Roxi let out a cute little giggle and walks over to Heath and gives him a hug and a kiss.  "Look what I made you!" Melody was clever when making things out of wood for some reason!  "Are you really pregnant again?" Indi rolled her eyes and nodded."Congrats!" "Thanks! Please don't tell anyone!" Leah laughed. "Colleen heard!" Indi laughed. she picked up the order and took it over to the boys. "I s Heath with you guys?" They all laugh. "Nah! He's out surfing!" "Whats so funny about that?" "Lets just say he didn't want to get in!" Indi's eyes widened. She chucked her apron on the bench and ran down to the beach. "Heath!" Indi was looking around everywhere until she found him on some rocks. She ran over to him."Heath!Baby are you Ok?" Heath didn't answer. Indi pulled out her phone and rang the hospital."Heath please stay with me!"  "STOP!I want ten minutes alone with my fiancee...so get out!" All of the doctors and nurses shrug and leave.  "You have to dump her mate! She's not one of us!" "So..." "So! She's a lame goody two-shoes!" Heath punched P-Wee straight in the face! "Right!" P-Wee pushes Heath into the water and Heath hits his head on a rock.

That was BEYONCE ACE !!!!!!!!!!! ADORED it, especially …..  The ENTIRE 1st AND 2nd scene !!!!!!!!!!!  He smiled even though April couldn’t see him, she knew he was smiling, it was one of those things that he always did, he couldn’t help it apparently, he had to smile. \\ ‘Ruby is back’ and all of a sudden Casey’s smile vanished.  Casey didn’t respond straightaway, he just took it in and tried not to give away how he felt, though truth be told, he didn’t know what to feel. He loved her and in a way he still did love her, he just didn’t know what else to do about it.

That was sooooooooooooooooooooooo emotional !!!!! LOOOOOOOVED it, especially …..  Walking along the now dimly lit beach, as the light from the night moon bounced off the deep blue ocean, Charlie and Ruby both held the Urns in their arms. Standing at the edge of the water Charlie wrapped her free arm around Ruby in an attempt to prepare her for what they both knew was coming. Sniffing back her uncontrollable tears Charlie glanced down at the Urn in her arm, she replayed the last day she had seen her parents alive and the last words she had heard her father speak.  After finding out Charlie was her mother things had been bumpy between them they had their bad and good days. Now a year and six months later their relationship had grown beyond that of a mother and daughter. In Charlie she had found a sister, a friend and a mother. Although Charlie no longer lived with her parents she was round a lot of the time mainly because of Ruby, they spent as much time together as possible and had only just started discussing the possibility of Ruby moving in with Charlie. Ruby smiled to herself as Charlie walked back into the living room just as the movie began.  "Buckton residence" Ruby laughed at Charlie's unenthusiastic tone but her smile soon faded as the colour on Charlie's face instantly turned pale as her eyes filled with tears  "Ross and Elise Buckton, they were apparently involved in a car accident" said Charlie breathlessly. Before the nurse could reply she was interrupted by the same male doctor that had once treated Ruby  "It's ok, Ruby can stay, she's gonna need to hear what you have to say too" Charlie knew having Ruby there was more for herself than it was for Ruby. She wasn't sure if she could handle the news on her own, she needed Ruby's support.  "A large truck lost control on the highway and hit your parent's car head on. I'm sorry to say your mother died on impact..." He paused as Charlie stumbled back at the sound of his words and Ruby's grip on Charlie tightened significantly in an attempt to not only steady Charlie but also herself. Their once silent cries were now fiercely raging through the small office. Desperately but unsuccessfully trying to stop her tears and Catch her breath Charlie tried to speak but found no words seemed to be escaping her lips. Realising what she was trying to do and what it was that she was probably going to ask, the young doctor continued "Your father received multiple fractures and sever internal bleeding; there was also some swelling in the brain. We did the best we could but his injuries are too extensive, we doubt he will be able to make it through the night".  Walking into his room Charlie's body stiffened at the sight before her eyes. To her, her father had always seemed so strong and untouchable but looking at his broken, bruised and pale body she almost didn't recognise him.  "She's not gone, s... she's waiting"  "I...I need the b...both of you to... to make me a promise" said Ross "Anything" replied Charlie as she tightened her hold on his hand "I need you to take care of each other...ok" Both girls nodded "But we..." Ross interrupted Charlie as she spoke "Charlie I need you to go back", Charlie looked at him confused. What was he talking about? "Go back where dad?" "T...to Summer Bay" "Dad..." once again she was cut off by Ross "N...no Charlie, we n...never should have left, we should have fought. Go back and fight...be happy...do this for me" Charlie slowly nodded unable to argue with her father in his current state. "We can all go together when your better" said Charlie. Ross simply smiled over at his beautiful daughter before looking back at Ruby. He knew he didn't have much time left and he could see in both girls' eyes that although they were trying to deny it they knew it too. "I will always be with you where ever you go... your mother and I will never leave your side" Charlie knew what was coming, his breathing was getting heavier and she could slowly see life slipping away from his pale body. "I need you guys to make me one more promise... take your mother and I with you to Summer Bay so we can spend rest within the beautiful ocean". Charlie and Ruby were now confused what did he mean by that?, did he not hear them when they had told him that Elise was dead. "Dad" called Ruby "Just promise" Ruby and Charlie both nodded as they replied simultaneously "We Promise" Once again Ross began smiling as he glared at the space that was seemingly empty in front of them, and he called her name again "Elise" and without warning he closed his eyes, his body fell limp and the monitor flat lined "Dad" Ruby shock his lifeless arm frantically as she tried to wake him up "Charlie stood over him as she spoke "Dad please wake up...Dad please...please" breaking down completely she flung her arms around him. As the cries of both girls raced through the halls of the hospital, the young doctor stood outside the door wanting to give them time to grieve. Looking up at Ruby Charlie rushed over to her compelling her into an embrace. Ruby held on tightly to her mother. This was it, they had no one else but each other and they intended on keeping the promise they had made to their father and take care of each other. They remained in each other's embrace for a long while, in that moment letting go was something both of them refused to do out of fear of losing each other.  Almost instantly a warm breeze crept through the cold wind as it grazed Charlie and Ruby's cheeks. A smile crept up on both their faces "Did you feel that" Questioned Ruby as she placed her hand on her still warm cheek "Yh, yh I did" Charlie stood in awe at the feeling she had just got. She had no doubt about it, Ross and Elise was still with them. They may not have been able to see them but the faith of believing they were still there was enough to keep them both going. Now seated on the sand, Charlie and Ruby laughed as they both recollected the memories they had made with Ross and Elise  Unknown to the both of them someone had began watching them attentively  Motioning to continue towards his car Brax was once again stopping in his tracks as he instantly turned back as her loud laughter raced through the calm wind. He stared at the two figures attentively; that laughter he was sure it was Charlie's, he looked closer but the darkness of the night prevented him from seeing them clearly.  Walking further towards him she wrapped her arms around his waist as she placed a kiss on his lips. "We should go" she asked Nodding in response Brax followed on as she pulled him towards the car park, taking one last glance in the opposite direction Brax found it impossible to escape the laughter he had heard. 'Why' he thought to himself, why after ten years did he still feel this way, surly this wasn't normal. He looked up at the woman before him 'why couldn't he just be content with what he had. Why couldn't he forget?

BIG possible shock about Bella’s dad !!!!!!!!! REALLY REALLY enjoyed that !!!!!, especially …..  “Yeah. She was pretty shaken up Thursday evening and the whole of Friday she never left the bedroom. Bless the twins, we told them Ruby was going to play Mummy for the day. They had a great time of it. But thank God I heard her shouting or she would be in even more of a mess than she is now  Brax said before he walked back over to his car, and tried to open the door, but found it had been locked. He tapped on the window lightly and smiled at Charlie who leaned forward and unlocked the door, letting Brax into the car. As soon as he closed the door, Charlie leaned over him and locked it again before she turned and looked out of her window. “So you sure I can’t tempt you to go go-karting today?” Charlie shook her head lightly as she continued to look out the window.  “22 minutes, yeah.” Charlie nodded. “See Riley.” Paige stuck her tongue out. “Stop saying that.” Riley sighed. “We still both 3.” “Nuh-uh.” Paige shook her head. “I 3 and 22 olders.”  “You are both 3 years old and I’m 6 so I’m the oldest anyways.” “Nuh-uh.” Paige shook her head. “You’s wrong Jacob.” “Yeah.” Riley nodded her head. “Ruby is the olders.” “No no.” Paige shook her head. “Mummy is. Then daddy then Ruby then Jacob then me then you, Riley.” “I’s no want to be the youngerist.” Riley shook her head before she pouted.  “Sweetie you can’t.” Charlie shook her head. “You're too young.” “3 not young.” “Well you need to be 6 to go on the go-kart.” “It not fair.” Riley shook her head.  “It eh....Bella...her eyes....when he....Ryan, when he was....close to me, and I looked into his eyes....I see...” Charlie trailed off. “You think Ryan could be Bella’s father?” “I don’t know.” Charlie shook her head. “I mean when I first met him again, I didnt think anything of it, you know plently people have brown hair and brown eyes....but that night when I looked into his eyes....I just...I saw Bella.”  “You think so.” Ruby laughed. “I’m going to take you down bro.” “Eh, we all know I will be the winner.” Brax said. “Haha, no.” Jacob shook his head. “Dad you been rubbish.”  Liam, Ruby and Xavier hung back, letting Jacob and Brax battle it out for first place. As they approached the finish line Brax slowed down as Jacob flew past the line. He stopped his kart and jumped out before he jumped up and down. “I win. I win.” Jacob cheered as Brax stopped next to him. “I knew I would.”

