TEGAN'S POV:
I made my way into Brax and Ricky's house, thankful that they hid a spare key under the plant pot like Brax used to back in Mangrove River. I had to find something with Brax's DNA on it, to prove that he was Darcy's Dad…
"What are you doing here?" an unfamiliar face asked "and how did you get in?"
"I'm a friend of Brax's" I informed him "and you are?"
"His brother, Kyle" he replied "did you never learn to knock?"
"Brax told me to come straight over and let myself in" I admitted
"What?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow at me
"He said Ricky was gonna be out all day so we had the place to ourselves" I explained
"Are you trying to say my brother's a cheat?" he inquired
"Tegan Callaghan" Heath's voice proclaimed "what line's she been spinning you, Kyle?"
"That Brax is cheating on Ricky" he informed him
"Heath, long time no see" she chuckled
"Yeah, it's been great" he replied "word on the street is that you're trying to prove my brother is the father of your kid. How's that working out for you?"
"Good thanks" I admitted
"Good. So you won't mind leaving then?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow at me
I forced a smile onto my face and shook my head, signalling no…
"Oh, and Tegan? Key please" he stated, holding his hand out to me
I sighed and handed the key to him, making my way down the driveway…
RICKY'S POV:
"So hang on, she was here, in our house?" I questioned as Heath and Kyle filled Brax and I in on the story "I should go to the cops"
"They're not gonna do anything. She didn't break in and she didn't take anything" Heath sighed
"What was she here for?" I inquired
"She said that Brax had told her to come" Kyle informed me "implied he was cheating"
"That woman is seriously deranged" I proclaimed "well we're definitely not leaving a key under the pot anymore"
"Agreed" Brax stated
Later that evening after putting Jacob to bed, I made my way into mine and Brax's bedroom, shutting the door to behind me…
"What do you think this Tegan wants with you?" I inquired, sitting next to him on the bed
"Someone to be the father of her kid" he informed me "she's never been good at being alone and now she's got her little girl, she's petrified. She wants someone there to fall back on"
"I kinda feel sorry for her" I admitted
"You do?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow at me as I moved to rest my head on his chest
"Yeah, I mean, I can put myself in her shoes and think about how it could be in her position with Jacob" I explained
"But you're not her, and you never will be. You're never gonna be a single Mum, you've got me" he assured me
I smiled at him warmly as I looked up at him and kissed him softly…
So, Tegan was caught in the act – what next?
