Brax and Natalie return early from Angelo's as the place wasn't that business and Liam said he had it under control.
Lola and Casey were lying on the sofa with history text books in their hand revising and quizzing each other trying to get ready for their trials in a few weeks. Casey was getting very bored with revising all day and really wanted a break. He start kissing Lola's neck gently. "Casey stop". Lola said with a little giggle. "I love you". Casey said softly in her ear. Lola turned so she was lying look up at him face to face. "I Love you too" Lola said as the smiled and looked deep into each others eyes,their lips slowly and passionately connected. But were pulled apart when Brax and Natalie entered. "Oi ewww ". Brax said as he would,hand in hand with Natalie. "Awwww I think its cute". Natalie said as she ruffled Casey's hair. Lola had her head buried in Casey's chest trying to hide her bright,burning red cheeks. Just then Brax's phone rang as he sat down at the table.
Brax: Hello
Darcy: Hi, uncle Brax
Brax: Darcy what's wrong you with. your mum and dad are the ok?
Darcy:No that why I was phoning you they said they were 10 minutes away half an hour ago, I've called them both but no one answering.
Brax: ok Darcy keep trying to call them and I'll keep trying here...Darc you let me know if you here from them ok?
Darcy: yeah I will you .
Brax: bye.
After the phone call from Darcy Bax got up from the table and was trying to call Heath and Tegan. Pacing back and forth behind the sofa, Casey and Lola were now sitting up straight trying to work out what happened. Natalie was standing behind Casey on the sofa waiting for Brax to tell then what's going on. "Come on Heath pick up...". Brax was starting to get frustrated. "Brax what's going on". Lola said starting to get worried. "Darcy just phoned and said that Heath and Tegan hadn't picked her up yet and they said they were 10 minutes away half an hour ago... And Heath has my car so I can't go and look for them". Brax said as he dialed Tegan's number again. " O god you don't think Tegan having the baby early and they've gone to the hospital". Natalie said trying to calm a more frustrated any of them had a chance to answer there was a knock at the door. It was Sam one of the riverboys that Heath had leant his car too. " Here are the keys Brax the car is at the front tell Heath I said thanks". Sam said as he threw the keys to Brax. "Wait Sam did u see my car any where or Heath or Tegan near Mangrove river or anywhere". Brax said as he tried them both again on the phone. "No Brax I didn't come from the Mangrove river way and the last time I saw Heath and Tegan was this morning when I came to get the keys". Sam said trying to work out why they all looked so worried. "Ok thanks Sam..". Brax said. As Sam left he threw is phone on to the table and put his hand behind his head. Natalie walked up to Brax to try to calm him down. " Brax look at me ok getting angry isn't gonna help". Natalie said calmly as she rubbed the back of his back trying to calm him down. " What do we do now call the police". Casey suggested. "No something isn't right... I'm going to look for them..". Brax said as he kissed the top of Natalie's head. Casey and Lola both jumped off the couch. "I'm Coming". said Casey as he made his way towards Brax. All brax could do was nod. As Casey turned around an kissed Lola on the cheek. "Wait no I'm Coming too..". Before Lola could finish. Casey stepped in. "No Lola stay here we'll call u if we hear anything." Casey said as he looked at Brax who nodded. " No please you don't know what you'll be walking in to and Tegan has been like a mum to me...where loosing time standing here I'll help you in the car"Lola said as she took the keys out Brax's hands and walked out the door, both Casey and Brax sighed as Casey followed Lola out. "Natalie you stay here in case someone calls or they come back." Brax said as he made his way towards the car. Natalie watched through the window as the car drove away hoping that everything was ok.
