Brax decided to stay the night with Charlie for support is she needed it. The appointment was scheduled until the afternoon and that meant that they could both get a sleep in. Although for Brax his emotions weren't letting him sleep. He couldn't sleep knowing that person he loved was going through so much pain and angst because of him. Thought after thought popped through Brax's head, but one in particular didn't leave; what happens if the baby was never there, what would happen to their relationship?
Brax was playing a game on his phone when he noticed Charlie started to sweat, she was still asleep. He thought it was quite weird as he had never seen her do that. She started to squirm and woke up crying. She was distraught whatever she was dreaming about really got to her. Charlie jumped up breathing heavy, she was shaking and tears were streaming from her eyes. She quickly grabbed Brax. Brax wrapped his arms around her and tried to calm her down.
"Charlie, what's the matter" Brax said rubbing her back.
"My baby, it's in trouble" Charlie managed to get in between sobs.
"Charlie, you don't have a baby, it's still in your stomach" Brax reassured Charlie.
"No, no, no" Charlie whimpered. "Ruby's in danger" Charlie was beside herself.
"Ruby is fine, it was just a dream" Brax said still tightly holding Charlie.
"I'm going to check on her" Charlie unravelled herself from Brax's arms and got out of bed and headed towards Ruby's bedroom. Brax waited in the bedroom for Charlie, he could here banging around. He started to get out of bed to check on Charlie.
"Brax" Charlie shrieked. Brax bounded out of the room.
"What, what is it?" Brax asked.
"She's not here" Charlie said frantically.
"She's probably with Casey" Brax said, getting his phone out. "I'll call him now"
"I've got to look for her"
"Charlie just hold on a second, she is alright. It was just a dream" Brax said grabbing Charlie's arm before she left the house. Brax rang Casey
Brax: Hey Mate, do you know where Ruby is?
Casey: Hey Brax, yea she is with me. Where at the diner having a coffee with Tegan.
Brax: That's good, could you come back to Charlie's now?
Casey: Now? Why is everything okay?
Brax: Please just come!
"Is Ruby with him?" Charlie quickly asked as soon as Brax hung up the phone.
"Yes, she is" Brax said, pulling Charlie into a hug. "They will be here in a second" Charlie let out a cry of happiness. "Now, why were you panicking?"
"She was in danger Brax" Charlie sobbed.
"How was she in danger?"
"She was in a house that was surrounded by national park" Brax knew exactly what house she was talking about. It was the house in the national park that had been abandoned and the river boys came across it one day and they kept an eye on it and made it their headquarters.
"It was just a dream, don't stress"
Casey and Ruby walked in with Tegan closely following.
"Hey, what did you want?" Casey said joining Charlie and Brax at the dining table.
"Um Case, why is she here" Brax asked, looking at Tegan.
"Well, we saw her at the diner and joined her." Casey gave Brax a confused expression.
"Alright" Brax said. "Um Charlie and I have to go but we just wanted to make sure you guys were safe"
"Why wouldn't we be safe Brax" Ruby questioned.
"Um, because there was a kidnapping and it involved two teens around you age" Charlie piped in, hoping no one would discover that she was lying.
"Fair enough! Where are you going?" Ruby asked again.
"WE have an Ultrasound appointment" Charlie said looking upset.
Ruby looked confused. "I thought you had that yesterday?"
"Yea we did" Charlie's face went a bit pale her eyes were fixed on the ground. "I'm going to get changed" Charlie got up to and headed towards her bedroom. Casey and Ruby said their goodbyes and left.
"So, what's up with your pig and baby piglet?" Tegan remarked sitting down next to Brax.
"She's not a pig. They couldn't detect the baby's heartbeat." Brax said.
"Aww, that's too bad." Tegan said pulling a face. "Pity, you know when she's raped she gets a kid but when she has a man that sticks by she doesn't. Looks like you're a good luck charm" Tegan added sarcastically.
"How do you know that she was raped?" Brax asked.
"Oh please, it's a small town Brax. People talk!"
"Just leave Tegan" Brax demanded.
"Don't think this is the last time you hear from me" Tegan said sternly and walked out.
Charlie and Brax arrived at the hospital in hope of good news. Sid spotted them and directed them towards an empty room. It felt like déjà vu. Charlie lied on the bed and Brax took a seat next the bed. He held Charlie's hand close to his heart.
"How are you feeling Charlie?" Sid asked setting up the equipment.
"Alright I suppose" Charlie answered.
"I must warn you guys that the results might not be what you expected." Sid warned.
"Okay" Charlie said looking at Brax. He looked more nervous than Charlie. Sid squeezed the gel onto Charlie's stomach. Sid was carefully studying the screen. The room was silent. In one short minute Sid picked up a heartbeat.
"Congratulations, this is your baby" Sid said pointing at the screen.
Charlie ecstatic. "He just looks like his dad!"
"How do you know it's a boy?" Brax asked Charlie.
"Well he or she looks like its father" Charlie laughed. Brax was really happy.
"I can't tell what sex it is but in a couple of months we will" Sid said.
When they got home Casey and Ruby were sitting on the lounge watching a DVD.
"How did it go?" Ruby asked worried.
"It went really great!" Charlie exclaimed she couldn't hide her smile.
"That is so good. I am so happy for you!" Ruby said hugging Brax and Charlie.
