Thank you for the reviews :) Sorry this one's a little late I was having a lot of technical issues but now I can update


"Peter she won't shut up" Carla cries as Peter sighs in response, this was becoming a daily occurrence with Carla being unable to settle Evie as her cries ring out around the room

"Is everything ok?" Cath questions poking her head around the door with a smile on her face Peter nodding for her to come in

"Carla just relax then she'll settle" Peter scolds gently as Carla bursts into tears Evie wailing louder, as Cath steps in to take Evie hushing her gently against her chest, leaving Peter to console Carla

"I can't be a mum Peter, I hate when she cries because it breaks me, I hate when I can't stop her crying. I can't do it!"

"Carla, listen to me ok?" Peter starts "You see Cath, she's holding your daughter, a part of me and a part of you, she needs her mum sweetheart, no matter what, she loves you I know when she cries it doesn't seem like it but right now all she wants you to do is love her"

"You look shattered Carla, why don't John and I take her for the rest of the night then you and Peter can have some sleep, we want to help" Cath suggests bouncing Evie up and down to settle her

"I can't sleep if she's not next to me!" Carla cries as Peter nods running a hand through his hair exasperatedly as Carla grips onto him

"Cath give me Evie a minute" Peter smiles as Cath hands her over Peter kissing his daughter on the head and guiding Carla over to the bed, propping pillows up against the headboard of the bed, Cath helping him out

"Right let's try what we did yesterday eh?" Peter questions as Carla nods, Peter sliding Evie into Carla's top making sure her head was supported "Give me your hand"

"She's so calm" Carla whispers, Peter placing her hand on Evie's head as Cath sits on the edge of the bed "Hey it's ok"

"You'll get there kid" Cath smiles kissing Carla's forehead as Evie gurgles "She's happy now, all she wanted was to feel close to her mum"

"It just feels so alien all of a sudden, like things are sinking in" Carla shrugs as Peter puts an arm around her shoulder Peter stroking Evie's wispy tufts of hair

"I know, we'll get there, this is your chance to have a break from being around Kate, Jenny, Michelle and the stuff with Rob, let's see how we go for the rest of the week yeah?"

"Ok" Carla whispers as Evie squirms around "I love you, baby girl"

"Come on let's get some sort of rest yeah?" Peter questions as Carla nods, Peter pulling the duvet up so they were warm enough, Cath leaving the room


The next morning felt very surreal, with both Carla and Peter waking up on the boat where Carla was growing Evie inside of her to having Evie waking up on her chest. Peter was pottering around the bedroom hanging clothes up in the wardrobe and folding Evie's clothes up to put them in the chest of drawers. Carla smiled when glancing to Peter doing domesticated things instead of her, then she glanced down to Evie who was looking at Peter directly causing Carla's heart to fill with warmth and happiness for the future.

"Hey, love" Peter smiles planting a kiss on her forehead then one on Evie's as she sneezes

"Oh dear" Carla whispers as Evie starts to cry, Peter sitting beside them both in case Carla started to get stressed "Are you hungry?"

"She probably is, love. She was sleeping peacefully after she woke last night" Peter whispers as Carla nods shuffling up against the headboard and pulling her top down allowing Evie to latch on and feed, Carla humming gently to her as she always does

"She's going for it" Peter observes as Carla chuckles slightly stroking Evie's cheek gently with the pad of her thumb

"Yeah" Carla states as Peter smiles slightly knowing not to push Carla right now so he just continues putting Evie's clothes away as there was a knock on the door

"Come in" Peter states as Evie pulls away to look at him causing Carla to laugh at her interest as Cath steps into the room

"We were wondering if you want a full English for brekkie?" Cath questions shuffling up the bed to sit with Carla who was feeding Evie still, Cath tickling one of her feet causing her to kick her legs

"I will if you stop teasing my daughter while she feeds" Carla smirks as Cath grins slightly "You have to be done now"

"Aww she's being a pig" Carla retorts as Carla hits her slightly holding Evie so she could wind her "Why don't you come up when you're ready?"

"Hmm yeah, we'll see you soon Cath" Peter smiles as Cath leaves the room "Come on then you, let's get you upstairs yeah?"

"Hmm chuck us me robe then" Carla smirks as Peter chucks her robe to her, Carla handing Evie to Peter so she could put it on

"Do you want to take her up?"

"Yeah…come here sweetheart" Carla whispers holding Evie close as both her and Peter head upstairs to join Cath and John

"Ah finally, knowing you two you probably got a session in before breakfast" Cath sniggers as Carla rolls her eyes shuffling along the couch with Evie in her arms

"Breakfast is served" John beams placing the plates down on the table as Carla shifts Evie so she was upright on her lap allowing her to look at everyone

"She's getting so big now" Peter whispers as Evie looks up at him reaching her arms out, Peter scooping her up and holding her in his arms

"Hmm soon she'll be needing 6-month clothes as she won't stop feeding, she's getting chubby" Carla pinches her cheeks gently as Evie squirms

"So then, we were thinking of taking a trip along the south coast for the rest of the week" Cath smiles as Carla nods shoving a bit of toast into her mouth as Evie starts to whimper on Peter's lap

"Yeah I mean…we're up for it, we just need to stockpile some stuff for Evie such as nappies and wipes but otherwise we should be good" Carla beams as Evie starts to cry, Carla rubbing her tummy gently to settle her

"Come on sweetheart settle down" Peter kisses her forehead as Evie babbles to herself

"That's fine take all of today if you need, there's a supermarket not far from here, just around the corner actually" Cath informs them as Carla nods scooping Evie up and holding her close as she had finished eating

"Oh baby, what's up then?" Carla coos kissing her forehead "Shall we get you changed into some clothes then?"

