While I was writing this chapter I was listening to my Ed Sheeran album. Kiss Me came on as I got half way through and as silly as it sounds I had to sit and listen to it because it actually reminded me of Brax and Leila. Please listen and let me know what you think.

Leila decided to go to the dance studio to take her mind off Geoffrey coming home. As she danced her troubles away she was unaware of a familiar figure stood near the door watching her. Brax had never seen a woman dance like this before he was stunned by how beautifully she moved around the floor.

Leila was too lost in her dancing to notice Brax stood watching her, it wasn't until the song had finished playing that he finally spoke "You're incredible" he grinned as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Why thank you very much Mr Braxton" Leila giggled as she reached up on her tip-toes to kiss him gently. Leila giggled between kisses as she felt Brax pull her closer, the kiss was now more passionate "Not here" she whispered as she continued to kiss Brax. He picked Leila up and carried her into the changing rooms. They had only just managed to make it through the door, before they started tugging at each others clothes. Brax kissed Leila passionately as he slammed her body against the wall. Leila's legs were now tightly wrapped around Brax's waist holding her in place, as she moved her hands down to his trousers.

As Brax and Leila got lost in a moment of passion they were shocked to be interrupted by a familiar voice "Hello darling" the voice called from the other room.

"Shit" Leila exclaimed as she struggled back to her feet. Brax quickly fastened his trousers as he watched Leila redress herself.

"Leila darling where are you?" the voice called again.

"Wait here" Leila whispered as she turned to walk away. Brax grabbed her arm quickly and pulled her back to him. He gently cupped her face in his hands.

"I'm right here, I'll always be right here" he whispered before kissing her temple. Leila had tears in her eyes as she nodded and headed out to the studio.

"There you are" Geoffrey smiled. As Leila walked towards him she felt sick. Geoffrey put his hands on her waist and kissed her. Leila kissed him back before pulling away.

"You're not due back until tonight" Leila smiled as she looked at him.

"Well we finished early so I decided to get an earlier flight. It's not a problem is it" Geoffrey wondered. "You're not hiding someone in the dressing room are you" he teased.

"No of course not silly" Leila grinned, little did Geoffrey realise he was spot on with his comment "Listen why don't you sit down and I'll go and get changed" Leila smiled as she walked as casually as possible into the dressing room. Geoffrey sat on the seat and waited for her.

-X-

"I can't do this" Leila gasped as she walked straight into Brax.

"Yes you can, look at me it's only for a few weeks then it will all be over. All you need to do is stay with him until the transfers are done then that's it" Brax had cupped Leila's face in his hands. Leila moved her hands so her's were now on top of his.

"I'm scared Brax" Leila had tears in her eyes.

"You've got nothing to be scared of I won't let him hurt you I promise" Brax hugged Leila before helping her get ready. Leila got changed into a pair of white linen mid-length shorts and a pink checked shirt. Brax gently kissed Leila on the end of the nose.

"Wait here until we have gone, here's the spare key lock up" Leila whispered as she grabbed her bag and headed out of the dressing room towards where Geoffrey was sat.

"Are you ready to go darling" Leila smiled as she stopped in front of her husband. Geoffrey smiled and took her by the hand and led her out of the building. Brax waited until he watched Geoffrey's car pull away before leaving the dance studio and locking up behind him.

As Brax got in his Ute he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket he took it out to read the message I'll text you when it's safe to meet, god I wish I was going home with you right now, LK x x. Brax smiled to himself as he read the message, before tapping at his screen to send a reply.

Soon DB x was all he had written. Leila grinned as she read the message "Do we have a visitor?" Geoffrey wondered as he pulled up in the drive way and spotted a strange car parked up.

"Oh yes Ashleigh has been staying with me, I was a little lonely after you left so I asked her to come and stay with me, it's not a problem is it?" Leila replied.

"Of course it's not a problem sweetheart" Geoffrey said as he got out of the car. Leila was praying Ashleigh didn't have Heath in the house, she had a feeling Geoffrey returning home and finding a River Boy in the house wouldn't go down to well. Luckily for Leila Ashleigh was alone when they returned home.

