"Lana, tell us honey, what did Dr Fortelli do to you?" Eva pleaded as she held her now hysterical daughter.
"He touched me" Amelia sobbed uncontrollably into her mother's chest. Brax stormed off out of the room.
"Darryl, Darryl" Eva said as she got up quickly and followed him.
As Brax saw the man with Roberto he assumed he must have been the doctor "Doc" he asked quickly. As the doctor nodded Brax threw a punch sending the doctor flying across the room.
"What the hell are you doing?" Roberto exclaimed as he reached down to help the Dr to his feet. Brax punched the doctor again before finally being dragged away by a very emotional Amelia.
"Darryl please stop it" Amelia sobbed. Brax pulled her close to him, he could feel her shaking. Eva also put her hand on her daughters back.
"Does someone want to tell us what the hell is going on?" one of Amelia's brothers finally stepped forward. Roberto was still stood beside the doctor; he noticed how distressed his daughter was and assumed it must be something to do with her.
"Eva what's going on?" Roberto asked as he continued to watch Amelia. Eva stepped forward cautiously and put her hand on her husband's chest; she moved towards him and spoke softly into Roberto's ear "He touched her" she knew what his reaction would be instantly. Roberto headed over to Amelia and pulled her out of Brax's arms "Is this true?" he whispered softly. Amelia nodded.
"When?" Roberto felt his blood boil, the whole room was now in silence and everyone wondered what the hell was going on. It was then it finally dawned on Brax where he was. He was stood in the house of the mafia 'boss of bosses' surrounded by his entire organisation. Casey had now arrived to see what all the fuss was about.
"I was 10" Amelia sniffed, her face was tearstained and her eyes were red raw. Brax knew this doctor was in trouble, but nothing prepared him for Roberto's reaction. He simply nodded at his son's who didn't hesitate. They grabbed the doctor quickly and dragged him out of the room.
"Roberto please I didn't touch her" the doctor pleaded.
"I didn't say you did. In fact I didn't say what you did to my daughter. You've just told me that yourself" Roberto's voice was frightfully calm. Casey didn't understand what was going on but he realised whatever it was must have been bad. He then noticed the state his mother was in.
"We still need to get you checked out" Brax said as he cupped Amelia's face in his hands. Amelia shook her head.
"Ameliana, you fainted you need to see someone, we need to make sure there is nothing seriously wrong with you" Eva interrupted.
"I already know what's wrong" Amelia smiled nervously as she looked up at Brax. "I'm pregnant" she confessed to a stunned Brax.
Brax frowned a little at his wife before disappearing off upstairs and back into bedroom. As Casey looked around the room he was shocked to see how quickly everything had gone back to normal, it was like the whole doctor thing hadn't even happened. Eva looked extremely confused by Brax's reaction. Why wasn't he happy about Amelia being pregnant?
Suddenly a gunshot caused the whole house to fall silent for a few moments, before conversations were finally resumed. Casey didn't even want to think about what had just happened. Being a River Boy in Summer Bay was a pretty big deal. But Casey couldn't help feeling like a little fish in a big pond. He was completely out of his depth in this house full of Mafia men and their families. Casey disappeared into his bedroom; he never thought he could ever feel so desperate to go home and deal with his problems there.

Brax was sat on the bed when Amelia entered the room; she sat next to her husband "Are you sure?" Brax asked finally breaking the silence between them. Amelia nodded "Yeh, well I think so. I feel sick and I'm late" Amelia explained her theory.
"But you haven't taken a test yet?" Brax was hoping Amelia might have got it wrong.
"Not yet, but I have one" Amelia walked over to the bedroom drawer and pulled out the pregnancy test.
"Where did you get that? You haven't been out anywhere" Brax wondered.
"I brought it with me" Amelia said as she took the test out of its box. Brax's eyes widened. "Why didn't you say anything?" he was shocked that he didn't realise.
"I wasn't sure, and what with Vincent and everything" Brax nodded as Amelia explained "So shall we do this?" she added as she took hold of Brax's hand. Brax couldn't answer so he just nodded.
As Amelia disappeared into the en-suite Brax wasn't sure how he felt. Or what he wanted the result to be. He stood up and headed over to Scarlet's crib. Scarlet was fast asleep, Brax wasn't quite sure how his daughter had slept through the whole commotion, but there she was sleeping like she didn't have a care in the world. As Brax stared at his daughter it was then he realised that if Amelia was pregnant again maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. Brax took a deep breath as he saw Amelia appear from out of the en-suite with the little white stick in her hand.
Amelia sighed as she sat down beside her husband. Brax took her hand in his "Whatever happens we'll deal with it together" he reassured her. Amelia couldn't help but smile. These were the exact words Brax had said to her the day she found out about Casey.
"Besides a little boy would be great" Brax grinned, the more he thought about it the more he accepted the fact that he might be having another baby with the woman he loved.
"It's time" Amelia said as she read the little result window. She turned to Brax "It's positive, I'm pregnant" Amelia was waiting for Brax's reaction. Relief rushed over her as soon as she saw the smile fill his face. He stood up and pulled Amelia to her feet before picking her up off the floor and spinning her round. Amelia let out a squeal, before being interrupted by a knock on the door, Brax quickly returned Amelia to the floor gently.
"Come in" they shouted together. Roberto and Eva entered the room slowly. After what Amelia had just revealed neither of them expected to see this couple so happy.
"Have we missed something?" Roberto wondered.
Brax beamed as he answered his father-in-laws question "Milly's pregnant"
Joy filled Eva and Roberto's faces; they rushed over to Brax and Amelia and hugged them in turn "This is wonderful news. A parting gift from your brother" Eva said with a tear in her eye. Amelia felt a lump in her throat as her mother said this. She hadn't looked at it like that. What a beautiful way to see it. "This is a reason to celebrate" Roberto announced.
Brax and Amelia both looked at eachother. "Yeah sure, but there's someone else we would like to tell first" Brax said as he looked towards Casey's bedroom door.
"Of course" Amelia's Mum and Dad agreed Casey should be told the good news, before they announced it to their guests.
