Carla, Peter, Cath and John decided to leave it a couple days as Cath managed to get Carla an appointment in Lampaul, a town in Ushant, the doctor informed them that Carla was perfectly healthy and that the baby was doing fine, they also gave Carla a pack of notes knowing that they were travelling so she could pass them on at any point when they were settled somewhere.

John decided they would travel to the peaceful island of Formentera which was an island off Ibiza, the hot weather appealing to them all, John taking that as an obvious agreement to his suggestion. The journey took ages as they travelled down the west coast of France, then the west coast of Spain, stopping off at various docks to fill the boat up with fuel as well as the spare fuel tanks they had in case they needed a backup. To pass the time, Cath, Carla and Peter chilled on the deck of the boat, Cath making various mocktails for themselves as well as playing endless games and watching boxsets which were stored on the shelf underneath the TV they had, As the weather got warmer the more the excitement flowed, Carla and Peter taking this time to reconnect with each other but they finally arrived at Formentera almost just over a month later from setting off for the journey.

"We're here!" John calls through the boat as Carla grins up at Peter going out onto the deck and feeling the warm temperature of the air and breathing a sigh of relief, Peter going to help John moor up in the dock

"It's so good to be in the heat" Cath says putting her arm around Carla's shoulder as she grins

"I need to go shopping, want to come at some point? I brought mainly warm clothes" Carla asks as Cath nods with a smirk

"You'll be needing maternity clothes soon" Cath sniggers as Carla nudges her in the ribs rolling her eyes

"Oi! I'm not that fat yet, I need to get registered with this hospital at some point as well" Carla smiles as Cath nods in agreement as Peter appears behind her wrapping his arms around her waist

"Hi" he whispers as Cath makes herself scarce, Carla leaning back into his body

"This is just amazing, I'm going to get changed into something a bit cooler, care to join me?" Carla whispers as Peter smacks her arse as she runs through the boat into their cabin Peter immediately pushing her up against the wall kissing her with such intense passion it took her breath away, Carla dragging him onto the bed with her, Peter undressing her and Carla undressing Peter

"Mmm fuck me Peter" Carla smirks as Peter pulls her leggings down to reveal her lacy underwear, running his finger along the hem and down the material towards her centre as she gasps lifting her hips off the bed for Peter to take her underwear off which he does, Carla reaching for his jeans fumbling around desperately as she tears them off him as well as his boxers, Peter ripping his shirt off, Carla copying the motions with hers as they stare at each other greedily, Carla reaching for Peter's cock grabbing it at the base taking her hand from the bottom to the top in slow agonising movements Carla biting her lip

"Carla" Peter moans as Carla grins leaning down to take Peter's hard, throbbing cock in her mouth, sliding it smoothly in and out of her mouth enjoying the fact that Peter was putty in her hands, her hands coming to fondle with his balls as he spreads his legs apart groaning loudly, Carla picking up her speed as Peter finally surrenders releasing in her mouth as she smirks as well as swallowing, Carla coming up to massage Peter's tongue with hers, hot sloppy, wet kisses, desire at its peak, Carla moving to grab Peter's cock, from the kneeling position he was in, Carla straddling his lap, sitting right down on Peter's cock a moan escaping her lips as Peter wraps his arms around her waist as she begins to rock her hips faster

"Yes baby" Peter moans as Carla pants, her exertions at their peak as she reaches the fastest she could possibly go, Peter's cock sliding in and out of her hot, wet pussy, Peter reaching down to play with her clit as she screams out surrendering herself to him as she releases, Peter following after, releasing for a second time as Carla slows her paces to catch her breath, Peter's cock still inside her as she rests her head on his shoulder

"I was meant to be getting changed" Carla raises her eyebrows as him allowing him to slide out of her as he smirks rolling his eyes

"Well I helped you out with undressing" Peter grins as Carla grabs one of the only bikini's she brought with her, throwing it on as Peter glances down to her stomach raising an eyebrow

"What?" she questions as Peter smirks biting his lip

"Peter" she whines as Peter laughs

"Your stomach" he grins as she raises an eyebrow looking in the mirror seeing a very faint bump which would probably be noticeable for her and Peter for now

"Oh wow" Carla grins running a finger over the skin as Peter comes up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist resting them on her tummy, Carla tilting her head to the side

"How are you feeling?" he questions kissing her on the side of her head as she hums

"Excited, nervous, what about you?" Carla questions smiling widely as Peter grins rubbing her stomach

"Excited, nervous as well, but mainly wondering how people back home will take it when we eventually go back" Peter smiles as Carla nods in agreement at Peter's words knowing that this would probably cause more upset

"I should probably check my phone, now that I have signal" Carla sighs grabbing it from the side scrolling through the messages seeing an abundance of messages from Michelle, Kate and Jenny, before going to check the email that Adam set up for them both regarding their businesses

"Ah, Sarah's sent me an email, the payroll for last month and the expenses for underworld, there's one here from Steve as well, I'll reply to them tonight" Carla smiles as Peter nods changing into a pair of shorts

"So then are we going to sunbathe on the deck?" Peter questions as Carla nods, Peter lifting her up bridal style and walking her to the deck Carla grinning as Cath bursts out laughing, having changed into a bikini herself

"Too pregnant to even walk Carla?" Cath smirks as Carla rolls her eyes leaning in to kiss Peter as he places her down on one of the sun loungers, Cath going to sit with Carla as Peter heads up to the top deck with John

"How was that sex you just had?" Carla grins cheekily as Carla blushes furiously glaring at Cath

"Cath! You make me sound like I'm unable to keep my knickers on!"

