Chapter 2:
Didn't You Know?
Brax walked into the Diner a bright smile on his face. He had everything he could have asked for. The love of his life, Charlie a woman he wanted to marry, he had his girlfriend's daughter who he treated as his own too. He also had brothers who meant everything to him even though he didn't always show it. He and Charlie had become out in the open a year ago. At first most people had something to say about their relationship but after a while it calmed down.
He walked up to the counter and ordered a short black from Leah. While he was waiting for his coffee, April who was a good friend of Ruby's and a new employee at the Pier Dinner walked up to him.
"Congratulations," April beamed.
"Um…thank you, why congratulations?" Brax asked confused as to why this girl was congratulating her. "Congratulations about the baby." She said. "What baby."
"Charlie's pregnant. Didn't you know?" April asked.
"Oh yeah about the baby, of course I knew, thanks." Brax lied. How could he not know that his girlfriend was pregnant, yet his girlfriend's, daughter's friend knew.
