Alanna frowned as she looked at herself in the full length mirror; she ran her hands down her swollen stomach before resting them just near her belly button. Brax smiled as he walked past the bedroom and saw her.

"You ok?" he wondered as he leant up against the door frame of Heath's bedroom door. Brax had decided while Heath was in jail it would probably be best for Alanna to stay in his room at the house. At least that way he could keep an eye on her.

"How much longer do you think I can keep this a secret for?" she sighed as she turned to face Brax "Maybe I should start telling people"

"Tell you what why don't you get dressed and I'll shout you breakfast" Brax suggested "Oh and wear something tight, that way Colleen will notice straight away and you won't need to worry about telling anyone" he teased causing Alanna to laugh.

Brax sat and waited patiently for Alanna to get ready he stood up when he saw her walking into the room she was wearing a pair of light denim short shorts and a white singlet which she had tucked in. Her hair was plaited down one side of her head, with a few strands hanging around her face and she had pair of wide rimmed sunglasses propped upon the top of her head.

Brax couldn't help but smile at Alanna's choice of outfit "Look when I said wear something tight was only joking you know" he grinned.

"Yeh I know, but I can't hide it away forever, people will ask questions if I just turn up at the diner with a pram one day" Alanna replied as she reached down and picked up her handbag, Brax grabbed his car keys and followed her out of the door.

Colleen frowned as she watched Alanna arrive with Brax. Irene walked past Colleen and headed straight towards the blonde "Alanna love" she smiled warmly. Irene pulled Alanna into a hug before pulling away quickly and looking down at her swollen stomach "Is that?" Irene asked as she put her hand on Alanna's bump.

"Yep" Alanna replied throwing Brax a look. Brax just smirked he had an idea what the next question would be.

"And the dad?" Irene asked cautiously.

"Who's Dad?" Colleen interrupted before her attention turned to Alanna's stomach "Oh my good night, what is that?" she cried.

"It's called a baby" Brax grinned sarcastically causing Irene and Alanna to smile.

"And I take it you're responsible" Colleen spat wagging her finger at Brax.

"No he isn't actually" Alanna finally spoke "Heath's the dad" she added causing Brax to frown at her.

"HEATH BRAXTON" Colleen cried before turning and rushing back into the kitchen all flustered.

"Well congratulations darl" Irene smiled "Does Leah know?" she wondered.

Alanna nodded "Yeh I told her months ago, and Mr Stewart and Nicole" Alanna replied.

"Well if you want to sit down I'll get you your order" Irene smiled.

Brax and Alanna sat at a table just in front of the counter they has just started to eat their breakfast when a female voice interrupted them "Well isn't this cosy"

Brax recognised the voice instantly and looked up; Alanna took a little more time to look at the woman standing in front of her.

"Tegan, what are you doing here?" Brax wondered curiously as he sat back and continued to stare at her.

"I heard the pig was out of town and thought maybe you wanted to pick up where we left off" Tegan grinned deviously "But I can see you have a new toy to play with now"

Alanna just sat glancing backwards and forwards between Brax and Tegan.

"Oh I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself I'm Tegan Brax's girlfriend" she smiled as she reached out her hand.

"Ex-Girlfriend" Brax corrected.

"We'll see" Tegan smirked "And you are?" she added as she pulled her hand away when she realised Alanna wasn't going to shake it.

"Alanna Lawson, I'm Heath's girlfriend" Alanna replied, Tegan's eyes widened when she looked down and saw Alanna's baby bump.

"Is that Heath's too?" Tegan frowned viciously.

"Oh what this?" Alanna smiled as she rested her hand on her bump "Afraid so"

Tegan looked extremely put out by Alanna's announcement "Look Tegan I don't mean to be rude but me and Brax are actually in the middle of something right now so if you wouldn't mind" Alanna's tone was now quite threatening. Tegan picked up on it instantly and quickly said her goodbyes and walked away.

"What" Alanna smiled when she noticed Brax was staring at her.

"Nothing" he laughed as he continued to eat his breakfast.

After breakfast Alanna and Brax headed to Angelo's to set up for lunchtime. Alanna was putting some glasses away from out of the dishwasher and Brax was putting the mixers away. As Alanna put a glass under the counter she caught her hand and dropped the glass on the floor. Brax stood up quickly and rushed to her side "Here let me do that?" he said trying to take over from Alanna.

"I can do it" Alanna snapped as she reached down to pick up the glass "OW" she cried as the glass slipped into her hand.

Brax could see the blood; he grabbed the towel out his back pocket and wrapped it around Alanna's cut hand "Why do you have to be so bloody stubborn?" Brax asked as he held Alanna's hand for a few moments.

"In my blood I guess" Alanna shrugged, as she tried to move away Brax grabbed her arm. She looked at him a few moments she could feel his breath against her face. As she looked up into Brax's eyes she was surprised to feel his lips press gently against hers.

Alanna returned his kiss for a few seconds before they both jumped away when they heard a knocking at the door "That'll be Liam" Brax said as he went to unlock the door. Alanna was still stood with her hand on her lips when Brax reappeared with Liam.

"Oh my god are you?" Liam's voice broke Alanna's thoughts. She had forgotten about the revealing outfit she was wearing. Alanna couldn't speak

"Excuse me" she exclaimed as she rushed past Brax and Liam and straight into the office.

"Something I said" Liam wondered. Brax just rolled his eyes

"Hormones I think" he smiled as he looked at the door of his office remembering what had happened before Liam arrived.
