Another update, this one is going so well I'm actually so proud of myself for uploading so quick (only if flaming To Our Future was the same). This chapter contains smut and it moves the story on quite a bit I hope you like the twist. I'm currently planning the intricacies of the story but I will take suggestions if any of you have them.

Thank you all for the reviews, I'm hoping you're enjoying the frequent updates.


Carla woke up and for once Evie was sleeping peacefully beside her in the co-sleeper, her body was pressed against Peter's, then she felt it, a familiar sensation digging into her back, she sighed lustfully turning to face him hooking her leg over his hip to pull him closer which roused him from his sleep, the mood changing in the room rapidly. Carla leaned in and kissed him gently on the lips, Peter already working on deepening the kiss, his tongue already forcing her lips open fighting for dominance with her tongue, Carla raking her fingers through his hair as Peter works on removing her tank top then moving to her shorts pulling them down in one swift motion along with her underwear, Carla returning the favour and yanking Peter's boxer's down grinning in anticipation as she grips the base of his cock, her hand working it into a more hardened state than it was to the previous sensation she felt

"Mmm baby" Peter moans tilting his head back in sheer pleasure, his finger's tweaking her nipples as she gasps in response, her hands still gripping his penis as she shuffles down the bed to take him into her mouth, sucking the tip of his cock

"Shh baby, we don't want to wake 'Chelle up or Evie" Carla teases as she plants wet kisses along his length before returning to suck the tip, sinking down onto him so she could feel him in the back of her throat, her saliva lubricating it nicely

"Oh god" he groans moving his hips in tandem, Carla working magic with her tongue "I can't hold on much longer"

"Yes!" Peter breaths out releasing himself into Carla's mouth as she swallows the sticky substance down her throat, Peter pulling her up and kissing her swollen lips in response, their tongues battling with each other as Carla grabs his cock poising it to her entrance as he pushes it into her causing a grunt from Carla

"I'll go gently" he whispers in case she was still in pain from giving birth to Evie, Peter rocking his hips in circular motions as Carla tilts her head back allowing him to plant wet little sucks along her collarbone, Carla rocking her hips towards Peter's thrusts wanting her to be brought to the brink

"Oh god" Carla cries quietly in case they woke Evie, as she bucks her hips frantically against Peter's starting to feel her orgasm

"Go on baby" Peter encourages into her ear as she sighs lustfully, a warmth encasing his throbbing member which was buried inside of her as he pumps into her rhythmically, Carla rolling her hips to help him as she recovers, her forehead pressed against his, her eyes never leaving his as they both blaze into each other's

"Ugh! Yes!" Peter cries breathlessly as he releases again, his warmth filling Carla as they both rock gently wanting to prolong the moment as they come down from their high, a smirk plastered on Carla's face as Peter pulls out of her followed by a steady stream of the products of sex causing the bedsheets to dampen beneath them both

"Gosh" Carla catches her breath, a hand pressed to her chest "I missed that"

"Look who's awake," Peter says glancing over Carla's body and she turns to face Evie who was glancing up at them both from her co-sleeper

"I'm surprised we didn't wake her or make her upset" Carla laughs sitting up against the headboard pulling the duvet with her to cover her modesty as she tickles Evie's tummy gently as she squirms in the co-sleeper

"Hey beautiful" Carla beams as Evie still looks at her, Carla scooping her up into her arms, Peter placing an arm around Carla's shoulders as they both gaze down at their daughter mesmerised by the eyes staring back at them

"She's grown quite a bit hasn't she?" Peter observes as Carla nods stroking Evie's cheek gently with one of her fingers

"Yeah she has, she's changed so much, her face is chubbier and she's starting to grow out of her newborn clothes so we'll need to go shopping at some point for some more three-month ones"

"Do we have to?" Peter groans as Carla raises an eyebrow

"Uh, yes! She's our daughter we have to provide for her, Peter" Carla grins as Peter rolls his eyes not wanting to go shopping "We also need to get her a passport as well"

"Planning on taking a holiday then?" Peter teases as Carla rolls her eyes tickling Evie's tummy again

"No…well kind of, a family holiday? With Simon as well?" Carla contemplates as Peter raises an eyebrow at the suggestion which made him feel rather excited, they all could do with going somewhere hot

"We could go with John and Cath again?"

