Chapter 27- Forgive me is all you can't say
After leaving Henri, Heath went to find April immediately. He had to find her and make things right. He refused to lose the best thing that's ever happened to him. Not even an hour ago he and April's future seemed so promising but now Henri's appearance threatened all of that. Heath still couldn't believe he was so stupid, not only did he sleep with Henri while he was with April but he got her pregnant as well. When April found out she was pregnant Heath knew it was going to be okay because he loved April and she loved him but with Henri it was a complete different story.
Heath found Liam in Angelo's. "Have you seen April?" he asked wearily.
Liam nodded. "Yeah, Bianca took her home. She seemed really upset. I'm assuming that had something to do with you?" He said harshly.
Heath didn't acknowledge the accusation. "I'll go to Irene's so." He said and left. He practically ran to Irene's house. When he got there, he briskly knocked on the door. It didn't surprise him that it was Bianca that answered it.
She looked less than pleased. "What do you want?" she wondered coldly.
He gave his ex a knowing look. "You know why I'm here. I really need to talk to April."
Bianca shook her head. "No way. She doesn't want to talk to you Heath. And to be perfectly honest, I don't blame her. Do you know how much she gave up for you?"
Heath frowned. "I know, that's why I have to make it better. I love her and I love the baby she's carrying." He said desperately.
"Yeah? Well you should have thought of that before you impregnated another woman! Congratulations Heath, you broke my sister's heart just like I knew you would. You know what? Just go. You're not going to see April tonight." Bianca told him before closing the door.
April came out of her room. "Was that Heath?" she frowned.
Bianca nodded. "But it's okay, I got rid of him. He needs to know that you don't just come running when he calls, especially when he does something like this."
Tears began running down April's cheeks again and Bianca pulled her sister into her arms. "I still love him Bianca. What am I going to do?"
Bianca sighed. "I don't know April. I'd love to tell you what you should do, but I just don't know. This is something you need to think about carefully." She reminded her.
April wiped her eyes. "I know." She said lowly and rubbed her stomach out of force of habit. "Bianca do we have any pistachio ice cream?"
Bianca arched an eyebrow. "Pistachio ice cream? April you hate pistachio ice cream."
April shrugged wearily. "I know but I have a craving for it."
The older Scott smiled. "How about I go to the shop and get some and then we can get into our pyjamas and watch a girly movie?"
April nodded and smiled lightly. "That sounds good. I need to take my mind off everything."
When Heath got home he slammed the door behind him and slammed his fist up against the wall. He was so frustrated with this situation. Heath wanted nothing more to hold the woman that he loved in his arms. She was still hurting over Xavier's death and now she had all this to deal with as well. He couldn't even begin to imagine how she was feeling and it killed him to know that he couldn't even try to comfort her.
Brax walked into the sitting room and frowned at his brother. "Mind the wall bro. What's up?" he wondered concernedly.
Heath sighed ,frustrated , and threw his hands up behind his head. "Guess who showed up at Angelo's today?"
Brax shrugged. "I couldn't even begin to imagine. I take it that it wasn't someone you didn't particularly want to see?"
Heath nodded. Anger filled him again. "It was Henri."
Brax frowned. "What's she doing back? I thought she got a job in a school in Sydney?"
"I'll tell you what she's doing back; she's trying to ruin my relationship with April! And she's succeeding!" Heath said furiously.
"Why? What did she do? You and April are pretty solid."
The younger Braxton chuckled humourlessly. "We were. When your ex girlfriend shows up nearly five months pregnant with your child it kinda throws a spanner in the works!"
Brax's jaw dropped. That had been the last thing he had expected to hear. "You're kidding? –No pun intended."
Heath nodded. "Yeah. And she decided to break the news in front of April."
"Yeah, that probably wasn't the best way to go about it. So they're both around five months gone?" Brax wondered, implying that the fault wasn't solely on Henri.
Heath rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I slept with her once or twice when me and April started out. Which is the worst mistake I've ever made."
Brax rubbed his neck. "Well it's not exactly Henri's fault... I'm sure she didn't plan to get pregnant."
Heath shot his brother an evil look. "Who's side are you on? And I know it's not all her fault, but she waited until she was five months pregnant to tell me that she's having my baby!"
Brax frowned. He remembered something, but decided not to relay that information to his brother yet. "Just calm down mate, getting all worked up about it isn't going to help the situation."
If looks could kill, Brax would have been dead five times over. "Do not tell me to calm down Brax! In case you haven't quite got the picture, I'm screwed beyond belief!" he shouted just as Casey walked in the front door.
Ruby was by his side but frowned when she saw the scene. "I'll catch up with you in a while Case." She gave him a kiss and then left.
Casey frowned at his brother's. "What's going on?"
