2 months went by and Carla had been sick more times than she could count and her and Simon were getting on great and her and Peter had bought just about the whole of mother care. Carla was now 4 going on 5 months pregnant and she had just 2 months of work left before Michelle had kindly insisted on being in charge for a few months and today was the first day of the having a baby course Carla and Peter had been advised to sign up for.
"Do I have to go Carla" Peter pleaded with Carla as he couldn't stand these things.
"Yes Peter you do im not going on my own and it would do us both good I mean what would happen if I was to go into labour tonight you wouldn't ave a clue what to do so urry up" Carla moaned back at Peter as she was in an especially moany mood today.
An hour later they had arrived and taken a seat on the comfy cushions opposite the women. The women introduced herself and then started talking about breathing exercises to help out before birth and routines to keep Carla and the baby healthy and then a bit about feeding and what to do if she was to suddenly give birth. They were given loads of health leaflets and numbers to call and then it finished. But before they could go home Carla had to go and get her and the baby checked out. They sat in the waiting room reading through the leaflets which they had been doing for the past half an hour.
"Peter im sorry" Carla said turning her head to face him
"What for"
"For being a moany cow earlier and don't bother saying I wasn't cause I know I was"
"Its fine baby it really is" and then Peter went to give her a kiss but they got called in. First of all Carla had to get checked out she got her blood pressure taken, her heart measured and then her breasts checked to make sure they were making milk ok. And then they got led into another room were she got the baby scanned and its heartbeat check.
"Right well everything's ok wele need to see you in another 2 months times and the baby should start kicking soon"
"Okay thank" Carla said as she stood up
"Yea thanks" Peter said going to the door and opening it for Carla. Peter took Carlas and walked her to the car.
"Peter stop have we got eggs and crisps in the house im staving" Carla asked as she had a craving for egg mayo and Pringles
"Yes loads" said Peter opening the car for Carla "Do you want to go back to work or just stay home.
"Sorry love promised chelle I'd go back"
"No its fine really"
"Ok well I'll pop get my eggs and crisps and then go over" Carla said as she leant in to give Peter a quick kiss.
20 minutes later Carla had went and gotten 2 packs of Pringles and 4 boxes of egg mayo put it in a bag and headed into the office.
"Hey Chelle how you doing" Carla asked taking a seat and getting out her eggs and crisps.
"Fine but more importantly how are you doing"
"Oh me im fine and so's my lump"
"Well that's good then"
"Want one" Carla asked Michelle dunking a pringle into the egg mayo.
"Eh no Car its only you who eats salt and vinegar Pringles with egg mayonnaise"
"Sorry I can help it" Carla suddenly went very quite and moved her hand down to her stomach
"Car what's wrong" Michelle said getting up from her seat and walking over to her confused at what was happening
"It is doing something chelle and it feels really weird"
"What do you mean weird" Michelle said leaning down beside her.
"It's like kicking me but it's so soft" Michelle moved her hand onto Carla belly and felt for herself
"OMG it is too Ohhh I remember when Ryan started it was so weak and hardly a touch but I could still feel it"
"Its amazing chelle its amazing OMG it's so amazing" Carla said standing up and hugging her best friend.
"Say hello to you auntie chelle little baby"
"Oh Carla this is amazing" They both got interrupted by Julie knocking at the door
"Yes Julie how can I help" Carla said walking over and opening the door.
"Eh I believe these are for you Mrs Connor"
"Right thank-you Julie" Carla said closing the door and sitting back down
"Oh who are they from" Asked Michelle
"Peter it says sorry for earlier Xxxx"
"What happened earlier" Michelle asked curious
"Oh he was just moaning about not wanting to come today but nothing really"
"Okay if your sure" Michelle said getting back to work. For Carla the time went by really slowly but its finally came to half 4 and Carla left.
"Peter baby" Carla said walking up the flat stairs with a massive smile on her face
"What's up beautiful" Peter said lifting her up and walking over to the couch with her in his arms.
"You're going to have to wait and find out" She said slipping out her shoes and folding her jacket over the arm of the sofa.
"Now if you mind I would like a quick sleep im knackered" Carla said lying down on Peters lap
"Ok sweetheart I'll stay right here" And then Carla slowly dozed off. A couple of hours passed but Carla woke suddenly with a jump.
"What's up baby" Peter asked but Carla just grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach
"Feel this it's our baby" Carla said with a big grin on her face seeing Peter's reaction.
"It's amazing it's so gentle" Peter said leaning down to kiss her before being interrupted by the buzzer going. Peter went and let whoever come in and Simon ran up the stairs and Ken followed him behind carrying his school bag.
"Mum mum" Simon said running up to her.
"Hello little dude" She said sitting up so he could sit down beside her.
"I've missed you today" he said giving her a hug
"Well I missed you too" She said hugging him back before Peter cam and sat him on his knees but Simon ran off and went to play his Nintendo in his room.
"What do you want for tea love" Peter asked putting his arm around her.
"Nothing im fine"
"Nothing you've got to eat something even toast"
"Ok then I shall have a takeaway pizza"
"Right then I'll go order 2 pizzas" said Peter standing up to go get the telephone
"Wait I'll just have a plain one and I'll go shower me and the bump" Carla said walking into the bathroom. 20 minutes later she was showered and changed and lying with her feet over Peter.
"Simon time to go for your shower" Called Peter suddenly aware that he was still playing games in his room.
"OK dads just finish this game" And then the buzzer went and peter went to get the pizzas.
"Right this one's you're just with cheese and tomato and this one's mine" Peter said handing Carla the hot box. They were both silently eating away and then Simon ran in.
"Cool can I have some" Simon asked
"Yea have some of this love" Carla said handing him some of hers.
"Thanks Simon said as he ran into the bathroom.