"Depends when they're going and if they want a screaming baby with them" Carla shrugs as Peter gets his phone going to give John a call, sliding some pyjama's on leaving Carla to get Evie ready

"Come on then sweetheart, let's get you ready" Carla smiles chucking on her tank top and offering her breast to Evie who accepts gratefully, Carla humming to her as she feeds, Michelle hovering in the doorway welcoming the sight in front of her

"Is she ok?"

"Hmm we're just having some time together whilst Peter talks to John about an impromptu holiday" Carla smiles as Michelle watches on relishing in the bond of Carla and her daughter

"Do you want me to get her anything?" Michelle offers as Carla bites her lip gently trying to think about what they needed

"Could you get her a nappy and a new sleepsuit?" Carla questions as Michelle nods leaving the room and returning with what Carla requested as she smiles

"Ta for that 'Chelle, just saves me having to get up to get it all"

"Why don't I take her for the evening? You and Peter can have a date night or something?" Michelle offers as Carla nods slowly slightly unsure about leaving Evie as she hasn't let her out of her sight yet

"Maybe…I'm not sure about leaving her though"

"You could feed her before you go, then you could go to the bistro, it's nearby?" Michelle questions as Carla nods biting her lip not really wanting to be separated from Evie but she was willing to give it a try, Peter approaching with a big grin on his face causing Carla's face to light up

"So…I've spoken to John and Cath, they're heading out to Malta in the summer, he said that we could bring Simon and Evie as there is plenty of room-"

"Really?"

"Yes really he also said that we can go down for a mini-break beforehand as well, take some of our stuff down there for the summer so we're more prepared this time," Peter says as Carla beams excitedly

"I can't wait, sun, sea-"

"Don't you dare say sex" Michelle inputs as Peter glares at her. Carla snickering as Evie sneezes, Carla kissing her forehead gently to settle her again as well as chuckling lightly

"'Chelle said she would have Evie for us if we wanted to go out for some alone time?" Carla says as Peter glances to Michelle who nods eagerly wanting to spend time with her niece

"Alright then…it'd do us some good to have some time alone without a baby hanging off Carla" Peter smirks as Carla nudges him with her foot causing Peter to laugh slightly at her childish behaviour

"Good, I can't wait to spend time with my niece" Michelle coos as Evie starts to whimper "Do you want anything at the shops as I'm popping out?"

"Umm you could pick her up another pack of nappies, the newborn size" Carla says as Michelle nods tapping Evie's head affectionately

"I'll be back soon" Michelle smiles as Carla nods back, handing Evie to Peter so he could have a cuddle

"I'll need to change these sheets" Carla groans as Peter smirks at her bouncing Evie up and down gently "I'm going to nip in the shower, she needs changing by the way"

"Oh I see how it is! You leave all the rotten jobs to me!" Peter exclaims as Carla shrugs her shoulders nonchalantly heading into the bathroom to have a shower, leaving Peter to have a cuddle with Evie

"Shall we change you then sweetheart" Peter smiles down at his daughter as he walks into her nursery with her in his arms, placing her down on the changing table to change her, grabbing some wipes and a nappy, Carla watching the sight from the doorway, her hair scraped up in a ponytail

"Don't put that one on her" Carla rolls her eyes grabbing a three-month sleepsuit from the chest of drawers handing it to Peter

"Why can't she wear this one?" Peter raises an eyebrow as Carla grins sarcastically

"Because that one is too small, this one fits her" Carla states as if it was obvious as Peter swipes the sleepsuit off her dressing Evie who was stretching her arms on the changing table

"There we go sweetheart" Peter plants a kiss on her forehead picking her up and bouncing her gently as they both head downstairs, Carla settling down on the sofa in the backroom with Evie snuggled on her chest, Peter grabbing a blanket and draping it over both of them

"Ta, I don't suppose you have any food? We kind of worked up an appetite after this morning's session-"

"I knew it!" Michelle beams clapping her hands "How did it feel since giving birth to Evie?"