That was soooooooooooooooooooooooo AWEOSME !!!!!! the coconuts/melons bit was INSPIRED !!!!!! ADORED that, especially …..  The next glorious morning as the tweeting birds sang their pretty little song, Ruby was busy gazing into the depths of the room service waiters eyes. Waiter, “Excuse me Madam I said tea or coffee?” Ruby, “Have you anything sweeter?” Waiter, “Errrr well I have….” Ruby, “The most dreamy eyes ever.” The waiter coughs nervously. Waiter, “Yes well, we have hot chocolate Madam.” Ruby, “Oh yes what else is on offer?” The waiter looks nervously over at Ruby who is fluttering her eyelashes. Waiter, “Toast, sausages, bacon, eggs, hash browns, mushrooms fried tomato?” Ruby, “Yummy, now tell me do I get you for desert?” Waiter, “Madam this is breakfast if you feel not quite satisfied after you have finished, you may have fruit salad.” Ruby, “Woo juicy shame you aren’t on the menu through.” The waiter blushes. Waiter, “Does the breakfast interest you Madam?” Ruby, “Errr yeah I guess so as your serving it to me.”  Charlie, “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh my God my poor, poor head it feels like it’s going to explode, oh what is that smell?” Ruby, “This is the smell of five star hotel bacon.” Charlie, “Oh I think I’m going to be sick.” Waiter, “I won’t tell the chef you said that about his cooking, would you like a sick bucket Madam?”  Ruby, “Mom?” Charlie, “What?” Ruby, “I’m officially mentally scared for life.” Charlie, “Why?” Ruby, “You are nude, you slept in the nude.” Charlie, “Oh yes I did sorry, in my drunken state last night I must of thought you were Brax.” Waiter, “Oh my oh my.” The waiter starts to busy himself trying his best to avert his eyes away from Charlie’s naked form. Charlie, “I normally sleep in the nude with Brax we get rather fruity in the bedroom.” Waiter, “Melons? Er lemons no I mean…….” Charlie, “I beg your pardon?” Waiter, “I mean would you like lemon juice Madam?” Charlie, “Ew no thank you I just feel so rough.” Waiter, “Very well Madam I…………” Ruby, “Wooooooooo their some big coconuts you have there.” The waiter’s eyes instantly fall to Charlie’s naked breasts. Waiter, “Yes they are aren’t they?” Ruby, “What does the milk taste like inside them?” Waiter, “Delightful I would imagine.” Ruby turns her head from the breakfast trolley where the two brown coconuts are sat. Ruby, “Hey I think your dribbling my leg.” Ruby looks up at the waiter who is just stood there in a trance before hers and Charlie’s bed. Ruby, “Would you like a tip?” Waiter, “Errrrr yeah sure.” Ruby Stop preving over my hungover mother.” Ruby throws a cold glass of water which soaks his face. Waiter, “WHAT THE, WHAT, ERRRRRRRRRR VERY GOOD OH MY I………” Ruby, “GO.” Ruby points to the door and a very embarrassed blushing red faced waiter trips over himself as he stumbles out of the room. Ruby, “What is it with men and their fascination with our coconuts?” Charlie rolls over in bed once again not really aware that there had been a man moments ago who had been mesmerised by her breasts. Charlie, “I’m sorry for last night Rubes.” Ruby, “Oh yeah why?” Charlie, “For spooning with you, and giving you a tiny love bite while you were asleep.” Ruby, “YOU DID WHAT?” Ruby dashes away to glance at her neck in the bathroom mirror. Ruby, “Oh Charlie it’s massive.” Charlie, “My Braxy Waxy would of liked it.” Charlie starts to cry into her pillows as Ruby looks at the bright red love bite meant for Brax.  Hammer, “Yes we take the pretty copper and her daughter hostage while you pay Brax a visit and kill him.” Jake, “Yes I want to strip Brax of all he is worth before I kill him. How dare he think he can steal from our crop of drugs and get away with it.”  Jake, “Have you practised your intense glaring to put the fear of God into people?” Hammer, “Oh yes.” Jake, “Show me.” Hammer gives Jake his most threatening looking glare. Jake just laughs. Jake, “No add abit more fear into your look. At the moment you just look like your suffering from a bad case of constipation.” Hammer, “Oh shut up lets see yours then Mr I’m so dangerous and scary.” Jake gives Hammer his look of utter death causing Hammer to let out a girly scream. Jake, “You big wuss.” Hammer, “Jesus it was like you were glaring right into my soul.”  Jake starts to get excited as he feels his plan of killing Brax falling into place. Surely this woman before him would turn out to be Charlie Buckton. Charlie, “Oh my name?” Jake, “Yes what is it?” Charlie, “Esther Anderson.”  Hammer, “I’m Hammy his assistant.” Charlie laughs. Charlie, “Hammy seriously?” Hammer, “Yeah what’s wrong with that?” Charlie, “It’s a name that someone would give there pet hamster.”  Charlie, “Yes Esther Anderson is going to be a very high maintenance, bitchy and a right diva, just like so many other supermodels. Hey Rubes if I manage to pull this off maybe I should think about going into the acting profession.” Ruby, “Charlie…..” Charlie, “No Ruby from now on you call me Esther, hey if my acting classes go well maybe I could even end up having a role in an Australian soap now that would be great.” Ruby sighs.

Enjoyed that, especially …..  No, because I don’t want you to get in trouble.” Charlie cried. “If I tell the police what happened then there’s every chance that you are going to get done for assault.” “For protecting my partner from getting raped?” Brax questioned. “It doesn’t matter.” Charlie shook her head. “You punched him Brax, you kicked him, you threatened him with death.” Charlie pursed her lips together as a tear rolled down her cheek. “I can’t tell the police because if I do, Ryan is going to press charges on you and I can’t....I can’t lose you to jail right now. I need you to be here for me and for the kids and I....” Charlie trailed off as she broke down into floods of tears.  Mummy.” Paige smiled. “Ruby reading a good story.” “Is she?” Charlie asked as she knelt down in front of Paige and gently ran her hand over her daughter’s forehead. Paige nodded lightly. “That’s good.” “Yeah.” Riley nodded. “Mummy go.” “Aww Riley that’s not very nice.” Ruby said. “Mummy just came in to say goodnight.” “But she stopped the story.” Riley sighed. “Okay, I’ll go.” Charlie said sadly as she gave Paige a kiss on her forehead. “Night sweet pea.” “Night mummy.” Paige yawned. “Goodnight Riley.” Charlie said as she went to give her kiss but Riley pulled her head to the side. “Go.” Riley moaned. “I just want the story.” Charlie sighed lightly before she walked out of the room  “Have you locked all the doors?” Charlie asked and Brax nodded lightly. “I will go and do that right now.” Brax smiled lightly. “And the windows are all locked shut?” Charlie asked. “Again, I’ll make sure they are.” Brax said before he gently rubbed her arm. “You’ll be safe with me.” “I know I will.” Charlie smiled lightly. “And you’ll be here when I get out the bath, right?” “Of course.” Brax answered. “I’m not going anywhere.” Charlie smiled nervously before she took a deep breath and went into the bathroom  “I can’t believe this happened.” Ruby shook her head. “What a jerk. Guys are...why are you such pigs?” “Not all of us are eh.” Brax said. “Ahh you’ve done your fair share of bad stuff.” Ruby sighed. “Guess I can’t really argue there.” Brax shook his head. “I just...I want so much to go out there and really bash him.”  “Yeah.” Ruby smiled lightly. “I just wish something good could happen for her before then.” “Well.” Brax answered. “I eh....I was going to keep this quiet, but, I was going to propose to her when we were in Hawaii.” “Oh my Gosh.” Ruby screamed. “Finally.”  “Eh...can you check the bedroom?” “For what?” Brax asked. Charlie exhaled lightly as she looked down. “Okay I eh...I’ll go check.” Brax smiled lightly before he walked down the hall and into their bedroom. “It’s clear.” Brax said s he appeared back in the hall. Charlie exhaled lightly before she walked down the hall and into the bedroom where she changed into her pyjama’s, before she sat down on the bed. “I’m just going to go bed now.” Charlie said. “But eh....can you....can you lay with me until I fall asleep?” “Sure.” Brax smiled lightly as Charlie got into the bed and lay down. Brax lay down next to her and wrapped his arm around her. Charlie smiled lightly as she took his hand in hers and hugged it close to her. “And all the doors and windows are locked shut?” Charlie asked. “Yeah.” Brax nodded lightly. “Like I said, you’re safe with me. I’m not going to let anything happen to you.” Brax exhaled lightly before he placed a kiss on Charlie’s head, and only hoped he was able to help her through this.

"You and Indi are getting married?" Heath nodded."Ok! I'll be in the wedding!" Heath noticed that Sasha looked upset. "Whats wrong?" "Am I going to be in the wedding?" Heath really didn't know! Indi hadn't told him who she was choosing for her maid of honor or her bridesmaids. "I'm don;t know who Indi has chosen but I reckon you will be!" Sasha nodded."Well...I've got to get back to work!

Two BEYOND ACE updates !!!!! LOOOOOVE that Charlie wants Rubes to give her away !!!! and BIG WOAH at Ryan !!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED that, especially …..  “Oh a sexy nurse?” Charlie pursed her lips together. “A very sexy nurse.” Brax grinned before he placed a soft kiss on Charlie’s lips. Charlie smiled into the kiss, as it got deeper and more passionate. “Mmm.” Charlie moaned as Brax pulled her towards the direction of their bedroom. “Not sure this is the best thing to be doing if you are sick.” Charlie teased as she pulled back and looked up t Brax. “Might be just what I need.” Brax smiled seductively before he kissed Charlie once again. The kiss became more passionate as Charlie worked on the buttons of Brax’s shirt. “Mummy mummy.” Riley shouted as she ran into the bedroom. Brax and Charlie both sighed lightly as they pulled back. Brax started to button his shirt up again, as Charlie looked down to their daughter. “What is it sweetie?”  “But we were about to have some adult fun.” Brax muttered. Charlie laughed lightly before she bit her lip. “I sure that can wait till tonight.” Charlie said. “Okay Riley, you don’t have to have a nap. Do you want to help mummy with the laundry?” “No.” Riley shook her head. “That boring. I go on bike.”  “Aww Riley what did you do?” “I fell off the tree.” Riley answered before sighing. “What you doing climbing trees?” Ruby laughed. “Me and Jacob and Ash playing pirates.” Riley answered. “So you fell out the tree because you were playing pirates?” Ruby questioned feeling confused. “Well it how you play.” Riley answered as if Ruby had said something stupid. “Oh sorry.” “She cut her knee.” Paige said as she touched the scab. “Ouch.” Riley screamed as she hit her sister. “Riley.” Charlie said. “You don’t hit.” “She touched my sore bit.” Riley answered. “Paige, you don’t do that either okay.” “Yes mummy.” Paige sighed as she continued to colour her picture. “Ruby we ride the bikes today.”  “Yes, because soon you might not be able to do any heavy lifting eh.” Charlie grinned. “What?” Ruby questioned. “Xavier said you were thinking about having a baby, so if that was the case, you wouldn’t be doing any heavy lifting.” “He told you?” Ruby sighed lightly. “Was he not supposed to?” “No.” Ruby exhaled. “I was going to keep it a surprise. You know, just rock up one day and tell you I was pregnant.” “Well I’ll pretend I didn’t have that conversation with Xavier then.” Charlie replied. “Haha. You know now.” Ruby said. “So, yeah.” Ruby nodded. “We have the album tour here in Australia from April till June then in July we have Hawaii with you guys, then its baby making time.”  “Oi.” Charlie hit Ruby’s arm. “I’m going spoil that grandbaby rotten.” “Well don’t complain about being a grandmother in your 30’s then.” Ruby said. “And besides, we are only going to start trying. It might not happen straight away.” “Well if you are anything like me it will.” Charlie said. “You were obviously just the one time, Jacob wasn’t even planned and I wound up pregnant and the twin’s was our first try.” “That’s lovely.” Ruby screwed her face up. “Thanks for letting me know about....that.” Charlie laughed lightly  “I mean there is a place we can rent in Mangrove River, but well it’s Mangrove River.” Ruby screwed her face up. “Oh yes and a multi-million record selling pop-star like you can’t be seen living in such a place.” Charlie laughed. “If it’s a problem for us to live here, we’ll rent the place out there.” Ruby sighed. “I just thought it would be nice. You know, I’ve very rarely been home the last few years.”  “Ciao Chalie.” Bella smiled as Liam put her down on the floor. “Hey Bella.” Charlie smiled as Bella ran over her. “You all ready for bed?” Bella nodded as she pulled on her pyjama top. “questi nuovi.” “Bella.” Bianca sighed. “If you don’t speak English then no more Dora the Explorer.” “No.” Bella pouted. “Mi piace italiano.” “Then no Dora.” Bianca shook her head. “I know you like speaking Italian but it’s very rude if no one else knows it.” “Si si Dora.” Bella said. “Then no Italian.” Bianca shook her head. Bella sighed lighty as she shook her head. “Okay.” Bella sighed. “I stop.” Bella pouted sadly before she climbed up onto Charlie’s knee. “My little pony.” Bella grinned as she pointed to her new pyjamas.  “What esciting?” Bella asked. “Auntie Charlie and Uncle Brax getting married.” Bianca answered. “What that?” Bella asked. “Like Ruby and Xavier did. And you got to wear your dress.”  “The beach for sure.” Charlie smiled. “Brax is such a beach bum...the kids love the beach, you know Rubes, Jacob and Riley love being in the ocean....me and Paige like our sunbathing....I think the beach fits us.”  . “So who’s the chief bridesmaid?” Bianca grinned. “Well I haven’t asked her yet, but I was thinking of giving that spot to Colleen, of course.” “Of course.” Bianca laughed.  “I thought you’d have Ruby though, to be honest.” “Nah.” Charlie shook her head. “I’d want her to give me away. You know since my dad cant do it, or even my mum...she’d be the next in line.”  “Don’t touch me.” Charlie said as she stepped back, causing her to bang into her car. Ryan smiled at her before he stepped forward and once again touch her. “It’s okay.” Ryan laughed. “Brax never needs to find out.” Ryan smiled as he placed a soft kiss on Charlie’s lips. “Don’t.” Charlie said as tried to push him away but he was too strong for her. “Shhh.” Ryan said as he continued to kiss her neck as he ran his hands under her top. “Brax....Brax....” Charlie yelled out. “Shhh.” Ryan said again as he continued to kiss her as he unzipped her jeans and pulled them down. Charlie struggled with him as she tried to push him away, but she couldn’t seem to find he strength. “Brax.” Charlie yelled out once again. “Brax help.” Ryan covered her mouth with his hand as he undid the button and zipper on his jeans before pulling them down. Charlie struggled from beneath him, trying her hardest to push him away, but it seemed she was paralysed with fear. No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t get him off her. “Oi.” Brax yelled just as Ryan was about to enter her. “Get off her.” Brax shouted as he pulled Ryan back and made a fist with his hand, landing a few punches on his face. Ryan fought back and punched Brax hard in the face, causing his nose to bleed.

