Hey everyone, I hope you liked the last chapter I have seen pictures of Bora Bora and thought that it would be such a nice place to have them honeymoon rather than the typical places that everyone seems to be using like Hawaii or Bali etc. Anyway I am speeding this chapter up a bit to the last part of their honeymoon so that I can continue on with the story and the baby. Anyway hope you like this chapter and please remember to review I would love to hear what you think and your opinions. Review! Dannielle x ;)

CHARLIE POV
I woke up to the warm sun streaming in through the white curtains that were blowing in the breeze, I reached behind me for Brax but felt the empty bed. I sat up and climbed out of bed and checked the bathroom, then the kitchen and finally I headed out onto the deck where I saw him swimming around in the water, I smiled before skipping back inside and changing into my summer yellow bikini and climbing into the water. I waded over to him and ducked under the water before dragging my nail across the back of his legs, he jumped and swam forwards before turning around to face me. I couldn't control my laughter "th-ee lo-ook on you-r fa-ace" I said spluttering in the water trying to stay afloat.
Brax looked at me unamused "you do realise that now you are going to have to pay for that" he said as he swam over to me and lifted me into his arms "BRAX!" I squealed as we waded towards the shore "BRAX! PUT ME DOWN" I laughed as he began to tickle me "STOP IT" I squealed gasping for air as we began to walk out of the water. Brax laid me on the sand and continued to tickle me "BR-AXXX!" I giggled as he finally stopped and laid down next to me. He kissed me on the cheek before lying back on the sand beside me, I grabbed his hand as we laid in the warm sun.
An hour later and we were beginning to cook "babe" I said throatily turning my head to look at him "mmm" he said back not opening his eyes "maybe we should head back to the bungalow and get some sunscreen and maybe we can come back for lunch" I said sitting up and brushing the sand off the back of my head "yeah, I am starting to get hungry" he said standing up and pulling me up with him. We headed back into the water and swam the short distance to out hut and climbed up the stairs.
Twenty minutes later and we were ready to head over to the island, Brax was wearing a navy blue button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a pair of cargo pants. I was wearing a white V neck maxi dress and sandals and I let my hair flow freely down my back. I grabbed my sunnies and Brax's hand and pulled him over to the stairs. He went down first and took my hand to help me into the boat before he started the engine and drove us over to the shore.
BRAX POV
I was sitting in the sand beside Charlie who was stretched out beside me in her bikini sunbaking. I was dreaming of our future together, maybe we could come back here after we had met our little girl. I could just picture it now, me sitting in the sand watching Charlie and our princess playing happily in the shallow water, Charlie gently splashing our girl while she squealed and giggled. I imagined building massive sandcastles together and watching as the tide washed the down, teaching her how to swim; Charlie on one side me on the other and our baby swimming between us with her cute little pink ducky floaties on. I couldn't wait to meet our baby, I just hoped that she was just like her mother. Although if she inherited her mother's famous puppy dog eyes I was sure that I would be bankrupt before she started school.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by Charlie "baby, could you please rub some sunscreen on my back?" she asked opening her eyes to look at me "huh? Oh yeah course" I said picking up the sunscreen tube and squirting a small amount on my hand before rubbing it on her back "what were you thinking about?" she asked "how do you know I was thinking of anything at all?" I asked smirking slightly "well, whenever you start to daydream you get this cute little look on your face… it's a dead giveaway – and very cute by the way" she said looking over her shoulder "Oh really, well I was just thinking about our life together, our princess, family holidays" I said as Charlie rolled over and sat up "that is so sweet, I can't wait to meet her" she said touching my face gently "me too" I said as I leaned over and kissed her gently.
It was getting dark so we decided to head back over and cook dinner over there, well I would cook considering we didn't want to be poisoned on our last night in Bora Bora. I was mixing the pasta around when Charlie came in behind me "what movie do you want to watch tonight?" she asked lifting the wooden spoon out of the pasta sauce and tasting it "mmm, delicious. At least we know that our baby won't just be living on fast food cause one of her parents can actually cook!" "yeah, she is going to be one spoiled little girl, you pick the movie tonight… just make sure it's not to gooey" I said as I strained the pasta.
I carried the two plates into the living room to find Charlie sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table staring at the ground, I realised that she was looking through the glass at the ocean underneath "what are you doing" I said laughing as I set the bowls down in front of us and sitting beside her "look at all the fish underneath here, it's like feeding time at the zoo there are so many of them" she said her eyes wide with excitement "well, here eat some of this" I said as I tucked into my dish. She grabbed her bowl and tucked in completely forgetting about the movie, clearly more focused on the fish swimming underneath us "WOAH! Did you see that!" she cried "what?" I asked leaning over to look in the glass "a shark, wow!" she said "hey bub, have you packed you bags yet? We have a fairly early flight today" I asked "oh yeah! I have to go do that" she said jumping up and running to put her plate in the sink.
