'I'm just saying that maybe being pregnant again wouldn't be such a bad thing... We can afford another baby, we want another baby so what harm will it do?' Nick asks as Carla sighs.
'I don't want to be pregnant right now...' She replies quietly.
'Why?' He asks.
'I don't think my body can handle another pregnancy right now. I've been working really hard trying to lose the baby weight and I don't want to be pregnant at our wedding.' She replies.
'So you don't want to be pregnant because you don't want to put weight on again? Do you realise how selfish that sounds? There are people out there who would kill to be pregnant right now.' He says.
'I get that I do but I just don't right now. Do you realise how selfish you're being by wanting me to be pregnant just because you want another baby, what about what I want?' She asks.
'I thought this was what you wanted. A little brother or sister for Florence.' He says and she sighs.
'Just go to work, Nick. We can talk later.' She replies.
'I love you.' He says leaning over to kiss her.
'Mmm...' She mumbles turning her face to the side so he kisses her cheek instead.
'Give Flo-Belle a kiss from me.' He says and she nods her head.
'So what's going on?' Michelle asks as she sits on the sofa across from Carla.
'I think I'm pregnant.' Carla replies.
'What? Seriously?' Michelle asks and Carla sighs.
'I don't want to be pregnant, Chelle.' Carla admits.
'What makes you think you're pregnant?' Michelle asks.
'I'm so tired. I feel sick like 24/7. I just- I have a feeling.' Carla replies running her hands over her face.
'What does Nick think of the possibility?' Michelle asks.
'He wants me to be pregnant... He said I was selfish because I told him I didn't want to put the weight back on or be a pregnant bride.' Carla replies. Michelle sighs and gently places her hand on Carla's knee.
'You're probably both just exhausted. I'm sure if you are pregnant everything will work out, regardless of what you choose to do.' Michelle says.
'I don't want to lose him, Chelle... But I also don't want to go through a pregnancy that I know I'm not ready for.' Carla admits.
'How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant with Florence?' Michelle asks.
'Terrified... Completely and utterly terrified.' Carla replies.
'And how do you feel about Florence?' Michelle asks.
'I adore her obviously... She's my life.' Carla replies causing Michelle to smile.
'And how do you know you'll feel any different about this baby if you're pregnant?' She asks.
'Because I'm not ready... I'm worried that I'll resent the baby.' Carla admits.
'I think you're scared, Carla... I think you're scared that you won't love this baby as much as you love Florence and I think you're scared that you won't know how to split your time between them both.' Michelle says.
'I think you need to talk to Nick... Tell him everything you've told me.' She adds and Carla nods her head.
'Hey...' Carla says as Nick makes his way into the kitchen where she is doing the dishes.
'Hi, how are you?' He asks leaning on the worktop beside her.
'I'm okay. I think we need to talk.' She replies.
'I'm sorry about this morning.' He says and she sighs.
'I'm scared, Nick... I don't know how I can love another child as much as I love Florence. I do want another baby, I just wasn't expecting one this soon.' She admits.
'I understand that, I do. I didn't realise how much this would affect you but I'm not the one who has to go through the pregnancy. If this isn't what you want, that's okay... I just want you to be happy.' He says gently wiping a tear from her cheek.
'I'm sorry I was a bitch this morning... Can I blame it on the pregnancy hormones?' She asks and he laughs.
'We don't even know if you're pregnant yet.' He says smiling at her.
'We do actually... I took a test earlier. It was positive.' She replies smiling.
