Ricky and Brax
Set when Brax went to prison and Ricky was left behind.
Chapter 1
Ricky's prov
It has been 2 months since Brax was sentenced to 15 years in prison with a non parole of 10 years. I sat up in bed pulling a shirt over my body standing up as a sudden rush of sickness over took me, running to the bathroom, standing myself up, wiping my face, sighing this had been the fourth time I was sick and I was getting tired of it. I had a quick shower before making my way out to the kitchen contemplating whether I should eat something since everything I have eaten so far I have thrown up an hour or two later.
Walking out of the bedroom I spotted Casey and Heath sitting at the table
"morning Rick" heath piped up first as I poured myself a cup of coffee and Joined them at the table
"morning" I replied taking a sip from my coffee
"how are you feeling" casey questioned as I looked up at him, he could see I din't look greqt physically and emotionally
"great" I lied as I stood up placing my cup on the bench "Ill see you guys later" I stated trying to dodge anymore questions as I left the house.
Casey's prov
"she isn't good" casey stating the obvious
"yeah I kind of figured that" heath replied with a smart tone as he stood up putting his dishes in the sink "have you herd from the lawyer about him having visitors"
"no, not yet" casey replied as he stood placing his dishes in the sink
"ok, I have to go to work, Ill see you later" heath stated as he walked out of the house
Ricky's prov
I walked down to the beach, the wind pushing my hair back as feet sunk into the warm sand with every step I took, I reached the end of the walk noticing the doctor who was looking after Josh come out of the water dragging a kayak out with him.
"hey" I greeted as he looked up smiling
"hey" he greeted back "how are you?" he questioned
"I've been better" I replied looking down at my feet
"what do you mean, physically or emotionally?" he questioned curious and worried
"both" I mumbled looking up at his reaction
"physically whats wrong" he questioned, he knew about Brax and how it hurt me that he left and he wouldn't be coming home for at least ten years
"I have been sick about 4-5 times, I can't stand the smell of cooking meat, and craving alot of dairy products at the moment" I replied
"ok, erhh have you been tired alot" he questioned as I got more confused
"yeah, why?" I replied
"have you eaten this morning" he questioned worried with how he would tell me that Im pregnant
"no I was just heading to the diner to get something" I stated "Nate can you tell me whats wrong" I questioned following me as he walked over to the diner
"Can I join you and we can talk about it" he replied as I followed him into the diner and he selected a table near the back, I joined him as he looked at his hands
"Nate please tell me" I stated as he looked up at me and sighed
"I don't know how to put this but... I think your pregnant" he stated as I looked at him shocked
"um... Ok" I managed to spit out still shocked
"Do you still want to eat something or should I take you to the home" he questioned
"um... can you take me home, I should know for sure" I stated pushing my seat back walking out as Nate followed.
Few minutes later we reached the house walking in as he handed me a pregnancy test before I disappeared in the bathroom, walking out I placed it on the dining table as we waited for the time to go, it was the longest 3 minutes of my life as we leaned on the bench, Nate was confident that it would be positive because I rattled off at least four common signs of someone being pregnant.
"Is he aloud visitors?" Nate questioned breaking the silence as I looked down at the glass of water, shaking my head signalling no
"not yet" I managed to say as Nate looked at his watch
"Do you want me to look" he asked knowing it would be hard for me, I sighed pushing myself off the bench walking towards the test, turning it over I went silent taking in the result, a tear running down my cheek finally managing to say "It's positive", Nate pushing himself off the bench, walking towards me as he pulled me into a hug before I crumbled into a mess on the ground.
I placed the test in my room hiding it from view from the rest of the family before returning to the dining table where Nate had made a coffee for himself and me.
"thanks for staying" I managed to say looking up as a smile appeared on his face
"your more than welcome" he replied as I smiled weakly at him
"so I think you should come into the hospital so I can do some tests and determine how far you are in the pregnancy" he stated as I took a long sip from my cup
"can we do this in a few days" I questioned frowning, I wasn't in the mood to talk about anything with the pregnancy as I was adjusting to the fact that the child isn't going to have a father for 10 or 15 years of its life and Brax won't know the child until he gets out of prison
"sure" Nate replied as a call came through on his phone, he answered it, standing up
"are you gonna be ok because I have to go to the hospital" he questioned
"yeah you go" I replied as he rushed out of the door before I could thank him again
I decided to sleep as I was quite tired and it was only 11am, knowing I could sneak an hour in before anyone came home for their lunch break, I fell asleep quickly.
Casey's prov
It was about 12:30 and it was nearly my lunch break when I got a phone call from the lawyer notifying me that Brax could have visitors, I was so happy it was the call I was waiting for this whole time, as we hadn't talked to him or seen him for 2 months. I walked home expecting Ricky to be there, walking in I couldn't find anyone.
"Ricky" I yelled
Ricky's prov
"Ricky" yelling came through the house waking me up, realising it was Casey I groaned as I pulled myself out of bed walking towards the door
"what casey" I yelled meeting him in the lounge still sleepy
"oh shit sorry, were you sleeping" he questioned, knodding my head
"whats the problem" I questioned as he smiled at me
"Its not a problem" he stated as I looked confused
"Casey spit it out, I dont have all day" I replied upset that I was woken
"Brax is aloud visitors, and we can visit him tomorrow" he stated still smiling, I was quite shocked even though I have wanted to see him, today I just wanted to forget him, I had enough on my plate
"great" I lied trying to be happy "is he aloud to call people" I questioned
"um yea he gets two calls a day from tomorrow onwards" casey replied I smiled about to walk away "are you alright Ricky?" he questioned
"um yeah, you boys visit him tomorrow and tell him to call me after" I stated walking into the kitchen
"Ricky, why don't you want to visit him tomorrow" casey questioned walking out to the kitchen, following me
"I can't... I have to much on my mind" I replied as I turned to face casey and a tear streamed down my face
"aw Ricky come here" he replied pulling me in to hug him "he would want to see you over our ugly mugs" casey whispered and I let out a little giggle "but if you don't want to go tomorrow we won't make you, and we will pass your message on to him" casey stated as I pulled away from him smiling
"thanks case" I replied
So Ricky dosen't want to see Brax yet?
What will happen when he calls her, will she tell him?
