RICKY'S POV:
I sat in the living room a week or so later, trying not to laugh as I heard Brax swearing as he tried to assemble the flat-pack furniture for the nursery…
"Sounds like someone's having fun" Bianca chuckled as she walked in
"Don't" I replied "I should go and see if he wants a sandwich and a break"
Before Bianca had chance to reply Brax swore and I stood up, informing her that I'd be back in a minute, before making my way through to Casey and Tamara's old room…
"Hey" I greeted him as I rested against the doorjamb "you gonna have a break?"
"When I've put this chest of drawers together, yeah" he informed me
"How about you get Heath or Case to give you a hand?" I suggested
"No, I can do it" he replied, smiling at me weakly
"Brax, you've been at it since they arrived at 9:00am" I informed him "come and take a break and then go back to it"
He looked around the room and sighed heavily, making his way over to me, wrapping his arm around my waist…
"Do you want me to give Heath a call?" Bianca questioned as we walked into the kitchen
"I think that might be a good idea" I replied, smiling at her warmly
"Thanks, B" Brax sighed as he flopped down on the sofa, resting his feet on the coffee table
"No problem" she replied, smiling at us both as she dialled Heath's number
BRAX'S POV:
"I never thought you, Darryl Braxton would have trouble putting together flat-pack furniture" Heath admitted as we moved the now assembled chest of drawers to the corner of the room
"It's harder than it looks" I sighed, making my way back to the centre of the room
"Yeah, it is" he replied "so what's next?"
"The cot" I informed him, handing him a screwdriver
"Let's get to work then" he stated, both of us beginning to sort through the various bits
RICKY'S POV:
"Brax" I proclaimed as he led me to the nursery, his hands covering my eyes "Brax!"
"Okay" he replied "you ready?"
"Yes" I informed him, his hands moving away from my eyes
"What do you think?" he questioned "obviously I need to do some other bits but…"
"It's perfect" I replied, leaning up to kiss him softly
"Yeah?" he asked
"Yeah" I mirrored "thank you"
"Hello, we're home" Bianca's voice proclaimed
"Hey" I greeted her, Heath and Jacob as they walked through to the nursery
"We did a good job, didn't we, Ric?" Heath inquired
"Yeah you did, thank you" I replied, running my hand through Jacob's hair "right, Mr, I think it's bath and bed for you"
"But Mum" he whined
"But Mum nothing" I stated "come on, into the bathroom"
Jacob sighed heavily and walked into the bathroom. Chuckling, I turned to Brax and Heath… "Why don't you two take yourselves off and have a couple of beers?"
"You sure you're gonna be okay with Mr. Moody in there?" Brax questioned
"I'm not moody" Jacob proclaimed
"Yeah, I'll be fine" I assured him "go on, you deserve it"
"You okay with me going, oh light of my life?" Heath asked Bianca
"Yeah, Ricky's right, you deserve it" she replied "go on, go and have some fun"
"See you later" Brax informed me, kissing me softly "bye, Jake"
"Bye" he sighed
"I better get in there" I admitted, making my way to the bathroom "have fun"
"I'll see you in the morning, Ric" Bianca informed me as she followed the boys out
"Bye" I replied as I walked into the bathroom, beginning to run Jacob a bath
