Sorry for such a long wait for an update, I think this fic is coming to an end soon as I have other ideas for more fics. Please let me know how you feel about this! Also I know this one isn't as long as my normal updates but I have been so busy with Uni and getting back into that so I have had less time to write. You are all appreciated so much!


Today was the last day that Kate was in LA. she had spent lots of time with Carla and the kids leaving Peter feeling left out.

Kate noticed and had softened towards Peter. She knew he had done wrong but she knew that he loved Carla and in the grand scheme of things one drink didn't amount to the same level of betrayal as an affair.

"Peter, can I have a word?" Kate asked.

Peter nodded and followed her to the kitchen.

"Look you know that I love my sister but she has been miserable since all this happened, she loves LA and was always happy here"

"I agree"

"Well I think you two should have a day together"

"But she will want to spend it with you because it's your last day"

"She can have lots of time with me when she comes home and she will do that quicker if she is happy with you again" Kate told him.

"Ok, thanks Kate" Peter replied. He was grateful for the suggestion but he was nervous to spend the day with Carla as they hadn't been on the best of terms.

Peter walked out to Carla, who was sitting around the pool whilst Haisley swam in the water.

"Carla, I was wondering if you wanted to spend the day with me?" Peter asked her, sitting next to her around the pool.

"What did you have in mind?" Carla asked him, tempted by his offer. She had missed him.

"I thought we could go to the beach and chill, we could have some lunch together" Peter suggested.

"How about we go to the spa that me and the girls went to?" Carla suggested "we could get lunch there"

"Sounds perfect" Peter smiled at her, she smiled back.

Carla went inside to pack a bag. Suzie joined her in the bedroom whilst Peter and Kate were watching the kids.

"How are you feeling about today?" Suzie asked.

"I am looking forward to it" Carla smiled as she picked out a few bikinis "this is what we need"

"Yes, you need to remember why you are together in the first place"

"I am going to pack this one" Carla said, placing a bikini into her bag.

"Why that one?"

"Peter loves it" Carla giggled.

"Well if you need to get a room in that spa, I can have the kids overnight" Suzie told her.

"I couldn't, I haven't forgiven him that much" Carla smiled.

"Carla, if you get excited with that man you are going to want to have sex with him, don't worry about the kids, they will be fine"

"I will see how things go" Carla told her but secretly the thought of sex with Peter was a good one. They needed to let off some steam and some anger that they are holding towards each other and what better way to do that.

A little while later the couple were ready to go, they were ready to spend some time together.

"I am glad you agreed to this" Peter said to Carla, leading the way to the taxi.

"We have to spend some time together Peter otherwise there is no point of us being together in the first place" she gave him a small smile.

"Listen Carla" Peter started but Carla placed her finger over his lips.

"Let's get to the spa first and then we can talk properly" she told him. He nodded at her in response and let her continue on their journey.

Once checked into the spa, Carla and Peter separated ways to the different gender changing rooms. Peter hurried himself along, he wanted to be waiting for Carla when she walked out. He was grateful for her and wanted to show her that.

Carla was nervous about today, she loved Peter, that was true but she was unsure that they would be able to move forward. They had been through a lot together but somehow this time was different.

She placed her black bikini on and smiled at her reflection in the mirror, somehow she had had two children but from looking at her you wouldn't be able to tell. She placed her dressing gown on and left for the pool, where Peter was waiting.

"Hey" he smiled at her, limply.

"Are we the only ones here?" she asked, looking around noticing the empty pool and hot tub.

"I phoned ahead to book it for ourselves, I thought we had a lot to talk about and I wanted to do it in private"

"Peter" Carla sighed "that was a nice thought"

Peter smiled at her, feeling good about doing good for once "shall we?" he asked, pointing to the hot tub.

Carla tilted her head with a nervous smile, she nodded and felt her guard drop a little.

Peter walked over to the hot tub, looking into Carla's eyes as he took each step in. Once he was sat in, Carla stood at the top of the steps.

She pulled her robe string off from around her and lustfully pulled it off of her shoulders, staring into Peter's eyes, letting it fall to the ground.

Carla joined Peter in the hot tub.

