Aaliyah was horrified as she lifted the covers gently and looked underneath, the only thing she had on was her red panties "Shit" she gasped when she noticed Brax was only wearing his boxers.

"Brax, Brax wake up" she whispered as she shook him frantically.

"URGH What" he moaned as he turned his face away from her.

"Brax wake up NOW" Aaliyah snapped Brax groaned loudly as he lifted his head off the pillow and turned to face Aaliyah.

"What the hell happened last night?" Aaliyah cried as she sat up a little holding the covers tightly around her chest.

"What you don't remember...wounded" Brax grinned widely. He burst out laughing when he noticed the horrified expression on Aaliyah's face "Relax I'm kidding, nothing happened"

"But I'm nearly naked" Aaliyah frowned as she checked herself again.

"Yeh well you insisted on taking your clothes off, don't worry I waited in the lounge until you fell asleep, then I came back in here to make sure you didn't choke or swallow you tongue in your sleep" Brax explained.

"What so we didn't have sex or kiss or do anything like that at all?" Aaliyah asked.

"Nah, what do you take me for you're carrying my brothers kid" Brax replied as he threw his head back on the pillow.

"Oh thank god" Aaliyah sighed as she too laid back on the pillow.

"Mind you now I have got you in my bed practically naked maybe we could…" Brax teased.

"Shut up" Aaliyah laughed as she hit Brax with her pillow, she stood up with the duvet wrapped around her and shuffled around gathering her clothes.

Aaliyah made Brax turn his back as she got dressed, Brax smiled when he turned round just in time to see her putting on her shoes "He loves you, you know" Brax said softly.

"Yeah I know" Aaliyah replied.

"You scared me last night Ali, getting drunk while your pregnant it's not like you" Brax hoped his comment wouldn't annoy Aaliyah and to his surprise it didn't.

"I know, I scared myself" Aaliyah replied "And thanks"

Casey was relieved when he heard a key turning in the door "Oh thank god" he cried as he shot up off the sofa and rushed towards Aaliyah "I'm so sorry I love you" he said as he kissed Aaliyah passionately.

Aaliyah returned his kiss for a few moments before pulling away gently "I need to take a shower, we can talk after" she smiled before heading into the bathroom.

Aaliyah reappeared after 20 minutes she was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a red floaty vest top. Riley and Kyle were now in the lounge with Casey; Aaliyah walked to Casey and sat beside him on the sofa "So where were you last night?" Casey wondered.

"Next door" Aaliyah replied calmly. Casey's head flicked up to look at her.

"What?" he asked in an angry tone.

"I slept in Brax's bed, he took the sofa" Aaliyah smiled trying to change Casey's mood.

"Why didn't you answer my calls?" Casey wondered

"I was angry Casey, you basically said Riley wasn't part of this family" Aaliyah lowered her voice when she mentioned Riley.

"That's not what I meant and you know it?" Aaliyah noticed Casey's voice was getting angrier.

"Really well that's not how it sounded to me" Aaliyah replied harshly.

"I'm the one who feels like an outsider Ali" Casey argued.

"You, for god sake Casey will you grow up. None of this is about you" Aaliyah snapped "But then again maybe that's the problem, none of this is about you"

Casey's eyes widened at Aaliyah's suggestion he just grabbed his jacket and walked out "What's the matter Casey have I hit a nerve" Aaliyah yelled after him, before slumping in a chair.

"Are you ok mum?" Riley asked as he hugged his mum "This is my fault isn't it" Riley whispered.

"No baby, this isn't your fault. It's just grown ups can be silly sometimes" Aaliyah sighed as she hugged Riley tightly. She had no idea how to deal with this by herself. And all she and Casey kept doing was fighting. There was only one thing she could do. Aaliyah called Aden and asked him to watch the kids while she went out for a couple of hours.

Aaliyah frowned as she walked towards the table she saw a familiar face sitting at. Aaliyah hadn't seen him since that terrifying day at the school. She took a deep breath before sitting down in front of him "Hello beautiful" he smiled as he watched her sit down.

"Hello Johnny" Aaliyah replied as she looked into his eyes.

"The guard said you had something to tell me?" Johnny said as he moved closer to Aaliyah "Don't tell me you and the school boy are getting married" Johnny grinned. His face dropped when he saw the troubled look on Aaliyah's face.

"Hey baby what is it?" he asked curiously.

"It's Riley" Aaliyah couldn't hold back the tears, they just flowed

"What about him?" Johnny was terrified he had no idea what Aaliyah was about to tell him.

Aaliyah took a deep breath "He's got Leukaemia" Aaliyah sobbed, Johnny quickly pulled her towards him and hugged her tightly. Much to the dismay of the prison guard, as they walked towards Johnny and Aaliyah, Johnny pulled away quickly. Aaliyah realised he too had tears in his eyes. Johnny cupped Aaliyah's face in his hands.

"What have the doctors said?" he asked gently.

"They are going to start him on chemo next week, then see how it goes" Aaliyah explained.

"What if that doesn't work?" Johnny asked quickly. Aaliyah noticed Johnny was asking all the questions she had asked the doctor herself. It was at that moment Aaliyah realised Johnny was the only other person in the whole world who knew what she was going through.

"Then he'll need a bone marrow transplant" Aaliyah whispered.

"I want to be tested" Johnny said quickly "Hey Ali look at me" Johnny said as he took Aaliyah's hand, causing glares from the prison guards again "For fuck sake I can't even comfort you" Johnny snapped as he banged his fist on the table.

"Its ok, Johnny please calm down" Aaliyah said softly trying to calm him down. Aaliyah's pleas calmed him instantly.

"I'll speak to the doctor and find out how you go about getting tested" Aaliyah smiled weakly.

Aaliyah never thought in a million years she would say this but being with Johnny actually helped her deal with things.

When Aaliyah arrived home she was shocked to find Kyle in his crib and Aden sat on the sofa with Riley.

"Hey Ali, you ok?" Aden asked as he watched Aaliyah walk into the kitchen.

"Yeh I'm fine" Aaliyah smiled.

"Hey listen I promised Riley I would take him for an ice-cream when you got back, is that ok?" Aden wondered. Aaliyah just nodded "Yeh fine" she smiled.

Aaliyah said goodbye to Aden and gave Riley a kiss, before heading into the bathroom and turning on the shower. Aaliyah headed back into the lounge wrapped in her dressing gown to lock the door. As she headed back towards the bathroom she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, before she had chance to reach for the house phone Aaliyah collapsed.

As Heath walked towards the front door he was surprised to hear Kyle screaming, Casey wasn't far behind him. Casey looked through the window and was horrified; he could see Aaliyah lying face down on the floor in the lounge "ALI" Casey yelled as he used his body to force open the door.

The front door swung open and Casey rushed to Aaliyah grabbing her arm and turning her round, he felt for a pulse.

Heath dialled for an ambulance immediately as he watched Casey frantically searching for pulse "Casey is it there" Heath cried.

"Yes, oh thank god. Yeh its there but its week" Casey replied as he kissed Aaliyah's face "Hold on Baby, just hold on"

As Casey held Aaliyah in his arms Heath rushed into the bedroom and took Kyle out of his crib before heading into the bathroom to turn off the shower.

When Heath walked back into the lounge he saw Casey was still sat in the same position, he was clinging on to Aaliyah's lifeless body for dear life. Heath had never been the kind of person to pray. But right now he was praying to every kind of god that this woman would be ok.

Ok please let me know what you think of this much love Nikki x x x

Will Aaliyah and the baby be ok?

Casey turns to Aden for help.

The doctors find a match for Riley?
