This is going to be a three-part ending...
Weatherfield: Part 1
The flight was tedious with two toddlers. Carla was pulling her hair out trying to entertain them both. Simon was there to help but it was a dreaded experience which was one Carla did not want to relive any time soon and when they finally touched down on home turf she couldn't be happier. Carla rang Michelle who agreed she could come and collect them all, she didn't tell her about the pregnancy of course but Michelle had a sneaky suspicion knowing that it was unlike Carla to return from her holidays but she didn't hound her not when the girls were there. Michelle and Simon helped her with the cases and Carla informed them that Peter would be home soon having needed to get the boat transported back to the UK.
"Come on then why are you really back early?"
"Well," Carla sighs as Michelle narrows her eyes "Avery was really homesick, it was really bad Michelle, she misses her family and I hated her feeling the way she did and I wanted to make her feel better. She seems much happier now she's back though"
"She does" Michelle observes not really knowing if she was telling the truth "For a moment I thought you might be preggers"
"As if, twos enough" Carla scoffs as Michelle smiles "Anyway hows the house been keeping?"
"Um, ok I guess nothing really major happened" she shrugs as Carla nods "I bet you're glad to be back though"
"Of course I am" she smiles as Michelle grins "I get to see you every day and that makes it better although the weather here is bad you can brighten my day, Michelle"
"Ok enough of that" Michelle laughs as Carla smiles "So you'd be up for going for a drink at the Rovers?"
"I would but I need to spend some time with Avery and Willow" Carla replies knowing that if she was to go for a drink then Michelle would be very suspicious "I need to get them used to the house especially Willow"
"Oh alright then" Michelle replies with a pout of her lips "Maybe another time eh?"
"Yeah I need to do Avery's school application as well it's just...I need to do things before Peter comes back so he doesn't get stressed out as well as giving him a well-deserved break"
"Yeah I guess that's fair" Michelle smiles "I'll tell you what, I'm going to go and pack and I'll even change all the sheets for you so you don't have to move a muscle?"
"Oh you don't have to" Carla frets as Michelle rolls her eyes "I can do it I need to give the girls a bath anyway and put them to bed even though they won't sleep because of jet lag"
"That's true...I'll just go and pack and get out of your hair ey?"
"You can stay it's just that I won't be much company I might just sleep as well as I'm shattered from all the travelling"
"Ok well, like I said I'll leave you to it" Michelle smiles, her mind still wondering whether Carla was telling the truth as she was being very shifty...
After bathing the girls and putting them to bed, Carla climbed into bed herself and laid flat on her back staring at the ceiling. She placed a hand gingerly on her tummy, in all honesty, she hadn't had much time to think about the baby which was growing inside of her all she knew is that she wanted it now and that she would have another child. The ran her hand over the small protruding bump which was visible and smiled at the simplicity. Never in a million years, she thought she would be a mum to three children, four if you counted the baby she lost and in a way, she couldn't wait for that adventure no matter how scary it seemed to her. The phone rang and Carla knew it would be Peter so she answered.
Peter explained that he would be getting someone to transport the boat over next week and that he left it with them to do it. He also said he would prefer to stay out in LA if it was ok with her in case things went wrong with the company. Carla agreed to know that the bost cost a lot and they would decide what they would want to do with it when they got back. He ended the call telling Carla to get some sleep and rest knowing she needed to keep herself calm and relaxed for the baby.
She eventually fell into a peaceful slumber, left dreaming about her future with her unborn child, her husband and their daughters...
