After Angelo's Aaliyah and Riley made their way home. It was getting late and Riley was tired. Heath and Darcy stayed at the restaurant for a while longer. Aaliyah had just put Riley to bed when she finally managed to sit down she was shocked to hear a key turning in the lock on her front door. She was even more shocked when she realised the person standing there was Aden.

"Hey, I hope you don't mind" Aden said softly as he headed over to the sofa "I had to talk to you" he added as he sat beside Aaliyah.

"No course not, I forgot I had given you that key" Aaliyah smiled "Aden I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't want it" Aaliyah tried to explain. Aden took her hands in his.

"It's ok, look you were right I did say I didn't want a family, but I meant right now, I didn't mean not ever" Aden was now sat facing Aaliyah "Why didn't you come to me?"

"I didn't want you to think I was trying to trap you" Aaliyah continued "I didn't think you wanted a family"

"I didn't, but I would have with you" Aden's confession had stunned Aaliyah; she had no idea he felt like this about her. She always thought she was just a distraction from his dead wife. "Thing is Ali, I loved you so much. If you had told me you were pregnant we could have dealt with it together. Although I wasn't ready for a baby, I would have had a baby with you" Aden moved a strand of hair away from Aaliyah's face.

Earlier that evening April had flowed Casey back to the surf club, she had to talk to him about what she had seen. She approached him at the juice bar. He was waiting for a smoothie "Hey Casey" April grinned "Can I have a word?" April led Casey to a quieter part of the surf club.

"What's up?" Casey asked his friend curiously.

"I saw something today that shocked me and I wanted to talk to you about it" April explained "Earlier today I saw you with Miss Henderson, you were hugging and kissing"

Casey couldn't reply, his body had gone numb. He had no way out of answering this question; the only way he could answer it was by being honest. "Ok fine, but you have to promise to keep it to yourself" Casey started.

"But what if I…" April interrupted.

"APRIL" Casey exclaimed. "Fine I promise" April added. Casey took a deep breath before explaining his situation.

"You're right there is something going on I have been seeing Ali…Miss Henderson for 8 months" Casey's words left April gob smacked, she hadn't even imagined the relationship had been going on for that long. Then it suddenly dawned on her, a small detail Casey had let slip earlier.

"Oh my god, it's your baby isn't it?" Casey just nodded, as he watched April's face drop. He could tell what she was thinking.

"Look what me and Ali have is more than just a quick fumble behind the bike sheds. We love each other. I know she is our teacher but at home she is just Ali" Casey tried to explain.

"But she is our teacher?" April couldn't even think past this fact for now.

"Yes I know, but technically, I shouldn't be at school. I should be finished by now. Me and Ali aren't doing anything wrong" April couldn't believe Casey was trying to defend his relationship with Aaliyah. She was a teacher and Casey was her student. As far as April was concerned their relationship was wrong on so many levels.

Aaliyah handed Aden a cup of coffee before sitting beside him. "You were right to do what you did" Aden admitted to a relieved Aaliyah" It wasn't the best time to raise a baby. We were both in bad places, I'm just sorry you didn't think you could come to me" Aden noticed the change in Aaliyah's posture. She looked nervous. Aden put his arm around Aaliyah. "I'll always be here for you no matter what, you know that right?" Before Aden could finish his sentence the pair was interrupted by a knock at the door. Aaliyah answered the door and almost died on the spot.

Standing in front of her was a tall, well built, dark haired man. He was wearing dark denim jeans and a white tank top. His muscular arms were covered in tattoos. "Oh my god Dad" Aaliyah finally exclaimed after the initial shock had worn off, she threw her arms a round the man and he hugged her tightly in return "Hello Princess" he replied.

Aden had also stood up to greet the man. He couldn't see him properly at the doorway, but as soon as the man walked into the lounge he took Aden by surprise standing in front of him was Frankie Marsden. One of the most feared men in Summer Bay.

Brax woke up in Charlie's arms, which was something he did a lot quite lately. Maybe a little to much for someone who was in a secret relationship. As Brax looked at Charlie he noticed she had her eyes open and was staring into space "You OK baby?" he asked as he propped himself up to see her better.

"They aren't much different to you and me, you know" Charlie's comment had come out of nowhere. "Aaliyah and Casey I mean, they love eachother so much and yet they have to hide their feelings because of what other people will think" Charlie explained her random outburst to Brax. He nodded simply; he knew what she was getting at.

"Sometimes you just can't help who you fall in love with aye" Brax grinned as he leant forward and kissed her on the lips gently.

Aden was still extremely unnerved by Frankie's arrival. Although Aden had, had his fair share of run ins with a few dodgy people, he had never been sat this close to a gangster, with a reputation as bad as Frankie's, in his whole life.

The only thing that was worrying Aden even more than this man's presence, was the word Aaliyah used for him when he arrived. Aaliyah called Frankie Marsden Dad!