In the car Lola and Casey were looking out the windows while still both trying to call Heath and Tegan. "Where were they going we could follow the route they took and we might find them". Casey said as turned and looked at Brax who had his eyes fixed on the road. "Yeah they were going to pick up Darcy from here grans and take her out for a while." Brax said still with his eyes fixed on the road. "Ok so what it a like a 20 minutes drive from Summerbay to Mangrove river". Casey said as they came up to fatal corner. "THERE". Lola shout as Brax stomped on the brakes. As they saw Brax's car at the bottom of the hill on is roof smashed to pieces. Brax, Casey and Lola ran out of the car in horror, Brax was the first one to make it to the car he bent down to see Heath and Tegan covered in blood and lying there life less. "HEATH TEGAN". Casey cried as he reached the car and saw all the blood " Brax we need to get them out of the car" Casey said he tried to undo Tegan's seat belt. Lola was at Tegan's side of the car in horror with tears running down her face trying to look for a pulse or get her to open her eyes "please Tegan wake up" Lola cried as she held Tegan's bloody hand tightly. "NOO". Brax shouted at Casey. "Don't move them call an ambulance , NOW CASEY". Brax shouted as he watched Casey step away from the car and phone for help. Lola was in daze. "LOLA Lola look at me come here...". Brax said as Lola looked at him with tears running down her face. "Lola please you can do this come over here trust me..." Lola let go of Tegan's hand and made her way over to Heath and Brax. "Their on their way". Casey said with a bit of relief on his face. "Casey can...you..go and hold Tegan's hand please...". Lola said as she crouch down besides Brax. Casey stood there confused by the whole thing." Lola what". Casey softly. "PLEASE Cas,I don't want her to be on her own". Lola said as the shock was starting to set in. "Ok ok". Casey said as he rushed over to the other side of the car and held Tegan's hand moving the hair away from her face. "I-I-I-can't" Lola said as she started to breathing heavy. "Lola listen to me you can do this ok...give me your hand". Brax said softly as he took his shirt off leaving his t-shirt under it on. He put his shirt in Lola's shaking hands. "Ok now listen to me Lola,Heath losing to much you need to put pressure on his head, and slow down the bleeding ok ". Brax said in a calm tone as Lola just stared at the blood shaking her head. "Lo..." Brax said as he moved Lola's hand slowly to Heath's head. "Lola put pressure on this...press hard... Don't worry bout hurting him he has a thick skull remember...". Brax felt a bit of relief when a small smile came on Lola's face as they always said Heath has a thick skull because he doesn't have a brain some times. "Good girl Lola you're doing really well". Brax said as he looked around for the ambulance. " Brax...". Casey said in slowly deathly tone. Casey eyes filled with tears, Brax rushed over to Tegan. "Casey what...". Brax didn't have to say anymore he saw all the blood running down her legs. " Jeeeeez". Brax said trying to work out what to do. "Cas find out where the ambulance is... now Casey...". Brax got down on his hands and knees under the roof of the car which was upside down and pulled the blanket from the back seat and put it over Tegan's legs, its last thing Lola needed to see. Casey came back "ok they said they'll be here in a few minutes". Casey said as Brax stood up and their faces met. "Ok Cas listen to me stay with Tegan ok ". Casey nodded and bent down again holding Tegan's hand, as he did this Tegan let out a groan. "Tegan, Tegs can you hear me you're gonna be ok I, promise". Casey said as Tegan closed her eyes again. "Casey you need to keep her awake". Brax said as he was trying to look for this ambulance. "HEATH" Lola shouted. "HEATH can you hear me". Lola said as Heath head moved towards Lola voice. "Brax, Heath he's waking up". Lola said as her eyes meant a confused Heath ones. "Ok Lola keep pressure on his head". Brax said as Brax bent to Heath. Heath looked to right of him and saw Tegan lying there life less. "TEGAN, TEGZ Wake up baby please...Tegan...". Heath had tears running down his face he tried to move but was struck down by a sharp pain through his weak body. "Aaaaaaaaaa". Heath cried getting frustrated. "Heath mate look the ambulance is here ok you're gonna be ok...". But before Brax couldn't finish Heath and fallen unconscious. "Heath". Lola called. But the ambulance people told them to stand back.
Back at the Braxton house...
Natalie was waiting for Brax to call it had been an hour and there was still no word just then the door went. Natalie opened it to Danny standing there with that stupid smile on his face. "What do you want". Natalie said not impressed that he still has the nerve to come over again after it all kicked off this morning. "It nice to see you to I just wanted to come and say sorry about this morning it got a bit heated and it shouldn't off,life is to short anything can happen so we need to stick together through the hard times I'm here for you if you ever need anything". Danny said wondering why Natalie was the only one in. Natalie was confused by his speech at that moment Natalie phone started to ring it was Brax. "Ok I'll let him know Danny bye". Natalie said quickly as she slammed the door in his face and watched him walk away through the window before answering the phone.
"Brax... What slow down ...ooh God are they ok... Okay yeah I'll get Darcy...see u soon...what...I love you too." Natalie quickly left the house on the way to Darcy grans she kept going over what Danny said about family and what Brax said about Heath and Tegan being in a car crash in Brax's car she knew her gut was right but wasn't going to say anything till she had more proof, right now she was just trying to work out what she was going to say to Darcy.
Back at the hospital...
Brax was pacing the floor waiting on information on Tegan,Heath and the baby. Casey was sitting in a chair with his head in his hands, while Lola was in shock with her back against the wall just staring at the floor with tears running down her face, all of them were covered in blood both Tegan and Heaths.
Within 10 minutes of no word from anyone Natalie and Darcy came bursting through the door with Irene who gave them a ride. "Ooh my goodness". Irene said as she look at the state of them. Natalie went straight to Brax and wrapped her arms around him. They pulled apart and looked at Darcy who was stood there in shock all the colour drained from her face as she saw them all covered in blood. Lola remembered the look in Darcy eyes it's the same one she had when she thought all her world was falling apart around her. Darcy walked slowly towards Brax, Brax stepped away from Natalie and in to the path of Darcy, Darcy's eyes were fixed on the way as her eyes were covered with tears, Brax knew what to do as Darcy continued to walk forwards looking crushed Brax looked at Lola who was watching Darcy try to block out the world around her, Lola had tears running down her face Brax looked from Casey to Lola and Casey walked over to Lola and wrapped his arms around her as she silently cried in to his chest, Darcy carried on walking as Brax stepped in front of her put his hands on her arms, there eyes meant and that when Brax realized how Darcy was struggling Brax pulled her into his chest and wrapped his arms around her tight as she sobbed and held on to him tightly.
