First and foremost apologies for not updating in so long, I have lost nearly all my chapters, and have to rewrite all of them again so they might not be as good as the originals.

Thanks to all of you have reviewed, they mean a lot to me.

Chapter 14 – Caught

Brax P.O.V

I turned over in my bed, my eyes still closed and my hands searching for Charlie's petite body, after a few pats along the bed, I opened my eyes to find the bed vacant. I got out of bed, checked the time on my phone, it read 3:50am, and I walked out of our room and headed to the one place I knew where Charlie must have gone. As expected she was in Jnr's room, like every night since the past two weeks i would find that she would wander into his room and stay there. Today she was sat on the rocking chair and was asleep; I checked on Jnr, he was asleep in his crib, not a peep out of him. I lifted Charlie up and she wrapped her arms around my neck. I kissed her forehead and made my way back to our bed. I tucked her in and then got in beside her.

Charlie P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of crying; I got up instinctively and went into Jnr's room. I went up to the crib and he was sound asleep, I quickly lifted him out of the crib fearing the worst, I checked to see if his chest was rising and falling. This wasn't enough so I put my cheek closer to his mouth, his breath, so sweet and warm touched my skin.

The crying was just in my head; I would hear it and would run to Jnr's room.

I was stood watching out to the beach, the sun rising, and sneaking over Jnr's face, I was picking Jnr up when he started to stir in my arms, ''good morning beautiful''. He replied in his own baby gurgles, we stood there for a while and the whole time I knew there was someone else within our presence. I could feel his eyes on my back, it wasn't a feeling of uncomfort, it was like he provided security. Just thinking about him and a smile took over my face, next thing I knew his big hands were snaking around my waist, his hands settled lightly on top of my small bump.

''morning sexy'' he breathed into my neck, sending tingles down my body, it didn't matter if he had touched me seconds earlier and now was touching me again, his touch always was exhilarating for me. I tilted my head towards the right and kissed his cheek, his unshaved skin pricking my skin.

''Someone needs a shave'' I joked...

''Yeah I definitely do, I need a shower too'' he was kissing my neck feverishly,

''mhhhmm Brax stop it, you know how I get'' I moaned

''Yeah and that's what I want, you, hot...sexy...horny...'' he spoke in-between kisses. I wanted to strike back but it was hard with a 9 month baby getting uncomfortable in my arms.

''Maybe later, for now I need to get Jnr ready, he has an appointment with the Dr's.''

Brax stopped kissing me and I saw worry wash over his face,

''Babe, what's wrong with him, is he okay? Charlie why didn't you say anything, come on lets go'' Brax spoke quickly but with worry.

''Nothing is wrong with him''

''So why is he going to the Dr's''

''Erm just a precaution''

Brax P.O.V

''Precaution, baby why are you going to take him to the Dr's if there is nothing wrong''

I was slightly taken aback, both confused and a bit out of my depth, alarm bells ringing in my ears. I knew Charlie had become very overprotective over Jnr, she never left his side since the return from hospital, she was wrapping him up in cotton wool and it was becoming quite suffocating not only for her and Jnr but the rest of us too. She had not left the house, I love and cared about him just as much as Charlie but I knew that if I began to worry the way Charlie did, we would be living our life on egg shells.

''Charlie, if there's nothing wrong then he doesn't need to see the Dr.''

''No Brax, I just need to see if everything is okay, reassurance.''

I turned her around, took Jnr out of Charlie's arms, before I left, I turned around, with my preeminent serious face I looked at Charlie,

''You missus do not move'' she was about to reply but I shot her another look, she scoffed and turned her face around.

I walked to Ruby's room to find it empty; I then went to Casey's. I knocked knowing Ruby probably was in there. Both mother and daughter were unbelievable, Charlie in the middle of the night gets up and sits in Jnr's room while Ruby sneaks into Casey's, I was actually surprised they had not bumped into each other on their travels.

''Yeah who is it, I'm not decent'' I heard Casey

'' Yeah, yeah just open the door'' I replied,

''Erm give me five and I'll meet you''

''I know Ruby is in there so just open the door'' I then heard the door lock click and Casey opened the door, his face beetroot red, I looked past him to Ruby who was sitting on the bed avoiding eye contact. I really didn't see the big fuss in them sharing a room but Charlie was hell bent on the idea of being a grandmother so young. Hell like separate rooms stopped them from doing the deed!

''You two are crazy, Charlie is an atomic bomb at the best of times, now she's pregnant and hormonal you do know she would flip if she saw you two together''

''Yeah buuut Brax...''

''NO buts, you can redeem yourselves though, look after Jnr for the day, Charlie needs a break'' I told them as I handed Jnr over, I didn't wait for a reply because they were both scared of Charlie as much as I was!...

