Aden prepared himself for Casey's reaction, he didn't intend on just blurting it out like that.

"You what" Casey spat furiously before punching Aden "Get up" Casey yelled.

Aden stood up again but this time he took Casey down, the men were grappling on the ground as Brax and John Palmer arrived "Alright break it up guys" John yelled as he pulled Aden off Casey. Brax grabbed Casey "What the hell are you doing Case?" Brax said as he tried to hold him back.

"Ask him" Casey snarled as he tried to get free from Brax.

"Calm down Case" Brax snapped as he tightened his grip. Aden didn't reply "What's he talking about?" Brax asked Aden curiously.

"He slept with Aaliyah" Casey announced causing Brax's jaw to drop.

Aaliyah took a deep breath as she sat on the sofa beside Bianca. Aaliyah had called Bianca and asked her to go round. Kyle and Allie were laid on the baby mat and Riley was sat on the other sofa under a blanket playing on his DS.

"So what's the emergency?" Bianca wondered as she sipped her coffee.

"I've done something really stupid" Aaliyah started before lowering her voice to say the next bit "I slept with Aden last night" she whispered causing Bianca to choke on her coffee.

"You what?" She exclaimed.

"Shh" Aaliyah frowned.

"Ok sorry" Bianca was now whispering "You slept with Aden, Why?"

"I don't know it just happened" Aaliyah explained weakly

"So what are you going to do?" Bianca asked curiously.

"I really don't know" Aaliyah replied half heartedly.

"What else is it Ali?" Bianca knew there was something else wrong with Aaliyah.

"Last night when me and Aden…you know…well I think I might have felt something" Bianca was gob smacked at Aaliyah's announcement.

"Wow" Bianca exclaimed trying to think of something helpful to say "Have you spoken to Aden?"

Aaliyah shook her head "No not yet, I don't what to say" Aaliyah replied.

Before either of the woman had chance to say anything else Casey banged loudly on the front door "ALI" he yelled. Aaliyah got up slowly and headed to the door, Casey almost knocked Aaliyah off her feet as he barged his way in "Is it true" he snapped as he turned to face her.

"Case I'm sorry I…" Aaliyah tried to explain her actions but if she was honest she couldn't.

"So you did sleep with Aden last night" Casey yelled "In our bed as well I take it"

"I'm sorry" Aaliyah just stared at the ground and started to sob.

"I'm gonna go" Bianca interrupted as she picked up Allie and headed out of the door "Call me" she said to Aaliyah before leaving. Riley also disappeared into his bedroom

"You said some horrible things to me Casey, I was hurting" Aaliyah said softly.

Casey's expression softened a little as he remembered what he said. "You accused me of being happy our baby died" tears were now filling Aaliyah's eyes.

"I know, I shouldn't have said that but it still doesn't change what you did" Casey replied as he moved closer to Aaliyah "What's happened to us Ali?"

"I don't know" Aaliyah whispered. Casey put his hand up to Aaliyah's face and looked into her eyes.

"I haven't been there for you like I should have been and I'm sorry" Casey said softly. As Casey spoke Aaliyah realised exactly where she wanted to be. It was at that moment she realised her night with Aden was a slip up, the feelings she had been feeling were a mixture of guilt and history. Aaliyah loved Casey more than anything and she was hoping that her stupid mistake hadn't cost her everything she has ever wanted.

"I hate myself for what I've done, but last night when you walked out I thought we were over. Casey my whole world is crashing down around me and I don't know what to cling on to anymore" Aaliyah broke down and Casey hugged her tightly "I'm so scared"

Casey could feel Aaliyah's tears soaking through his shirt "Shh, its ok" Casey whispered "I'm here now and I'm never gonna let you go again"

Aaliyah looked up and kissed Casey, she frowned as he pulled away "I want to ask you something, but I need to tell you something first" Casey seemed worried.

"Case what's wrong?" Aaliyah wondered, she took a step back and waited for Casey to answer.

"I did something while I was away" Casey started "I slept with someone else that's why it took me so long to come home, I couldn't face you"

Aaliyah had tears in her eyes. Casey's words hit Aaliyah like a tonne of bricks, but she knew after what she had done, she had no right to be angry. Aaliyah just nodded, before she had chance to speak she was interrupted by the house phone ringing.

Casey watched Aaliyah curiously as she spoke on the phone he had guessed it was probably the hospital, he noticed a grin creep across her face as she hung up and walked back to him "You ok?" Casey wondered.

"They've found a match for Riley" Aaliyah grinned. Casey picked Aaliyah up and spun her round before gently putting her back on the floor.

"Who is it?" Casey asked with the same grin Aaliyah was wearing.

"It's Johnny" Aaliyah smiled "Johnny's a match" Aaliyah started to cry but this time she was crying happy tears. Casey pulled Aaliyah into a tight hug and kissed her on the top of her head.

"We'll be ok won't we?" she whispered.

"Course we will and besides now we're even" Casey smiled "I love you so much Aaliyah Henderson"

"I love you too" Aaliyah was relieved.

When Casey walked through her door earlier Aaliyah was sure she had lost him forever, maybe Casey was right maybe they were meant to be together. Aaliyah frowned as she felt Casey pull away "What's wrong?" she asked nervously.

"Marry me" Casey whispered.

"What?" Aaliyah replied she wasn't sure if she had heard him correctly.

"Marry me, look I know its sudden but after everything we have been through I think its about time we stopped playing games and make it official" Casey wasn't sure if he had been too bold when he saw the look on Aaliyah's face.

"But if it's too soon we can hold off until…" Casey tried to retract his proposal.

"Yes" Aaliyah said quickly.

"What?" Casey asked with half a smile.

"Yes, I'll have to talk to Johnny about it but…I love you Casey Braxton always have, always will. Of course I want to marry you" Aaliyah grinned.

"You're marrying him?" Aden frowned as he dropped his bag on the floor "After what we did last night, you're marrying Casey" Aden spat "You let me think we had a chance of being together again, but all you were doing was using me to make you feel better"

"Aden I'm sorry, I" Aaliyah said as she tried to grab Aden's arm but he pulled it away.

"Don't touch me" Aden spat almost knocking Aaliyah over, Casey stepped forward and pulled Aaliyah away from Aden "I should have guessed this would happen, your still the dirty little bitch you were 2 years ago" Aden yelled as he stormed out of the house and slammed the door behind him.

Casey pulled Aaliyah into a hug and kissed her temple "You sure you wanna do this?" Casey sighed.

"What you mean get married?" Aaliyah questioned him curiously.

"Yeah" Casey replied.

"You know I am" Aaliyah snuggled her head into Casey's chest as she answered and inhaled deeply. She was exactly where she wanted to be at that moment in time. Aaliyah loved Casey and it was at this moment that she realised she couldn't cope with a future without him.
