Carla and Nick were having their first scan today.

Carla was extremely nervous given her past history.

"It'll all be alright." Nick tried to reassure her.

"At least you'll actually turn up." Carla said sarcastically, her mind being drawn back to having to go through her first ever scan on her own because Peter had been out drinking instead of being by her side.

"Of course I will." Nick said as he planted a kiss on her lips. "I'll see you at four."

"Mrs Connor... or is it Mrs Tilsley?" Kirk entered the office and appeared to be in a panic.

"Urm." Carla hadn't thought about it. "What is it Kirk?"

"I think I've messed the orders up. Put them in the wrong boxes."

"Oh Kirk! You are joking me!" Carla threw her hands up in frustration.

She followed Kirk out into the loading bay and he was right. The two orders that were due out for delivery today had been messed up.

"I really don't need this Kirk! Not today!" Carla raised her voice.

"What's going on?!" Aidan rushed in wondering what all the shouting was about.

"Fix it Aidan, please!" Carla sighed as she stormed out, not wanting the stress of Kirk's mistake today of all days.

"All sorted. He'll only be five minutes late." Aidan walked back into the office a while later.

"Thankyou. I just couldn't handle that today. I have my scan later."

"Oh well you sit back and relax. You should've said." Aidan replied. "What time?"

"Four." Carla said. "So I'll be leaving a little bit early."

"You're the boss." Aidan laughed. "That's alright."

"I need to talk to you actually about when I stop working and go on maternity leave." Carla said. "I'm going to hand you over a share of the business if you'll take care of it while I'm away." Carla suggested.

"Oh.. wow. Thanks!" Aidan smiled. "That's amazing."

"Well you can practically run this place with your eyes shut." Carla smiled. "I can trust you won't run it into the ground." She laughed.

"Are you ready?" Nick entered the office as Carla grabbed her coat.

"Good luck guys!" Aidan called after them as Carla turned back with a hint of fear in her eyes.

"I didn't mean it like that." Aidan realised. "You won't need luck."

"Thanks" Carla smiled at her brother.

"You okay?" Nick took her hand as they waited.

"Yeah." Carla smiled.

"Carla Connor." A midwife called out as the couple stood up.

The second the scan began, Carla looked at the screen. "Is everything okay?!"

Nick laughed. "Carla she's barely even had the chance to look yet babe."

"Sorry." Carla apologised.

"No need to apologise." The midwife smiled. "I understand you had some complications in the past so to be nervous is totally understandable"

"Here's baby!" The midwife smiled at the couple. "Happy and healthy."

Carla sighed a sigh of pure relief.

"See I told you." Nick whispered, squeezing her hand.

The midwife handed them some scan pictures of their baby. As they exited the hospital, they were both beaming down at the photographs.

"Can you believe that life is growing inside me?" Carla said.

Nick placed one hand on her stomach and the other around her waist.

"You're going to be the best mother."

"You already are the best mother." Nick corrected himself as Carla smiled at his words.

"I know we've both lost in the past but this is it, Carla. This time it's all going to work out."

A short while later in the pub.

Sarah was serving on her own behind the bar when a unknown man entered the bar.

"Hello." Sarah greeted him.

"You new around here?" She asked as he nodded. He was dressed smartly in a suit and tie. He was well presented.

A woman shortly followed him inside.

"Can we get a pint and a glass of your best red please?" He asked Sarah as she began to get the drinks.

The man paid for the drinks while looking down at the bar then signalled the woman to a booth at the back of the pub.

A few people started to talk amongst themselves within the pub as the couple sat down.

"Why's he back?"

"Oh my.."

"I thought he was..."

"Does Carla know about this?"

"Does Carla know about what?" Carla overhead as her and Nick opened the doors to the pub and stepped inside.

At the same time, the man stood up from his booth and turned around to head back towards the bar having forgotten to order two hotpots.

He soon clocked eyes with Carla and Nick standing there, Carla still wondering what it was she was supposed to know about.

Then she turned, seeing a man in a grey suit out of the corner of her eyes.

Frank Foster.
