Okay, thank you for the review, I couldn't resist doing another update!
He could help but stare. He'd wanted to see her for so long it was as though he was savouring the moments.
'Peter, what are you doing here' Carla said, her eyes falling to Henry in his arms.
'I came to see you' Peter said, holding Henry closer.
'Well you could have warned me.. no, you could have saved yourself the visit' Carla said, angry and upset.
'Carla, you didn't tell me about Henry' Peter said, looking down gently.
'Why should I have to. And how did you get my address?' Carla said, throwing her bag down.
'Michelle gave it to me' Peter said.
'Should have known she couldn't keep her mouth shut' Carla said, avoiding eye contact with Peter.
'He's beautiful Carla, perfect' Peter said standing up, and walking over to her, Henry in his arms.
Carla turned her head away. 'Yeah and he's probably tired, where is Dean.. what have you told him' Carla said, eyes wide.
'He's upstairs, and I told him nothing.. he told me more' Peter said.
'Well he didn't have a right to' Carla said, reaching out to take Henry.
Peter was desperate to hold her in his arms, touch her, love her, but her movements were rash and brisky.
Henry began to cry in her arms, she looked uncomfortable and unsure of what she was doing.
Dean came downstairs. 'Heard your back, what's up this one eh' he said, kissing Carla on the lips, and taking Henry from her. Peter watched as she gently quietened the baby. 'Think he wants his bottle' Dean smiled, unaware of the tension in the room and heading into the kitchen.
'Can you go?' Carla said, sitting down.
'I didn't want to upset you' Peter said.
'Well you have, just leave' Carla said.
'Keep your voice down, or he'll get suspicious; Peter frowned.
'I asked you to go, thanks for coming Peter' Carla said, raising her voice at the end, putting on her best smile.
'I need to see you' Peter said, looking into her eyes.
'Well, tough' Carla said, hissing in anger.
'Carla, I wont go unless you promise to meet me, tomorrow' Peter said.
She turned her head away. 'Fine' she replied, closing her eyes and she made a promise she didn't want to keep. Her heart still longed for Peter, and she knew spending any time with him was dangerous for her.
Peter smiled, surprised that she'd given in so easily.
'I'll meet you, at the Red Rec, 1pm tomorrow, bring Henry.. please' Peter said.
Carla sighed, but nodded reluctantly.
'Best be off, nice to meet you' Peter shouted so Dean could here.
'And you mate, sorry, this little man's got me busy!' Dean responded.
Carla could see Peter's face fall slightly, the jealousy obvious.
She led him to the door, still stunned to have him turn up out of the blue.
'I love you, I always have' Peter said, leaving Carla dumfounded as she watched him leave
