Aaliyah waited patiently for Sid to come and give her a scan. Casey had stayed at school, although it was killing him, he knew Aaliyah was right when she said Summer knows something. Neither of them wanted to raise suspicion.

Brax and Charlie were in the middle of an argument when Brax got the call saying Aaliyah had been rushed to hospital. He quickly grabbed his keys "Why do you always drop everything for her, it is your baby isn't it" Charlie cried as she followed him towards the door.
"I don't need this right now Charlie" Brax replied as he turned to face her.
"It is your baby. If it was Johnny Cooper's baby you wouldn't need to keep it a secret now" Charlie had gone into detective mode, she knew Dylan was missing and Johnny was in prison so Aaliyah didn't need to keep it a secret anymore. All she wanted was for Brax tell people the truth. The truth however was not what she expected at all.
"It's not Johnny's baby ok" Brax yelled.
Charlie's eyes filled with tears "So it is yours?" she snapped trying to fight her tears.
"Charlie I can't…" Brax didn't want to discuss it.
"Brax" Charlie grabbed Brax's arm, stopping him from walking away.
"It's Casey's" Brax couldn't stop himself from blurting it out.
"What?" Charlie replied as she put her hand up to her mouth, she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"The baby belongs to Casey, before you arrived at the school Johnny had a gun pointing at Casey. He knew about the baby, so I told him it was mine" Brax explained the best he could.
"So you're not the dad" Charlie was struggling to let it all sink in "Casey is?" she still couldn't believe it.
Brax nodded quickly "I need to get to the hospital" he said as he quickly locked the door behind them both and headed towards his Ute.
Charlie was in shock, she walked slowly up the beach. The more Charlie thought about what Brax had said the more it made sense. She remembered the way Aaliyah and Casey were around eachother. At the time she just thought they were close but she never in a million years expected them to be that close. She was his teacher, Charlie thought to herself over and over again. It was against the law what they were doing. Charlie decided she had to speak to Aaliyah for herself.

As Brax arrived at the hospital he saw Aaliyah sat in a side room "Hey are you ok?" he asked as he gave her a hug. Aaliyah shook her head. "Is it the baby?" Brax added quickly, he was concerned for his niece or nephew.
"No, well I'm not sure yet. One if the students in my class know about me and Casey, she's the reason I'm in here" Aaliyah explained to a stunned Brax
"How do you mean she's the reason?" he was a little confused.
"She pushed me and I fell onto the back of a chair" Aaliyah said being interrupted by Sid and his machine.
"Ok Aaliyah are you ready?" he smiled as he put the cold jelly on Aaliyah's stomach. Aaliyah jumped at the coldness of the jelly. Both Brax and Aaliyah smiled when they heard a strong heartbeat "Ok Aaliyah everything looks fine, I'd say you were well into your 23rd week of your pregnancy" Sid was now looking at Brax and Aaliyah "Would you like to know the sex of your baby?" he asked. Brax and Aaliyah looked at eachother, she wasn't sure if she should find out without Casey.
"No can we keep it as a surprise?" Brax answered quickly, he could see the torment in Aaliyah's face. Aaliyah threw Brax a smile and a silent thank you.
"Of course" Sid replied as he wiped the remained jelly off Aaliyah's stomach.

Casey was waiting anxiously in the diner for any news. He almost shot out of his seat when he received a text from Aaliyah Meet me outside Angelo's in 10 minutes. Love you x x
Casey stood up quickly and headed towards Angelo's, little did he know he was being followed. As he approached he saw Aaliyah standing there waiting for him. Brax had gone inside. Casey threw his arms around Aaliyah before kissing her on the head.
"Are you ok?" He asked as he pulled away a little. Aaliyah nodded.
"Yes I'm fine and the baby's fine, I'm so sorry Casey" Aaliyah said as she started to cry.
"Hey, you don't need to be sorry. It wasn't your fault" he said softly as he pulled her closer for another hug.
Little did they know they were being watched, watching them closely from behind the boat shed was April. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Were her eyes deceiving her or was Casey really in a relationship with Miss Henderson. She didn't need to wonder for long because as she continued to watch she saw Casey and Aaliyah kissing passionately before finally getting into her car.

