RICKY'S POV:

The post came through the letterbox as I organised Brax and I a drink. Moving into the living room, I picked it up and smiled widely as I saw our legal guardianship certificate had arrived. Finishing off our drinks, I made my way back into our bedroom, finding Casey sat at the bottom of our bed, too engrossed in some children's TV programme to even acknowledge me…

"What's that?" Brax asked as I handed him his drink

"What do you think?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at him

"Is it?" he questioned

I nodded my head, signalling yes, smiling at him warmly as I set my drink down on my bedside table, him doing the same. Climbing back into bed, I opened it and pulled it out...

"Darryl Braxton and Erica Sharpe, legal guardians of Casey Braxton" Brax announced

"I think we should celebrate" I admitted

"How can we celebrate when you're almost 7 months pregnant?" he questioned

"We'll think of something" I replied, kissing him softly

BRAX'S POV:

"Just the man I've been looking for" Irene proclaimed as I walked into the diner that afternoon

"What can I do for you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her

"How do you think Ricky would react if I organised a baby shower for her?" she inquired

"I think she'd love it" I informed her "it'd be nice for her to just relax with all her friends. It's a lovely idea, Irene, thank you"

"You're welcome" she replied "but keep that zipped, yeah? Now what can I get you?"

"My morning usual please" I stated, pulling out my wallet to pay

RICKY'S POV:

By the time Brax had arrived home from work, I'd arranged a small celebration to celebrate our approval of legal guardianship… "Told you I'd think of something, didn't I?"

"You're meant to be taking it easy" he sighed

"I did. I delegated while these two did all the work" I informed him, motioning to Heath and Bianca

"Your woman's a slave driver" Heath proclaimed

"But we had a great day organising it all, and that's the main thing" Bianca replied

"Thanks" I stated, smiling at them both warmly "where is Case, anyway?"

"Over there" I informed him, motioning to the corner of the room "I don't think he really knows what's going on"

"Should we explain it to him then?" he suggested, raising an eyebrow at me

I nodded my head, signalling yes, following Brax over to Casey…

"You okay, mate?" Brax asked as I perched on the arm of the chair Casey was sat in

"Yeah" he replied "what are all these people doing here?"

"They're celebrating with us" I informed him

"What are we celebrating?" he questioned

"Mate, Ric and I have some news" Brax admitted "we're your guardians"

"What's one of those?" he asked

"It means we're like your parents" I informed him

"Okay" he replied

"Do you understand, Case?" Brax inquired

"Yeah, you guys are my Mum and Dad. That's cool" he informed us

So Casey seems to have taken the news about Brax and Ricky being his "parents" pretty well…
