Six months later.
What day is it and in what month? This clock never seemed so alive. I can't keep up and I can't back down, I've been losing so much time.
Her arms wrap around his neck as his hands settle on her waist. Their foreheads are resting against each other as their bodies sway in time with the music and it seems as if they're the only ones in the room right now.
'I'm so glad you're finally Mrs Carla Tilsley.' He whispers, her nose gently brushing against his.
'Mmm... You're stuck with me now.' She says and he smiles.
'Wouldn't have it any other way.' He replies. Smiling she shuffles closer to him so their bodies are pressed together and rests her head on his shoulder.
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose. And it's you and me and all of the people. And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you.
'I booked us a room upstairs.' She whispers in his ear.
'W-What?' He asks and she pulls back to look at him.
'We're not having a honeymoon so I figured we could have at least one night to ourselves.' She replies causing him to smile.
'So us and the kids are staying here?' He asks.
'Just us. Your mum is having Florrie and Michelle is having Theo... Call me selfish but I want you all to myself tonight.' She admits.
'Have I ever told you how much I love you?' He asks.
'Mmm... I wouldn't mind hearing it again.' She replies.
'I love you so much...' He says leaning forward and brushing his lips against hers. Tonight will be the first time they've spent the night away from Theodore and if she's honest the thought of it is terrifying her.
All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right, I'm tripping on words. You got my head spinning. I don't know where to go from here
'I missed you last night.' He says causing her to smile.
'Did ya now? I missed you too. I would say the bed felt empty without you but I had Chelle and Kate in with me so...' She replies and he laughs.
'Did you have a good night?' He asks.
'Mmm... Kate got drunk.' She replies.
'Did you have a drink?' He asks.
'Nope. I was had the kids plus I hadn't pumped for Theo.' She replies as he kisses her forehead.
'Did you pump for tonight?' He asks and she nods her head.
'Mmhmm... Can we stop talking about my boobs please?' She asks and he laughs.
'Okay let's change the subject, although they do look amazing in that dress.' He replies smiling.
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to prove. And it's you and me and all of the people. And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you.
'Mamma! Daddda!' Florence shouts as she runs over to her parents, clinging onto Nick's leg.
'Hi, baby girl... Do you want to dance?' Nick asks. Carla smiles as she watches him bend down and lift Florence into his arms. He balances her on his hip while wrapping his free hand around Carla's waist.
'Why don't I go get Theo?' She suggests placing a kiss on Florence's forehead.
'That sounds good.' He replies. He watches as she turns and quickly makes her way over to her best friend. She lifts Theo into her arms and makes her way back to her husband, their little family now complete.
The past six months haven't been easy, in fact they've probably been the hardest they have ever been through. But they made it through and they wouldn't change it for the world.
Something about you now I can't quite figure out. Everything she does is beautiful. Everything she does is right.
'Congratulations Auntie Car!' Ryan says as he makes his way up to Carla who has Theodore balanced on her hip, watching Nick dance with his mum.
'Ryan! You made it!' She says smiling.
'Of course I did.' He replies hugging her.
'I'm so glad you're here... You've not met Theo, have you?' She asks glancing at the little boy as he sucks on his fingers.
'No I have not... He's beautiful Auntie Car.' He replies smiling as the little boy buries his head in Carla's shoulder.
'At this point I'd like to invite all parents and their children to the dance floor.' The DJ announces.
'Go dance with your mum, Ryan.' Carla says smiling as she kisses his cheek. She watches as he makes his way over to Michelle and puts his arm out to her. She watches everyone filter onto the dance floor as she begins to gently sway with Theodore.
'Florrie, come dance with mummy.' She says putting her hand out. The little girl instantly grabs onto it and lets Carla spin her around. Nick had been reluctant to do a mother and son dance because he knew she wouldn't be able to do a father and daughter dance.
She glances out at the dance floor and smiles at all the people dancing. Michelle with Ryan, Steve with Amy, Johnny with Kate, David and Kylie with Max and Lily. Everybody seems to be having a great time and that's exactly what she wanted, what they both wanted.
