Oh my god, I just realised I did an unintentional coronavirus mention except it not in China...I apologise


Akita Japan

After travelling miles, they finally arrived in Japan, neither Carla nor Peter had been here before and it was very romantic. They were indulging in each other's company and they were loving this new environment. They had been to see many artefacts such as temples and Japanese buildings which had unfamiliar architecture. They were in love with this place almost as much as they were in love with each other; they would definitely be visiting again.

Of course, something bad to happen, Peter thought it was just lucky that nothing had happened so far. Avery and Willow ere doing fine as well as Simon but Carla, she seemed to have come down with some sort of mystery bug which worried him immensely. It just worried him as Carla never really got ill at all.

"Oh love" Peter response hearing a throaty groan "Can I do anything?"

"Water?" she replies as Peter nods heading upstairs to collect her a glass of water and returning it to her "Ta"

"How do you feel?" Peter whispers bending down in front of her as she forces her eyes open "Oh baby" he responds seeing the tears fill them

"Sick, nauseous, achy" she replies as Peter nods slowly "I just want to sleep"

"Alright I'll stop pecking your head and let you get some rest, I'll take the girls out to give you a break"

"Thanks" she whispers as Peter plants a kiss on her forehead before leaving her to it


Peter went to the shops and took the girls with him. He brought some more non-perishable stuff such as pasta and canned food knowing they would need to stock up before they moved along in their journey. He was also buying things like toilet roll and shampoo for him and for the girls knowing they were running low. He was wondering through the medication aisle and that was when he came across a pregnancy test he then remembered Carla's symptoms and he wondered whether she could be pregnant, Willow had practically weaned and they weren't using anything to prevent it again and it worried him because he did not want another baby and he was sure Carla didn't either. He put it in the cart.

After paying for his stuff he took the girls home and unpacked everything leaving Carla's bits in the bag for later. He then left Avery watching a movie upstairs whilst he placed Willow in the cot for her nap, Carla was gone from the bed so he started to panic. He pushed the en-suite door open and there she was, slumped against the side of the bath shivering slightly probably having been sick a few times. He flushed the toilet and lifted her into his arms and carried her to bed and in the process waking her up.

"Sorry, you can go back to sleep" Peter whispers brushing his fingers through her hair as she grumbles before sitting up against the headboard

"No I'm ok" she responds as Peter nods "Sorry I was sick a few times"

"It's ok" Peter response gently as Carla smiles "I know you're probably going to bite my head off for asking you this but...could you be pregnant?"

"What?" Carla scoffs "No, I'm not"

"Look, baby," he pauses taking in her annoyed expression "We haven't been using anything and Willow's fully weaned now I just think you should take a test, I brought you one from the shop"

"No, Peter" Carla states agitatedly "I don't want another baby"

"Neither do I" Peter laughs slightly "But the sooner we find out for certain then the sooner we can deal with it if you are?"

"But if I am, I can't get rid of it, Peter...I don't know I'm scared now" she cries as Peter brings her in for a hug to hold her close "I'm so scared"

"I know you are, your hearts racing sweetheart" Peter replies gently as Carla hums "Look, I'm just going to get Si to watch Avery then we can do the test ok? I'll be there every step of the way"

"Ok, I can do this"

"You can" he smiles kissing her on her forehead "Be back soon"


Peter got Simon to watch Avery and then took Carla's bag downstairs where she was waiting anxiously. She wasn't happy and Peter could tell, he just hoped him being there for her would cause her to open up about how she was feeling. He took the test out of the box and handed it to her; her hands shaky in return. Peter could tell she was scared and he reassures her that it was ok for her to feel like that as he felt the same way. He offered to go in the bathroom with her but she thought it would be a bit creepy causing him to chuckle she then left the test on the sink whilst she rejoined Peter in the bedroom.

"We can look at when you're ready ok? No pressure" Peter replies letting her cuddle him as she sighs

"What if I am?" Carla whispers as Peter hums gently "Will we do this again?"

"I don't know" he replies honestly as Carla looks up at him to see if he was being sincere "I really don't know"

"We should've been more careful" she replies as Peter nods slowly "I don't know if I can do this again, Peter"

"I know it's a big strain" Peter responds gently as Carla nods "We could go home if you are eh? That way we'd have the support from everyone?"

"Yeah I guess" she mumbles kissing his chest "I just don't know if I can go through another two years of two babies hanging off me y'know. Willow's almost two sometimes she needs me like she's a baby still, yes she's walking about and saying things but the strain of having Avery and Willow...I don't know it doesn't appeal to me. Three kids Peter, that's scary it makes me want to be a nun"

"Well I don't think that's going to happen" Peter nudges her as she smirks "You'd miss me too much in that department"

"Ugh! We should have been more careful!" she groans in annoyance as Peter sighs knowing she was beginning to work herself up about the whole thing when she may not even be pregnant

"We should look at the test sweetheart" Peter responds gently as Carla bites her lip, the tears threatening to fall "Oh darlin' you don't need to cry"

"I do because this is a mess if we'd use something, anything then...then I wouldn't be in this position!" she shouts as Peter nods letting her cry into his chest "This is a disaster"

"It might not be though sweetheart" Peter responds as Carla nods knowing he was right there was only one way they were going to find out and that was to look at the test

"Ok, I can do this" she nods sliding out of bed and padding to the bathroom, Peter behind her placing his hands on her hips "Whatever happens...you won't leave me will you?"

"No, I promise, I love you" Peter replies as Carla nods picking up the test before bringing a hand to her mouth and collapsing onto the floor in a fit of tears "It's positive isn't it?"

"Yes" she cries as Peter hums holding her, the both of them on the floor now as Carla cries into his chest "I hate you and your sperm"

"Woah!" Peter exclaims as Carla pouts her lips sulkily "I blame your eggs for being fertile"

"Why do we have sex so much?" she asks as Peter chuckles at her question "Seriously we need to cut down if we keep repopulating the earth life this"

"Enough of the remarks" Peter presses a finger to her lips "What do you want to do?"

"I can't get rid of it, it's a life Peter...i cant do that" she responds "That's like putting Willow back in the womb then killing her using an abortion pill"

"That's a bit morbid" Peter grimaces as Carla glares at him "But I understand where you're coming from entirely"

"Sorry I shouldn't be so aggressive" she whispers as Peter smiles at her "We need to think of a plan don't we?"

"We do" she responds "Ugh why does this always have to happen?"

"I don't know love, maybe it's fate" he responds as Carla pulls a face

"You're weird you are" she responds picking up the test and handing it to him causing him to sigh "Can we just not talk about it for the rest of the day? I just need to come to terms with it in my own head before we start thinking about what to do"

"That's fine" he responds "You're in control, this is your body and you can do whatever you want, if you decide you want a termination I will be there for you no matter what and if you want to keep I'll be there by your side"

"Thank you" she holds his face in her hands and kisses him "Thank you so much"

"My pleasure, come on then, let's get you back to bed" he responds lifting her into his arms and placing her in bed as well as pulling the covers over her "Get some sleep"

"I will" she replies snuggling down into the comfort of the bed, Peter watching her as she settles down into a nice relaxed sleep before leaving the room and clicking the door shut; he pulls out the positive pregnancy test and sighs, how did they end up like this when things were going so well, all he could do was be there to support his wife
