A few days later Casey had been given the all clear to leave, he was progressing well and his speech was getting better by the day. They were heading home, both Brax and Casey, Heath was out with Bianca enjoying a nice walk on the beach.

Casey was slowly falling asleep, Brax glanced over and smiled lightly. "Case, keep your eyes open. I don't want to have to carry you in"

Casey stirred and opened his eyes up again, "Mmm. Okay". Brax smiled lightly and then kept his eyes back on the road. He remembered the day that Casey got brought home from being born.

Cheryl set Casey in his crib and went out to the loungeroom. "You need to look after Casey. I'm going to the pub"

"Mum his only new born" Brax called after his mum, Cheryl spun around, grabbing her bag as she did

"Yes son. So he'll be a breeze to look after" she said before leaving the house, slamming the door behind her loudly, causing Casey to scream out, awoken from his slumber. Brax walked over to his baby brother.

"It's okay Casey, shh. Go back to sleep" Brax gently coaxed, gently rocking Casey up and down. The little new born began to ease off his crying and Brax smiled down at the new addition to his family.

Heath came walking through the house, hoping that his mum hadn't given birth, he looked up at saw Brax cradling a little baby. The older brother turned hearing Heath walk through.

"Oi, Heath. Come meet your baby brother" Brax smiled, Heath grunted and walked over to his brothers.

At first Heath didn't want a baby brother, in fact he still didnt, until he met little Casey. He'd never seen somebody who looked like him as much as Casey did, except Brax. "Since your now a big brother too, do you know what you have to do?" The eldest brother asked his seven year old brother

Heath shook his head and laughed lightly as Casey gripped tightly onto his finger with his hand. "Well, it's a lot of hard work, your lucky you only have to do it for one" Brax smirked before he continued on

"So you have to protect him and look after him, especially from Mum and Dad, because he can't"

Heath nodded and sat down on the couch before a brax placed Casey into his lap..

Brax pulled up outside his house and Casey got out of the car, walking into their house before placing himself down on the couch and falling asleep almost instantly. Brax came through shortly after and smiled before going into his own room and deciding to sleep As well.

Brax remembered the first time that his Dad hit Heath and Casey. Heath was only two and was going through the 'terrible twos' stage, he'd wanted to play outside longer but their father had said he had to stay inside, Heath didn't understand why and wanted to stay outside. Brax walked in from going from a surf to find his Dad hitting Heath, the young boy dropped his surfboard and went running over to his father and his little brother, swiftly scooping up Heath into his arms.

"Dad, what the hell!" The young Brax yelled out, Danny retaliated by slapping his boy across the face in anger and Brax shook his head angrily and upset, walking off into Heaths room.

When Casey was born Brax swore he wouldn't ever let Danny hit his baby brother, but it all changed one day and Brax still felt sick to the day about what happened. He came back from school one afternoon to find Casey screaming on the floor, Brax's eyes widened and he ran to his little brother.

"Casey" he sighed and gently picked up the toddler, his ankle was beyond swollen and Brax gently walked him to his room and laid him out on the bed.

"Casey, I'm sorry" Brax apologized while he felt around Casey's tiny ankle, nothing felt broken and Brax quickly went and got a ice pack from the freezer and returned to see Casey slowly stopping his cries.

Brax gently placed the ice pack around Casey's ankle, moulding it around the swelling. He kept it on there and went up to sit beside Casey, he gently rubbed Casey's hair back and wiped the tears away with the pad of his thumb.

"What happened Case?" Brax sighed wishing his brother knew what words to use to explain what happened to him. He heard a cupboard open from in the kitchen and quickly walked into there when he saw Heath coming out from there.

"Heath?" Brax questioned, Heaths eyes widened and he knew he'd been busted, Heath walked over to Brax and looked up at him upset.

"Heath, did you go to school today?" Heath shook his head slowly, It was now Brax's time to be angry, but stopped when Heath cut in just before him.

"I saw what Dad did to Casey"

Brax sighed and ran his hand over his face worriedly, "What happened?" Brax asked, not sure if he really wanted to hear what his younger brother was about to say.

"Casey was playing around on the couch behind Dad. Dad had been drinking and was a bit drunk, Casey was standing on the top of the couch and Dad had, had enough of Casey playing and pushed him back off the couch and I saw. He came looking for me but I hid in the cupboard and then he left"

Brax had his hand to his mouth in shock, the twelve year old couldn't believe how vicious and horrible his father was becoming. The door swung open and their father walked in with their mums best friend, kissing her roughly.

"Dad?" Brax asked shocked, Danny glanced over and laughed mockingly at his son.

"Darryl, you love your brothers so much you can now look after them. I'm leaving" Danny said, he went to his room and collected his clothes before bending down to his sons level.

"Your both so dumb you both wont get anywhere, especially you Darryl" Danny said before he pushed both his sons over and stormed out of the house.

"Don't listen to him Heath" Brax said before helping his little brother up, they were both taken out of their own worlds by the two year old crying in Brax's room.

"I'm coming Case" Brax called out, sighing heavily. He walked into his room to find his two year old brother crying. He gently picked him up and held onto him tightly.

"It's okay Casey, shh" Brax coaxed as he tried to calm his brother, he turned to the door to see Heath standing there, an upset look on his face. Brax knew that he would need to look after his brothers forever now, he knew he was going to be more of a father than brother to both of them

Brax woke back up from his sleep, the evening was slowly getting darker and Brax realized he'd slept almost all day. He stretched out and got out of bed and headed into the kitchen, Casey was up and making himself some dinner.

"Hey mate" Brax greeted, Casey turned and smiled lightly before speaking up himself

"Hi" he said while getting his food out of the oven, he turned to face Brax.

"I-I made extra, if you-you were hungry..." He explained, Brax grinned and slapped his hands together, rubbing them fastly.

"I taught you well yeh?" He joked, Casey laughed lightly and scooped the lasagne onto the plates. The door swung open and Heath walked in, smelling the air that smelt like Casey's cooking.

"What's for dinner?" He asked grinning brightly, Casey laughed and gently shook his head.

"I knew this would happen" he said pulling out another glass bowl of lasagne he'd made, he placed it in front of Heath and the older brother grinned.

"Aw thanks little bro"
