As this is chapter 30 it is slightly longer! I hope you like this chapter and I really love all the love you show this pic. I am obviously not a writer but my love for Carla and Peter and their story continue to inspire me to at least try. Please let me know what you think! Thank you!

Carla was over the moon that her baby was fine. She had Peter back and Haisley was settled.

Being pregnant again made Carla completely and utterly horny.

As soon as they took one step through their front door Carla pinned Peter up against the door.

"Again?" Peter smirked.

"I need you now" Carla told him. She kept him against the door, passionately kissing him. Her tongue searching his mouth for more. Her hand pressed against his chest keeping him in place.

Her hands found their way to his belt buckle. She smiled into her kiss as he slowly undone the buckle. Once undone, Carla's hands wrapped around Peter's neck. Peter's hand found it's way down to the bottom of her back, whilst the other held her hip in place.

Peter picked Carla up so she freely wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her through to the bedroom.

"Now Peter" Carla demanded. He smiled at her eagerness. There was clearly no time for foreplay.

Peter pulled off her jeans, leaving her in her underwear and t-shirt. Peter smirked at her and took off his own top and jeans. He stepped out of them and seductively took his boxers off.

Carla bit her lip at the sight of Peter's member, hard and ready.

Peter leaned over her, kissing her lips, her neck, and lifted her top off to kiss her breasts. Carla moaned into his kiss, arching her back off of the bed.

Peter moved his mouth from her breasts, leaving a trail of kisses along her stomach, hovering above her centre. He whipped her underwear off revealing her ever patient, wet centre ready to be taken.

Peter used his tongue to ease the tension she had been building whilst waiting. Carla moaned to his movement, feeling his passion through his tongue.

Peter took this as a sign that she was ready for him. He took himself in his hand, stroking his member up and down at the sight of his love in front of him.

"Peter, now" Carla demanded, not wanting to wait for him any more. Peter smiled, placing himself over her centre, he leant over to place a passionate kiss onto her lips. As he placed his tongue in her mouth he thrust his member into her.

Slow at first, building a steady rhythm between the two of them, Peter thrust his hips as Carla lifted her hips to position herself for the most pleasure.

"Harder, Peter harder" Carla pleaded. Peter listened to her instruction and began speeding up his thrusts with a little more power.

Carla wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into her, placing a kiss onto his mouth.

Peter then flipped onto his back leaving Carla to take control.

She placed her knees onto the bed to keep herself sturdy, as she placed one hand on his chest. She thrust her hips in rhythm with Peter.

"Yes, Carla" Peter shouted in pleasure.

As both continued in their steady rhythm, both were close to climax.

"Cum with me Carla" Peter said, only turning Carla on more.

After a couple more thrusts Peter let his cum shoot into Carla, finishing her off. Carla collapsed onto his chest.

"That was amazing" Peter smiled, kissing the top of her head.

"Just what I needed" Carla smiled.

"Any more of this and I think you will kill me" Peter said, referring to all the sex they were having. Carla was seriously horny since becoming pregnant. They were having more sex then before she was pregnant, which in itself was a lot.

"Are you seriously complaining?"

"No of course not, I can't get enough of you Carla Connor" Peter pulled her closer to him, squeezing her tight.

The couple just lay in bed taking in each other's naked company.

"I am sure I can see a little bump" Peter said, looking down at her stomach.

"Are you calling me fat?" she asked.

"No, of course not" Peter panicked.

Carla laughed "Calm down Peter, I am joking, I noticed it yesterday actually"

Peter placed his hand onto her stomach, leaving Carla smiling "I hope it's a boy" Peter said.

"I am happy with whatever" Carla said, placing her hand over Peter's.

"I am too, but I would like a boy" Peter admitted "Otherwise I will be outnumbered in my own house"

Carla smiled. She didn't want to get out of bed but they had to collect Haisley soon and they wanted to surprise her with their baby news.

Peter went to the shop to buy her a bike. They wanted Haisley to feel included and loved by her sibling so they bought her a present that was from the baby.

Carla on the other hand took out her laptop and ordered a t-shirt for Haisley. She wanted to tell the rest of the family in a cute and adorable way. She thought about putting her in a t-shirt saying I am going to be a big sister.

Carla text the group.

Carla: Can we get together on the weekend for a family lunch?

Johnny: Of course, how about I host in the Rovers?

Kate: Sure me and Rana are free.

Aiden: Me and Emma will bring Archie in for cuddles.

