Casey was now stood pacing the corridor of the hospital waiting for news on Aaliyah.
"What happened?" Bianca cried as she rushed through the double doors.
"She was unconscious when we found her" Casey stuttered he was still trying to get his head around what he had seen "How did you?" Casey wondered how Bianca had found out.
"Oh I saw Heath on the beach he was telling Aden" Bianca explained she paused when she saw Sid walk towards them.
"Well" Casey asked anxiously. Sid frowned when he saw Bianca standing next to Casey "Sid"
"I'm afraid Aaliyah's pregnancy was ectopic" Sid explained "The baby was developing in the fallopian tubes causing them to rupture"
"Oh my god" Bianca exclaimed with her hand on her mouth "Will she be ok?"
"We have removed the damaged tube and managed to stop the bleeding so Aaliyah should be fine. She is in recovery and should be awake in an hour or so" Sid smiled. Bianca was relieved but Casey didn't show any emotions at all. He just turned and walked out of the hospital "Casey" Sid called after him.
"Casey, Casey" Bianca yelled as she tried to catch up with Casey "Where are you going?" Bianca asked as she grabbed Casey's arm.
"I can't be here" he replied before pulling his arm away and disappearing. Bianca was stunned and angry with Casey for just walking out on Aaliyah like this. She desperately wanted to run after him but Bianca knew someone would need to be with Aaliyah when she woke up.

After a few days in hospital Aaliyah was finally allowed home Aden had collected her and took her home. Aaliyah tried her hardest to hide the fact she was devastated Casey hadn't been to see her. Aaliyah didn't say a lot when she got home she just walked into Riley's bedroom and gave him a hug.
Aden decided he would go next door and find out what was going on with Casey. Aden knocked loudly on the door and Brax answered "Where is he?" Aden spat as he barged past Brax.
"He's not here" Brax replied as he closed the door behind Aden
"You're kidding right, where is he then?" Aden was furious that Casey had just left Aaliyah to it.
"I don't know up coast somewhere" Aden could tell Brax wasn't impressed with his brother either.
"I don't believe this" Aden said before walking out, as he slammed the door behind him he walked straight into Bianca.
"Hi Aden, have you spoken to him?" Bianca wonder if Aden had spoken to Casey
"He's skipped town" Aden snapped, Bianca was stunned.
"He's what, how could he do that to her?" Bianca gasped. Aden just shrugged as he opened the door and let Bianca walk in first "How is she?" Bianca whispered.
"She's fine thanks" Aaliyah interrupted, Bianca rushed to her and hugged her tightly. Aaliyah broke down in Bianca's arms. Aden felt a mixture of fury and pain as he watched Aaliyah break down like this.

Casey had been away for almost 3 weeks with no word to Aaliyah, Brax had gone to look for him. Aden and Bianca and pulled together to help Aaliyah with Riley and Kyle, even Heath had stepped up to help out.
Riley was now into his Chemo full swing and it was making him extremely sick, Aaliyah didn't leave his side even when he was asleep.
It was a bout 10pm, Riley had fallen asleep in Aaliyah's arms and Kyle was asleep in his crib. Aaliyah had been sat in Riley's room for almost an hour when she was disturbed by a gentle tapping on the bedroom door.
"I've made you some tea" Aden whispered as he walked into Riley's bedroom. He handed Aaliyah the cup of tea.
"Thanks" Aaliyah smiled as she slid off Riley's bed and walked into the lounge. As Aaliyah walked through the door she saw Casey standing on the rug next to the sofa. Fury took over Aaliyah as she walked towards Casey and slapped him straight round the face sending Casey flying "Where have you been?" she yelled in a whisper.
"I needed time to think" Casey replied as he rubbed his stinging face.
"You need time…Do you have any idea what you left me to deal with by myself" Aaliyah cried as she almost launched at Casey again. Aden grabbed Aaliyah instinctively.
"Not completely by yourself" Casey replied harshly as he looked at Aden "At least my baby isn't an inconvenience for you anymore"
Tears filled Aaliyah's eyes as Casey spoke the harsh words to her "Get out" she gasped as she turned towards Aden and put her arms around him.
"You need to leave" Aden warned as he held Aaliyah tightly.
Casey just turned and left quietly he knew he wasn't going to win this. Aaliyah stood for a few moments wrapped tightly in Aden's arms before pulling away gently and looking up into his eyes. She moved her hand up his chest slowly and put it on the back of his neck, before pulling Aden towards her for a kiss. Aden kissed her back for a few seconds before pulling away.
"Ali, this is only going to complicate things" he sighed as he tried to cool off; Aaliyah's kiss had re-ignited a flame in Aden, the same flame that used to burn inside him when they were together.
"I don't care" Aaliyah replied as she moved forward to kiss him again "The only thing I want right now is you" she added as she pulled him towards her again and pulled his t-shirt over his head. She took him by the hand and led him into her bedroom; Aden gently kissed the back of Aaliyah's neck as he followed her.
As they walked into the bedroom Aaliyah closed the door behind them before turning back to Aden "Are you sure you want to do this?" Aden whispered in between kisses. Aaliyah nodded before pushing Aden back onto the bed and climbing on top of him, she was now sat on him with her legs either side of his waist. She leant down to kiss him again but this time Aden sat up with her he gently unbuttoned her shirt and slipped it off before reaching round her back and unclasping her bra.
Aaliyah reached down and unfastened Aden's belt. Aden reached around the back of Aaliyah's neck and turned her round so she was now laid flat against the bed and he was in between her raised legs. Aaliyah pulled Aden closer to her and kissed him passionately, Aaliyah bit her lip and exhaled deeply as she felt Aden enter her, she closed her eyes as she felt his hands running up and down her body.
Aaliyah felt her heart racing as her breathing got heavier she was now groaning softly as Aden moved inside her, she could feel the blood rushing around her body as Aden picked up the pace, before finally coming inside her. Aden gave Aaliyah one last kiss before standing up "I should go" he whispered.
"Stay with me" Aaliyah replied as she grabbed Aden's hand. Aden slipped his boxers back on and laid on the bed beside Aaliyah, he pulled the covers up around them and put his arm out so she could snuggle into him.

The next morning came extremely quickly Aaliyah headed into the kitchen wearing Aden's t-shirt. Aden had already left the house when Aaliyah woke up he had gone for a surf.

Aden was surprised to see Casey waiting for him when he came out of the water, Casey seemed upset "What" Aden frowned as he grabbed his towel.
"I know what I said to Aaliyah was unforgivable, but now she won't talk to me" Casey said nervously "I rang her last night and when I went round today she wouldn't answer, I need you to talk to her for me"
Aden was less than impressed by Casey's suggestion "Why can't you talk to her yourself?" he frowned
"Haven't you been listening to me, she won't answer my calls" Casey replied
"What and you're surprised?" Aden snapped "Look I'm sorry, you're asking he wrong person"
"Please she'll listen to you, I don't know what else I can do to fix this" Casey pleaded.
"I can't Casey, even if I wanted too it's too complicated now" Aden tried to explain why he couldn't help Casey.
"What do you mean complicated?" Casey wondered what Aden was trying to tell him.
"I'm really sorry Casey but the reason I can't help you is because I'm not sure how I feel about Ali myself. We slept together last night" Aden explained.
The last thing Aden wanted to do was complicate things between Aaliyah and Casey but he didn't feel comfortable helping Casey, when he wasn't sure how he felt about Aaliyah himself.
