Hi everyone! I know I said I wouldn't be able to update soon, but I guess I was wrong. I found some time! Here is the next chapter! I hope you will enjoy it!
Heath looked at Bianca, he still was extremely attracted to her. She was the first, and up until now the only, woman who he wanted more with than just sex. It had always been fooling around, nothing serious, but Bianca changed that. At first he only liker because of her good looks and because she was Liam Murphy's ex, but then he had grown to care for her deeply. Too deeply because when she pushed him away to get back together with Liam, Heath was gutted. He didn't want to feel that way and he promised himself he would never let a women make him feel that way again. But now Bianca was looking at him, her eyes were hungry, she wanted something. He knew exactly what it was. He couldn't restrain himself and kissed her passionately on the lips. However, he pulled back, kissing her felt different than before. Bianca grabbed his face with both her hands and kissed him, she swung her body over him so he laying in the sand, strangled between her legs. Heath totally got into it and started to fumble on her clothes. 'Not here' she managed between kissed. 'We can't go to my place, Brax and Charlie are home' Heath replied. 'Well April is home as well' Bianca admitted. 'I know where we can go, lets go' Heath said as he got up from between her legs, took her hand and led her towards his car.
Meanwhile, Angelo, Nicole and George went inside the Diner. They took a seat at a free table. Both didn't know how to start, but they both had some things they wanted to say. 'I went for an ultrasound today' Nicole started. Angelo nodded and looked down. 'Everything is fine yes, thank you for asking' Nicole continued. 'Good' Angelo said 'So how far along are you?'. 'You don't know?' Nicole asked, clearly upset 'You seriously don't know?'. 'Well, I do remember when you told me you were pregnant, but I don't remember you saying when you were due, I am sorry' Angelo apologized 'I guess I was just in shock'. 'And all this time, Angelo, we have been living in the same town and not even once did you ask about that baby, not even once' Nicole yelled, tears filling up in her eyes. 'I know, I am sorry, I just can't get past…' Angelo said. 'Can't get past what?' Nicole interrupted 'It takes to make a baby, it shouldn't matter than this was not planned, you should love him unconditionally, regardless of how you feel about me'.
'Him?' Angelo asked as he looked at Nicole for the first time during this conversation. 'Yeah, it is a boy' Nicole answered 'It is up to you if you want to be a part of his life or not'. 'I don't know' Angelo said honestly 'I really don't know'. 'That is pathetic Angelo' Nicole yelled 'Other guys would be thrilled to be a part of their child's life'. Angelo didn't say a thing, he didn't know what to say, he didn't feel a connection with this baby and he actually didn't want that as well. 'I can't believe this' Nicole said 'I thought that in time you would get excited, but seeing you like this…'. Nicole shook her head in disbelief as she could no longer hold back the tears. 'God Angelo, even Heath is more excited than you are' she shouted out as she took George and rushed out of the Diner. She was looking for Heath, but he was nowhere to be seen.
'So, what are you two doing here?' Cheryl asked as she saw Brax and Charlie walking through the door. 'I wanted to visit my mother' Brax said 'That is okay mum, isn't it?'. 'Sure' Cheryl said whilst taking another beer out of the fridge. 'How have you been?' Cheryl asked genuinely trying to be friendly. 'We are great thanks Cheryl' Charlie replied. All of a sudden they heard people coming through the back door, laughing and stumbling upon the mess in the living room. The two people were Heath and Bianca, who were clearly not expecting to see Cheryl, Brax and Charlie. 'Mum' Heath said in shock 'You are home, I thought you would have been at work'. 'Yeah I can see you thought that' Cheryl joked. Charlie and Brax had trouble not to burst into laughing. 'What are you doing here Heath?' Brax asked, clearly amused by the situation. 'I think it is pretty clear what they are doing here' Cheryl stepped in 'He got here to get layed!'. 'What a shame' Charlie picked in 'No one is home at our place now'. Brax started to laugh and advised his brother 'You should get yourself a motel room, unless you like situations like this bro'. 'Is that why you and her always met up at one?' Heath jokes referring to Brax and Charlie's sneaking around at first. 'Stop it' Charlie stepped in 'Both of you'. 'Heath' Charlie asked 'If you are here, who is picking up Darcy from school then?'. 'Shit' Heath said as he hit himself on the head. 'You forgot?' Brax asked 'It is on the calendar in the kitchen in big letters with a red circle around it'. 'Shit, shit, shit' Heath yelled 'Okay, if I leave now, I might be able to make it on time'. 'Hey, don't leave me here!' Bianca shouted out as Heath rushed out of the house. 'Nah, don't worry' Cheryl answered 'I would love to sit and chat with the tramp who was just about to shag my boy'. Bianca was so embarrassed by the situation that she didn't even notice Cheryl's insult. There was a big silence, no one really knew what to say or do to cut this tension. 'Got anything for an awkward silence?' Bianca asked.
