Hi everyone, glad that you all liked my last chapter. I wanted it to have a bit of drama but no enough to ruin the wedding. I know some of you are dying to know what the secret code means and the mystery behind it and you wanted it to be revealed this chapter but sadly it won't be. I am saving that one for a little further down the track partially because I haven't thought of anything worthy enough to use (like how it came about) So please bear with me and I will reveal all in good time. This is the honeymoon one, the following one with have a bit of the honeymoon in it – the end of it, then I estimate that the birth of their daughter will be maybe three – four chapters away possibly five. I still need ideas for her name both first and middle so please feel free to PM me if you don't want everyone knowing your idea. Also if you have any ideas for future storylines please let me know and I will take them on board. I have been receiving a few messages asking for my opinion on writers stories and I just have to say that it means so much to me that you care and I am more than happy to give my opinion on anyone's story if you would like. It just means so much. Thank you and please review! Dannielle xx

CHARLIE POV
I woke up in my husband's arms, his hand gently resting on my bare stomach. I looked at the clock beside my head 9:30am, I carefully lifted his hand and moved it behind me. I got out of bed and slipped on my pj pants and Brax's shirt over the top. I crept out of our room careful not to wake him and made my way downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and let out a small gasp, at the sight of table that sat in the middle of the room on it lay two place settings, a tray of bacon and eggs, a plate of toast, a pitcher of orange juice and a jug of water. In the middle of the table was a miniature vase with a purple and white rose in it, which I instantly recognised as from one of the bouquets. I stepped closer to the table where I noticed a small folded card, I picked up the creamy pearl card and read the front 'to Mr and Mrs Braxton' was written in beautiful cursive writing which I knew had come from Bella's hand as Ruby's writing looked more like chicken scratch. I tilted the card to read the inside 'please enjoy your first morning as husband and wife with a hearty breakfast, enjoy the quiet' I read and smiled knowing that Ruby and Bella would have had to drag Heath and Casey out of the house this morning especially Heath considering how much he had to drink last night. Brax had by now woken up and planted a soft kiss on my cheek "morning wifey" he said as he sat down across from me "you've been busy" he finished looking at me with smiling eyes "no, actually this is the work of my daughter and your sister" I said laughing as I handed him the pearl card, I watched as he read it carefully a smile soon spreading across his face "those two are very smart indeed" he said leaning over an kissing me gently. We tucked into our delicious breakfast and retired to the bedroom where we spent the morning.
12:00pm
CHARLIE POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, I reached out and pushed the button instantly silencing the annoying beeping. I looked at Brax who was still sleeping. I reached over and pinched his nose blocking the airflow and almost instantly his eyes flew open, I laughed as he looked at me startled and began to tickle me. He knew I hated being tickled as I was extremely ticklish I was squealing begging for him to stop the torture, he stopped looking at me as my face became serious "babe, what is it did I hurt you? Oh my god baby I'm so sorry I didn't mean to I…" I silenced him by grabbing his hand and placing over my stomach, I looked at him grinning madly as I felt our daughter kick… hard "geeze, she really is a Braxton" I said looking at Brax who was grinning wildly "Oh my god, that is amazing" he said as he leaned in to kiss me "that is our little girl" he whispered, I nodded and kissed him with everything I had.
After our daughter had stopped assaulting her mother we decided it was time to get our stuff ready as our flight was due to take off in three hours. I watched from the couch as Brax dragged down my two brown suede suitcases with the letters CB embroidered in white on the front, which I had received as a surprise from Brax as his wedding present to me "babe, please just let me take one" I said he headed up the stairs to get his "no, you're pregnant and I am not jeopardising you or our little girl… no matter what" he said brushing the hair from my eyes "well , let me wheel them out to the taxi and you can lift them into the boot?" I asked hopeful, Brax sighed but nodded "alright but I don't want to see you even attempt to lift one of these bags, they weight a tonne" he said as I slapped his chest gently "hey! I didn't pack that much!" I said cheekily "Charlie, there is nothing left in the wardrobe!" Brax said as he climbed the stairs. I locked the back doors and grabbed my bag and carry-on duffel as I heard the cab driver beep the horn "HONEY, CAB IS HERE!" I called as Brax came jogging around the corner and down the stairs. I wheeled my two cases out to the boot then stood aside as I watched my muscly husband haul them into the back of the car. I climbed in behind him and grabbed his hand and squeezed it as we took off down the lane.
BRAX POV
About 10 minutes later we pulled up at the airport, Charlie grabbed a luggage cart as I loaded our bags onto it. We walked through the doors and stopped at what we saw. Standing before us were Ruby, Casey, Heath, Bianca, Darcy and Bella. I heard Charlie gasp when she saw Bella's face, she had a large purple and blue bruise on the side of her face and a small red cut on her eye. "Oh my god, what are you doing here?" Charlie said walking over and hugging each one of them "We decided to see you off" Ruby said "Oh I'm so glad, I thought that we had missed saying goodbye to you" Charlie said as she hugged Bella "Bella, is this what that awful man did to you last night?" she said as she touched Bella's face, she winced slightly at the pain and nodded.
