"Yea" Charlie beamed, her eyes going back to the ticket "This is gonna be the best two weeks ever"

Brax chuckled as he looked down at her "I hope that's because of company and not destination"

Charlie stood on the tip of her toes and placed a kiss on his lips "Destination is just a bonus. I'm simply looking forward to strutting around in my birthday suit" she winked at him and Brax placed another kiss on her lips

"I'm Hella glad I married you" he said and Charlie laughed as they went to check in

One week into the honeymoon

"Still can't believe you passed up on dessert" said Brax as he shrugged his suit jacket off and placed it on the bed

"Yea, well, given that our waitress was eyeing you like you were the dessert, I kinda lost my appetite" said Charlie from the bathroom and Brax laughed

"She was just being polite" he pulled off his shoes and placed them beside the bed before he began unbuttoning his shirt "She was probably just making sure she got a tip"

Charlie scoffed "Yea, in her breasts. She was thrusting those things at you like her life depended on it. For a moment I though the damn things were gonna fall out of her shirt and right onto your plate"

Brax full on laughed now, shaking his head "Jealous, Mrs Braxton"

Charlie scoffed "No, just stating a fact. And flashing my ring at her didn't even seem to make a difference. Hussy" she muttered the last part under her breath but still loud enough for Brax to hear

He chuckled and dropped his shirt onto the bed, now only stood in his pants. About to walk into the bathroom, he stopped dead, mouth open as Charlie walked in, in what he could only describe as the most dangerous piece of lace known to man. His throat dried up as a low grin crossed Charlie's face as she leaned against the door

"Like what you see?"

Speech had deserted Brax, so he simply nodded

"I figured since you didn't get to have any dessert back at the restaurant it was only fair I at least supply you with some, now we're alone"

Charlie edged away from the door, and the red lace material clung to her body in a sinful way. Brax swallowed loudly, his eyes trailing her long legs that were lifted in black heels.

"Bianca packed quite a lot of lace in my suitcase, didn't want it all going to waste. I know how much you like lace" Charlie kept walking till she stood in front of Brax. Brax's gaze piercing through Charlie's, sent an excited shiver coursing through her body

Finally finding his baring, Brax reached out and ran his index finger, along the outside of her thigh, right up to her waist. A grin settled on his face as he heard Charlie blow out a shaky breath; he loved how he affected her

"Remind me to purchase several presents for Bianca before we go back home" he stepped closer to her, closing any gap that had remained between the both of them "But right now…" he ran his index finger higher, skimming the side of her breast "I don't want to talk or think about anybody else but you"

Before Charlie could blink, Brax had unlatched her bra "I really like this one, but I prefer you" Brax slid the lace slowly down her arms before allowing it drop to the floor "…like this" he finished and groaned as he skimmed his thumb over Charlie's breast causing her to whimper

Charlie dropped her hand to his pants and zipped them down, Brax instantly stepped out of them.

Charlie grinned as she hooked her finger into the band of his boxers

"I need this to come off too" she pulled them down and Brax stepped out of them

"I agree, why to many layers" said Brax as his hand slid back down her body stopped at the edge of her panties. His eyes followed his hand, as they slid to her hips "I'll just get rid of these" he pulled at the knots of the side of her knickers and they instantly fell to the ground. Brax blinked and gave a wolfish grin "This is most definitely my favorite kind of dessert"

Charlie went to step out of her heals but Brax held her in place and shook his head "Na uh" the corner of his mouth dipped up, as he leaned in, licking her bottom lip before sucking on it "Keep them on"

Charlie slipped out of her sandals and picked them up before slipping her free hand into Brax's, as he led her along the beach.

