Brax had picked Charlie up and they were on their way to Yabbie Creek.
'Ruby seemed pretty excited.' Brax said.
'Yeah well she had a sister for so long then she had it all taken away from her so I think she is happy for the idea of having a little brother or sister.' Charlie told him.
'I don't mean to hit any nerves or anything and you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but who is Ruby's father?' Brax asked Charlie.
Charlie said nothing.
'I would tell you, but every time I talk about it I end up crying.' Charlie had tears in her eyes.
'No that's okay Charlie.' Brax said taking one hand off the wheel to hold hers.
'I promise I will tell you one day when I'm ready.' Charlie said.
'I will wait.' Brax promised her.
Later in the restaurant Charlie was sitting by herself waiting for Brax to come out of the bathroom. She had a feeling she knew what would come next, thinking about what Bianca had mentioned that morning.
Okay guys, I really want your help with how the wedding should go dresses and dramas etc.
Please keep reviewing! :) xx
Brax came back and sat at the table.
'Charlie I have something to ask you.' He said.
Charlie got butterflies in her stomach. 'Yes…'
'I've been thinking about this for a while but now that were going to move in together and you're having a baby, I think this is right.'
'Yes.' Charlie exclaimed. 'I will marry you.'
'What, how did you know?' Brax was surprised.
'Never trust Heath with a secret.' Charlie told him.
'Aah.' Brax said.
He got the ring out of his pocket and put it on her finger, it slid on perfectly.
'It's beautiful!' Charlie exclaimed.
Charlie kissed him. 'Lets get out of here.'
Later on when they got back to Charlie's house they found Ruby and Casey still studying.
'Study bugs.' Charlies said.
Ruby and Casey looked at each other thinking about their conversation earlier that day.
'So…any news for us?' Ruby asked.
'Maybe!' Charlie exclaimed.
'We're getting married!' Brax said happily.
Charlie stuck her hand out and showed them her ring.
Leah walked out of her room.
'Did I hear correctly?' She asked happily.
'Yes.' Charlie said and showed her the ring.
'Congratulations!' Leah said and gave Charlie a hug.
Later Charlie and Brax were lying in bed looking at the roof.
'I'm ready.' Charlie said.
'What?' Brax was confused.
'Ruby's father.' Charlie stated.
'Charlie you don't have to if you're not ready.' Brax assured her.
'No Darryl, I am ready.'
Brax knew that is she was calling him Darryl she was serious.
'Ruby's dad is Grant Bledcoe, he raped me when I was 14.' Charlie started to get teary.
Brax put his arms around her, she buried herself in his chest and he kissed her forehead.
'No one believed me until 4 months later and my dad wouldn't let me take him to court but later when it all came out and Ruby found out things turned bad, she ran away and my dad murdered him.'
'Charlie.' Brax whispered, kissing her head again. 'I'm glad you told me.'
'Me too.' Charlie said quietly.
