Carla was arriving at the police station as Peter was being released.
"Peter!" she shouted, running up to him and wrapping her arms around him.
"Carla, babe. I've missed you so so much." He said hugging her tight, with a small tear rolling down his cheek.
Sally was then led into the station and saw Carla and Peter there.
"Umm Carla, I forgot to say have an amazing wedding day." Sally said as she passed them.
"Erm thanks Sally." Carla replied and Peter smiled at her.
Sally then left to go down to her cell, which would be her home for the next ten to twenty years. That was the last time Carla would probably see her.
"Come on, I can't wait to see Simon's face when you walk through that door." Carla said, pulling Peter's hand and leading him to the car.
They walked in through the door. "Oh, Simon" Peter called out to his son.
Simon couldn't believe what he was hearing and he ran to the door and into his dad's arms.
"You're back" he cried.
"I sure am" Peter replied and they all hugged for a while then Peter suggested going to the pub to celebrate.
"Peter, you're back!" Tina said when they all walked into the pub. "These are on the house." She said, getting them all their usual drinks.
"Thanks Tina." Peter smiled and went to sit down with Carla, Simon, Ken and Deirdre.
After a while, Simon had fallen asleep on Carla's knee and was cuddled into her when a worried looking Sophie barged into the pub.
"Has anyone seen my mum?" she called
Carla looked at Peter and gently moved Simon off her knee and onto Peter's. She went up to Sophie, who looked petrified.
"Um Sophie, could I have a word in private?" Carla asked.
"What's happened her? Please Carla, just tell me?" Sophie asked.
"I think its better I tell you in private." Carla said, hating having to tell Sophie her mum had been arrested for murder.
Sophie looked at Carla worriedly and followed her outside.
"Sophie, I really don't know how to tell you this but you're mum did say to tell you she loves you very much." Carla started off.
"Carla, just tell me… please." Sophie said, cutting her off.
"Your mum's been arrested." Carla said.
"What? What for?" Sophie asked, confused.
Carla took a deep breath.
"She murdered Frank…" she said, even now Carla still hated saying that man's name.
"What? How could she just leave and not even say goodbye?" Sophie sobbed.
"Aw come here darlin'" Carla said, pulling Sophie into a hug.
"How am I meant to cope without her?" Sophie whispered.
"You'll manage Soph. You'll be able to go and visit her anytime you like. And if you need anything, you know where I am." Carla offered.
"Thanks." Sophie said with a small smile. "Does Rosie know?"
"No, your mum did ask if I'd tell her but maybe you want to do it?" Carla replied.
"I'll tell her. Thank you Carla… And I'm sorry for what she did." Sophie apologised and went to find her dad to tell him what had happened.
