Aaliyah handed her dad the cup of tea he had asked for, not exactly very gangster's paradise, Aden thought quietly to himself. Aaliyah sat down next to Aden and Frank sat in the chair opposite them "I see Johnny's been providing for you pretty well" Frank said breaking the awkward silence. Aaliyah nodded.

"Yeah, it's a nice place, Dad what are you doing here?" Aaliyah was curious as too what had brought her father here.

"Your mother got in contact with me and told me about Lexi and what happened with Johnny. I just wanted to make sure my little girl was safe" Frank replied simply.

Aden was still felt a little uneasy around this man. "How long you in town for?" he finally picked up the courage to ask.

"Just tonight, I told Johnny I would pay him a visit. I'm not happy about what he did to you Ali, but I think he deserves the chance to explain himself" Frank explained. "So I can see you have some news you want to tell me" he added as his attention was pulled towards Aaliyah's baby bump. Aaliyah rested her hand over the top of it instinctively and nodded.

"Yeah, this little one should be gracing us with their presence in a couple of months" She smiled. Aaliyah noticed the deathly look Frank was giving Aden at this point "It's not his baby dad, Aden's just a friend who lives with me"

"So where is the dad?" Frank asked.

"Oh he lives next door" Aden interrupted quickly when he noticed the way Frank was staring at him.

"Oh so he's a Braxton?" Frank seemed quite happy with that fact. Aaliyah wasn't sure how happy her dad would be if he knew which one, but she thought it would be best to let him make his own assumptions.

After another hour, Frank finally decided to leave, but not before giving Aaliyah a contact number, in case she ever needed him and a roll of notes which had belonged to Johnny. He also popped into Riley's bedroom and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead so not to wake him.

Aden just stared at Aaliyah with his eye brows raised when she came and sat next to him again. "Dad, seriously?" he teased as he sat down.

"Er…yeah, I don't see too much of him though, but he does try and pop in every now and then" Aaliyah smiled.

Aaliyah had arrived early for school as usual. As she sat preparing her first lesson, she couldn't help thinking about her dad's visit last night. Aaliyah knew her dad, and she knew it was more than just a flying visit. Aaliyah wondered exactly what her mum had told him. Her thoughts were interrupted when Gina brought in a projector; Aaliyah needed it for her year 12 class later that morning. "Thanks Gina" Aaliyah smiled.

"No problem" Gina said as she left the room.

Aaliyah set up the projector so it was ready for her lesson with the year 12 students; she was interrupted again by a familiar smile.

"Hey you" she giggled as she watched him walk into her classroom and shut the door. It was Casey.

"You didn't text back this morning" he whispered as he wrapped his arms around Aaliyah's waist.

"I didn't hear my phone" Aaliyah pulled Casey in for a quick kiss; they both jumped away quickly when they heard her first class coming in. Aaliyah headed over to her phone on the desk and had a quick look at the message. She was surprised when she realised she had two messages Hey baby, missed you last night, can't wait to see you later, love you Case x x. The first one was obviously from Casey, but the second number she didn't recognise her heart almost stopped as she opened the text, it was picture of her and Casey together in the City and underneath it were the words secrets will come out, tick tock.

"Are you ok Miss?" one of her students asked regaining Aaliyah's attention.

"Er…yes thank you Abby" Aaliyah replied quickly, stuffing her phone inside her bag.

After her first lesson Aaliyah had become extremely worried, she had no idea who had sent the text message. She was however pleased to see Casey was a part of her next class. Aaliyah some how felt settled when he was in the room. Casey could sense there was something wrong with his girlfriend as soon as he walked in the room. Casey gritted his teeth as he saw Summer walk into the class room and sit herself right at the front, just opposite Aaliyah's desk. Aaliyah didn't let Summer put her off, she glanced quickly at Casey before climbing on a chair to get the box of books off the top of the cabinet.

"Er…can someone turn the projector on please" Aaliyah asked. Casey got up to do it but Summer rushed their first.

