Aaliyah had already got out of bed when Casey woke up. He decided to go and look for her.
Casey grinned widely when he saw her stood in the kitchen wearing his t-shirt, he was shocked when he got closer to her and realised she was crying.
"Hey what's wrong?" Casey asked as he slipped his arms around her waist.
"Our baby never sleeps; I look like a skip rat and now the coffee filters broken. I can't even have coffee" she cried. Casey laughed a little before pulling Aaliyah into a tight hug. He pulled her away gently and looked at her.
"Baby, listen to me Kyle is asleep why don't you go for a nice hot bath and I'll go next door for some coffee" Casey smiled as he wiped Aaliyah's tears away.
"No you can't go next door, what if he wakes up while I'm in the bath" Aaliyah panicked.
"Ok, ok I'll call Brax and ask him to bring some over" Casey replied, Aaliyah sighed and nodded before disappearing into the bathroom.

After Aaliyah had finished in the bath she headed into the bedroom and slipped into a pink summer dress. Her hair was still wrapped in a towel. Aaliyah was surprised she hadn't heard Kyle for almost an hour so she headed into the lounge, She couldn't help but smile when she saw Brax stood holding Kyle.
"Feel better baby?" Casey said as he handed her a cup of coffee.
"Yes much better, thanks for this Brax" Aaliyah smiled when she remembered why Brax was there. "Hey did you wanna stay for breakfast? It's the least I can do"
"I can't I've gotta be at work in 10, another time though aye?" Brax replied as he handed Kyle back to Aaliyah "SeeYa buddy" he whispered to the baby before heading for the door.
As he walked out Brax turned back to Casey "Hey don't forget 7.30" he called to Casey.
"What's happening at 7.30?" Aaliyah wondered.
"I'm meeting the boys for a few drinks, wet the baby's head. But if you need me here I can cancel" Casey said quickly
"What? No don't be silly, I'll be fine besides maybe I could give Bianca a call" Aaliyah gave Casey a kiss on the cheek and carried on cooking breakfast.

Aaliyah was looking forward to seeing Bianca. It was nearly 8pm when Bianca finally arrived at Aaliyah's house; Bianca was only 3 weeks off her due date. She had started to waddle like a duck.
Aaliyah checked on Riley and Kyle before finally joining Bianca back in the lounge "I still can't believe how skinny you are, the weights just dropped off you" Bianca moaned.
"You've only got 3 weeks then you can get your figure back too" Aaliyah smiled as she offered Bianca a chocolate.
"So how are things with you and Casey now?" Bianca wondered.
"Yeh great, I know this sounds horrible but if I'm honest I didn't think he would stick around for this long" Aaliyah sighed.
"Oh come on Ali, its obvious how much he loves you" Bianca interrupted.

Casey was having a great night with Heath, Brax and some of the other River Boys, the drinks were flowing. Casey's mood changed though when he spotted Summer arrive with some of her friends from school. "What's she doing here?" Casey said as he took a swig from his bottle of beer.
"Who is she?" Heath wondered.
"Summer, she's the girl who outed mine and Ali's relationship" Casey replied still watching Summer.
"Well to be fair Case didn't she do you guys a favour. I mean at least now you and Aaliyah don't have to sneak around anymore" one of the boy's interrupted. Casey agreed, but he was still furious with summer for all the drama she caused.
As the boys continued to drink and mess around, Casey was shocked to see Summer approach him "Hi" she said sheepishly. Summer wasn't sure of the reception she would get from Casey.
"Leave me alone Summer" Casey snapped harshly.
"Please Casey I'm sorry, let me buy you a drink to apologise. Help you to wet the baby's head" Summer smiled. Casey reluctantly agreed to her gesture.
Later in the evening Casey decided to get some air. He wasn't feeling too great; he thought maybe the alcohol was finally kicking in. It wasn't until the fresh air hit him that he started to feel dizzy. He sat on the bench and tried to gather himself. As he watched everything spin, he saw a familiar face sat beside him, it was Summer.

Aaliyah and Bianca had a good night; Aaliyah couldn't remember the last time she laughed so hard. A night in with Bianca was just what she needed.
After saying goodbye to Bianca, Aaliyah gave Kyle his late feed before finally heading to bed. She was exhausted; she checked her phone before climbing into bed. Aaliyah was only in bed a few minutes before drifting off to sleep.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was 7am when Aaliyah woke up; she was surprised Casey wasn't laid next to her. She had expected him to be at home and in bed by now. She grabbed her dressing gown and headed into the kitchen, there was no sign of him there either.
Aaliyah didn't panic though; she just assumed he must have stayed next door. She made herself a drink before heading back to bed. Aaliyah wanted to make the most of the peace and quiet before Riley and Kyle woke up.