"I'll come with you" Peter smiles as Carla grins causing an eye roll from Cath, both of them heading down to the bottom deck to change Evie

"So then what is she going to wear?"

"Clothes, Peter"

"Well yes…but what clothes, her wardrobe is almost as extensive as her mother's"

"Is that an insult? I love the clothes I buy her and the clothes I wear, there's nothing wrong with having loads of clothes"

"Nope, it's just that I happen to like what's underneath your clothes, Carla"

"Oh really?" Carla whispers placing Evie in the co-sleeper, then wrapping her arms around his neck and peppering kisses all over his face "I happen to like what's underneath your clothes as well"

"Hmm" Peter hums planting soft kisses on her neck, sucking the skin on her neck causing her to moan, "I think Evie can wait for a bit don't you?"

"I guess so" Carla breaths out launching herself at Peter, her tongue in a passionate embrace with his as she sucks on his lips, Peter pulling at the tie on her robe as she moans into his lips, Peter moving his hands to her pyjama shorts and pulling them down do they were crumpled on the floor, then pulling at her tank top to get it over her head, Carla doing the same with his trousers and top, grinning in anticipation at his boxers

"Come here" Carla smirks suggestively pulling him onto the bed with her wanting to feel his entire weight on her body, his length pressing against her inner thigh as she moans moving her hand to massage him through his boxers, pulling at them to get them off his body

"I don't think so" Peter scolds pinning her wrists up above her head "Keep them there and don't test me" Peter glares undoing her bra and then taking her panties off trailing a finger along her thigh as it jerks eagerly in response, Carla grinding her hips against the bed sheets

"Hmm maybe we should blindfold you" Peter laughs grabbing one of her scarfs and wrapping it around her head to cover her eyes, Peter brushing his fingers lightly over her folds as she whimpers, Peter thrusting to fingers into her vagina as she moans in response arching her back

"Yes, baby!" Carla cries bucking her hips against his hand Carla moving her hand to Peter's hair running her fingers through it pushing his head down towards her centre, Peter running his tongue through her folds causing her to moan, his tongue nipping her clit causing her body to shudder "Oh god"

"Let go" Peter mumbles into her, his tongue swirling around inside of her causing her body to tremble, her orgasm taking hold as she released covering his face in her juices as she body comes down from its high

"Please Peter" Carla begs spreading her legs as wide as she could allowing Peter to push into her, holding her hands above her head as she rocks her hips against his, thrusting them up to meet his thrusts so she could feel him fully sheathed inside of her

"I can't hold off much longer" Peter grunts as Carla whimpers, her body begins to tremble as she arches her back again as she shudders, her juices lubricating the path for him to release, Peter, thrusting into her as tears fill Carla's eyes

"Stop" Carla whispers as Peter continues to thrust, caught up in the moment

"Peter stop, stop!" Carla cries pushing him off her frantically as Peter watches her curl up into a foetal position hugging her legs to her chest

"I've stopped, I've stopped" Peter raises his hands above his head as Carla blinks away the tears, Evie starting to stir in the co-sleeper

"Sorry" Carla whispers scooping Evie up and pulling a blanket with her, holding her daughter close to her chest breathing in the safe scent she radiated

"Don't apologise" Peter smiles pulling his boxers back on "Can I give you a hug?"

"Hmm that would be nice" Carla smiles glancing down to Evie and shuffling under the covers to keep warm, Peter sliding under as well being careful not to startle Carla

"Can I?" Peter asks gesturing to Carla that he wanted to give her a hug as she nods slowly biting her lip, cuddling into his side as she sighs

"Don't feel guilty" Peter whispers planting kisses into her hair as Evie stares up at them both, Peter stroking her cheek gently with the back of his finger

"I do, I always will, thank you for stopping though" Carla smiles planting a soft kiss on his lips

"I always will, you know that. How about we go and do some retail therapy? I'll carry your bags for you whilst you push Evie?"

"Really?" her eyes light up

"Of course. Why don't you get dressed then we can head off?"

"Alright, you can have a cuddle whilst I get ready," Carla says handing Evie to him as he places her on his chest for some skin to skin contact which immediately settled Evie allowing Carla to grab her clothes and get ready in the bathroom

"I think we need to get Mummy some help don't you?" Peter whispers to Evie "She's struggling a bit and I can't lose her, not now. We'll be ok princess, I promise you"