"I'll do it" she sang as she hurried over the monitor, before quickly switching the sheet over and turning it on. Casey's eyes widened as he looked at the huge picture of him and Aaliyah plastered on the wall. The other students gasped and giggled, Aaliyah wasn't sure what was going on so she turned to see. As she turned she missed her footing causing her to fall heavily of the chair, pulling the box of text books on top of her. Casey stood quickly and rushed to her "Ali" he said as he got closer to her. Aaliyah was unconscious.

Summer was horrified, although she was jealous of Casey and Aaliyah's relationship. She never meant for Aaliyah to get seriously hurt. "You bitch are you satisfied now" Casey spat as he turned toward Summer.

"Casey" a faint voice coughed, interrupting his fury. Aaliyah had come round; Casey quickly helped Aaliyah to her feet.

"We should get you to hospital" Casey suggested. Aaliyah nodded, as Aaliyah and Casey walked up the corridor they were interrupted by Bianca "Oh my god Ali what happened?" she asked.

"She fell off a chair she was standing on" Casey explained.

"OK, Casey you go back to your class I'll take her to hospital" Bianca ordered. Casey wasn't happy about leaving Aaliyah, but he knew it would be for the best. Bianca arranged for someone to cover her's and Aaliyah's classes.

April ran into Casey in the corridor "Casey's what's going on" she asked when she noticed to look on his face.

"She fell off a chair" Casey replied numbly.

"Oh my god, is she ok?" April was worried about Aaliyah and what she had recently discovered about her baby.

"I don't know, Summer has outed us" Casey's voice was still empty, April realised he must have been in shock.

"Casey you need to go to the hospital" April's comment shocked Casey back to reality.

"What?" he questioned, April grabbed both his arms and looked straight into is eyes.

"I was wrong what I said before, I know love isn't just black and white. I have seen the way you two look at eachother, and if the age gap doesn't matter to you then why should it matter to anyone else" April smiled "Now go, I'll cover for you"

Casey didn't need much persuading he turned quickly and ran out of the door and headed straight for the hospital.

Bianca and Aaliyah waited patiently for the doctor, both women were stunned when Casey arrived at the hospital. He completely ignored Bianca's existence and hugged Aaliyah. Bianca looked confused "What the hell are you..." suddenly the realisation hit her "Oh my god, its Casey's baby isn't it?" Bianca couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Ali, how could you be so stupid? You told me it was over between you" Bianca screeched.

"We tried to stay away from eachother, we really did but…" Aaliyah tried to explain before being interrupted by Sid. He had brought a heartbeat machine into the room. Bianca got up quickly and rushed out of the room, she was struggling to take it all in.

"Bianca" Aaliyah called after her friend, but Bianca didn't stop.

Sid was a little concerned as too how close Aaliyah and Casey were sat together; Casey had hold of her hand tightly while they waited to hear the baby's heartbeat. Both of them grinned widely when they finally heard it. Although Sid had a idea what was going on, he decided to keep it to himself.

Bianca had waited to give Aaliyah and Casey a lift to school, although she was furious with them both. She hadn't stopped caring about them.

"Do you not think now would be a good time to tell Gina?" Bianca suggested "She will only find out from another student anyway"

Aaliyah knew Bianca was right, so she decided her first place to go would be Gina's office. Aaliyah took a deep breath as she walked into the room Gina smiled; she obviously hadn't heard the news. Luckily for Aaliyah, Gina had been in a meeting all morning and had only just got back, so she was oblivious to what had happened.

"Is everything ok?" Gina was worried to see the distress on Aaliyah's face.

"Gina there is something I need to tell you?" Aaliyah took a deep breath; Bianca closed the door and stood next to her friend "I've been having an intimate relationship with a student" Aaliyah's words shocked Gina completely.

"Who?" Gina asked.

"Casey Braxton" Gina's eye's widened as Aaliyah told her the students name.

"Ok, so how serious is this relationship?" Gina had a feeling she already knew how serious but she was hoping she could have be mistaken.

"It's his baby" Aaliyah confessed as she put her hand on her stomach. Gina just slumped in her chair. Bianca took hold of Aaliyah's other hand. None of the women spoke for a few moments before Gina finally took a breath and looked up at Aaliyah. She opened the mouth and spoke…

Another cliff hanger for you all, eek so the cats out of the bag, what do you think should happen next?
