'You okay?' Carla asks gently running her fingers across Nicks bare chest as they lie in bed watch Eliza and Grace play with a little tea set.
'I've got a bit of a headache.' Nick admits.
'Really? Have you taken your tablets this morning?' She asks and he nods his head.
'Yeah. It's not that bad, honestly.' He replies.
'Why don't I take those two to see Chelle for a couple of hours and you can get some more sleep?' She suggests.
'Would you mind?' He asks.
'Of course I wouldn't. Get some more sleep and I'll see you shortly, okay?' She replies kissing the top of his head.
'Thank you...' He says quietly.
'I love you.' She whispers.
'I love you too.' He replies smiling.
'What's up with you? Where's Nick?' Michelle asks as she sits down across from Carla in Roy's.
'Nothing... He's at the hotel, got a bit of a headache.' Carla replies, a hot mug of coffee clutched between her hands.
'Oh really? Are you worried about him?' Michelle asks and Carla sighs.
'I don't think there's ever a time when I'm not worried about him, Chelle.' Carla admits.
'You look exhausted.' Michelle says.
'Mm... I don't think that's down to worrying about Nick.' Carla replies glancing behind the counter where Cathy has Eliza balanced on her hip making a milkshake.
'What do you mean?' Michelle asks.
'I feel sick, in fact the smell of your roll is making me want to throw up right now. I've been getting this backache and headaches and I've been spotting.' Carla replies glancing down at her coffee.
'Do you mean what I think you mean?' Michelle asks.
'I'm pretty certain I am but I don't know, I've not taken a test yet.' Carla replies.
'Why do I get the feeling your not very happy about this?' Michelle asks and Carla sighs.
'Because I'm not. Another baby would be the worst thing that could happen to us right now.' Carla replies.
'Don't say that, Car... Baby's are a blessing.' Michelle says.
'A blessing that I can't cope with. I've already got two aged two and under. Nick's headaches are really bad at times and we've got the restaurant. I just can't cope with anymore, I'm barely coping as it is.' Carla replies.
'You're doing fine. How long have you been thinking you're pregnant?' Michelle asks and Carla shrugs her shoulders.
'A few weeks.' She replies.
'How many weeks is a few?' Michelle asks.
'Four.' Carla replies.
'Four weeks? That's practically a month, Carla. You need to take a test soon.' Michelle says.
'If I don't take a test then it's not real, is it?' Carla asks causing Michelle to sigh.
'When have I heard this before? Carla, this isn't going to go away. I know you would never forgive yourself if you didn't take a test and something happened to the baby...' Michelle says.
'I'm scared.' Carla admits.
'Well?' Michelle asks as Carla makes her way into the room.
'It's positive.' Carla whispers
'Oh Carla...' Michelle says instantly making her way over to her best friend.
'I don't want this baby, Chelle... It's too much.' Carla replies
'Oh sweetie... You've been doing great though, it's just another little person to join your family.' Michelle says wrapping her arms around Carla.
'But I've not though, have I? Everybody keeps saying that I'm doing so well and I'm so strong but I'm not, Chelle... This is killing me.' Carla admits.
'What do you mean?' Michelle asks.
'You all think everything is fine but you don't see things down there. It's so hard, Chelle. This isn't just me not wanting another baby, this isn't like when I was pregnant with Peter's baby. This is me fully admitting I can't cope with another baby.' Carla replies, tears streaming down her cheeks.
'Oh... So what are you going to do?' Michelle asks.
'I'm going to take the kids back to the hotel and we're going to prepare for our holiday.' Carla replies quietly.
'You can't ignore this.' Michelle says.
'I'm not. We go to Paris tomorrow, Chelle. I'm still gonna be pregnant when I get back, I'll deal with it then.' Carla replies.
'And by deal with it do you mean abortion?' Michelle asks.
'I don't know. I'll need to speak to Nick about it, won't it?' Carla replies quietly.
'You know I'm always here for you, Carla. One phone call and I'll be straight down to Devon.' Michelle says causing Carla to sigh.
'You know maybe if this had been in a few years time things would've been great. I could've coped.' Carla replies quietly.
'Are you okay?' Nick asks smiling as he watches Carla fold some clothes and place them in her suitcase.
'I'm fine, babe. Just tired.' Carla replies glancing up at him. Both Eliza and Grace are having a sleep before they leave for the airport.
'Thank you for taking the girls out today. I promise at some point tomorrow I'll let you get a couple of hours sleep while I entertain them.' He says.
'It's fine, honestly. Cathy showed Eliza how to make a milkshake and Chelle spoiled them rotten with cuddles.' She replies.
'Mmm... Come here.' He says reaching for her hand. She takes his hand and smiles as he pulls her up off the floor and into his arms.
'I love you.' He whispers wrapping his arms around her waist.
'I love you too.' She replies smiling.
'I can't wait to see Liza's face tomorrow when we get to the park.' He says as Carla sits herself down on his knee.
'Oh I know. Wait until she sees Minnie Mouse. She's going to be so excited... I'm a bit worried Gracie is going to be scared of the characters though.' She replies.
'She was a bit terrified of Peppa at Peppa Pig world wasn't she?' He says and she laughs.
'Mm... I'm sure we'll have a great time regardless.' She replies.
'I'm sure we will.' He says kissing her cheek.
