Charlie had just started to pack things out of the kitchen into boxes when Ruby came home. She looked a bit miffed "I thought you were staying at Casey's tonight" Charlie asked.
"I was meant to be, but then Heath and Brax turned up with this woman" Ruby started to explain.
"Lola?" Charlie asked curiously.
"Yeah, anyway she was out of it. Casey freaked out and told me to go home" Ruby was a little annoyed.
"Yeah Heath came to us earlier and said they had to get her from Mangrove River" Charlie and Ruby were trying to put their stories together, to try and make sense of it all.
"Heath said something about a crack house" Ruby remembered, Charlie's eyes widened. Why the hell were Brax and Heath at a crack house, who the hell was Lola? She thought to herself.

Meanwhile back at the Braxton's house. Heath, Brax and Casey had gone into detox mode. They removed every single bottle of alcohol from the house; they now just had to play a waiting game.
Heath and Brax decided Casey didn't need to be in the house when Lola woke up. Both of them knew what to expect so Heath took Casey to the movies. Brax thought it would be best if he dealt with Lola on his own. He sat in the kitchen and waited for her to wake up.
It was about 8.30pm when she finally woke up; Lola was confused when she looked around. It wasn't long until she realised where she was, she saw Brax's surf board propped up in the corner of the room. She quickly rushed over to her jacket and frantically searched her pockets. She realised someone had taken it. Lola rushed through into the kitchen.
Brax had heard Lola stirring in the room next door he braced himself for her reaction when she finally realised what she was looking for had gone. Brax had been in this position with Lola many times before. He winced as he heard the bedroom door open.
"Where the hell is it?" Lola screamed at him as she stomped through the house.
"It's gone" Brax said as he turned to face her, Lola was searching the kitchen cupboards like a crazy person "That gone too" Brax added as he walked towards her.
"Well that's fine I'll go and get some more" Lola exclaimed as she tried to push Brax out of the way. He was too strong for her tiny frame. Brax grabbed her arms.
"You're not going anywhere" he said as he held her firm.
"Fine" She yelled as she managed to break free from his grip. Lola continued to pace the house frantically.
"Lola what's going on" Brax tried to ask her
"Nothing, I don't know what you mean" she snapped.
"Fine well if you won't tell me I'll ring mum" Brax said as he took the phone out of his pocket.
"Ok, I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to freak out" Lola had calmed down a little, Brax nodded.
"I came back because I need your help" Brax sighed, he couldn't believe she was finally admitting after all these years she had a drug and alcohol addiction, his relief was soon turned to fear when she told him what she needed help with.
"I'm pregnant Brax, and I need you to help me fix it" Lola spoke with no emotion.
"You're what?" Brax now feared for this young woman, after what he had witnessed at the crack house his head was now going into overdrive.
"Brax you promised" Lola reminded him.
"How could you be so stupid? Do you even remember how you got pregnant?" Brax was furious with her. Lola just looked at her feet.
"Great so it could be anybody, with any kind of disease, JESUS LOLA" Brax threw his hands behind his head "Right we have to take you to hospital and get you tested"
Lola shook her head "No way, I'm not going in no hospital. I know whose baby it is"
Brax grabbed Lola's arm "That's not the point, you're still gonna get checked out" he ordered as he dragged her out to the car.
Brax dragged a reluctant Lola up the corridor towards the main reception. He was interrupted by a worried looking Sid "Is there a problem?" he wondered why Brax was dragging her up the corridor so forcefully.
"Yeah she needs whatever tests you have got for unprotected sex and drug abuse" Brax blurted out to a very embarrassed looking Sid.
"Right ok, well do you want to bring her through here?" Sid said as he showed Brax the side room.
"Er…I am still here you now" Lola spat angrily.
"So what's you're name" Sid said as he bent down in front of the woman, Lola just glared at Brax.
"Her name's Lauren Braxton" Brax interrupted.
"Braxton, so she's a relative of yours then?" Sid questioned curiously.
"Er…Yeh she's my…"
