After finding it too awkward being around Bianca, Heath had stayed at the Braxton's household, using the excuse it was to look out for Kyle. Ricky had told him to talk to her before being interrupted by Emilia waking up which pleased Heath as he didn't want to talk about it. Then Kyle came out and he was glad with the distraction.

"I think this is the quietest I've ever heard this house." Heath comments.

"Yeah, it's normally quieter but there was a steam train on the couch." Casey laughs, fist bumping Kyle.

"And what's that meant to mean?" Heath asks, staring hard at his brother.

"You snore so loud!" Kyle says.

"I do not snore!" Heath moans as Ricky walks in.

"You do snore, very loud." Ricky nods.

"No need to gang up on me." Heath mutters. "Case, go and cover my shift, I've got stuff to do."

"I've got my own shift to do!" Casey says.

"Well now you've got mine as well." Heath shrugs. "And I looked at what we have on today and it's just a boxing session, so you'll be fine without me."

"You owe me." Casey says, shaking his head as he walks out.

"Is Denny not home?" Ricky asks.

"She had to open up this morning, so left earlier." Kyle replies as he pours out some dog food for Bruno, placing it on the floor for him before grabbing a jar from the side, handing it over to Heath. "Here, you can make yourself useful by giving Lillie her breakfast."

"Since when were you so bossy?" Heath says, putting Lillie's bib around her neck.

"I'm not bossy." Kyle frowns, just as someone walks through the door. "Brax, you're back."

"Yeah, stopped off to check on Angelo's first, but I'm back now." He says.

"Where have you been?" Ricky asks. "I've been worried sick after you weren't answering your phone."

"Sorry, I just had something to sort out." Brax says to her.

"Like what?" Ricky asks.

"Nothing." Brax shrugs.

"Tell me right now!" Ricky firmly says. "We've got a daughter, Brax, I need to know if police are going to be rocking up at some point arresting you." She says, as Brax leans down to whisper something in her ear. "Oh, I'm sorry." She mutters.

"Everything's fine. You don't need to worry." Brax says, kissing her forehead.

"I was about to bath Emilia." Ricky says. "Let's catch up afterwards." She lightly smiles, walking into the flat as Heath hands the jar of baby food over to Kyle before pulling Brax into the hallway.

"What's going on?" Heath asks as they walk into Kyle's room, shutting the door behind them. "You've been gone for days."

"It's sorted, okay? Police won't trace nothing back to you." Brax quietly says, not wanting anyone to overhear them.

"How did you sort it? I need to know."

"I lent a boat from a River Boy and took it out for about a day before making sure nothing would be seen. Nothing will ever come up if the police did a dive, it's too deep." Brax says.

"You think it's going to be that simple? They're not stupid if they think they've got a lead." Heath hisses.

"I'm not stupid, Heath." Brax hisses back.

"Well I'm sorry if I don't want to be caught for this." Heath glares.

"You're not going to be caught. It was practically the middle of the sea, it took a couple hours before land was visible from where I did it." Brax says. "How's Kyle been doing?"

"Took him to clear his head as he wasn't able to hold Lillie without her screaming the house down. Once we got back, he spent some time with her and it worked. After me and Kyle were talking for a bit, she must have recognised his voice. And Kyle knows by the way, he was thankful I did it."

"Why have you involved Kyle?" Brax moans.

"He knew I was lying about where you were. I didn't want him to start worrying when the police tell him they can't find Jasmine!" Heath retorts.

"So now he has to lie to them instead!" Brax shakes his head. "No one else is to be told, or you'll be wishing the police did catch you by the time I've finished with you." He warns, Heath quickly nodding.

"I won't tell anyone else. But Kyle deserved to know and he's promised not to tell anyone." Heath says before thinking to himself. "Wait, what about her passport and ticket?"

"Dumped them near that small airport up the coast. I've never seen any cameras there, so thought it would make sense. It's only a matter of time before someone finds it, and it's only got her DNA on it, you're in the clear." Brax says.

"But I touched it after her, so did you." Heath frowns.

"I have my ways, just don't worry about it now. We've got this trial to focus on now, and it's coming quick."

"Kyle said he's going to talk, to make sure Ryan goes away for a long time. He might want to talk to you about it first. He looked so nervous when he said it. I don't think he's going to be ready to talk in front of a whole court, especially when they'll bring the clinic into it." Heath says.

"He's not going to talk about it easily, but it will help the case. We'll just have to make sure Ryan's lawyer doesn't push him over the edge." Brax says.

"It's going to be hard. We don't know who his lawyer is or what they'll be asking. Kyle needs to be prepared for anything. One thing for sure is that they'll try and get into his head, make him mess up." Heath says as they walk back out into the living room, seeing Bianca standing by the door. "Oh no." He mutters.

"What?" Brax frowns.

"I slept here on the couch last night. We're in a bad place." Heath quietly says.

"Hey." She lightly smiles as she noticed them.

"Hi." Heath says.

"Could we talk?" She asks.

"Sure." Heath lightly nods as they walk out into the garden. "What did you want to talk about?"

"I need you." Bianca honestly says. "When you slept here last night, I felt so alone and I couldn't do it. I need you, Heath, and I don't want to lose you because of the arguments we've been having. I've just been dealing with my own things and I took it out on you and I shouldn't have."

"Are you okay?" Heath frowns.

"Yeah, it's just everything that's been going on here. I was angry you kept putting this family first, ignoring my doubts, especially after Lillie went missing. No one was sure who did it and their were questions about whether it was someone from your past, and I just didn't want it to happen again." Bianca explains. "It was wrong, I knew that when no one suspected them because they didn't leave a ransom note. Anyway, I just want you to know that I love you, and I love your family. You come as a package with your brothers, so I'm sorry for saying we need to think about our marriage if you wanted to stay here. We're staying here near your brothers because you need them."

"You mean that?" Heath asks, getting a nod in reply.

"I love you."

"I love you." Heath smiles, pulling her into a hug. "I'm sorry things have been rough between us, I promise it's going to change now."

"I know it will." Bianca says, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Things are getting better now and Kyle's doing great. How about we take a few days out, just us two? I'm sure the kids would be alright here." Heath suggests as they pull away.

"That would be nice." Bianca smiles, leaning in to kiss him.
