Carla was more determined to return to England but Peter knew she shouldn't, he trusted what Lilah was saying was true and that they were all in danger, so he persuaded her to stick it out for another month before contacting Lilah again. Carla was now twenty weeks pregnant and she had her twenty week scan today at a private hospital in town using Lilah's premium health care insurance. Both Carla and Peter decided that they were going to find out the gender of the baby so that they could start planning the nursery together for when they returned to England which seemed a long while off yet. Carla wanted to be back in England before her seven month mark so that they were prepared. Michelle and Peter noticed that Carla was getting very agitated over the simplest of things which concerned them quite a bit, she didn't really want to go out at all and only wanted lounge around in the villa snacking on food or watching TV with either Michelle or Peter, both of them had to practically drag her to the hospital for this scan today and it was a pretty exhausting task to say the least

"Carla Barlow?" the sonographer appears as Carla huffs heading into the room with Peter holding her hand, Peter helping her up onto the examination table

"Let's have a look at baby then" the sonographer smiles squirting the gel onto Carla's stomach as she flinches at the coolness of the gel, the sonographer swirling the wand around pressing a little harder onto Carla's tummy

"Is everything ok?"

"Everything seems fine, would you like to find out the gender?"

"Yes please" Carla grins as Peter nods pressing his lips onto her hand as the sonographer swirls the wand around again as Carla looks at the image of the baby moving around

"You're having a boy" the sonographer smiles as Carla beams up at Peter who kisses her on the forehead "I'll print some pictures off for you"

"A boy" Carla smiles as Peter nods slowly rubbing his hand over the swell of her tummy as the midwife enters handing them the ultrasound pictures as they begin the journey home…

In Weatherfield…

"You can't just walk in here!" Lilah shouts at Rob who just enters Underworld not really caring about what he does, Liam sighing in exasperation at the situation while the factory workers look at any given opportunity to gossip

"I can do what I want" Rob snaps as Lilah groans frustrated with the whole situation

"Right, go to my car" Lilah pushes Rob towards the door leading him to her car as they get in

"Look, you need to stop this feud with Carla and Peter"

"Don't tell me what to do!" Rob shouts angrily just wanting to see his sister and give her the revenge both of them needed so deeply

"Ok let me rephrase, what would it take to get you to stop this?"

"Me speaking with her on her own without that cheating rat Peter being there" Rob glares as Lilah rolls her eyes, she had heard this so many times before but she wasn't going to endanger Carla or her unborn child like that, no…they needed to stay out in the Maldives for longer

"That's not happening" Lilah scoffs "and what happens if she didn't want to speak to you?"

"Well I'd force her, tie her up and make her speak to me, don't think I'm joking either"

"I know you're not, but is it really the answer, this whole revenge malarkey, just seems a bit farfetched"

"Oh shut it Lilah, you know I deserve this" Rob mutters as Lilah sighs dipping her head into her hands in pure exasperation, she was starting to lose her tether

"Why wont you let me help you come to terms with what's happened, I can help but you're the one pushing everyone away"

"I don't need help" he snipes as Lilah rolls her eyes "I'm perfectly fine"

"So what are you going to do then? What's this ultimate revenge plan because I am very intrigued"

"Find Carla, tie her up and beat the words I want to hear out of her, are you happy?" Rob questions sarcastically as Lilah sighs again, it was going to be harder than she thought to get Rob to give this plan of revenge up…

Maldives…

"How was it?" Michelle questions eagerly bouncing Alannah up and down as she smiles widely, Carla going to give her a quick kiss on the forehead

"Yeah it was good, he's good" Carla smirks as Michelle gasps handing Alannah to Peter who rolls his eyes Michelle hugging Carla tightly

"A boy eh?"

"Indeed a boy" Carla smiles patting her stomach which was still only rounded, it just looked like she ate too much, she thought it would be a small baby

"We're going out to celebrate" Michelle states as Carla laughs at her eagerness Peter entertaining Alannah as he bounces her around

"I don't know why, I feel rough in general so I don't think I could even keep anything down" Carla smiles as Michelle pouts her lips, Peter handing Alannah back to her as he goes to rub Carla's stomach for her hoping to relieve her nausea a bit

"Hmm thanks baby" Carla smiles as Peter turns her around in his arms planting a kiss on her lips as she smiles at him

"Actually I was going to ask for your help Car"

"Hmm? Why?"

