with me or stay to be honest I don't care. I want a divorce!"

Sheila's mouth dropped open. She mechanically walked around their hut gathering up clothes. His taxi arrived really quickly. He looked at her.

"I'll get my own." she said coldly.

Josh didn't notice her calculating gaze. Josh picked up his case and walked from the hut. He was never seeing these people again. Sheila watched her husband go. He only wanted to divorce her coz they couldn't conceive a child. If Lexi had been his it would have been alright. She went back to packing….and planning.

(X)

Danny, Ethan and Alice arrived home. Little man strapped in his car seat on the back. He looked adorable in his little blue suit and tiny booties. With a white hat and a bib saying little brother.

Danny looked at his little boy and was struck by how amazing he was! He then looked at Alice in the rear view mirror and they shared a loving smile.

"Thank God you can't see this Dee Jay. Complete and utter sickness. Yuck!" Ethan grinned at Alice and Danny.

Danny jumped from the car. "I'm gonna head down to the hut. Gonna get rid of you know who. You take Daniel inside." He walked slowly allowing Alice time to get in the house and lock the door. He wanted the 3 of them safe. As he passed he saw the door to his surgery wide open. He frowned but carried on walking through the trees and towards the hut. He was surprised to find it completely empty. Everything was gone. Nothing had been left behind. Except a scrumpled letter on the floor. The DNA results. So they ha took off. Oh well even better! He walked towards his surgery and happily went about his jobs. Checking the animals giving medication. Set some medical supplies on sterilisation. This took a good 20 minutes. He walked into his office and found that the cupboard which held their spare tranquiliser gun was wide open. The lock forced. Danny put 2 and 2 together. As soon as he stepped out of the hospital he looked towards the house.

"Oh NO!" he said and ran.

Ethan climbed from the car.

"You ok Ethan. You've been sort of quiet." Alice said.

"Yeah. Just a bit down." he admitted.

"Aw C'mere son!" she pulled him close for a hug.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around her. "I do feel a little better."

She smiled back. "Lets get D…"

They saw Sheila round the corner. Gun in hand. Both Alice and Ethan stood closer together completely blocking Daniel from view.

"Run!" Alice hissed.

"And leave you with psycho bitch? No way!" he whispered back.

Sheila sauntered towards them. A malevolent look on her face aimed at Alice.

"Where's Josh?" Ethan asked.

"GONE! He knows the truth and he left! But I know how I'm going to get my revenge. I'm gonna kill you!" she motioned the gun towards Alice. "It'll be my way of hurting your family. I'll take you and the baby away. Like you took Lexi away from me!"

"Put the gone down!" Ethan said calmly.

"Not a word or I'll shoot you too!" Sheila warned.

"Ethan Ssshhh. I distract her you get behind the car!" she whispered.

"NO!" he whispered back sternly.

Sheila took aim at Alice's stomach then frowned. Finally realised her bump was gone.

"Where?" she heard a newborn cry from the car. She smiled gleefully. "I get my baby!" she whispered.

Alice's face hardened. "NO freaking way!"

Sheila raised her gun. Goes to shoot Alice in the stomach. Ethan stands in front of her.

"Move kid don't make me shoot you!" Sheila said acidly.

Ethan didn't say a word just stood his ground. Alice tried to push him out of the way. He used the momentum from one her pushes to spring forward and grab the end of the gun they struggled. Alice opened the car door, opened the window slightly so air circulated then locked the door and tossed the keys in a bush. She was about to help Ethan when Sheila kneed him between the legs. Although he remained standing he let go of the gun instinctively.

Sheila looked at him and smiled. "Goodbye Ethan!" she pointed the gun at his chest and fired.

"NO!" Alice screamed.

Ethan hit the tip of the gun so it fired downwards. A dart cam out and hit him in the stomach.

"Pull it out quick!" Alice yelled.

Ethan did as he was told then smiled cockily proving he was fine. Sheila looked angry.

"Oh God!" Alice breathed. She rushed over to Ethan.

"Alice?" he questioned as he began to feel wierd. He blinked frowned then stumbled backwards into the dirt. Alice was on her knees beside him. Telling him to keep his eyes open.

"Look out!" he told her.

Alice moved but not quick enough and felt the butt of the gun hit her head. She fell to the ground.

"You…" Ethan breathed and tried to get up but couldn't.

Sheila lifted Alice from the ground and held her arms tightly behind her back. "Watch your son Alice! Watch him die!" she screamed happily. "Then I'll get rid of you and take the baby!"

Alice struggled. "Good luck finding the keys you freak!" Alice yelled. "Don't worry Ethan keep your eyes open son. I'll help you I promise!" she wrenched and fought to no avail.

Ethan breathing was shallow and thready. He was sweating and his eyes started to close slowly.

"NO! Ethan keep them eyes open!" Alice screamed and fought even harder.

"Is your boy dead yet?" she cackled.

"Bitch let me go!"

Ethan started fitting on the floor.

"Look at him go!" Sheila said happily.

That was it! Alice threw her head back and connected with some part of Sheila's head. Sheila released Alice and fell to the floor dazed. Alice ran and got the spare vet box from the back of the car and opened it beside Ethan. Pulled doubt an enzyme that slowed the reaction.

