"Evan's brought his girlfriend back...and She's pregnant..." Alice looked before her at the silent almost lifeless body in front of her. She sighed Sadly.

"oh Danny!" She cried. "Where's your fight? The Danny i know would have flipped at that...but no...you're just laying there..." she closed her eyes tightly. "Don't give up...I Do Love you Daniel Trevanion...and i will wait for an eternity if it means i get to have you back in my arms."

"So...how's the baby and stuff?"

Meredith Giggled.

"And stuff? Oh My Evan you've got a lot to learn..."

"I Mean it Mers...Is everything you know..ok?"

"Everything is fine...A healthy baby boy."

Evan smiled as his eyes lit up slightly.

"We're having a son?"

Meredith nodded.

"You cool with that?" She asked.

"Cool with it? That's ace!"

Meredith sighed contentedly and lay back onto the fresh grass looking up at the bright blue sky.

"I have to Say Evan...you've surprised me..."

Evan lay next to her.

"Oh?"

"Yea...well for starters you took the whole baby thing better than i thought...but...secondly...why are you such a jerk to your family?" Meredith asked cautiously.

"A Jerk?" he questioned.

"Yea! I mean...you were never like that to me...not really...so...why does all your family hate you?"

"I...Well i..."

"Or should i be asking why do you hate them?"

"I don't Hate them!" He retorted.

"Ok then..." Meredith sat up to look at him. "Why do you hate Alice?"

Evan frowned and sighed.

"I don't...hate Alice..."

"Well...that's not what it looks like from here? And ...if i'm going to be honest here...constructively...i don't get it either...Alice seems Lovely...and i've only met her once! Why or how could you possibly hate someone who openly allows you into their home and then allows for a waif and stray..a pregnant waif and stray to stay with you?"

Evan fell silent as he blushed slightly.

"I've missed you Meredith..."

"And i've missed you too...but we've got a lot to do and sort...and so have you."

"It's gunna suck right?"

"Oh yea!" She laughed. "You are going to be swallowing a shed load of pride..."

"Great!"

"But...you'll feel all the better for it...and they will love you all the more."
