"Hi mum" Steve said as they both walked hand in hand into the Rovers to fine it reasonable empty with just a few locals and Liz; his mum busy working away.

"Steve" She questioned looking up from cleaning underneath the bar to find his son and a women she thought looked recognizable cuddled up into his chest looking oddly pail and tired .

"Hey" He said slowly approaching the bar, Michelle slowly chugging behind him now looking physically drained as well as mentally this whole pregnancy thing obviously taking a bigger toll on her than expected.

"So what brings you and eh your friend back here"

"Friend you know her"

"Recognize her but can't remember her"

"Well this is" He said pausing to pull Michelle onto his lap before realising how her usually flawless completion had turned to a more paler than usual colour and also looked awfully tired and drained of life in general.

"This is eh Michelle the one who used to work here and where eh together and she's pregnant" Steve finally stuttered out while continuously fussing over his girlfriend who he could tell was becoming increasingly tired despite what she said.

"So a granny now am I" Liz said observing the younger couple on the other side of the bar to her.

"Yep, granny to 3 babies"

"Three?"

"Uh-huh triplets"

"Aww well, well done guys dead proud"

"Yeah so are we, anyway I think we'll go take a comfier seat get this one something to eat" Steve said lifting his precious women over to the one of the comfier buffet style seats when a group of boys walked in who he instantly recognized as Paul and Liam her older brothers, with Carla tagging along beside Paul, he hesitated a moment wondering to wake his girlfriend from her semi conscious state but in the end just decided to leave it, if they really wanted to find stuff out they would all come over in force and would get all the information needed. Just as he had got him and Michelle both in a comfy enough position Liam came bounding over loosely followed by Paul and the Carla.

"So Stevie who's the latest bird then" Liam asked taking a seat beside him not paying much attention to what he was saying about his younger sister

"You are some lucky man mate even I'll say that just from behind I can tell this is the fittest bird on the street" He continued rambling on as both Paul and Carla burst out with laughter as they begun to realise who was sitting cuddled up into Steve.

"Liam pal watch what you're saying people will get the wrong idea" Paul said gently rubbing his sisters turned back as she muttered something barely audible but Steve seemed to understand every word of it as he muttered something back before kissing her hair and tightening his grip around her lower back.

"So you and our chelle eh how long this been going on for" Carla then asked swirling her wine around in its glass, a smile escaping her lips watching Liam's slightly puzzled face turn into one of utter shock.

"That that's ma sister?" He questioned utterly gobsmacked as he slowly moved away to a more respectable distance.

"Yep the one and only, and pretty much since she started working on the ship" Steve said holding onto Michelle tighter as she started shifting around slightly on his lap and looked down to find she was now fully awake and wanting something.

"What you wanting babe"

"W'dya think"

"Well that could be many things of course but most likely you'll be wanting food or you want to go home and straight to bed"

"How d'ya guess" Michelle smirks readjusting her position on Steve so they could both see each other clearer.

"Because deary you're up the duff and from my couple of weeks experience there's nothing much else you want"

"Oh there is I'll make you a list but right now I want you and some food"

"All sounds harmless and possible, what you wanting to eat"

"Hotpot crisps whatever you choose" She said shuffling to get off him As Carla popped her head in-between them both.

"Hello nice to meet you my name is Carla Connor and I am married to your brother" She said as Steve and Michelle both exchanged glances of confusion to each other.

"Eh hello" Michelle eventually questioned after moments of confusion.

"Hmm yah want a drink babe"

"Would do but…. I cant"

"Oh do we not now, well how about Steve goes and gets you some food or whatever you were wanting earlier and me and you can catch up" Carla said with a certain tone of authority which instantly got Steve up and moving towards the bar.

"So what made you decide to come back then"

"Take a wild guess"

"Oh lovely I have one guess which I think is exactly the reason but I'm waiting on you saying it"

"Fine then, im pregnant" Michelle eventually confessed as Carla screamed out attracting the attention of the whole pub.

"Calm down it's not that bigger news when put into proportion with everything else"

"Everything else…?"

"Depends, are you going to scream your reaction"

"No no just hurry up and tell me"

"Triplets"

"What oh my god chelle this is just too amazing!" Carla nearly screamed as Steve came back over with a steaming warm hotpot and gently placed it down in front of Michelle before retaking his seat.

"Okay baby" He asked gently kissing her hair as she started tucking into the hotpot he had got for her, when Liam started to shimmy up next to him once again.

"So mate is this true what I've heard about Chelle being pregnant"

"Yeah we're over the moon"

"Well don't ever ever hurt her I mean it pal"

"Uch Liam will you be quite, Steve is like the biggest teddy bear ever, he couldn't hurt a fly if he tried" His younger sister interrupted giving him the glare only she could pull off.

"No no I would never ever leave her, couldn't I mean look at her"

"We don't have a problem then, you told mum yet"

"No why"

"And he scores again! She's coming down in a couple of weeks"

"Awww we'll handle this wont we baby"

"Yeah we will, anyway you wanting that food or you just want to go straight to bed?"

"Beddie"

"Hmm thought as much, you're eating something when you wake up though"

"Sure sure mum" She said sarcastically giggling away before they said their goodbyes and headed home.

Wow! Sorry its been so long since I've updated but I was away on holiday and then came back with SERIOUS writers block so this is probably a pretty crappy chapter but I tired ma best
