Aaliyah was completely oblivious to Casey's slip up. She was sat in the back of the ambulance being checked over by a paramedic, Riley was with her. She noticed the icy atmosphere that surrounded Heath and Casey. Brax was sat in the ambulance with Aaliyah "What's going on with them two?" She asked him curiously.

"Casey might have let slip about you two being together" Brax replied when the paramedics left them alone. Aaliyah's eyes widened "He what?" she exclaimed.

"No don't worry he didn't tell him as such, he called you baby" Brax explained.

"What did Heath say?" Aaliyah was worried Casey could have blown everything.

"Not much, I'm just hoping we can talk ourselves out of it. Either that or Heath is too stupid to pick up on it" Brax teased.

"Hey don't be cruel" Aaliyah laughed and coughed at the same time, causing Riley to jump.

"Hey, its ok baby" Aaliyah soothed, as she stroked her sons head.

As Brax watched Aaliyah with Riley he suddenly remembered something Lexi had said earlier.

"So what happened with your Gran?" Brax wondered. Aaliyah looked confused "I heard what Lexi said earlier, you didn't really kill her did you?" he added.

Aaliyah looked at him "Kind of" her reaction had shocked Brax. "My Gran was dying of Cancer; she was in a lot of pain"

Brax sighed he was relieved Aaliyah hadn't just strangled of stabbed her grandmother "You helped her end it right?" Brax asked.

Aaliyah nodded "Yeah she begged me to help her when the pain medication stopped working. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But I knew it was for the best" Aaliyah was distracted from her explanation by a green bag being taken away from the scene outside. Aaliyah's face went pale. Brax took hold of her hand when he realised what she had seen "I tried to help her" Aaliyah said with tears in her eyes.

"I know" Brax replied as he moved nearer to her and put his arm around her. He remembered why Aaliyah had gone back underwater; she wanted to save her sister.

Aaliyah and Riley were put in the same room in the hospital, she had made it clear to the doctors she would only rest in bed if Riley was with her. The doctors gave in when they realised this woman wouldn't stay in bed unless her son was in the same room.

Riley was fast asleep when Aden knocked gently on the door. He was a little nervous about entering, the last time he spoke top Aaliyah she was practically launching herself at him.

"Hey" he whispered as soon as he realised Riley was asleep. Aaliyah smiled, which Aden took as a 'come in'. He pulled up and chair and sat beside her "Ali, I'm so sorry" Aden said quickly, before being interrupted by Aaliyah.

"No, I'm sorry, I was just angry. I should never have blamed you" Aaliyah apologized. Aden took hold of her hand "Listen Ali, I know things between us have been complicated lately, but I just want you know I'm here for you"

Aaliyah quickly moved her hand away "Please don't be nice to me I don't deserve it" she said quickly.

Aden frowned "Hey it's forgotten about I know you didn't mean those things" Aden reassured the young mum. He was shocked when Aaliyah shook her head.

"I'm not talking bout that" she explained "Aden I never told you why I left" Aaliyah couldn't believe she was about to say this.

"I don't understand, you said you weren't ready to commit to a relationship" Aden was trying to get his head around what Aaliyah was saying.

"I did something terrible" Aaliyah began nervously "Aden I had an abortion"

Aden sat upright "You what? When?"

"Two weeks before I left. I was scared. You said you didn't want a family and I couldn't bear raising another baby by myself" Aaliyah tried to explain as Aden stood up and threw his hands behind his head.

"What and you didn't think I had a right to know? Or a say in what happened to our baby" Aden spat angrily.

"Aden please I'm…" Aaliyah tried to apologise.

"Don't you dare say you're sorry? You are unbelievable Ali. And what about now?" he yelled. Aaliyah was confused "What so you can't have my baby but you can quite happily have his"

"What the hell is going on?" Brax had now arrived he could hear the shouting from the corridor; Riley had also woke up by this point.

"Nothing I was just leaving" Aden said as he stormed out of the room.

"Would you care to explain?" Brax said with his eye brows raised. Aaliyah just sunk down the bed and put her head in her hands. What a mess she thought to herself.

Casey and Heath were sat at the police station waiting to make their statements. Charlie wanted every detail of what had happened. Heath was still stuck on what Casey had called Aaliyah at Reefton Lakes.

"You know you're kidding yourself right?" Heath said finally, Casey just looked at him with a confused expression on his face.

"You called her baby" Heath reminded him. Casey had forgotten about that until Heath mentioned it again.

"So" Casey replied coolly "It didn't mean anything it just slipped out" he tried to remain calm. He was desperate for Heath not to find out about him and Aaliyah. Especially since Aaliyah had told him about Heath's declaration of love.

"I just wanna make sure you know nothing will ever happen between you both, she is having our brother's baby after all" Heath's remark angered Casey but he knew he had to keep his mouth shut, another slip up was not advisable at this point. He had so much to lose if the truth ever did get out. Casey was just grateful Heath was a little bit slow when it came to things like this.

I hope this chapter was ok for you all.

When I am writing I always listen to certain types of music to help me think and I have to say I have found the perfect 2 songs for Casey and Aaliyah the first one is called By Your Side, and its by Tenth Avenue North and the second one is a new one by Emeli Sande and its called Next to me. Have a listen to them and let me know which one you think suits them better. As Always please R & R much love Nikki x x
