I am glad to hear that your all liking Bella, I based her on myself and my life, which seems like an episode of Home and Away at times! When the Braxton's came on H&A I always felt as if something was missing and as I aspire to be an actress I started picturing myself playing their sister and I really feel Bella is just that missing piece of the puzzel. You hear that Home and Away writers... Cameron Welsh! I am glad you are all liking here and the mystery behind her, I promise she won't turn out to be evil, but I see her as more of the feminine form of Heath (as Brax mentioned) you know like a pretty face with a deathly glare sorta thing... dramatic I know but eh. Anyway... here is the fourth chapter, let me know what you think? Dannielle x
CHAPTER 4
Previously:
"well, I am 99.9% sure that you are both expecting…
CHARLIE POV
a girl." Sid finished. I squealed when I heard we were having a girl it was what I had secretly been hoping for although I would have been equally as happy with a boy. "I just run and fetch a few print outs for you." Sid said as he left the room closing the curtain behind him.
BRAX POV
I was still trying to let the words sink in… I was having a daughter. I couldn't believe it. A dream came true when suddenly Charlie's lips were on mine making me jump a little. She retreated and laughed "catch ya of guard there daddy?" she asked with a smirk on her face. I laughed "nah, I am just trying to get my head around it… a girl we are having a girl!" "I know! I am so excited!" she replied excitedly when Sid came back in with a small handful of photos "I printed out extras as I am sure you will want to give these to your family?" he said smiling at us. "Oh, yes thank you Sid!" Charlie said taking the photos and passing one to me before placing the rest carefully in her handbag. Sid got a nurse to come in and clean the gel off of Charlie before we left.
10 minutes later
CHARLIE POV
We arrived back to an empty house but Ruby and Casey had obviously brought Bella back as her suitcases were positioned out of the way beside the stairs. I sat at the table staring at the ultrasound photo while Brax made me a cup of de-caff coffee, one of the downsides of pregnancy when suddenly three teenagers came running up to the door carrying boards and laughing. I soon realised that is was Ruby, Casey and Bella. As they placed their boards up against the rack I noticed Ruby was wearing her aqua blue bikini that I bought her for her birthday while Casey was wearing Hurley boardies but Bella was wearing a bright orange and pink bikini with black short boardies which complemented her skin tone perfectly. I was amazed that after spending her entire life around boys and the riverboys to be exact that she could develop a dress sense that would rival any fashion model. I had to ask her for some tips! As they came through the door smiling Ruby raced over to the table and squeezed the life out of me "urgh, Ruby… need… air… NOW!" I gasped Bella laughed and Ruby let go "sorry, how did the ultrasound go?" she asked eagerly "good, here is a photo and were having… a girl!" I exclaimed Ruby squealed causing everyone to cover their ears before jumping up and down and hugging me "a sister, I'm getting a sister… Yay!" I laughed as she ran to Bella startling her before pulling her into a tight hug whilst jumping up and down. Bella might have impeccable style but Ruby's enthusiasm was in a league all of its own. I smiled before handing Ruby the picture "here, Rubes let go of the poor girl, you can keep this we have plenty extra" I said trying to save Bella before she was squished to death. Bella gasped as Ruby released her and ran to get changed taking the photo and Casey with her "Th..anks Cha..rlie" she gabbled I just smiled and took my coffee. "Okay, well I have to run back into the restaurant, will you two be okay here for a while?" Brax asked Bella and I. We both laughed before Bella answered "Of course we'll be okay, we've got Ruby to scare of any baddies with her over enthusiasm!" I laughed while nodding "we will be fine, hun" Brax smiled before kissing my forehead and ruffling Bella's hair and left, leaving the two of us alone. I was nervous I wanted her to like me after all in a fortnight we would be related. "So, where have you been the last few months?" I asked motioning for her to sit. "ah, I have been over in London for the last few months, I had some stuff to deal with and my aunt offered to take me in, which was the only way Brax would let me go." She replied smiling. "I had better get changed out of these wet clothes" she said standing which is when I noticed the scar on her right hip, I didn't look like your average, cut yourself surfing scar, this one was in the shape of a side ways eight… the infinity sign. Why would Bella have a scar of infinity? And why did it seem so familiar. I smiled before nodding and returning to my coffee, trying to think where I had seen a symbol like that before.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay, how did you like that… I thought of the scar thing last night and all will be revealed in the next few chapters. Heath still doesn't that know Bella is back that is coming up next chapter as well as his reaction and Bella meets Bianca for the first time. Do they hit it off? Or is this the first time we will see mean Bella? Let me know. I will try and update chapter 5 either tonight or tomorrow morning as a little Happy New Year present. Glad you're all liking Bella and my story keep reviewing! Dannielle x
