CHAPTER 2

CHARLIE POV

I looked at her gently encouraging her to tell me her last name "oh… ah sorry I'm Bella Braxton" I stood in utter shock as I heard her say the word Braxton. I was snapped out of my trance when I heard Ruby say "WHAT! Did you say Braxton?" I glanced at Bella who looked slightly bewildered at Ruby's outburst "uh.. um, ah yeah I did… why?" she asked visibly confused. I finally found my voice as I turned to Brax who was standing beside me with Casey at his side, when I heard Bella. "oh Brax, Casey! I didn't see you there!" Bella squealed hugging Casey but stopping before Brax seeing him staring at me. "Brax, what is going on here, who is she?" I asked sounding fragile, scared of the answer I would receive… did he lie to me again? Did he already have a child? "Ah, Charlz this is Bella, obviously. Um she is our sister." I breathed out a huge sigh of relief she wasn't his child but his sister. "Oh.." I muttered.

RUBY POV

"You have a sister" I squealed causing people to stare. "Ah, yeah maybe we should take this outside" Brax said noticing my cheeks flush "Yeah, okay." As they all walked outside I couldn't hold back "Okay so, she is not your daughter Brax" I quizzed Ruby say "what! ew no!" Bella squealed grossed out. "No Ruby, Bella is not my daughter, she is just my younger sister."Brax replied. I glanced at Charlie who look relieved. "Ok, so how old are you then?" Charlie piped up "I'm seventeen" Bella said. I glanced at again Charlie and watched as a smile spread across her face, which I could tell was not false "Well Bella, It is nice to meet you." She said as she hugged Bella "ah, yeah you too.. um who are you again?" she asked slightly embarrassed "oh I am Charlie, Brax's fiancée" A glimmer of recognition spread over her face "oh right, my mum told me a bit about you, although she didn't tell me you two were engaged." She replied, Charlie smiled before grabbing Brax's hand "Yeah, the wedding is in a fortnight, which of course you will be invited to, but uh honey we have to get going or we will be late for the ultrasound." She said "Ultrasound?" Bella echoed "oh yeah Belle, Charlie is pregnant" My gaze returned to Bella, I saw a look of hurt in her eye before it was suddenly gone only to be replaced by a glamorous grin "oh that's fantastic! I am going to be an auntie… again!" she replied happily. Brax and Charlie laughed before walking off hand in hand. When Charlie suddenly turned around and walked back towards us "Bella" Bella looked up "Where are you saying?" Charlie questioned warmly "ah, I am planning on staying at the Sands for a day or two then I don't know" Bella smiled "Well, if it's cool with you guys, you should stay with us" Casey, Brax and I all nodded in agreement Bella looked taken back "wha… no I couldn't impose" she replied stunned. "You won't be imposing, I mean you will be family in 2 weeks and we need to get to know you by then" I told her trying to convince her "and you can stay in my room until we get the spare tidied up" Bella smiled shyly "Well, only if you're sure that its okay, you are so kind… Thank you so much" She replied hugging Charlie then me. "Okay it is settled, Case, Rubes you can show Bella back to the house then" Charlie smiled before her and Brax walked off again.
