Found a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom. Think its Charlies.
Charlie couldn't get that test message out of her head as she drove Ruby to school the next morning. She knew that she shouldn't have left her pregnancy test in the bathroom. It was careless and stupid of her.
"How are you going to tell Brax?" Ruby asked, breaking the silence.
Charlie glanced over at her daughter and increased her grip on the steering wheel. "I don't know Rubes."
"Your pregnant Charlie, thats huge!" Ruby exclaimed.
Charlie sighed. "I will tell him. Just not now."
"So when?" Ruby pressed. "You can't put this off forever Charlie!"
"I know Ruby, just leave it alone!" Charlie snapped, pulling up in a car park at Angelo's.
"Charlie-" Ruby began.
"How many times do I have to tell you to leave it?" Charlie snapped, cutting Ruby off. Glancing at Ruby, Charlie could tell that she had hurt her. "Look, I'm sorry."
"Its okay," Ruby responded. "I'm going to be a big sister." She mused.
"Yeah..." Charlie smiled, opening her car door. "Don't tell Brax, okay?" She told Ruby, getting serious again.
"I won't." Ruby promised, getting out of the car.
When Charlie and Ruby entered Angelo's, Brax walked up to them straight away.
"Hey," Brax said, wrapping his arms around Charlie while Ruby went to Casey who was sitting at the bar, "What happened last night? You and Ruby shot off pretty fast."
"Yeah I know," Charlie answered. "Don't worry, it was nothing." She glanced over at Ruby, who was talking to Casey.
"Charlie, look at me," Brax said, "What is it?"
"Ruby!" Charlie called, "Look, I'll see you later." She told Brax.
"Charlie..." Brax sighed.
Ruby looked over to see Charlie walking out of the restaurant. "I'll see you at school babe." Ruby said and kissed Casey quickly on the lips.
"Ruby!" Brax called, but was too late, Ruby had already left. He sighed and walked back to the bar.
"You think you can find out whats going on?" Brax asked.
"Hmm?" Casey responded.
"The Buckton's." Brax told him, pointing at the door, where Charlie and Ruby had just been.
"Oh," Casey answered, "Maybe."
"You think you can?" Brax asked.
Casey shrugged. "Maybe."
After school, Ruby and Casey were sitting at a table at Angelo's, sharing a pizza that Brax had given them.
"Why did you have to leave last night?" Casey asked.
Ruby looked up from her slice of pizza. "Why?" She asked curiously.
"Just wondering." Casey answered.
Ruby looked around quickly before telling Casey in a low voice, "Charlie's pregnant."
Casey was speechless. "Is it..."
"Brax's?" Ruby asked. "Yep."
"Wow." Casey commented.
Ruby nodded. "I'm going to be a big sister." She gushed, not knowing that Brax had overheard everything.
At home, Charlie was sitting at the kitchen table with her head in her hands, a glass of water by her side, when she heard a knock at the door. She didn't want to get it, but being the only one home, she was forced to. Or, she could just ignore it. Yes, that was what she was going to do.
"Charlie, I know your in there." Brax called.
Charlie closed her eyes and ignored him.
"Charlie!" Brax called again.
When she opened the door, she turned around and went back to her seat.
"Charlie, I know whats going on," Brax stated, "And you lied to me this morning."
"How do you know?" Charlie asked, running a hand through her hair, "Ruby told you, didn't she?"
"She didn't. Well, not to my face anyway," Brax answered, "Charlie, you lied to me."
"You lied to me about Lilly." Charlie retorted.
"Charlie, you know why I did," Brax threw his hands up in the hair, exasperated, "This is big."
Charlie put her head back in her hands, "I know, thats why I didn't tell you, I wasn't ready."
Brax sat down in the chair next to Charlie and pulled her hands away from her face, gripping onto them. "Charlie, we'll be fine."
"You think so?" Charlie asked softly.
"I know we will," Brax told her confidently, "You have Ruby, she turned out fine."
"I had my parents helping me though," Charlie admitted.
"Well," Brax answered, "This time, you have me."
Charlie smiled before pulling Brax in for a kiss.