"Well…When it comes to Peter you can never resist, love" Cath smirks as Carla rolls her eyes lying back on the sun lounger looking through her phone sighing at all the missed messages, all the calls

"Ok what's made you miserable?" Cath questions as Carla sighs handing her phone over to Cath

"100 missed calls from Michelle…wow you're popular, please tell me you didn't leave without consulting anyone" Carla laughs as Carla glares at her Cath biting her lip at Carla's menacing glare

"Well my PA knows we left and our solicitor knows as well, who is a family member, so I'm guessing they spilled the beans" Carla grins as Cath smirks tilting her head to the side rolling her eyes

"Let me guess you still don't know the outcome of Johnny?" Cath questions as Carla sighs knowing she should ring Michelle but really didn't have the patience with the whole thing

"I should ring them, I know I should but do I want to ring to undergo more stress, especially in my condition, I just want to chill and get through my pregnancy the best I can without obstacles being in the way" Carla smiles bittersweetly as Cath nods in agreement knowing stress wouldn't be helpful for Carla right now

"I know, let's take a selfie together, just so they know you're alright, just us two on the sun lounger? What do you say?"

"Alright, sounds like a plan, I'll post it on Facebook or something that should shut them up for a bit" Carla grins shuffling over on her sun lounger so Cath could slide on as they take a selfie, the bright blue sea covering the stop half of the photo, Cath kissing Carla affectionately on the cheek as Carla snapped the photo

"What should I put as a caption?"

"Something mysterious...something cryptic?" Cath grins as Carla rolls her eyes knowing this could stir some things up but she didn't care, it's not like anyone could track her down

"I might just post it without any caption, that's mysterious enough, or with the hashtag 'living life to the full' or something equally as sentimental" Carla smirks as Cath laughs hysterically her eyes wide as the thought of that being in the caption of the photo

"Right, it's posted, I'm going to turn of silent mode on my phone and we can watch the messages pour in" Carla grins as Cath laughs as the first message goes off Carla grabbing her phone seeing that Sean Tully had liked and commented on her post

"One of my workers who should be in work around about now just liked my post, he's a gossip as well so it should get round pretty fast" Carla smirks as Cath rolls her eyes handing Carla the bowl of crisps she poured out

"Ta, another like from Michelle…oh and a message" Carla rolls her eyes taking a handful of crisps and shoving them into her mouth Cath snorting at Carla's mouthful of crisps, Carla glaring at her

"Read the message" Cath states as Carla bites her lip opening the message from Michelle, beginning to read the message, tears filling her eyes, Carla throwing then phone down on the sun lounger and storming inside to her and Peter's cabin, Peter coming down from the top deck after seeing the commotion

"What happened?" he questions as Cath shrugs not really knowing

"She read a message from Michelle who left her 100 calls" Cath shrugs as Peter grabs Carla's phone entering her password and going onto Carla's Facebook, into her messages, sighing placing the phone back down

"I'll be right back" Peter smiles as Cath nods going to join John on the top deck

"Hey" Peter smiles entering their bedroom Carla's gut wrenching sobs filling the room "Oh darlin', don't feel guilty, Michelle said there was nothing they could do, sweetheart"

"I still feel bad, I didn't hate him you know" Carla cries as Peter shuffles into bed with her as she trembles in his arms

"Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry about Johnny" Peter kisses her forehead as she sobs some more, grabbing Peter's phone off the side and ringing Michelle's number

"It's Carla" Carla sniffles down the phone, Michelle immediately picking up on how sad she was

"I'm sorry for dropping that in your messages, we just couldn't get hold of you" Michelle sighs as more tears stream down Carla's face

"Sorry we were travelling, that's why I didn't pick up, what happened?" Carla replies as Michelle sighs audibly

"He died from a cardiac arrest, they tried resuscitating him three times but he then had a cardiac arrest, there was no coming back for him" Michelle explains as Carla bursts out crying

"Why do I always do this? Blow off steam at the wrong times?" Carla questions angrily

"I don't know darlin' but we've had the funeral as I told you" Michelle explains as Carla closes her eyes

"Was it a good turnout?"

