He watched as the hair whipped around her face the wide smile plastered over her features as she takes in Ivy's appearance in the pram that she was pushing along the pavement, his eyes watched over her from where he was smoking his vape in the doorway of Number One, he offered her a small wave and she waved gently back at him as the postman approached him he took the post into his hands and saw it was the results for the DNA test which left him feeling rather anxious somehow may be down to a sixth sense Carla knew it was the results and walked over to him offering him a smile. He gestured for her to go in which she did carefully manoeuvring the pram so Ivy didnt wake as she walked into the living room of Number One.

"I'll ring Adam" Peter smiles as Carla nods sitting down on the sofa cross-legged, she reaches into the pram and picks Ivy up as well as taking the sling out of the changing bag; she wraps Ivy up in the sling which was now attached to her body

"There we go" she whispers stroking the back of her finger over Ivy's cheek, her dummy firmly placed in her daughter's mouth as she sucked vigorously on it

"He'll be around straight away" he states glancing to the envelope on the table, she glances up at him then smile before returning to pepper kisses all over Ivy's head "How are you?"

"Nervous but it needs to be done" she flashes him a smile as Adam enters the room with a cheeky grin on his face causing Carla to roll her eyes "Who's opening it then?"

"I called Daniel" he states as Carla raises an eyebrow "That way we dont squabble over who opens it"

"Whatever" Carla breathes out as Ivy wakes up to look around the room, Daniel enters holding Bertie on his hip "It's on the table"

"Right," Daniel says tearing the envelope open and reading it carefully, Carla bites her lip "She's Peter's"

"Really?" Carla says as the tears line her eyes, Daniel passes her the letter as she reads it before wiping her eyes "I dont believe it...I-I won't believe it"

"It's there in black and white," Daniel says placing a hand on Adam's shoulder "We should leave them to it"

"Yeah..." he trails off glancing to Ivy then back at Peter "Congratulations Uncle Peter, Carla...hopefully, we can put all of what happened in the past"

"Yeah, thats what I want," Peter says glancing to Carla who was smiling at him "Time to look to the future" he whispers as Adam and Daniel nod before leaving the house, he bends down in front of Carla and Ivy as she smiles tearfully "Happy tears?"

"Very happy" she whispers as Peter nods "Do you want to hold her?"

"I would love to," he says sitting beside her as Carla places Ivy in his awaiting arms "Hey little one, you're so cute" he bounces her gently as Carla smiles slightly "So...?"

"So..." she trails off biting her lip as they both chuckle "I dont really know what to do; what do you want you can be honest"

"I want to spend time with her get to know her, I know she's a baby," he says noticing the look on Carla's face "But I'm her dad and I want to be involved"

"I want you to be involved as well" she confirms as Peter smiles "I'll tell you what why dont you come around to Maria's tomorrow then I can teach you how to do stuff...or now maybe if you're not busy"

"I'm not busy" he states eagerly as Carla smiles "I mean this is more important"

"Right then you can start with strapping her into her pram" Carla smirks as Peter looks confused, she pushes it towards him and he places Ivy down into it which immediately wakes her and makes her cry "Well I think someone was enjoying cuddles with their daddy and is now upset arent they baby girl?"

"Now what?"

"Well now we hook the bag onto the handle" she passes him the bag and he does what he's told, "Then you can put the blanket over her and we'll be all ready to go home won't we sweetheart?"

"She's beautiful" Peter coos as Ivy opens her eyes causing Carla to burst into laughter "What?" he chuckles nudging her as she continues to laugh

"It's just her, thinking about it now I know you're her dad I can see a lot of you in her even is she is a baby, it's the look she just gave you then an almost 'leave me alone look, stop talking about me look' i think she's going to be a handful when she's older"

"Well with our gene pool what do you expect?" he teases causing a smirk from Carla who takes the pram "Hey I want to push her"

"Are you sure it won't ruin your masculinity?" she punches him in the arm playfully, he goes to open the door for her so she could push the pram out onto the street

"I have you know that I will take good pride in protecting my daughter," he remarks, Carla just sniggers stepping beside him allowing him to push Ivy back to Maria's flat...

They didnt do much as Ivy decided she wanted to be well behaved and sleep in her bouncer, Peter waited eagerly for something to happen so that Carla could teach him what to do but they didnt hear a peep out of Ivy which was very odd but Carla just assumed that she was sleeping well for once which led her to put the TV on for a bit of background noise not wanting any emotional conversations about the part to crop which they liked to do at this time. Carla had her eyes focussed on her watch and she was starting to get concerned that Ivy hadn't woken so she walked into the bedroom and to her horror and fear she shouted,

"Peter call an ambulance!" she cries as Peter rushes into the room with a frown on his face seeing a lifeless Ivy in Carla's arms "Hurry, she's still breathing I think I dont know Peter...what do I do, no, no this can't be happening"

"Here" he passes her the phone as he takes Ivy into his arms and rubs her back whilst Carla spoke to the paramedics on the other end of the phone "Come on little one, you can do this; she doesn't look good Carla"

"I know that!" she snaps emotionally before crying "Sorry...Victoria Court on Victoria Street Weatherfield, yeah thank you; Peter what does she look like?"

"She looks pale and her face looks weird I dont know!" he stresses as Carla gulps looking at Ivy in Peter's arms as he looks blankly at her rather exasperatedly trying to keep in control as Carla was an emotional wreck; the buzzer goes off

"I'll go" she gulps going to let the paramedics in she immediately shows them to the bedroom where Peter was holding Ivy, the paramedics immediately place an oxygen mask over her face and rush her out to the ambulance

"We can take one"

"You go," Peter says as Carla nods getting into the ambulance "I'll tell Maria then ask her for help with a bag and stuff, look after her ok dont worry"

"Yeah, easier said than done..." she gulps glancing to the paramedics who were rushing around Ivy "What's happening?"

"We dont know for sure so we're going to get her to the hospital and run some tests to determine what's happening but right now she's stable"

"Right" Carla gups in absolute shock causing her to close her eyes and pray, pray for her daughter to get through whatever this was and pray for her to stay sane and not push people away.
