So, I know it's been a while, but I really wanted to do like a sequel to 'The New Kid.' If you haven't read 'The New Kid' Fic then this Fic will probably make sense on its own so don't worry too much! The end of 'The New Kid' saw a 17 & 18 Year Old Carla and Peter move into their own place together.
2 Years later and Carla and Peter have both finished College, and Carla is pregnant. This story starts from just after Carla has found-out, but Peter does not know yet…..
Carla sat on the sofa having just got the results from the pregnancy test. "He's gonna kick off he's gonna kick off he's gonna kick off." Carla kept repeating to herself, she was in true panic mode now…..Peter had managed to get himself a job at the local builders, he didn't particularly enjoy it, but it payed the bills each month for the very young and very self-sufficient couple. Carla was inbetween jobs, she had been all over the place, restaurants, local shops…..Supermarkets, even the Rovers Return, but she just couldn't seem to settle-anywhere as yet…..But Carla was dreading Peter getting home in half an hour. She was a rubbish liar at the best of times, let alone with something as serious this.
Carla decided to text Michelle…..
Carla: 'Chelle I need yer 'elp like now! XxX
Michelle: Y? What's up Car? xxxxx
Carla: I'm Pregnant! XxX
Michelle: OMGOSH Carla! Does Peter no? xxxxx
Carla: I have only just found-out. I need u 2 go over to the builders yard on Corrie St and distract him 4 a bit so I can prepare myself 2 tell him the news. XxX
Michelle: I can do that 4 u Car. Good Luck. Luv U Bab. xxxxx
Michelle headed over to the builders yard straight away. "Oh Hiya Peter….." She said, trying to pretend like she was just passing-by. "Oh Heya Michelle. Long-time no see. How are you?!" Peter greeted her along with a sweet smile, a kiss on the cheeks, and a warming hug. "I'm good thank you. Tell Carla she's become like a stranger to me lately! How are you?" Michelle asked Peter.
"I'm alright…..I'm bored of this job but I need the money so I've just gotta get on with it….." Peter trailed-off. "Yeah I bet you do what with the uh….." Michelle stopped herself from going any further. "What with the what?!" Peter asked, slightly confused by what Michelle was trying to say. "Oh Nothing….." She excused herself from ever answering the question, and luckily, Peter dropped the subject of conversation quickly enough, but he was still awfully confused as to what Michelle was on about.
"Anyway, luckily for me. My shift has finished and it is home time for me!" Peter said happily as he began to walk-off.
"Peter wait!" Michelle called, desperate to distract Peter for just a little longer, for Carla's sake if not Peter's.
"What do you want from me 'Chelle? You're acting all weird today?!" Peter suddenly came-out with, meaning that a young Michelle had to think on the spot, something that she wasn't very good at. Stupidly, Michelle somehow figured that the only way to stop Peter from going anywhere was to kiss him…..Fully…..On the lips…..In broad daylight…..Outside the builders yard where he worked, and where everyone knew his Father, aswell as Carla…..
"What the HELL was that about?! You're supposed to be Carla's best mate! So what are you going around kissing ME for?!" Peter asked Michelle, even-more confused than he already was now.
"Because Urm….."
"And anyway, don't you have Dean?!" Peter questioned Michelle, at-least her distraction techniques were working, as strange as they were…..
"I do yeah…..Look I'm sorry Peter, I just uh…..Well Nothing Really?!" Michelle replied to Peter hopelessly.
"Right…..Well I'm gonna go home now…..Back to my GIRLFRIEND!" Peter said frustratedley before he then walked-off back home.
Michelle: May have just kissed yer boyfriend by accident…..Soz Babs…..He was about 2 walk-off…..I had 2 do something 2 stop him from going anywhere…..Awkward…..xxxxx
Carla: Ha. Ha. Ha. Oh 'Chell special one aren't u?! Don't worry luv u r forgiven. Besides he is gorgeous! Is he on his way home now? XxX
Michelle: Yh he's just left. Good Luck! Xxxxx
Carla: Thanks 'Chelle. XxX
Before Carla knew-it, Peter was coming through the front-door and she was bracing herself to break the possibly good, yet possibly bad-news to her beloved-boyfriend. "Hellooo I'm Home!" Peter called as he walked-through the house and into the living-room. "Hiya Sweetheart." Carla said quietly, curled-up on the sofa with a cushion over her belly-now. "How was work then?" Carla asked Peter, allowing him to settle-down before she broke the news to him. "Work was fine…..But boring as usual…..But coming home was strange…..I bumped into Michelle, and she didn't half act weirdly….." Peter trailed-off, scratching his head in total and utter confusion as she sat himself-down next to Carla on the sofa. This meant that Carla had to hold back the laughter as much as she possibly could. "Oh Really….." Carla replied very quietly, acting like she didn't know a thing about what had just happened to her boyfriend. "Are you okay baby, you look a bit pale?" A very-concerned Peter asked Carla. "Yeah I've been feeling a bit off all day…..But there's a reason for that, Peter baby, I've got something to tell ya, and I don't think you're gonna like it….." Carla trailed-off. "Go On….." Peter encouraged-Carla as she took Peter's chin into her hands. "Peter I'm pregnant….." Carla revealed to her gorgeous boyfriend.
"What?" Peter asked fairly-calmly, he was more in shock more than anything else. "But How?" He asked completely innocently. "Well ya know how it works darlin'…..Boy meets Girl and all that….." Carla trailed-off nervously. "Yeah I know that Car, but I just don't understand, I mean…..We used protection and everything….." Peter said, still in total shock and confusion. "Well we didn't last-night…..Or the night before for that matter…..Look if ya don't believe-me there's a stick in the bin in the kitchen that will prove-it for ya….." Carla told-him fairly straightly. "Are you okay Peter? She then asked-him, realising that this wasn't the reaction that she would have expected from Peter. "Yeah…..I just feel a bit…..Well a bit numb I think?" Peter revealed to her truthfully. "Hey so do I sweetheart don't you worry…..But you're not angry that I'm pregnant though right?" Carla asked-him timidly. "Oh Carla Baby, no off-course I'm not….." Peter re-assured Carla, leaning-in and gently kissing her on the lips, before going-outside for a second to get some fresh-air before he then pulled-out a cigarette.
10 Minutes Later, Carla decided to join Peter outside. "Hey….." She said, gently touching Peter's shoulder as she did so. "You're not mad at me are you Baby?!" Carla asked-him nervously. Peter slowly turned-to-face Carla properly. "No…..I'm just a bit…..Well kind-of a little scared I guess? I mean…..You're barely 19 Carla, and I've only just turned 20…..Do you think we can manage to have and to look-after a baby of our own?!" Peter asked-her, voicing his concerns to her truthfully. Carla placed both of her cold-hands onto either side of each of Peter's warm-cheeks. "Only if you are okay with it sweetheart?" Carla revealed to Peter. "Of-Course I am Baby….." Peter trailed-off nervously before the young-couple then kissed each-other passionately on the lips, before they then embraced each-other with a long and comforting hug. "So does Michelle know then?!" Peter asked Carla. "Mmmhmmm….." Carla nodded. "Ah now all of that funny business makes-sense….." Peter trailed-off and Carla giggled into his chest.
