There will hopefully be some more lighter-hearted scenes in this chapter! Don't wanna depress you all! Some cute Carla & Peter scenes too me thinks!
The next-morning, Rob insisted that Peter was to come-over to the Factory at lunchtime as he had an "Awesome Surprise" for the both of them. Peter actually arrived on-time for a change, which both Rob, Michelle and Carla were all glad about as they all awaited Rob's news. "Listen Guys, I know that things have been very stressful for you lately, so I wanted to give you the chance to have a break….." Rob began, as Michelle looked-on nervously after what he had suggested to herself and Kieron yesterday. "Which is why I've bought the both of you guys tickets to go to Cuba!" Rob told-them both happily, although Michelle knew deep-down that the only reason that Rob was sending them both away really, was so that he could complete what was supposedly meant to be Rob's Master-Plan to keep Ryan out of prison….. – By handing himself into the Police instead of Ryan. But he couldn't do that with Carla & Peter around, so he had decided to send-them away, so that by the time they got back, things would all be done-and-dusted with, and it would be too late for the both of them to do anything about-it.
"Awww Rob that's so sweet of ya! Really, it is!" Carla said happily as she hugged her brother tightly. "Thank-You so much!" She told-him, delighted that her and Peter would be able to escape from all of this hassle for a couple of weeks. "That's Alright Sis….." Rob told Carla calmly as she released-him from the tight and close-hug. "Yeah thanks Rob mate…..Cheers." Peter thanked-him gratefully as he shook the blokes' hand. They may not have been the best of friends, but they were both slowly-learning to put-up with each-other and to put Carla first instead of themselves for a change. Michelle looked-on suspiciously, as the thank-you's continued between and excited Carla & Peter, and then Rob.
A couple of hours later and Carla and Peter were sat on the aeroplane together, mid-flight. "Oh Baby! I can't wait to get onto that beach that Rob showed-us on the internet!" Carla told Peter excitably. "Hmmm, me too love." Peter replied tiredly, he was half-asleep. "Oh Peter I don't know how you can fall-asleep when the sky looks so pretty from up-here! Look, the ground is like Ant-Sized!" Carla squealed-at Peter in pure-hyperness at just the thought that she would soon be in Cuba with her gorgeous-husband. "You're worse than Simon would be!" Peter told Carla, giving her a rather-amused-look as she watched Carla with this child-like nature that she had, fidgeting about everywhere excitably. – Peter found this rather-adorable as he watched-her. Carla Connor had been on enough aeroplanes in her lifetime, she was always jetting-off around to all of the different-places in the world, so Peter didn't quite understand why Carla was so excited about all of this. "And you're worse than Blanche at an AA Meeting!" Carla quipped-back-with, making Peter laugh. "Hey you're not far wrong there!" Peter replied, chuckling-at Carla's statement.
Carla then happily and quite-contently, snuggled-herself-up to Peter. "Hmmm I can't wait until we're lying on the beach together…..Hot Sun, Hot Sand, Hot semi-naked Guys….." Carla trailed-off dreamily as Peter gave-her a look of mock-disapproval. "Hot semi-naked Husband….." She added-on, making Peter laugh as she did-so. "That's more like-it." He replied and Carla just smiled-at-him as she then placed-one of the softest-kisses ever against Peter's cheek. "I love ya so much ya know Baby?! And I'm sorry if I've pushed-you-away recently." Carla told-him both sweetly and seriously as Peter planted a kiss onto the top of her head, nestling his head against her both soft and silky hair. "Mmm and I love you too Carla. But don't even-mention the whole you pushing-me-away thing again…..Because you're here now and that's all that matters Carla. I Love You So Much. And I would walk to space and back if I could to show you just how-much I mean that Sweetheart." Peter told-her in a rather-cute-way, which just made Carla's heart-melt completely into blobs. He could be such a Charmer sometimes and Carla loved-him all the more for-it.
Carla considered telling Peter to stop being so cheesy, but she was too in love with him for that so she just sighed in pure-contentment as she rested-her weary head against Peter's shoulder. "Oh Peter Barlow, did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?!" She asked-him cutely. "No, but it flamin' well killed when you landed-on top of me!" He sweetly-joked with her and Carla laughed-at-him. "Oh yeah sorry about that….." She trailed-off as she then tiredly closed her eyes and Peter did too as they waited for the rest of their aeroplane-journey to just pass-them by, before they even knew-it, they would be in Cuba, sunning-themselves on the warm and sunny-beaches.
Back in rainy old Weatherfield, Rob has taken the risk of taking both Michelle & Kieron to see Ryan at the lock-up. "Was this your idea?!" Michelle asked Ryan angrily as she furiously walked-over to him. "What?! NO Mum! Of-Course it wasn't! Rob sprung this on me before I even had the chance to refuse his offer. Do you really think I'd let Uncle Rob go to prison for me?! NO! I wouldn't!" Ryan shouted at his Mother as Kieron then intervened. "Yeah Mate, but I don't exactly see you handing yourself into the Police either Mmmate!" Kieron told-him frustratedley. "Shut-Up all of you!" Rob told them with a loud-voice. "My mind has been made-up and you lot arguing has only confirmed my decision even-more. I can't and I won't put-up with any of this one-second longer! I'm handing myself into the police and that's final!" Rob shouted at the lot of them before he then walked-off, leaving the three of them in shock.