WOAH !!!! about what Ryan said, but cooooooooooool that Charlie & Brax worked things out !!!! That was ACE !!!!!!!, especially …..  Brax was sitting at the dinner table, holding onto the business card in his hand. Ryan Sullivan....Ryan Sullivan....why did that name ring a bell to him, and why did Charlie have the business card for an advertising firm in her pocket? Ryan Sullivan, Brax read the name once more. ”Her ex.” Brax muttered.  Charlie pursed her lips together before she nodded lightly. She sat down at the table and Brax sat back down opposite her. “I ran into him last week, when I went out after our argument. We just talked and then I left. I ran into him again a few days ago, and then again this afternoon, but nothing ever happened. I swear Brax. I don’t want to be with anyone else.” Brax laughed lightly as he ran his hand over the table ledge. “So, you lied to me? How am I supposed to trust that you’re telling me the truth now?”  Were you at least tempted to go see him again?” Brax asked. Charlie exhaled lightly as she pursed her lips together, and this silence seemed to give Brax an indication of what her answer would be. “Well look how things are turning out now.” Brax said before he stood up and walked out of the house, slamming the door shut behind him. Charlie rubbed her face with her hands as she sighed. A slight tugging on her top brought her to remove her hands from her face and she looked down to see Riley standing before her.  “Well what do you want to do?” Charlie asked. “Eh...my new bike.” Riley smiled. “No.” Charlie shook her head. “You can’t go on your new bike.” “Why?” “Because it’s dark outside.” Charlie said. “Well I not do it yet.” Riley sighed. “How about we go out tomorrow and show you and Paige how to ride the bikes?” Charlie said and Riley nodded in excitement.  He looked around at all the drink that was displayed and fought with his demons as hard as he could. It was times like this when he felt he needed a drink most. When things with Charlie got tough, but thinking about how much he could end up losing, how much he would disappoint Charlie and thinking about his kids was enough to stop him reaching for the bottle. He loved his kids more than anything and there was no way he would risk doing anything that would cause him to lose them.  “Am I?” Ryan asked. “How does it feel to know you’re partner got intimate with another man? To know she kissed me, touched me, made love to me.” “Enough.” Brax yelled. “I don’t believe you.”  “You swear on the lives of the kids that you didn’t sleep with him?” “Yes.” Charlie sighed lightly. “Brax, I swear I didn’t. I didn’t even kiss him, there was nothing there....all we did was talk.”  “I guess I just.....I wanted someone to talk too.” Charlie wiped the tears from her face. “Bianca and Rubes...I know that I can talk to them and that they’d be great, but....they know us both and I guess I wanted to talk to someone who didn’t. Who wasn’t as....involved?” Charlie sighed. “I can see now why having this talk with Ryan would be a bad idea, but I just...I wanted a guy’s opinion too.” “Oh you can see now.” Brax said. “Here’s me thinking you’d gone completely crazy wanting to meet up with an ex again to talk about how your current boyfriend didn’t want to get married.”  “I’d like it if it did happen....love it even, but I know that we have it pretty great even if it doesn’t.” Charlie smiled lightly. “And it’s not like our relationship would change much, things would basically be the same as they are now. Maybe ever better.” Charlie said. “You know we’d be newlywed’s....Mr and Mrs....it would be new and exciting.” “Yeah.” Brax smiled. “And if things get difficult and we need to divorce that’s when it gets messy.”  so Charlie, will you accept my proposal, that one day....maybe soon, I’ll propose?” Charlie smiled lightly as Brax moved forward and got down on one knee. He pulled her promise ring out of his pocket – that he had put there upon his arrival back at the house – and held it up in front of Charlie. “Yes.” Charlie smiled. “I’ll accept your proposal to propose.” Brax smiled as he put the ring back on her finger before they met in a passionate kiss.  “I no want 'em.” Riley shook her head as she got off her bike. “Daddy take ‘em off.” “You need them sweetie.” Charlie said as she ran her hand through her daughters hair. “No. Jacob not.” Riley shook her head. “He did when he was your age.” Charlie answered and Riley shook her head. “I no want ‘em.” Riley said. “Daddy.” Riley looked up at Brax and fluttered her eye lashes. “I no need ‘em.” “We could always try her without them.” Brax said as he looked up at Charlie. “But she is my baby.” Charlie said. “I’ll help her.” Brax said. “I won’t let go till I think she is ready.” “But she is my baby.” Charlie said again. “No’s I not a baby.” Riley shook her head. “Paige is.” “No’s I not.” Paige raised her voice as she jumped of her bike and ran over to Riley. “You youngerist.” “No no.” Riley shook her head. “We the same.” “Uh-huh.” Paige nodded. “I twenty two olders than you ay mummy.” “22 minutes, yeah.” Charlie nodded. Paige stuck her tongue out at Riley who stuck hers right back out at her.  “Brax.” Charlie raised her voice. “Hold her steady.” “She’s fine.” Brax sighed as he held onto the back of the bike and started running behind Riley as she peddled down the path. “Go on sweetie, you’re doing good.” Brax smiled as he let go of the bike. Riley managed a few more metres before she came crashing down. “Baby.” Charlie shouted as she ran forward and picked up her daughter. Riley giggled as Charlie wiped the dust from her daughter’s shorts. “I’s okay.” Riley said. “I try again.” Riley climbed back up onto her bike and Brax walked forward and put his hand on the back of the bike and once again ran behind Riley as she peddled. When he felt certain she was balanced he let go and Riley continued down the path, riding her bike without support.  “Me too.” Brax said. “But at least now they get to be in our wedding.” Brax smiled as he once again placed a kiss on Charlie’s head. “Yeah.” Charlie grinned. “We might have trouble getting Riley in a dress again. You know I had to bribe her with cake for Ruby’s wedding?” “Yeah.” Brax laughed. “But I’m sure I’ll get her in a dress.” “Oh yeah and how do you plan on doing that?” Charlie questioned as she looked up to Brax. “Well that’s just daddy’s little secret.” Brax grinned before he placed a kiss on Charlie’s lips.

REALLY loved that Ruby baby thoughts bit !!!!!! That was ACE !!!!!!!, especially …..  “Me first, me first.” Riley jumped up and down excitedly as she tugged on Ruby’s arm. “Me me.” Paige shouted as she pulled on her other arm. “Girls, c’mon, let Ruby get inside.” Charlie pulled the girls back to let Ruby and Xavier into the house. “Hey.” Ruby smiled as she gave her mother a hug. “How was Bali?” Charlie questioned as they took a seat on the couch, with Riley claiming Ruby’s knee. Paige sighed lightly as she climbed up onto her mother’s knee. “It was great.” Ruby grinned. “We went to see these waterfalls, Mum they were beautiful. We went to the waterpark, we went to Turtle Island, we went parasailing....oh it was so great.” “And that’s when we left the room.” Xavier grinned. “Xav.” Ruby smacked his leg. “This is my mum we are talking too.” “Ah c’mon, I know you talk about that stuff.” Xavier said. “Well my sisters are here and they’ve just turned 3.”  “No.” Paige shook her head. “They want me to eat Dora.” Paige sighed. “I no eat her.” “Aww it wasn’t really Dora.” Ruby said. “It would just be her face on the cake.” “No. It the real her.”  “Oh...oh....oh.” Paige giggled. “We got bikes.” “Mines is red.” Riley said. “It cool.” “Yeah.” Charlie smiled. “They’ve got little baskets on the front and little seats on the back for your baby dolls don’t they?” “Yeah.” Paige nodded. “Mines is pink. The best colour.”  “Well, we’ve been talking about that, and Ruby wants to start trying for a baby soon, so she said that after this album tour, she wants to take a break for the band.” “Wow a baby.” Charlie said. “That’s big.” “Tell me about it.” Xavier said. “But, I’m also excited to see if it happens.” “And has Ruby discussed this with the rest of the band?” “Well to be honest, I was hoping it was just going to be me and her doing the whole baby thing together.”  “So a catch up with an old friend wouldn’t hurt would it?” “Didn’t we do that in the bar last week?” Charlie asked and Ryan nodded lightly.

