Remembering Unknown Faces

Hey guys I don't know why I am about to do this but I started a new story! A bit foolish of me seen as I end up slacking when it comes to updating...

Anyway here goes, not much to say in the summary, just going to write and see where this goes. This is a Chax fic but please be warned it might not be to every ones liking. I do hope everyone enjoys it but as future chapters come I will understand if I don't have many readers left! Consider this as pre warning! Please give it a chance… thanks.

Remembering Unknown Faces

Chapter 1 - Daddy

Charlie's P.O.V

''Brax stop it'' I mumbled as he removed my top over my head... ''mhmm Braaax'' I wouldn't normally complain but it was ten in the morning, we were in the kitchen, me propped on the work surface and making out with my fiancé. Even though it was our house sometimes it felt more like a walk in centre and I didn't want anyone to walk in on me and Brax in a semi - naked state.

''I'll be quick'' Brax seductively said as he traced my arm with lingering kisses,

''someone will walk in''

''they won't'' he was just ignoring what I had to say and continue his attack on me, his hands snaking around to the back of my body, moving slowly up towards my bra strap, my body was shivering with tingles at his touch. No matter how many times he touched me, each time it sent me into oblivion.

''You have five minute'' I whispered into his ear, I felt his face break into a smile which caused me to slap his chest, ''don't be so smug Braxton''

He nodded his head at me and then was about to kiss me again when we heard someone screech...

''Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxxx, Charliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeee '' it was ear splitting and we both knew there was only one person who could produce such a noise. RUBY.

I looked around the kitchen to locate my top, which was conveniently thrown into the dirty pile of washing in the sink. Brax picked it up and started laughing, it was wet and soggy.

''Here you go Mrs.'' he threw the top at me which I squealed and pushed away from myself.

''Brax please give me your shirt''

''No''

''Please'' I pleaded with him and did my best puppy dog expression.

'This should be fun, I can't wait for you to talk your way out of this one Buckton'' he laughed and I could hear Ruby getting closer. He was standing in between my legs and teasing me by brushing his hand up the inside of my legs.

'Give me your shirt or no sex for a week Brax, I mean it' I threatened him

'Nah you wouldn't... would ya?' he questioned after looking at the seriousness of my face.

He quickly removed his shirt and threw it at me just in time for Ruby to come around the corner. He was still in between my legs, he moved his face close to my ear before whispering, 'I should get extras now''

'Gosh you two, are you deaf, I have been calling out since ages'' Ruby asked annoyed,

I looked over at Casey, bless him, he looked like he had been dragged out of bed, his eyes not fully opened and when he spoke it confirmed that he was still in dreamland. 'She has been screaming from the moment we left the front door guys, I'm surprised America didn't hear her''

'Oh ha ha'' she replied sarcastically.

One thing that me and Brax both had learnt was if you don't stop these two bickering they would go on for hours and actually forget the purpose they were here for. Casey lived with Heath next door, Ruby's permanent residence was with me and Brax but she spent most of her time over their house.

''We heard the screaming, we just chose to ignore it'' Brax replied cheekily which caused Ruby to shoot him one of the famous Buckton death stare's.

''So you don't want to know the news I figure then'' she said dangling a white very official looking envelope at us.

''and what news would that be'' I asked trying to grab the envelope from her whilst Brax had his arm draped lightly around my waist.

''nuhuh Charlie this has nothing to do with you''- she opened the envelope and slowly took out the sheets of paper, ''this mummy dearest is to confirm that Mr Daryl Braxton has legally adopted a one Ruby Buckton'' as she finished the sentence my face broke out into a smile and Brax let go of me, he grabbed the letter out of Ruby's hand, read it few times, he rubbed his eyes and then re-read it again, like me his lips morphed into a giant smile. He threw the papers in the air before grabbing Ruby. I looked over at Casey who like me was watching the two people in the middle of the room happy dancing. It was perfect.

Brax's P.O.V

''Dad'' wow it sounded so surreal someone calling me dad, I was glad Ruby was repeating it again and again as it really was making me happy. I was not there from the word go, no blood relation, not even this paper was needed to confirm that she meant to me as much as what her mum did. I had been her dad for the last three years and never loved her any less than what I would do a child which shared my DNA.

''Dad'' she called me again and my face broke out into a smile, ''so then Dad what do I get for being the most marvelous, amazing, awesome daughter in the whole wide world''

''erm you get the privilege of calling him dad'' Charlie intervened from her location in the kitchen.

''Nah mum, that's standard, I should get something at least''

''Let me see, what would you like'' I asked knowing it would be super expensive but I didn't care. She was my daughter and she would get whatever she wanted.

''erm how about you take me shopping and I can decide''

''Okay, give me an hour and I will take you'' I hadn't even finished my sentence of before Charlie made her way over to us,

''Okay let's get one thing out in the open, Brax you can't give into her, and you Ruby need to stop taking advantage of his kind nature''

''I'm sensing slight jealousy, mother you are not the only lady in Brax's life''

''Oh really''

''yes really''

''Okay ladies' I stood up and wrapped my arms around Charlie before settling a kiss on her shoulder and then looking at Ruby, 'both of you are my special ladies and I love you both and Charlie I can spoil my daughter'' I saw a snigger from Ruby clearly amused thinking she had me wrapped around her little finger, ''yeah Ruby smirk all you want but with getting spoilt there are also some ground rules that I can impose now I have parental responsibility''

I watched as her face dropped. She clearly knew she was not going to like my ground rules. Oh well.

