"Is the plan still going ahead?" Lilah questions handing Carla a glass of orange juice and placing a couple of full English's in front of her guests, Carla and Michelle decided to spend the night last night as it was the wedding today, it was up to the three of them to lug Carla's wedding dress into Carla's car without creasing it, Michelle lugging her makeup case as well as Carla putting hers in ready for the day ahead
"I'm so nervous-"
"Don't know why" Lilah sniggers as Carla rolls her eyes knowing what she was going to say
"Well this time it's different we have come so far and I just want it to be perfect" Carla emphasises as Lilah sighs knowing that had been a very repetitive phrase which was being said over the over the last 24 hours
"If you don't mind me interrupting, what's this plan you two are keeping secret about?" Michelle questions holding Alannah who was sleeping peacefully in her arms, Carla taking her off Michelle so she could eat in peace
"Hey beautiful, you're going to look amazing in your dress, your mum is so nosey it's unreal" Carla coos as Lilah smiles at the union between Carla and her niece before going to get the makeup cases for her and Michelle to do Carla's makeup for her big day
"Gosh we have so much makeup" Lilah groans as Carla grins holding Alannah against her chest before going to put her back down in the moses basket Michelle dragged in moments prior
"Right, let's get you into this dress then?" Lilah smiles as Carla nods excitedly, Maria sending Michelle a text saying she was here, Lilah going to let her in as she was going to be doing her hair
"Where's my bag?" Carla asks as Michelle points to the suitcase which was by the kitchen door, Carla going early into it and grabbing her lingerie she promised Peter with, Michelle laughing at her bluntness, following her into the bathroom where Carla was getting changed
"Come on let's get this dress on you" Michelle smiles as Carla steps into it pulling it up and sliding the spaghetti straps of her dress onto her shoulders Michelle getting tearful about how beautiful the tanned top looked covered in the blue netting and the black fading into navy blue netting on the skirt, Carla looked amazing
"Let's have a look" Lilah smiles poking her head around the door and smiling at the dress, Carla did indeed look beautiful
"Come on, make-up time you" Michelle grins as Carla lifts the bottom of the dress up and walks to the kitchen where Maria was setting a vanity unit up on the counter
"Oh Carla, you look…amazing" Maria smiles as Carla grins taking a seat on the stool as Maria gets her palettes of makeup out, Carla smiling widely at the choices, she knew she wanted her makeup to flow with her dress, so she went for a navy blue blended in with black along with a generous amount of waterproof mascara, Michelle being as precise as she was, did Carla's winged eyeliner which accentuated her eyes boldly, Peter was definitely going to be blown away
"Thank you so much Maria" Carla smiles giving her friend a hug as she finishes curling Carla's hair, Maria doing two French braids with the hair flowing through each gap in the braid the curls springing to life, Maria delicately placing the headpiece on Carla's head, the copper blending in with her hair and the sapphires illuminating her eyes further
"Wow" Michelle gasps as Carla smiles widely trying not to cry as Michelle brings her in for a hug
"Right let us get ready now" Lilah smirks leaving the room to go upstairs and throw on a long navy dress with a very provocative slit running down the top and sliding on her black stiletto heels, Michelle doing the same, sliding on a black flowing dress with long sleeves as it was pretty chilly out, then dressing Alannah in a black dress, just for Carla's special day
"Li! We're running late!" Michelle calls as Lilah comes down the stairs with her hair straightened, as Carla walks into the hallway eager to get going
"Right, I have me keys, me tissues and I have me hat, right let's get going" Lilah smiles as Carla nods excitedly heading out to Lilah's car and getting in the back with Michelle as Maria decided to take Alannah
They arrived in time surprisingly considering everyone else took so long to get ready, Carla looks at the hotel, it was perfect, vintage, boutique the lot, and she couldn't believe she was getting married to Peter today
"Right, I'll get the staff to take your case up to your room whilst you wait here with Michelle" Lilah smiles lifting the case up and out of her car and taking it to the reception, before notifying the service that Carla was here which left Peter pretty nervous and excited
"We're all good" Lilah returns as Michelle walks Carla to Johnny who smiles at his daughter
"You ready?" he whispers as Carla lets a breath out somewhat shakily as she nods, Michelle flipping over the black veil she attached to Cala's headpiece in the car as her and Johnny begin the walk down the aisle, everyone gasping at the intricacy of the dress as she finally arrived at the altar, Peter turning around to look at her, his breath was taken away, Carla looked amazing, beautiful like a true goddess and he was so happy that he would become her husband by the end of the day
"You look beautiful" he whispers
"You don't look too bad yourself"
A couple hours later and they were married, no one objected and the booze was flowing freely, well for everyone except the married couple, Carla wanted to be completely sober to contrast the last wedding to Peter and she knew that it would be better that way so Peter didn't feel like he was the only one not able to drink. They had their first dance, well second dance if you count past mistakes, but they were happy as they swayed in time to the music.
