BRAX'S POV:

"We're closed" I sighed as I saw Tegan make her way into the restaurant

"C'mon, Brax, I only want a few minutes of your time" she replied

"Fine, two minutes" I informed her "what do you want?"

"Scotch on the rocks if it's going" she admitted, smirk on her face

"You know what I mean" I sighed "I'm busy, Tegan, and don't have the time for games. What do you want?"

"I'm surprised Ricky hasn't told you" she replied "thought she'd have been straight up here with the gossip"

"Can you start talking sense please?" I questioned

"I was in your place the other day because I was looking for some DNA I could use to prove you were Darcy's Dad. I can't believe Ricky didn't tell you" she informed me

"Hang on, she knew? Since when?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her

"Since about an hour ago when I told her. Have you seen her?" she inquired

"Yeah, just after her morning surf" I replied, sighing heavily "so Darcy's not mine? Good. Who's is she then?"

"Some jerk-off who doesn't wanna know" she admitted "I thought if Darcy had a Dad, it should be someone good, honest and decent, like you"

Smiling at her weakly… "If it's any consolation, I would've loved to have been her Dad"

"Yeah, I know" she replied "I better be going. Bye, Brax"

"Bye" I mirrored, watching her as she walked out of the restaurant

RICKY'S POV:

"You knew" Brax's voice startled me as I stood with my back facing the front door organising the washing

"You scared me" I proclaimed, smiling at him warmly

"You knew" he spoke again "you knew that Darcy wasn't mine and you didn't tell me?"

"Brax, I can explain" I informed him

"You saw me just after you saw Tegan at the beach. Why didn't you tell me?" he asked

"It wasn't my place to, was it?" I questioned "Darcy's nothing to do with me, with us, so I shouldn't have been the one to tell you. But I'm guessing Tegan has told you?"

He nodded his head, signalling yes… "And she told me she'd told you too"

"I would've told you if it had of been my place, you know I would, but it wasn't so I didn't" I informed him

"I would've loved to be her Dad" he admitted, sighing heavily

"I know you would" I replied, smiling at him warmly "but whilst we're on the subject, how would you feel if I told you I was pregnant?"

"What?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me

"I was beginning to wonder, and then I took a test this morning when I realised my period was late" I explained "it's positive. We're having a baby, Brax"

Smiling at me warmly, he wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up, kissing me passionately as he spun me round… "I love you"

"I love you too" I mirrored

Quite a bit of baby boom going on in my stories at the minute, isn't there?
