3 months later

Charlie walked out of the bathroom and towards the kitchen, stopping she leaned against the doorframe and sighed. Looking down at what she had in her hand she groaned and closed her eyes it would have to be now.

"Morning babe," Brax said and dropped a kiss on her forehead as he walked by.

Charlie opened her eyes and watched him sit down at the table with not a care in the world...she could change that, lifting her hand she flung the object at him smacking him in the back of the head and stomped to the other side of the kitchen "morning my ass," she hissed.

Brax rubbed the back of his head "what the hell did you throw at me?" he asked "and what's wrong with you?" he asked looking around on the floor to see what she'd thrown.

Charlie sighed and leaned against the counter "our first time to have sex," she said glaring at him.

Brax frowned and stood up "it was pretty awesome...what about it?" he asked leaning on the counter beside her.

"Remember it split?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah but tha…oh," he said and looked over at her "you're pregnant?"

"Yes darling I am," she said and kissed him on the cheek "congratulations daddy…I gotta get to work," she said and grabbed her car keys.

Brax stared after her in shock he couldn't believe what she'd just told him, copping she was gone he ran after her "Charlie!" he yelled "babe wait up!"

Charlie turned to face him "I have so much to do today Brax I have to get to work."

"I don't care," he said tugging her back to the house "you can't just drop something like that on me and go to work-sit," he ordered and pushed her into a chair.

"What's there to talk about?" she asked "I'm pregnant we're having a baby I'm keeping it end of discussion."

"Be serious here Charlie," Brax said and sat beside her "I know it's a bit early and you probably didn't want this."

"Well it's happening we can't change that," she said and stood up "I really have to get to work."

"Charlie we need to talk about this," Brax sighed "can you not call in?" he asked.

"I can't take time off work just because I'm pregnant," she replied "the world still moves on."

Brax shook his head "we need to talk about what we're gonna do."

Charlie walked to him and wrapped her arms around him "we're gonna keep this to ourselves, I'm gonna call the hospital and sort out an appointment. Everything is gonna be okay Brax we have a house we both have money, we'll be fine."

"So you want this baby?" Brax asked.

Charlie nodded "I do," she smiled " do you?" she asked.

"We're gonna have a baby,"Brax leaned in and kissed her, as the kiss heated up he turned her and lifted her up onto the counter.

As he started to undo her shirt Charlie giggled and pulled his hands away "I think this kinda stuff is to blame babe," she said and jumped down "I have to go, I love ya," she said and kissed him quickly "Jo has to be soon Jack will be here at eight thirty!"

Brax chuckled and kissed her quickly "love ya too…be careful out there!" he called after her.

…..

Later that day Charlie sat behind her desk rubbing her temples, she'd spent the last three hours trying to work out why some nut broke into his neighbours house hid there all day then killed the owner when he returned home from work. The guy had mental problems she could see that, he kept telling her and Watson he was possessed by the devil and god had asked him to save his soul…and his constant babbling made her head thump.

Brax stuck his head in the door and chuckled Watson sat at the front desk doing the same thing "has my baby a headache?" he asked walking to her desk.

Charlie looked up "hey babe," she sighed "am I late?" she asked looking for her phone.

"No I'm early," he said and sat down "but judging by your face I'm guessing you don't wanna go for dinner."

"Sorry," Charlie groaned "do you mind?" she asked looking at him "I just spent three hours with some nutball who babbled no stop about nothing, my head is banging and I can't even take anything," she whined nodding to the two painkillers Watson had brought her.

Brax stood up "no I don't mind," he said and held out his hand "let's just get you home a sleep will do you good."

"That sounds great," Charlie said and stood up closing her file she dumped it on her to do pile and grabbed her phone. Walking around the desk she slid her hand into his "Georgie I'm off…you can go as soon as someone comes back to cover you, we both deserve a break after that."

"Thanks Charlie," Watson said and stood up as Jack walked in " I guess i'll be off now...later!" she called as she hurried out the door.

"Where is she going?" Jack asked "she still has three hours left…where are you going?" he asked looking at her.

"Home," Charlie replied "if you had to sit through what we did you'd understand…you're in charge!" she called " don't give the guy in cell one another drink he's already peed on the floor twice, don't touch anything in my office, don't wreck the place and don't hurt yourself!" she giggled as Brax led her out to his car.

When they arrived home Charlie dropped onto the sofa and groaned "damn it, I have to go get Jo from Nat's," she said and went to stand up.

"I'll get her you go to bed," Brax replied handing her a glass of water.

Charlie smiled up at him and took the glass "I knew I loved you for a reason."

Brax chuckled and kissed her quickly "enjoy the peace while you can," he said and walked out the door "call me if you need anything!" he called back before shutting the door behind him.

A few minutes later Charlie stood up and walked to the stairs, she stopped and turned back as she heard the back door open and close "what did you forget?" she chuckled.

When no one replied she stopped laughing "Brax?" she said and took a step closer "Ruby?" she called knowing it wasn't her "hello?" she said and stopped by the sofa she was well and truly freaked now.