REALLY enjoyed that, especially …..  ‘Okay Mama’ she bundled herself towards Bianca and looked shyly at Heath who was in awe of how similar she looked to Bianca but she had his eyes, he could tell. ‘who this mama?’ she asked ‘Heath crouched down and smiled, ‘I am your daddy’ Lola scrunched up her face ‘ no I don’t know my daddy’ ‘Lola’ Bianca said as she went down to her eye level ‘This is your dad’ ‘Daddy?’ she said as her eyes widened, which tugged, on Heath’s heartstrings.  Max’s eyes widened as he took in the new piece of information that his mother had just given him, Heath couldn’t blame him as he took it in, he knew that the twins had to process the information and decided to sweeten the atmosphere by giving them with Bianca’s permission which he had gleamed from a nod of the hood, a box of chocolates.  She nodded and then began to get the kids ready for a trip to the beach where she was sure that Heath would bond with the kids. Heath watched as Max and Lola paddle in the sea, he loved them instantly, they were two lively kids, he was surprised that Lola was more like him than Max was.  Heath couldn’t help but smile back at her, she had that glow of her, motherhood clearly suited her, but he couldn’t help but feel cheated out of their childhood. If he was brutally honest with himself, he was terrified that he would never get the closeness that she had with the kids.  He loved those kids, it was good to see them so happy and he loved spoiling them. Lola had to be the cheekiest 4 year old he had ever met. Deep down, he was not happy with Bianca for her actions but at the same time, Charlie was right, it had been 4 years. There comes a time when you have to let go of the pain and the heartache, don’t hold a grudge, just live your life. Essentially the children came first in this  ‘Alright missy’ She picked up the box from Heath’s hand and then looked at Brax grinning as she opened it and Charlie and Bianca’s mouths opened wide as Brax and Heath tried to stifle their laughs at their expressions. ‘Uncle!’ Lola demanded as her patience began to wane, she wanted him to ask her. ‘Charlie Buckton’ he said as Charlie stared at him. She didn’t know what to say, she knew what he was going to ask but she was in shock. Lola stood next to him holding the small black box with a diamond solitaire ring inside coupled with a grinning Lola, it was enough to make Charlie beam at Brax as he asked ‘Will you marry me and make me the happiest man ever?’ Lola looked at Charlie secretly plotting to hit either of them if she didn’t get an answer straight away. Heath slowly plucked the ring out of Lola’s hands and gave it to Brax before pulling her away and letting Charlie answer. Charlie smiled inanely. ‘Yes! Of course I will!’ which elicited a scream of joy from both Bianca and Lola who had ran to Charlie and hugged her pushing Brax out of the way who had intended on hugging and kissing Charlie. ‘Ah its beautiful’ Bianca said as she looked at the ring. ‘Wow’ ‘Thank you’ she beamed yet again, she loved Brax and knew that she was going to be happy with him by her side but she watched Bianca play with Max and Lola and felt a pang of pain hit her, she wanted to talk to Ruby again. She lost contact with her and it was about time she found her again, she deserved to know what had happened over the past 5 years and she wanted her daughter back in Summer Bay where she belonged.

Man !!!! That was just the BEST !!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED it, especially …..  “I mean everyone around me....Rubes just got married, you’ve just got engaged...I just wish that for me, one day, that would have happened too.” “You know you do have it pretty good.” Bianca said. “The great kids, the boyfriend who would do absolutely anything for you -” “Except marry me.” Charlie sighed.  “Has he spoken yet?” Charlie asked and Bianca shook her head. “No. So that’s another reason I’m not so sure he should be going to school just yet.”  “If you are looking for the candles they are up the top there.” Brax said as he opened the cupboard and took them off the top shelf. “What are they doing up there?” Charlie asked. “We normally leave them in that drawer.” “Yeah. But remember after Jacob’s last birthday he took to an obsession of lighting them.” “Oh he did.” Charlie answered. “Yeah, well to save him setting fire to the house I moved the candles and the matches out of his reach.” “Ah, I just thought he’d got over the ‘oohh fire’ phase.” “No.” Brax laughed. “Just couldn’t find the tools he needed.” “Right, well thanks.” Charlie smiled weakly at him before taking the matches and candles from his hands and sticking 3 candles into the Dora the Explorer cake. Just as she went to strike a match, Brax’s hand went out and stopped her. “Brax, not now.” Charlie said as she looked up to him, knowing what he wanted to talk about. “Charlie -” “I’m sorry.” Charlie exhaled lightly. “I’ve been such a bitch to you this past week.” “It’s not like I didn’t deserve it.” Brax sighed. “I should never have made that promise to you if I didn’t have any intentions of following it through. I should be the one who is sorry. And seeing how important this is to you, babe, I just want to make you happy, and this clearly isn’t making you feel happy.” “But I don’t want to force you into doing something that you don’t want to do.” “You’re not going to force me, Charlie.” Brax shook his head. “If you want this, and you clearly clearly do, then it’s what I want too. I just want you to be happy and if us getting married is going to do that for you, then I want to do it.” Charlie smiled lightly, unsure that Brax only wanting to do this to make Charlie happy was the best reason to get married. “Well let’s just leave it at that for now and not let it get any further in case the conversation turns. I don’t want to argue on the twins 3rd birthday.” “You mean their three day.” Brax laughed. “Yes.” Charlie nodded. “Their three day.”  “I came to see if you two weren’t killing each other but I see quite the opposite.”  “Buon Compleanno.” Bella clapped. “Bon com what?” Jacob asked. “She said Happy Birthday in Italian.” Bianca answered. “Bella likes to speak Italian.” Liam said. “Confuses everyone except her Mamma.” “Mamma, ho bisogno di una pipì.” “Bella.” Bianca sighed. “How many times do I need to tell you. No Italian unless I speak it.” “No no.” Bella shook her head. “Ho bisogno di una pipì.” “Come on then.” Bianca said as she stood up and took her daughter to the bathroom.  “Daddy.” Paige started to cry. “You cut Dora.” “Yeah. I’m supposed too.” Brax laughed. “No.” Paige shook her head. “Not Dora.” “Yeah.” Charlie nodded as Paige walked over to her and she lifted her daughter onto her knee. “We are going to eat the cake.” “No.” Paige cried. “I no eat Dora.” Jacob giggled at his sister as he got off the chair. “It’s not real Dora silly. It’s just a cake.” “No.” Paige shook her head. “I no eat her.”  “Why dont you talk?” Jacob asked and once again Ash just looked up at him without saying anything. “We can be the bestest friends.” Jacob smiled. “Like my mummy and you’re...Bee-Bee. They’re the best of friends and we can be too.” Ash sighed lightly as he listened to Jacob. Bianca and Bella came out of the bathroom and Bella ran back outside, but Bianca walked over to the kitchen as she heard Jacob talking. “Is you not talking cos your Mummy is in heaven?” Jacob asked and Ash gave a slight nod of the head. “I know you sad but you gotta talk.” Jacob nodded. “It’s good too talk.” Ash shook his head lightly. “My tummy daddy is in heaven too and I never know him.” Jacob sighed. “But I got the bestest daddy in my daddy Brax and Bianca will be the best mummy too you because she is good.” Jacob said and Bianca smiled as she stood and listened to Jacob. “After my mummy she is best lady to me so I know she will be best to you.” Bianca smiled lightly before she walked into view of the boys. “You boys going to go get some cake?” Bianca questioned and Jacob nodded before he jump down from the worktop and ran out of the house. “You okay there Ash?” Ash nodded lightly as he held his arms out and Bianca walked forward and lifted him into her arms. He looked at her and ran his finger around her face before resting it at the end of her nose. He smiled lightly before he leaned forward and placed a kiss on her cheek. “I like cake.” Ash smiled. Bianca smiled as she placed a soft kiss on his forehead before she placed him back down on the ground as he ran outside excitedly with Bianca following.

That was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo ACE, especially …..  Dex has this recurring nightmare that he’s going to turn up to school and Casey will have told the entire student body that they used to hook up, and as a result everyone turns on him. He has slanderous words scrawled into his locker and has to have the whispered gay synonyms follow him around like a shadow. But for some reason Casey remains untouched. He stands tall among his peers while they taunt and tease him, even though Dex realises there are worse things to be called than just gay.  Dex has the scars to prove that it’s a much too dangerous conquest to even be seen socialising with Casey outside of school time, let alone getting romantically involved.  It’s almost scary how well she knows him.  “A party,” she repeats, shooting a confused look between the two of them. “Like, loud music and hot guys and lots of alcohol. Although, the hot guys part of the equation pertains mostly to me, but whatever. There’s still music and booze.”  It’s not that Dex dislikes Ruby exactly; he just, doesn’t find her all that interesting, so he sort of stopped listening the moment she approached the table.  She’s got this small smile on her lips, and Dex can’t really look at her face because if he does his eyes might betray how he really feels.  “Look, April,” Dex says, leaning forward in his chair. He thinks about reaching out and taking her hands, it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve done it. But somehow, with Dex no longer oblivious to everything going on around him, it seems like it would be crossing some sort of line. “I really, really appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Like, more than you will probably ever know, but --” “Don’t,” April says, cutting him off. “Don’t say anything. I get it.” She nods and Dex suddenly feels horrible for being like this. It isn’t April’s fault Dex is mentally unstable, she is the one person who has been his constant throughout this whole ordeal, and now he’s trying to push her away for no good reason. “And don’t stress about the party,” April adds as she stands and leaves Dex at the table by himself.