"Hold on Ethan!" Alice said and injected him.

He kept on fitting.

She realised someone was standing over her. A gun pointed at her head.

"Now you die!" Sheila said coldly.

"I'll meet you in hell!" Alice spat at her.

Sheila's finger tightened. Alice waited for the inevitable.

It never came. A figure came flying and rugby tackled Sheila. Then restrained her.

"What…" Danny started.

Alice ignored him and sprinted to the hospital. Grabbed the solution she needed and ran back towards the house.

Ethan was on his back stiff. God it couldn't have done him any good fitting this long! His face was red. She filled the syringe. "You'll be fine Ethan. In just a minute ok. Trust me!"

Alice injected him then checked his eyes. The seizure slowly subsided. He lay on his back unmoving eyes closed.

"Oh god no!" Alice said. She was suddenly afraid she'd have him too much and it stopped his heart

Dupe arrived. "What the hell?"

"Restrain her!" Danny threw Sheila towards dupe and went over to Ethan.

Alice looked 1 second away from starting CPR. Danny checked his pulse, his eyes then his temperature with the back of his hand.

"I picked up the right bottle didn't I Danny?" she asked panicking pushing the bottle at him.

He nodded.

"Why isn't he awake then?" she asked almost hysterical. "It's fast acting! God I gave him too much and he's in a coma isn't he?" tears slid down her cheeks.

"How much did you give him?"

"25mls."

He shook his head. "No that is fine! Go get him some water yeah Alice?"

She ran inside and came out with a glass of water. Danny lifted Ethan's head and trickled a little bit in his mouth.

"C'mon Ethan!" Alice whispered pleading. Tears had made tracks down her dusty cheeks.

Ethan's eyes fluttered. Opened slowly. Looked around.

"Wow!" he croaked. "I feel hangover! Urgh my head!"

"Ethan have you got any other symptoms nausea, dizziness?" Danny asked.

"I feel weird but I haven't got any of those symptoms." he said weakly.

Danny pulled out his phone and ran the police he then helped Ethan up as Alice retrieved the keys to the car.

She unstrapped Daniel and hugged him close. "Mummy's sorry baby. Not nice being stuck in a car with the windows open a little bit but that nasty woman was gonna take you away!"

(X) (5 Minutes Later)

Ethan was sat in the living room with Dee Ess and Dee Jay. In other words Danny senior and Danny Junior. Danny had Daniel lain on his changing mat and was changing him. Alice was stood on the veranda at the top of the stairs getting some air.

Alice stretched and took a deep breath of African air. She looked across the land she called home. A little piece of home was missing but hopefully Lexi would be home soon. The police car pulled up.

"She'd through there." Alice told them pointing in the direction of the front door.

She then carried on with those thoughts at hand. She and Danny had to start thinking of birth control again. Especially since they knew it was possible for them to have children. Maybe when Dee Jay is a few years old and Lexi has got her complete all clear they could try again. This time without the stress. She heard a high pitched shriek and started to turn. A hard body ploughed into her side. She felt herself fly through the air and hit the stairs with a thud. The body flew through the air with her and landed on top of her. She felt a pain in her head as it connected with the bottom stair and then winded as the body landed on her. She lay still, her back twisted. As the officers pulled the load off her she felt a searing pain in her lower back.

Danny heard maniacal laughter, he placed Daniel in his Moses basket.

"Watch him please Ethan." Danny asked.

"Sure."

He walked outside and saw Alice lain on the ground still. Sheila looked triumphant.

"Oh God!" he ran downstairs.

"I hope I killed her!" she laughed again. As an officer dragged her to the car.

The other officer was on his radio requesting an ambulance.

Danny was kneeling beside Alice. Her eyes opened as he whispered her name. She lay awkwardly.

"An ambulance is on the way sir."

"Alice honey are you ok?"

"I dunno!" she admitted panting. She then gasped as an even more intense pain shot up her spine. She started to curl up then her back arched.

"Alice?" he asked alarmed.

"My back. It's on fire!" she hissed. Panted more. "I got told to be careful. They said I could end up paralysed again!" she breathed slowly.

"Won't happen he assured her.

"Then why do I feel like someone has a red hot poker pressed to my back, and my feet are tingling too!" she said through clenched teeth.

"Alice pain is good remember. If you were paralysed you'd feel nothing. You are fine ok!" he yelled.

The ambulance turned the corner and the police car pulled away.

"I'm sorry honey!" Alice said.

"Don't be daft. I don't even know why your apologising!"

Alice was rolled onto a stretcher then placed inside the ambulance. Danny informed the paramedic of the specifics of her spinal injury. They nodded.

"He's not coming!" Alice said loudly.

"I am!" he replied.

"Daniel!" she reminded him.

He nodded.

"I'll be fine Danny and whatever you do don't tell my mum!" she warned.

"Ok, I wish I was going with you!" he said,

"Me too Danny!"

He kissed her softly then climbed from the ambulance. They drove away.

A/N will alice's back b ok? hmmmm you'll have 2 wait and see x :)
