Chapter 2

Thank you Frankelza for your review, was delighted as I am a big fan of your brilliant stories, Real Brothers (This was like a good book, enjoyed every minute of it), Shattered Realities, another brilliant story. This is my first fan fiction so please be patient with me.

Casey sat in the back seat of the car staring out the window, he was unsure where they were going and was even more puzzled when he got a day off school. Earlier in the morning his nana Olivia was in a great mood, singing to herself which Casey hadn't seen for some time.

"Why am I not going to school today?" asked Casey

"Well sweetie, I thought we all deserved a day away from here all three of us" said Olivia

"I was thinking we might head to Mangrove River, there is a woman I was planning to meet there for quite some time".

Casey didn't ask any more as he was quite happy not having to go to school. The journey was quite as neither of his grandparents were saying much. Casey turned up the volume in his MP Player to block out the quietness and closed his eyes.

Ricky sat on the beach looking on as Brax surfed, she had her camera with her taking snap shots. Brax stood in front of her dripping wet, "you should get out there it is great today".

"Maybe, in shall I say about four months" said Ricky with a big smile on her face.

"Anyway, don't forget we have a scan today and maybe we might call to Cheryl on our way back now that you two are on speaking terms again and let her know about the plans for Darcy's 14th Birthday".

"Whatever, you say my precious" said Brax with a big grin on his face, but first maybe we could get some breakfast as I have to check in on the restaurant.

"Sounds grea"t said Ricky, as they held hands and wandered up the beach

They finally arrived in Mangrove river, it looked rough and run down, not what Casey had expected. They drove around for sometime, until his Nana Olivia finally decided to ask someone for directions.

"Excuse me Miss" said Olivia as she pulled down her window. "Yes, how may I assist you" said the woman who was obviously out for a stroll.

"Would you happen to know where Mrs Braxton lives" asked Olivia.

The woman gave directions and continued on walking.

Eventually, they pulled up outside a house that was painted white and blue. Stan looked over to Olivia as he said, "are you sure about this".

"I think it is for the best" said Olivia.

All three got out from the car and headed towards the door, Olivia knocked a few times until they heard coming from inside.

Hold on, hold on what's the rush, that's when this woman opened the door, she was average height with long hair, jeans, a top and another top tied around her waist. She stood there and looked at all three of them standing outside her door.

"Mrs Braxton, isn't it" asked Olivia.

Cheryl stood there with her mouth opened she recognised them straight away and looked shocked. "What are you doing here" asked Cheryl

"This is our grandson Casey" said Olivia, as she smiled over to Casey.

"Hi kid how ya doing" said Cheryl

"Fine" said Casey, could I use your bathroom please.

Sure thing kid, it is in there second on the right.

With Casey now out of sight, Cheryl asked again, "why are you here we were never supposed to be in contact agai"n.

"Things have changed" said Olivia, slightly changing her tone. Our beautiful Nathalie passed away a month ago and obviously we think it is time for Casey to meet his Dad don't we Stan.

Stan nodded slightly, he didn't approve of this at all he would be quite happy for Casey to stay with them that is what Nathalie would have wanted.

"You know that is never going to happen Mrs Davidson, Daryl cannot ever know Casey, never".

Casey stood and looked at a picture on the wall of two boys, probably in there late teens, holding surf boards, he continued to walk back out where his grandparents were but when he heard arguing he paused for a minute and listened.

Daryl, is my son and is very happy living with his partner in Summer bay, they are due there first baby together and if he ever got hold of this it could destroy everything.

With that Casey appeared behind Cheryl and said "Thank You for the use of your bathroom".

"You are welcome kid" said Cheryl

"Would you mind waiting in the car Casey" asked Stan, we won't be long and with that Casey headed off to the car.

Look Mr. & Mrs Davidson, the kid looks great his mom must have looked after him well and he seems happy so I don't see the point in destroying everything now after what it must be thirteen years. I am sure if you need help you could get plenty of assistant from social services.

"Casey has a right to know his dad" said Olivia, you cannot take that from him. I know it was wrong of Nathalie to keep Daryl out of the picture after Casey was born but you and your husband, what was his name again Danny were quite happy in taking 10k thirteen years ago to keep quite about Casey. Daryl never has to know money was ever exchanged we can say it was Nathalie's that didn't want him to be part of Casey's life..

"Things between me and Daryl are good right now" said Cheryl but something like this could destroy our relationship and his and Ricky's so I am not going to stand back and let it happen.

"So If you don't mind I have things to do" said Cheryl and closed the door.

Casey knew his gran Olivia didn't look the best when she returned to the car, he was curious what the connection was, had it something to do with his dad? He looked at the piece of paper he held on his hand where he wrote, Cheryl Braxton, Mangrove River, Daryl Braxton, Summer Bay, he turned up the volume on his MP again and closed his eyes for the long journey back to the city.

Brax and Ricky looked at the monitor as the doctor showed them where the heart beat was. "It is all good everything seems fine and a good strong heart Beat".

"Do you want to know the sex of your bab"y said Dr. Nate

Ricky and Brax both looked at each other with a big grin and said yes.

"He will probably require a surf board" said Dr Nate with a smile.

"A son" said Brax with a big grin on his face a little me who could imagine and he kissed Ricky on the lips.

When they arrived on Cheryl's door she was surprised but delighted to seem them. They were both over the moon and told Cheryl it was a boy they were having.

Of course, Cheryl was delighted and knew then it was best that the secret from earlier was left in the past and hoped it would remain there.
