Kyle had finally finished work, it was dark and even a little cold and in his rush, he had forgotten to bring a jacket. Shoving his hands in his pocket he starts his walk back to his caravan. Today had been so long and Kyle wasn't sure if he could ever do it again. It certainly didn't help that Casey came in and purposely bumped into him while he was carrying a bunch of beers, the look on his face was humiliating. This was his little brother that was pushing him around. When was this going to end? He loves Tamara, it was her or his brothers and even then he might not be forgiven. Brax did have a chat to him though but said that he still had to stay at the caravan park because of the tension between him and Casey which sucked.
Flashback
Brax walks into the restaurant and sees his younger brother hard at work.
Ky, I'm sorry. I know that it was wrong to kick you out. It's just you know me and Casey. We just have a really special relationship. But that doesn't take away from how much I care about you." Brax sighs hoping that Kyle will understand.
"Yet, I'm the one living in a traveling circus aren't I?" Kyle asks angrily that Brax was even trying to explain this.
"Well, you're only my half brother aren't ya." Brax groans and immediately regret it.
"Kyle I…" Brax starts but doesn't get a chance to finish because Kyle barges past him and walks into the kitchen.
Brax shakes his head. That did not go down well. But what a stupid thing to say, when did he become so stupid.
End of Flashback
Kyle was now walking faster as he was getting cold and suddenly heard footsteps behind him and he turns around sharply. Casey was being a bit cruel lately but sure he wasn't cruel enough for a king hit.
"Tam! What are you doing? Casey will kill me if he catches us." Kyle whispers.
"Kyle it's midnight. I'm pretty sure that Casey's in bed asleep." Tamara laughs, she pulls Kyle down by the neck and kisses him, she had missed him and she needed him to know that it was still him, it was always going to be him. She loved him. What was not to love. He was loving, smart, a family man, hardworking and freaking adorable. His brown eyes always sparkled and had a shining white smile.
Kyle loved Tamara as well what was there to not love about her. She was all of the things that he was they were perfect together but she was also accepting of him. She had to be, in his eyes, he was a loser that didn't deserve her. He pulls away softly and looks into her eyes. "Tam, date Casey. I'm not worth it. All I am is a loser alright, I don't deserve a perfect girlfriend like you. Casey's right. I don't deserve you and your life would be so much better without me." Kyle sighs and starts walking away but is pulled back.
"Babe, you're so wrong and the only reason that you're saying all of this is because Casey is bringing you back to the time when you felt so small and insignificant. You were bullied and they called you horrible names, names that Casey is now calling you, do you really think that I want to be with a guy that can treat someone else the way he treats you. And you know what Kyle you are amazing, extraordinary and so so sweet. I love you, why can't you love yourself the way that I love you." Tamara rants and pulls Kyle close by his t-shirt.
"Tam, really me. Australias biggest nerd. The most path…" Kyle starts but Tamara once again kisses Kyle and time Kyle doesn't pull away. Tamara does but only to continue her speech. "I'm lucky to have you. Take me to your van?" Tamara asks, she wanted to spend the night with Kyle. She loved him.
"I don't know Tam, Brax said…" Kyle starts but is once again interrupted with Tamara kissing him. He didn't want to upset Brax after their conversation at Angelos. But Kyle wasn't going to say anything to Tamara he didn't need her to worry.
"Why don't you stop worrying about Brax and live your own life. Hmmm starting with tonight yea. Come on no one is going to know and even if they do find out I don't care." Tamara smiles and cheekily kisses Kyle's cheek.
Kyle grins down at her and picks her up. "You're not the one who's going to get a black eye." Kyle laughs and kisses Tamara's cheek. "Although you have a pretty mean left hook." Kyle laughs and starts walking still carrying Tamara.
"Kyle put me down." Tamara laughs and kisses Kyle's neck. "Seriously how could you think you were a loser. I love you and I wish that you would love yourself just as much." Tamara sighs, she looks deeply into his eyes. Sighing Kyle places her down and grabs ahold of her hand instead.
