Thank you so much for all the reviews! I at least know that people are reading my fanfic and enjoying it . It's just sometimes hard to tell when no one reviews my chapters. Please enjoy my next chapter just as much as the last and please review, as I've said before it means a lot that people show their appreciation in my stories. xx

Chapter 13

Heath had finally arrived at Charlie and Brax's place, and he was a bit nervous about coming over for the dinner after the last conversation he had with the both of them. Heath knocked on the door slowly, and was greeted by a very chirpy Lucas.

Lucas: Hello Uncle Heath.
Heath: Hey Mate, where's your mum and dad?
Lucas: Mum's finishing dinner and dads at the hospital.
Heath: Why's your dad at the hospital?
Lucas: Alexis fell down the stairs, and they think she has broken her leg. Come in though.

Heath walked into the kitchen, and saw Charlie there trying to finish off the dinner as the house phone started to ring "I'll get that for you, while you answer the phone", Heath said. He was presuming it was going to Brax since he was at the hospital with Alexis.

Charlie: Babe, is everything ok? How long will you be?
Brax: Everything is fine. They are just finishing up casting Alexis's leg and she will be on miniature crutches. I think she is looking forward to the attention.
Charlie: That sounds like your daughter. Oh Heath has arrived.
Brax: Well I'll be there shortly babe, maybe 20 minutes?

Charlie hung up the phone, and went over to finish doing what she doing with the dinner when she realised Heath had finished it for you. "Thanks Heath", Charlie stated. Charlie made herself glass wine and got Heath a beer as they headed out in the lounge room. "Before Brax's get back the hospital, I received a letter here today from Bianca. She also left one here for you inside. I haven't read it, I thought you might like to on your own while we wait for Brax and Alexis for dinner". Heath took the letter of Charlie and mouthed Thanks before walking outside into the backyard.

Dear Heath,

I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from, after I dumped you to be with Liam. That's why I'm writing this letter, as you deserve to know the truth. You were the love of my life, I never wanted anyone else but you. However I didn't want to be with you while you were involved with crime, and I didn't know how to tell you that. You made me feel as I was alive, and not just going through each day waiting for things to change that weren't.

I know you're about to have a baby with my younger sister, and I would prefer if you never mentioned the above to her. I wish you both the best of luck, and I'm happy for you. I really am but I don't know how to show that just yet. Please treat my sister world, she deserves the best. I'm leaving, April doesn't know but Charlie and Brax will know if they've read my letter. It will be best for everyone this way.

Just remember I will always Love you Mr Heath Braxton.

Love,
Bianca xxx

Heath couldn't believe what Bianca had written in the letter to him. Why now 10 years later would she do this to him, he needed to know her reason. He wanted to go looking for her, but first he knew he needed to get through dinner with his brother and sister in law. Heath headed back inside, and realised Charlie was waiting for some reaction from the letter that he had just read but he wasn't going to give her that satisfaction.

Brax had finally arrived back with a hopping Alexis, who was already complaining about not being able to run and walk around. Heath gave Alexis a hug, as Brax went and helped Charlie bring the food to the table. After dinner Charlie cleaned up and organised the kids for bed while Heath and Brax headed outside to have a chat. The reason they invited him over in the first place.

Brax: Heath, about everything that happened when we found out April was pregnant. I'm sorry man. I should of never treated you like that.
Heath: I needed my older brother most. I never knew what this was all about with Darce, I found out she was my kid when she was 7.
Brax: I know Mate. Charlie and I had a chat, and that's why we invited you here tonight. We wanted to say sorry, and see how you were going with all that?
Heath: Mate can I speak to you about something that I really can't have you talking to Charlie about.
Brax: Yeah of course you can Mate. You know that brotherhood for ever.
Heath: I don't whether you know or not, but Charlie and I received a letter from Bianca. Bianca wrote that the only reason she was upset with April being pregnant with me is because she is still in love with me. What do I do?
Brax: Well who do you love?
Heath: Bianca. You know that, it's always been Bianca.
Brax: and April was a way for you to feel as you still had a part of Bianca?
Heath: You got it in one.
Brax: I say you need to treat lightly. You have one of them pregnant and you're in love with the other one. You have to choose which life you want.
Heath: Thanks for your advice. I better be getting back to April anyway.

Heath and Brax finished their beers and headed inside. Heath had thanked Charlie for dinner and the apology. Heath knew he could trust Brax with the secret he had been hiding from the world; he just had to figure out what he was going to do next about it all.

Bianca was sitting in her car, out of sight watching the events that were carrying on at the Braxton home. She knew they would have all received her letters by now. She knew they all knew how she was feeling about each every one of them and that she loved them all like there was no tomorrow as she started up her car and drove out into the darkness.

Sneak Peak: Has Bianca really left? How does Heath work out what he is going to do? Charlie plans Christmas lunch.
