Thank you for the reviews. I'm glad you're enjoying it still and there is plenty more to come.
Saturday came and Carla actually managed to think of a plan. Gail was going to have Emma for the whole day so Carla and Hayley could have some girly time as well as Peter spending some time with Simon along with a shift at the bookies knowing he had neglected the place and his staff for a while. Carla and Peter were waking up in bed together whilst they stare at the baby monitor which was monitoring Hayley and Emma's room which they shared together until either one of the girls woke up.
"Stop it," Carla hisses nudging Peter away as he tenderly kisses her neck "The girls will be awake any moment"
"Lock the door then" Peter mutters gliding his hand up and down Carla's thigh causing her to pluck his hand off it "Please, baby"
"No, Peter" Carla glares as Peter brings her into his body "You're not going to give up are you?"
"No because you're…beautiful…sexy…" he says between kisses, that was until Emma started to cry causing Carla to jump out of bed to tease him further as well as collect her daughter
"Morning girls" Carla smiles pulling the curtains open as Hayley groans in response pulling the duvet up and over her face "Go and see your dad, Hayley. He'll make you your breakfast"
"I thought you were going to make it" Haylye pouts her lips sulkily as Carla sighs in response nodding knowing this was meant to be their day together "Please"
"Ok, fine. Let me just get your dad to deal with Emma then I can make you your breakfast" Carla smiles taking Emma in to see Peter who was in the process of getting ready for the day
"Hi, love" Peter smiles as Carla grins "And good morning to you Emma"
"Speaking of mornings, Hayley wants me to make her breakfast as it's our day today, so I don't suppose you could deal with Emma for me?" Carla asks sheepishly as Peter smiles taking Emma off her
"Of course, I'll change her and then get her breakfast" Peter smiles pecking Carla on the lips before she saunters off to see Hayley again who was picking some clothes out to wear today
"Right, let's have breakfast?" Carla questions taking Hayley's hand as she giggles, both of them heading downstairs, Hayley sitting at the kitchen table whilst Carla potters around in the kitchen "What do you want for breakfast?"
"Pancake mix?" Hayley questions cheekily revelling in her mother's attention "Please"
"Good girl" Carla grins as she gets the bottle of pancake mix and attempts to make pancakes; she was getting better at it recently but there were bound to be a few pancakes as casualties "Do you want to help me flip them?"
"Oh yes please" Hayley beams as Carla smiles at her daughter bending down to her level and allowing her to help flip the pancake; it was a success "Yay!"
"Good now we just need to wait for this side to cook and then everything will be all good" Carla smiles as Peter appears with Emma on his hip who was whimpering to herself "Bad morning?"
"Tell me about it, she wouldn't let me change her then when I did it was tears galore" Peter grins as Carla rolls her eyes "You're making pancakes?"
"Don't look too shocked" Carla mutters sliding a pancake onto a plate and handing it to Hayley "Do you want some banana and some strawberries?"
"Ok" Hayley smiles as Carla grins going into the fridge and getting the strawberries "Can I have another one?"
"Um" Carla falters, she really didn't know if she could make another one and do it right "Ok"
"Make me one as well" Peter smirks towards Hayley who grins in response Carla shooting him a look knowing he was doing it on purpose
"I'll make everyone one" Carla rolls her eyes squeezing pancake mix onto the pan and cooking a pancake her concentration skyrocketing making sure she does it right; she flips the pancake and catches it in the pan "I did it!"
"Well done" Peter nods very proud of Carla knowing she wasn't a domestic goddess, Peter watching as she slides the pancake onto a plate and places it in front of Peter
"Ma!" Emma shouts reaching for the pancake as Peter cuts her off a section and lets her eat it as Carla smile at her family before returning to make a couple more pancakes, the fire alarm going off in response; Carla burnt the pancakes
"Now look what you've done" Peter mutters as Carla pouts her lips watching as he resets it "Maybe I should do it?"
"I can cook a pancake"
"Yeah I know you can cook a pancake you just can't cook more than three" Peter retorts as Carla hugs him "Go and sit with the kids"
"Fine" she laments going to sit at the table in a strop causing Hayley to snigger "Oh what's so funny?"