"This has been amazing" she spoke, as Brax dropped her hand and wrapped his arm around her waist instead

Brax smiled and placed a kiss on her temple "It really as" he agreed. He looked down at the ring on her finger and his smile widened. Coming to a stop, he turned Charlie to face him, and wrapped his other arm around her, pulling her right against him. He simply smiled down at her, not a word spoken

Charlie inhaled a deep breath, a blush rising to her cheeks as Brax's gaze focused solely on her. Brax lifted a hand and ran it across her cheek, his thumb skimming just below her eye

"How can you be blushing after what we did last night" he grinned as Charlie's blush deepened to a dark shade of red "Love that I can still make you blush" said Brax and Charlie bit into the corner of her bottom lip, her eyes on his

"I don't think that will ever change" she replied

"Good"

Charlie took one of Brax's hand and placed it on her chest, letting him feel the rapid beating of her heart "This is what you do to me" she spoke, her gaze unmoving from his "You calm me and make me nervous all at the same time" she smiled "A good nervous"

Brax's smiled so wide, his dimples dipped deep into his cheeks. Lifting one of Charlie's hands he placed it over his own chest, his heart beating just as fast as hers "That goes both ways" he spoke. Lifting her hand he placed a kiss on the tip of her fingers "You look amazing tonight"

Charlie rolled her eyes. In a simple white and black maxi dress, she didn't think she looked that good but Brax had told her otherwise countless times that night

"Just tonight" she raised an eyebrow, teasing him

Brax shook his head "Na, you blow me away every night but figured the more I tell you this, the higher my chances of getting lucky tonight"

Charlie chuckled "Is it only my body you're interested in Braxton"

"Ummm" Brax leaned forward, stopping when his lips were only mere inches from hers "That, and everything else" his lips brushed hers lightly, over and over again, till he seemed to give in and crushed his lips against hers. Charlie wrapped her amrs around his neck, taking all he was giving her.

Finally feeling the need for air, they both pulled back, their breaths heavy. Brax shook his head, a grin on his face "I love you, you know that"

Charlie's grinned matched his as she nodded before pulling him in for another kiss

Six months later

Charlie and Brax looked up, as Heath came down the hall, a huge smile on his face. Charlie stood to her feet followed by Brax

"So?" asked Charlie, her feet tapping against the hospital floor

"A boy" he said "She had a boy" Heath chuckled loudly, pride radiating off his body

Charlie squealed a little and Brax patted Heath on the back

"Can we go see her?" asked Charlie and Heath chuckled

"Yea, she asked for you guys to come through. Apparently if she made you wait any longer to see your nephew she feared you might start verbally abusing someone"

Charlie smiled and practically ran down the hall "She's right"

Brax and Heath followed behind her. Knocking lightly on the door Charlie pushed it open, her smile widening as she saw Bianca sat up on the bed, her baby boy in her arms

"Hey" she walked into the room and over to Bianca's side so she could get a proper look at her nephew "Aww" she pursed her lips not wanting to cry "He is beautiful"

Bianca smiled up at Charlie "Would you like to hold him?"

Charlie nodded eagerly and Bianca chuckled as she gently placed her son into Charlie's waiting arms. Looking at the small bundle in her arms, Charlie slowly sat down on the chair behind her

"Hey. We've waited a long time to meet you, little fella" she stroked his cheek and her heart squeezed as his small fingers gripped her index finger "He's got a tight grip" she said as she looked up at Bianca

"What do you expect? He's a Braxton" said Heath and Charlie chuckled

"You guys got a name for him yet?" asked Charlie

"We both really liked the name Theo, so we settled on Theo Isaiah Braxton" answered Bianca

"You named him Isaiah?" asked Brax. Isaiah was also his middle name

"Yea" replied Heath, rubbing a hand over the back of his neck. "I know people sometimes use their parents' names as their kid's middle name, but you know…"Heath cleared his throat and Brax nodded, grinning at the fact they had named their child after him

"I know" said Brax, as he bent down besides Charlie

"Aren't you a good looking kid? Obviously take after your mum" said Brax. Charlie smiled widely as she stared down at Brax, watching him

"I'll have you know he looks like me" said Heath as he stood beside Bianca, his hand in hers

"Na" Brax shook his head "He is all Bianca"

Bianca looked up at Heath with a smug smile on her face and Heath shook his head. His expression suddenly turned serious and Bianca frowned

"I really was gonna wait before doing this" said Heath

Brax and Charlie looked up from, Theo, at Heath's words as Bianca's frowned deepened

"Before doing what?"