I followed her into the bedroom, as she began to take clothes out of the dresser and fold them neatly. "Oh wait first I have to work out what I am wearing on the plane tomorrow" she said turning to face me "babe, whatever you wear you will look great" I said pulling my suitcase out from under the bed "oh I know" she said setting aside a pair of dark blue denim skinny jeans, a white singlet and a large navy and tan striped oversize jumper and a pair of navy ballet flats. "perfect" she said as she continued to fold neatly packing everything away. She walked over to the upright closet and pulled out all her dresses and shoes, and a bundle of bags. "souvenirs and gifts for everyone and us, oh and our baby girl" she said smiling happily.
CHARLIE POV
I woke up at the sound of the alarm going off, I rolled over to find Brax's side of the bed empty. I shut the alarm off and climbed out of bed wrapping my dressing gown around me and walked into the kitchen, Brax was at the counter dishing up breakfast. Smiling I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist, he flinched slightly but he quickly relaxed "I kinda don't want to leave you know" I murmured into his back "I know we have had so much fun" he said turning around to face me "yeah, but it will be good to get back. I have missed everyone a lot" I said as I sat on the stool at the breakfast bar, Brax soon joining me "yeah, and we get to see our baby girl when we get back" he said "mm" I said my mouth full "yeah our appointment is next Wednesday, I can't wait to see her again" I said taking another large mouthful of my breakfast "she sure is hungry today" I said looking at Brax who just laughed.
We arrived at the airport with an hour to spare, we wandered around the boutiques. I saw a couple of things that I just had to have but Brax didn't seem to mind. I loved that about him, he never complained when I wanted to go shopping he would just come with me and stroll around with me while a gaped at all the pretty things. We walked through the gate turning around to get our last glimpse of Bora Bora before walking up to the plane.
6 hours later
CHARLIE POV
6 hours later and we were back is Sydney, I took a deep breath as we waited for our cab "gosh, it feels so good to be home!" I said "well, were not quiet home yet babe" Brax said hugging me into his side. Soon enough we were back in Summer Bay, I smiled as I saw the Welcome to Summer Bay sign 'home sweet home' I thought to myself. We turned up our street and into our driveway and a grin spread across my face, I couldn't wait to see my new much larger family.
BELLA POV
"QUICK THEY ARE HERE, EVERYONE OUTSIDE!" I called quietly as Ruby and I ushered everyone outside. We heard the door open and we raced around the corner "HI!" we squealed, Ruby leaping into her mother's arms and me into Brax's "wow, did someone miss us?" Brax questioned as Ruby and I traded places, me hugging Charlie and her Brax. "maybe just a little bit" Ruby said cutely as I held up two fingers close together. "So spill, how was it!" I asked as I moved Charlie's suitcase over to beside the stairs "oh it was amazing, I have never seen water so clear!" she said "well Bella has a surprise for you" Ruby said jumping up and down "Ruby!" I cried "what I am just so excited to see what they think, sorry Belle" she said hugging me "well, you two seem a lot closer" Charlie said "yeah, well spending a week and a half with my two brothers will bring two girls a lot closer together" I said as Charlie laughed "mum, it is so good to have you home" Ruby said hugging her mum "oh thanks sweetie, I missed you two…. Now what is this surprise" Charlie asked I could see the eagerness on her face. "Okay, follow us" I said as Ruby and I walked towards the stairs.
Ruby and I walked up the stairs with Charlie and Brax following as we walked towards the room that belonged to their baby girl. We stopped with them stopping beside us "what is this?" Charlie asked as she looked at the white door with a large pink satin ribbon and bow stretched across it. "this is my present to you guys" I said looking at them both "It is just my way of saying thank you for everything" I said "now close your eyes" I said and they both obliged, I opened the door and Ruby and I stepped inside "Okay…. Open" I said as Charlie and Brax flicked their eyes open.
Okay guys, now I kinda didn't want to give it all away so I am going to leave this chapter on a bit of a cliffhanger. Not much of a cliffhanger but still, now obviously I haven't forgotten that there is a party waiting for them outside that will happen in the next chapter along with the reveal of whatever is in the room. Review and tell me what you think is in the room, or PM me if you don't want anyone to know. But please REVIEW! I will update soon - even sooner if I get 63 reviews, I am up to 59 now so come on people review! Dannielle x ;)