"I was actually going to start Alannah on solids next month so I was wondering if you want to come with me to buy a high chair, bowls and spoons stuff like that…"

"Yes! I can't wait for her to be able to eat normal food, means I can feed her"

"Well I wasn't expecting you to be this excited over it…" Michelle laughs as Peter sways Carla from side to side his hands still rested on her bump as she gasps

"Was that?" Peter asks as Carla bites her lip guiding his hands to the top of her stomach as she gasps again, the soft ripples of her son underneath her and Peter's hand

"He moved!"

"Hey! Let's feel" Michelle grins holding Alannah in one arm as she places her spare on Carla's bump rubbing it gently over the skin as the ripples occur

"Oh wow, do you like the feeling of it?"

"This is ok, not sure I'll be saying that when he's bigger" Carla laughs as Peter kissing her head taking in the scent of her freshly washed hair as she yawns

"Yeah boys are twice as active as girls in the womb, I didn't have that many problems with Alannah but Ruairi and Ryan, gosh they were squirming around in there like no tomorrow, so I pity you"

"Oh thanks" Carla scoffs turning the TV on as it starts to thunder outside causing a sigh from Michelle who cuddles up with Carla on the sofa with Alannah resting on her chest as Peter watches Carla's eyelids flutter softly and shut as she drifts off into a peaceful sleep

"You going to move her?" Michelle whispers as Peter nods slowly scooping Carla up into his arms and taking her into the bedroom placing her under the linen as she reaches her hand out to make Peter stay, he smiles stroking her hair for a bit as Michelle appears in the doorway watching Peter coax Carla back into a peaceful sleep before getting up to leave

"She should be out for a bit, he's wiped her out" Peter smirks to Michelle who laughs bouncing Alannah up and down before placing her on the play-mat for some tummy time

"How has she been since you've been out here?"

"She just seems interested in resting and not being stressed out about things back home, so she should be ok, I think we just need to ensure her that staying here is the best for her and the baby but I know she's getting itchy feet about wanting to go back home, I just don't know how long I can keep her here that's all"

"You need to speak to Lilah then, because she's just going to get increasingly stressed, and that wouldn't be good for the baby"

"I know I do, I don't suppose you could take her out, get some things for a the baby just in case things happen, I don't want to be stuck out here with nothing" Peter sighs as Michelle nods, Alannah squealing excitedly pointing to the TV

"She's observant"

"Mhm, she's good at pointing things out" Michelle kisses Alannah's head bouncing her up and down which causes her to cry, Michelle biting her lip, Carla running through the living room to the bathroom causing Peter to snigger Michelle raising an eyebrow

"You alright love?" Peter calls as Carla appears wiping her mouth, glaring at them both as they both try to suppress laughter

"I love pregnancy" she replies sarcastically with her thumb up going to cuddle into Peter's side, looking at Alannah who was smiling up at Michelle

"Did you have a nice sleep whilst it lasted?"

"Yeah it was great, I really enjoy being sick as well" Carla groans as Michelle hands Alannah to her getting her the bucket in case she was sick again, Alannah snuggling up against Carla's chest, her eyes becoming heavy

"Oh so she sleeps for you!" Michelle exclaims as Carla smirks, rubbing Alannah's back gently to settle her, as her eyes flutter shut, sleeping peacefully against Carla

"Hmm, she's tired" Carla whispers as Peter strokes Alannah's head as she snuggles into Carla's chest as far as she could

"Why don't you get some sleep as well? You can sleep with her on your chest" Michelle smiles as Carla nods, moving so she was lying on the sofa, her eyes fluttering shut instantly

"Goodnight beautiful" Peter whispers watching Carla sleep with Alannah on her chest, a little insight to what life would be like in a few months