Heath blew out a breath and, Brax, cocked an eyebrow knowing what his younger brother was about to do. He had spoken to him about it a few weeks back but this wasn't what Heath had said he had planned

Heath cleared his throat and blew out a breath. He stared down at Bianca, his grip on her hand tightening slightly "I err…" he paused "I'm no good at this whole saying how you feel business, you know that. But…" he looked down at her hand that were encased in his "I love you, I know that and I'm not planning to ever stop. So…"

Bianca lay wide eyed as she realised what Heath was about to do. She felt her heart beating frantically against her chest, as she watched him. She felt Heath's hand shaking in hers and gave it a light squeeze

Heath blew out another breath "Look I know you could do so much better than me, but if you say yes I will do everything possible to be the kind of man you deserve to be with. I won't screw this up, I promise. Doing this in a hospital probably isn't how you imagined it but… "

"Heath" Bianca called, her eyes already glazed with unshed tears "Will you please just ask me the question?"

Charlie sat beside Brax, wide eyed unable to take her eyes off what was unfolding before her

Heath nodded and as if only just thinking to do so, he bent down on one knee. Bianca chuckled and sat up leaning over the bed so she had a clear view of him

"Bianca Rae Scott, will you marry me?" Heath held his breath and almost missed it as Bianca nodded her head

"Of course I will you knuckled head" she chuckled loudly as Heath stood to his feet, his eyes burning into her as if shocked she had said yes "I will most definitely marry you"

Heath chuckled "Yea?" his smiled wide

Bianca nodded her head "Yea. And you're wrong about me doing better than you. You're the best possible man for me"

Heath bent down, crushing his lips to hers

"Awww, guys" Charlie fought the urge to bounce and squeal as she remained mindful of Theo in her arms. She blinked her now glazed over vision away as Heath and Bianca pulled apart

"Congratulations" Brax smiled walking over to Heath and giving him a hug, before bending down and placing a kiss on Bianca cheek

"Congratulations guys" said Charlie not yet willing to hand Theo over

Heath smiled broadly and then looked back down at Bianca "I errr… already have a ring but I haven't got it with me. Hadn't planned it this way"

Bianca shook her head "Ring doesn't matter. And this way was perfect" she looked down at Theo, who lay contently in Charlie's arms

"Can't believe Heath now as two kids" said Brax as he walked into the kitchen, Charlie settling on the sofa "Darcy will love having a younger brother"

Charlie smiled "It must be hard for him not seeing Darcy as often as he would like"

Brax walked out of the kitchen, a glass of wine in one hand and beer in the other

"Yea. Connie moving them to the other side of the country wasn't really ideal for Heath, but Darcy loves him to bits regardless"

Charlie nodded as Brax gave her the glass of wine. She took it from him but placed it down on the coffee table. Brax cocked an eyebrow

"You not drinking?" he downed a little of his beer, watching Charlie as she bit into the corner of her lips

Charlie shook her head "I can't"

Brax frowned as he placed his beer down on the coffee table "You can't or you don't want to"

Charlie placed her legs on his lap and ran her tongue along her bottom lip "Can't" she had been on her way to the restaurant to tell him earlier that day but then Heath had called saying Bianca was in hospital

"You know how I haven't been feeling too well lately?"

Brax nodded "I thought the bug had gone"

Charlie chuckled nervously "It wasn't a bug"

The frown on Brax's face deepened and she could see worry settle in his eyes.

"Oh Brax no" she shook her head "It's nothing bad at least I don't think it is"

"Not Cancer?" said Brax, blowing out a breath

Charlie cocked her head, feeling bad for not realising that was the first place his mind would go "No not cancer. But I will be throwing up a lot for the next few months"

"Why would you…" Brax stopped, his eyes widening. His gaze flickered down to Charlie's stomach before coming back to her face "Am I misunderstanding you or are you…" his gaze flickered back down to her stomach

Charlie took his hand in hers, and placed it over her stomach "I was coming to tell you this morning, but well, we got a little side tracked with the whole Bianca giving birth thing. But I'm pregnant, Brax" she peered at him trying to read his reaction "We're gonna have a baby"

Brax gawked at his hand that lay on her stomach. It seemed like hours to Charlie, before his gaze moved back up to her face

"We're having a baby" he spoke slowly and before Charlie could responded, a smile spread across Brax's face, as he blinked "A baby" he chuckled as if not quiet believing what she had said