"Tam, you should have seen me as a kid. I was a loser, a geek, a nerd an absolute waste of…" Kyle starts but is once again cut off by Tamara kissing him. "You got to let me finish at least once." Kyle laughs lightly and shakes his head.
"No not when you talk about yourself like that. How can you?" Tamara asks and turns Kyle to look at her. "I know that you Casey are going through a rough patch but when are you going to see that what he's saying is wrong. Bianca knows it, Ricky knows it, Heath knows it, Even Brax knows it but he's just sticking up for Casey as per usual and I know it. Deep down so do you. So let that in." Tamara whispers and pulls Kyle closer by the ribs.
"Fine you win, now can we please go cause I'm freezing." Kyle laughs lightly and he and Tamara start walking back to the caravan.
The next morning Casey woke up and walks out to the lounge where Brax and Ricky are talking.
"I can't believe I said it, Rick, the words just came out of my mouth." Brax sighs and runs his hands through his hair.
"It was horrible Brax, don't you think that Kyle knows that he's only a half-brother to you guys and you know what so is Casey." Ricky hisses lightly both her and Bianca were disgusted that Brax had days that to Kyle and Heath wasn't too happy either.
"But he's known me my whole life he's known that loser for what two, three years. I'm hurt you're taking his side." Casey laughs lightly and walks to the kitchen and gets some breakfast.
"Stop it Case." Brax huffs and takes a sip of his coffee. He was getting sick of Casey but he was his youngest brother he just had a special bond with him.
"Why?" Casey asks bewildered about why he should stop.
"Because I said so." Brax hisses. He then turns to Ricky and sighs "And I know that he hates the fact that he's only a half-brother. It was stupid."
"Damn right it was." Ricky hisses, she was appalled that Brax had said that and that Kyle had no one to lean on at the moment but it wasn't like he would tell anyone he was far too closed off for that. Sometimes her and Bianca would actually have to force him to tell them things.
"How do I make it up to him?" Brax asks. Wondering how on earth he was going to fix things with Kyle once again. Why did he keep saying all these cruel things to Kyle?
"Don't." Casey laughs as he puts his bowl in the sink and walks to his room.
"Talk to him Brax before him and Kyle actually try and kill each other." Ricky sighs and sits up and grabs her board to have a surf.
Brax leans back and sighs. Kyle wasn't working today so he would invite him around to watch the footie with him.
At the caravan park, Kyle had his arms wrapped around Tamara. She was the first to wake up and who could blame Kyle he loved sleeping, who didn't. Sitting up she realized that she didn't feel to well and gets out of the bed and runs to the caravan door and throws up. He turns back to Kyle who doesn't even flinch and decides to go for a walk. She hadn't had her period yet and was wondering if she was pregnant. Reaching the Summer Bay Pharmacy she looks quickly for a pregnancy test and shoves it straight into her bag not wanting anyone else to see. This was her business and the first person that she would tell would be Kyle and then Casey. They could both be the father. The thought made her feel sick. They were fighting and bickering enough as it was without adding a baby to the mix. Once she got back to the caravan park she quickly went to the shared facilities and locked herself in a toilet cubical she goes through the procedure and waits.
Ten seconds.
Tamara knew that Kyle wanted a baby. If she was pregnant he could have that
Twenty seconds.
He would have the family that he never had growing up.
Thirty seconds.
But what if the baby was Casey's, of course, she and Kyle would still be together. She loved him.
Forty seconds.
But it would kill him knowing that the baby wasn't his and that it was actually his brothers.
Fifty seconds.
On the other hand, she might not even be pregnant.
One minute.
Looking down at the test Tamara sees two lines.
"I'm pregnant." She whispers shocked. What was she going to do now, she had to tell them. But how. How can she put the news on them without them killing one another? But knowing she had to do it she exits the toilet and walks over to Kyle's van. Slowly she opens the door and discovers Kyle still sleeping, after making her way over to him she shakes his shoulder. Slowly Kyle tilts his head to look up at her. "Hey, Babe." He whispers and smiles sweetly at her, he loved having her back in his arms last night.
"Babe, I have news." She smiles nervously concerned about what his reaction will be when he finds out that he has a 50/50 option of having either a child or a niece or nephew.