"Right that's it! I'm ringing Peter! He needs to know!" Kieron said as he pulled his phone-out. "No Kieron Don't!" Michelle practically begged her boyfriend. "I won't lie to him Michelle! Not again! Not after what happened last-time with Steven and all of that rubbish! PETER is my best-mate and both himself and Carla deserve to know what is happening! And besides Michelle, how do you think Carla will feel when she arrives home to find-out that her brother is taking the slack in Prison just because your son, Ryan, here, is too much of a coward to face the consequences to his actions?! Huh?!" Kieron told Michelle furiously as if he was almost ready to explode at either Ryan or Rob. "I know where you are coming from baby! But let's just leave-it for a couple of days though okay?! See how things pan-out!" Michelle practically begged Kieron once-again and in sighed before he then just nodded-at Michelle in response to her. "Okay then…..Three Days at the most! And then I'm telling Peter, whether you like-it or not!" Kieron then told both Ryan and Michelle and Michelle just hugged Kieron as she then kissed-him on the cheek. "Thank-You My Darlin'. Thank-You-So-Much!" Michelle thanked Kieron ever-so gratefully.
The next-day, and Carla and Peter were led on the beach in Cuba together getting themselves tanned as Peter lay in just a pair of swimming-trunks and sun-glasses and Carla wore a bikini and also a pair of sun-glasses as they lay next to each-other on the blankets. "This was so kind-of Rob!" Carla told Peter happily. "I know right?! The kid actually did something kind-to us for a change!" Peter commented as he then sweetly-smiled at Carla to let-her know that he was only joking-around.
"Ya know, one-day Baby, you two are gonna be the best-of-mates. I just know you are!" Carla told-him happily as she then leaned-over and kissed Peter on the lips. "You can think that all you like if it keeps you happy my darlin'." Peter told her sweetly. "I love you." He then commented as they looked-at each-other directly in the eyes, but through the sun-glasses obviously. "I Love You Too, and I'm glad that we're back-on-track-now. I absolutely-hate falling-out with you Baby." Carla said as she propped herself-up on her side and then reached her hand over to the far-side of Peter's neck and gently stroked-it as she did-so. "Yeah well I didn't exactly enjoy-it all that much either. But we're moving-forwards now though right?!" Peter questioned her sweetly. "Too Right." Carla replied. "We are stronger now than we ever have been before. And I know that our happy future together is only a matter of breaths away….." Carla trailed-off cheekily, leaving Peter suspiciously wondering what she had him store for him next.
"Oh Yeah?!" Peter questioned. "And how do you know that?!" He asked-her cheekily and Carla then just paused for a couple of seconds before she then began to speak-again to answer Peter's question. "…..Let's adopt…..And I know what you are gonna say…..So here's the answer to all of your questions. Yes I'm sure and I know that they won't technically be ours, but the kid won't know that will they?! And I know that you'll be a great Daddy to them, and Simon is gonna make the best Half-Brother ever! And as for me…..Well I'll get there in the end won't I?!" Carla asked with a smile as she then shot a cheeky-wink in the direction of Peter, who just lead-there smiling-widely at Carla as he did-so.
He took his sun-glasses-off, followed by Carla's sun-glasses, before he then stood-up, picking-Carla up as he did-so and then ran with her in his arms in the direction of sea. "AHHH! PETER PUT ME DOWN RIGHT THIS EVERY SECOND!" Carla then screamed in fits of giggles as Peter continued to run with her. Once they reached the shallow-water together, Peter put Carla down and then lay-down in the shallow-water on his back, allowing Carla to climb on top of him as he did-so. "I'm so glad that you've finally come-around to the idea of adoption." Peter told Carla sweetly as they then kissed each-other on the lips.
"Did I really take that long?!" Carla asked-him sadly. "Well yeah you did, but none-of that matters now. I love you so much Carla." Peter told her truthfully. "I know ya do!" Carla replied, flashing a cheeky-grin at Peter as she-did-so. "Anyway. Peter Barlow. Have I told ya how gorgeous ya look in the sunshine?!" She told-him happily and Peter then just cheesily-grinned-at Carla. "Well no ya haven't yet. But thank-you. And I could say the same-things about you. Carla Barlow." Peter replied to Carla, who just giggled-at him before she then passionately kissed him on the lips as the shallow-waves washed over them. "Flippin' Heck That's Cold!" Peter chuckled as they then broke the kissing from each-other. "Ooo Don't Worry Baby. You'll soon warm-it up! I'm sure of it!" Carla told-him seductively before she then caught his lips into another fiery-kiss. "Mmm." Peter said, satisfied with all of the attention that he was getting from Carla on this late-afternoon in Cuba.
Back-Over in Weatherfield, Rob has just arrived at the Police-Station.
"Hello There Sir. How can I help-you today?!" The Police-Officer behind the desk asked Rob.
"I'd like to confess to a drug-related crime….."