Carla: All sounds good to me x

Michelle: I will be there babe x

Johnny: Let's say tomorrow at 1

Peter got through the door with Haisley's new bike just in time to leave for the school run. They put a ribbon on it and a card next to it, which had a picture of the baby in it.

"I can't wait to tell her"

"Let's go get her then" Carla suggested.

At the school, Carla and Peter stood outside waiting for Haisley to appear.

"Mummy and daddy?" Haisley questioned "normally it's only one of you"

"I know baby but we both wanted to come and get you today" Carla told her, taking hold of her hand.

"Come on then, let's get home" Peter said, excited to tell Haisley, then he could openly talk about the new baby.

A little while later the family was home. Carla covered Haisley's eyes whilst Peter opened the door and led them in.

"What's going on?" Haisley asked, confused about all the fuss her parents were making.

"Ok, you can open your eyes now" Peter excitedly told her.

"A BIKE" Haisley shouted. She ran over to the bike and ran around it "is this for me?" she asked innocently.

"Of course it is"

"Who bought it for me?" she asked them.

"Well baby, we are glad you asked because there is a card there for you to read" Carla told her, pointing at the card.

Haisley took the card out and opened it to reveal the picture of the baby.

"What's this?" she asked.

"I will read the card" Peter told her, taking it off of her.

Dear Haisley,

You are going to be a big sister.

I hope you like the bike I bought you, I can't wait till I am older and we can ride it together. I will be along in May to give you lots of cuddles.

Love your little brother or sister xx

Haisley stood in silence for a while. It was an uncomfortable silence for Carla and Peter.

"Do you understand baby?" Carla asked her.

"I am going to be a big sister?" she questioned.

"Yes, mummy has a baby in her tummy" Peter said, placing his hand on Carla's stomach.

"No you don't" Haisley said with a big smile on her face, in disbelief, flashing her gaze from Carla to Peter and back again.

"Yes I do"

"Are you sure?" she asked with an even bigger smile on her face.

"Yes baby, I am sure, that is a picture of your baby brother or sister" Carla told her, pointing to the scan photo.

"Yay" Haisley said, jumping up and down "i'm so excited"

Carla and Peter took a big breath out. They were so relieved that she was ok with it, for a minute there they thought she might not be.

Haisley walked over to Carla and placed her hands on her stomach "hello baby" she said to her stomach.

Carla let out a tear, she was so glad that Haisley was ok with it. She knew there would be challenges along the way introducing Haisley to her sibling and changing everything but for now she was happy Haisley was happy.

That night Carla was putting Haisley to bed, she was quiet "Are you ok baby?" Carla asked her.

"Yes mummy, I am just thinking"

"What may I ask are you thinking about"

"Is daddy going to leave when the baby is here?" she asked her shocked mum.

"No baby, of course not"

"But he wasn't there when I was a baby"

"Daddy is not going anywhere Haisley, I promise you that" Carla kissed her daughter's head. She was upset that she thought like that but she knew Peter would be devastated by what she just said.

Once Haisley was asleep Carla approached Peter with what Haisley just said.

"I can't believe her little head thinks like that" Peter said with a sad face. He placed his hands over his face "I was such a failure of a father to her"

"Peter one day we can explain to her why you weren't there, without too much detail but for now she just needs reassuring"

"Carla, I never want her to know what I did to you both" Peter admitted.

"I know that, but we will have to tell her something if she asks when she's older" Carla told him, taking his hand "but we can deal with that when we get there, for now we can focus on moving and someone's fifth birthday"

"Yeah you're right" Peter nodded "I can't believe she's going to be five"

"I know"

"Carla, we do need to talk about something that has been bothering me" Peter started, moving a piece of her hair out of her face, tucking it behind his ear.

"What is that?" Carla asked.

"Haisley's last name" Peter said.

"Ah, I thought we would get to this at some point"

"Well I would hope that the baby can have my last name and I didn't want Haisley to feel singled out with a name that isn't mine, I don't want her to think the baby gets something that she doesn't"

Carla nodded.

"I just don't want her to feel like she's different or I don't love her as much"

Carla was silent for a minute.

"Carla, say something"

"I think we should change her name" Carla replied "she should have had your name in the first place, she is your daughter"

"I understand why she didn't"

"We can sort that nearer the time of the birth, I am sure she will be overjoyed" Carla told him.

"Thanks" Peter said, placing a kiss on her cheek.

"Is that all I get?" Carla licked her lips.

"You only have one thing on your mind" Peter smirked, placing a kiss on her lips.

"It's the hormones, take me to bed" Carla called, leaving Peter to pick her up and take her to the bedroom.