'I am pregnant' Charlie proclaimed with a smile on her face. Cheryl's eyes widened as she was completely speechless. Bianca had to laugh. 'Yeah, that really loosens up the situation Charlie, thank you' Bianca told her. Charlie's face didn't move, she was still smiling. Bianca looked from Charlie to Brax and back to Charlie. 'Oh my god, you are serious!' Bianca shouted out 'This is huge! Congratulations!'. Bianca gave both Brax and Charlie a big hug, this had been one emotional day. Cheryl still hadn't said a word, so Brax decided to find out how his mother felt about becoming a grandmother again. 'You know mum, don't get too excited' he said. 'Euh' Cheryl started 'I can't believe this'. 'Was this baby planned?' Cheryl asked them. 'Mum!' Brax shouted out whilst giving his mother a less-than-impressed look. 'No, it is okay Brax' Charlie stepped in 'Yes Cheryl, we have been wanting to have a baby for quite some time now and we couldn't be any happier that it is finally happening'. As Charlie said those words she smiled at Brax, who smiled back at her and took her hand.
'I was not expecting this' Cheryl said still in shock. 'Yes clearly' Brax replied 'But mum, Charlie and I are very happy about this and we would like it if you could try to be happy for us as well, even if it was just a little bit'. Cheryl smiled and attempted to say something but couldn't find the words at first. 'Look' Cheryl started 'I didn't know you were considering having a baby'. 'I am happy for you' Cheryl confessed 'I really am, it is just that…'. 'Just what?' Charlie asked genuinely. 'I would like to get to know this baby, to spend some time with him after it is born' Cheryl admitted. 'Really?' Charlie said 'We would love that'. Cheryl looked at her in surprise. 'You are the baby's only grandparent, Cheryl' Charlie explained 'Brax and I would love it if you wanted to get to know your grandchild'. 'I do!' Cheryl shouted out 'I want to get to know Darcy as well, you know'.
'A few weeks ago, I ran into Tegan's mum and she told me she baked a pie with Darcy' Cheryl started 'I want to do that too!'. 'I want to bake a freaking apple pie with her!' Cheryl shouted out. 'Darcy doesn't eat apples' Brax stepped in. 'You see, I should know this stuff' Cheryl replied 'I am her fucking grandmother!'. 'Yeah' Charlie started 'But you have only known she is your granddaughter for a year, you shouldn't feel too bad about not knowing things like that'. 'And if you want to, you can be involved in our baby's life from the beginning, maybe a chance to do it right from the beginning?' Charlie continued. Cheryl nodded firmly and thanked Charlie and Brax. She managed to get herself together again and decided to make an effort to make this work. 'So, any morning sickness? Cravings?' Cheryl asked out of curiosity. 'No morning sickness' Charlie answered 'But maybe that will kick in later, and other than that… no, no negative side effects'.
But that wasn't the entire truth, Charlie was actually suffering from one side effect. However, she didn't feel like telling Cheryl. She couldn't honestly tell Brax' mother that she was in the mood to have sex all the time. The doctor had said that was completely normal and that she should enjoy the feeling while it lasted, because it was only a temporary side effect. It would go away once her baby –and her pregnant belly- got bigger. Brax was benefiting from all of this and hoped secretly that this side effect wouldn't disappear anytime soon. As Charlie told Cheryl she didn't have any negative side effects, Brax couldn't help but smile. 'She is so right' he thought to himself 'You can hardly call it negative…'.