"I think this is going to be our year you know" Carla whispers as Peter's hands fell to her hips as she sways with him gently in time to the music
"Me too, you look stunning I can't take my eyes off you"
"Did you like the dress?" Carla whispers as Peter smiles running a hand to her back to push her body into his as she smiles, Peter then running his hand through the curls of her hair
"When can we get out of here?" he whispers his hand sat in a very suggestive position on her body as she smirks shaking her head knowing exactly what he was doing
"Not yet, but I have something for you if you don't go kissing anyone" she teases as Peter rolls his eyes at her remark, Lilah watching them sway together on the dancefloor as someone taps her on the shoulder Lilah turning around before the man which was there places a hand over her mouth and leads her out into the gardens…
"You shouldn't be here!" Lilah exclaims shaking her head unamused
"I know I got let out, I thought I'd come and watch my sister get wed to the cheating scum who ruined her life before"
"Rob you need to leave before I really start to take action-"
"And what are you going to then? Tell Carla I'm your new patient yeah she'll love that actually I can't wait to see the look on her face when you do" Rob snarls as Lilah groans in response she was in an awful position right now, she was lying to Carla's face again
"Right you're coming with me and we're going to talk" Lilah says dragging him to her car and shoving him in the passenger seat as they drive off into the distance…
"You two are going to end up taking each other on the dancefloor in a minute" Michelle exclaims nudging them both apart as they both groan Ken appearing gesturing for Carla to dance
"Thank you Carla" Ken smiles as Carla frowns confused
"What for?"
"For making Peter happy, you deserve each other and you both love each other so much, it's obvious to everyone in this room" Ken smiles as he walks Carla slowly around the dancefloor until the end of the song
"Mind if I take my wife back?" Peter questions as Ken gives Carla back to Peter as they start to sway together again, Peter kissing the delicate skin of her neck
"Oi! Peter stop, they'll be playing Sex on Fire next if you continue" Carla huffs as Peter rolls his eyes leaning in to capture her lips as she smiles into his kiss
"Most people are starting to leave now as they want to get to the Rover's before the countdown" Peter smiles pointing to the door which had a queue of people trailing out of it
"Shall we head upstairs then?" Carla grins as Peter nods dragging her out of the room and lifting her up into his arms as she cackles, Peter carrying her up the stairs to the honeymoon suite which he checked out before she arrived, upon entering the room he pushing Carla gently up against the door, Carla pulling away quickly and going to her holdall
"Baby come on I don't care about the lingerie" Peter replies desperate for her attention as Carla smirks
"Who said I didn't have it on?"
"Car, come to bed" Peter groans as Carla shakes her head still rummaging around in her bed and finding the box which had a navy blue ribbon wrapped around it
"Before we make love for the rest of the evening, I wanted to give you this" she smiles sitting next to Peter on the edge of the bed as he pulls the ribbon off and opening the box tears filling his eyes
"Really?"
"One hundred percent confirmed, Peter"
"Liam?" he panics as Carla shakes her head
"Look at the weeks" she points to her positive pregnancy test which she took this morning whilst Michelle was out with Alannah to get her to settle, which left Carla and Lilah to put this little plan they had going on together
"Eleven, how did you not know?" Peter questions gobsmacked that Carla was carrying his child
"I don't know but it's definitely yours, I promise you ok?"
"Thank you" he smiles placing the box down on the bedside table and launching himself at Carla as he pulls her up, taking her headpiece off and pulling the dress down, Peter bending down to kiss her stomach as Carla smiles, this was the future she was hoping for…