Charlie smiled "Yea, a baby"

Brax nodded; his smile still wide and Charlie squealed as he pulled her onto his lap, so she was straddling him His lips instantly found hers in a deep, heart shattering kiss. Pulling back, Brax chuckled

"I love you so much"

Charlie smiled back at him "I love you too" she said and Brax pulled her back in for another kiss. She realised his hand was still lay flat on her stomach and she smiled into the kiss

Seven months later

Ruby sat down next to Charlie and smiled at the look on Charlie's face. "I'm kinda starting to see why Brax spends so much time down at the restaurant" Charlie turned and frowned at Ruby and Ruby chuckled "Me and Case have only been here over an hour and in that time you have cried twice, and shouted at something or someone at least four times"

Charlie huffed out a breath "I was only shouting because there was no more ice cream and Brax knows how much I crave ice cream"

Ruby nodded "Yeah but it might be a good idea to at least tell him you've finished all the tubes he brought so he knows to buy you some more"

Charlie sighed and rubbed her belly "I know I'm being a bitch but I can't help it. Baby is driving me crazy. She never settles during the night. Seems to think night time is play time. And then Brax will be having a great night's sleep while I toss and turn" Ruby chuckled and Charlie nudged her "It's not funny and don't even get me started on my bladder. I swear she thinking it's a fair ground in there" Charlie rolled her eyes "Using my bladder as some kinda squeeze toy or trampoline"

"That's hardly Brax's fault though" said Ruby as she leaned over and picked a strawberry from Charlie's bowl

"Yes it is. He's the one who got me pregnant" she scowled and Ruby laughed loudly

"Yea, and you had no say in it whatsoever" Ruby grinned

Charlie swatted Ruby lightly on the arm, before she exhaled "He has been really patient with me though" she smiled lightly

"Please just be thankful it's Brax. You scared Casey off within a few minutes" Ruby laughed and Charlie joined in

"He did seem to sprint out that door" said Charlie just as said door opened up and Brax walked in with two bags full of groceries

"What's all this?" asked Charlie, she smiled at Casey as he walked in behind Brax

"Just brought a few things" replied Brax placing a kiss on Charlie's temple before walking into the kitchen. Charlie slowly stood and cussed under her breath as Ruby had to help her the rest of the way up

"This child is seriously cramping my style" she muttered and Ruby laughed

Entering the kitchen, just as Casey walked out, Charlie looked to Brax and smiled as she saw him putting a tub of Ben n Jerry's ice cream into the freezer. Looking into the bag, she also saw, a couple jars of peanut butter, jalapenos, pickles, marmite and some cheese. all the things she tended to crave for. She looked over at Brax, who was still stocking up the fridge and freezer, before stepping to him

"Hey" she said and Brax turned around giving her a smile

"Hey" he replied, his smile widening as Charlie wrapped her arms around him, getting as close as her big bump would allow

"I'm sorry for the shouting before, and the crying and just my general craziness" Brax chuckled at her words "I may not have shown it much these past few months between all my mood swings but I do appreciate that you're patient with me" she smiled as Brax ran his hands up her arm "And I love that you rub my back and feet for me, even when I dont ask and that you put up with all my crazy cravings"

Brax gave her half a grin before placing a light kiss on her forehead "You don't have to thank me" he replied "Although maybe less of the marmite with pickles and ice cream" Brax screwed his face up and Charlie chuckled

"It's not my fault. It's your daughter's weird taste" said Charlie. She smiled lightly before her face pinched and she let out a sigh "And she's playing with my bladder again" She moved away from Brax and walked out of the kitchen

"I'm gonna be having a serious word with this kid when she gets here. She needs to know mummy's things are not for playing with" Charlie tried to sound stern but the smile in her voice could be heard by the rest

Brax walked into the living room and shook his head at Casey "I still can't believe you ran scared of, Charlie"

Casey cocked an eyebrow "Not Charlie, pregnant Charlie. There is a definite difference between the two"

"I heard that" Charlie shouted down the hall and Ruby and Brax laughed

Three weeks later

"Right I think we've got everything" Brax's gaze shifted around the room lightly, as Charlie sat on the edge of the bed, amused by him. Brax nodded "Yea, ok" he swallowed loudly "We're good to go" picking up Charlie's bag from the bed; he glanced around the room once more before making his way out of the room

