Sorry, this is just a short filler chapter, the following chapters will be longer.
As she put her key into the door and swung it open she could smell the Indian takeaway that her and Nick had agreed on getting tonight, as it was a Friday and she was working late. The butterfly feeling she had had in her stomach outside the flat increased to a feeling of sickness and as Nick walked out of the bedroom she felt her palms become sweaty.
"Hey, you're back late, you ready to eat?" Nick said as he walked into the kitchen to get 2 plates.
"Yeh sorry, there was more paper work than I thought, and seeing as Aiden was out with Eva and Johnny is helping Kate with Caz I thought I'd make the most of the peace and get it done and then I popped to over to see how Chelle is doing" she replied as she took of her coat and threw it on the back of the sofa.
She wandered into the kitchen where she was greeted with a warm hug and the soft feeling of Nick's lips against hers. She shivered as the kiss sent a tingle down her spine, something that Roberts rough touch never did.
"That's okay, as long as it means we get the weekend together" Nick said suggestively as he moved to plate up the takeaway. She stayed silent, building up her courage, he was so blissfully unaware of what she was about to do to him and the longer she waited the harder it became.
"How is Michelle doing anyway? " He asked. Michelle had found out that she was pregnant 2 weeks after returning from her trip to see Steve in spain, which now meant she was around 7 weeks gone.
"She is okay, the morning sickness has started to kick in properly though and she is still upset that the news didn't bring Steve home" She replied with a small sigh feeling sorry for her best friend.
"I bet she is, if it were me I would be on the next plane home, but at least she has you and she has Aiden staying with her whilst Liz is away" Nick said with a small smile as they walked over to sit on the sofa.
"Yeh I think she is worried though as Aiden doesn't know much about pregnancy and won't really know what to do if anything goes wrong" she said as she flicked through the channels on the T.V. eventually deciding on George Shore.
"Well all he needs to do is ring you or me or the hospital" Nick said snapping a poppadom in half.
Carla nodded her head in agreement whilst pushing her food around her plate, the nervous sickness feeling had made her lose her appetite. They sat in silence for the rest of the episode before Carla put her plate on the table and turned to face Nick. She had had enough of waiting. She was going to tell him.
