*One month later*
Carla hadn't been feeling herself for quite a few days now,she didn't want to mention anything about it to Peter about it though because she knew that all he would do is worry about her and she was pretty sure that it was just a bug going around.
She had told Peter that she was going to work from home that day so he had scurried off to work leaving her alone in the small flat.
She had been lounging on the sofa watching daytime television all morning when all of a sudden she had a rush to the toilet. She slowly brought herself up from sitting on the floor over the toilet to stand infront of the large sink. She stood for a few seconds and just stared at her pale face in the mirror when it suddenly hit her.
She shot into the kitchen and grabbed the calender that was hanging in the wall, frantically searching for the date.
''No..I can't be..no'' she whispered to herself,flicking to the month before in the calender, ''I can't be pregnant..no.''
She panicked,she had absolutely no idea what to do next. 'Maybe my period is just a bit late,i can't be pregnant..i just can't be' she thought to herself.
She quickly grabbed her coat and bag off the side of the table and ran out of the flat. She stepped out onto the cobbles when saw Steve heading down the street towards her in a street cars cab,she waved her arm out to get his attention. He parked up next to her on the curb and rolled the passenger window down.
''Where to love?'' he asked politely,leaning towards the window.
''Ur..Urm...town..i think..yes..town please'' Steve picked up on her panicked state straight away.
''Are you alright Carla? should i maybe go and fetch Peter?'' he suggested with great concern in his voice.
''NO..No don't do that'' She quickly glanced at the bookies behind her making sure Peter wasn't around before turning back to face Steve again, ''i'm fine..now can you take me or not?''
''If you're sure..''
''I am'' she told him.
''Ok then jump in''
Carla then shuffled into the back of the cab and Steve drove off towards the town center.
Carla arrived back at the flat with a small pharmacy bag with a pregnancy test slipped inside it. She slung her bag and coat onto the sofa and scuttled off into the bathroom taking the small bag with her.
When she had finished she wandered back into the living room and placed the test on the coffee table,waiting nervously for the answer.
'I can't take all this waiting' she thought to herself. She then stood up from the sofa and picked up some freshly ironed clothes,taking then into the bedroom to put them away.
Not long after she had gone into the bedroom Peter returned home from work.
''Carla?'' he called as he strolled into the flat, ''Carla? you in he..'' he paused as he suddenly glanced at the coffee table spotting the pregnancy test
''I'm in here,just a minute'' the voice came from the bedroom. Peter picked up the now answered pregnancy test from the table, ''Hiya lov..oh'' she said as she walked out of the bedroom and into the living room to see Peter stood with the pregnancy test in his hand.
''Carla what's this doing here?''
''I can expla..''
''Is it yours?'' Peter interrupted and Carla gently nodded her head,holding the tears in her eyes, ''Carla it says..it..it says you're..p..pregnant'' he choked.
Carla went into total shock and just froze on the spot,not moving a single bone in her body.
Peter on the other hand was over the moon with the news,he had tried so hard to have a baby with Leanne and now he was getting one with the woman he was madly in love with, ''This is fantastic news Carla! we'll have our own little family'' he exclaimed and Carla just gave him a meek smile in return.
He could see that Carla was worried but he assumed it was just the thought of becoming a mother that frightened her,what he didn't know was that she had no idea if he was the dad or if in fact Liam was.
