"whats wrong Jess?" Ricky asked as Jess pulled away from the hug

"um, I liked this boy, I met him on the first day anyway it turned out he has a girlfriend" Jess stated before continuing "anyway it turns out he has feelings for me, at least thats what Matt told me. Long story short, he kissed me when he came to talk to me down at the beach and his girlfriend saw us and now I'm in a turmoil and I don't know what to feel or if anything is going to happen between us." Jess stated upset that this boy would go and play with her feelings like that.

"Jess, who was it?" I asked her

"no don't go and talk to him, please" Jess stated firmly looking at Ricky

"I will go and talk to him not Brax or the boys, ok, I will brax the situation not the person, you can trust me I promise" I replied firmly so she knew family had her back no matter what.

"fine, please don't make this worse Maddy already hates my guts" Jess stated

"Josh" I questioned looking at Jess who was playing with her hands nervously

"yes" she replied

"ok well Ill update Brax and we will go for a walk, ok" ricky stated as she stood up and left Jess's room

"ok" she muttered watching me leave.

Ricky walked out of the room and back out to the kitchen to see me worried about Jess as he held Jaiden.

"hey, whats wrong?, is she fine?" brax questioned looking up to me, it was nice that Jess was taken in with no questions, and now brax was sounding like the over protective brother now which made me smile, not only was he a great dad, he is a great older brother, and caring, over protective older brother to Jess, well all the boys were to her.

"brax calm down, she is in a bit of turmoil with feelings for a boy that she likes" I replied firmly, brax looking confused "he has a girlfriend and this afternoon he kissed her and his girlfriend saw it, Jess is just emotionaly upset" Ricky finished

"seriously" he wasn't happy but I reassured him it was fine and I would take her for walk.

Jess walked out not long after, brax laying on the couch with baby Jaiden as I stood next to the couch.

"are you going to be fine" brax questioned Jess as he saw her appear from the hallway

"yea I will, sorry I came home and didn't go back to school" she stated

"It's fine Jess, should I ring them and tell them it was family issue, do you need the rest of the day off or are you going back to school after your walk?" Brax asked

"um that would be great, and Ill go back to school after the walk" she replied "thanks brax" she stated before she left the house, Ricky kissing me and Jaiden before following Jess out of the house.

We walked along the beach as she saw Josh at the wharf looking out at the bay

"there he is" she stated pointing at the boy in the uniform on the wharf

"ok, Ill go talk to him, sit here" Ricky replied before making her way over to Josh.

"what would be your problem?" Ricky questioned as she sat down next to Josh, he looked upto see Ricky.

"girl problems" he replied looking down at the water

"would this involve Maddy and Jess?" Ricky questioned

"yes, how do you know?" he asked

"well she hasn't me anything, except that she has had feelings for you and that she hasn't acted on it because of you being with maddy, but something happened and she isn't happy as you can see" Ricky stated pointing at her, she was sitting in the sand chucking stones around "so something has happened today and I want to know what it is from you" she stated firmly.

"um, well I have feelings for Jess as well" he replied "and I went to talk to her to find out why she was acting so strange and I found out she had feelings for me, anyway I kissed her and it turns out my girlfriend saw me kissing Jess" I proclaimed

"so are you and maddy broken up?" I questioned him

"yes" he replied looking up to where Jess was still sitting

"you know you have put her in turmoil, she doesn't know what to think, so if you and maddy are getting back together you should go and apoligise to her for mucking her around, but if you and maddy are not getting back together you should go explain it to Jess and give her time to think before you go and mess things up more" Ricky stated firmly, Josh replied thanks and was about to get up and leave

"hey Josh" I stated as he turned to face me "Just to let you know I'm the only one who knows but if you hurt her again Ill make sure I let the boys know" she stated firmly but jokingly he smiled before walking over to Jess, I watched before I got up and walked to the diner, texting Jess ten minutes later reminding her to go back to school.

