Chapter 34

Heath's Point of View

I walked into Bianca's house hoping to let off some steam after fighting with my brother practically all day. Its like he thought he could run my life, but got pissed off every time I took it into my own hands. He wasn't my father and he needed to stop acting like it.

"Hey babe" I smiled, walking through Bi's front door, only to find her on the couch holding something in her hands. I reached round to kiss her before she pulled away. I walked around confused and sat next to her. I could tell she was upset, the tears staining her face said it all. "What's up babe?" I asked. I looked down at the picture in her hand, before looking up at her face.

"We need to talk" She muttered. I looked at the picture again, taking in every detail from Bianca's name, to the date and to the small black and white blob that looked like a tiny alien; it was then I understood. "I'm 9 weeks pregnant Heath" She gave me the picture, trying not to cry. I looked into her eyes before down at the picture again, tracing over the lines and the detail of it. Her words were repeating over and over in my head before I stood up. I needed to get out of there, I needed to think; I needed my brother. "Heath?" a voice echoed, as I got lost in my thoughts. "Heath…I'm sorry!" She yelled as I walked out, grabbing my phone and texting Brax before getting in my ute and speeding off!

Brax's Point of View

I rushed into my ute and off towards the last crop we had in the national park. It had started to get dark, but I could see Heath standing at the edge of the crop with a beer in hand. I got out and carefully walked up to him, not sure of what state I'd find him in. He looked up at me before bending down and picking up a beer from the case he had at his feet, throwing it to me. "Thanks" I nodded before cracking it open. We stood there silently sipping our beers for a few moments before anyone said anything.

"I'm surprised the cops haven't found this one yet" Heath broke the silence, nodding towards the dope crop.

"Uh yeah" I was unsure at what he was getting at.

"Unless of course you've told ya girlfriend" He looked at me.

"Nah, of course not. I don't want her to be apart of this life" I replied, continuing to drink my beer. Things went silent for a few moments before Heath pulled something out of his pocket. He looked at the piece of paper before handing it to me.

"Bianca's pregnant" I looked at the ultrasound photo before sighing.

"Yeah I know…Charlie told me" I nodded, handing it back to him.

"Brax, I'm gonna be a dad…I don't know the first thing about being a dad!" He shouted before throwing his empty beer bottle into the crop. "You were the only father figure Case and I had in our lives…you've always looked after us, you got me and the boys into this business, you've got us into trouble and you've got us out of trouble, but I'm going to gaol Brax…no matter what happens, this kid is going to turn out exactly like me…and I don't want that…for my kid or for Bianca" Heath grabbed another beer and opened it.

"I talked to Charlie…she's going to see if she can get the charges dropped…but on one condition…you need to man up and be there for Bianca" I told my brother.

"This is my life Brax…the weed, the fights, the gang, surfing…this is my life, I've never known anything better, how am I meant to support a family on that?" He yelled at me.

"I'll get you out of this, you can come work at the restaurant…I'll figure something out" I assured him.

"Just like you always do Brax…once again good old Darryl comes to save the day" He spat at me.

"Well what else do you want me to do?! You're my brother, I'd do anything for you. You need to man the fuck up Heath and take responsibility for your actions! Its about time you grew up!" I shouted back. He looked at me seriously before shaking his head. "We need to go on the straight and narrow Heath…you've got Bianca and I've got Charlie now…we need to do this, if not for ourselves, for them" I lowered my voice and explained.

"You happy with your copper?" He asked.

"Yeah I am…the happiest I've been since…since Tegan" I told the truth. Heath knew better than anyone how destructive I was when Tegan died.

"You think it's going to be easy taking the straight and narrow life?" He asked.

"No, it's going to be fucking hard. We're so used to having the crop business to back us up money wise, but now all we can rely on is the restaurant…we just gotta get used to that" I finished my beer before taking another one. Heath nodded before looking out towards the crop.

"Let's burn it" He said before grabbing a tank of petrol from the back of his ute. I looked at him before chuckling.

"Let's burn it" I agreed as I watched him throw petrol over the crop that could have brought us in money for a year, about to get destroyed. After the petrol was gone, Heath got a lighter from out of his pocket and looked at me.

"You want to do the honours?" He asked, handing me the lighter. I lit the trail of petrol leading to the crop before stepping back with my brother and watched as the trail of fire made its way up to the large crop. We both looked at each other before smiling, watching the blaze in front of us. "To family" Heath held out his beer to be.

"To family" I clinked my glass with his as we watched our former life go up in smoke.
