It had been almost a month since Casey and Imogen decided to be together again.

Natalie and Kevin had taken the family out for dinner leaving Imogen at home to baby sit the little ones. Casey had arranged to help her. Imogen was just adding the finishing touches to her make-up, granted it was probably a little over the top for a night in babysitting but Imogen had big plans for her evening with Casey.

It was 8pm when Casey arrived at the Kennedy house, he was wearing dark jeans and a light blue shirt, Casey smiled when he saw Imogen. She opened the door widely to let him in "You look nice" Imogen smiled nervously.

"You look amazing" Casey beamed as he eyed Imogen's outfit.

Imogen was wearing a pair of red shorts and white and gold vest top, her hair was hanging loosely around her shoulders with half of it pulled back in a hair clip. "So can I get you adrink2 Imogen interrupted Casey's thoughts.

"Er yeah" Casey smiled as he followed Imogen into the kitchen.

"Ok we've got water, tea coffee juice" Imogen said as she walked around the kitchen.

"Juice please" Casey replied as he stared at her. Imogen poured both her and Casey a glass of juice before heading into the lounge.

Roxanne had decided to go for a walk, seeing as she didn't get an invitation to dinner, as Roxanne walked along the beach she was surprised to see Brax sat staring into the sea "Hey you ok?" Roxanne said as she approached Brax.

"What oh yeah" he replied distantly.

"Brax" Roxanne said more sternly before gently sitting down next to him, she used Brax's shoulder to guide herself to the sand, being this pregnant had now started to cause movement problems for Roxanne.

Brax laughed a little as he watched a heavily pregnant Roxanne try and get comfortable on the lumpy sand "So what were you thinking?" Roxanne wondered as she looked at Brax.

"I was thinking about, nah it doesn't matter" Brax quickly stopped himself from revealing his feeling to Roxanne.

"No Brax come on this is me you're talking too" Roxanne argued.

"Ok fine, I was thinking how different things would be now if we were together" Brax snapped a little "I'm sorry…I told you I didn't want to talk about it"

"No it's ok, I know how you feel" Roxanne smiled as she looked at Brax "I've been thinking that a lot just lately" she added. Brax reached over and grabbed Roxanne's hand "Brax don't make this harder than it already is"

"It doesn't have to be hard though" Brax replied with a slight smile "We could do this together"

"No we can't, I won't betray my sister like that, having your baby is bad enough but I can't rub her face in it by being with you as well" Roxanne replied s she pulled her hand away.

"Then come away with me, we could leave all this behind just you me and our baby boy, no more worrying about what people think" Brax suggested.

"It's a nice idea Brax, but I can't just walk away from my family and what about Immy, she need's me" Roxanne replied.

"Immy's got Casey and the rest of your family, please Rox I love you" Brax admitted causing Roxanne to frown.

"You what?" Roxanne smirked "How much have you had to drink?"

"Quite a few" Brax laughed "But I mean it though Rox, it's always been you" Brax moved forwards to kiss Roxanne put she pulled away quickly.

"Right I think that's my cue to get you home" Roxanne smiled "Can you stand?"

Brax nodded and stood to his feet; luckily for Roxanne he still had the full use of his legs even if he was a little wobbly.

Casey and Imogen were snuggled up on the sofa watching a DVD; Imogen looked up at Casey "Are you ok?" Casey wondered what Imogen was thinking.

"Yeah, I'm just thinking" Imogen smiled as she looked into Casey's eyes.

"About what?" Casey wondered as he sat up a little.

"About what we were like before, you know as a couple I mean?" Imogen had a cheeky smile on her face.

"Is that right?" Casey grinned

"Yup" Imogen moved forwards and kissed Casey's lips gently. Casey responded by moving his hand behind her head.

As the kiss intensified Imogen reached round Casey's neck and pulled him on top of her "Are you sure?" Casey asked as he pulled away Imogen just nodded and continued to kiss him.

