This is my new Home & Away story, it will have Brax and Ricky in, but for this, I have decided to focus on Heath and Bianca. I quite liked them and although, was not a watcher when they were in it, I liked the fact they left together, so they could be a family.

Set around the time when Rocco died, did not see when he died, but it looked incredibly sad :( but have watched a few clips on Youtube, so will watch some more clips of them, before I write them.

Background for this story:

Heath's one - night stand with Jess, didn't happen, so Harley doesn't exist.

Brax and Ricky are married, have been for a few months, Brax isn't in jail, he was around for Ricky when she went in to labour, she had a baby boy Casey, named after Casey, who Jake shot dead.

Heath and Bianca are still in The Bay, she is still principle of Summer Bay High School.

I think that's all the background for this story that you guys need, if I think of anymore I'll let you know.

Big thank you to waterlooroadfan2012, who gave me the title for this, I had one in mind but I didn't like it. Sorry, if the pace of this jumps too fast, I think it does. But (I think. With me, anyway, when I start a new story, I sometimes think the pace goes too fast )

As always, I don't own Heath and Bianca, I own the chapters I come out with and the spelling mistakes I make.


The Surrogacy

Chapter 1

Bianca could still remember what it was like when she couldn't wake Rocco up from his nap, after they'd came in from a walk along the beach.

Paramedics came and took Rocco away, he would need a post mortem, to reveal the cause of his death. Bianca didn't want them to cut up her baby. The results came back as Rocco dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Bianca was inconsolable; losing a child was devastating. She'd turned to Liam for drugs, while pushing Heath away, she'd pushed him out of Rocco's funeral plans, preferring to do everything herself.

After the service was over, she'd taken a walk along the beach and had suddenly collapsed to her knees and had begged her ex - husband Liam, for drugs to take the edge off the pain she was feeling. She knew that they wouldn't make her feel better. But she just needed something for now.

She'd refused to even consider having another child with Heath, thinking it would be disrespectful to Rocco and when Heath had mentioned wanting another child, Bianca had stormed off to the cemetery, and had sat, for what seemed like ages, in front of Rocco's grave and simply stared at the words on the grave.

In memory of:

Rocco Scott - Braxton.

7th June - 12 October 2012

Our little angel, forever in our hearts.


She found it hard to believe that Rocco was under there, in a box. She traced her fingers over her sons name and stood up as she started walking out of the cemetery and towards hers and Heath's house, which was opposite Brax's and Ricky's house, Bianca often saw Ricky taking Casey out in his pram as she went for a walk.

But now, Bianca realised, she wanted a baby. She looked at the grave one more time and then stood up, walking out of the cemetery and sighed.

"Heath" Bianca called as she stepped in to the house and put her keys down, it was the weekend so he had most likely gone for a surf with Brax. She walked in to the kitchen and switched on the kettle and waited for it to boil.

She sat in the living room with her drink and decided to get some marking done for her English class. She got her classes books out and began marking them.

"B?" Heath called as he walked through the house, his body wet from his surf as was his hair. He walked in to the kitchen and grabbed a beer from the fridge and walked back to the living room where Bianca was still marking her students books. She looked up as Heath put his beer down on the table.

"alright?" He asked.

Bianca nodded as she continued marking but her gaze was drawn to a framed picture of Rocco, smiling cheekily at the camera. Memories were all they had now and she had to learn to accept that Rocco would be with them in spirit, and not in person. She finished marking and closed her books as she put them back in her briefcase for Monday morning. She moved closer to Heath as he put his arm around her. Bianca leaned her shoulder on his chest as he stroked her hair and then rested his chin on her head.


Thank you for reading, I hope you liked the first chapter, have no idea when this will be updated, that's the trouble with me, forever starting new stories, but having no idea when to update them or have no idea how many chapters this will be. It will possibly have the same amount of chapters as "Life After Birth" (not that I know how many that story will have )

Short opening chapter, but I was trying to set the scene.

Think, that, unfortunately this will be the last Home & Away story from me. I need to stop with the ideas as I can't spend the rest of my life writing (while job hunting ) I may, from time to time post one - shots on Brax and Ricky, as I'm sure, as you guys, have most probably guessed by now, are my favourite ship in home and away, closely followed by Kyle and Phoebe.