''Oh and Casey you got your boxers on the wrong way around'' he didn't really I just enjoyed picking on him.

Charlie's P.O.V

''Please Brax I don't want to leave him'' this must have been the 100th time I said that phrase; he just ignored me, and carried on driving.

The drive was frustrating, firstly I didn't know where we were going and second I really wanted to grab Brax's hand, I wanted to actually do more than that, I wanted to have sex with him right here and now but I didn't want him to think I give in too easily. He must have known what I was thinking because he stretched his hand out and placed it onto my leg; I pushed it off before I continue looking out the window. He replaced it back and this time he was stroking my legs, I could see the smile appearing on my face even though I was trying my hardest to keep a poker face.

''Babe... oh come on Charlie'' i felt his hand under my chin and he tried to turn my face,

''Charlie don't be stubborn please'' he stroked my cheek, oh god this man was so irresistible. I looked at him and he smiled, I kissed his hand and he continued driving.

''How long Brax, where we going'' I asked with irritation evident in my voice.

''Not long, were just going to spend the day together''

''Okay could I have my phone so I can ring Ruby and see if Jnr is okay''

''Charlie, he is fine, they would have rang if he wasn't, please Charlie you don't need to worry''

'' I know but I just want him to be okay, I don't know how I would deal with it if something happened to him...''

He could tell from my voice that I was stressing. I was stressing because I knew what it was like to go to the edge of the cliff and just when you're about to fall someone pulls you back, what if this time there is no one and I fall. I had nearly lost my son once before and I did not want to ever go through that feeling again.

''Okay here you go, but you text them quickly…''

He handed me the phone…''and then you pass it straight back'' I nodded.

''Okay Charlie, the whole reason I said text, it was because it would be quick and you wouldn't bombard them with a million questions, you writing an essay or something''

''Nooo, nearly done.'' I told him, I had written the million questions in text.

I kept having quick glances to the screen every three seconds, a good ten minutes later I got a reply,

**everything is fine, sorry for taking so long to reply, I had to read the questionnaire that you sent**

I was going to reply back but instead I put the phone in my back pocket, Brax wasn't paying attention anyway so there was no point in passing it back.

Brax parked the Ute and I saw that we were in a shopping centre car park, great here I am thinking we was going to be on our own somewhere secluded, just the two of us, spending quality time together.. Possibly naked... the possibilities infinite.

''okay so here I am, craving sex and you bring me for retail therapy, sometimes Brax you are so insensitive'' I told him, I huffed and walked of, I didn't get far before I felt myself falling backwards, I wasn't falling, it was Brax who had grabbed my arm and twirled me back towards him, he pinned me against the Ute and rested his face into my neck, he began to kiss me.

''baby I'm sure you can be spontaneous'' he then continued to kiss me, I was about to push him off me, not to stop but to move his lips onto mine, before I could do that I heard a gasp,

''Disgusting; absolutely disgusting; no respect, cavorting in public. ''

Brax was obviously to engrossed in kissing chunks out of my neck to have heard the old short stocky women tell her husband about us... I pushed a reluctant Brax of me whilst she stood watching us with repulsion and her husband gawping in glee, I looked down he was confused until the women spoke again

''Smutty people... and stop gawping Andrew, she's too young for you'' she scolded her husband

Brax head shot around and looked up at the man, he was so cute, he smiled at us awkwardly and then followed the direction of his wife, both Brax and I burst into a robust of laughs.

Brax was about to continue again but I stopped him, I did not want another bystander to witness his derogatory acts, he didn't stop, this time his hands followed the crevice of my stomach, around to my back, his hands slowly travelling towards my bottom, at first I thought he was going to put his hands down my jeans but then I felt him take something from my pocket, he let go of my waist and then kissed my cheek.

''You are smart Charlie but you're not quite Braxton material yet'' he had taken my phone out of my pocket, ''oh trust me Mr. Braxton I can be sneaky when I want to'' I replied.

-x-

''What about these one's babe?'' I asked Brax as I held up a pair of tan colour chinos. Surprisingly he was really good at picking clothes and I appreciated his input. After all it was all for his eyes. He nodded as he came up to me and handed me a navy blue dress, it was strapless, and it had a bright red thin sash going under the bust, the flowy material weightless and airy in my fingers, it was gorgeous and definitely something that I would wear.

''I like this, do you want to go and try it on''

''I'll just get my size and it will be fine…'' I told him

''Charlie you're pregnant and you're not your normal size so why don't you try it on''

''Oh Brax I've not gone that big you know, you can't even tell I'm 6 weeks pregnant''

He rolled his eyes at me and then began to push me towards the fitting rooms.

