RICKY'S POV:
I was in mine and Brax's bedroom tidying up when I heard the front door open and Brax's voice call my name…
"In the bedroom" I informed him
"Hey" he greeted me as he walked in
"Hey, what's up?" I questioned
"I've got some news" he admitted
"What is it?" I inquired
"I've got to go to the city for a few days" he informed me
"Is that it? I thought it was something serious" I replied, chuckling
"Ric, you're pregnant, you've gotta be taking it easy" he sighed
"I love you for worrying but I'll be fine" I assured him, licking my lips as I walked closer to him "so, seeing as though you're going to be gone for a few days, do you have time to fit me in before you go?"
"I can always find time for you" he informed me, his lips meeting mine as he moved us to the bed
Later on that evening I was in the middle of organising mine and Jacob's tea when Heath walked in the door on the phone to someone…
"Yes, Brax, they're fine. Jacob's watching Scooby Doo and Ricky's cooking dinner" he informed him "Jacob, shout hi to Daddy Brax"
"Hi, Daddy Brax" Jacob shouted, not even turning his head away from the TV screen
Chuckling, I made my way into the living room where Heath was, holding my hand out for the phone...
"Heath, give me the phone" I sighed as he ignored me, a smirk on his face
"Jake, watch this" I whispered, pinching the skin of Heath's arm, taking the phone from his grasp as he yelped
"You little… I'll get you back for that, Ricky Sharpe" he proclaimed
"Ricky Braxton" I informed him, smirking at him as I walked into the kitchen "hey, you"
BRAX'S POV:
"Hey. Sounds like you guys are having fun" I chuckled as Ricky came on the phone
"Just beating your brother up, you know the drill" she informed me "how's the city?"
"Boring" he sighed "the meeting I was supposed to be having with a potential supplier this afternoon has been pushed back to tomorrow, so I could've spent the night at home"
"What're you gonna do instead then?" she questioned
"Find somewhere to eat, have a couple of beers and then head back to the hotel and watch TV" I replied "what about you?"
"I'm going to sit and put my feet up with some of your chocolate once Jacob's in bed" she informed me
"You're choosing to eat my chocolate when you've got a shelf full of your own in the fridge?" I inquired
"It makes me feel closer to you" she admitted
"That's bull" I scoffed, chuckling at her "well enjoy it, but don't eat it all"
"If I do, I promise I'll buy you some more" she assured me "I've gotta go. I'll hand you back to your sook of a brother"
"Give Jacob a kiss and a cuddle from me and I'll see you in a couple of days. I love you" I informed her
"I will. Love you too. Tell Daddy Brax you love him, Jacob" she replied
"Love you Daddy Brax" he shouted
"Love you too, bud" I mirrored as Heath came back on the phone
"Thanks, bro, I love you too" he chuckled
"Shut up" I sighed "so they're all good, yeah?"
"Yes, Brax, they're absolutely fine" he replied "why're you so worried?"
"I'm not worried, I just don't want Ricky getting herself too stressed" I admitted
"Why?" he questioned
"Because I love her" I replied
"Nah, there's more to it than that. What aren't you telling me?" he inquired
"Nothing, seriously" I assured him "look, I'm starving so I'm gonna go. See you later"
RICKY'S POV:
I'd just finished brushing my teeth when my phone began to ring. Hurrying from the bathroom, switching the light off in the process, I sat down on the bed, smiling warmly as I saw Brax's name on the caller ID…
"Hey" I greeted him "Jacob told me to tell you that…"
"Am I speaking to a Mrs. Erica Braxton?" an unfamiliar voice asked
"Yes you are. Who's this?" I questioned
"I'm Nurse Osborne from St. Vincent's Hospital. Your husband's been brought in" she informed me
"What?" I asked "is he okay?"
"He's unconscious but stable" she replied
"What happened?" I inquired
"He was involved in an RTC, that's all we know" she informed me
I swallowed a lump in my throat and placed my hand on my stomach…
"Mrs. Braxton, are you still there?" Nurse Osborne questioned
"Yes, sorry" I replied "I'll be there as soon as I can"
"Thank you" she stated
We both hung up the phone and I sat in a daze for a couple of minutes, letting the thoughts of what would await me when I arrived run through my mind. Shaking my head, I pulled some clothes onto my body and hurried out of the bedroom and knocked on Bianca and Heath's door…
"Hey" Bianca greeted me, pulling me into her as I burst into tears "what's wrong?"
"It's Brax, he's been in an accident. The hospital have just rung me" I informed her through sobs
"B, you look after Jacob, Ricky, get your shoes on, we're going to the hospital" Heath informed me
What will await Ricky and Heath when they get to the hospital? And will Brax be okay? You guys wanted drama, so how's this for drama?
