RICKY'S POV:
Bianca and I were released from the prison that morning, no charges having being brought to her. Signing our release papers and being given our belongings back, we left the prison, hailing a taxi back to the hotel…
"I'm sorry, again" she sighed as the taxi drove off
"Stop apologising" I proclaimed "it was kinda fun!"
"Really?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow at me
"Yeah" I replied "reminds me of my Mangrove River days"
"What do you mean?" she asked
"Not that my life now bores me, but I had that bit of excitement back that I had before I had Jake" I informed her "it was nice. It felt nice to have that bit of freedom again"
She smiled at me warmly… "So, last few days of freedom, what do we have left to plan?"
"Nothing" I replied "the venue's sorted, the rings are sorted, the vicar's sorted. We've just got the rehearsal and the actual day to get through"
"And they should go off without a hitch, right?" she inquired
"I wouldn't count on it" I replied
BRAX'S POV:
"Hello, we're home" I shouted into the house as myself, Jake, Heath and Casey walked in
"Dibs on the shower" Heath proclaimed, dumping his bag, hurrying into the bathroom
"Daddy Brax, where's Mummy?" Jacob questioned
"I don't know, mate. Why don't you go and play in your room and I'll see if I can chase her up?" I suggested
He nodded his head and made his way into his bedroom. Dumping my bag by the door, I walked over to the phone as I saw the answering machine flashing…
"Hey, Brax, it's me. B's got in a bit of bother and we've ended up being arrested. I'll explain in full when I see you but I just wanted to let you know. I'll see you tomorrow. I love you"
"Did I hear that, right? Bianca and Ricky have been arrested?" Casey questioned
"Yeah" I replied
RICKY'S POV:
Bianca and I made our way up the driveway to the house later that morning. Sharing a hug as we reached the door, she made her way into the flat as I made my way into the house…
"Mummy" Jacob proclaimed as I opened the door
"Hey, bud" I greeted him, hugging him tightly as reached me
"I missed you" he admitted, kissing my cheek
"I missed you too" I mirrored "where's Daddy Brax?"
"Here" he informed me as he walked out of our bedroom "good night, was it?"
"I take it you got my message?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him
He nodded his head, signalling yes...
"Jake, go and play in your room, bud" I stated
"Can I take my pancakes?" he asked
I nodded my head, signalling yes, smiling at him warmly as he grabbed his plate and made his way into his room. Placing my bag on the floor, I walked into the kitchen, Brax following…
"So, what happened?" he inquired
"A guy got a bit too friendly with B in the bar we were in, so she punched him and broke his nose" I informed him
"Bianca broke someone's nose?" he questioned
"Yeah" I replied "no charges though"
"Wow" he sighed "and what about you? How come you got arrested too?"
"I tried breaking up, and accidentally hit a bouncer in the process" I explained
"I do like it when you're feisty" he admitted, pulling me into him
"I missed you" I informed him, placing my hands on his chest
"I missed you too" he mirrored "so apart from ending up in a cell, how was your hens night?"
"Really good" I replied "I had a spa day, it was amazing. Did you and the boys have fun?"
"Yeah, it was great" he informed me "fishing, camping, Jacob really enjoyed it"
"Even though he didn't get to speak to me before he went to bed?" I questioned
He nodded his head, signalling yes… "He was fine"
"Good" I replied, sighing with relief "I'm looking forward to climbing into our bed tonight though"
"Yeah, me too" he admitted "I missed you last night"
I smiled at him warmly and leant up on my tiptoes to kiss him…
