RICKY'S POV:
"I've decided…" Brax admitted as I climbed into bed beside him later that evening
"Decided what?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at him
"What I want to do about Kyle." he informed me
"And?" I inquired
"I wanna get to know him too," he admitted "he's a part of us, me, Heath and Case. He's our brother…"
I smiled at him warmly and kissed him softly… "He's good with his nephew too…"
"What?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow at me
"We talked in the diner, and when Aaron came back with ice cream, Katie wanted some, so he kept an eye on Aaron whilst I took her over," I explained "by the time we got back, they were chatting about Power Rangers."
He smiled at me warmly and pulled me into him, snuggling into his chest as he switched his bedside table light off… "Love you."
"Love you too." I mirrored
BRAX'S POV:
Bianca and Heath made their way into the house the next morning, she and Ricky having decided earlier in the week that they were going to be taking the kids to the beach. Following him into the kitchen, he leant against the worktop and stared out into the backyard…
"Have you decided yet?" I questioned
He shook his head, signalling no… "Sorry."
"No worries," I replied, placing my hand on his shoulder "but you should know that Case and I want to get to know him."
"You too?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow at me as he turned to face me
"Yeah, why is that such a surprise?" I asked
"You hated Dad, and to know that he cheated on Mum and fathered another child, doesn't that make you angry?" he inquired
"Yeah, it does," I replied "but at the end of the day, he's our brother and he's here in the Bay."
"I just need some more time…" he admitted
"Okay," I stated, smiling at him warmly "I'll see you later?"
He nodded his head, signalling yes, and I made my way back into the living room, saying goodbye to Ricky, Bianca and the kids as I headed out the door en-route to the restaurant…
Short chapter I know, but why is Heath so reluctant to get to know Kyle?