The next day was the day Carla told her family about the baby. Haisley's t-shirt had arrived and she was all too happy to put it on.

"Good morning baby" Haisley said into Carla's stomach.

Carla kissed her daughter's head, she couldn't get over the cuteness. Peter was all dressed and ready. He was wearing his white polo shirt with his green coat over the top.

"I can tell my girls are not going to be ready any time soon"

"Excuse me Mr" Carla said, snaking her arms around his neck "It's your fault I slept in, I was so tired after last night"

Peter placed a kiss onto her lips.

"EW" Haisley said, dramatically sticking her tongue out.

"Ok, I will do your breakfast whilst mummy gets ready"

Peter slapped her bum as she walked off in the direction of the bedroom.

"Daddy" Haisley scolded.

Peter laughed "ok princess, what can I make you for breakfast?"

In the bedroom Carla was picking an outfit. She wanted something nice to mark the occasion but she also wanted something that might show off a hint of a bump.

She placed on a black bodysuit with her denim jeans. She turned to the side, rubbing her hand over her stomach. There was a tiny bump but you could only see it if you knew it was there or if you looked really hard.

Peter entered the bedroom catching Carla admiring her bump in the mirror "you look amazing"

"Thanks, I am just testing to see if I can see a bump"

"I think there is a small one there" Peter said, placing both hands on her stomach from behind, resting his head on her shoulder.

"I am really happy you know" Carla told him.

"I know, me too" he kissed the side of her head.

A little while later everyone was at the Rovers. Johnny had blocked off half the pub so they could all sit together.

Haisley kept her jacket on because Carla had told her too until she gave the signal.

"How is little Archie doing?" Carla asked, taking her seat next to Aiden.

"He is fantastic" Aiden said, handing him over to her for a cuddle. Peter smiled at the sight of Carla and a baby.

Peter hadn't actually seen Carla with a baby. He used to sit and think about how she would look like with a little Haisley.

"What are we gathered for Carla?" Johnny asked.

"Can't a girl just want to spend time with all her family?" Carla joked.

"No she can't, I'm sure she has something to tell us" Kate said, knowing full well the reason. She wanted her to get on with it so she could enjoy the moment with her sister.

"Ok, Haisley, go to your grandad and give him his card" Carla said, giving Aiden back Archie.

Haisley nodded, handing Johnny his card. Once he opened it, Haisley took off her jacket as that was the sign.

Johnny looked at the card then at Haisley. He read her t-shirt. 'I am going to be a big sister'

"No way" Johnny shouted.

"Mhmm, open the card" Carla told him.

In the card was the scan photo.

"That's for you to keep grandad" Carla told him.

"You're pregnant?" he asked.

"Yes" Carla answered.

"Congratulations sis" Aiden said, giving her a hug.

Johnny rushed over to her "congratulations" he said.

"I am twelve weeks along" Carla began "It's been so hard keeping it from you but I wanted to be sure before I told Haisley or you" she told Johnny.

Aiden shook Peter's hand.

"Our babies will be seven months apart, a perfect age to grow up together" Emma said to her.

"Yes, they will be so close" Carla replied, excited for the future.

"This is now a celebration" Johnny shouted in glee "Jenny get the bubbles, but not for Carla and Peter, she has my grandchild to grow" he pulled her in for another hug.

Once she was free from Johnny, Kate grabbed her "let's have a look then" she took a scan photo off of her.

"Me too" Michelle called, taking the photo off of Kate.

"Let's have a look at you then" Kate said "turn to the side" Carla did as she was told, leaving Kate and Michelle to inspect her stomach.

"There's a little one there" Michelle pointed out.

"Are you calling me fat?"

"No of course not" Michelle answered.

So all the Connors were over the moon with the new soon to be arrival. It was now the Barlow's turn.

"Carla, we have to go" Peter reminded her.

"We will be back, we just have to go tell the Barlow's" Carla told her family "come on Haisley we need to show them your t-shirt"

Haisley nodded. She shrut out of the door and into number one.

"Grandad Ken, I need to show you something" she said confidently.

"What is it Haisley?" he asked.

She opened her jacket in a dramatic style, giving Ken a chance to read the writing.

"Is that true?" Ken looked up at Peter in excitement.

Peter nodded, handing Ken a scan photo to look at.

Tracey looked up from her magazine "congrats bro"

"Thanks Trace" Peter replied.

"Congratulations to the three of you" Ken said, giving Haisley a hug and Peter "does Simon know?"

