'Drew Barrymore' Georgia said

'Huh' Heath replied.

The two of them were in the waiting room before Georgia's first round of Chemo was to begin,

'When my hair falls out, I think I want a Drew Barrymore wig, she always had awesome ombre hair so I might just take that for granted' Georgia smiled

'Your hair might not fall out' Heath muttered

'I read the brochure last night and practically everyone said that I will be malting within a couple of weeks' Georgia sighed stroking her hair

'Wigs are expensive' Heath murmured

'Well maybe I will just buy one of those tinsel mullet ones from a 2 dollar shop' Georgia laughed.

Heath raised his head 'Chemotherapy is serious, Georgie. I really want you to get through this. It isn't all a joke' He muttered

'I know' Georgia mumbled, frowning

Heath watched her giggly face fade into a scared one. He felt bad for taking her happy mood away so he put his hand on her thigh and smiled 'January Jones'

'What?' Georgia asked

'January Jones, if you get a wig go blonde like her' he smiled causing Georgia to laugh

Suddenly a nurse walked over to them 'Miss Callahan, your medicine is ready. Please follow me into the room for a briefing'

Georgia nervously stood up; her hands were sweating and shaking as she followed the nurse. Heath grabbed her hand and put an arm around her waist, he kissed her head. 'It's going to be ok' he whispered, as they closed the door behind them.

.

The room was quiet. Brax had invited Darcy along to Charlie's house for a proper introduction. The three of them were sitting at her table, sipping coffee and a milkshake for Darcy.

Charlie didn't know how to start conversation. So you are the kid of the lady who I actually really hate and have called a bitch on several occasions oh! And the child of my boyfriend who you almost saw me having sex with on the beach a few days ago… can you pass me the butter?

Brax stared at Charlie then at Darcy, eagerly hoping for one of them to begin some sort of conversation.

'So…Charlie, are you and my mum friends?' Darcy suddenly asked, slurping her milkshake

Charlie put on a panicky face towards Brax. 'Uh…they are kind of like acquaintances' Brax suggested

'Oh' Darcy said

Charlie knew that she wouldn't be able to put on the act of being friends with Tegan for long 'No we aren't, your mum and I aren't friends in fact she quite possibly hates me' Charlie said point blank,

Darcy laughed 'She can be a real pain'

Charlie giggled 'I know'

'Yesterday she actually tried to get me to clean the toilet' Darcy grimaced

'Gross!' Charlie smiled; glad she was getting along with Darcy.

'Your mother was a handful' Brax agreed, putting an arm around Charlie's waist.

The three of them chatted away until Brax noticed the time.

'Oh crap. Its almost 3pm. I have work in 10 minutes, Darce lets go' Brax said, standing up.

Darcy frowned, 'please can I stay' she asked, putting on her best puppy dogface.

'Charlie has work sweetie-' Brax began

'No I don't! Not until tomorrow' Charlie interrupted

Brax looked at her as if to say, are you sure?

'Thanks!' Darcy grinned

'Okay, I'll pick you up after my shift.' Brax said nervously. He kissed Darcy's head and kissed Charlie's lips.

'Thankyou' he whispered to her

'Don't worry, she is gorgeous' Charlie insisted, hugging Brax.

Brax nodded and headed out the door.

.

Darcy sat on Charlie's couch.

'Darce, when did you find out Brax was your father?' Charlie asked sitting next to her on the couch.

'One day ago, Mum came into the house after she saw you guys at the diner, she was really angry and just randomly said it.' Darcy exclaimed

'Oh' Charlie replied, could Tegan have lied about it during her anger?

'I'm glad she told me because I always liked Brax, he was really cool when he was dating my mum- not that I don't like you because I really do!' Darcy stammered

Charlie laughed 'I like you as well'

'What are your friends like?' Charlie asked

'Great. I have heaps. My best friends are Maddie, Loren, Ruby and…Amber' Darcy babbled

'Has Aunty G introduced you all to Amber?' Darcy asked

Charlie looked confused 'Why would she have? Who is Amber?'

