"Well he's also doctor, a surgeon actually and his name is Simon" Becca started to tell Heath about her fiancé, she told him about how they met and what interests they share. The more Heath heard about this guy the more he realised he was out of his depth. Becca was no longer in his league and if he was honest she never was in the first place.

After a few hours of chatting and laughing Heath eventually left Becca alone, she was relieved he had gone. Not because she didn't want him there but more because she was worried about how badly she wanted him to stay.

When Heath had gone Becca sat on the couch and went over everything in her head, as she continued to think she just kept coming back to the same thing, the accident. Becca thought about how devastated she and Heath were when they lost their little baby girl Isla Grace Braxton.

Becca also thought back to what happened six months later.

Flashback

It was early one morning when Becca called round at Cheryl's house Heath had gone surfing with Brax and some of the other boys "Hey baby girl what's up?" Cheryl asked as she sat next to Becca at the kitchen table.

"I'm pregnant" Becca replied bluntly, Cheryl just stared blankly for a few moments

"Ok how pregnant?" Cheryl wondered

"6 weeks…I don't know what to do?" Becca cried she felt Cheryl's arms wrap around her instantly.

"Its ok we can work this out" Cheryl soothed as she held Becca tightly.

Later that night after tea Heath had stormed off upstairs in one of his usual drunken states after hurling a load of abuse at his mum, Becca followed Heath upstairs to confront him about his outburst and also to question him about the fact their savings account was empty.

"So where is the money Heath?" Becca yelled as she followed Heath out of their bedroom and into the hall way. Heath just shrugged.

"It's gone, it's all gone" Heath replied smugly, Becca was furious she had worked all the hours god sent to save that money. She had no choice after Heath had quit his job and spent most of his time at the pub or in the bookies.

"You're not even sorry are you" Becca yelled "I can't believe I wasted my time on a low life like you, I could have been at Uni now studying medicine but no I'm stuck here with a pathetic drunk"

Heath retaliated by moving towards her fiercely "Take that back you bitch" Heath yelled. Becca just shook her head.

"No I meant every word of it. You know what I'm glad Isla didn't make it, just think what a disappointment you would have been as a father" Becca didn't mean to be so harsh but she was so angry with Heath.

Heath reacted in a way Becca did not expect he moved forwards her making her edge backwards towards the top of the stairs, suddenly Heath raised his hand up causing Becca to move away quickly. As she stepped backwards she slipped and tumbled down the stairs. Heath realised what he had done as soon as he saw Becca fall backwards.

As Becca rolled down the stairs Heath ran after her, he hit the floor when she did "Bex" he cried as he tried to wake her.

Brax, Cheryl and Casey rushed to the bottom of the stairs to see Heath sat on the floor with Becca's head in his lap "Becca I'm so sorry, baby I'm sorry. I love you so much baby I'm so sorry" Heath kept repeating over and over again.

"Oh my god what happened? Heath what did you do?" Cheryl screeched, Brax had gone to call for an ambulance.

It was around 5 minutes later when the ambulance crew arrived, they started working on Becca straight away, and although she was unconscious Becca was still breathing "What happened?" Asked the paramedic as he attached a blood pressure monitor to Becca's arm. Brax, Cheryl and Casey all looked at Heath.

"Er...she just slipped and she fell" Heath was still in shock.

"Right ok, is there anything we need to be made aware of any medical conditions that could cause complications?" The paramedic asked Heath.

"Er…Yeh she had a caesarean about six months ago" Heath replied blankly.

"Is that everything?" The paramedic turned you Brax and Cheryl now.

"Yeh" Heath nodded.

"No" Cheryl interrupted "She's six weeks pregnant"

Heath slid down the door as his mum said the words, what had he done.

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

After a long wait at the hospital Becca finally woke up, she had made it clear she didn't want Heath any where near her. Cheryl had stayed with her the whole time, she was desperate to know what had happened. Cheryl was horrified as Becca explained what Heath did and why she fell.

End of Flashback

Becca's eyes were now full of tears as she thought back to what happened that dayshe couldn't believe what Heath had done. But she was more shocked by the next decision she made, the decision that no-one else knew about, no-one that is except Cheryl.

Another Flashback (The secret Cheryl knows is revealed in this one)

A doctor came into the room and did an ultrasound confirming that Becca was still pregnant. Unfortunately Becca couldn't decide if she was happy about the news or not.

After what had happened earlier with Heath and all his recent behaviour Becca wasn't sure if she still had a future with Heath, never mind if she wanted to bring his child into the world. Cheryl could see the anguish in Becca's eyes, she reached over and took hold of her hand gently.

"Listen as much as I love my boy, you need to get yourself outta there" Cheryl advised, Becca was stunned that her mother-in-law could even suggest this.

"What about the baby?" Becca wondered

"That all depends on you, I know it's a hard choice to make but I think you need to draw a line under you and Heath. He is on a mission to self destruct and if you don't get out now he will drag you down with him. I know I am his mum, but I can't sit around and wait for that to happen. You deserve better than this" Cheryl explained.

"Heath would never understand if I had an abortion" Becca reminded Cheryl who just frowned.

"Then we don't tell him this stays between us, we'll tell him you lost the baby. Hopefully this will be the wake up cal he needs to sort himself out" Cheryl squeezed Becca's hand tightly "Listen whatever you decide I will always support you"

End of flashback.

Becca could feel the tears trickle own her face as she thought back to the abortion and the note she left for Heath telling him she was moving away to be closer to her parents.

Becca had regretted a few things in her life, but the main thing she regretted more than anything else was giving up on her marriage. She knew she would never love anybody the same way she loved Heath.

Simon was a kind and caring guy who worshiped the ground Becca walked on, and although he could give her the life she deserved. Something suddenly dawned on Becca, while she was telling Heath all about this guy who wanted to marry her; she failed to mention one detail, one tiny detail that would change everything. Becca didn't love Simon…

Rebecca Annaleese Braxton was still very much in love with her current husband, it wasn't until she had actually sat down and spoke to Heath that she realised this…

Please let me know what you think about this chapter. I promise it will get more interesting as things start to unravel. Becca's fiancé will be introduced in my next chapter and lets just say Simon Taylor isn't as nice as he seems.

Thank you for all of your reviews and adds. They mean a lot.
