Hey guys sorry I haven't been updating much. I currently have my wrist in a cast (hopefully its coming off this week!) and I'm getting married in about 20 days (25 Feb) I will try and update but for the next month and a half it's not going to be that often. This is also the same for my other two stories


Charlie sighed as eased herself onto the bar stool. "Hey beautiful, how are you feeling?" asked Brax from behind the bar as he continued to work. All the table at Angelo's were full so even with Brax on the bar his staff were rushing around.

She glared back at him. "I think we need to get your eyes tests because I'm not beautiful."

Brax chucked as he grabbed a glass half filling it with ice. "Oh that great then. Look it doesn't matter what you say you will always be beautiful to me especially when you're carrying my child. Wait babe is that actually a smile I see?"

It didn't matter how down Charlie was feeling, Brax always knew what to say to make her feel better but she right now she didn't want him to know it. "Maybe but I'm still hot! Look can you give me a ride home? I walked down with Bianca and Darcy to get some icecream but there is no way I can make it all the way home."

Placing the drinks on the bar he signalled a waiter to take them to the table. "Ah yea sure but it isn't going to be for at least an hour." Charlie sighed. "Sorry baby but with the nice weather we are really busy today. How about I get you a drink?"

"Ok can I get a coke? This place is really humming today" she looked around.

"Yea it's been like this a lot lately. I need to start sorting out the roster for when you have the baby. I'm planning on having at least 2 weeks off then hopefully I can work less shifts for at least a couple of months." He placed her glass of coke on the bar.

She took a sip before drinking half the glass. Even though she had been out in the heat she hadn't realised how thirsty she was. "Thanks. It will be nice to have you at home but I think you will go crazy not working."

"Yea but there will be lots to do at home with the little man. I can do the paper work at home plus I was thinking about looking for sites for a new restaurant..."

She raised her eyebrows "really Brax? We have to be careful with our money right now because I don't want to go back to work for at least a year."

"Yea I know and you know how I feel about you working after you have the baby. I promised you I will always look after and I meant it. Heath has been doing a lot more around here and he will be running the joint when I'm off so that could continue while I start the new place."

"Sounds like you have already got it all worked out" answered Charlie not trying to hide her annoyance.

"Look baby it isn't like that. I have just been thinking a lot but I haven't actually planned anything yet. Anyway I don't want to fight now, I was thinking that we could do home tonight and have a relaxing night together."

"You want to have sex with me when I look and feel like this?" exclaimed Charlie.

"No I was thinking maybe dinner, a movie, a back and foot rub for you. Sex never even crossed my mind" he lied not wanting to upset her even more.

"Brax we are out of tomatoes" called one of the chefs from the kitchen.

"I need to go sort this out" he pointed to the kitchen. "Help yourself to another drink if you want it baby and I will take you home as soon as I can."

Charlie sat there without a word and watched as Brax walked into the kitchen. She knew it wasn't his fault but Brax was really annoying her at the moment. Actually everything was annoying her. She had an easy early pregnancy but she was really paying for it now.

Getting off the bar stool she made her way to the bathroom when she felt something running down her leg. "Oh my god" gasped Charlie as realised what it was. Standing the middle of the restaurant she looked down to see a pool of liquid on the floor below her.

"Excuse me Ms? Are you ok?" asked an older woman getting up from her table.

"Um Brax I need Brax" cried Charlie. Seeing the confused look on the ladies face she added "he owns this place. He should be around here somewhere."

She ran towards the kitchen trying to find Brax or someone that would know where he was. Charlie stood there not sure what do as the rest of the restaurant continued on not realising what was going on.

"Charlie!" called Brax as he came running out of the kitchen.

"Brax" gasped Charlie. "Brax I think my water broke..."
"I think you might be right" answered Brax taken her hand. "Come on we need to get you out of here and take you to the hospital." He turned to the waiter that had followed him out of the kitchen "Mike make sure this mess is cleaned up and ring Claire to see if he can come in early to cover me." Still holding Charlie's hand he led her out of the restaurant and down the stairs.

"I want to go home first" said Charlie as they made their way down the stair.

Brax hold up his hand stopping people coming up until they reached the bottom. "What? Charlie your having a baby you need to got to the hospital not home!"

"Brax we both went to the same classes so you should know that it can take hours from the water breaking to the baby coming. I want to come home have a nice warm shower, clean myself up then we can go to the hospital."

"Charlie I don't think that is a good idea."

"Well Darryl I don't actually care what you think! Take me home now!"


PS Sorry to leave it there!