WAAAAAAAY enjoyed that, especially …..  "Are you sure?" asked Ruby, she knew the question she was asking wasn't about her making sure Charlie was ready, it was more about herself. Letting go and saying a final goodbye wasn't something she was sure she was ready to do yet, maybe never. Charlie knew Ruby too much to miss the hesitancy in her voice that almost resembled fear  Although she had only been at the hospital for a little over twenty minutes, Charlie felt as though days had passed her by.  Ruby smiled at Charlie "I'm sorry but you're not getting rid of me that easily", Elise and Ross laughed lightly along with Charlie at her words. Looking at Charlie as she closely studied Ruby, Elise wondered how Ruby hadn't figured it out yet. Surly she could see that Charlie's love and protectiveness exceeded that of a sister. Each passing day the resemblance between the two of them grew more and more, and their similarities even surprised the people around them.  Soon after, the same doctor walked back into Ruby's room, causing Charlie to dart up from where she was seated as she began throwing questions at him. Unfortunately the doctor refused to discuss the problem without the presence of either Ross or Elise. Getting more frustrated at his constant refusal to give her a straight answer to any of her questions Charlie's patience began growing thin as her parents had yet to return. Although the doctor was a little taken aback by Charlie's behaviour it was nothing Ruby hadn't seen before. Charlie had always been protective of her, but they were very close and Ruby had put it down to the fact that apart from their parents they only had each other. "I don't understand why you can't just tell me, you already know I'm family I don't see what the problem is" Charlie continued to protest "Like I said we need to address her parents on this issue" "OK... so tell me then" by now Charlie's words were no longer registered in her mind before she spoke Sighing lightly the doctor responded "You're not her parent, I need..." Almost as if being taken over by an unknown force, Charlie's words left her lips without warning "But I'm her mum", Charlie hands rapidly flew to her mouth as she realised what she had just said. Keeping her back turned to Ruby she hoped the young girl had missed her words but unfortunate such luck refused to grace Charlie with its presence  It all made so much sense now, the way Charlie always acted, her overbearing protectiveness and their uncanning resemblance that had been pointed out by others on more than countable occasions.  Charlie remembered how long it had taken before Ruby had even acknowledged her existence after that day. It was precisely Three weeks and two days, she remembered Ruby's questions, all the whys; Charlie wanted nothing more than to protect her from the truth but she knew too well that lying to her would only cause more trouble. She remembered her daughter's tears as she revealed to her how she had been conceived. It broke her heart seeing her in such pain and distress; she sat as she watched her twelve year old daughter cruelly have to take in the information of what had happened to her all those years ago. Deciding not to give a detailed account of what had transpired that night, she knew it still wouldn't take away from what Ruby would have been feeling. She watched as the tears that had filled her eyes slowly made their way down her cheeks. The pain Charlie felt having to tell Ruby about what Grant had done to her seemed to surpass the actual event. After what had happened she never thought she would again get to feel Ruby's embrace, but here they were two years later and closer than they had ever been. Regardless of the time it took to rebuilding their relationship from scratch, if everything they had been through was destined to lead them to this moment then Charlie wouldn't take that time back for the world. Finally pulling away from Charlie, Ruby wiped her tears away before looking around the house for the first time since she entered from the beach

Six WAAAAAAAAAAY ACE updates !!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOVED that, especially …..  Indi was by herself in the waiting room at the maternity ward. Heath had to work. "Indigo Walker!" Indi winced. She wished Heath was here. She walked in and layed down. "Do you know who the father is?" Indi took a deep breath and counted to ten. "Yes...He had to work..." The nurse nodded.  Heath was angry at Brax because he didn't let him go to the ultrasound. "I will never forgive you!" Brax shakes his head. "Sorry! You need to work so you can buy a crib!" Heath watched as Indi ran up and gave him a hug. "Is everything alright with the baby?" Indi didn't answer for a while. "Yes... They asked me if I knew who the father was! I felt embarrassed!" Heath glared at Brax who came over. "Sorry Indi..." "This time Brax it's not Ok!" Indi stormed out of Angelos without saying another word.  "It was the most embarrassing moment of my life! I could've punched the girls face in after she said it!" Brax knew Indi was stubborn. "You need the money for a crib and clothes and stuff! I thought I was helping!" Indi nods. "I know you were trying to help...I'm over it!" Brax was confused. Did she just she doesn't care anymore?  After work Indi was down at the beach relaxing when Mink showed up again. "You've got a bit of a belly now!" Indi frowned. "Thanks!" Mink shakes her head. "Why did you brake up with Romeo?" "Because he's a cheater!" "So what!" Indi gets up and leaves not wanting to talk to Mink anymore.  "Whats all this?" Indi came out wearing black dress. Her bump now showing a tiny bit.  "You had left me when I told you I was pregnant..." Heath frowned. "I would never ever do that! To anybody! Especially the girl I love!" Indi's eyes widened. "You said that you love me!" Heath nodded.  "I didn't know that!" Indi sighed. "Because it has nothing to do with you! But...If you must know! I'm dating Heath!" Casey faked cough urging Indi to tell the rest of the story."And I'm pregnant,lets just say Doctor Walker wasn't happy!" April walks over and gives Indi a hug. "Congrats!" "Thank you April! I made some cookies do you want some?" Casey and April grab two cookies each and walk off to Casey's room  Casey come and help me in the kitchen!" "Do I-" Indi cut him off. "NOW!" Indi and Casey walked into the kitchen."I don't know if you noticed but things are going great! DON'T! Stuff it up! You hear me?" Casey nodded"Good! No more comments!" They walk back outside to continue the night.  Indi was taking a walk along the beach when she overheard a conversation between Heath and his friends. "How's the Mrs" "Annoying!" Indi wished that it wasn't Heath. "How come your with her then?" "Because she's pregnant!" Indi couldn't help herself she ran out in front of Heath. "Wanna tell me what you just said?" Heaths face dropped. "Indi!" Indi had tears in her eyes. "Heath don't worry about me being annoying, because you wont see me!" Indi ran away with Heath going after her.  "I...guess I didn't want to sound to the boys..." right then Indi thought poor excuse but anyway. "Am I really that annoying?" Heath shakes his head."Look me in the eye and tell me that I'm not annoying!" Heath looked her in the eyes. "Your not annoying at all! Your amazing! Smart! Beautiful and kind! I'm just and Idiot that was lucky enough to have but was stupid enough to lose you..." Indi was flattered and angry at the same time! "I forgive you...But I'm not living with you just yet..." Heath smiled slightly.  She's giving birth! How do you think she is?" Sasha started to cry"Sorry Sash!" Brax gives the teenager a hug.  Indi was buggered she rolled over to look at her beautiful daughter.Roxi had angel like features.Stunning blue eyes,a little bit bit of wispy blond hair.  Indi was leaving the hospital with Roxi she decided that she needed to live with Heath...for Roxi's sake of course! "You ready to go?" Indi nodded. "Can't wait to get out of here!" Heath laughed. Roxi was asleep in Indi's arms."Could you put her in the car seat please?" Heath takes the sleeping Roxi out of Indi's arms. "Yep!" Heath puts Roxi in the car seat and turns to Indi."I'm sorry about what I said,can you forgive me?" Indi bit her lip. Heath said some pretty nasty things about her. "Look,I guess I'll have to,but lets get one thing clear! You do not talk about me to the boys!" Heath nodded.Indi smiled."Oh! and another thing,your sleeping on the couch for a week!" Heath sighed  "Bianca! I know you're jealous of Indi! But that was just stupid!" April watched as Bianca stuffed her face with ice-cream."Stop eating for once!" Bianca looked up. "I'm depressed my little sister has a Braxton for a boyfriend! While mine is in rehab!" April really didn't see her point.  Since Indi had forgiven Heath for what he said everything was going great! Indi and Heath were on a movie date when one the ads came on it read 'Indi Walker will you marry me?' everyone in the cinema was looking around trying to fin out who Indi walker was. "Yes! yes I will!" Indi leaned over and kissed Heath. everybody clapped and cheered.  "Since your marrying Heath can bake some cookies please?"Indi laughed. She obviously said yes thought Casey. "Righto! Smarties or chocolate?" Casey looked at Heath.

Soooooo enjoyed that, especially …..  “No. Jacob went to a nightclub and Riley and Paige decided to go see a late movie.” “Charlie.” Brax sighed. “Well it’s almost 10pm.” Charlie sighed. “Of course they are in bed.” Brax shook his head lightly as he took a seat on the couch. “What are you doing home anyways? You’re normally later than this.”  “No.” Charlie shook her head. “We don’t. You don’t ever want to get married and I do. We both have different opinions on the matter and I don’t see how we are going to solve it. Or well...you get your way at least.” Charlie sighed. “I guess this makes one of us happy.” “Charlie I love you so much and if marriage is something I have to do to keep you...then I guess...let’s do it.” “Was that a proposal?” Charlie questioned. “How romantic. If, I guess...” Charlie shook her head. “I don’t want to stand up there on my wedding day and marry someone when I know that their hearts not in it.” Charlie sniffed back. “Look, Brax, I’m upset that you don’t want this, but it’s not worth breaking up over. If I have to, I can live without marriage because it sure would beat living without you.” Brax smiled lightly as he moved closer to Charlie. “That’s nice, but....you just if I have to.”  “What’s this?” Brax asked as he picked it up to see a drawing that was supposed to resemble a boy on a surfboard riding a wave, and a man standing in the water watching. “Oh, it’s from Jacob.” Charlie said. “He drew it for you in school today.” Brax smiled as he noticed the ‘love you daddy’ written across the bottom of the picture he walked over to the fridge and picked up a fridge magnet and put the drawing onto the fridge. “He wanted to give you it himself, but obviously he’s long been in bed, but I told him I’d make sure you’d get it.” “Guess he got over yesterday’s little ‘You’re not my real daddy’ episode.” Brax smiled as he took the jar of hot chocolate from the cupboard and put some into the mugs. “I told you he would.”  Charlie and the girls were in Yabbie Creek, doing some last minute shopping for their birthday party the next day. “Look mummy, mummy look look.” Riley said excitedly as she held her hand up towards her. “How did you get that?” Charlie asked as she looked down at the ladybug that was sitting on Riley’s finger. “It just landed there.” Riley replied. “Ohh I want one.” Paige said excitedly as she looked up at her mother. “I can’t get you one sweetie.” Charlie shook her head. “Why?” Paige asked. “I will keep it as a pet.” Riley smiled. “Lady the ladybug.” “I want one.” Paige said, getting more frustrated. “Paige I can’t get you one.” Charlie said. “Riley you can’t keep the ladybug.” “But it mines.” Riley sighed. “I want one.” Paige jumped up and down on the spot in frustration. Charlie exhaled lightly before she blew softly on Riley’s hand and the ladybug flew away. “Mummy.” Riley said as she welled up with tears. “That my pet.” Paige giggled at her sister. “I no have it you can’t.”  “Who is you?” Riley asked as she looked up at him. “I’m R -” “He’s an old friend of mummy’s.” Charlie said. “But we need to go and get the balloons and something for Bella and Ash’s party bags, so say goodbye to the man.” “Bye.” Paige and Riley chorused as they waved. “Oh, eh bye girls.” Ryan smiled as Paige started to run circles around Charlie. “Oh wait Mr.” Riley smiled. “It my 3 day tomorrow.”  “Eh, so maybe we could catch up again sometime?” Ryan questioned. “Eh, no.” Charlie shook her head. “Sorry I don’t think it would be a good idea.”

