Charlie had drifted back off to sleep and Brax saw this as an opportunity to talk to Ruby. As everyone had told him he needed to make a mend with their relationship because if he didn't he knew the one person he cared for would leave him. Brax found Ruby sitting down in a secluded part of the beach; she was staring aimlessly at the waves crashing at the shore. She was in deep-thought. Maybe she had overreacted a little bit, but that didn't change the way she felt.

"Hey Rubes" Brax said warmly. "

Hi" Ruby replied coldly and looked down at the sand.

"I know I'm not your favourite person at the moment but I'm sorry for what I said earlier. It was all in the moment and out of line." Brax said sincerely.

"Whatever, It doesn't change anything" Ruby said icily, digging her feet into the sand.

"I know what it's like not to have an old man and I know what it's like for a guy to come in an act like a father. I want you to know that I will never ever take Charlie away from you and act like a father to you"

"But what if I said I didn't want that? What if I'm jealous that these babies have an awesome loving dad?" Brax didn't know what to say, he was speechless. "Never mind… Thanks for the apology." Ruby got up and started to rush down the beach.

"Wait Ruby. If you ever need something or ever want a father figure you know where to find me." Brax said hugging Ruby before letting her go. Ruby started crying. They weren't sad tears but happy.

"Thank you Brax"

"You're welcome! Also I think Charlie might want to see you. We received some news and she was pretty quiet."

"I'll go see her now"

Charlie was sitting in her hospital room all alone. She hated being alone in there; it reminded her of the numb wounds on her stomach and the horrible things Tegan did to her. But at the moment all Charlie needed was some time out to think about what Dr Smith had told her. She didn't want to give birth to a baby who was already dead, let alone two. It would put a big strain on her relationship with Brax and it would make her emotionally scarred for life.

"Charlie?" Ruby said quietly before walking into the room.

Charlie looked up and smiled. "Hey Rubes,"

"I was just talking to Brax and he said you weren't happy?"

"Why were you talking to Brax? Is everything okay?"

"Charlie, don't avoid the question. Are you okay?"

Charlie broke down in tears. "I'm scared Ruby, I can't bear to lose these little ones"

"It's going to be okay Charlie. Now tell me what the doctor said."

"The doctor said there was a 40% I could have a stillbirth" Ruby was shocked.

"Well, I guess that you're going to take it easy and be treated like the princess you are. I'm thinking Casey, Brax and I will be your new personal slaves." Charlie let out a soft giggle.

"I would love that"

"Of course you would, and I also think you should tell Brax that you scared. He's worried about you."

"I'm just scared to tell him. I don't want to make him stress with my burdens when he has his own"

"I understand that, but I know you Charlie and when you have a problem you tend to shut people out. Just promise me that you won't push him away? Because he's a keeper."

"Okay Rubes" Ruby crept onto the bed and gave her mother a big hug. Even though things weren't perfect, it sure seemed like it was.

"I'm so sorry again, it seems like every time I visit, I interrupt special moments." Dr Smith said walking into the room.

Charlie laughed. "Dr Smith, this is my eldest daughter Ruby"

"Hi" Ruby said politely. "Nice to meet you." Dr Smith put out his hand for Ruby to shake.

"Now Charlie, I think it's better if you're at home rather than here. I am getting the nurses to organise your discharge papers."

Charlie looked shocked. "Ar-are you sure that's wise?"

"Well there is no real reason why you're in here and if you're worried about your wounds, you have no need to be. We can get a home nurse to come see you every day and check on them." Dr Smith replied.

"Oh okay then. Can you call Brax to come get me?"

"Sure thing, I'll be back within 15 minutes" Dr Smith said leaving the room.

"That's great news Charlie" Ruby exclaimed.

"Least I get to be in the comfort of my own home" Charlie said relieved. Brax walked in the room and sensed the happiness.

"Ladies, What's happening?"

"You're too quick" Charlie replied. "I get to go home and Dr Smith said that he was going to call you"

"I think I am just a mind-reader." Brax smirked.

"Don't get a big head" Charlie laughed. Her mood had enlightened when she found out she could go home. She was still scared but least she could be scared in her own home surrounded by the ones she loved.
