Sorry this chapter is a little shorter than all the rest I wanted to get this out. But think of it more as a filler chapter. As always your reviews are really appreciated!
Carla and Peter were still a bit frosty. Carla was still distant with Peter but he was doing everything he could to make it up to her without making it seem like she was in the right because he was still hurt she didn't tell him about Tom.
"Can you take Haisley to nursery today?" Carla asked Peter.
"I could but I have an early meeting at work as it's my reintroduction since the attack" he told her "Besides we both need to go to the police station"
"It's ok I will go on my own" Carla told him casually, striding into the bathroom.
He followed her in "Carla, that is something we should do together as a couple"
Carla gave him a look "Peter, you want me to tell the police what I know, so let me do it my way"
"Carla, I want to support you through this"
"I think that ship has sailed" Carla said, leaving her bathroom.
Peter rolled his eyes and followed "Carla"
"It's fine Peter, we can talk later" Carla walked to the door "Bye Haisley, I will see you later"
"Carla, come on"
"No Peter" she turned to the door "I can do it alone" she then left and slammed the door.
"Are you and mummy arguing again?" Haisley asked, appearing in her bedroom door.
"No princess, of course not" Peter picked her up "Mummy and daddy just like to talk about things that's all"
"Ok" she looked at Peter was a strange face "adults are weird"
Peter chuckled "yes we are, now go get your bag"
After he walked Haisley to nursery, Peter made his way to work. He was happy to get back to work but still worried about Carla. He took out his phone and text Michelle. He wanted someone to go with her, even if it wasn't him.
Carla was in the factory, they had an order to get out and the amount of paperwork to go with it.
"That is about half of it done" Aiden joked, placing a pile of paper on the desk.
"Keep going, we can get this done today" Carla told him, not looking up from her computer screen.
Kate then appeared at the door "Aiden, Kirk wants you to check packing"
Carla looked at Kate knowing that she was just trying to get rid of him.
"Ok, i'll go right out" Aiden told her, leaving the office.
"I know what you are about to say and no not yet is the answer" Carla told her.
"You need to take a test Carla"
"Me and Peter are in such a hard place at the moment, If i am pregnant it will just make things worse"
"Or better"
Carla rolled her eyes.
"So what are you going to do, just ignore it"
"For now, yes" Carla answered. If she was honest she was pushing Peter away for multiple reasons but the biggest was the prospect of being pregnant.
Kate rolled her eyes at Carla. She couldn't believe the head in the sand approach she was taking.
"I need to go to the station today" Carla said, changing the subject.
"To tell them about Rob?"
Carla nodded.
"I know it is not easy Carla, but he has proved more then once that he isn't the little boy you practically raised" Kate said, placing her hand on her shoulder.
"I know, me and Peter had another heated discussion about it this morning" Carla started "he wanted to come with me but I told him he couldn't"
"Why Carla"
"Because he hates Rob, he won't understand if I am sad about it, then we will probably argue again"
"You need to give him more credit"
"You don't know Peter that well" Carla said, referring to his anger.
"I think you should talk to him, you are clearly no use here and Peter needs to be with you to support you"
"I second that" Michelle said walking through the door, hearing the last bit of the conversation.
"What are you doing here?" Carla asked.
"Peter text me and told me to go to the station with you because he knew you would need some support"
"See, does that sound like someone who doesn't understand you?" Kate said.
Carla shook her head "Ok, I will talk to him"
Kate smiled. She knew they had to do this together.
After a little more convincing Carla made her way home. She text Peter to meet her there. He spoke to his colleagues and got them to cover his meetings as he really wanted to sort things with Carla.
"Hello" he said, cautiously walking through the front door.
"Hello"
"I am glad you want to talk" Peter said, taking a seat on the sofa next to her.
"I want you to come with me to the police station"
"Really?" he asked.
"Yes, I know you want to support me but this happened to you, I need to support you"
"Carla" he said, taking her hand "I hate this"
"Me too"
"I will come with you so we can do this together, like a proper couple"
Carla smiled at him.
"I'm sorry" they both said at the same time.
Carla laughed, Peter smiled and for the first time in a few days the couple were happy to be in each other's company.
The couple looked at each other, their faces getting closer. Peter placed a kiss onto her lips.
Carla kissed him back, making the kiss more passionate. No words were exchanged but they both knew what the other was saying. Carla straddled Peter, intensifying their kiss. She ripped his shirt off of his back, throwing it across the room.
