Introduction
Hi, I have been reading wonderful stories from my favourite Braxton family for quite some time now. I am finally being brave so go and try and put the ideas from my head on paper. Hope you enjoy this story, don't know if it will be a long fan fiction or very brief, I will take chapter by chapter and if I feel I a going off the beaten track I will end the story.
Thanks to all, and appreciate all reviews both good and
Chapter 1
13 year old Casey sat on his bed in his room holding onto a photo as tears fell from his eyes, it had only been one week since he buried his mom with his grandparents Stan and Olivia. It was only ever Casey and his mom, she used to always say to him it is Casey and I against the world as she wrapped her arms around him and held him tight. He remembered back to shortly after his 11th birthday when she sat him down and told him she was diagnosed with cancer and for at least an hour they both cried and held onto each other. He knew his mum battled the disease but in the end it took over her, the hardest being the last couple of months when she became so weak she spend most of the time in bed. It was then both of them moved in with her parents for extra help and support. Casey would sit with her and read, hold her hand and sometimes lie on the bed with her and listened to music. Since her passing he felt so lost in life, her mom rarely spoke and her dad spent a lot of time out in the garden shed.
Casey just continued on going to school, which he hated but he knew his mum would have wanted him to do well in school and make a good life for himself.
Back in Summer bay:
Darcy and Brax sat in the couch laughing and mucking about while playing with the Xbox. Ricky stood behind the couch, her hand on her abdomen and smiled thinking that by 5 months baby Braxton should have arrived into the world. Life seemed to be great for them. Heath and Bianca arrived back from there jobs, Bianca was a teacher at the local high school that Darcy attended and Heath worked at the local gym. Darcy enjoyed the best of both worlds spending time in either her dad's house or her uncle Brax's house.
Back to the city:
Olivia and Stan sat in the sitting room in deep conversation. "We are both moving on in life Stan we need to consider Casey's future".
"I no we promised Nathalie we would be there for Casey in every way but you must have seen he is either spending every hour in his bed room or causing trouble at school since she died".
"This is not healthy for a young boy I think he needs to get to know his other family".
"We don't need to rush into anything Olivia" exclaimed Stan, what if his dad is in prison he was somewhat of a gangster in his young day's. How would that be fair on Casey being with people he doesn't know.
"Stan what if anything happens to either of us or both he will end up in care, and how would that be fair". Tomorrow I think we need to make that drive to Mangrove river.