Charlie chuckled, and waited for him to realise he had forgotten something, or someone. No longer than a few seconds, Brax paced back into the room

"Crap" he walked over to her "Sorry" slowly helping her up from the bed, Charlie could practically feel his heart rate going a mile a minute. She rolled her eyes, anyone would think he was the one who had gone into labour and would pretty soon be pushing a watermelon sized baby out of a hole the size of a peanut

"Babe" she stopped and put her hand on his arm

"Ummm" Brax looked at her wide eyed and Charlie had to fight to keep from laughing out loud

"Deep breaths" she said and Brax's gaze softened

"We're having a baby" he chuckled and Charlie realised that his nervousness had actually been due to his excitement. Her smile matched his as she nodded

"We're having a baby"

10 hours later

Brax winced as Charlie, squeezed the ever loving life out of his already crippled hand. He was sure all function had been forever disabled in his left hand. Good think he was right handed, he thought to himself. But as Charlie pushed again and applied more pressure onto his hand, his focus was brought back to what was happening in the room

Charlie sagged back against the bed. She had no more energy left "Why won't she come out?" she cried. It may have been a long time ago but she hadn't remembered it being this hard with Ruby "I'm tired" she let out a breath, just wanting to go to sleep

She felt Brax's hand graze her forehead, brushing away the hair sticking to her now sweaty face. At first the action had been endearing but now ten hours into it, she wanted to simply scream

"You're doing great, baby" said Brax "We're nearly there"

Charlie turned to him, glaring daggers at him that would have had any normal man backing away into a faraway corner "I swear Brax, if you say we're nearly there one more time, or come on baby just push, I will wring your balls dry" she blew out a deep breath "Got it?"

The midwife chuckle under her breath as Brax nodded

Got it babe" he leaned in as if unaffected by her words and placed a kiss on her forehead "How about I just tell you how much I love you" he murmured and Charlie felt to cry because she had just been so horrible to him. As another contraction hit her face contorted and she squeezed on his hand again

"Just one big push" said the midwife and Charlie was about to tell her where to stick her words before the urge to push became too strong

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh" she creamed, her chin ducked into her chest

"One more now Charlie, one last big push"

Charlie shook her head, tears springing to the forefront of her eyes "I can't"

Brax held her hand tightly "Hey" he tilted her chin up till she was looking at him "You can" he nodded "I'm right here with you, Just one more big push and our little girl will be here"

Charlie looked at him, and nodded just before she pushed her chin back into her chest and gave another push. Sagging back against the bed, the tears that had sprung to her eyes now leaked over onto her cheeks, and as she heard the cry of her daughter, her tears intensified. She sat mesmerized as Brax came back into focus, this time with a small bundle in his arms. She looked up at him to see his eyes had glazed over

Forgetting the pain of the past 10 hours Charlie looked on in awe as Brax looked from her, to their daughter "I think someone wants to say hi to you" said Brax as he slowly lowered their daughter into Charlie's arms

Charlie choked on her tears and smiled so board she felt her face would forever stay frozen that way

"Hey" she pursed her lips, her daughter lay, eyes closed; her light brown hair sticking to her head "We've waited so long to meet you" she bent and placed a kiss on her daughter's head. Looking up at Brax, Charlie chuckled just as Brax placed a heavy kiss on her lips

Looking back down at their daughter Charlie ran the back of her finger's over her cheek "Welcome to the world Mia Elise Braxton" she bent and placed a soft kiss on her daughter's forehead

Brax looked up at her "So we're going with Mia" he had been pitching said name since they found out they were having a girl

Charlie nodded "Yeah, she looks like a Mia"

Brax smiled down at his wife and child "I love you so much" he said before placing a kiss on Charlie's temple "And you too" he smiled down at Mia. Looking up at the door he chuckled "I best go let the rest know what's going on. Ruby will be climbing the walls by now"

Charlie nodded

Ruby shot to her feet, and practically ran into Brax. Casey, Heath and Bianca chuckled but looked at Brax expectantly "Has she had the baby? Has she?" Brax chuckled as Ruby bounced from one foot to the other. He nodded