We had checked our luggage, and were sitting in the lounge talking to everyone when the loudspeaker came on "Flight 546 to Bora Bora is now boarding, I repeat Flight 546 to Bora Bora is now boarding. All passengers please make your way to gate 21 to board you flight. Thank-you" I stood up taking Charlie's hand as we made our way out of the lounge and through to the gates. We handed over our tickets and turned to everyone. We said our goodbye's and started for the gate. I looked down at Charlie who had tears sliding down her face "hey, baby are you alright" I said as we turned to wave to everyone "yeah, I'm just going to miss them all" she said wiping her hand across her face and blowing a kiss to everyone. Bella and Ruby returned the gesture by blowing us both a kiss. We continued up the aero bridge and stepped onto the plane "hello and welcome to flight 546 to Bora Bora, my name is Melissa and I will be one of your flight attendants today, would you like a glass of complementary champagne?" the lady dressed in a neat red suit said "Oh sorry I can't have any alcohol, I am pregnant but I am sure my husband will" Charlie said giggling "Oh, well congratulations, I will get you a glass of orange juice, are you on your honeymoon? " Melissa said handing me a glass "yeah we are, we got married yesterday" I said as I took a sip and handed her our tickets "well congratulations, Mr Braxton you are seated in seat 14A and… oh um Mrs Braxton it seems that you are seated in seat 10A, did you know that you aren't sitting together?" she said looking up at us "what no, I asked for seats together" I said looking at a concerned Charlie "well I will see what I can do, the person in one of your opposite seats may not board the flight so if after we take off no-one is in your opposite seat please feel free to take a seat next to each other, and if that is not an option the I will check to see if we have to seats available, we do not have a full flight today especially in first class so there should be two spare seats available." She said handing us back our tickets as we walked through the curtain.
I took my seat behind Charlie and looked out the window, Charlie passed me a magazine she had brought with her and I began to flick through it. I felt someone move beside me and I looked up to find the person who was going to be taking the seat next to me.
CHARLIE POV
I turned my head when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye, I did a double take when I saw just who would be sitting next to my husband. Before me stood a tall, tan blonde woman who had obviously had some adjustments to the front of her body. "Hello" she said flashing a perfect white grin "my name is Natalia, what is yours?" she said as she stretched up to put her bag in the overhead cabin, her already short white very revealing V neck shirt lifted to reveal her tanned and toned stomach, I saw the glint of a belly button ring and I rolled my eyes "for crying out loud" I muttered as I watched her sit down and lean forward slightly to face my husband "I'm Brax" he said as he took her hand and shook it "Now why is a handsome man like you going to Bora Bora all by yourself" she asked seductively while tracing her index finger over the back of his hand. "oh I'm not actually…" he said before she cut him off "no, now you have me to keep you company" she said leaning forward giving him a perfect view of her plastic chest "horny bitch" I said a little too loudly as she turned her attention to me, I heard Brax laugh softly "oh sorry, not you!" I said trying to hide my flushing cheeks "Cosmo" I said holding up my magazine "you know some of the women in this magazine are just complete sluts!" I said laughing and turning back around in my seat.
"so, where are you staying" Natalia said once again returning her attention to Brax "ah we are staying at the 'Le Meridien Hotel' Brax said "we?" Natalia said again tracing "yeah me and my wife, Natalia this is Charlie… she is my wife, we got married yesterday we are on our honeymoon" Brax said gesturing to me, she quickly pulled her hand back and looked at me with an evil smirk "oh, hi! So the new husband and wife not sitting together… hmm" she said "actually, there was a mix up with our seats" I said rather rudely "you're actually sitting in my seat but that doesn't seem to bother you seeing how desperately you have been flirting with my husband" I said my eyes flashing with anger "well, he was talking back so maybe your marriage isn't as perfect as you think" she said smirking at me "well considering that I am five months pregnant I am pretty sure he is still into me" I said as Melissa came to stand beside my seat "Mr and Mrs Braxton, there are two seats together up the front here would you like to take them?" she asked "we are just about to take off and the doors have been closed so you don't have to worry, besides nobody booked them anyway" she said kindly "that sounds great, honey what do you think?" I said as I grabbed my Country Road duffel and my handbag and stood up "yeah sounds good" Brax said stand up and pulling his back pack out of the cabin overhead "oh wait, we were having such a lovely chat" Natalia said desperately grabbing Brax's hand "yeah, you know what I would much prefer to spend this time with my wife and our daughter" Brax retorted pulling his hand away and slipping it around my waist as we made our way to our new seats.
6 hours later and we were landing in Bora Bora in the French Rivera. I was sitting in the window seat and we were on the left side of the plane so I could see the amazing crystal blue water and cute little thatched roofed huts that stood on stilts in the lagoon "look babe" I said to Brax pointing out the window, he leaned over and looked out the window "wow, it looks amazing" he said. I looked forward as we bumped the ground and came to a halt. We grabbed out bags and headed towards the nearest exit. Melissa was standing at the bottom of the white steel stairs holding flowery leis, she handed me a pretty purple one and handed Brax and yellow one. I slipped mine on and grabbed Brax's hand as we walked across the tarmac.
