A/N. Hi guys! This is my very first fanfic so sorry if it isn't brilliant. Thank-you to MelBelle94 for giving me the idea for this and I hope you like the story. Please read and review :) Xoxo Claudia.
"Casey!" Ruby playfully slapped her boyfriend on the arm.
"What!" Casey laughed through a mouthful of Ruby's chips.
"Hi" a young girl came up to the table that Casey, Ruby, Charlie, Brax and Heath were sitting at.
"Amy." Brax glared.
"I'm guessing you're Ruby?" the girl smiled warmly at the curious teenager.
"Uh, Rube, this is um, Amelia, she's ah..." Casey started to explain.
"Case" Heath warned.
"Brax's daughter" he finished, closing his eyes.
"What!" Charlie yelled.
"Casey, you idiot" Heath muttered, shaking his head.
"Charlie..." Brax took held of Charlie's hand.
"Uh, Case, why don't you, me, Ruby and Amelia go for a walk?" Heath suggested. Casey nodded, standing up and grabbing his girlfriend's hand.
"Charlie, I'm sorry" Brax said.
"Brax, we've been dating for weeks now, didn't you think to tell me that you have a child?" Charlie was upset that her own boyfriend didn't trust her.
"Charlie, I didn't think that you'd understand" Brax rubbed her hand with his fingers.
"Didn't understand? Have you forgotten about Ruby?" Charlie was starting to get angry and Brax could sense that.
"Please, just let me start from the start" Brax pleaded. After receiving a nod, he continued.
"Kyah could've killed me once I'd gotten her pregnant and wanted nothing to do with me. I convinced her to keep the baby but as soon as she was born, Ky disappeared. I was a similar age to you, fifteen. My aunty Jazz helped me out a lot but she died when I was twenty-two, Amelia was only seven. Case is only a few months older than her. Amy's had a rough life Charlie; I didn't want to say anything until I knew we were for real. Once I realised that we were, I was looking for the right time to tell you" Brax was incredibly sincere.
"I just wish you'd told me" Charlie let a single tear fall. "Listen, why don't we all have dinner tonight so Rubes and I can get to know Amelia?" Charlie smiled weakly.
"Great idea! My place at six" he kissed her on the cheek and Charlie stood up and left.
"Charlie!" Ruby called.
"In here" Charlie walked into the kitchen to find her daughter dumping her bag on the counter.
"Charlie?" Ruby whispered.
"I know Rubes, I know" Charlie hugged her daughter.
"How could he not tell you?" Ruby asked.
"He had his reasons, anyway, we're going to their house tonight to get to know Amelia" Charlie said.
"She doesn't seem too nice" Ruby rolled her eyes.
"Ruby! Don't judge her and do remember, she is Casey's niece" Charlie scowled.
"I've met her Charlie. She was so rude" Ruby whined.
"Casey, Amy, can you get that?" Brax called.
"No" the two teenagers yelled. Sighing, Brax washed his hands and walked over to the door, drying them on his pants.
"Hi" Charlie smiled.
"Hi girls, come in" Brax led them to the living room where Casey and Amy were sitting.
"Casey, shut up!" Amy yelled. She only ever called Casey 'Casey' when she was fighting with him, otherwise, it was always 'Uncle Casey.'
"Amelia Rose Braxton, I will not allow that as long as I live!" Casey shouted.
"You have one!" she rolled her eyes.
"Actually Amy, no I don't have a boyfriend" Casey grinned, wickedly.
"Woah, woah, woah! What's all this about boyfriends?" Heath marched into the room after just arriving home, catching the end of the conversation.
"Nothing Uncle Heath" Amy said quickly.
"Amy has a boyfriend" Casey told his older brother.
"She what?" Heath whispered, angrily. "Young lady; I prohibit you from boys for as long as Case and I live" Heath nodded. "Actually Brax, I think we should send her to an all-girl boarding school in England" Heath was quite happy with himself.
"Heath, I've already made up my mind, Amy's going to Summer Bay High with Case and as for you Casey, relax please. Am's got a valid point, you do have a girlfriend" Brax settled his brothers and daughter, Charlie and Ruby watching on silently. "No further discussion. Charlie, can you please help me with dinner?" he turned very sweet when addressing Charlie which infuriated Amelia. Bewildered, all Charlie could do was nod.
Dear Diary,
I met Dad and Uncle Casey's girlfriends today. I hate them. Dad's making me move to Summer Bay High now that Charlie knows about me. Arghh, stupid Charlie. And stupid Ruby too. I don't care how happy they make them, I hope Dad and Uncle Casey dump them both .Dinner was a disaster! Seems like everyone had a good time apart from me. Charlie and Ruby kept prodding me with questions. I'll write later, I'm too angry, I swear this pen is about to snap. I might go out to the garage to box a little. ARB.