'My cousin…. she doesn't live with any of the family. She was put up for adoption at birth but she visits me loads and has seen Georgia a bit' Darcy said

'Georgia has a kid?' Charlie cried

'Yeah' Darcy admitted

'How old is she?' Charlie asked

'Around 9'

Charlie remembered Georgia saying she left Heath after 9 years so the kid could very easily be his or anyone else's.

***Who was expecting that? Who is the father?***

.

'Darcy, I have got to drop you off to your mums, I have to speak with Georgia' Charlie apologized in a rush.

'Ok, I didn't mean to get Aunty G in trouble! She was always so upset during the pregnancy. Please don't get me in trouble' Darcy panicked.

'I won't' Charlie replied, ushering Darcy into the car.

.

Georgia was sitting in the armchair at the hospital for her Chemotherapy, she stared at the single needle injecting medicine into her blood stream. The needle didn't hurt as much but it felt weird under her skin having liquid pumped into her body. Heath had gone home as he wanted her to get used to it before having him watching.

Charlie barged into the room of the hospital. Her mind was whirling. Georgia has a kid? Who is the father of the kid? What isn't Georgia saying?

'Charlie, hey!' Georgia greeted her surprisedly.

Charlie took a breath 'I'm freaking out!' she admitted

Georgia looked concerned 'What about? Sit down. About Brax maybe having a kid?'

'No, about you having a kid' Charlie replied.

Georgia looked stunned. Her eyes grew wide and her face went white.

'How do you know about-' she began to talk in a whisper

'About Amber?' Charlie interrupted angrily 'I found out from Darcy! Bloody hell Georgia, I found out from a 10 year old!'

Georgia looked at the ground and Charlie saw tears drip off her face, she wiped her eyes and looked at Charlie's face.

'I'm sorry' Charlie admitted 'But, you didn't tell me, Brax or even Heath I'm guessing…Georgia, you almost died without telling me that you had a child' Charlie whispered, sitting on the chair next to her.

'Can you get me a glass of water?' Georgia whispered

'Georgia!' Charlie insisted, frustrated at the change of subject.

'I am during my first session of chemotherapy and the medicine is giving me a metallic taste in my mouth, will you please get me a glass of water' Georgia murmured.

Charlie sighed and stood up. She walked over to the water dispenser and poured Georgia a drink.

'Thankyou' Georgia whispered as Charlie shoved the glass in front of her.

Charlie nodded and sat back down.

'What does she look like?' Charlie asked, grabbing Georgia's trembling hand

Georgia peered up 'Pass me my wallet, please?' She asked

Charlie passed her the brown, leather wallet. 'Thankyou' Georgia responded. Charlie watched as she unzipped the pocket and withdrew a photograph.

'This is her on her 9th birthday' Georgia said, handing Charlie the photo.

A little brown haired girl was smiling at the camera. She had very tan skin and dark green eyes.

'She is pretty' Charlie nodded

'Yeah…' Georgia nodded

Suddenly a nurse walked through the door. 'Hey Miss Callahan, your first dose is finished. How did you find it?' She asked in a perky voice

'My mouth tastes like metal and my body hurts like shit' she muttered

'Great!' the nurse replied, walking towards Georgia to remove the needle from her arm.

'I'll see you later Georgia' Charlie mumbled, walking out the door.

'Charlie!' Georgia called out

'Yea' Charlie responded, turning around

'Don't go talking about stuff you don't know the full story about' Georgia said

'Yeah, alright' Charlie muttered

'Please! I'll call you tonight. We can talk later at Angelos' Georgia insisted with pleading eyes.

.

'Hey you' Brax greeted Charlie at the door of Angelos. Charlie was meeting Georgia to talk about Amber.

'Hey' Charlie mumbled, her mind was set on talking to Georgia

'Darce said that you had to drop her home early. What happened?' Brax asked concerned

'Uh…nothing, I just visited Georgia she had her first session of Chemotherapy and…uh..wanted company' Charlie lied

'Oh, okay' Brax smiled 'Georgie is at the table by the window, I'll see you later'

'Thanks, love you' Charlie murmered, brushing her hand on his arm

She looked over at Georgia and sighed. There was so much that needed to be explained.
