RICKY'S POV:

The day of mine and Brax's three-month scan had come. Seeing Jacob off to school under the watchful eye of Heath, I got myself organised whilst Brax went for his morning surf…

"Ready when you are" Brax informed me twenty minutes later

I smiled at him warmly as I turned my body from where I'd been sat on the sofa to face him… "We're gonna see our baby today"

"Someone's excited" he chuckled, leaning down to kiss me softly

"It's the start of our life, Brax. Me, you, Jacob and this one" I replied, running my hand through his hair "shall we get going?"

I nodded my head, signalling yes. Climbing from the sofa, I grabbed my handbag from the side, shouting a thank you to Bianca who wished us good luck as we made our way down the driveway to Brax's car. Opening the passenger door for me, I smiled at him warmly and thanked him as I climbed in and fastened my seatbelt…

"You didn't tell me Bianca knew" he admitted as he reversed out of the driveway

"She guessed" I explained "she knew the signs"

"She hasn't told anyone else, has she?" he questioned

"Do you think Heath would've kept quiet if he knew?" I asked

"No" he replied, smiling at me warmly as he glanced at me "we just don't wanna jinx anything"

I nodded my head in agreement, leaning over to kiss cheek… "I love you, Darryl Braxton"

"I love you too, Erica Sharpe" he mirrored

Laughing loudly, we continued our journey to the hospital in a comfortable silence. Arriving half-an-hour later, I checked myself in and made my way to sit down next to Brax…

"Nervous?" he inquired, placing his hand on my jumpy leg

"A bit" I admitted "I just don't want them to say anything's wrong"

"What makes you think there will be?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow at me

"I've just got a gut feeling something's gonna go wrong" I sighed

"Even if it does, which it won't, everything's gonna be okay. Me, you and the baby, we're gonna be okay" he assured me, pressing a kiss to my forehead as he pulled me into him

"Erica Sharpe?" a nurse called

"Time to find out" I replied. Standing up, I entwined my hand with Brax's. Reaching down to pick up my handbag, I was sent flying backwards as an explosion went off…
