Chapter 11

Ricky's prov

I layed back down in the sun lounger resting my sore ankles, after cleaning up some of the dishes and left over food, rubbing my tummy, I closed my eyes taking in the last few hours that had happened.

The next day I slipped out of the house, no one noticing because they were either out or sleeping in. I walked down the beach, my sandles in my hand letting the sand sink in and the morning breeze take me away as I watched the sun rise and the waves crash, it was about 8am and I was pulled from my day dream as I heard my name being called and Nate approaching not long after.

"hey" I greeted turning to face him and he smiled and reciprocated the greeting

"how are you?" he questioned and I couldn't help but grin, remembering what I was just told from his sister

"Im great" I replied and he looked up confused

"Is that why you are walking around at 8 in the morning" he stated and I smiled

"yeah, I needed some fresh air and thought of getting some breakfast from the diner" I replied

"well would I be able join you and you can tell why your feeling so great" he questioned and I knodded as we walked in the direction of the diner

We had selected a table and ordered some breakfast and coffee, when we started talking again.

"so, why are you feeling so great" he questioned and I could tell he was genuinely curious

"well someone had raved about me to their sister and she has accepted me for the trial" I replied and a smile appeared on his face

"wow, thats great to hear" he stated and I smiled in acknowledgement

"thank you Nate, I mean it this trial means alot to me" I stated

"your more than welcome Ricky, you deserved it and my sister obviously thought so too"he replied as our orders were bought over and we tucked in, finishing just in time for Nate to go to work.

1 and 1/2 months later (roughly)

I was now 8 months pregnant and was now preparing for the birth.

I woke up picking myself up and out of bed with the little energy I had, changing into something suitable to wear, I was tired of being pregnant and the amount of weight that is on you in this trimester, I felt blobby and very unmotivated.

Walking out I made my way to the dining table where todays mail sat, picking it up, I flicked through it before stopping at a letter from my brothers lawyer, I quickly ripped the top of it and skimmed over the letter.

Miss Sharpe

I am writing this to inform you that your brother Adam Sharpe has requested to see you. If you would like to go through with this please contact me.

Thanks

Adam's lawyer

Folding the letter in half again, I sunk into the dining chair next to me, it was a suprise to recieve the letter but now I had to go through seeing him again. I had stood up after a while of deep thinking, making myself some breakfast and eating it before deciding to take a walk before ringing Adams lawyer back.

I sat on the beach and pulled my phone out dialling the number for Adams lawyer before placing the phone to my ear.

"hello" a males voice answered

"hi, this is Ricky, Adams sister" I stated

"hi, so Im guessing you have recieved my letter" he replied

"yes and Ill do the visit" I replied "when can the visit happen?"

"ok, well if it is good for you I can set one up for tomorrow?" he replied and I quickly thought over what I had the next day

"yea thats fine" I replied

"ok thank you Ricky" he replied

With that I hung up and made my way to the diner ordering a takeaway coffee for me to enjoy on the walk home.

Later that night I had layed on my bed waiting for Brax to call so we could talk in private, and after talking to him I had fallen asleep.

Casey's prov

There was something wrong with Ricky, she was hiding something and I was worried it was something that would stress her out, it was weird because were so protective of her and every move she made for Braxs sake. I was hoping that nothing bad would happen if she wont come to us and talk.

Ricky's prov

The next morning I woke up and again was able to slip out of the house unnoticed, I was nervous, i was visiting my brother this morning on my own. I quickly stopped by the diner to pick up some breakfast so I wasnt skipping it and made my way back to the car to start my journey to the prison, I was starting to tense up thinking about why Adam would want me to visit him. I finally arrived taking a deep breath before hopping out of the car and making my way inside the prison, a guard showed me the way but I remembered most of it from my last visit, opening the door I let out a small sigh and was greeted by the familiar glass windows that seperated the two sides of the room, walking in my eyes locked on the green uniform, walking towards him before taking a seat.

"Adam" I greeted and he couldn't help but let out a small smile, like he was happy I remembered his name

"sis, how are you?" he questioned and I looked nervously between him and my hands that rested on the table in front of me

"Im fine" I replied as he looked down at my belly

"how far are you?" he finally questioned after a bit of silence

"8 months" I replied and he smiled back which I was suprised about

"what about the gender?" he questioned and I looked over offering a small smile before repiling

"I wanted a suprise" I replied and he smiled back, it was actually the first couple times I had seen him smile in a long time

"well I hope its a girl" he replied and I couldn't help but be suprised

"really" I stated looking up at him

"yeah, I can spoil her and their is enough boys in each of the familys" he replied and I smiled in reply "anyway im happy you came"

"well I thought I should come" I replied and I noticed Adam looking down before replying

"im sorry I havent helped out with Brax" he stated and I couldn't help but look confused

"so why haven't you talked?" I managed to ask

"I don't know but the time I have had to think has made me realise that I should do the right thing" he replied and I offered a reassuring smile

"thank you Adam, it means alot if this will help him to be father for a little more than he actually would be is great" I replied and he offered a small smile "I have to go but I will talk soon" I replied overjoyed with what Adam was deciding to do, not actually knowing the full story of what he was going to do and the repercussions of it.

"bye" I heard Adam reply, as I stood up and left the room.

I was pleased with how the visit went.