2 weeks later

Charlie's P.O.V

'Brax it is a big deal''

''nope it isn't babe''

''yes it is''

''nuhuh your just making it a big deal'' he was casually responding and I was sat on the end of the bed on my knees getting frustrated.

''you are spoiling her and she has you right where she wants you''

''Charlie please I am not spoiling her''

I was going to respond but knew there was no point and Brax as stubborn as he is will not be budged.

''fine'' I scoffed and got into bed trying to create as much distance as I could from him. I pulled the covers and snuggled into bed before I felt two giant hands wrap around my waist and pull me backwards. I was now snuggled into Brax and he kissed down my neck.

''Baby I will get you a car too if you want''

I laughed and turned around so I could see his face.

''Really a car, I rather have something else'' I smiled a cheeky grin and he leaned forward to kiss me, our fight was over and the kiss intensified, he knew exactly what I wanted, he pulled the covers up over our heads and next thing I knew Brax had managed to strip me naked and into oblivion….

-x-

I walked out of my bedroom in a groggy state in Brax's shirt. Making my way down and to the kitchen I could hear Ruby pleading with Brax, most likely bugging him about what present we had gotten for her.

''Please Dad…'' It still felt so weird hearing Ruby call Brax dad and what was more unusual she has started to call me mum.

''Happy birthday gorgeous'' I walked into kitchen greeting Ruby on the way before kissing her forehead and then making my way over to Brax who was smiling more than normal today.

''Morning sleepy head'' he kissed me lightly on the lips,

''I wouldn't be so sleepy if you hadn't kept me awake all night'' I replied cheekily before turning to look at Ruby, who had a disgusted look plastered on her face.

''I think I nearly just barfed up my breakfast'' she made her face like she was vomiting which caused Brax and me to chuckle at her.

''Right please can I have my present now'' she asked with her best puppy dog eyes.

''what do you reckon Brax, I think she needs to sweat it out a little bit more''

''nooo that's not fair, It is my birthday and you're supposed to be spoiling me not making me sweat it out guys''

''okay Ruby we don't want you to be upset or anything, and we love you lots but I'm sorry we couldn't buy you anything, we didn't have enough money and I am very sorry, maybe we could do something together, maybe go to the beach'' I told her trying to keep a poker face which was proving very difficult with the clown next to me who was grinning away like a Cheshire cat.

''Charlie really, the beach, we go there every day and you don't need to try and fool me, that buffoon has already told me you have bought me something''

Instinctively I swung my hand and hit Brax on the chest,

''I swear Brax you just cannot keep anything in can you''

''Gosh the daughter breaks me down by mentally torturing me in revealing if we have bought her something and the mother is hell bent on breaking me down physically'' he rubbed his chest making it redden worse than what it actually was.

''Guys come on, give me it''

-x-

''You guys are the best, you bought me a car! A bloody car... gosh this is the best birthday present ever''

It had been twenty minutes since we gifted Ruby her present and she was over the moon.

''Can I take it for a drive, please could I''

''Yep but you have to have a responsible adult with you until you are insured'' I told her

''Oh well looks like the two of you aren't coming'' she retorted back at me and Brax,

''I'll have you know I am very responsible when I want to be, and less of the cheek madam coz you won't be driving at all'' I told her matter of factly.

''Right guys quit your banter and lets go to the beach, Ruby you can drive'' Brax intervened and Ruby's face lightened up.

45minutes later

Brax and Ruby had been in the water for the last 30 minutes and I was sat on the beach, topping up my tan when Brax came running out of the water, droplets of water dripping down his chest and glistening as the sun hit them, his hair wet and ruffled making him look even more sexier than he was. He stabbed the surf board in to the sand and came and sat next to me placing a kiss on my forehead

''Come on babe, why don't you give it a go'' Brax asked as he gestured towards the water,

''What, surfing, no way that's not me''

''Oh come on, I have been known to be an awesome teacher, very hands on'' he grabbed my waist causing me to squeal.

''I'm sure you are but this is one study I don't want to take part in please''

Brax gave me his best puppy dog eyes but I was stubborn and not about to be swayed.

''Nope, I promise you one day in the very distant future, if it's the last thing I ever do but I will surf. for now let's go swim''

Next thing I knew, Brax had lifted me off the sand and running towards the water ready to throw me in. I was waiting to get thrown in; instead he lowered me gently into the water. I had my back towards him and there was a slight distance between the two of us, he waddled closer until my back was pressed against his chest where he began to kiss me slowly but passionately down my neck leaving a ticklish feeling behind. I could anticipate what was coming next and as much as I love Brax, PDA's at this level was a no no.

I know at the start I wrote about how it won't be to everyone's liking and then I gave you a happy chapter, let's just say it will start of slow so don't be phased by happy Chax! Lol.

Abz…
