Hello! So I would just like to tell you all that I may not be adding as regularly as usual (not that I add very regularly to start with haha). I started TAFE and I'm there 4 days a week, which is killing me. The work load is huge so we'll see how much writing I get done. Thanks for all the lovely comments =)

Enjoy xo

Chapter 35

Heath's Point of View

Brax had helped me figure out a few things and as soon as the fire had burned down most of the crop, we put it out, took away all the evidence that could have connected us to it and drove home. I was hoping Bianca would still be awake so I could talk to her properly. We got through the front door only to find Charlie cleaning up the kitchen and she didn't look impressed. "I hope you've come to fix this?" She crossed her arms over her chest and raised her eyebrows at me.

"Yeah I have…where is she?" I chuckled.

"She just went to the bathroom to wash her face. She hasn't stopped crying since she got here!" Charlie glared at me. Bianca soon walked out and seen me before wiping away a few stray tears. I smiled before taking her hand and taking her into my bedroom.

"I'm sorry for walking out on you like that…I was in shock, you surprised me and I just wasn't ready for what you had to say. I was scared." I explained, sitting her on my bed.

"I'm sorry for just dropping it on you like that…I just, I just needed to tell you. I need your support Heath…and if I don't have it, that's fine…I'm still going to keep the baby, but please know, that I'm scared too" She nodded at me. I leant in and placed a kiss on her lips before breaking away from her, watching her smile.

"You have my full support, I promise. If I can some way get out of these assault charges, then this kid is going to have a real family…a proper mum and dad. I may not be ready to be a Dad, but I promise you that I'm going to try" I smiled, stroking her cheek. She smiled back before pecking my lips softly.

"And that's all I can ask for" She whispered back, placing her forehead against mine.

Charlie's Point of View

I watched as Brax and Heath walked through the front door. I was so angry at Heath for just walking out on Bianca. It just showed how immature he was and how unreliable he was. He needed to take responsibility for what he had done and I was going to try my best to fix the good behaviour bond problem so he could be there for Bianca. After my glaring contest with Heath, he took Bianca into his room to talk, only to leave Brax and I to our selves. Brax smiled at me before walking closer to me, putting his arms around my waist. "I believe when I left you were only wearing a shirt of mine and your underwear…and now you're fully dressed and cleaning my kitchen?" He chuckled.

"Well someone had to do it" I replied. "Why do you smell like smoke?" I asked curiously, noticing the strong smell of smoke that had wafted into the house with Heath and Brax.

"Oh it was nothing…Heath and I just went out bush and had a bit of a fire going while we were talking. I think I got through to him. He wants to turn his lift around…for Bianca, for the baby" Brax nodded at me, smiling. "I'm going to give him a job at the restaurant.

"You are really good brother, you know?" I replied seriously, snaking my arms around his neck.

"And I'm an even better boyfriend" He mumbled, placing a kiss on my neck.

"Boyfriend ay? Have we moved to that part of our relationship?" I asked, surprised, yet extremely happy that he had used that word.

"Fine, secret boyfriend" He whispered, nipping my ear. I giggled before leaning up and pecking his lips.

"Woah guys…um, I knew you guys had something going on, but I didn't realise it was this serious" Casey walked through the front door to find us kissing.

"Ah, hey mate…how was your date ay?" Brax asked, pulling away from me rather quickly.

"Yeah it was good…really good actually. I just dropped Ruby home, but I can go back next door if you two want a bit of privacy" Casey chuckled. "Please tell me Ruby knows about you two…cause I can't keep this from her" He smiled at both of us. Brax nodded before rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well I should probably go" I nodded, heading towards the front door.

"Actually Casey…Why don't you stay at Ruby's tonight…Charlie's staying the night here" Brax smirked, before rushing after me, throwing me over his shoulder.

"Brax!" I tried not to scream. I watched as Casey shook his head with a smile before leaving. Brax took me into his bedroom and put me down on his bed, crawling over me, before passionately kissing my lips. "Brax, you stink…go have a shower!" I mumbled, pulling away quickly.

"Fine" he groaned, taking his clothes off in front of me, standing there smirking at me before walking into the ensuite. I laughed before following him into the bathroom, ripping off my clothes and joining him in the shower.

"So you and Heath were gone for a while out there. You talk about a lot of stuff?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah we did actually" he pulled me closer to him as we stood under the water together. "He knows what he did was wrong…he's scared Charlie. He could spent the first years of kids life in prison…neither of us want that for him. He wants to be there for Bianca, but he's scared. Our father wasn't the greatest role model. He's still in prison and Heath and I have a lot of bad memories from him" Brax hugged me. "I think Heath is worried he'll turn out like our old man"

"I told you I'm going to try fix this" I pulled away and looked him in the eye.

"Yeah I know" He placed his forehead against mine before kissing my lips softly. We soon got out of the shower and headed to bed. To be perfectly honest we were both quite content on being in each other's arms rather than having sex. Brax made me feel wanted, he made me feel something I hadn't felt before; he made me feel loved.