"Yeah my mum and dad came, most of the street…how are you anyway, Sarah said that you're away with Peter?" Michelle questions as Carla sighs knowing this was coming

"I'm away with Peter and one of his mates and his wife, that's all you need to know" Carla smiles slightly as Michelle groans at Carla's stubbornness

"You look glowing, in that picture" Michelle smiles as Carla bites her lip instinctively placing a hand on her stomach, Peter doing the same

"Yeah well it's amazing what a bit of sun can do to you 'Chelle" Carla grins slightly as Michelle rolls her eyes on the other end of the phone

"Or you're pregnant with Peter's baby" Michelle grins on the other side of the phone Carla rolling her eyes

"Actually I decided to go back on contraception again, especially as we were travelling, I wouldn't really like to have fallen pregnant right now, I'm surprised you haven't booked yourself a holiday with Robert yet" Carla covers as Peter raises an eyebrow rubbing her stomach for her

"Yeah we've book a couple of weeks in Valencia a couple of weeks after the October half term" Michelle beams down the phone as Carla smiles

"Anyway I need to get going, I'm meant to be going shopping with Cath" Carla states poised to hang up as Michelle sighs

"Have fun wherever you are and I'm sorry about Johnny" Michelle sighs down the phone before hanging up, Carla placing the phone on the bedside table

"Back on contraception ey?" Peter smirks tracing lazy patterns across her stomach as she nudges him rolling her eyes knowing how it sounded

"She guessed I was pregnant as I looked glowing in the photo I posted, apparently"

"You are glowing, want to talk about Johnny?" Peter offers as Carla sighs

"I just feel numb I guess, waiting for it to sink in" Carla replies as Peter kisses her forehead as there was a knock on the door, Cath sticking her head around the door

"Do you want to go shopping?" Cath questions as Carla looks up at Peter as if to ask for permission

"You go, it might take your mind off Johnny" Peter suggests as Carla nods, sliding her shorts on and grabbing a hoody

"Alright, shall I get some euros as well?" Carla questions as Peter nods knowing they would need cash

"So then, I'll see you soon" Carla grins giving Peter a quick kiss before leaving to go shopping with Cath

"What are you looking for?" Cath questions as Carla goes through numerous clothes racks groaning at every piece of clothing she didn't want to wear or didn't like

"I want a few more bikini's as most people stroll around with bikini tops on in these parts, some shorts as well" Carla smiles rummaging through a collection of denim shorts picking out a couple of pairs in her size and loading them into a basket

"Shall we grab a taxi to the hospital see if we can get a scan sorted for you?" Cath suggests as Carla bites her lip, nodding thinking that she may as well get it over and done with going to pay for the clothes she bought as Cath tracks down a taxi

Carla and Cath arrived back at the dock around 5pm that evening, Carla had the letter for her scan which was in three weeks time which her and Peter were thrilled about. They spent the evening sunbathing and playing cards like they usually did, Carla falling asleep on the sun lounger leaving Peter to carry her to the bedroom and put her to bed before going out on the deck to ring Simon knowing that he should've probably done that when he left.

"Si?" Peter asks down the phone

"Hi…mum wants to speak to you…she's not happy" Simon drones down the phone, Peter sighing

"Where are you anyway?" Simon questions as Peter rolls his eyes thinking that Leanne was coaching Simon on what to say on the other side of the phone

"In Spain" Peter replies as Simon gasps

"Cool, I wish I could come"

"Listen Si, you can't tell anyone about where we are ok?" Peter panics knowing that Carla would bite his head off if they knew where she was or which country they were in

"I wont don't worry, I think it's sweet how you went with Carla, I don't blame you for it, mum does though" Simon retorts as Peter groans knowing that he would get a mouthful from Leanne

"Well I thought she would to be honest with ya, anyway what are you doing for October half term?" Peter questions, a plan coming together in his head

"Nothing much probably just lazing around in the flat going out with some mates, that sort of thing" Simon huffs as Peter grins

"How would you like to come over to Spain for that week?" Peter suggests as Simon gasps excitedly

"Really? but how would I get there? I'm not old enough yet to fly on a plane by myself" Simon sighs as Peter bites his lip

"Well I was thinking I could get a return ticket and fly out to see you and take you over again" Peter suggests as Simon squeals excitedly

"Would Carla come?"

"No probably not, it'll just be me she'll stay here, what do you say?" Peter says knowing all well Carla would not want to go back to Weatherfield

"Yes! Please dad I will do anything to get away" Simon groans as Peter laughs down the phone

"Alright I'll give your mum a ring, I might be seeing you soon then" Peter grins as Simon beams excitedly

"Bye dad"

"Who was that?" Carla questions padding out onto the deck wrapping her arms around Peter's neck

"That was Simon, I reckon he could do with some sun so I offered to fly back and take him out here, if that's ok with you?" Peter questions as Carla nods excitedly knowing she wanted to see Simon

"Yeah of course, I really want to see Simon, you haven't told him where we were though?" Carla questions as Peter shakes his head

"I just said we were in Spain, he won't spill the beans of our exact location so I wouldn't worry" Peter grins as Carla smirks leaning in to kiss him, her tongue skimming across his lips as he weaves a hand through her hair

"How about we call it a night?" Carla whispers suggestively as Peter smirks knowing exactly where she was going with this conversation

"I would love nothing more"