Casey ran his hands gently up Imogen's thigh as she reached up and pulled his t-shirt off, Casey started to unfasten Imogen's shorts as he kissed her, Imogen stopped his hands suddenly "Case stop" she said as she pulled away "I'm sorry I can't do this" Imogen sobbed as she held her shorts in place and ran into the bathroom before locking the door behind her.

Roxanne managed to get Brax inside his house and sit him on the sofa, she walked over to the sink and got him a drink of water as she handed Brax the water, he grabbed her hand "Brax stop it" Roxanne whispered as she moved her hand.

Brax just held on tighter, Roxanne pulled her hand away harshly "Brax I'm not doing this anymore, please just stop" Roxanne snapped.

Brax was too drunk to follow Roxanne so all he could do was watch her leave.

x-x-x-x-x-x

Casey knocked gently on the bathroom door "Come on Immy let me in" Casey said through the door "Please"

Casey could hear Imogen crying "Go away" Imogen sniffed.

"You know I can't do that" Casey replied "Please babe just talk to me"

Suddenly there was a clicking noise and the door handle started to turn, Imogen's face appeared slowly from behind the door "I'm so sorry Case" Imogen had tears trickily down her face.

"Hey look at me" Casey frowned as he cupped Imogen's face gently in his hands "You have nothing you be sorry for, I love you so much Imogen Kennedy and I promise you this will happen" He smiled as Imogen looked deeply into his eyes "But only when you are ready" he added causing Imogen to smile. She reached up and kissed Casey gently, before he pulled her into a hug.

Roxanne was almost at her apartment when she spotted Hammer walking towards her, he had blood trickling down his face "Oh my god, Hammer what happened?" she gasped as she took a step closer to look at his face.

"What this, oh its nothing you should see the other guy" Hammer replied trying to shrug it off.

"Hmm" Roxanne frowned "Come inside let me take care of that for you"

Hammer followed Roxanne inside her apartment; she put her bag on the kitchen counter and flicked on the light switch, before heading over to a low cupboard and taking out a first aid kit.

As Hammer sat on the chair Roxanne wiped his lip and eye with a wet cloth "So are you really not going to tell me what happened?" she said as she paused for a moment.

"Nope" hammer replied with a sight smile.

"There all done" Roxanne smiled as she put the cloth on the table and finished applying the sutras.

"Thanks Rox, I do appreciate it even if I can't tell you how you how I got these" Hammer said as he looked up at Roxanne.

"Something to do with that no good brother of yours no doubt" Roxanne threw the rubbish in the bin and turned back to Hammer.

"Hey come on he's not that bad, I'd be living on the streets if it wasn't for him" Hammer quickly jumped to his brother's defence.

"No you wouldn't you would be living in your own flat and have a good job, Jake is the only reason you failed at school, he held you back because he didn't want you to do anything with your life" Roxanne protested.

"Look I know you don't like Jake but he's still my brother" Roxanne immediately stopped insulting Hammer's brother when she realised she was upsetting Hammer.

"I'm sorry I just hate what you have become that's all" Roxanne said with tears in her eyes "I miss us"

"Yeah I know me too baby" Hammer walked slowly towards Roxanne and rested his hands on her waist, Roxanne paused before looking up at him. Hammer leant forwards and kissed her lips gently.

Roxanne returned the kiss for a few moments before stepping away from Hammer "Why can't you just let me in Rox?" Hammer sighed as he looked into Roxanne's eyes.

"You know why, I'm pregnant" Roxanne frowned as she looked down at her heavily swollen stomach.

"I don't care about that Roxanne I love you, you know that" Hammer replied sincerely as he took hold of Roxanne's hands and held them tightly.

"Please just go" Roxanne replied as she moved away again.

"Fine, but I won't give up" Hammer smiled "I won't lose you again" he added as he turned and walked out of the door.

Roxanne locked the door behind Hammer and put the chain across before heading back to the kitchen, god what Roxanne wouldn't give for a stiff drink right now.
