BRAX'S POV:
As soon as Liam arrived to unpack the delivery, I hurried off to the hospital, locating Ricky, hurrying into the side room she was in… "Hey"
"Hey" she mirrored, resting her head against my chest as I pulled her into my arms
"What's going on?" I questioned
"Nothing much right now" she replied "the doctor has run some tests so we're just waiting for the results"
"And how're you feeling?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her
"Better now I've had some pain relief" she admitted
RICKY'S POV:
The doctor arrived back in my hospital room an hour later, greeting Brax before opening my file, looking through his notes…
"What's going on, doc?" Brax inquired
"Miss. Sharpe, you're pregnant" he informed us
"What?" I questioned
"You're pregnant. 3 weeks. Congratulations" he explained
"So why did she collapse?" Brax inquired
"Our tests point to stress and dehydration" he informed us "so when you're discharged later today, Miss. Sharpe, you need to rest"
"She will be doing, I'll make sure of it" Brax assured him "thanks, doc"
"Yes, thanks, doctor" I mirrored, smiling at him warmly as he left the room
"Well…" Brax stated
"Yeah" I sighed, resting my head back, shutting my eyes as I let the news sink in
"Ric?" Brax questioned
"Hmm?" I asked
"I thought you'd be happy" he admitted
"I am" I replied "I'm just scared. I can't go through what happened again last time" I informed him
He exhaled a breath and moved back over to the bed, moving onto it, pulling me into him…
BRAX'S POV:
"Ricky!" Casey proclaimed as Ricky and I made our way into the house that evening
"Careful, mate" Heath stated as he followed him into the living room "you gave us a scare, Ric"
"Sorry" she replied, smiling at him weakly "hey, mate. How was school?"
"Good, I made you this" he informed her, handing her a card
"A get well soon card" she chuckled "come here…"
Casey moved over to her as she moved to sit on the sofa and she hugged him tightly, running her hand through his hair…
"You okay?" I mouthed
She nodded her head, signalling yes… "Could murder a cuppa, Heath"
"Coming up" he informed me
"Now you" she stated, pulling away from Casey "go and get into your pyjamas and I'll be in to tell you a bedtime story in a couple of minutes"
"Okay" he replied, hurrying off into his bedroom
"The doctor said take it easy, remember?" I inquired
"Reading Case a bedtime story isn't gonna make me keel over, Brax" she informed me
"Ric, I'm just worried about you" I admitted "you're scared about what happened last time happening, so am I"
She swallowed a lump in her throat and stood up from the sofa, moving over to me, wrapping her arms around my waist… "I didn't mean to snap, sorry"
I smiled at her warmly and kissed her gently… "Just please, take it steady, yeah?"
"I promise I will" she replied "how about you go and grab us some takeout? I could murder a chicken and sweetcorn pizza and a tub of gelato"
"Your wish is my command, m'lady" I informed her
So Ricky and Brax are pregnant, and both are scared about what happened last time happening again. Do you think it will, or will it be smooth sailing this time?