Aaliyah and Casey barged threw the door to Aaliyah's house, they were kissing passionately. Aaliyah only just managed to close the door before Casey picked her up and carried her towards the bedroom; he laid her on the bed before falling on top of her gently. Aaliyah pulled Casey's shirt off over his head as he ran his hand up her thigh. Aaliyah unzipped Casey's trousers as he kissed her neck gently. Aaliyah wrapped her legs around Casey's waist and pulled him inside her. Aaliyah bit her lip as she tried not to make noise. They had both seen Heath's Ute parked at the front of the house when they arrived home and Aaliyah didn't want him to hear them.
After they had finished Aaliyah snuck into the kitchen in Casey's school shirt to get some juice, when she was interrupted by a knock at the door. Before Aaliyah had chance to do anything Charlie opened the door. She was astounded to see Aaliyah stood there in Casey's shirt.
"Charlie" Aaliyah exclaimed as she stared at the woman standing in front of her "What are you doing here?"
"Brax told me about you and Casey, I came to speak to you bout it" Charlie explained, she was even more shocked when Casey walked out of the bedroom in just his trousers "I thought you were get…" He smiled before being interrupted by the presence of another woman. He was horrified when he realised it was Charlie.
"I can't believe this" Charlie said shaking her head. Casey and Aaliyah both threw eachother a look. They were worried about what Charlie would do or say.
"Case, leave us a minute" Aaliyah's voice broke the silence.
"Will you be ok?" Casey was concerned for his girlfriend; this caused Charlie to look up. She realised Casey cared about Aaliyah. Aaliyah nodded and Casey disappeared into the bedroom.
"How long has it been going on?" Charlie got straight to the point.
"About 8 months" Aaliyah replied watching Charlie's reaction.
"What were you thinking? You do realise this is against the law?" Charlie stayed true to her job and kept the questions coming.
"Yeh, and so is sleeping with a known criminal" Aaliyah informed her. She felt terrible for using Charlie and Brax's relationship as a tool, but it was the best she had right now.
"What?" Charlie wasn't as confidant now as she first appeared.
"If you tell anyone about me and Casey, I will make sure the whole town know about you and Brax and your secret meetings" Aaliyah threatened, Charlie froze she couldn't believe Aaliyah was threatening her like this, but she knew she couldn't argue.
"Fine I won't say a word" Charlie was extremely upset Aaliyah had treated her like this; she turned and ran out of Aaliyah's house.
Aaliyah also felt bad for what she had said she picked up the nearest thing to her (which was a glass) and threw it at the wall. Casey came out of the bedroom and rushed towards Aaliyah "She knows Casey, Brax told her" Aaliyah cried as Casey pulled her into a hug.
"Its ok baby, it'll be ok" he whispered as he kissed the top of her head.

After her argument with Charlie Aaliyah headed to the beach, she had arranged to meet Heath, Darcy and Riley, they were going for pizza at Angelo's.
As Heath found a table Aaliyah headed to the bar to get some drinks, and to talk to Brax.
"Usual" Brax assumed as he started to poor some drinks, Aaliyah nodded.
"Why did you tell Charlie about me and Case?" Aaliyah asked bluntly.
Brax quickly gestured for Aaliyah to follow him into the back room. Heath watched from the table curiously.
"I had no choice Ali, I was going to lose her" Brax explained
"Oh well good for you. You do realise she was going to report us don't you?" Aaliyah was a little annoyed at Brax's excuse.
"She won't do that" Brax reassured her.
"Yes I know, she knows if she does I will let slip your little secret" Aaliyah replied, she didn't mean to sound so callous but she couldn't help it.
"How dare you threaten her with that? Do you have any idea what I have sacrificed to keep your relationship a secret" Brax spat angrily. "I almost lost Charlie because of you"
"I'm sorry I didn't want you to get caught up in this mess, but I decided a long time ago I couldn't be without him" Aaliyah cried "I love Casey so much"
Brax nodded he understood exactly what Aaliyah was saying, he felt that way about Charlie. Brax put his hand on Aaliyah's arm "Its ok, Charlie won't say a word. She knows how you feel and so do I"