After dinner Leila and Geoffrey were sat in the garden with a glass of wine, Ashleigh had gone out with Heath "I hope you don't mind but I have arranged to go and see Mason in a while" Leila said as she took a sip from her wine glass.

"Of course not, I'll go and see Terry" Geoffrey replied "Did you want a lift?" Geoffrey asked curiously.

"Oh if you don't mind" Leila said as she kissed Geoffrey's cheek gently.

I'm going to see Mason, meet me there at 6pm, LK x Brax grinned widely as he read this message he didn't think he would be seeing Leila tonight. Brax didn't reply in case Geoffrey was there.

Leila gave Geoffrey a lingering kiss before she got out of the car; she smiled and waved as she watched him drive away.

Leila turned away from the door of the hospice and walked back down the steps; she stood just outside the car park and waited for Brax, who pulled up in his Ute 10 minutes later. "You ok" he asked as he grabbed Leila's hand in his, he didn't want to kiss her in public just in case someone saw them. Leila just nodded.

Leila was relieved when they finally turned off down a secluded road she leant over and kissed Brax while he was driving "Leila stop it, I need to concentrate" Brax laughed as he tried to keep his eyes on the road.

"Really" Leila teased as she undid her seat belt and moved closer to him "Concentrate on what exactly" she giggled as she kissed his neck.

"Leila stop" Brax replied still trying to focus on the road.

Leila moved back up to Brax's lips and kissed them passionately, before pulling away suddenly when she heard a loud beeping sound.

"SHIT" Brax yelled before BANG, The car had spun out of control before finally stopping on the grass by the side of the road.

Heath and Ashleigh were in his Ute on their way back to the house when Heath saw in the distance was two cars, a fire engine and two ambulances all parked randomly on the road. It wasn't until Heath got closer that he realised he actually recognised the car "Oh my god" Ashleigh gasped. She too had now recognised the car.

"SHIT" Heath exclaimed as he quickly slammed on the breaks causing his Ute to screech to a halt. Ashleigh and Heath both jumped out and ran towards Brax's Ute. Ashleigh screamed when she saw Leila laid on the road, with four paramedics working on her. The firemen were pulling Brax out of the car when Heath arrived "What happened?" Heath asked frantically.

"Are you a relative?" The paramedic asked.

"Yeh I'm his brother" Heath replied as he stared at Brax's lifeless body laid just a few metres away from Leila's.

X o x o x o x o x o x o x o x

"Could I ask you to step away madam" A man said as he put his arm in front of Ashleigh and started to pusher gently backwards.

"No I'm her family" Ashleigh cried. The man stopped instantly and let her through.

"What happed, I'm her sister- in- law?" Ashleigh asked as she looked at Leila. Ashleigh watched in horror as the paramedics transferred Leila's motionless body onto a spinal board.

"I'm afraid she's in a very bad way" the paramedic said grimly "We need to get her to hospital" Ashleigh nodded before climbing up into the ambulance and sitting beside Leila. Heath was already on his way to the hospital with Brax.

X o x o x o x o x o x o x

Ashleigh and Heath were left stood in the corridor as they watched Brax being taken into a side room and Leila being rushed into theatre for emergency surgery. Heath pulled Ashleigh into a tight hug as he watched his brother disappear.

Casey was sat in the Diner with April when he got a phone call from Heath. Leah had just given them their food "Hang on Heath slow down I can't understand" Casey said as he tried to translate Heath's panicked mumbles.

"Brax is where, I'm on my way" Casey said as he quickly hung up. He turned to April who was watching him curiously.

"I need to get to hospital, Brax has been involved in a car accident" Casey explained frantically.

"I'll take you" Leah interrupted quickly as she took off her apron and grabbed her keys. Leaving April to explain to Irene and Colleen where Leah was heading.

Casey and Leah ran up the corridor and headed towards reception, Casey saw Heath sat on a chair near the desk with Ashleigh.

"What going on?" Casey gasped trying to catch his breath.

