Chapter 3 Thanks you for the reviews and I enjoy seeing the amount of people who add it to their alerts
Alexis: Casey when did you get here?
Casey: At about 5am this morning.
Alexis: Where's Ruby?
Casey: Still sleeping. Have you been a good girl?
Alexis: Always. Can we go down the beach?
Casey: We will have to ask your parents.
Alexis: Then ask dad, mum always says no to everything.
Brax had heard all of Casey and Alexis's conversation in the living room, and just shook his head. He didn't want their children favouring one parent over the other. He knew he needed to have a chat to her, but thought it would to best to wait for Charlie. Brax headed into the living room carrying Emily and with Lucas not too far behind.
Alexis: Daddy, can Case take me to the beach please?
Brax: No.
Alexis: Why? You normally never say no.
Brax: Because I said so. You need to head for a shower, we are having a family lunch down on the beach later and you can go then.
Casey: Rubes and I will head to the diner and organise some food, we want to catch up with April anyway.
Lucas: Can I come to?
Alexis: Me too
Brax: Lucas you can go, Alexis your mum and I want to have a chat with you without the audience before we head to lunch so no you have to stay here.
Alexis: BUT THAT'S UNFAIR!
Brax: No but's or if's. It's final and don't argue with me young lady, your 5 for 25.
Alexis stormed up to her room throwing a tantrum over what had just happened, which caused Emily to start crying and scream.
Ruby: Come on Lucas, let's get out of her. Your mum and dad have the two girls to keep in line.
Casey soon followed suit and headed out the door with Ruby and Lucas and headed to the diner to meet April for coffee and organise food for their family lunch down on the beach. Charlie had woken up to all the noise and before heading downstairs to see Emily and Brax, she headed into the 5 year Old's room to see what was going on.
Charlie: Baby, what's wrong?
Alexis: Dad's being totally unfair. He let Lucas go with Ruby and Casey and made me stay here because apparently you two need to talk to me.
Charlie: I found this in the lounge room, and the things you wrote about me.
Alexis: I was just angry with you mum, I love you. You're the best mum ever.
Charlie: How about we get dressed and we will head up to the surf club and have an ice cream and spend some time together before we go to lunch.
Alexis: I would love that, but what about Emily she can't be apart from you.
Charlie: I'm sure your father can look after her for half an hour.
Alexis hugged her mother and gave her kiss before starting to get dressed. Charlie headed down stairs to stay good morning to handsome husband and beautiful daughter who was now peacefully in his arms sleeping.
Charlie: I spoke to Alexis. I'm now the good parent and you're the bad one.
Brax: Why doesn't that surprise me?
Charlie: Can you look after Emily till we meet for lunch? I want to take Alexis and finish having a talk to her about why something just have to be the way they are? I think she is a bit jealous of how much time I spend with Emily.
Brax: Ok babe, but now I'm getting jealous about how much time you spend with the kids instead of me.
Brax put on a sad look, so Charlie kissed him passionately and said I'll show you tonight how jealous you shouldn't be of the children. Brax faced lit up, and just replied, I can't wait babe.
-Down at the Diner with Casey, Ruby, April and Lucas- Lucas:
Casey: Ok mate, we will leave the girls to have their little chat.
Ruby: Found yourself the love of your life yet?
April: No, but a couple of weeks ago I was at this place in Yabbie Creek with Dex and Xav, partying and accidently ended up drinking a bit to much.
Ruby: and?
April: I hooked up with someone I shouldn't.
Ruby: As in had sex with them?
April: Yeah.
Ruby: Who was it.. Dex or Xav?
April: Neither… It was one Heath Braxton.
Ruby: WHAT!
April: As I said I was really drunk and it sort of just happened, oh and I think I might be pregnant.
Casey: Enjoy your chat ladies?
Ruby: Um yeah, looking at the time we have to meet my mum and stepfather and siblings for lunch. April and I are going out tonight, just the two of us, aren't we?
April: Yeah, I'll see you tonight.
