Hi, this is my first fic so please be nice. Any reviews will be greatly appreciated.

Theres not to much drama mainly a bit of a nice romantic charlie and brax story, although there will be a bit about the others.


Good Meets Bad

Charlie woke up with the sudden need to be sick; she jumped out of bed and ran to the toilet getting there just in time. A few seconds late she felt a soft hand on the small of her back. Feeling at ease she leant back into the man behind her smiling slightly.

'Feeling better now?' spoke more with concern than anything else.

She looked up and smiled half-heartedly. This had been a regular occurrence over the past two weeks.

'Don't you think it's time you took a test? It's not like we both don't know the answer.'

'I know, I will I promise. I'm just not ready for it to be confirmed yet.'

She sat up slightly to allow him to stand before feelings his arms around her sweeping her of the toilet floor. Squealing slightly from the shock of being picked up, she smiled and relaxed into the strong arms.

After placing her on the sofa, he walked into the kitchen to make some strong black coffee which he knew would be greatly accepted. Returning back into the front room, he smiled to see the woman he adored snuggled up with her daughter. After making sure she had everything she needed he went to change ready for an early morning surf, already planning to pick up a well overdue pregnancy test on his way home.

'Bye babe, make sure you get some rest, and Ruby look after your mum for me.' he called out before closing the door behind him.

Smiling into her daughters' hair she thought back to the pain they had both gone through in the past. Charlie and Ruby had grown up very happily as sisters, until the truth of Ruby's true parentage had come out. Charlie thought back to the day her daughter found out she was her mother, and remembers the hateful look in her eyes when she angrily shouted she never wanted to see her again. At that moment Charlie never thought she would have any relationship with her daughter never mind the loving mother-daughter relationship they share now. She was forced from her thoughts and back to reality by the sound of the back door.

'Will just be Casey.' Ruby stated looking up at her mum.

'Hey' Casey called as he entered the room, smiling at Charlie and kissing Ruby gently on the head. He sat on the sofa opposite taking a moment to admire his girlfriend looking so peaceful and young curled up in her mother's arms. 'Brax just popped into the restaurant, he said he'll be home soon though.'

Charlie smiled at the thought of Brax arriving home and at Ruby's boyfriend. Although initially against her daughters relationship with a member of the Braxton family even she had to admit that Casey was a good influence on her. That along with the realisation that she would be a hypocrite knowing full well she was also involved with a Braxton. Her life now she a far cry from the turmoil she was in six months ago. She and Brax were together but no one knew, she knew she loved him but she wasn't sure the effect this love would have on her career being the local police sergeant. It was hard for Brax to, even possibly life threatening if his 'gang' the 'riverboys' ever found out he was in a relationship with a cop. Putting all this aside, they faced their fears.