She screamed and jumped back when Thomas stepped out in front of her "hello princess," he smirked and pulled a gun up " you should have known not even prison could hold me…told ya I'd be back!" he yelled and pulled the trigger.

Charlie was faster this time, before he'd even had his gun up she'd dropped her glass and pulled her own from her waist, her shot went off before his. She watched as he stared back at her before dropping to his knees "not this time dad!" she hissed...it felt so weird calling him dad-or that she was even in this situation with her dad.

She jumped and swung around as her front door burst open, aiming her gun she moved her finger for the trigger.

"Charlie It's me! It's me!" Peter yelled ducking out of the way.

Charlie lowered her gun "what the hell are you doing bursting into my house like that!" she yelled "I could have shot you-I was about to shoot you!"

"The prison called me," he panted and hurried by her "to say he'd escaped, I knew he'd come here first" he said and bent down to him. "Not a smart move this time eh dad? Charlie was on her game," he chuckled "nice shot Charlz," he added.

"Is he dead?" she asked taking a step closer.

Peter felt his pulse "yeah," he said and stood up "I better call a bus anyway," he said and pulled out his phone.

Charlie walked over and stood over him, his eyes were still open he looked like he was staring at her. She got down beside him and continued to look at him, she looked behind her as Peter started yelling in to her.

"Come on Charlie you know you can't be in there it's a crime scene! You're going to Jack's"

Charlie stood up and looked down at him again a sense of relief washing over her "I hope you rot in hell," she said and stepped over him.

"You okay?" Peter asked as she rubbed her stomach.

"Yeah," she replied "just got a fright, I thought it was Brax I wasn't expecting it…now I've upset this little guy," she said before she realised.

Peter looked at her stomach then back up to her "are you pregnant?" he asked.

Charlie cursed herself "uh yeah just found out this morning…don't tell anyone," she added.

Peter chuckled and pulled her into a hug "I won't, congrats lil sis," he said.

"Thanks Pete," Charlie replied and leaned into him "it's a fresh start for us all," she said looking back in at her dad.

"Where is everyone?" Peter asked after a few minutes.

"Brax went to pick up Jo from Nat's and Ruby is studying with April she's staying over…I better tell Brax not to bring Jo back here," she said and pulled her phone from her pocket.

…..

A while later Charlie arrived at Jack's who met her at the door "hey," she said and hugged him "I bet you're sick of seeing me," she giggled.

"You may as well move in," Jack teased "Brax is already here with Jo, movie on as usual," he said and walked into the house.

Charlie walked into the kitchen to see Brax leaning against the counter lost in thought "hey," she said pulling him from his daze.

Brax walked to her and looked her over, sighing he pulled her into a hug "if I had waited another few minutes I'd have seen him."

Charlie leaned into him "it wouldn't have made a difference," she said truthfully "it was all over before it had even begun."

Brax pulled back and looked down on her "you're okay?" he asked and looked around to see where Jack was "baby's okay?"

Charlie nodded "we're both fine-Pete called an ambulance just to be sure."

"So he knows?" Brax asked.

"Yeah sorry, my stomach was all bubbly and jumpy he asked me was I okay and I said it before I realised what was coming out of my mouth," she replied.

"It's okay I'm glad he knew otherwise you wouldn't have got checked out…what did they say?" he asked leading her to the table.

"My blood pressure was a little high so I had to sit there and wait a while before they checked it again…I'm eight weeks along."

"So it wasn't the first time?" he chuckled.

Charlie giggled and blushed "no," she drawled "it was on that stupid bar the night of your birthday."

"Best present ever," he chuckled and kissed her quickly "it was your own fault for tuning up in nothing but a coat and heels."

"Who works till close on a Saturday night on their birthday?" Charlie scoffed.

"I had no cover," Brax chuckled.

"You better not be working for my birthday next week," she said narrowing her eyes.

"Nope," he replied "I'm all yours for the whole weekend…we're going away," he added.

"Really?" she smiled "where?"

"Surprise," he said and kissed her again "Jo and Ruby are gonna be staying here with Jack and Martha."

"Do they know that?" Charlie giggled.

"Yes, I asked him last week and I got him to change your hours in work-you finish at one on Friday we leave at three."

"How am I supposed to last a week without knowing where we're going?" she asked.

"You'll just have to wait and see," Brax said and stood up "Jo wants to watch a movie with us," he added and walked into the living room.

Charlie got up and followed him "what are we watching sweetie?" she asked as she sat beside her.

Jo climbed into her lap "Jake and the neverland pirates-Peter Pan is in it like my brother Pete," she giggled.

Charlie chuckled "that's right sweetie the boy who never grew up," she laughed.

"I heard that," Peter said dropping down into the armchair.

"Or goes home," Jack said raising an eyebrow.

"What?" Peter asked "…Georgie's at work," he said and looked to the tv.

Charlie giggled it was nights like these she loved the most, no matter what happened they always ended up together watching some cartoon.

A while later Charlie looked down to see Jo had fallen asleep "Jack, is her bed made up?" she asked.