"No not yet, we are on the way to tell him" Carla told Ken "so we can't stay long"

"Ok, I am so happy for you" Ken said "I hope you have learnt from past mistakes"

Peter grumbled "Why do you bring that up dad? And in front of Carla and Haisley"

"I am just saying, this time should be different" Ken said.

Carla wrapped her arm around Peter's arm, holding his hand to keep him calm.

"Dad, everything is going to be fine" Peter replied "I resent the thought that it wouldn't be"

"I am your father, I am the only one that can say something like that"

Peter nodded.

"Can we go and see Simon now?" Haisley asked "I want to show him my t-shirt" Haisley loved all the attention.

A few minutes later, the family were on route to Simon. He had told them he would be home alone so they knew this was the perfect opportunity.

"Hello guys" Simon said "come in"

Carla followed Peter in still holding his hand. "Simon we have something to tell you"

"Can I do it?" Haisley begged.

Carla nodded.

"WE are going to be big brother and sister" Haisley told him, opening her jacket.

"Wow" Simon said, a little shocked.

Peter handed his son a scan photo "due in may"

"This is big news" Simon said, slowly.

"It is, how do you feel?" Peter asked, a little worried that Simon was quiet.

"No, it's good news" Simon replied.

"But?" Peter asked, knowing full well that Simon was not overjoyed.

"I just hope everything will be ok"

"Simon, your dad is a changed man now, the same thing will not happen again" Carla said, placing a comforting arm on Simon's shoulder.

"Is it because we didn't get Simon a T-shirt?" Haisley innocently asked.

"No baby it's not" Carla told her.

Haisley was confused as to why Ken and Simon were not as happy as the rest of her family but her being the four year old that she was shrugged it off.

"Come on, let's get back to the pub" Peter said, disappointed at his family's reaction.

"I will pop over this week for dinner" Simon told them.

"That would be lovely Si" Carla smiled at him then followed Peter out of the door.

Whilst walking back to the Rovers Peter was silent. When they got into the Rovers Carla asked if Aiden could watch Haisley.

Carla followed Peter out into the garden.

"Talk to me" she said to him, taking a seat on the bench next to him.

"I can't believe the reaction my dad and Simon had"

"Peter…" Carla started but he interrupted them.

"I know the past was horrible but they must know that it wouldn't happen now, I was a mess back then"

"I guess Ken is like that because he has to be and Simon is just worried, we put him through so much when he was younger, he is bound to be a bit worried"

Peter nodded "your family were just so happy for us and mine didn't give me the reaction I was hoping for"

"Peter, the only reaction we need to worry about it Haisley's"

"No I need to worry about Simon"

"You mean we?"

"Well you don't seem to be bothered by Simon's reaction"

"How can you say that to me?" Carla stood in shock.

"Haisley is your child so you worry about her but Simon…"

"I am going to go inside before you say something you can't take back, I know you are disappointed but do not take it out on me" Carla stormed back into the bar.

He knew she was right but he was so disappointed and he was the king of sulking when things don't go his way.

Carla stormed into the Rovers back to the Connor party.

"Everything ok?" Kate asked, noticing Carla's demeanor.

"I can't talk right now, little ears" Carla pointed to Haisley "but yes we are fine"

"Clearly not" Kate rolled her eyes "how did the Barlows take it?"

"Ok"

"Right, what is wrong with you?" Michelle asked, noticing a sulky Carla.

"Peter and me just had a bit of a to do"

"Why?"

"Long story short, Ken and Simon warned him not to make the same mistakes"

Kate and Michelle looked at each other and then back at Carla.

"But he is not going to ruin this day for us" Carla started "come on, let's toast"

Peter entered the bar to everyone gathered, Carla was making a speech.

"Thank you everyone for being here to celebrate with us, we couldn't be happier with the news and are very much looking forward to the future"

Ken and Simon walked in and began listening to Carla who had spotted them.

"Although things haven't been easy in the past, these mistakes do not define our futures. People change and evolve and repeating major events does not mean the repeat of past mistakes"

She smiled at Peter, inviting him back over to join her.

"So can we raise a glass to the new Barlow edition" Carla said, placing her hand on her stomach.

Toyah and Leanne entered just as Carla finished her speech.

"No way" Toyah said in shock, turning green. She was still hoping to get back with Peter but he was never going to leave Carla whilst she was pregnant. Although he cheated the last time she was pregnant so maybe he would with her? She thought.

"To the new Barlow edition" the whole bar cheers.

Peter smiled, no matter what everyone else thought Carla and Peter were over the moon with their news and that was all that mattered to Peter.
