Carla and Liam had been cuddling in each others arms for about 10 minutes now while Peter watched from behind the door,hurting by the way they were so comfortable in each others presents. What was he to do? get out with it and hit Liam? go and have a confrontation with the two of them? or just leave it for the time being,after all,he didn't want to ruin Carla's birthday after he had tried so hard to make it as special as possible for her.

Carla removed herself from Liams arms and sat up straight. Peter shuffled back slightly,cautious by her suddenly movement.

''Liam,we should go back inside,everyone will be wondering where we've got to..'' she told him,glancing down at her watch before a shocked expression appeared across her face, ''Gosh! we've been gone half an hour,i was only meant to be going to the loo!''

Liam couldn't help but giggle at her,she was so cute when she was worried. He sat admiring her for a few more minutes before she gently slapped his arm, ''Come on!'' she tried to tell him a stern voice but she couldn't,not to Liam,all he had to do was look at her with those big blue eyes and her heart melted,she was like putty in his hands.

''Ok,ok'' he laughed, ''I'm coming''

They both stood up from the bench and made their way to the door before Liam grabbed her arm and pulled her body close,so it was touching his, ''you are the most gorgeous woman on the planet,you know that?'' Carla began to blush uncontrollably and just looked down at the floor,trying t avoid Liam seeing her bright red face. He placed a single finger under her chin and pushed it upwards so their eyes could meet, ''I love you so much Carla,always have and always will,never forget that,yeah?''

''I love you too Liam''

Peter sat himself back down in the booth.

''did you find them?'' Maria questioned him

''nope but they can't of gone far'' Peter was trying desperately to act normal,like nothing had happened but he was finding it incredibly hard.

''well we can't have a birthday party without the birthday girl!'' Michelle said,scrambling out of the small area, ''I'll go and have another look in the toile-'' she was cut off when Carla and Liam suddenly appeared infront of her, ''Oi, where have you two been?''

''Just out the back getting some air'' Liam chirped with a massive grin plastered across his face as he looked down at Carla who also had a smile as bright and as large as the sun. Peter clenched his fists under the table,he wanted to hurt Liam so much but he knew it wasn't the time or the place.

Carla perched herself next to Peter,watching the frustration build in his eyes, ''What's up baby?'' she asked him, in a soft,concerned voice.

''Nothing really,it's just i was worried about you,you were gone for so long,i thought something bad had happened''

Carla felt the guilt rising at the thought of Peter sat here terrified that something had happened to her when she was actually outside with Liam.

''I'm sorry Peter,please don't be mad at me?'' She practically begged him,she hated it when was angry at her.

Peter swiveled his head around to look at her, ''how could i be mad at you?'' he planted a kiss on her forehead and she smiled at him sweetly.

Liam and Michelle placed another round of drinks on the table and then sat opposite Carla and Peter in the booth.

''Are you sure you don't want anything stronger than orange juice Carla? it is your birthday after all,i'm sure Peter wouldn't mind..'' Michelle said,trying to get her best friend to have some fun.

''No,honestly i'm-''

''Actually,we have something to tell you all..'' Peter interrupted.

Carla glared at Peter, ''Peter,no we don't'' she said him in a firm voice

''Come on Carla,there's no need to be shy''

''Peter,stop this,now.''

''But these are our close friends,they should know''

''Know what?'' Maria asked

''Carla's-'' Peter began

''Peter.''

''Carla's pregnant''

''Oh my god! that's great news!'' Michelle grinned,getting up and running over to hug her best friend.

''Isn't it just!'' Peter said in a slightly sarcastic way.

Carla and Liam looked at each other as everyone else congratulated Peter, ''I'm sorry'' she mouthed and Liam just gave her one of his loving smiles as if to say 'everything will be ok'

Peter turned his attention to Carla, ''you're not annoyed with me are you?'' he asked her,raising an eyebrow

''Of course not,i just wish you would of warned me before you did it''

''Sorry baby,i was just so excited to tell people,we are finally going to be a family,we can put all that bad stuff behind us now,we'll fight for Si and it'll be you,me,Si and our little baby..our little family'' he bent down and kissed Carla's stomach. Liam shuffled awkwardly in his seat,looking away from this beautiful scene.

A few more hours past and Maria and Nick had said her goodbyes and left,leaving Liam,Carla,Peter and Michelle sat in the pub.

Peter just sat and gazed at Carla as she laughed and joked with her brother and sister in-law.

''I love you baby'' he suddenly blurted out,making Carla feel uncomfortable.

''I love you too'' she smiled at him awkwardly

''Awwwh! how cute are you two! aren't they cute Liam? why can't i find someone as cute as that?'' a drunken Michelle said

''I think we should get you home,don't you?'' Liam giggled at his drunk sister as she stumbled around

''Yeah,it is getting pretty late,maybe we should be getting off to darling'' Carla told Peter,getting her things together so she would be ready to go

''Yeah we probably should'' he admitted,taking one last gulp of his juice and placing the empty glass on the table, ''i might have another birthday present for you at home,if you're good'' he said in a seductive voice,nudging Carla to get out of the booth.

Liam felt a wave of jealously run through him,it should be him leaving with Carla,him going home with Carla,him making love with Carla,not Peter. He had underestimated how difficult it would be seeing Peter all over Carla,it broke his heart seeing her with another man,she should be with him,they belonged together.

''Night you two'' Carla smiled sweetly at Liam before being dragged out of the pub by Peter.
