Sarah's baby boy wasn't five weeks early in this. It's set around about the middle of April.


'Mothercare, Mrs Connor? Have you got something to tell us?' Sean asks as Carla makes her way into the factory carrying a couple of bags from the baby store.

'These are for Sarah...' She replies smiling as she glances down at the bags.

'Have you been to see her? How is she doing?' Sean asks and Carla nods her head.

'Nick and I went to the hospital last night. She's doing really well and the baby is absolutely gorgeous... I have some pictures if you'd like to see them.' She replies and her workforce all nod.

'I'll just pop the bags in the office.' She says smiling. Yawning she makes her way into the office and drops the bags by her desk.

'What did you buy? A whole wardrobe for the baby?' Johnny asks.

'I got a bit carried away... I never got to do this for my baby girl.' She admits glancing down at the bags.

'How are you?' He asks and she shrugs her shoulders.

'It's weird. I never thought I wanted children, never thought I'd have children until my baby girl came along. Don't get me wrong I considered abortion but I did love her and since I lost her I feel like a part of my heart went with her, like part of me is missing. Is that strange considering I never even met her?' She asks and Johnny shakes his head.

'I think that's perfectly normal for someone who's lost a child.' He replies causing her to sigh.

'I thought I'd feel better by now. That my heart wouldn't break everytime I see someone with a new baby or a little girl who would be around her age... But I don't. It still hurts as much and I still think about her everyday.' She admits biting her bottom lip as she glances at Kate and Aiden who are just sitting watching.

'You'll never stop missing your daughter, you'll never stop loving and thinking about her but I think it will get easier.' Johnny says and she sighs.

'I promised that lot I'd show them pictures of the baby.' She mumbles grabbing her phone and slowly leaving the office.

'She seems really down.' Kate says and Johnny nods his head.

'I think seeing Sarah's baby has maybe stirred up some feelings from when she had the miscarriage.' He replies glancing out at where the staff are all surrounding Carla.


'He's so little!' Sinead says smiling as Carla shows them a picture of herself cradling baby boy Platt with Nick standing behind her.

'Suits you Mrs Connor... Any babies on the horizon for you and Nick?' Sean asks.

'Oh I don't know. Maybe once we're settled in Devon.' Carla replies smiling. She locks her phone and turns to face the workforce.

'Right back to work, guys. This order won't make itself.' She adds. She turns and makes her way back into the office. Closing the door she leans back against it as Aiden smiles at her sympathetically.

'Why don't you go home?' He suggests.

'Why would I want to do that?' She asks running her hand along her lower back.

'I don't know. You just seem a little bit down and maybe being at work isn't what you need?' He replies.

'I'm fine.' She snaps.

'Sorry.' He says holding his hands up.

'No, I'm sorry. That's a really nice offer but I am okay. I'm just tired and I've got this backache that won't go away.' She replies sitting down at her desk.

'Do you want some painkillers?' Kate asks reaching into her bag.

'I've already took a couple just before I came in.' Carla replies placing her phone on the desk.

'Are you sure you're okay? You look a bit pale, love.' Johnny says leaning on the edge of the desk.

'I'm okay. I just feel a bit off.' She admits.

'Well you can go home whenever you want to.' He says smiling.


'Are you okay?' Johnny asks as Carla paces back and forth in the office.

'Yes... No... I don't know.' She replies.

'What's up?' He asks.

'I don't know. This backache just seems to be getting worse.' She admits leaning against the eall.

'You should get yourself checked out. Make sure it is only backache.' He says.

'I'll be fine. I'm just going to go home and lie down I think.' She replies.

'Okay... Do you want me to walk you over?' He asks.

'No, you can't leave the factory and Aiden and Kate aren't back. I'm just going to leave these here though.' She replies gesturing to the Mothercare bags.

'That's fine. Just let me know you're okay, yeah?' He asks.

'Yeah.' She replies. She grabs her phone and slowly leaves the factory.


Groaning Carla leans against the garage wall as an intense pain takes over her entire body.

'Carla? Are you okay?' Luke asks making his way out of the garage.

'No.' She mumbles, tears streaming down her cheeks as he rushes over to her.

'What's happened? Are you hurt?' He asks and she sighs.

'I-I think I'm having a miscarriage.' She whispers.

'Miscarriage? I didn't know you were pregnant.' He says.

'Neither did it.' She replies.

'Do you want me to take you to the hospital?' He asks and she shakes her head.

'Chelle... Help me to Chelle, please.' She replies.

'Okay. Come on then.' He says putting his arm around her.
