Hey guys thanks for the reviews it means a lot and thank you for bearing with me. The next chapter is almost done so I’ll post it soon to make up for the short chapter.

Chapter 20

It had been two days since Charlie’s request to have no visitors much to Sid’s words to try and convince her otherwise. Charlie’s reluctance was having a bad effect on Ruby and Brax, all they wanted to do was see Charlie and be there for her. Brax and Ruby had come back again to try seeing Charlie and get an update on her progress.

“Hey Sid, how is she today?” Brax asked

“Still the same, she’s slowly on the mend but it’s her mental state I’m worried about. It’s like she just shut down, I’ve tried to get her to change her mind about visitors but she’s not budging”

“this is….. look Sid she needs us. Shutting us out isn’t what she needs to be doing right now” Brax said frustrated at the situation

“Brax I have to listen to her wishes”

“Well she’s not thinking straight”

Just then Sid’s beeper went off, looking down to it he excused himself and said he had to go deal with an emergency leaving Brax and Ruby in the waiting area.

“What do you want to do?” Brax asked Ruby

“I don’t know, I was really hoping to see mum today. She’s got to let us see her eventually right”

“Yeah”

“I was thinking to pop in and see Irene for a bit while we’re here”

“Okay, I’m going to wait here and maybe catch Sid again if he comes by”

“Brax go easy on him, he is trying”

“Yeah I know, when your done meet me back her okay”

“Kay” With tha said Ruby walked of in the direction of Irene’s hospital room.

Getting to Irene’s room Ruby saw Bianca and April chatting to Irene.

“Hi guys, just here to see the patient” Ruby said entering the room

“Hey Darl” Irene said visibly weak “How you holding up?”

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that, how you doing you gave us all quite a scare” Ruby said walking to Irene bedside and taking her hand.

“Just keeping you lot on your toes. How’s Charlie?”

“I don’t know she still refusing to see anyone. Sid said she’s healing slowly but he’s more worried about her mental state”

“She tough as old boots she’s going to get through this just got to give her some time”

“Yeah! So did I hear you guys talking about wedding stuff before I came in?” Ruby asked

“Yep, Irene is taking firm hand in helping plan Liam and Bianca’s wedding” April said with a laugh

“And I keep telling her to take things easy” Bianca said with a sigh

“I need some happiness to keep me going, I’m fine Bianca helping you plan your wedding is just what I need right now.”

“Okay but don’t be pushing yourself, you need to take things easy”

“Yes sir” Irene said laughing at Bianca

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting in her hospital bed Charlie’s mind drifted back to the warm sandy beach with her beautiful baby boy. When her mind was there she didn’t feel the ache in her heart that was causing her so much pain. Here she felt happy, as she could replay holding him in her arms and smelling his unique baby smell as he gripped onto her with his little hands.

As a nurse came into change her drip Charlie was taken from her happy place and the ache was back. As a tear slid from her eye Charlie waited for the nurse to be done so she could be alone and back with her baby boy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brax was waiting for Ruby to come back so he could drive her back to the bay. As he waited to see if Sid would come by again he looked to Charlie’s room. With no one around to stop him from going into her room he wondered whether or not he should go in and try to get through the beautiful stubborn women who had his heart. After a few minutes of thinking Brax decided to go in, who knew whether he would get the opportunity again?

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY enjoyed that, especially …..

 Brax and Ruby spent the night sitting in Charlie’s hospital room thinking over what Sid had said about Charlie’s emotional state.

It wasn’t until mid-afternoon that Charlie started to stir awake. Has her eyes slowly opened she took in her surroundings and then laid her eyes on Brax and Ruby who were sitting in a chair each on either side of her bed. They both looked up with big smiles on their faces, both glad to see her wake. The road ahead would be hard but they were both just happy that Charlie was still with them.

 “No, as I was about to Sid came in and asked me to leave. When he’s done I’ll go back in and try again. Rubes to be honest I don’t really know what to say.”

“I’m sure you’ll think of something, just say how you feel. You both lost this baby even though you only found out recently you both are in pain about it. We’re all here for mum but you were both this babies parents, maybe both of you dealing with the loss together will help her.” Ruby tried to explain the rambling thoughts in her head to Brax

“You’re a smart girl Rubes” Brax said kissing the top of her head

 “I’d like to help as well” Bianca said. She so desperately wanted to be there for her best friend but due to the icy nature of their friendship she wasn’t sure Brax would let her.

 “I’ll try but what I went through and what Charlie’s going through is different. Our pain may be coming from the loss of a baby but I had a miscarriage, someone killed her baby. The thoughts going through her head are going to be completely different from what I had going on in mine. She may not even feel that she can relate to my situation.”

“She just looked so lost, her eyes they were so sad and lost” Ruby said trying to explain

 “Ok, all done I’ll just go get Ruby and Brax” Sid said as he went to leave the room. He was stopped in his tracks by Charlie’s voice.

“No!” was all she said looking ahead at nothing in particular.

Pardon?” Sid asked

“I don’t want to see them. I don’t want any visitors, can I just be left alone please” Charlie requested trying to hold onto her emotions as her voice started to crack.

“Ok, shall I tell them to come back in a couple of hours?”

“No! I don’t want to see them at all.”

“Charlie, I think it would do you good to have your friends and family around you right now” Sid said trying to make her see sense.

As a few tears managed to escape Charlie angrily wiped them away.

“Sid please, no one. I don’t want to have any visitors, it’s my choice and it’s what I want.”

 “Well it’s stupid, nah no I’m not letting her go through this on her own.” Brax said moving towards her room.

Moving in front of Brax, Sid tried his best to stop Brax from advancing into her room.

“Brax listen to me, you don’t want to go in there. Just let her have tonight, don’t push her. I will try to speak to her tomorrow and get her to at least have you and Ruby to visit.”

“I don’t like the thought of her being all alone. Sid will someone check on her to make sure she’s alright through the night” Ruby asked very reluctant to leave Charlie all alone but not wanting to make her emotional state any worse than it already was.

 Both Brax and Ruby had a restless sleep tossing and turning as their minds couldn’t switch of from thinking about Charlie, the shooting and the baby she had lost.

 “I asked first Brax”

“Yeah but I’m still trying to figure out an answer”

“Umm, okay. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy that Charlie’s woken up….. I’m just really sad as well. It’s not been the joyous occasion I expected it to be. Jake’s really messed things up and I’m scared things will never be the same again. She looked so lost and sad and now she doesn’t want to see me. Why doesn’t she want to see me Brax, I can’t be there for her if she won’t let me see her.” Tears started to form in Ruby’s eyes as she became upset by the fact Charlie wouldn’t let them be there for her or comfort her.

 “Hey Darl” Irene said visibly weak “How you holding up?”

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that, how you doing you gave us all quite a scare” Ruby said walking to Irene bedside and taking her hand.

“Just keeping you lot on your toes. How’s Charlie?”

 Sitting in her hospital bed Charlie’s mind drifted back to the warm sandy beach with her beautiful baby boy. When her mind was there she didn’t feel the ache in her heart that was causing her so much pain. Here she felt happy, as she could replay holding him in her arms and smelling his unique baby smell as he gripped onto her with his little hands.
