RICKY'S POV:

I woke up the next morning before Brax. Smiling warmly as he continued to sleep, I lifted my hand to stroke his face, my smile widening as I caught sight of my engagement ring. Pulling away from him, I lifted my hand above my face and stared at intently, not being able to believe how beautiful it was…

"Where'd you go?" Brax questioned, breaking me from my trance

"Shouldn't have bought me such a gorgeous engagement ring" I admitted

"I can always take it back, get you an uglier one?" he suggested, raising an eyebrow at me

"No way!" I proclaimed "this is never coming off my finger. Got it?"

"Got it" he replied, leaning forwards to kiss me softly "morning, fiancée"

"Morning" I mirrored "we should get out of bed…"

"Why?" he asked

"Jacob will be in soon if we don't" I admitted "and I've got a busy day ahead of me"

"Me too" he sighed, turning over onto his back, stretching "so who's gonna be first in the shower?"

I smirked at him and hurried to our en-suite bathroom, beating him there… "Whatever happened to ladies first?"

"Fine, just this once" he replied, leaning forwards to kiss me softly "I'll go get started on breakfast"

"Thank you" I proclaimed, shutting the door behind me

BRAX'S POV:

"Morning, Mummy" Jacob greeted Ricky as she walked out of our bedroom later that morning

"Morning, handsome" she greeted him, kissing his forehead "what're you eating?"

"Daddy Brax has made pancakes" he informed me

"Oh really?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at me as she walked into the kitchen

I nodded my head, signalling yes… "One or two?"

"Three" she informed me, smirking at me as she leant up and kissed me softly

"We smelt something really good" Heath admitted as he and Darcy walked into the house

"What about Bianca?" I inquired

"She's in the shower. She'll be over when she's ready" he informed me "so what're we having?"

"Pancakes" I replied "but I really have to get organised to go to the restaurant"

"I'll take over" Ricky informed me

"Thank you" I sighed, kissing her softly as I made my way into the bedroom

RICKY'S POV:

"Mummy, can we go and see Daddy Brax please?" Jacob questioned

"I thought you wanted to go to the beach?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at him

"I'd like a milkshake more" he admitted

"You little monster" I chuckled "come on, let's go and see what he can do"

Hurrying off towards the surf club, I followed, both of us making our way upstairs and into the restaurant…

"There's my two favourite people" Brax greeted us as we walked in

"Daddy Brax, can I have a milkshake please?" Jacob questioned as he hurried over to him

"I think that can be arranged. Uncle Kyle's in the kitchen, go and see what he can do for you" he replied, setting him on the ground again

He raced off into the kitchen and Brax walked over to me as I leaned on one of the tables…

"Hi" he greeted me

"Hi" I mirrored, sighing contentedly as he captured his lips with mine

"How was your day?" he asked, resting his forehead against mine

"Good thanks, yours?" I questioned

"Good. Everything seems to be in order here, might leave Kyle in charge more often" he admitted

I smiled at him warmly and wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling him into me, pressing my lips against his again…

"What was that for?" he inquired

"Think you can convince Heath and Bianca to look after Jacob tonight?" I asked

"Why would I do that?" he questioned

"So we can have some quality time together" I informed him

"And what would this quality time entail?" he asked

"Wait and see" I replied, biting his bottom lip softly