As Casey's eyes opened he was horrified, he looked round frantically. It wasn't until he sat up that he realised where he was, or rather where he wasn't.
He was laid in bed in a pink room, as he looked to his left he noticed a girl was laid with her back to him; Casey could see his clothes in a heap on the bedroom floor. Casey shot out of bed and started to get dressed. As the girl turned he was stunned when he realised it was Summer "Morning" she grinned with a cheeky expression on her face.
"What the hell am I doing here?" Casey cried as he continued to get dressed.
"What you mean you don't remember?" Summer asked with a saddened look on her face
"Did we?" Casey winced as he waited for her reply.
"Oh my god yes…it was amazing" Summer grinned. Casey staggered backwards; he couldn't believe he had done this to Aaliyah. All Casey was think about was getting home.

Aaliyah was feeding Kyle when Casey came rushing through the door "Baby I'm so sorry" he exclaimed as he knelt in front of her and kissed her head.
"Where have you been?" Aaliyah asked, she had started to worry abo9ut him.
"Oh I Er…crashed at one of the boy's, it was late when we left Angelo's and I didn't want to wake you" Casey lied. Aaliyah nodded, she stood up and put Kyle in his crib.
"Do you want some breakfast?" she asked as she headed into the kitchen.
"Yeh, I'm just gonna go for a shower ok?" Casey called as he headed into the bathroom.
Aaliyah smiled as she watched him disappear "Knock, Knock" a familiar voice from the door made her jump. It was Aden "Hey" Aaliyah smiled as she walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"I just came to pick up that last box" Aden said as he pulled away "And to get a quick peek at this little one" he was now standing over the crib. "Oh my god Al, he's beautiful"
"Thanks, you sticking around for breakfast" Aaliyah said as she headed towards her phone, it had just beeped.
"Yeh ok" Aden replied, he noticed Aaliyah's demeanour had changed "Ali, are you ok?" he asked as he got up and headed towards her. He looked over her shoulder and saw what she was looking at. Right there on the screen was a picture of Summer and Casey in bed together asleep; under the picture was a message wonder where he got to last night?
"Hey, something smells good" Casey said as he casually walked out of the bathroom, he looked up and saw both Aden and Aaliyah staring at him "Aden, I didn't hear you…"
"How could you?" Aaliyah lost her temper and flew at Casey, Aden restrained her "How could you sleep with her?" Aaliyah was struggling.
Casey realised Aaliyah must know about what happened last night "Baby I…" Casey tried before being interrupted.
"Get out" Aaliyah screamed "GET OUT"
"Mum what's going on?" Riley had been woken by all the shouting.
"Nothing Baby" Aaliyah walked over to Riley and picked him up "I want him out of here" she said to Aden before disappearing into the bedroom with Riley. Casey tried to go after her but Aden grabbed his arm.
"You heard what she said mate" Aden said calmly "She's wants you to leave"
Casey gave in; he knew there was no point talking to Aaliyah while she was like this. He walked out of the door and straight into the Braxton's.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Heath and Brax had heard the shouting coming from next door; they were shocked when Casey walked through their door "Hey Casey, what's going on?" Brax asked curiously.
"I've done something really stupid, and now I've lost everything" Casey said as he walked into the kitchen, heath was leaning up against the work surface.
"Nah, man it's just a lovers tiff. I'm sure you can fix it" Heath said trying to reassure his brother "What's happened?"
"I think I slept with Summer last night" Casey sighed, Heath was furious he stood up straight and punched Casey in the face. Brax quickly intervened.
"How could you be so stupid? You had everything Casey…everything and you just threw it away" Heath couldn't believe what he was hearing, Heath would have given anything to be in Casey's position.
Brax knew telling Heath about this wasn't a good idea, he knew how Heath felt about Aaliyah. Brax had anticipated this reaction the minute Casey told them about Summer. Heath just pushed Brax off him and stormed off out of the house. Brax just looked at Casey; he had no idea what to say.

After calming down and talking to Riley, Aaliyah finally went back into the lounge. She sat on the sofa and Aden handed her a glass of water "Thanks" Aaliyah said softly as she took the glass off Aden.
Aden knew Aaliyah was fighting back the tears, he sat down beside her "I still can't believe he would do something like this. Is it me, have I done something wrong?" Aaliyah was searching for an explanation.
"No, course its not you" Aden replied.
"Maybe I expected too much of him, I mean being a dad. Perhaps everyone was right, he is too young" Aaliyah sniffed. Aden cupped Aaliyah's face in his hands "Ali, listen to me. Even if he did get scared there is no excuse for this. You have done nothing wrong" Aden whispered gently. He could see her eyes fill up with tears.
"I love him so much" Aaliyah broke down in Aden's arms, after everything her and Casey had been through why was he giving up on her now?
