Hello Author here, thank you again for sticking with the fanfic and reviewing. To answer the Guest review who complained about no Braxtons and no Kyle who are main characters and you don't care about the rest because you didn't watch them, all i have to say is i based this fanfic on certain episodes from 2006 when the Braxtons, Ricky, Bianca, April, Xavier, Ruby, Rocco, Johnny, Aden, Colby, Dean and Willow weren't part of the show.

The certain episodes were surrounding Jack and Martha's first wedding and i replaced them with Heath and Bianca so i'm fitting in everyone else around what also happens to the characters i have not listed here who were originally on the show at the time. I did this as i wanted to keep to the show as best as possible. If you don't like that then that's ok but there will be people who used to watch the show then who might actually be happy about having them involved like myself.

Anyway, now that explaination is over here is the next chapter.


Meanwhile…

Summer Bay – Yabbie Creek – Northern Districts Hospital – Kyle's Room

After Belle had left earlier, Kyle had been continuing to hide the pain he was in from his family: "So are you staying here or going home tonight?"

"Want rid of us already Kyle?" Ricky joked causing them all to laugh.

"No, just I mean you all look exhausted." Kyle told them just as Casey yawned "See, its only 7:36pm and Casey is already yawning."

"Don't bring me into this." Casey quickly said not wanting to get brought up into a potential argument.

Listening to Kyle, Brax knew he was right that they all needed some sleep but he didn't want to leave him alone not after he had just woken up: "I think I'm going to stay and these two can go home."

"You honestly don't need to Brax, if anything happens to me Heath will be here."

"Heath is staying with his wife."

"Yeah, and if anything happens at least there is two family members, granted one is a patient, already here."

"Still, I would feel much better if I stayed here tonight." Brax said again.

Knowing that Brax wasn't going to take the hint, Kyle decided to be more blunt in what he said next: "Well, I don't want you to stay."

All three of them just looked at Kyle as he said that in shock.

"I'm serious, I want some time alone therefore you need you go home."

"Kyle, I just want to make sure you're ok." Brax told him.

"I'm fine for God sake!" Kyle raised his voice.

"Mate, I don't think you are."

Ricky thought it might be best to say something as she didn't want anything to happen to Kyle: "Brax maybe we should all go home and let Kyle rest."

"No Ricky, he doesn't get a say in the matter. As his legal guardian and next of kin, I will be staying here tonight."

"I don't want you to! Why can't you understand that?" Kyle asked his brother.

"That's enough Kyle."

"Leave Brax, I don't need you stay here."

"It doesn't matter if you need me to stay or not."

Casey looked at Ricky who just sighed as neither knew what they could do or say to change Brax's mind on the situation.

"I'm 17 years old Brax, I don't need a bloody babysitter." Kyle says starting to get worked up which in turn meant the pain was starting to make itself more know "Or did you forget that I got older while I was missing!"

"Of course, I didn't forget!" Brax said as he remembered the conversation him and Ricky had the night before his brother's birthday "I just want to be here in case anything else happens."

"Nothing else is goin going to happ happen." Kyle starts to stutter which they all notice.

"Brax, I think you need to calm down." Ricky stated as she noticed Kyle's heart rate starting to change on the machine.

"I am calm Ricky; I just need Kyle to realise that I'm staying whether he likes…" Brax doesn't get to finish as Kyle starts to scream in pain.

"AHHHHHH!" Kyle screams which causes Casey to run out the room in search of a doctor.

Summer Bay – Yabbie Creek – Northern Districts Hospital – Hallway Outside of Kyle's Room

Rushing out the room Casey instantly spots Sid walking towards the Nurse Station so he calls out to him: "Sid, something's wrong with Kyle."

Hearing his name being called, Sid turns around just as the alarm for Kyle's room starts to go off.

Running towards Kyle's room, Sid enters.

Summer Bay – Yabbie Creek – Northern Districts Hospital – Kyle's Room

Seeing his patient in distress, Sid demands: "What's going on?"

"One minute, I'm saying that I'll be staying here with him tonight then the next thing I know he's holding his side and screaming in pain." Brax quickly tells his friend.

Nodding his head, Sid says to Kyle: "Mate, can you tell me what's wrong?"

Through the pain, Kyle tries to speak: "My my side is kill killing me!"

"Kyle, I'm just going to feel your side." Sid informs him just as a nurse enters the room barging past a worried Ricky, Casey and Brax.

"AHHHH!" Kyle screams again as Sid presses on his side.

"Sid what's happening?" Brax demands to know with a hint of worry in his voice.

"I think his appendix might have ruptured."

"WHAT!" They all replied.

Casey quickly asked: "What could that mean for Kyle?"

"A number of things." Sid says then turns to Kyle "Mate, I know your pain but I need to know have you ever had your appendix removed?"

"No." Kyle says through gritted teeth.

"Nurse call the OR; tell them we have an emergency appendicitis coming up." Sid says just as two porters enter the room and start preparing the bed to move "Brax, I need your consent to operate."

"Do whatever you have to!" Brax says.

With that Kyle gets rushed out of the room leaving Ricky and the two remaining Braxtons standing there in shock.