"Yeah I did it earlier," he replied "she was supposed to be staying with me this weekend."

"Alright," Charlie said and went to stand up "she's still staying," she added.

"Charlie?" she mumbled sleepily "when the baby comes will I still get to have my own room?"

Charlie snapped her head to Brax wide eyed "uh, yes sweetie," she answered and looked back at Brax again.

Jack burst out laughing at the look on both their faces "that kid is a legend," he laughed.

"You knew?" Brax asked.

"Uh duh," he chuckled "she told me when I picked her up for school this morning."

Charlie looked back at Brax "I thought she was still asleep when I left."

"So did I," he replied "she was in her bed when I went to call her."

Charlie stood up and walked along the hall, placing her in her bed she pulled back the covers and kissed her on the head "love ya sweetie," she said and walked out of the room again.

Walking back to the living room she sat beside Brax "is everything sorted for her party tomorrow?"

"Yep," Jack replied "bouncy castle will be on the beach for one food will be there at three, kids home by six, adults out by six fifteen," he chuckled.

Peter chuckled "what about her cake? What one did you ask Leah to make?" he asked looking at Charlie.

"Well she insisted on a pink one direction one but I told Leah not to worry if she couldn't, so we'll see what she turns up with I guess," Charlie replied

"Table is booked for all of us at seven for this family dinner," Brax said

"If she hasn't exploded from crap by then," Jack said and stood up as the buzzer went.

"Hello everyone," Uncle Jack said walking into the living room.

"Hey Jack," Charlie smiled.

"Alright mate," Peter said "what brings you here?"

"I wanted to leave this for Jo since I won't be here tomorrow," he said handing over a wrapped present. "I called to your house and it was closed off as a crime scene?" he frowned "the girl there said you were all here…anyone care to tell me what happened?"

"Dad jumped out of nowhere with a gun so I shot him," Charlie blurted out.

Jack stared at her in shock "he just jumped out?" he finally asked.

"He took out a guard on his way from the hospital," Peter answered "he got an inmate to stab him so they'd take him. When the other guard stopped to hep he'd already taken his cuffs off and knocked him out the second the door opened."

Jack nodded "and he came straight to your place…was anyone hurt?"

"No one but him it happened so fast," Charlie explained "he pulled a gun I pulled my gun."

"So he's back in prison?" Jack asked.

"Uh no," Peter said slowly "she had no choice," he added.

Jack nodded "he's dead?"

"Yeah…sorry," Charlie replied…the room fell into silence after that.

….

Another while later Brax went looking for Charlie and found her out the back looking up at the sky "what are you doing out here babe?" he asked closing the door over.

Charlie had been looking at the stars "I killed my own dad but yet I don't feel the slightest bit of guilt…is that normal?"

"Well he put you through hell Charlie he almost killed you, it's normal for you to feel this way," he replied wrapping his arm around her "don't think about it, you had to do it or you'd be hurt instead."

"I wonder what my mum is thinking," she said a few minutes later.

"I'd say she's proud of ya," Brax replied "from what Pete told me you handled yourself well in there."

Charlie scoffed "I nearly shot him too, the moron just burst through the door two seconds after I shot my dad."

Brax chuckled "he was panicking he told me when he heard the shots he went back to the night he turned up here when you had been shot."

Charlie turned and wrapped her arms around him "I thought about that too, then I remembered what happened with us-how I almost lost you and I wasn't letting him ruin it again….the gun came out before I even knew what I was doing."

Brax slid his hands onto her hips "you are the bravest and strongest person I have ever met Charlie, everything that's happened you never give up I admire you so much. You're a great mum a great sister an awesome cop and the best girlfriend in the world, I love ya so much."

Charlie smiled and moved closer to him "you're such a softie," she said and kissed him deeply "but I love ya too," she added when she pulled back.

"It's late now how about we head to bed?" he asked pulling her closer.

"If you think we're having sex while my little sister sleeps next door and my brother on the other side you may think again…you'll be lucky to have sex again," she said nodding to her stomach.

Brax chuckled "I meant to watch a movie," he said leading her back inside "is sex all that is on your mind when I'm around?" he asked "you always bring it up," he chuckled.

"Are you complaining dummy?" she asked bumping him with her hip.

"No," he scoffed.

"Good because it'll get a lot worse once the hormones set in," she giggled and walked up the stairs.

"Can't wait," he chuckled and followed her.

Getting to the bedroom Charlie spun around and kissed him hard "I thought we weren't doing this," he mumbled against her.

"Jack is gone to see Martha before she flies out to England with Bianca," Charlie replied.

"And Jo?" he asked

Charlie chuckled "she won't wake up, how many times have we had sex at home with her and Ruby there?"

"Yeah but at home Ruby is down the hall and I'm pretty sure she's heard us more than once."

"Well she's not here now," Charlie said pulling off her top.

Brax chuckled and climbed on top of her "better be quiet just in case," he said before claiming her lips.

Charlie giggled as he pulled off his clothes oh how her life had changed, and she couldn't be happier.