Sooooooooooooooooooooo funny !!!!! LOOOOVED it, especially …..  The darkness of the night has taken its hold over Summer Bay. The gentle noise of chirping crickets can be heard through the peaceful air. Everyone should be sound asleep but for one man this is his favourite time, for this is the time where he can enjoy the guilty pleasures that his hungry stomach so desires. Because to him food tastes so much better when one should not be eating at this late hour. But as he lets his eyes wander over all the glorious mouth watering treats before him on offer his stomach rumbles. Oh there is so much choice here, left over chicken, spare ribs little pork balls, cheesecake or a chocolate cake oh dearly God he just can’t take any more. Licking his lips viscously he is all but ready to pounce to devour the tasty treats before him well that is until there is the sound of some annoying tapping at the door and a voice calling out which confuses the hungry man. “Hello there.” Miles, “Hello?” Duncan Foster, “I didn’t know whether to come back or not. I really didn’t expect anyone up at this time what are you doing?” Miles, “Oh just getting myself a light snack. Would you say six chicken drumsticks a slice of cheesecake and some……. Woooo left over pizza is enough?” Duncan, “My word I would say so yes, that is more than a light snack through. Abit more like a feast. Miles, “Oh no that is light trust me.” Duncan, “Well you know your own stomach.” Miles, “Oh yes that I do.”  Leah, “Miles what are you doing in here? Are you talking to the food again? Shut that fridge door your letting the heat get to it.”  Leah, “Yes phew how would you feel if he had eaten someone again?” VJ, “Oh Mom please don’t I’m tired.” Duncan, “Excuse me but where is your dog?” VJ, “Over with his brothers.” Leah, “Here we will drive you over there. Miles put that cheesecake down and go fetch Bam- Bam from upstairs.” Leah and VJ then start to guide a very confused Duncan Foster outside.  BANG. John, “What is that?” Gina, “Well what ever it is its better than your snoring.” BANG.  Heath, “TELL THE OLD BAG WE WILL STOP IT, SO SHE CAN GET HER BEAUTY SLEEP BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T HALF NEED IT”  Miles, “Let’s spilt up and look for him.” Leah, “Oh God no Miles.” VJ, “Yeah people are never seen again when they do that in horror films.”  Duncan, “You people are utter bonkers werewolves are mystic creatures.” Brax, “Hey don’t call my brother mystic, ah Case good you’re here with the steaks.”  Leah, “What so we are really splitting up?” Brax, “No for heaven sake Charlie we are not.” Leah, “Huh?” Brax, “Oh sorry its just I have heard that question so often from Charlie that I was just on autopilot. But yes we are splitting up into small groups we will find Heath quicker that way everyone take a steak.”  Casey, “Come on let’s go already, Ruby says she wanted to show me her hotel room on Skype in half hour.” Miles, “At this hour?” Casey, “She said she can’t sleep. Charlie keeps pacing the room.” Miles, “Sounds like she’s abit lovesick to me.  John, “Just a minute Heath’s gone walkies I cant miss this.” Gina rolls over in bed having a little moan to herself. Gina, “So much for an good nights sleep. Oh well I just have a little dose tomorrow in the governors meeting. I will make sure I sit right at the back.”  John, “Hey Gina love this looks like it’s going to get good.” Duncan, “His behind me isn’t he?” John, “Well I shouldn’t move mate let’s just put it that way.”  Brax, “Well I’m going to try and talk calmly to him he is my brother after all.” Duncan, “Does he listen to you?” Brax, “No not normally eh.” Duncan, “Oh my that is very comforting thank you.”  Leah points to a naked Heath sitting down in the long grass tearing chunks of meat off bone. Brax, “Heath?” Heath, “Yeah I know, Heath where are your clothes?”  Heath, “Very nice abit too much ginger flavouring through I think.”  Casey, “Oh fine if your werewolf of a brother eating his vet is fine.” Ruby, “Wow that’s intense.” Casey, “Yeah Rubes is that Charlie I can see in the background?” Ruby, “Yes she’s like a priming puppy ever since she left Brax.” Charlie, “Oh Rubes isn’t this just beautiful?” Charlie shoves a golden framed photo of a grinning Brax in front of the laptop.  Ruby, “Your see Braxy Wax…I mean Brax in a week.” Charlie, “A WEEK, A WEEK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”

Jacob is just sooooooooo ACE, and I LOVED Charlie in that chapter !!!!!! REALLY enjoyed that, especially …..  “Because I wanted a drink and in case you haven’t noticed we don’t have alcohol in this house anymore thanks to you.” Charlie spat and Brax sighed lightly before he shook his head.  “So, you just sat at the bar yourself?” Brax questioned. “Yes.” Charlie nodded. “I did.” She knew telling him about Ryan would only cause more trouble, and it’s not as if anything happened, they just talked that’s all.  “I scared.” Paige whimpered. “Scared of what?” Charlie asked as she moved her soft brown locks from her face. “It so dark.” Paige said. “And that wind is loud.” “You don’t need to be scared of the wind.” Charlie said softly. “Uh-huh.” Paige nodded. “It so loud.” “You know it can’t hurt you.” Charlie said. “Hey Paige, how about we get some warm chocolate milk then daddy will take you back to bed?” “No.” Paige cuddled into Charlie. “I stay with mummy.” “You want to stay in mummy’s bed tonight?” Charlie questioned and Paige nodded. “Okay, well just for tonight.” Charlie said as she walked over to the bed and put Paige down. Paige crawled to the top and slid herself under the covers before looking back at Charlie. “You come now?” Paige asked as she patted Charlie’s pillow. “Yeah, I’m coming too.” Charlie smiled as she opened the drawer and pulled out some pyjamas and made her way out to the bathroom, with Brax following her.  “Oh right enough.” Charlie exhaled. “Since I am spending your money, I’ll give you an account of everything I do from now on shall I?” “Charlie, you’re just being stupid now.” Brax sighed and Charlie shrugged her shoulders as she grabbed her tooth brush and put some toothpaste onto it before she began to clean her teeth. “So I guess you don’t want to continue the conversation on marriage either?” Brax questioned after a few moments silence. “What’s left to say?” Charlie asked as she spat into the sink before putting her toothbrush back into the holder. “I can’t exactly gag you and force you down the aisle so I guess you get your way there.” Charlie sighed. “Congratulations. We’re never getting married.”  “Well I drawed a picture in class today for my tummy daddy.” Jacob said shyly. “And I wanted to give him it.” “Oh.” Charlie nodded lightly as she bit her lip. “Sure, how about later on we go up to graveyard and I’ll show you his grave and you can leave the picture there.”  “Hi tummy daddy.” Jacob smiled. “I’m Jacob. Mummy said you went up to heaven when I was a baby so I no remember you but I have the best daddy now at home so you don’t have to worry. He showed me to ride my bike and to surf. I love to surf, it’s the best and me and daddy have lots of fun when we go to surf. I think mummy is scared when I go but I’ll be fine. Is this okay mummy?” Jacob asked he looked up to her.  “Oh.” Jacob said sadly. “I have none grandparents.” “No.” Charlie shook her head. Even though Brax had started to reconcile with his mother after Casey’s death, they soon drifted again, Cheryl saying a little drink wouldn’t hurt and Brax wanting to remain sober being the main cause, she was a bad influence and Brax didn’t need that. “But you have me, and daddy and Rubes, Paige and Riley, Xavier, Auntie Bee-Bee, Liam, Leah, Miles, Irene, Colleen....you have lots of people who love you.” “Yeah.” Jacob smiled. “I guess I do. Can we go get some ice-cream?”

Chocolate mud cake monster !!! Liambacca singing the H&A theme!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOVED that, especially …..  Why’s do you deserve such good fortune and fame? Because it very much can’t be for your manners. You just made me bang on my head on a rock solid piece of stone wall. I am quite blind here you know? You do know that don’t you?” Minka Fett laughs. “Oh quit it with all your high and mightily stuff please. Your spoiling our nice little bonding moment, you never know in another life we quite of been brother and sister.” Minka Fett says feeling a touch of sudden sadness, deep down she had wished for a brother just like Romeo Solo. “Oh please don’t that would truly be awful” Romeo says. “You can insult me all you like, but I will be the one laughing when I buy my new surf boards with my cut from Harvey the Hutt for your capture.” “Oh it’s a shame I won’t be there to see you fall off your soooooooooooo expensive broad don’t…….” “Shut it” Minka Fett and Romeo both listen as the most painful and agonizing sound floats through the air towards them.  “You better get off him Captain, he could have fleas.” then Minka Frett dashes away as fast as her feet would allow her.  “Oh you thought you would write a song for AprilD2’s friend BinicaD7 in case you meet her someday. Plus it passes the time while we wait for Xavier to come rescue us Laimbacca nods sounding to Romeo very proud at the work he had been doing.  Liambacca then starts to sing his lyrics of his new song entitled Fur Ball And Away, which was dedicated to BanicaD7 and would surely start to melt her bolts when and if she heard it. You know we belong together, you and I forever and ever. No matter where you are, you're my guiding star. ……AND the rst of the song  “Why of course it’s not just the fish my lovely. I am a male there for my eyes are partial for the odd wander, when other delights are on offer.” Harvey the Hutt then laughs as Indi gives him a quick backhand across his face.  “I will? Have you got the licence to see him?” “No.” “Well I…. oh what the hell come in.” “You serve your master well the hooded figure says as he takes a step inside.  SURPRISE, now listen to me Harvey you will bring Romeo Solo and the musician to me.” the last part of Xavier’s order is meet with a bark of laughter from Minka Fett. “Trust me that fur ball is no musician.”  “Oh I do believe he has just fell down my handy big gaping hole I so happen to have in my floor.” Harvey the Hutt says letting out another belly laugh. “Oh I do believe he has just fell down my handy big gaping hole I so happen to have in my floor.” Harvey the Hutt says letting out another belly laugh.  “Oh don’t worry his only down there with some of my leftover chocolate mud cake.” Harvey the Hutt then smiles a most evil cocky looking grin, which makes Dex3PO, AprilD2 and Indi to shudder backwards ever so slightly with fear. “That’s alive” Harvey the Hutt laughs Princess Indigo frowns. “Why and how is there a piece of alive chocolate mud cake down there with him?” Indi asks. Harvey the Hutt shrugs. “I don’t know it just suits the plot I guess.”  “Oh I do believe he has just fell down my handy big gaping hole I so happen to have in my floor.” Harvey the Hutt says letting out another belly laugh. “Oh my Master Xavier are you alright?” Dex3PO asks feeling overwhelmed with panic. “Oh don’t worry his only down there with some of my leftover chocolate mud cake.” Harvey the Hutt then smiles a most evil cocky looking grin, which makes Dex3PO, AprilD2 and Indi to shudder backwards ever so slightly with fear. “That’s alive” Harvey the Hutt laughs Princess Indigo frowns. “Why and how is there a piece of alive chocolate mud cake down there with him?” Indi asks. Harvey the Hutt shrugs. “I don’t know it just suits the plot I guess.” Meanwhile deep down in the dark hole Xavier Skywalker could smell the sweet aroma’s of mouth watering chocolate as the chocolate mud cake monster approached. Xavier turned quickly as he felt big drops of chocolate drop onto his head. “Oh no way am I going to be death by chocolate Xavier says as he lights a handy piece of wood which just happened to be laying there as was the lucky match. Xavier chucks the wooden plank at the chocolate monster and watches it melt. This makes Harvey the Hutt very angry as he can hear the wails of his beloved monster from the depths far below. Xavier meanwhile has found a secret passageway back into the room. “Dude is that all you have to frighten me with?” Xavier laughs. It is at this point that Romeo and Laimbacca are led into the room by Minka Fett “No it’s not I have some other plans up my sleeve for all you, young Skywalker along with your friends Romeo Solo and Liambacca.” Harvey the Hutt lets out yet another belly laugh.