Brax P.O.V

Charlie was in one of the cubicles. This was one of them posh clothing stores where the fittings room were mixed. The cubicles fitted with big with mirrors all around, white comfy sofas with scatter cushions were situated outside cubicles this was the seating area. I sat waiting outside hoping Charlie would click on to why I wanted her try the dress on. I know it was wrong, and not to mention risky but it had been a while since me and Charlie had spur-of-the-moment sex.

I loved that we didn't have to hide, we didn't have to make time to have our secret rendezvous, but the sneaking around when we first met was always a turn on, actually this women fully clothed did unimaginable things to me so both of us alone was always bursting with colour.

I have to admit I would have enjoyed being with her when she was pregnant with Jnr, the way she craved sex for this pregnancy made me realize that I missed out on a lot of fun.

Charlie P.O.V

Pregnancy definitely played with my emotions, my judgments, my thoughts, my everything basically, sometimes you spell something out for someone and they still get it wrong, that was me.

When I got inside the cubicle, I was a bit miffed that Brax thought I had gone so big that I had to try on the dress before buying. As I took my top of, I then slid my jeans of, I looked at my reflection and then it clicked. I was stood there with just my black lacy bra and underwear. I grabbed the dress, I had to give it to this man, he was clever, no wonder he kept picking out dresses, knowing I would have to take my pants and top of.

''Brax, I need some help''

The next thing I knew, I still had my back towards the door but I saw his reflection in the mirror. That cheeky grin, my own face mirrored his.

''I thought you would never click on'' he wormed his hands towards my torso, ''better late than never'' and then he started to kiss my neck down my back, he stopped and then he spun me around, this time he kissed my bump, moved his head swiftly up, his face now in the crook of my neck, his torso touching mine, I could feel the solidity that was coming through his pants. I moved my hands under his top, stroking my hands along his back towards the front to his chest. I then slid them slightly down his pants before removing my hands; he grabbed them and replaced them to where they were moments earlier. He took my face in his hands and began to kiss me, the heat erupting, his breaths deeper and more sunken, and me trying to remember the mechanism of breathing, in, out, in, out... his hands then moved to my back and was about to unclasp my bra..

''Nooo, nooo Brax'' I moaned as he continued kissing me,

'' Yeaahhh Charlie''

''Nooo''

''Come on babe''

I could not believe that we were still kissing and had managed to let words escape our mouths. I was not going to have sex in a retail store, no matter how much I wanted it. Actually I wanted it a lot, and it didn't help that Brax was so damn sexy and tempting...

-x-

''Okay that was the best quickie ever'' I told Brax as he did the buckle on his belt. I slipped on my jeans before I dangled my bra in his face,

''Some help pleassee''

He helped clasp my bra and I slipped on my top. I kissed Brax on the lips once more; I grabbed my bag and the dress that I was supposedly trying on. I held Brax's hand and we made our way out of the cubicle, Brax suddenly stopped, whatever he saw was hidden from my view so I moved to his right and then I saw them.

It was the same couple from the car park. The husband had a big grin on his face obviously eloquent to what we had just done; the wife was utterly speechless; she stimulated her head from side to side before walking off in a huff. Her husband followed but he kept his gaze on us. I looked at him with embarrassment and smiled; I didn't know what else to do.

-x-

We was now at Angelo's having some food, the restaurant was closed to the public so we were all on our own, well apart from the chef who was catering for two people.

''Thank you babe for today''

''It's no problem, as long as you had a good time''

''The best, you know my favorite part of the day...'' I moved my eyebrows in an up and down motion

''That I do...'' he then grabbed my hand from across the table, his expression was serious now, ''babe I really need you to stop worrying about Jnr, he is fine. If we started worrying like this then we might as well lock ourselves away and not let him leave our sight''

I know he was right and that it wasn't healthy what I was doing.

'' I promise I will not be as protective and let him breathe…'' he kissed my hand, I got up and went sat on his lap, I kissed his lips and before we both got carried away I headed to the toilets.

Brax P.O.V

Charlie had gone to the toilet and I was waiting on my lonesome for her to come back. Just as I was about to get up and get her, I heard someone come up the steps.

''Not opened''

Whoever it was completely ignored me; instead I heard them continue up the stairs. The person to walk in was the last person that I expected to be gracing me with their presence.

''I'm looking for a Heath Braxton'' the man spoke, to someone else it might have sounded harsh or full of authority, to me it sounded old and croaky. The man then looked at me; he obviously had not recognized me when he first walked in. I saw a smile creep on his face.

''Daryl, Daryl, Daryl... long time, it's been a very long time'' he then laughed, again it might have sounded evil to someone else but to me aged and guttural.

-x-
