Aaliyah and Casey arrived back at her house a few moments before Brax. The couple were stood in the lounge when Brax arrived. The door had been left open a little, so Brax took this as the perfect opportunity to find out what was really going on. He listened quietly outside the door.
"Are you ok?" Casey asked as he put a wet cloth to Aaliyah's cut lip. Aaliyah had sent Riley to play in is room.
"Yeh, I've had worse that this" Aaliyah replied forcing a smile. "Casey I'm sorry about…" Aaliyah tried to explain before being cut off abruptly by Casey.
"It's not important, you're the only thing that's important to me right now" he said as he pulled her into a hug "I love you so much, and nothing is gonna come between us again remember?" he reminded her before leaning forward to kiss her. Brax couldn't believe what he was hearing/seeing. He quickly opened the door and revealed himself.
"I knew it" he exclaimed. Aaliyah and Casey jumped away from each other quickly.
"Brax it's not what you think" Casey quickly tried to explain
"Don't insult me Casey" Brax yelled as he walked towards them both "What the fuck are you both thinking?"
Aaliyah and Casey both looked at each other then turned to answer Brax. "I love her" Casey finally replied putting his arm around the blond. Brax shook his head in disbelief he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"We tried to stay away from each other, but we can't. Come on Brax don't tell me you have never loved someone you shouldn't" Aaliyah said, in hers and Casey's defence. Suddenly Brax remembered what Aaliyah knew about him and Charlie. She was right how he could judge them when he was doing the same thing. "God" Brax exclaimed as he ran his hand through his hair. Aaliyah had him over a barrel.
"Who else knows?" Brax asked finally. Casey and Aaliyah both shook their heads "No-one" Casey replied. Brax nodded.
"Fine I won't say anything, but you make sure no-one else finds out about this do you hear me" Brax said before finally storming out. Aaliyah and Casey weren't really sure what had just happened but they were glad Brax didn't kick off. Aaliyah felt terrible for using Brax's relationship with Charlie as leverage. But she decided a long time ago, she had no intention of giving Casey up.

Johnny gritted his teeth as he saw the woman approach he sniffed before speaking "What do you want Lexi?" he spat.
"Well really, that's no way to talk to your sister-in-law is it?" Lexi grinned smugly before sitting in the seat opposite her.
"Look just say what you gotta say then leave" Johnny scoffed.
"My sister's looking extremely well wouldn't you agree?" Lexi started callously.
Johnny was furious at this remark he lost his temper and launched at Lexi "If you've touched her I swear to god" he threatened angrily. He was quickly pulled back by the prison guards.
"Oh my dear Johnny, you're aggression is wasted on my sister. She has someone else to take care of her now" Lexi smirked
"You're lying, you evil Bitch" Johnny spat as he struggled to break free from the guards
"I saw her myself, getting cosy with one of the Braxton's" Lexi informed him.
Johnny suddenly stopped struggling "Which one?" he asked curiously.
Lexi smiled when she realised she had grabbed Johnny's attention "The youngest, Casey I think his name is" Lexi said before finally turning and leaving. Johnny was taken back into his cell by the guards.

Aaliyah wasn't really sure if Brax had taken the news of her relationship with Casey relatively well. Or if this was in fact the calm before the storm. Either way that didn't concern Aaliyah for the moment. She had bigger things to worry about. Her period was late.
Aaliyah had returned home from taking Riley to school, she had called Gina and told her she would be a bit late to work. Aaliyah reached into her bag and pulled out the paper bag. Inside the bag was a box she put the box on the table and stared at it for a few moments. Pregnancy Test, she read the words over and over again hoping they would soon sink in.
Aaliyah took a deep breath picked up the box and headed into the bathroom, it's now or never she thought to herself as she closed the door behind her.
Aaliyah emerged from the bathroom a few moments later with the test stick in her hand. She could see the little egg timer in the little window. Digital Pregnancy test she thought to herself whatever next. Aaliyah was a little amused by the instructions; the egg timer picture indicates that the test is thinking MMM I wonder what its thinking about me, shit what a mess I expect Aaliyah giggled to herself. Aaliyah couldn't bare it anymore; she put the test on the table and walked away, checking her watch every few seconds.
About five minutes had passed before Aaliyah finally plucked up the courage to look. She walked over to it as though it could explode at any minute, before taking a deep breath and looking at the window. Her heart sank as she read it-
PREGNANT
4+ weeks
Aaliyah's heart fluttered a little when she realised that if she was more than 4 weeks pregnant there was no way it was Heath's baby. Aaliyah quickly put the test in her bag and hurried out of the door. She had to tell Casey she thought to herself.
As Aaliyah shut the door her house phone started to ring Aaliyah decided to ignore it she headed for her car and drove to school. As the phone finished ringing the answer machine kicked in "Hey this is Aaliyah, if I don't answer leave a message" the cheerful recording echoed around the empty house.
"Aaliyah, its Charlie Buckton, can you call me as soon as you get this, it's important" the answer machine then beeped before flashing on and off, indicating a message.

Luckily as Aaliyah arrived at school the pupils were in between lessons, Aaliyah managed to collar Casey and drag him into an empty classroom. Casey looked confused by Aaliyah flustered expression. Aaliyah quickly put her hand in her bag and pulled out the test, she handed it to Casey. He read the result and stared at Aaliyah. Casey didn't have a clue what to say. But he wasn't angry so that was a good thing.
Just as Aaliyah was going to speak the classroom filled with students. Casey threw the test at Aaliyah, who put it in her bag. They both exited the classroom and headed into the corridor "We'll talk at lunch time" Casey yelled above the noise before heading to his next class.
Aaliyah turned and walked into her class with a half smile on her face. As the students read quietly to themselves Aaliyah grabbed her phone out of her bag, she was surprised to have had 12 missed calls from Charlie.
Before Aaliyah had chance to do anything she was shocked to see a figure stood in the doorway. Aaliyah's face dropped as she stared at the man "Hello Beautiful" the voice said. Amelia's attention was redirected to her vibrating iphone, she quickly answered it
"Oh thank god, Aaliyah its Charlie. Johnny's somehow managed to escape prison" Charlie explained frantically.
Aaliyah just listened before replying "He's here" she managed before hanging up and turning back to face Johnny. As she looked at him she felt faint, because as her eyes moved down, it was then she realised Johnny had a gun.