Get the feeling Charlie’s gonna hope Brax will go all green eyed monster if she …..initiates something with Ryan !!! LOOVED that, especially …..  “Good.” Brax grinned. “It might even help Jacob bond with me.” “What you talking about?” Charlie questioned. “You and Jacob get on great.” “You know when you told me that you told him about Angelo and that he still said I was his dad, it made me happy but there was a part of me that got worried things would change and before when you went to read the girls a story, I asked him how he was doing with his homework and he said I wasn’t his real daddy and ran away to his room. And I saw....he’d put Angelo down as his dad on the family tree.” Brax said sadly. “I’m scared he is going to...” Brax trailed off as he shook his head. “Look Brax.” Charlie shook her head as she put the coffee cup down on the coffee table and turned to face him. “He’s 6 years old. He’s just found out you’re not his real dad and he can never know his real dad because he is dead. He’s probably just confused. Give him a few days and he’ll be fine.” “You’re sure?” Brax questioned. “I know my son.” Charlie answered. “He said yesterday that you were the best because you taught him to ride a bike and to surf....he loves you Brax, and he thinks of you as his dad. Why would he want to be a Braxton so bad if he didn’t?” “He really asked to be a Braxton?” Brax questioned and Charlie nodded. “What would you think about that? Changing his name?” Brax asked. Charlie took a deep breath before she bit her lip. “If we were to get married then I have no problems in changing his name to Braxton. But until then he will remain Buckton-Rosetta.” “Only if we get married?” Brax asked. “Why only if we get married?” “Well if I can’t be a Braxton then there’s no way I am going to change my son’s name to Braxton.”  “A big party?” Charlie questioned. “That’s all you think a wedding is?” “Well what else is it?” Brax asked. “How about a commitment of our love? Showing our friends and the kids how much we mean to each other and that we want to be together forever. The beginning of the rest of our lives together.” “We have that all without marriage.” Brax sighed. “I love you so much and I always will. I don’t have much faith in marriage and I don’t want to wreck what we have.” Brax shook his head. “I’m sorry but it’s not a big deal for me.” “What about me?” Charlie asked. “I believe in marriage. I want to stand up in front of my children and my friends and commit to spending the rest of my life with the man I love.” “But babe we are already committed to each other. We have kids and they are bigger commitment and a bigger symbol of our love that any marriage ever would be.” “So this here.” Charlie said as she took the promise ring from her finger and held it up in front of Brax’s face. “This was just a lie? I remember when you gave me this, and then again at Ruby and Xavier’s wedding you told me that this meant a proposal would be coming.” “I thought maybe...maybe you’d be happy enough with that.” “What the promise of a proposal that would never come? Lovely Brax, just lovely.” Charlie shook her head. “I’d rather you were just honest with me from the start. I told you I didn’t want kids rom the start. Didn’t I?” “Yeah, and what are Paige and Riley?” Brax questioned. “You changed your mind about kids I might change my mind about marriage.” “I didn’t change my mind.” Charlie shook her head. “I agreed to have a baby with you because I love you and I didn’t want to lose you and I knew it would have gone that way if I didn’t give you a biological child. And don’t get me wrong, I love those little girls more than life itself, but if I didn’t get pregnant, then I’d be fine with just having Ruby and Jacob.” “So what are you saying? You agreed to have a baby for me so I should go against what I believe and get married just to please you?” Brax questioned. “I want to get married. It’s important to me and it’s something that I believe in.” Charlie said. “Maybe we just have to face that you’re not the one who is going to be my husband.” Charlie found herself welling up with tears as she spoke the last part.  Charlie was sitting at the bar, nursing a glass of wine. She sighed lightly as she ran her hand gently up and down the stem of the glass. She loved Brax so much, but she also wanted to be married and she didn’t know what to do. “Charlie?” The voice said. “Charlie Buckton?” Charlie looked around to see the tall dark haired man standing beside her. “R...Ryan?” Charlie questioned.  “The twins?” Ryan questioned. “Oh sorry, Paige and Riley. My girls, they are total opposites.” Charlie smiled. “Paige is very girly and laid back and Riley is a boisterous tomboy.” “Ah, so the trouble maker?” Ryan laughed. “Well that’s one word for her.” Charlie laughed before she took a drink of her wine. “So have they asked for anything crazy for their birthday?”  Oh and Riley is getting a ladybug dress up outfit. She’s obsessed with them at the moment. Or bugs in general.” Charlie screwed her face up. “Then of course there’s the bouncy castle and ball pool coming for the party so I’m sure that they’ll love that. Sorry, I’m rambling now.”  “So.” Ryan said causing Charlie to move her gaze. “We spoke about my failed love life. What about yours?” “What about mines?” Charlie questioned. “Well are you married?” “Married.” Charlie repeated before shaking her head. “No, not married.” Charlie said. Ryan smiled before they clinked their glasses together and took a drink. Well she wasn’t exactly lying, was she? He’d asked her if she was married, not if she was in a relationship, and married was something that Charlie most certainly was not.

ACE ending !!!! I’ve MUCHLY enjoyed this fic throughout !!!!!!!!! REALLY enjoyed that, especially …..  The ENTIRE 1st scene [Mink, Romeo, preggy Ruby] of Chapter 19  “Why’s Ruby drinking orange juice?”Indigo asked.  “I’m sure your time’ll come,”Ruby assured her. Indigo didn’t look so sure.“Yeah, maybe.”  It felt like a lifetime since the six of them had last sat at Angelo’s.So much had gone on in the last few months.In some ways they’d moved forward with their lives but in others things hadn’t worked out as well as they’d hoped.Indigo raised her glass.“So, here’s to the most successful babymaking machines.” Ruby flushed slightly.“Thanks, Indi.” “I don’t know how you’re going to cope,”Matilda commented,“Elizabeth’s enough of a handful, not sure I can manage another one running around.”She noticed Ric’s look.“No, really, I mean it.”  Romeo gave Ric a long-suffering look.“You should really have told me that once you get married they start nagging you.” “You think they wait until then?”Xavier asked with a grin.He noticed Indi’s indignant look.“Hey, I wasn’t implying anything.”  “How’s the new flat?”Indigo asked Ruby. Ruby raised an eyebrow.“Like you don’t know.” Indigo blushed.“Well, yes, I know we had a look around.” “It wasn’t the flat you were exploring!”Ruby grinned.“No, it’s good.” “How are the neighbours?”Xavier asked. “Actually, the flat beneath us is empty at the moment,”Romeo noted. “Someone had better snap it up soon,”Ruby observed,“Charlie’s threatening to move in to keep an eye on us.”

