Thank you for all you lovely reviews! I've decided to update after the feedback i received. Hope you enjoy.


As my eyes adjust the surroundings, I begin to smile. I turn over to see Carla, she was sleeping soundly.

I begin to think about the previous night. Where I had found the pregnancy test. Well the box of it.

I knew as soon as I walked into the flat last night, there was something wrong with Carla, she wasn't her usual self. But when I found out what was actually wrong with her, I don't think I've ever been so happy.

We had discussed both of our miscarriages, we only ever did that in our darkest hours, but for some reason, it felt right doing so last night.

I assured her I would be there for her every step of the way through this pregnancy, 'unlike Peter. Also, she has nothing to worry about at all. She seemed scared, but I told her everything was going to be okay. I wasn't lying.

I hope she doesn't think that I'm pushing her into this. She knows how much I want this baby and I really hope she feels the same way.


I lie in bed, watching her for at least half an hour, until the annoying, continuous sound of the alarm goes off. I watch as her eyes flutter open, she slowly turns to face me. She probably didn't realize I was already awake.

"Morning babe," I say as I plant kisses in her hair as she mumbles and switches of the alarm.

"How is Mummy this morning?" She smiles at me, I think it was the word 'Mummy' that made her smile.

"Mummy is okay," she croaks and I smile as well.

"Good," I wrap my arms around her waist under the covers and pull her towards me, occasionally smothering her in kisses.


Eventually, I pull the covers off me and climb out of bed.

"Where are you going? I want you to stay and cuddle me," She says smiling cheekily as I head towards the door, turning round to face her.

"I'm going to get ready for work, but before I do, I'm making you and junior breakfast as I know what your like for skipping your meals," I smile at her and she chuckles slightly.

"Please, just 5 more minutes?"

I nod and climb back into bed beside her.


The 5 minutes actually turned into about an hour, but we didn't care. We was both late for work, and we still didn't care.

I thought I would finish work early and surprise Carla with a candle lit dinner at home for when she got home.

Robert offered to make us the meal, and suggested we should talk about the wedding menus, which I thought was a good idea.

So, I lay the table whilst the food was in the oven staying warm. We was having lasagna and for our dessert Robert had made chocolate berry torte, it was what we shared on our first date.

I was in the middle of lighting a candle when she walked in, I turned round and watched as she sighed and threw her bag on the couch. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her.

"Rough day?" I ask and she sighs before putting her head on my shoulder whilst I rubbed her back with my hand in circular motions.

"Hey, what's up babe? Are you okay? Is it the baby?" I begin to worry as she wasn't replying to me. I put my finger under her chin and lift her head up so she is facing me.

"The baby is fine, I just feel a bit sick," She pauses and sighs, "I thought it was called 'morning' sickness, not 'evening' sickness. Or actually more like 'all the time' sickness"

"Aww babe, it's okay. Have you been sick?"

"No, I just feel a bit queasy" She sighs, again.

"This looks nice," She says glancing over my shoulder looking at the dining table.

I smile and release her from our embrace and she walks over and sits down on the chair, placing her hand on her flat stomach. I find this adorable.

"Are you sure your okay, I don't mind at all if your not up to eating,"

"I'm fine nick, honestly," She rolls her eyes. "The reason I probably feel sick is because I've not eaten since... 12, I think."

I get the two plates of lasagna out of the oven and put one in front of her on table, and the other opposite, where I sit down.

"This looks lovely Nick," she smiles as she picks up her fork and begins to eat.

"It was all Robert, not me. He also suggested we talked about the wedding menus, and I thought, maybe we should. Only if you want to obviously, I don't want to pressure yo..."

"Yeah, it's a great idea Nick," She smiles at me and puts her hand out.

I smile back at her and put my hand on top of hers. We look into each others eyes, I don't know how long for, but I think it was a while.

I loved her so much, she is the woman of my dreams. And soon she soon will be my wife and the mother of my child. I've never been so happy and excited for the future.