"Peter, while I am upset you thought you couldn't tell me that you had a drink, I don't think that is enough for us to split"

Peter sighed a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes and placed his hand on his chest.

He opened his eyes to see Carla smiling at him. For the first time in days he felt she softened towards him.

"I am so happy you say that Carla because I love you so much" he took her hand.

"But Peter this can not happen again, we need to be open and honest with each other, look what happens when we don't" Carla told him.

"I know Carla, when I got home and noticed you had all gone, my heart fell out from my chest" Peter told her sadly.

"Peter, I am so sorry about that" Carla looked down in shame. She couldn't believe what she had done.

"Carla" Peter said, placing his fingers under her chin "I understand why you did that, I know how your mind works remember" he told her.

She looked him in the eyes "that doesn't make it right"

"No, it doesn't Carla" Peter said, sternly but then continued when he saw her sad face "but it won't ever happen again so we can move past it"

Carla gave him a small smile. They sat in silence for a few seconds.

Peter looked her in the eyes, both of them let down their defences and softened towards the other. In the grand scheme of things what they were going through now was nothing compared to the past.

Peter could forgive Carla for taking the kids and Carla could get over the fact Peter had a drink as long as he put in the work to not drink again.

"Come here" Peter said, opening up his arms for Carla to fold into.

Carla moved around the hot tub so she was now sitting in Peter's arms.

"I have missed you" Peter said, kissing her on the top of her head.

"I missed you too" Carla said, looking up at him. Her eyes flashed to his lips and back to his eyes. She bit her lip, subconsciously.

Peter reached down to cup her cheek, he placed his lips onto hers.

Suddenly the couple were locked in a passionate embrace, hands exploring the parts of their partner they hadn't touched in a while.

Carla turned to straddle Peter, leaving both her legs to fall either side. Peter's erection becomes ever so clear, brushing against Carla's inner thigh.

"Shall we take this upstairs?" Peter asked, knowing it'll be hard to stop in a minute.

Carla smiled at him biting her lips, nodding her head. She stood, letting all the water fall off of her body.

Peter looked her up and down, the water making her body glisten in the sunlight coming from the big windows all around the pool area.

Carla walked up the steps, taking her time, knowing the effect she was having on Peter.

"Give me a second" Peter said, not being able to move out of the hot tub, for fear of showing the world his manhood.

Carla giggled. She placed her dressing gown around her "there, can you get up now?" she questioned with a small smile.

Peter nodded but remained sat leaving Carla with a smirk on her face. She couldn't wait to get Peter up stairs.

Over at the house Kate was packing up to go home. She was nervous about leaving Carla here with Peter but she knew her sister needed to get back on track with him.

She was excited to get back to Rana, who she had missed terribly. No one at home actually knows what's going on apart from Michelle and Rana as Kate told her the reason she needed to go with her sister.

"Are you ok?" Suzie asked Kate after noticing her staring into space.

"Mhmm" Kate answered "I am just worried about Carla, she is not as strong as she lets on"

"She is the strongest woman I know, but you know that" Suzie reminded her taking her hand.

Kate smiled at her with a nod. She looked at her young niece and nephew who were sitting on the blanket in front of her.

"Look after them" Kate said.

"Of course but they will be back in Weatherfield with you shortly" Suzie smiled.

Kate took her suitcase and left the house, jumping into the waiting taxi. She took her phone out to text Carla goodbye.

Over at the hotel, Carla didn't get her sister's text because she was laying next to Peter, naked.

They had just had the most amazing make up sex.

"That was amazing" Peter said, kissing Carla's forehead.

"I guess we both had some anger we had to get out" Carla giggled.

"That's for sure, but seriously Carla, I will never make you doubt me again" Peter told her, taking her hand into his.

"Peter, I know"

"No Carla, I am so sorry I didn't come to you, you must have been thinking all sorts" Peter sank his head "especially with our past"

"Peter, what you did was stupid but it's something we can learn from" Carla kisses his cheek "Let's move past this together and we can only get stronger"

"You are amazing" Peter places a kiss onto her lips "do you know that?"

"I do actually" Carla says, slipping out of the bed "come on let's get back to our babies"