"Yeah she has. You can come in and see her" said Brax and Ruby practically ran past him

"I'm a sister" she sang and Brax and the rest laughed as Heath and Casey, gave Brax a pat on the pack

"Congratulations Mate"

Brax's smiles was wide "Thanks"

"I see I've been pushed aside for your new favourite girl" said Charlie. She was leaning against the door, watching Brax, rock Mia back and forth. They had been home from the hospital a full week now and Mia was now nine days old

Brax looked up from Mia, to Charlie, his smile not moving "She was squirming and I didn't want her waking you up"

Charlie nodded as she walked into the room and stopped next to Brax "She looks like she's fast asleep now"

Brax nodded "Yea" he gave a boyish grin "She just kinda looked too cute in my arms"

Charlie chuckled lightly "That she does" bending down to Mia's level, she ran her hand threw her daughter's slick hair "I think she was just trying to get her daddies attention" she lightly stroked Mia's cheek

Brax smiled "Should probably put her back in her cot" he spoke

Charlie shook her head "Let's just stay like this a little longer" she leaned up and gave Brax a kiss before looking back down at thier daughter, sleeping without a stir in her father's arms

Three years later

"Theo, wait for your dad" shouted Bianca. She groaned as Theo stopped just short of the water

"Daddy be quick" shouted Theo, his boogie board in hand

Heath laughed "Coming Buddy" he dropped his towel to the floor, placed a quick kiss on Bianca's lips and ran to meet up with his son

Bianca rolled her eyes "I swear whenever those two see the ocean, they forget all about me"

Charlie laughed and slowly lowered herself onto the sand "At least they pay you some attention when they are at home. Mia practically forgets I'm around whenever Brax walks into the room" Bianca chuckled and Charlie sighed "I've never seen anyone so wrapped around a child's finger in all my life. Those big green eyes of hers and dimples don't help much either"

"Daddy stop" Mia giggled and Charlie turned around to see Mia on Brax's shoulder's as they walked down the beach. She smiled at the sight of them before turning to Bianca "Still, I wouldn't change her for the world"

"I know" said Bianca. She smiled as she heard a little giggle and turned to see Casey and Ruby walking behind Brax with Isabelle with them. "Speaking of little children and their father's, I don't think you've seen Belle in action with Heath. How a nineteen month old girl can be so persuading is beyond me. All she does is smile at him and the poor fool is giving her whatever she wants"

Charlie laughed just as Brax reached them "Hy babe" he placed Mia down on the sand before bending down and placing a kiss on Charlie's lips

"How bout me daddy?" Mia pouted and Charlie rolled her eyes

Brax chuckled before giving Mia a kiss "Better?" he asked and Mia nodded, her curls falling over her hair band

"Mummy"

Bianca looked up and smiled as Bella wiggled out of Ruby's arms

"Hy sweetie" she smiled pulling Bella onto her lap before placing a kiss on her cheek "You miss mummy?" she asked and Bella smiled sweetly before looking down the beach

"Daddy" she squealed excitedly, pointing at Heath. Bianca sighed

"We carry them for nine long months then go through the trauma of labour and yet they favour their fathers" Ruby, Casey and Charlie laughed and Brax gave a wink

"It's just us Braxton men" he grinned and looked at Mia as she tugged on his shirt "Yea sweetie?"

"I wanna go too" she pointed down at Heath and Theo

"Actually we're gonna head in as well" said Casey as he and Ruby dropped their towels and Mia's boogie board before heading down the beach, surf boards in hand

Brax looked at Charlie and Charlie sighed "Fine. But not too deep" she said "And you…"she pointed at Mia "Stay with daddy at all times, ok"

"OK" said Mia sweetly. She gave Charlie a quick hug before standing to her feet and dragging her boogie board up

Brax smiled and placed another kiss on Charles's lips "See you in a bit" he smiled and placed another kiss on her seven month bump "and you"

Charlie smiled and watched as Brax picked his surf board up, helping Mia with her's before racing her down the beach. She had always imagined what her life would turn out to be like, but as she looked down at her family laughing and enjoying themselves, she realised no dream she had ever had, compared to this


And... it has officially ended. Really hope you guys enjoyed that last Chapter :D
