Chapter 28- Confessions

Heath didn't look like he felt like explaining again so Brax decided to take over while his brother sulked. "Henri's back in town and she dropped a bit of a bombshell on Heath at the funeral."

Casey arched an eyebrow. "What did she tell him?" he wondered apprehensively.

Brax knew exactly what was going through his younger brother's mind at that moment. "Well, she's nearly five months pregnant with Heath's baby." He was aiming to get a certain reaction out of Casey. The youngest Braxton's face fell. All the colour drained from his complexion. That reaction was all Brax needed for a confirmation. Luckily Heath wasn't paying attention.

"She's what?" Casey could barely manage to get the words out of his mouth.

Brax kept his poker face on. "Is there something you would like to tell Heath, Case?"

Heath's head shot up and he looked between his two brothers. "What are you talking about Brax?" he had a feeling there was something he didn't know.

Casey was looking increasingly nervous. "I- I..."

Heath definitely knew something was up and he sure as hell was going to find out what it was. "What's he talking about Casey?" he demanded, raising his voice at his younger brother.

Brax stepped in between the two. "Okay, calm down mate." He warned his brother.

Heath glared at him. "You two are keeping something from me and I want to know what it is! It's obviously important."

Brax sighed. He didn't want to force his younger brother's hand but Heath had a right to know. "Casey, if you don't tell him, I will." He warned.

The youngest Braxton sighed and drew a deep breath. "I was sleeping with Henri." He finally managed to say.

Heath clenched his jaw. "When?" he said shortly, not wanting to get ahead of himself.

"Just after the formal." Casey answered reluctantly.

Hope began to flood Heath. "Wait, does that mean there's a chance that it isn't my baby?" He hoped with every inch of his being that it was so.

Casey nodded timidly. "More than a chance... We didn't use protection a couple of times."

To Heath there were two possible situations; either Henri didn't know who the father was or she had lied about it. Even if it were the former, he had to believe that there had to be a greater chance that Casey was the father. Heath had used protection all three times they had slept together. "We're getting this sorted now." He said frustratedly and headed for the door again. Casey reluctantly followed his brother.

Angelo's was the first place they tried and luckily they found Henri there. She smiled when she saw Heath but that smile quickly disappeared when she saw that Casey was with him. Henri put on a fake smile. "Casey, it's good to see you again."

Heath rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap Henri. When you told me that you were pregnant with my baby you failed to mention that you were sleeping with Casey before you slept with me. You can either tell us which one is the father or I'm requesting a paternity test." He told the blonde straight out.

Henri bit her lip and rubbed her face. "Okay, I lied. Heath you're not the father. I'm so sorry I don't know what I was thinking-"

Heath couldn't believe what she was saying. "So you lied about that being my child and you're sorry? Do you know how completely messed up that is. I thought I had gotten you pregnant but it was actually my brother's baby! And not to mention you probably just ruined my relationship with the only girl I've ever loved and who is actually having my child!"

"Why didn't you just tell me that the baby was mine?" Casey wondered, hurt by her actions.

Henri sighed. "Because you're with Ruby."

Heath's jaw dropped. "So you didn't want to ruin Casey's relationship but you didn't think twice before ruining mine? Do you know what? You're pathetic!" he shouted before storming off.

"Wait where are you going?" Casey called after his brother.

Heath clenched his jaw. "To go and try to salvage my relationship, what do you think?" he snapped before heading to Irene's again.

Tears began to form in her eyes. "He hates me, doesn't he?" Henri assumed.

"Well I guess he won't be joining your fan club anytime soon." Casey replied sarcastically before getting serious again. "Do you not think that I'm father material?"

Henri shook her head. "No, Casey that's not what I thought at all." She promised him.

He threw his hands up disbelievingly. "Then what were you thinking Henri? 'Cause I'm having a hard time understanding. What would possess you to lie about who your baby's father is?"

"Because if I told Heath and he didn't want anything to do with me or the baby I could take it, because he's Heath Braxton. But if I told you and you didn't want to know about it... I don't know what I would do." She wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Casey sighed and reluctantly hugged the blonde. "I know you must be terrified, but Henri what you did was really stupid. I don't think Heath will ever be able to forgive you."

Henri nodded. "I know... but what about you? Will you be able to forgive me?"

As much as Casey wanted to hold a grudge over this, he couldn't. She was pregnant with his child. His son or daughter. "You're forgiven. But please don't lie to me again."

Henri looked him in the eye. "I swear, I will never lie to you or anyone ever again."

"Good. So where are you staying tonight?"

She looked sheepish. "I don't know. This didn't exactly turn out the way I had planned. Maybe I'll go back to the city. It was a bad idea to come back."

Casey shook his head. "No, I'm glad you did. You can crash at mine tonight. I'll take the couch. "

Henri didn't think that was a good idea at all. "There is no way Heath is going to want me there at all."

"Well Heath doesn't have a choice. Besides, if he makes up with April he probably won't be back tonight. If she takes him back. Pregnancy has made her very strong willed."

Henri shook her head. "No way. I'm not staying at yours. I'll book into the caravan park while I'm getting a place of my own sorted out."

"I'm not asking Henri, I'm telling. Come on." He told her. Henri reluctantly agreed and Casey lead her out to her car.
