Chapter 15- The brains you had went to your head

The next morning April woke up to a smiling Heath lying beside her in bed. She smiled back for a moment before her stomach lurched and she jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. April got down on her knees and was violently sick. Heath hurried after her and pulled her hair back. "Go away Heath!" April groaned between wretching. She didn't want him to see her puking her guts up.

Heath rolled his eyes. "Would you just concentrate on what you're doing?"

April sighed and got sick again. That was definitely the worst part of being pregnant. She really hoped the morning sickness wouldn't last long. She could take going to the bathroom and eating constantly, but April prayed this part would stop soon. After she was done, April brushed her teeth and went into the kitchen with Heath to get something to eat. She cringed when she saw that Casey was making a cup of coffee.

He looked over at the two. "Oh, I didn't know you spent the night." Casey said bitterly.

April frowned and walked over to him. "Casey I'm so sorry that you had to find out like this. I feel terrible about it." she told him sincerely.

Casey looked as if he didn't believe a word of it. "April you're one of my best friends, how am I supposed to feel when you're pregnant with my brother's baby. If it was Brax's I would understand, but you are way too good for Heath! What were you thinking?"

"Hey, I'm still standing here you know." Heath reminded his younger brother.

Casey grimaced. "Sorry, I'm still not talking to you." he told his brother. "Because as much as I want to blame April, I know this is your fault. This should have been the one challenge that you backed away from!"

April hated to see the two Braxton's fighting. "Casey, it was me that wanted to sleep with Heath in the first place. Dex was with Dallas and Xavier didn't want to do it with me. I was set on losing my virginity and Heath dropped me home..."

"Why would you want to have sex with him? You could have any guy you like!" Casey wondered incredulously.

April grimaced. "Well Dex and Xavier wouldn't. At the time, he was the adventure for me. What better way to lose it than with the reputed Heath Braxton. But then... "

Casey frowned. "That really is such a cliché April. All that time you were sneaking around and sleeping with him."

She nodded. "Casey we were having fun, but then I started to fall for him. I knew I had to let that go though when I found out that I was pregnant."

"For the past couple of weeks you fled whenever you saw Heath. Now I know why. You know April, no matter what my idiot brother says, you have the choice here. Maybe it would be a good idea-"

"That's not your decision to make." Heath snapped and April put a hand reassuringly on his muscular arm. The action nearly made Casey sick.

April smiled. "Casey, I'm keeping my baby. Me and Heath's baby."

Casey was horrified. "April you can't be serious! You wanted to go to med school. You can't just throw everything away!"

"I'm not throwing everything away. I can always take a gap year. Even if I don't become a doctor, I'll have something much more important." April told him. She had everything resolved in her head.

Casey raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? And what if something goes wrong? Then what are you going to do?" he knew that she had herself convinced that everything was going to be great.

"Nothing's going to go wrong." Heath assured his brother. "We're going to make sure of it."

He wasn't convinced. "Yeah, and since when are you a psychic Heath?" Casey wondered. "I'm just saying that things change."

April frowned. He was completely ruining her mood by tearing down all her plans. "Why can't you just trust that I know what I'm doing?" she demanded sullenly.

"Because you don't April! You're blinded by the romance of it all and you're making a mistake." he tried to make her see.

April was having none of it though. "You can't tell me how to live my life Casey. This isn't about you. It's not your life and it's not your baby. I don't have to listen to anything you say!" she snapped at her friend.

Casey angrily threw his cup of coffee into the sink and stormed out of the room. He was only trying to make her see sense but she would never listen to him. She needed to listen, so Casey decided he needed to go to someone with a higher power.
