"What about Kyle?" Casey suggested, he was surprised Aaliyah hadn't screwed her nose up this time.
"Kyle Scott Braxton" Aaliyah smiled, Casey looked a bit shocked.
"Scott" he exclaimed, Aaliyah nodded.
"Yes, he did save my life Case" Aaliyah said softly
"Yeh but you wouldn't need saving if it wasn't for him" Casey argued.
"Please Casey" Aaliyah asked again.
"Fine Kyle Scott…Hang on did you say Braxton?" It had finally clicked the surname Aaliyah had used was his. Aaliyah nodded.
"Yep" she replied "I figured I would have your surname too one day"
Casey was ecstatic; he never imagined Aaliyah would want to use his surname, maybe hyphenated with Henderson but never just Braxton. Casey kissed Aaliyah on the head, before looking at his baby boy "Welcome to the world Kyle Scott Braxton" he grinned proudly.

It was late when Casey finally went home; he thought Aaliyah would need some rest. Although he hated the thought of leaving his new little family, he knew he would have to go and collect some things from home.
As Casey walked through the door he was surprised to see Aden waiting for him. He got a beer out of the fridge and handed it to Casey "Congratulations man" Aden grinned. Both of them took a swig of beer. "So come on who does he look like?" Aden asked eagerly.
"Mainly his mum, but he's got my eyes" Casey grinned as he took his phone out of his pocket and showed Aden a picture.
"Wow" Aden exclaimed "He's great man, have you picked a name yet?"
"Yeh, Kyle" Casey replied "Hey listen, how's Riley?"
"Fine, I think he'll be better when he's seen his mum, did Aaliyah say when she was…" Aden wondered.
"Tomorrow, Ali wants me to take him in tomorrow" Casey replied "Hey listen I'm gonna get an early night I'm beat" Casey said before disappearing into his bedroom.

Aaliyah was surprised Kyle had only woke her a few time in the night. It was about 7.30 when a midwife came in the check on them. "Hello Miss Henderson how was your night?" she asked softly as she checked the notes on the end of Aaliyah's bed. "Wow 7 lb 12. That's a great weight for an early baby" the nurse said. Aaliyah's eyes widened.
"He was only a couple of weeks early" Aaliyah corrected, she was shocked when the midwife shook her head.
"No honey looking at this your baby was 6 weeks early" The midwife informed her. Aaliyah heart sank as she did the maths in her head. If this was true then this was around the time her and Casey was on a break Shit she thought to herself, Heath must be his dad.
Aaliyah was still in shock when Casey arrived at the hospital with Riley. She managed to put on a front for her son's sake.
"Hey baby" Aaliyah smiled as Riley climbed up onto the bed and looked at his brother.
"So what do you think?" Casey asked him.
"He is kinda cute I guess" Riley smiled as he put his hand on his brother "Can I hold him mum?"
Aaliyah grinned "Yes Buddy of course you can" Aaliyah laid Kyle in Riley's arms and supported him. Riley beamed proudly as he held his brother. Although Aaliyah was extremely happy, she still couldn't stop thinking about what the midwife had said.
Casey picked up on Aaliyah's mood, he waited until Aden came to take Riley home before he said anything.
"Are you ok baby, you have been kind of distracted since we came" Casey asked as he perched on the edge of Aaliyah's bed. Aaliyah shook her head and broke down. "Hey baby what's wrong" Casey moved closer to Aaliyah and put his arms around her.
"The nurse came in and said something" Aaliyah tried to explain
"Is something wrong with him?" Casey cried.
"No but, from what she said. I'm so sorry Casey but I don't think he is your son" the words just stumbled out of Aaliyah's mouth. How the hell she managed to get them all out in the right order she didn't know. But what she did know was how hurt Casey must have been. The look on his face spoke a thousand words.
Casey didn't speak he just got up and walked out. Aaliyah could see the tears in his eyes "Casey please" Aaliyah yelled after him.
Aaliyah was just about to run after him when a different nurse came in. She noticed Aaliyah was distressed "Is something wrong Love" she asked. Aaliyah just cried
"I'm sorry, it's just a midwife came in earlier and she told me he was 6 weeks early and not 2 like I thought he was and I did the math. And he belongs to someone else" Aaliyah blurted it all out to a stunned nurse.
"Hang on, who told you he was that early" the nurse asked.
"Er…the midwife from this morning" Aaliyah sniffed as she wiped her eyes.
"Well she must have read it wrong, because you were right lovey he was only two weeks early" the nurse explained. Aaliyah's heart lifted. Thank god Kyle was Casey's baby. Now all she needed to do was to find him and tell him it was all a misunderstanding.

Casey was sat on the beach when he received the message from Aaliyah Come back Case, its ok the nurse made a mistake. Call me x x
Casey frowned before dialling Aaliyah's number "What do you mean a mistake?"
"Another nurse came and checked the dates and Kyle was definitely on 2 weeks early, Casey he is your son" As Aaliyah explained Casey let out a sigh.
"Casey say something" Aaliyah said nervously.
"I'm on my way" he said before hanging up and walking back towards Angelo's. He was unaware of the young girl who had been watching him.
Summer grinned to herself as she watched Casey walking up the beach. She had heard Aaliyah had given birth, and in her mind this meant she no longer had a hold over Casey.
Summer could finally have him for herself.