"Daddy's being mean" Hayley replies as Carla nods defeatedly "Can I tell you a secret mummy?"
"Oh, please do…is it about daddy?" Carla questions eagerly as Hayley giggles in response ready to reveal the incident with the hairdryer
"It is" Hayley grins looking at Peter who was narrowing his eyes suspiciously at the conversation as Hayley leans in towards Carla's ear "Daddy used your hairdryer"
"What!" Carla shrieks as Hayley giggles again "He did what?!"
"You heard me mummy" Hayley smiles evilly as Carla shakes her head and crosses her arms across her chest "It's always good to be honest"
"Yeah?" Carla questions as Hayley nods as if it was obvious "Peter!"
"Yes, love?" Peter smiles sweetly placing a couple of pancakes onto plates and placing them down on the table
"I think you have some explaining to do!" Carla exclaims as Emma laughs at her as well as Hayley knowing she just caused friction between her parents
"Do I?" Peter questions sitting down at the table as Carla scoffs in complete annoyance
"Yes. You do. Hayley said you used my hairdryer?" Carla questions with annoyance laced in her tone as Peter bites his lip as well as shooting a look to Hayley
"Hayley!" Peter scolds "You said you wouldn't tell her""
"So it's true then?"
"Well yes, but it was only because I couldn't find the cheap one"
"More like you didn't look hard enough" Carla exclaims rolling her eyes as Hayley laughs hysterically "I'll have to start hiding it, that cost almost a hundred quid that hairdryer"
"Alright! I won't use it again. Hurry up and eat because we need to get Emma off to Gail's by ten and I need to drop Si off at footie by eleven"
A few hours later Carla dropped Emma off at Gail's with all of her stuff which she might need during the day as well as some leaflets if Gail wanted to do some of her therapy with her. With Peter out of the way at the bookies this left Hayley and Carla to go into town and spend some time together just the two of them.
"So what do you want to do?" Carla questions bending down to her daughter's level as she hums in response
"Shopping!" Hayley beams as Carla rolls her eyes, she was so much like Carla in many ways "Please"
"Ok then, we'll go shopping" Carla chuckles as they walk into the Trafford centre coming across Next "Come on then poppet," she says taking Hayley's hand as they walk into Next
"Oh!" Hayley beams, her eyes lighting up at the dresses which were in the children's section causing Carla to roll her eyes knowing she had many dresses "Please mummy!"
"Ok, just one and we cant tell daddy otherwise he will tell me off for spoiling you"
"Well I think I deserve it" Hayley grins as Carla shakes her head at her daughter's attitude knowing she seemed really bratty
"Hayley" Carla scolds as she smiles sweetly letting Carla rummage through the dresses and picking the correct size out "Come here"
"Ok" Hayley smiles allowing Carla to hold the dress up against her body
"Yeah that'll do" Carla smiles placing it in the basket as Hayley grins grabbing her arm and running over to the ladies section
"Your turn" Hayley grins as Carla raises an eyebrow "You need to pick a dress mummy," she says as if it was obvious "It's only fair"
"Fine, daddy is going to be really angry though" Carla reminds Hayley who just shrugs in response knowing it could be used as revenge
"Revenge for the hairdryer" she reminds her mother causing Carla chuckles in response knowing she was right "It has to be pink though"
"I don't like pink though, baby," Carla says as Hayley huffs in annoyance "How about red, I can do red?"
"Fine" she mutters as Carla smiles looking through the rack of dresses and picking out a red tight-fitting dress with red lace covering on the long sleeves and a v-neck "That's pretty!"
"Yeah I like it too" Carla smiles heading over to the mirror and holding the dress up against her body, "I think I'll get this one you know"
"I like it!" Hayley beams as Carla places the dress in her basket as they both walk towards the checkout
"Come on, let's go and pay then we can get some ice cream" Carla smiles as Hayley nods in agreement
Carla and Hayley drove to the ice cream place and sat in the far corner away from prying eyes. Cala was enjoying this time with her daughter and wished that they could do more stuff like this but with Emma needing her as well as the factory times like this were rare, maybe it was time to let Aidan take a more managerial role instead of being a glorified PA.
