Two chapters in one night; wow, you guys are lucky!
RICKY'S POV:
"He's going to be alright, Ricky, you know that and I know that" Heath spoke, breaking the silence we'd been driving in for the past half-an-hour
"I hope you're right" I admitted "because me, Jake and this one need him"
"What?" he questioned
"What?" I asked
"You're pregnant?" he inquired
I swallowed and nodded my head, signalling yes… "4 weeks, so we're keeping it quiet. You've got to too, okay?"
"Scouts Honour" he assured me "congratulations"
"Thanks" I replied, smiling at him weakly as he continued to drive
We arrived at the hospital forty five minutes later, being directed to the ward that Brax was on, Nurse Osborne greeting us as we arrived…
"He's still unconscious but stable" she informed us as we walked to his bed "we're monitoring him closely as the doctor hopes he should wake up in the next few hours all being well. Let us know if there's any change. You can stay with him as long as you want"
"Thank you" Heath replied on our behalf as I sat down next to his bedside, taking his hand in mine
"Come on, Brax" I sighed, stroking my thumb across his knuckle "wake up and show me those beautiful green eyes I fell in love with, please"
"Jeez, if I knew this was gonna be a love-fest, I'd have let you drive yourself" Heath sighed "come on, bro, wake up, yeah. We all need ya, especially your kid"
BRAX'S POV:
"Come on, bro, wake up, yeah. We all need ya, especially your kid"
I fought to open my eyes. I wanted to, but I couldn't, not yet…
RICKY'S POV:
"Hey, Jake" I greeted him as Bianca put him on the phone "yeah, I'm okay, sweetie. Are you being a good boy for Auntie Bianca?"
"Yes, Mummy" he informed me
"Good boy" I replied "now you get off and finish your breakfast and I'll see you soon"
"Love you" he stated
"Love you too" I mirrored
Jacob handed the phone back to Bianca and I heard her footsteps, a door shutting behind her…
"How is he?" she questioned
"Stable but still unconscious" I informed her "what if he doesn't wake up, B?"
BRAX'S POV:
I opened my eyes, glancing to my side to see Heath asleep, his head resting on the bed. Lifting my hand, I knocked him on the head… "Heath…"
"Ricky's gonna be stoked" he proclaimed
"Where is she?" I asked
"Outside on the phone to B. I'll go get her" he informed me
RICKY'S POV:
"Bianca, he's awake" Heath informed me as I felt the tears build up in my eyes
"B, I've gotta go" I admitted as I heard Heath speak
"I heard. Send him my love" she replied "see you soon"
"See you soon" I mirrored, both of us hanging up the phone
I followed Heath back into the ward and over to Brax's bed, sighing with relief as I saw him watching me walk towards him…
"Hey" he greeted me
"Hey" I mirrored "how you feeling?"
"Like I've done 3 rounds with Mike Tyson" he informed me
"I'm just glad you're okay" I admitted, sitting down in the chair I'd been sat in all night
"Yeah, so am I" he replied "I'm sorry for scaring you. Are you okay? The baby?"
"We're both fine" I informed him "oh, and Heath knows, by the way"
"Yeah, seeing as though I've just let the cat out of the bag" he sighed
"No, I did last night" I admitted "he's promised to keep quiet though"
"When have you ever known my brother keep quiet about anything?" he questioned
"Talk about me like I'm not here why don't you" Heath sighed "I'm gonna go get a coffee, do you guys want anything?"
"A juice and a sandwich wouldn't go amiss, Heath" I informed him
He nodded and smiled at me warmly, resting his hand on my shoulder before leaving the ward…
"Can I kiss you now?" I inquired
"Were you waiting for Heath to leave?" he questioned
"Yeah" I replied "didn't want him making a comment like he did the other night"
He smiled at me warmly and nodded his head, signalling yes. Standing up, I pressed my lips against his softly… "Love you"
"Love you too" he mirrored
