Note : So I know they apparently set a date in March for the wedding but in this story they set the date in June and this is end of April 2016.
'Babe, what happened?' Nick asks as he rushes into the hospital room where Carla curled up on the bed.
'I'm okay.' She whispers glancing up at him.
'What happened? Have they told you what's wrong?' He asks sitting on the edge of the bed.
'Just anaemic.' She replies quietly.
'God I was so worried about you.' He says pushing some hair away from her eyes.
'I'm okay.' She repeats.
'Michelle, Aiden and Kate are out there... Do you want me to bring them in?' He asks.
'Yeah, okay... And could you go get me some water and chocolate?' She asks.
'Of course... I won't be long.' He replies. He leans down and kisses the top of her head before leaving the room. He makes his way back to the family room where he has spent the last half an hour waiting.
'She's okay. You can go through if you want. I'm just going to the shop.' Nick says leaning against the wall as Michelle jumps out off her seat.
'Where is she?' She asks pulling an equally worried Kate up with her.
'Room 12.' Nick replies watching the two girls rush out of the room.
'You okay, mate?' Aiden asks.
'Where did it all go wrong for us, Aiden? You know I can put on a front on for her, I can pretend that everything is going to be okay but every time I close my eyes I see her with him and it's killing me.' Nick admits.
'Let's take a walk... Carla will be fine with Kate and Chelle.' Aiden says.
'Oh god! We were so worried about you!' Michelle says as she instantly rushes over to Carla and wraps her arms around her.
'I'm okay. Well I'm not okay but yeah...' Carla replies.
'What happened?' Kate asks sitting on the edge of the bed.
'I don't know if Nick told you but I'm anaemic.' Carla replies.
'But that's not serious is it?' Kate asks.
'No... But I am pregnant.' Carla admits.
'Okay,.. Is that a bad thing?' Kate asks as Michelle sighs.
'Is it Robert's?' Michelle asks.
'No. It's definitely Nick's, I'm too far along for it to be Robert's.' Carla replies.
'So what's the problem then?' Michelle asks.
'I'm about 24 weeks they think... I've been drinking, Chelle. New Years Eve I got drunk enough to think sleeping with Robert was a good idea. What if I've damaged my baby? I'll never forgive myself.' Carla admits tears filling her eyes.
'Carla, stop panicking. Look at me. Have the doctors said anything?' Michelle asks grabbing hold of her best friend's hand.
'They let me hear the heartbeat. They're going to do a scan tomorrow so I've to stay in overnight to rest.' Carla replies and Michelle smiles.
'You heard the heartbeat? There you go then, if baby had a nice healthy heartbeat things should be fine... I'm surprised Nick left your side after that news.' Michelle says.
'I've not told him.' Carla admits.
'What? Carla you need to tell him. This isn't something you can keep from him.' Michelle says as Kate passes Carla a tissue.
'I don't plan on keeping it from him... I just want to make sure everything is okay first.' Carla replies wiping her eyes.
'Oh Carla... How do you always manage to get yourself into these situations.' Michelle whispers.
'You don't even have a bump... How is that possible?' Kate asks glancing down at Carla's still flat stomach.
'The thing is Nick, if you can't get over this and you don't think you can get passed this then you need to tell Carla now because staying with her is only giving her false hope. I know what she did was wrong, she knows what she did was wrong but you two can't drag this out if you don't see it working. You'll both end up getting hurt in the end.' Aiden says as Nick rests his head in his hands.
'I want it to work. I love her more than anything and I know she loves me. I know she didn't go out with the intention to cheat, it's just Carla hits the self destruct button every time something bad happens and this time Robert just happened to be there. I know she's sorry and I don't doubt for one minute that she regrets it but at the same time that doesn't make it any easier to deal with.' Nick replies.
'Maybe you two just need some time apart.' Aiden suggests.
'Maybe.' Nick whispers.
