"I know I haven't been back very long, but could I come back to work soon?" Kyle asks as Brax sorts through some of the paperwork for deliveries and orders.

"Kyle, you've barely been home a week. Why don't you wait a little longer?" Brax suggests.

"I don't want to be sat at home doing nothing any longer. Even if I just stayed in here to sort stuff out, that would be fine. I just need some more normality back and I think this is what I need." Kyle says, lightly smirking. "It would mean you get more time with Emilia, and I get Bruno used to this place. It would be a win-win for all of us."

"You've got this worked out, haven't you?" Brax laughs, Kyle nodding with a smile.

"It wouldn't take me too long getting back into the swing of things, I'm sure it hasn't changed too much." Kyle says.

"No, it hasn't. I can run you through things properly in a couple days when I've got things sorted out myself." Brax says.

"Okay." Kyle nods, swivelling from side to side in the desk chair. "What is all this mess anyway?"

"Order notes and the suppliers old stock list. They changed their batch products a few weeks ago, so some of this isn't needed anymore." Brax says as he moves some files to the side. "I'm thinking about changing suppliers, but I haven't found anyone else yet."

"Why don't I look for one while you sort through all this?" Kyle suggests.

"Sure, you'll probably be better at it." Brax smiles, grabbing the laptop from behind him to hand over to Kyle. "Just remember to keep it fairly local as some have warehouses in the city, which adds expenses."

"Okay, where would I find that out?" Kyle asks as he logs on to the laptop.

"It's usually on the page for companies but each one is different. You should find it fairly easily." Brax says as Kyle nods, glad he could be of some help.


"Oi Kylie, go get me another beer." Heath says, keeping his eyes glued to the TV screen.

"Get your own beer! Don't see why I should get you one when I'm not even drinking." Kyle moans.

"Not my fault you're t-total." Heath says.

"And he'll be staying t-total as a joint decision from him and his counsellors." Brax firmly says, glaring at his brother.

"Yeah, good on you mate." Heath quickly says to Kyle, knowing it was the best thing for him in the circumstances. "But it doesn't mean you're banned from getting me one."

"Nah, but I can ban myself from being your personal slave."

"It's not like you're even paying attention to the game, so what's stopping you?"

"I injured my arm and the doc said I shouldn't over-exert myself." Kyle smirks, holding his right arm.

"The arm that fully healed with physio weeks ago." Heath mutters.

"I'll get some." Brax shakes his head, standing up and walking to the fridge to see they had drank them all. "There's none left, you'll just have to go without." He says as he walks back to the couch as Heath starts to moan even more.

"Heath, can you stop so we can watch the game in peace? You're the one who drank most of the beer anyway." Casey says, holding up his bottle, which was still his first.

"Cause Bianca doesn't allow alcohol in the house now the kids are more bigger. Harley's favourite thing to do is pull the cupboards apart." Heath says. "That means the only time I can have a beer is over here, or at Angelo's. Now let's just get back to the game." He says, finally sitting in silence.

Sitting through the next hour in nearly complete silence, they noticed it was going to all end soon as the gap between the scores widened. Nearly the end of the game, Heath started shouting at the screen more and Casey even moved Heath's phone and the remote from reach so he wouldn't throw them at the TV.

"That's got to be the worst game they've placed all season!" Heath shouts.

"Told you Sydney wouldn't win against Adelaide." Kyle lightly smirks, getting a glare in response.

"That's not funny." Heath shakes his head.

"No but seeing Sydney lose after you swore blind they would win is the funniest." Kyle grins as Casey laughs.

"Alright, shut up!" Heath huffs.

"All of you shut up." Brax shakes his head, getting smiles from two of his brothers.

"Anyway, I'm going to head to bed as I've got work in the morning. Night." Casey smiles as he heads towards the hallway.

"Night."

"I should head home. Should I tell Ricky it's safe to come home now?" Heath asks with a smirk.

"Yes!" Brax nods before turning to Kyle as Heath leaves. "So, you doing good?"

"Yeah, this felt normal which is what I needed." Kyle nods. "Although I nearly forgot how angry Heath gets when Sydney loses a big game." He scoffs.

"So had I." Brax lightly frowns. "Least nothing was thrown this time."

"Yeah, that's a bonus for him. But honestly, I'm going to be okay now. I feel a lot better and I think I just need to go back to normal again, which they are near enough."

"You're not finding it tough?"

"No, well not really. It's always going to be tough in some ways, but I've got to live with that now. It's how I deal with it which is going to get me through and my counsellors gave me plenty, so I've always got different ways to cope." Kyle says.

"I'm glad they were able to get through to you, cause we need you."

"I know. You don't need to worry about me any more, I'm in a much better head space and I've got a purpose in life now." Kyle smiles as Ricky walks in with Emilia and Denny.

"Hey." She smiles.

"Casey gone to bed already?" Denny asks.

"Yeah." Brax nods.

"Okay." She grins, starting to walk towards the hallway.

"Can you keep the noise down tonight?" Kyle calls after her. "I don't want to hear you at it all night again!" He says, getting a laugh in reply.

"They're just having fun." Ricky smiles as she joins them on the couch.

"Well they can 'just have fun' when I'm not trying to sleep. Before you know it, there will loads of mini Casey's running around." He cringes.

"We don't need that yet." Brax shakes his head. "They said they didn't want kids for a while anyway, so we don't need to worry about that."

"I didn't want kids yet and then Lillie turned up on the doorstep." Kyle says, knowing she was the best thing to come out of his relationship with Phoebe.

"Maybe it was fate." Ricky says, not really having thought about it first.

"Yeah, must've been." Kyle lightly smiles as he watches Ricky hand Emilia over to Brax for a cuddle. "Lillie wasn't the only baby that was fate."

"Yeah, isn't she great?" Ricky smiles.

"Do you recon you'd try again in the future?"

"Maybe." Brax says as he glances at Ricky who nods in agreement. "I'd like a son, but it doesn't matter either way."

"I think Emilia would be a great big sister. We'd have to wait a while though, it's hard enough with one baby, let alone another one!" Ricky scoffs. "And age gaps aren't that bad, just look at you two."

"You don't want to leave too big a gap though, the old man might not be able to do it soon." Kyle smirks, getting a glare from his eldest brother.

"10 years." Brax mutters.

"Exactly, 10 years. That's a whole decade!" Kyle smiles.

"Are you calling me old as well, Kyle?" Ricky raises an eyebrow.

"No!" Kyle quickly says. "Of course not, you're not old old. But older than me."

"I'd stop talking if I was you." She shakes her head with a smirk.

"Okay, I can do that." Kyle grins.
