"Hey, Kyle. I've got something for you." Ricky grins as she walks over to him, Brax sitting on the couch next to Casey as he feeds Emilia with a bottle, knowing Ricky couldn't contain herself any longer.

"What is it?" Kyle asks, looking up from where he was sat on the table shuffling his breakfast around the plate.

"The photo album." Ricky says, handing it to him.

Kyle looks at the cover, a photo of his daughter in the centre with writing underneath, reading Lillie Braxton, a gorgeous daughter and niece. Tears sprung to his eyes as he looked through the pages. When Ricky mentioned making a photo album for him, he just never expected it to be so perfect. Every page was full of detail, some photos with writing so they'd always know why it photo was special. But Kyle didn't need writing or photos to know that his daughter was special, and he knew the whole family felt the same, even Casey who'd never met his niece in person.

"It's amazing." He mutters, wiping some tears away.

"You like it?" Ricky asks, not having known if she had done too much.

"Yeah, thank you." Kyle says as they hug.

"Let's have a look then." Casey lightly smiles as he walks over to the table, Ricky joining Brax on the couch, nestling into his arm as she smiles at Emilia. "She's so cute." He smiles, wishing he hadn't kept extending his travels, so he could have been here with them.

"Yeah." Kyle lightly smiles.

"How are you getting away with that one?" Casey scoffs, finding the one of Brax and Lillie.

"Ricky took it." Kyle smiles, glancing over at Brax, who shakes his head once he realises which photo they were looking at.

"Like I've told these two, that photo stays in the album and nowhere else." He says, knowing he wasn't going to live it down, especially since he hadn't fallen asleep looking after Emilia yet.

"I'm going for a walk." Kyle mutters, quickly heading out the door.

"What was that about?" Brax frowns, glancing at Casey who shrugs, also confused by it.

"You better go and see if he's okay." Ricky says, carefully taking Emilia from Brax before he rushes out after Kyle.

After not seeing Kyle from the beachfront, Brax tried Angelo's, also not having luck there. He went down to the gym, to see if Kyle had gone there, even though he knew it was likely to be a no considering the two middle Braxton's had been avoiding each other still.

"Heath, has Kyle been here?" He asks.

"Nope, why would he have?" Heath asks.

"He took off, but he didn't take his car with him. I can't find him anywhere." Brax says, not knowing where to look now.

"Have you tried Angelo's?"

"Yep, he hasn't been there according to Steph. I couldn't see him on the beach either."

"He can't have gone far without his car. Are you sure he didn't take his keys?" Heath asks.

"I'm sure, unless he had them in his pocket. I'll call Case and get him to check." Brax says, pulling out his phone as they walk out onto the beachfront.

Heath scanned the beach whilst Brax spoke to Casey, not seeing his brother either. Despite avoiding him, he still cared and wanted to help Kyle, he just didn't want it to be taken the wrong way and for Kyle to flip out at him again. Once Brax got off the phone, he look slightly relieved.

"Kyle didn't take his car keys, so Casey has taken them in case he goes back for them. That means he has to be around here somewhere." Brax says.

"I'm going to shut the gym up and help you look. I didn't have anymore classes to do, so it's no loss." Heath says, quickly running back inside whilst Brax tried phoning Kyle, not getting any luck.

"We'll try the pier side before heading back this way." Brax says once Heath joins him again.

"What made him leave this time?" Heath asks as they make their way towards the diner, keeping an eye out for their brother.

"I don't know, everything was fine. Ricky gave him the photo album she made, and he was looking through it with Casey. He loved it but maybe it was too much to take in right now." Brax sighs.

"I couldn't ever imagine going through that with Rocco, or Harley. But why him? They could have targeted me, and they didn't!" Heath sighs, not understanding. "Kyle has never had bad blood with anyone, it's always been us."

"But the police don't think it was done by someone we've had bad blood with, that's what I don't get. If it was, they would have made it known to us, not kept it a mystery like this." Brax says.

"Yeah, that's a point. But if it was just at Kyle, because of Lillie. Why? Why would they possibly take her from him when there was no reason to? He was a great dad, and went over the top looking after her. Social even said he was the best father figure for her when they did that assessment thing." Heath frowns.

"None of it makes sense. But what else can we do? The police have called off the search, there wasn't a single trace left for them to go on, so we wouldn't know where to look, and now I've got Emilia to look after. I can't have the same thing happen to her." Brax sighs.

"Surely they wouldn't strike twice?" Heath asks, glancing over at his brother, who shrugs.

"I'm not risking it. Whoever took Lillie knew what they were doing. And it could have been anyone, so I've got to be careful. I just don't know what I'm going to do when it comes to me and Rick going back to work. I've been thinking about asking her if we could be stay at home parents, for one of us to always be with Emilia, but I don't know how she'd react." Brax says, needing to keep his family safe.

"She's never been one to stay at home. Just look at when it came to getting her to go on maternity leave before Emilia arrived. But that's a good idea. Then she's always got someone familiar to look after her. If only Kyle had someone to help him, like we've had with the girls." Heath sighs. "Don't get me wrong, he's a great father, but he struggled, even with our help. I think if he had someone, it would have taken the stress off of him. I know the day she went missing, he was extremely stressed out."

"Yeah but that was my fault. Ricky had an appointment and I asked him to cover the meeting. Maybe if I gave him more notice, or had the meeting changed to another day, things might have been different."

"We'll never know if things would have changed. But like Kyle has told you, you can't blame yourself because he still had a shift to work. The meeting wouldn't have changed anything." Heath says as they reach the pier complex, heading inside the diner.

"Hey Irene, Kyle hasn't been in here this morning has he?" Brax asks.

"No, sorry darl, I've only just started my shift. Although I did see him walking down the beach before my shift started. He was heading the other way, towards the headland." Irene replies.

"The headland?" Heath frowns, glancing at Brax.

"Okay, thanks." Brax says before they rush back out.

"Why would he be there?" Heath asks.

"I don't know. He could just be clearing his head." Brax says, not wanting to think about the bad thoughts swirling his mind. "He goes for a few walks, that could be where he goes."

"Hopefully." Heath mutters. "Do you think it would be worth mentioning a therapist again?"

"No, not after he thought we were trying to get him put on a psych ward. He's been feeling better after talking to me, so I'm going to try and keep that up." Brax says, desperately trying to think of more ways to help his brother.
