Chap 36
Michelle and rob had spent all morning in the flat with Carla as Peter said he had to go out for a while. They were all taking turns holding her but she had been asleep most of the time as she spent all night awake and crying. Carla and Peter had taken turns getting up to feed her, change her and comfort her. They were both surprised how well they were adjusting considering neither of them had really done this before. They expected things to et harder but for now they were coping and that's all that mattered.
Peter arrived home and rob made everyone some lunch. They sat down to eat rob made an announcement.
"we were thinking of going to wet baby's head tomorrow night of your up for it Peter. Ask your dad and ciaran and me and Ryan be there and Steve"
"Sounds good mate but I think I should stay with Carla"
"Don't be daft Peter. Go. It's a lovely idea rob" Carla said as she squeezed peters hand under the table. She mouthed a little "thank you" to rob who just acknowledged this with a wink.
"Yea alright rob. Sounds good mate thanks"
"I'm actually glad your both here" Carla announced as they sat around chatting after lunch. Emmie had woken up and Carla was feeding her.
"Peter and I would like to ask you both something"
Michelle and rob glanced at each other. "Go on" Michelle was curious. "Yea sis what's up"
"We would like both of you to be emmies god parents" Peter announced.
"Hey that's amazing. I'm honoured" rob rose to his feet to shake peters hand and give Carla a kiss on the cheek.
"I'd love to Carla. Peter. Thank you" Michelle was nearly crying as she went to give Peter a hug and a kiss on the cheek and walked over to Carla then to give her a kiss as she was still feeding Emmie.
"Why don't I come over tomorrow while the boys are in the pub. I can give you a hand to organise stuff" Michelle asked as she took over feeding Emmie as Carla went to the toilet.
"Yea sure babe"