10 minutes later...
"Brax". Natalie called as she noticed Sid coming towards them. Everyone stood up and walked towards Sid.
"Doc, what's the story , are they going to be OK". Brax said worried why it took them so long.
"Tegan has suffered a lot of injuries and we think that when she can come around from the pain killers,so we can deliver the baby as she suffered herrogine which means the longer we leave them the more risk there is to both,as well as Health but she is stable for now." Sid said trying to explain it as easy as possible. "OK and Heath is he going to be OK". Brax said realizing that they both lost a lot of blood. "Heath he lost a lot of blood an that's the problem he stable but he has a rare blood type a blood type that we don't have enough off...". Before Sid had a chance to finish Brax stepped in. "We'll test me I'm his brother test all of us..". Brax said getting frustrated with all the waiting. "And we will get you all tested now as quickly as we can..., nurse can you take Natalie and Darcy to room 1 to get their blood test... And Brax,Casey and Lo..."before Sid could finish Lola stepped in. "I'm pregnant can I still get tested.." Lola said hopefully. "No sorry Lola you can't even if you were a match you still couldn't give him any blood".Sid said sadly. Lola sighed that she couldn't help. "Brax and Casey room 2 is ready for you to get tested if you just follow the nurse". Casey gave Lola a kiss on the top of her head before he left.
20 minutes later they were all sitting in the waiting room waiting for the results.
Brax was the first to notice Sid walking in to the room as the all stood up and hope that one of them could give Heath blood. "Natalie, Darcy ...I'm sorry you're not a match". Sid said sadly as Lola wrapped her arms around Darcy. "Brax I'm sorry you're not a match". Sid said looking from the paper to Casey as Brax sighed . "Casey... you are a match". Everyone's head turned to where Casey stood,he was in shock he never thought he would have the same blood as Heath. "Erm ok what now...". Casey said nervously as he look as Darcy who had hope in her eyes for the first time today. "We'll if your still willing to give blood then follow me and we'll get it started". Sid replied hoping Casey would say yes. "Yeah...yeah of course ". Casey said with a small smile on his face happy that he can do something to help. "Ok well come in to Heath's room and will get you hooked up". Brax went with Casey, as Casey was getting blood taken from him. Lola walked in to the room to see them finishing with Casey. "Casey will have to stay seated for a few minutes and he'll need to eat something and take it easy while his body replaces the blood". Sid said. Brax and Lola nodded as they watched the blood travel through the tube and in to heaths arm. "When will Heath wake up Lola". Lola said quietly. "Ummm in about half an hour when his body has had time to process the blood ". Sid said as look at heath chart.
30 minutes later...
Everyone was back in the waiting room waiting for news on Heath as he was awake and talking. "Hey guys". Sid said as he walked in to the room. "How's heath is he ok". Casey asked getting up stand up slowly as he was feeling really weak. "Yeah he's doing really we'll we've explained everything that happening with Tegan and that she's slowly waking up and he's seeing her now". Sid said as his pager went off. "Ok thanks Sid". Brax said. "Lola can you call Darcy and Natalie and let them know what's going on." Brax said Lola nodded and made her way out side as Casey sat slowly down on the chair. "You sure your ok". Brax said to Casey."Yeah I'm fine". Casey said giving him a reassuring smile.
In Tegan's room...
Heath was holding Tegan's hand as the doctor was talking her through what happened and what is going to happen next. Casey,Brax and Lola had all joined to hear what Sid was going to say. " Ok well we think that now that your stable now would be the best time to deliver the baby by c-section ". Sid said looking from heath to Tegan. Heath was the first to speak." Ok erm are they both gonna be ok". Heath said as he looked to Sid. "Tegan's other injuries are putting strain on her body and by doing a c-section means that we can try to relieve some of that pressure but there is a chance Tegan could bleed out but this is Tegan's choice she can still have the baby as natural as possible but it raising the risks" . The room was filled with a silence until... " Do the right decision for the baby so the C-section". Tegan said surly and strongly. "WHAT no are you crazy I can't lose you or the baby there must be another way". Heath said frustrated and upset. " I'll be back in a minute ok ". Sid said excusing him self to deal with another patient. Casey had his arms around Lola as she sat the other side to Tegan. "Heath listen to me..it's gonna be ok I love you ". Tegan said as she gripped Heath's hands tightly. "I love you too". Heath said as he kissed the top of her head, As the nurse came in getting her ready for surgery. Heath was outside the door, Brax found him. "Hey mate how you going". Brax said he could clearly see his little brother was dealing with the what if very well. "Erm yeah I'm ok just think about the whole crash the brakes weren't working..." Heath paused " it will be ok won't it" Heath said hoping Brax would say the right thing like normal. "Yeah mate it... ". Before Brax had a chance to finish the machines in Tegan's room was going off, a nurse came shouting for Sid "ok the baby isn't getting enough oxygen and Tegan's blood pressure is through the roof we need to get her to surgery NOW..." Sid shouted as they moved the bed out of the room, Brax held back Heath as he had tears running down his face hoping the women that he loved was going to be ok,they watched in horror as Tegan was rushed in surgery...