"Alright, it was a little painful but yeah…it was ok" Carla shrugs as there was a knock at the door, Peter going to answer it and seeing two police officers standing at the door, he sighed allowing them to enter

"We're here to see Mrs Barlow?" one of the officers asks as Peter nods gesturing for them to enter the backroom where Carla was still cuddling Evie

"Oh…Hello?" Carla frowns as Peter mouths 'sorry' to her

"Mrs Barlow we've had a lead on the investigation into the person who may be stalking you"

"Ok…I mean you'd probably do a better job than me at trying to find out who it is" she mutters as the officer sighs, Evie whimpering on Carla's chest

"Mrs Barlow, we have reason to believe your stalking is in fact your brother, Rob Donovan-"

"What?" Peter splutters "He's in prison, for murder!"

"I'm afraid to say that he was released a couple of months ago, we also have reason to believe he was related to the incident which happened at Underworld" the officer informs them as Carla wipes her eyes, her lips pressed to Evie's head

"So he could've been stalking my every move?" Carla exclaims tearfully glancing to Michelle who had gone rather pale, tears forming in her eyes

"'Chelle?" Carla questions, confused as she shakes her head grabbing her bag and jacket and storming out of the pub

"Essentially yes, but don't worry, we have officers searching for him and there will be an officer guarding the back door to your establishment as well, so you don't need to worry" the officer reassures Carla as she sniffles and wipes her tears to make sure they don't fall on Evie and wake her up

"Thank you" Carla whispers as the officer nods

"Your safety is our number one priority, I'll see myself out" the officer smiles leaving the room, Peter taking a seat next to Carla and planting a kiss on her forehead, then one on Evie's head causing her face to scrunch up and let out little grunting noises

"Why is he out Peter?" Carla questions as Peter sighs knowing she didn't need this right now

"I don't know darlin' but we'll keep you both safe, I won't let him touch you ok?" Peter confirms as Carla nods snuggling into his side so he could hold her

"Michelle looked shocked, more shocked than me" Carla states raising an eyebrow as Peter frowns at her, playing with one of Evie's hands as she grips her fingers around one of his

"Wasn't she close to Rob back in the day?" Peter questions as Carla chuckles slightly at the memories clouding her mind before being poked by Peter to bring her back into reality

"I guess so, well we all were" Carla shrugs standing up with Evie in her arms and heading upstairs to the bedroom bumping into Michelle halfway and seeing her tearful expression, Carla immediately handed Evie to Peter who was far from happy being separated from her mum

"Chelle? What's up?" Carla questions leading her into their bedroom, Peter heading into the nursery to settle Evie on his chest in the rocking chair

"I'm so stupid Carla"

"Hey, it can't be that bad?" Carla says as Michelle bursts into uncontrollable tears sobbing into Carla's chest as Carla hushes her gently

"I slept with Rob, that night when…" Michelle states as Carla pulls away from her to pace the room shaking her head incredulously, how could Michelle do that to her?

"You did what?" Carla questions incredulously glaring at Michelle who just continued to sob into the palms of her hands "If this is some sick joke…"

"It's not, I'm so…so sorry" Michelle glances up to look into Carla's eyes which were blazing with fury, the anger bubbling in her veins

"Get out"

"Carla-"

"Get out!" Carla screeches "Take your stuff with you as well!"

"I'm sorry" Michelle says last one time but Carla wasn't happy, her hand colliding with Michelle's cheek as Michelle walks off to collect her stuff leaving Carla to curl up into a ball and sob in a foetal position, Michelle glancing one more time at Carla, her bags firmly in her hands as she leaves the pub

"Carla?" Peter questions holding Evie against his chest as Carla stares into space trying to contemplate everything; Peter placing Evie down in the co-sleeper so he could hold Carla

"Michelle…she…slept with Rob…when she was drunk…" Carla hyperventilates as Peter kisses her forehead holding her close to his body to try and regulate her breathing

"Oh darlin', I'm so sorry"

"I don't want to talk about it"

"Ok, that's fine" Peter replies hesitantly "What do you want me to do?"

"Hold me, please just hold me" she begs as Peter brings her in as close as he could holding her close to his body as she drifts off into a peaceful sleep, leaving Peter to look after both his girls...
