"I thought you had the weekend off?" I asked Brax as we stood at the front door

"I thought I did too" he admitted "but I can't expect Kyle to cover every shift, can I?"

I shook my head, signalling no… "What time do you think you'll be home?"

"Not late I hope" he replied "someone tired me out last night"

I smirked at him and leant up, kissing him softly… "Can't help it if I have needs, can I?"

"Hey, I'm not complaining" he proclaimed, holding his hands up in defence

"Good" I replied "now go, before I drag you back into that bedroom"

He smirked at me and leant down, kissing me again… "See you later"

"Bye" I sighed, watching him as he walked down the driveway to his car

"Ricky?" Bianca's voice questioned, snapping me from my trance

"Morning" I greeted her

"Morning" she mirrored, chuckling lightly "in a world of your own there, weren't you?"

I nodded my head, signalling yes… "My boyfriend's a bit of a dish. Can't help it. What's up?"

"Do you fancy coming to the diner for breakfast?" she asked "we've got stuff to talk about"

"We have?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at her

"Yeah" she informed me

"Such as?" I questioned

"The fact that you're pregnant" she replied, smirking at me

"What? No I'm not" I proclaimed

"Don't play dumb with me, Ricky Sharpe. I know the signs" she informed me

"Okay, I am, but you can't tell anyone" I admitted "we're waiting until the 3-month mark"

"Congratulations" she proclaimed, hugging me tightly

"What's going on out here then?" Heath questioned

"Are your soon-to-be sister-in-law and wife not allowed to hug?" Bianca asked her husband

"Hang on, you and Brax are getting married?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow at me

I shook my head, signalling no… "Not yet, but Bianca's adamant it's gonna happen soon"

"You two are blissfully happy and in love. He'd be crazy not to" she proclaimed

"Okay, come on, wife; let's leave Ricky to her day, yeah?" Heath suggested

Bianca nodded her head in agreement, smiling at me warmly as Heath guided her back into their flat. Chuckling at them both, I made my way back into mine and Brax's place and shut the door behind me…

Night-time soon came and I made my way to bed soon after Jacob's bedtime. Making myself comfy, I grabbed the laptop from my bedside table and decided to do some online shopping. Soon I'd need maternity wear as well as baby stuff…

BRAX'S POV:

As I locked up the house and dumped my keys on the table by the door, I noticed mine and Ricky's bedroom light was still on. Making my way down the hallway to our room, I opened the door, smiling warmly as I saw her sat up in bed fast asleep, the laptop sat on her knee. Making my way over to the bed, I shut the laptop, catching a glimpse of the baby shopping she was doing, I placed it back inside her bedside table cabinet…

"Ricky?" I whispered, gently shaking her awake

"Hey, you're home" she greeted me "what time is it?"

"Nearly 11pm" I informed her "you were fast asleep and I didn't wanna move you, so I thought I'd wake you up and let you get comfy yourself"

"Such a gentlemen" she sighed, adjusting her pillows and snuggling down under the covers "you gonna join me?"

I nodded my head, signalling yes, changing into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, climbing into bed beside her, wrapping my arm around her waist, pulling her into me…