I walked home and made my way inside, I couldn't find Brax or Jaiden anywhere as I walked into our room I herd giggling from the backyard, I walked out to see Heath, B, Brax and Jaiden playing outside.

"hey Ricky hows Jess?" bianca questioned as she saw me walking out from the house, Brax sat up from playing with Jaiden as he layed on a blanket on the grass, squirming, he couldn't crawl yet but he was so cute laying and squirming about and had Just started smiling.

"shes much better and should be back at school by now" I replied "so what is happening?" I questioned as I sat next to brax on the grass.

"not much" Brax replied "Just thought Jaiden could come outside for an hour or two"

"ok then" Ricky replied "hello my baby boy, how are you?" she said talking to Jaiden as he layed cooeing and looking up at me and started smiling at me, I reciprocated the smile picking him up, cuddling him as brax leaned over kissing me on the lips.

"you know you two are much better parents than I thought you would be, being parents with your own child" heath stated smiling at us.

"thanks heath, I think" I replied jokingly

"can I steal your wife, heath" I questioned looking up at him

"yea, sure" he replied grinning at bianca

Bianca stood up kissing her cheeky husband, as I kissed brax

"Do you want me to take Jaiden or you alright with him?" I asked

"me and heath should be fine, you have some quality time by yourself" Brax stated kissing me again before I left the house with Bianca.

It was coming up to 2:30pm.

We walked down the road to the alley way that cut through to the beach and diner.

"so what were you three talking about before I walked in?" I asked bianca

"not much, really, Brax was talking about how much he loves you and Jaiden" she replied

"ok then" I replied smiling at bianca.

Brax's prov

"you know I remember you and Ricky were when we were teenagers, and I knew she would be the one for you" Heath stated

"really" Brax asked as he cuddled Jaiden before putting him back down on the blanket.

"yea, its great to see you two happy and this little guy" he stated chuckling as Jaiden smiled at his uncle

"yea" brax stated "how did you know it was good to move to marriage?" brax questioned

"um, Just that you can't leave her side and that you won't until you die" heath stated "are you going to ask Ricky?" He questioned

"I don't know, I want their to be more than boyfriend/girlfriend, if you know what I mean" Brax replied

"yea I do, and I think you should do it brax, I know your against the marriage thing but you should" Heath replied

"Ill think about it, thanks for the support bro" brax stated

"algoods bro" Heath replied as he said bye to Jaiden and slapped me on the back like he always does.

Ricky's prov

B was not acting normal and I thought something was up with her and Heath, turned out I was wrong.

We walked down the beach as she stared at the sand.

"hey B, whats wrong you have been quiet for near all of this walk" Ricky asked looking over to B and slowing her walking now.

"nothing its fine" she said looking up at me

"I know when your lying B, has something gone down with you and heath?" I questioned

"yea but it isn't bad, I promise" she stated

"so whats wrong" I questioned more confused

"I'm pregnant Ricky" she said but before I congratulated her she carried on talking "I'm just worried about having a baby and Darcy now"

"B, just like you said to me, you will be a great mum ok, and you will be great both with Darcy and this baby ok" I stated reassuringly "have you told heath" I questioned

"no, I haven't yet" she replied

"when are you going to tell him" I questioned as we walked up the steps to the diner

"Ill tell him tonight, thanks Rick" bianca stated as we walked up on to the wharf about to enter the diner

"your welcome B" I replied hugging her

We ordered coffees and sat at the table talking.

"Just a question Rick but do you think you and Brax would ever get married?" Bianca questioned

"um, no I don't think so, we aren't those kind of people, why do you ask?" Ricky replied

"just wondering, you and brax would be great together, and I think you would have wanted to say husband at one point of your life and him saying wife" Bianca stated she had a point I have wanted to be married but growing up in Mangrove River, their is never really any settling down. Bianca's question made me think if that was what brax was talking about, or if she was just wondering like she said.

Will bianca tell Heath?

What will happen between Josh and Jess?

Will Brax propose to Ricky?

Thanks for the reviews xx enjoy x
