Sorry but most of this chapter is dialouge, again, but I'm trying to space it out so it's east to understand. Also I was bored last night when I uploaded the last chapter so decided that instead of keeping the chapters as chapters 1,2,3,4 etc that i'd name them all stuff to do with the chapter. Must admit some of them are rubbish though. Anyways you will be getting bored by now so on with the chapter!

Enjoy! :D

'Carla, it's Peter, you know who he is.' Michelle said trying to make Carla realise who he was. Carla looked at the man infront of her, studying his face. She didn't regonise him. Peter moved so he was next to Michelle.

'Carla it's me, we've been together for years, we've got a daughter.' Peter took Carla's hand, but she snatched it back.

'Don't touch me, I don't know you, I don't have any kids.' Sarah the nurse walked in.

'Is everything ok in here?'

'Make him leave.' Carla said looking straight through Peter.

'Carla don't believe me you know this man, you trust him with your life.' Michelle pleaded with her, but Carla just shook her head.

'I don't know him.'

'Mr Barlow maybe it would be best if you leave, the stress won't do Mrs Connor any good.'

'Fine I'll go but Carla you've got to believe me I love you, with all my heart and promise to do whatever it takes to get you to remember that.'

..

'Doctor what's going on? Why can't she remember Peter?' Michelle was trying to get answers out of the doctor, the two of them standing outside Carla's room while she got some rest. Peter was sitting on a nearby chair, not really listening to what was happening.

'We believe that Mrs Connor has got temporary amneisia, caused by the injury to her head.'

'Temporary?'

'In most cases like this full memory is restored within a matter of days.'

'In most cases? So not all? And why can she remember me and not Peter, or the fact she has a daughter?'

'How long have you know Mrs Connor?'

'Since we were kids.'

'That fact does help to prove that the amneisia is temporary, as she can still remember someone from her childhood. For now it will just be a case of time healing. Also if you recall when Mrs Connor was comatosed there where increases in her brain activity when Mr Barlow or any other person siqnificant to her talked to her. This shows that there is subconcious recignision to those people.'

'So she should remember?'

'In time yes. Once she is discharged it will be best to surround her in things that could trigger her memory but be careful, espiecally around her daughter because her innital reaction could have a big effect is she doesn't remember her.'

'Okay, when do you think she will be discharged?'

'Within the next few days. Mr Barlow?' Peter looked at the doctor.

'I think it would be best if you didn't try and see Mrs Connor at the moment, due to her amneisia.'

'So what am I suppose to do? Twiddle my thumbs at home while to woman I love, who has just come out a of coma is still in hospital.'

'I think it will be better for everybody at the moment Mr Barlow. I'll re-acess my thoughts in the next couple of days.'

'Thank you doctor.' Michelle said. The doctor smiled at walked away.

'Peter I think it would be best if you left, I promise I won't leave Carla's side and if she remembers anything I'll call you.' Peter got up and walked down the hall way and lent agaisnt a nearby wall, he couldn't believe it. Frank had taken everything from Carla and even now he was still taking. He could feel himself getting angry at the thought of Frank, and his frustration took over causing him to run out of the hospital.

..

Carla looked through the window of her room, and saw Michelle and the doctor talking. Carla was still confused. Who was that man? And why did Michelle know who he was. I've never seen him before let alone had a child with him. But it did frighten Carla that she couldn't remember anything about what happended to her, the stabbing, the man that stabbed her, nothing. Michelle came back into the room and smiled at Carla.

'How you feeling?'

'Never better. When are they going to let me out?'

'In a few days, you've got to kept in for observation just to make sure your alright.' Carla rested her head back and closed her eyes. Michelle sat next to her.

'Do you really not remember him?'

'Who?' Carla asked eyes still shut, even though she knew who Michelle was talking about.

'Peter. Peter Barlow. The man that loves you with all his heart. He adores you Carla, you and Lottie.' Carla opened her eyes and looked at Michelle with a frown her face.

'Who's Lottie?'

'She's your daughter, shes six years old, she thinks the world of you and Simon but for the past 3 months has had to try to understand why her mum isn't coming home and why her dad is always upset.' At this point Michelle had tears in her eyes but she refused to let them spill. She started playing with the fingers on Carla's hand.

'Why can't you remember her Carla? Try and remember your daughter. If you don't then Franks just won again, taking everything away from you. Again.'

'Frank?' The name sparked something inside Carla, she knew a Frank but for all the wrong reasons.

'He's the man that stabbed you because...well if you don't remember Peter then you won't remember Frank or what he did.'

'Why did he stab me?'

'I can't tell you that Carla, you won't believe me.'

'I have a right to know, and this is my life that were talking about.'

'Well if you don't believe that you've got a daughter then I doubt you will believe what he did to you.'

'What did he do Chelle?'

'I'm not saying.'

'Michelle.'

'No'

'Just tell me Michelle!'

'He raped you alright! Is that what you wanted to hear?' Michelle looked up at Carla, tears streaming down her face, and Carla knew that she was telling the gods honest truth.

..

Peter arrived back in Coronation Street and parked his car outside the Rovers. He dreaded going in, having to explain to what was happening. He thought it best if Lottie didn't know that Carla had woken up, and he prayed no-one had told her. On walking into the pub he found that it was slightly less packed then it had been when he and Michelle had left. Seeing him walk in Ken called him over to where he was sitting.

'Is Carla alright then Peter? Do you want me to bring Lottie and Simon to see her? Peter?' Peter sat down and put his head in his hands.

'She doesn't remember who I am. She doesn't know about Simon or Lottie. She looked straight through me Dad, like I was a stranger.'

'So what's happening with Michelle?'

'Carla remembers her, according to the doctor its just short term amneisa. Michelle's going to stay with her, and she said that she would call if there is any change. Are Lottie and Simon still in the back with Amy and Ryan.'

'Yes. I explained to Ryan whats happened but we thought it best if we didn't say anything just yet.'

'Well thank you for that. I just hope Carla remembers who we are, otherwise it's going to break Lottie's heart.'

Please review! This chapter was quite long compared to the others but I couldn't find a place to cut off without it not making sense. Can't promise that the length of any other chapters will be the same.