Peter moved his hands from her hair to her waist, moving them under her shirt to feel her bare skin on his. He pulled it over her head, leaving her in her bra. Carla rustled around trying to undo his belt.
She stood up so he could pull her skirt down her legs, crinkling it on the floor. Carla stood in just her underwear, waiting for Peter to ravish her. He wolf whistled after admiring his love.
Peter lifted his arse off of the sofa, allowing Carla to pull his jeans and boxers down to the floor, revealing his hard member. Carla licked her lips, she knelt down, in front of him, taking his member in her hand. She began stroking it, up and down getting faster and applying just the right amount of pressure. Peter moaned as she placed the end of his member into her mouth. She swirled her tongue around the end, giving it a little suck.
Continuing to pleasure Peter, she used all her tricks "Carla" he called "i'm close"
She smiled. Suddenly Peter released into her mouth. She swallowed as she looked him in the eyes. She then brought her hand up to her mouth, using a finger she wiped the corner of her mouth, sending Peter crazy "I need you now" he demanded.
He picked her up off of the floor and placed her on the sofa. He pulled her underwear off with one swoop. He circled her centre with his member, rubbing it against her walls as she moaned.
"Peter"
He suddenly slammed into her, gently at first. Peter began thrusting in and out of her, gaining a steady rhythm, Carla raised her hips. Both their bodies were moving at one, just the way they liked it.
Carla moaned loudly, encouraging Peter "Faster" she screamed, grabbing onto the end of the sofa above her head for support.
Simultaneously they both released. Peter fell onto Carla, hot and sweaty and panting from the crazy passionate love making.
"Well if we have to make up like that I might fight with you more often" Peter said, as the couple cuddle on the sofa.
Carla slapped his arm "I don't want to fight like that again, it was horrible"
"I know, I love you" Peter told her, kissing the top of her head.
"I love you too" she looked up at him and smiled.
"Shall we shower, then go to the police station?" Peter asked.
"That is a great idea" Carla said getting up. She took Peter's hand "come on then"
Peter grinned like the cheshire cat. He rushed behind her into the bathroom, slapping her bare arse. He picked her up leaving her to wrap her legs around his waist. Carla turned the shower on, letting the water run down their naked bodies as they reconnected again.
After their shower, they made their way to the station. Carla froze outside the doors.
"He is going to know it was me" Carla told him.
"He needs to be punished for what he did Carla" Peter told her, he took her hand and squeezed it tight "you can do this"
"I am so sorry he did this to you" she told him.
"Hey, this is not your fault, Rob is his own person" he placed his hand under her chin, lifting her head in the process.
"I know, but he only did this because we got back together"
"Carla, I would let him do that to me one hundred times over if it meant being back with you and Haisley" he rested his hand on her cheek. She nodded at him in response with a small smile.
"Come on let's do this" she said, taking his hand to lead him into the station.
Inside Carla and Peter had to wait to see DI Johnson. He was a very busy man with many open cases.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting" DI Johnson told them "What can I help you with"
"Well I know who is behind the attack on Peter"
DI Johnson placed a clean tape in the recorder and pressed record. He also retrieved his pen and notepad "ok when you are ready"
"The person in the video is Tom Chester, he is a friend of my brother, who is already in prison for murder"
"Go on" DI Johnson said.
Peter gave her hand a squeeze.
"I went to see my brother in prison, whilst I was there he told me that he ordered Tom to attack Peter, in fact he told him to kill Peter"
"Right, thank you very much" DI Johnson said "I will investigate this further but if this goes to court I will need you to give evidence"
The couple both nodded. They knew that this wasn't going to be nice for either of them. Carla didn't want to deal with all the court proceedings again and Peter didn't want to relive the attack but both knew that Rob had to be held accountable for what he did as well as Tom.
They completed some paperwork with the DI before leaving. After everything was finished and signed ready for evidence, the couple left to collect Haisley from nursery.
"Let's go on holiday" Carla suggested, as they walked hand in hand down the road.
"What?" Peter said, a little shocked.
"Yeah, we should go away just me you and Haisley before she starts school, it would be good for us"
Peter looked at her, she was deadly serious "Ok, that sounds like a fantastic idea"
"Great, glad that is settled, let's get our little girl, go home and pick our holiday" Carla told him, holding his hand the rest of the way.