"Do you like coming out with mummy Hayley?" Carla questions swirling her chocolate and mint ice cream around her bowl as Hayley finishes the mouthful of her strawberry ice cream
"Yes, I love it!" Hayley beams with a giggle as Carla smiles at her daughter "Are you going to tell daddy off?"
"Ey?" Carla questions as Hayley rolls her eyes
"For the hairdryer?" Hayley reminds her as Carla smirks in response at the filthy brainwaves going through her mind
"Trust me, I am thinking of a suitable punishment as we speak, baby" Carla laughs internally panicking because her punishment was not for little girl's ears; she just hoped Hayley wouldn't ask but she did,
"What is it?" Hayley questions eagerly wanting to help in any way she could with the revenge
"Um" Carla falters "Well" she pauses trying to think of a suitable punishment off the top of her head "I'm going to…sleep on the sofa tonight"
"What?!" Hayley shrieks "Share my bed, we could have a sleepover!"
"Ohh that's a point" Carla beams as Hayley grins in response "Good thinking baby" she whispers as Hayley grins "I have something to ask you"
"Really?" Hayley frowns in response as Carla smiles
"I was thinking about how this was really nice and maybe we could have a girly day once a week, maybe on a Friday? I could send you to nursery for four days a week then we could do something just us two on Fridays?"
"Really!" Hayley's eyes light up as Carla nods "You're not joking?"
"Well I would need to speak to daddy, and Gail, as well as Uncle Aidan but I reckon they would be happy to support it" Carla smiles scooping some ice cream onto her spoon as Hayley jumps up and out of her seat to hug Carla
"Thank you, mummy!" Hayley beams as Carla chuckles in response "Please talk to them!"
"I will, we should think about getting back now though" Carla responds as Hayley nods picking up her plastic bag which contained her dress, Carla doing the same with hers as well as they leave the ice cream parlour and head home…
Carla and Hayley returned home and watched a movie, Gail dropped Emma off halfway through the movie but all three girls cuddled on the sofa and continued to watch the movie which Carla had put on until Peter returned home from work and on his return, he also joined them for the last fifteen minutes of the movie as well, all of them cuddling with each other whilst their eyes fixated on the TV.
"So then how melted is your credit card?" Peter whispers as Carla smirks towards Hayley enjoying the memories flying around her mind at the shopping trip they had
"It's still alive" Carla nods as Peter narrows his eyes "Just about"
"What did you buy?" Peter questions as Carla chuckles in response "Something sexy I hope" he whispers as Carla smiles in response raising an eyebrow
"It's red" Carla whispers as Peter hums "It's lacey," she says quietly causing Peter's mind to conjure up all sorts of things in his head "It's very short and sexy"
"How about you model it for me later?" Peter says kissing her gently on the neck unbeknownst to the children as Carla cranes her neck away from him to look at him directly in the eyes
"Cant" Carla says as she glances to Hayley who just fell asleep beside her "I'm having a sleepover with Hayley"
"What?" Peter exclaims as Carla shrugs in response grinning at him knowing the thought of her not being in the same bed as him would cause some annoyance "Where are you going to sleep?"
"Oh, yeah I forgot to tell you" Carla chuckles in response as Peter narrows his eyes "You're in Hayley's bed tonight"
"What!" Peter groans in response "Seriously?"
"Well, that's what I said yes, think of it as punishment for using my hairdryer" Carla reminds him as Peter rolls his eyes sulkily in response causing Carla to laugh in response
"Great, no action for me tonight" Peter mutters in annoyance as Carla grins in response, she was enjoying this prolonged game of teasing Peter
"Sorry our daughter comes first" Carla retorts as Hayley wakes up "Come on then poppet, let's have our sleepover"
"Yay!" Hayley beams before sticking her tongue out at Peter, Carla doing the same as both girls walk upstairs leaving Peter with Emma as well as wanting to get Carla alone…
