'Oh, who's birthday?' Carla asks, repeating the same words as last year when she walks into the Bistro.
'Seriously?' Leanne asks causing Carla to smile.
'Only kidding... Happy birthday, Nicholas.' Carla replies sitting herself down on her fiancé's knee.
'Glad to see you remembered.' He says smiling as she kisses his cheek.
'How could I forget.' She replies placing a white envelope down on the table.
'We'll give you two a minute...' Steph says dragging both Leanne and Andy away from the couple.
'I do have a present for you...' Carla says wrapping her arms around his neck.
'You didn't have to get me anything, babe.' He replies.
'Well the thing is it hasn't actually arrived yet.' She says.
'Did you order it online? I hate online deliveries at this time of year.' He replies causing her to smile.
'I didn't order online actually... Your present just takes a little longer to make. 30 weeks to be precise.' She says taking hold of his hand and placing it flat on her stomach.
'Do you mean?' He asks and she nods her head.
'Happy birthday, daddy.' She replies reaching into her bag and pulling out a small rectangle piece of paper.
'Oh my god... This is the best present ever.' He says smiling as he turns the paper over to look at the ultrasound.
'When did you go for this?' He asks.
'Yesterday, I paid for a private scan... I wanted to make sure everything was okay before I told you, I didn't want to have to put you through the pain of getting attached and then losing it again.' Carla replies glancing up at him.
'Carla...' He says causing her to bite her bottom lip.
'I'm sorry... Are you angry? I knew I should've told you.' She whispers.
'I'm not angry. God, I'm far from angry. This is amazing, babe... Best birthday ever!' He replies smiling. He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her against his chest.
'I love you.' He says.
'I love you too.' She replies.
'You going tonight?' Michelle asks as Carla pulls a dress out of her wardrobe.
'Of course...' Carla replies smiling.
'I just thought because you've been quite poorly recently.' Michelle says causing Carla to smile.
'I'm not poorly, Chelle... I'm pregnant.' Carla replies shrugging her shoulders.
'What? Are you being serious?' Michelle asks.
'Deadly. I'm 10 weeks exactly. I had a private scan yesterday.' Carla replies smiling.
'Congratulations! Oh my gosh... I'm so happy for you Carla.' Michelle squeals instantly wrapping her arms around Carla.
'I told Nick this morning.' Carla says.
'That's amazing news, darling... How are you feeling?' Michelle asks glancing down to where Carla's hands rest flat on her stomach.
'Sick... Really fucking sick. Oh and tired.' Carla replies.
'How is Nick feeling about it all?' Michelle asks.
'He was so excited, Chelle. The look on his face was priceless.' Carla replies.
'Have you told Gail?' Michelle asks.
'Nick's over there doing that now. I'm so scared, Chelle...' Carla admits.
'Hey... Look at me, you're going to be fine. This baby is going to be fine. Everything is going to be fine.' Michelle says smiling.
'5...4...3...2...1...'
'Happy New Year!' Nick says smiling as he pulls Carla closer to him.
'Happy New Year, baby... 2017 is going to be our year.' She replies wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him in for a kiss.
'Just the three of us.' He whispers against her lips.
'Mmhmmm.' She mumbles.
