Haha who knew? I have just seen today's episode of Home and Away. Anyone else pick up on the new English teacher replacing Miles. You know the one Casey took a shine too. And apparently she and Heath have already met. Just thought I'd mention that, anyways here's the next chapter.

Brax followed his brother out of the hospital and managed to catch up with him in the Car park "Casey, wait up" Brax yelled as he grabbed Casey's arm.

"I can't do this Brax" Casey exclaimed as he turned to face his brother. "My everything is laid in that hospital bed and I can't even do anything"

"You have to hold it together Casey. If you blab then the first thing Aaliyah will face when she wakes up is a load of awkward questions. Is that really what you want?" Brax didn't mean to sound so harsh, but he didn't want Casey to drop Aaliyah in it either.

Before Casey could reply the brothers were interrupted "Er...Aaliyah's awake" Sid smiled cheerfully. Both brothers quickly followed Sid back inside. Sid led them into her room; he stopped Casey at the door "I'm sorry only Brax can go in". Casey was unimpressed but agreed. He knew he couldn't give anything away.

Aaliyah smiled as Brax walked in the room, closing the door behind him. "Where's Casey?" she asked quickly when she realised Casey hadn't followed Brax into the room. "He's outside, Aaliyah I need to tell you something" Brax started, Aaliyah looked nervous as Brax sat on the chair beside her bed.

"While we were in the classroom do you remember what I told Johnny?" Brax asked her, hoping she remembered. Aaliyah nodded "Yes, you told him I was sleeping with you" Aaliyah remembered.

"Yeh, well Johnny assumed the baby's mine. And when we got to the hospital I had to tell the doctors that as well, Casey was a mess and he nearly told them everything" Brax explained.

"So you told them that we are together and the baby's yours" Aaliyah said trying to get her head around Brax's explanation. Brax nodded quickly before being interrupted by the door opening. Sid came in with and ultrasound machine.

"Ok, so this is going to feel cold" Sid said as he squeezed some jelly on Aaliyah's stomach. Aaliyah looked at Brax; she saw how uncomfortable he looked. Brax felt terrible 'It should be Casey sat here holding Ali's hand' he thought to himself quietly as he watched the screen. His eye's widened when he saw a little blob appear "Ok so everything seems fine" Sid sighed. Aaliyah smiled as she watched the screen. Brax had a lump in his throat as he stared at the little blob. He might not be the baby's dad but that baby was still his flesh and blood. He squeezed Aaliyah's hand a little tighter.

"Ok Aaliyah, judging by this, you are about 6 weeks pregnant" Sid explained.

"6 weeks" Aaliyah smiled.

Brax smiled as Sid handed him some printed pictures of the baby. He knew where these needed to go. He stood up quickly "I'm just gonna make a few calls, will you be ok babe" Brax said convincingly, he leant over and kissed Aaliyah on the head. Aaliyah nodded, she had an idea where Brax was heading.

Casey was stood just outside the door, Brax walked over to him and handed him the photos. "What's this" Casey asked as he looked at the picture. Brax didn't need to tell him though because as soon as Casey saw the picture he knew instantly "Is that" Casey quizzed his brother, with tears in his eyes. "Yes mate, that's your baby" Brax grinned as he put his hand behind Casey's head.

Charlie was jogging along the beach when she bumped into Bianca "I'm so sorry Bianca" Charlie exclaimed quickly. "Its fine" Bianca smiled "Hey is everything ok?" she added when she saw the look on Charlie's face.

"You're friends with Aaliyah Henderson aren't you?" Charlie questioned curiously.

"Yeah, why?" Bianca wondered.

"Did you know she's pregnant?" Charlie just came out with it.

"What no, who told you?" Bianca was gob smacked she didn't even know Aaliyah was seeing anyone. Then suddenly it dawned on her, the only person Aaliyah had been seeing was Casey Braxton.

"I found her pregnancy test when we arrived at the school after the shooting, Darryl Braxton confirmed it" Charlie added interrupting Bianca trail of thoughts.

"Brax?" Bianca's tone confused Charlie.

"Yes, it's his baby apparently" Charlie continued hoping Bianca would be able to shine some light on the situation. Bianca looked stunned "No I'm sorry I couldn't tell you" Bianca said finally. Charlie watched as the blond rushed off up the beach.

Meanwhile back at the hospital Brax had decided to give Aaliyah and Casey some space. He figured they would have a lot to talk about. Brax decided he had some sorting out to do with Charlie.

Aaliyah's face lit up when Casey walked in the room "I'm sorry" she said with tears in her eyes.

"Hey, it's ok" Casey said quickly as he leant down and put his arms around her, he sat in the chair next to the bed and took hold of Aaliyah's hand. Casey wasn't sure what to say; asking her how she was feeling wasn't exactly going to help so he just kept quiet for a while. Aaliyah finally broke the silence "Are you angry with me?"

Casey looked up at her "What, no of course not" Casey replied kissing her hand.

"I didn't know Brax was going to say those things" Aaliyah tried to explain.

"Hey, look at me" Casey interrupted "None of that is important, the only thing that matters is you and our baby is ok"

Aaliyah smiled "Our baby" she repeated. Casey nodded "Yep". He leant forward to kiss her, before pulling away quickly as the door opened.

"MUM" a little voice exclaimed, it was Riley. He ran and jumped on Aaliyah's bed and hugged her tightly.

"Hey buddy" Aaliyah grinned as she held her son.

"Hey mate why you don't let your mum breath for a minute" Heath laughed as he appeared from behind the door.

"Hey" Aaliyah smiled as she looked at Heath.

"Hey, Casey would you mind taking Riley for a drink?" Heath wasn't really asking Casey, it was more telling him. Aaliyah could see the filthy look Casey threw at Heath, before reluctantly taking the little boy out.

Aaliyah looked a little worried as Heath pulled up the chair beside her.

"Ali, I need to tell you something, and I need to tell you now before I lose my bottle. I don't usually do things like this, but you do things to me that make me crazy" Aaliyah could sense where this conversation was going "Heath I…" Aaliyah said trying to stop him.

"Let me finish, I know you're having Brax's baby, but I need to know if you are seeing him?" Heath asked. Aaliyah shook her head "No"

Heath looked relieved at Aaliyah's reply "That's good, because I think I'm in love with you". Aaliyah just stared at Heath wide eyed. Had he really just said that?

Brax knocked gently on Leah's door, he was glad Charlie answered "Lave me alone" Charlie snapped as she tried to close the door, Brax stopped her and barged his way in.

"I need to talk to you" He said trying to hug her. Charlie just moved away coldly.

"What about" she spat angrily "You relationship with Aaliyah, or the fact you got her pregnant" she exclaimed still trying to move away from him.

"I promise you Charlie it's not what you think" Brax tried to explain himself.

"Really so you didn't sleep with her?" Charlie questioned with a slightly sarcastic tone.

Brax paused for a moment "It's not as easy as that".

"It is from where I'm standing, it's either your baby or it isn't" Charlie yelled.

Brax was torn; he loved Charlie and hated what this was doing to her. But he knew if he told her the truth then Casey's life would be over. What a mess? Surely there was another way round this? He thought to himself before answering Charlie's question.

I really hope that chapter was ok. Please let me know what you think.

R & R much love Nikayla x x