"I don't know they haven't told me anything yet" Heath replied with no emotion in his voice, Casey guessed he must have been in shock. Ashleigh's head had shot up from Heath's shoulder when she Sid walking towards them "How's Leila?" Ashleigh asked quickly.

"Leila?" Casey repeated. Heath just nodded.

"Yeah she was in the car with Brax" Heath replied before heading towards the doctor.

"Why was Leila King in the car with Brax?" Casey wondered. Little did he know that he was the only one there besides the doctor who didn't know the answer to that question.

"What's the story doc, how's he doing?" Heath interrupted the doctor before he had chance to speak to Ashleigh.

"Erm…Brax has some cracked ribs, a broken wrist and concussion" Sid replied before turning to look at Ashleigh.

"I'm afraid Leila's in a bad way" he said sympathetically, Ashleigh's' just stared, she couldn't speak "Leila took most of the impact from the collision, she wasn't wearing her seatbelt when the cars collided, so she sustained more serious injuries"

"What kind of injuries?" Ashleigh asked with tears in her eyes.

"Leila has some pressure on the brain caused by bleeding in between the brain and the skull. We have taken her into theatre to drain the blood from her head and relieve the pressure" Sid explained.

"And then she'll be ok" Ashleigh interrupted hopefully.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you anything at this point, we won't know how badly the injury has affect the brain until Leila wakes up, that's if she wakes up. I'm afraid Leila's in a critical condition" Sid added.

Heath caught Ashleigh as he collapsed into him "Isn't there anything else you can do?" Heath wondered.

"We're doing all we can, but I do have a bit of good news the baby wasn't harmed in the accident" Sid's revelation almost knocked Ashleigh to the ground.

"What you mean Leila's pregnant?" Heath's eyes widened as Ashleigh asked the question.

"Yes, she's around 6 weeks pregnant" Sid smiled weakly, before Sid could walk away he was shocked to feel Ashleigh's hand on his arm.

"I have called Leila's husband, but I don't want you to tell him about the baby" Ashleigh whispered, luckily Leah and Casey were standing nowhere near Sid when he told Heath and Ashleigh about Leila's condition.

"Of course" Sid replied with a smile before turning and walking into the room Brax was in.

Heath and Casey had gone to get a coffee leaving Leah alone with Brax, she had been sat staring at him for ten minutes. She was shocked when she saw his eyes flickering "Brax" she whispered.

Leah waited for him to open his eyes; she was desperate for him to see her sitting there. She was hoping he would realise how she felt about him, she wasn't however expecting him to open his eyes and say Leila's name.

"Shh Brax its ok" Leah soothed as she grabbed Brax's hand.

"Where is she? I need to know she's ok" Brax was getting frustrated; he started to rip his tubes off.

"Brax calm down, she's ok" Leah said softly trying to calm him.

"Where is she?" Brax asked curiously "LEAH" he snapped when he realised Leah was lying. Brax knew there was no way Leila could be ok, he remembers seeing the state of her after the accident, just before he passed out.

"She's in intensive care" Leah finally admitted, Brax had now got out of bed "Brax get back in bed where are you going?"

"To see her" Brax called as he stormed out of the room and headed towards Intensive Care.

When he arrived at the door he could see Ashleigh sat next to her bed, he was just about to walk in but he spotted Geoffrey holding Leila's hand. He felt sick as he watched Geoffrey lean forwards and stroke Leila's hair. As Geoffrey leaned forward Ashleigh spotted Brax stood at the window in the door. She got up and headed over to him.

"What's he doing here?" Brax spat.

"He's still her husband Brax, believe me I'm not happy about this either" Ashleigh snapped "Look there's something you should know Brax" Ashleigh added in a softer tone. Brax frowned at Ashleigh as he waited for her to speak.

"She's pregnant Brax" Brax's jaw dropped as Ashleigh told him "And we both know there is no way in hell its Geoffrey's, it's your baby Brax"

"Your baby" a female voice repeated from behind them. Brax and Ashleigh were horrified when they turned and saw Leah standing behind them.