REALLY enjoyed that, especially …..  “Congratulations.” Charlie forced a smiled as she looked down at the ring on Bianca’s finger. The ring that she saw just the day before and mistakenly took to be for her. “Try and sound pleased for me.” Bianca sighed as she pulled her hand away. “I am. I really am it’s just...” Charlie trailed off as she sighed. “I saw the ring in Brax’s office and I thought...I thought he...”  “So maybe you could propose to Brax?” Bianca questioned. “I dunno...he’s always seemed pretty traditional when it came to things like that, like he should be the one to propose.” “Well you’ve got kids before marriage.” Bianca stated. “Not so traditional is it? Or well I guess that is more common these days.” Charlie shook her head. “Maybe you right. If I want to get married maybe I should be the one to propose. I’ve just always wanted someone to propose to me.”  “Hey Bella.” Charlie smiled as she wrapped her arms around the girl and gave her a hug. “How was your nap?” “No like em.” Bella shook her head. “Aw would you rather be playing?” Charlie questioned and Bella nodded. “I bake?” Bella asked as she looked up at Charlie then looked to her mother. “Sure.” Bianca nodded. Bella smiled before she looked back up to Charlie. “Where Paige and Wiley?” “They are with their daddy.” Charlie answered. “Why?” Bella asked. “They are having a day where it’s just daddy and them.” Charlie smiled as she stood up and carried Bella over to the kitchen where Bianca had already taken out the Dora explorer cupcake mix.  Bianca handed Bella a wooden spoon to mix the mixture with but Bella rejected the offer and threw her hands into the mixture laughing as it squelched between her hands.  “Daddy stop it.” Paige giggled as Brax tickled his daughter. “Please daddy stop.” “Never. You’re stuck with the tickle monster now.” Brax laughed. “I help you Paige.” Riley shouted as she jumped up onto Brax’s back. “Ahh got you.” Riley laughed. “No.” Brax shouted as he fell into the sand and Paige jumped up onto his back too and both girls began tickling him. “I surrender girls...I surrender.” “No.” Paige giggled as she and Riley continued to tickle him.  “The bestest.” Riley answered. “Swings, slide, tractor, monkey baa’s....the park the funest.”  “I want a Wii.” Riley said as she looked up at Charlie. “Me too mummy.”  Charlie nodded lightly before she stopped and looked up at Brax. “Brax are we ever going to -” “Mummy I need a pee-pee.” Paige said as she pulled on her hand and did a little dance on the spot. Charlie exhaled lightly as she looked down to her daughter. “We are nearly home sweetie, can you hold it in?” Charlie asked. “I try.” Paige said. “But we be quick.” Charlie and Brax picked up the pace as they walked home, remaining silent for the rest of the walk, Charlie deciding now wasn’t the best time to have this conversation with the kids being present. She only hoped that one day soon, Brax would take the hint and propose and she could finally become Mrs Braxton. Or perhaps Bianca was right, and maybe Charlie should bite the bullet and ask Brax the question herself.  “Jacob Buckton-Rosetta is that homework?” Charlie asked as she looked round at the boy. Jacob nodded shyly. “Do we do homework at 7pm on a Sunday evening?” “No.” Jacob shook his head. “Friday right after school so it out the way.”  “Maybe if it’s okay I could put my tummy daddy?” Jacob questioned. Charlie nodded lightly, slightly surprised at his choice. “If that’s what you want.” “Yeah. How you write his name.” “A...n...g...e...l...o.” Once again Charlie spelt it out as Jacob wrote it down. “And he just Rosetta not Buckton-Rosetta?”  “You alright there mate?” Brax asked as he looked down to his worksheet. “Fine.” Jacob scowled up at Brax. “Oi.” Brax said. “I was only asking.” “Well you no need too. You not my real daddy.” Jacob shouted before he picked up the worksheet and his pencil case and ran from the room. Brax sighed lightly as he watched the boy walk away. For what he feared might happen when he found out the truth, might now be happening.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY enjoyed ALL of that, especially …..  “What a nerve on that guy!” Indi was talking about Heath Braxton’s performance earlier. “He’s a Braxton!” Indi nods agreeing that all of the Braxton’s are hard work. “Still could of said thanks!”  "Whats wrong with you?"Indi turned to find Sasha stareing at her like she was some Zoo animal no one had ever seen before. "Heath Braxton!I had to serve him today!" Indi was a nice girl,why was Heath such a jerk. "Who peed in her cereal?" Indi rolled her eyes. Sometimes Dex says the most stupidest things. "Nobody!" Indi was annoyed now.Why can't people just leave her alone!"Leave me alone!" As Indi stormed out she started to cry.  "You're a jerk!"With that Indi slapped him around the face. "What was that for?" Indi smiled slightly at the fact that he was hurt. "I told you I would slap you!" Indi walked off with her head held high.  "I'm laying down!" Indi rolled her eyes. "Why are laying down next to me?" Heath made a face that made Indi giggle. "Because it's a good spot to lay!" "What do you want?" Indi waited for some smart alec reply. "Nothing!Just a pretty blond girl to stop hating me!" Indi was confused. Did he mean her? "Are you talking about me?" "Yeah!" Heath Braxton thought she was pretty! "You think I'm pretty?" "Your not ugly!" Indi was shocked. "I don't hate you!"Indi leaned over and kissed him,then walked off.  Heath hugged Indi.She felt so small in his arms.  "Why were you talking to him?" Indi looked up at Romeo in disgust.It wasn't any of his business. "Because I can!" There was a long silence.  Indi looked over at her boyfriend and pointed to the window and mouthed ‘please’ Heath put his top on and looked at her annoyed then left.  “Five seconds ago! Now whats that?” Casey rolled his eyes. Probably thinking the same thing I did when he asked me question Heath thought to himself. “Indi’s birthday present, if it’s alright with you?” Far out! Indi didn’t tell him that it was her birthday! “Ok! I’ve gotta go!” Heath walked out of the door thinking of what to get his new girlfriend.  Indi woke up to find a bunch of flowers and note sitting on her bedside table,her first thought was that Heath sent them.The note didn't say who it was from,when Indi read a text message she knew who had sent them: Do you like the flowers? Romeo Indi chucked her phone on the bed and started to get ready for when her phone stated to ring.  "Nothing...Just why do I have the most beautiful girl as my girlfriend?" Indi laughed and kiss Heath on lips.  "She was being technical,she proberley saw a secret boyfriend or something" Sid shook his head while Dex laughed. Indi would never do that!  "I thought you drank wine?" Indi shook her head. "I can't!" Indi sipped her drink hoping for no more questions. "Why?" Indi sighed did she really have to tell him. "I'm pregnant..." Heath gulped. "Really?" "Yes!"  "Indi and I have been Dating for six days now and well...She's pregnant..." Everybody's jaws dropped. "Lets get this straight first you start dating my daughter then you get her pregnant,well I can see where this is going!" Indi frowned and picked up a pillow and through it at Sid. You could tell Heath was trying not to laugh. "Dad let me ask you a question... How come Sasha's here again?" This time Heath raised his eyebrows in shock at what Indi said. "Thats different..."Sid said quietly. "No it's not! You cheated on mum that chick got pregnant and you had nothing to do with poor Sasha!" Sasha's face turned red in anger. "To start off with! My mother! Is not some chick! Second of all! Dad didn't know about me! Third of all! Here I am now!" Sasha yelled with every word she says her escalating even louder. "Sorry Sash! Didn't mean to upset you..." Sasha nodded. "It's Ok!" Sid still wasn't happy. "Indi...You can't live here! You better hope he'll let you live with him!" Sid was now pointing at Heath who grabbed Indi's hand left.  "FYI dad your never seeing this baby!" Indi walked into her old bedroom finding bags and stuffing them with clothes and things she needed right away. "Indi..." Indi stopped to see Dex standing there looking upset. "What Dex?" Dex walked in. "Can I see my niece or nephew?" Indi thought about this long and hard. "If you promise not to show dad pictures or talk about them when he's around...Tell Sash that too please?" Dex walked out with a slight smile on his face.  "Dad I overreacted yesterday...You can see the baby...Thats if you want to..." "Indi...Even though right now I think that the baby is a mistake...I will always want to see it!" Indi nods.  "Indi has been crying nonstop for two days!" Sid shrugged. "And..." Heath started seeing red. "IT'S YOUR FAULT!" Heath was pretty sure Indi could hear him at the diner. "YOU CAN'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!" Heath sighed. "Sorry..."Sid nodded. "I'm sorry too...Indi's upset because of me? Why?"Heath took a deep. "First you kicked her out,then you packed up all her things and now you wont reply to her messages!" "Righto...Can you please leave?" "Unbelievable!" Heath leaves the walker household.

REALLY enjoyed that, especially …..  “I know, but...if anything happened to me....I wouldn’t....I wouldn’t want you to lose him.” “Nothing is going to happen to you.” Brax said.  “They won’t take him away, Charlie.” Brax shook his head. “And Ruby is his sister and will be old enough to apply for guardianship if anything like that came up.”  Brax smiled as he reached into his pocket, but to Charlie surprise he didn’t pull out an engagement ring box, but instead a crumpled up piece of paper. He opened it up and handed it to Charlie.  “I eh....that’s why you wanted to come here?” Charlie questioned. “To talk about a holiday?” “Yeah.” Brax smiled. “What do you think?” “I eh...” Charlie shook her head as she stood up. “I’m getting cold sitting here, can we go home?”  “Brax, I’m tired okay. I just want to go to bed to sleep.” Charlie said as she once again shrugged him from her and unhooked her bra and lay it down on the chair with her dress before reaching for her pyjamas and putting them on before walking towards the bathroom to clean her teeth, returning to find Brax still standing in the room, his hands on his hips and he followed Charlie with his eyes as she walked over to the bed and got into it. “What you looking at me like that for?” Charlie asked as she applied her hands with some hand cream. “No reason.” Brax shook his head. “I’m just going to go clean my teeth.” Brax sighed lightly before leaving the room.  “Yeah.” Liam grinned. “I’m so glad Ruby ran into me in that little café in the LA side street.” “Mmm I’m glad you’re music career flopped.” Bianca grinned before placing a soft kiss on his lips. “What career?” Liam questioned. “Exactly.” Bianca laughed. “If you went out there and got big then we wouldn’t be together now, would we?” “No, I had a sucky job in some café.” Liam sighed. “Running into Ruby made me see what I’ve been missing back home....I don’t think I ever stopped loving you Bianca.” Bianca smiled lightly. “And meeting little Bella, she’s great Bianca. You’ve got one amazing kid there and I’m honoured that she calls me daddy.” “So you don’t think I’m a skanky slut because I don’t know who her biological dad is?” “Well that’s a different topic.” Liam laughed lightly as Bianca hit his chest. “Go back to saying nice things.” Bianca said as Liam laughed lightly as he sat up in the bed and reached into the drawer thinking now was as good a time as ever. “Bianca...I love you so much. I love the family we have with Bella, and now Ash is going to be a part of that. I want to spend the rest of my life you.” Liam smiled. “Bianca Scott, will you do me he honour of becoming my wife?” Bianca gasped as she looked down at the ring that Liam was displaying to her. “Yes...yes....a thousand times yes.” Bianca squealed as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek over and over. Liam smiled as he pulled back and placed the ring on her finger. “I love you Bianca Scott soon to be Murphy.” Liam grinned. “I love you Liam Murphy soon to be Scott.” Bianca joked as she once again kissed him. The kiss became more passionate before Liam pushed Bianca down onto the bed. “Ahh mamma mostri mostri.” Bella shouted as she ran into the room. Liam and Bianca both sighed as they sat up in the bed. “Mostri?” Liam questioned. “Monsters.” Bianca sighed as Bella climbed up on the bed. “There’s no monsters.” Bianca shook her head as Bella settled herself in bewteen the couple in the bed. “Si, si.” Bella nodded. “No.” Bianca shook her head. “Not yes.” Bianca said. “There’s not monsters in this house. The sight of daddy has already scared them away.” Bianca laughed.

LOOOOOOOOOVED that, especially …..  Summary: Xavier and Indigo spend the first third rescuing Romeo from Harvey the Hutt before remembering there's an evil empire to overthrow.  Darth Palmer descended the steps of his personal shuttle into the hangar bay of the new Death Star. He stood there, breathing heavily inside his black armour, for several seconds. Then he turned to the station commander, Moff Stu Henderson. “Work on this station is behind schedule.” Moff Stu stared at him in confusion. “It took you twenty years to build the first Death Star. This one’s nearly finished. Doesn’t that mean we’re ahead of schedule?” “No. You are still behind schedule. Because I say so.” Stu shook his head. “I think if you look at the contract…” “Perhaps you should explain that to Emperor Alfatine when he arrives?” Stu looked around in the vain hope that a hidden camera crew was filming him. “Emperor Alfatine is coming here?” “Yes. And he is far less generous about failure than I am.” “Don’t you deal with people who fail you by chopping them up into little bits?” Darth Palmer nodded. Moff Stu considered jumping out of the nearest airlock.  That sexgod musician Liambacca would be far more capable of handling himself than us.” AprilD2 gave a derisitory snort. “Well, I’m sorry that we’re not hanging out as much as we used to. Perhaps you could find a nice Rivertrooper to keep you company?” AprilD2 made an exasperated noise.  “You have got the right place. I am Dennis Fortuna, Harvey the Hutt’s assistant  “You remind me a lot of Master Xavier, you know? Are you sure you’re not his father?” AprilD2 made some irritated bleeping noises. “Well, yes, I know about Darth Palmer being his father but does this make any less sense?”  Apart from one guard, who kept trying to attract his attention. She looked oddly like Sasha Calrissian but Dex3PO was sure that was just a trick of the light.  “I bring you Captain Romeo’s co-pilot, your voluminousness,”she announced. “I claim the bounty for his capture.” “Oh no!”Dex3PO exclaimed helplessly. “Oh, my handsome musician friend, whatever will become of you?” Liambacca looked even less happy to be there than he had before. “This isn’t fair,”Minka Fett, the bounty hunter who had captured Romeo Solo, protested. “There’s only room for one awesome armoured girl bounty hunter in this palace!” “Don’t fight over me, girls,”Harvey replied. “Unless you really want to. You may both stay and eat fish. And someone take the musician to the dungeons.”  Boushh removed her helmet to reveal Princess Indigo. She kissed Romeo softly on the lips. Romeo stared at her, unseeing. “Xavier?” “We need to get out of here so I’ll let that pass.” Indigo helped him to his feet. “Oh no. You are so lucky you’re blind.”  Sasha took hold of Indigo roughly enough to look convincing. “Now I’ll make you wish you’d let me borrow your clothes,”she said quietly. “Don’t lose yourself in the part.”
