'I hear congratulations are in order.' Roy says smiling as he follows Kate into Carla's bedroom where she is sitting up against the headboard.
'Thank you, Roy... Come on in, have a seat.' Carla replies smiling as the older man stands awkwardly at the bottom of the bed.
'I brought you some food, some meals you can just heat up when you need it. There's enough for Kate as well.' Roy says taking a seat on the chair by Carla's bed.
'Oh thank you... You shouldn't have, Roy.' Carla replies.
'I got you some magazines as well, I didn't know what you liked so Rita helped me pick them.' He says placing a pile on the bed as Kate crawls up to sit beside Carla.
'Thank you.' Carla replies smiling.
'So how are you and baby doing?' He asks and she shrugs her shoulders.
'Okay. The contractions have stopped so as long as she stays in there a little longer everything should be fine.' She replies smiling as Kate rests her head on Carla's shoulder.
'That's good. How are things with you and Nick? Michelle mentioned that things have been a bit rocky.' Roy asks reaching for the brunette's hand as tears fill her eyes.
'I don't know.' Carla admits and he gently squeezes her hand.
'He loves you, Carla. If there is even a chance that this relationship is worth saving then don't let him go... Even Hayley and I went through our rough patches.' Roy says and Carla smiles.
'I'm sure we'll be okay.' She whispers.
'That was nice of Roy to come see you.' Kate says smiling as she lies on her side facing Carla.
'Mmm... He's great, he's really be there for me these past few years.' Carla admits as Kate's phone vibrates.
'You going to answer that?' Carla asks watching Kate stare down at her phone.
'No. It's dad, he won't take the hint that I don't want to talk to him.' Kate replies and Carla sighs.
'Pass me the phone... I'll speak to him.' She says putting her hand out.
'A-Are you sure?' Kate asks and Carla nods her head. She takes the phone from Kate and hits the button to answer it.
'Hello.' She says holding the phone to her ear.
'Kate?' Johnny asks.
'Nope, this is Carla.' She replies.
'Oh Carla! How are you?' Johnny asks.
'I'm fine.' She replies bluntly.
'Good, where's Kate?' He asks.
'Right beside me. She doesn't want to talk to you, Johnny. She's not ready to talk to you.' She replies.
'Just give her the phone, Carla.' Johnny says.
'She wasn't even going to answer the phone to you Johnny.' Carla replies.
'Pass my daughter the phone, Carla.' He says and Carla smiles.
'Your daughter doesn't want to speak to you Johnny and that is no ones fault but your own.' She replies.
'Carla...' Johnny says.
'Bye Johnny.' She replies ending the call and placing the phone on the bed.
'Why did he have to do it, Carla? Why did he have to lie to us for all these years?' Kate asks sighing.
'I don't know, Kate. But I don't want you to be unhappy and if you really do want to forgive him I don't want to stand in your way. Personally I can't forgive him but I can be civil with him for your sake.' Carla replies moving some hair out of her younger sister's face as tears fill her eyes.
'This is so messed up.' Kate mumbles.
'I didn't want to hurt you or Aiden.' Carla says and Kate shakes her head.
'You didn't. You've been hurt by him just as much as we have.' Kate replies.
'Hey... How are you doing? Anymore contractions?' Nick asks sitting down on the edge of the bed.
'Hi, nope... I think I felt her moving though, it was really fucking strange.' Carla admits, a smile appearing on her face.
'Really? That's great... You know we really need to start shopping for her or else we'll have nothing.' He says and she nods her head.
'I know. Why don't you grab the laptop and we can do it now.' She replies sitting herself up a bit. He grabs the laptop and takes it over to her.
'I still can't quite believe this is happening.' She admits turning the laptop on and pulling up the Mothercare website.
'This is crazy... So crazy but so exciting.' He says and she nods her head.
'I'm so sorry I've been pushing you away... I'm just a bit overwhelmed and scared.' She replies.
'It's okay. I understand and I know I probably didn't help by walking out when you first got back from the hospital.' He says.
'This isn't your fault, Nick. I fucked up, I cheated, I pushed you away.' She replies and he reaches out to touch her cheek.
'I love you.' He says.
'I love you too.' She replies smiling.
'Where are you going?' Nick asks sleepily as he watches Carla climbing out of bed and making her way towards the bedroom door.
'Toilet.' She replies.
'Are you okay? Do you want me to come with you?' He asks leaning up on his elbows.
'I'm perfect capable of going on my own, Nick. Plus I'd rather not have you standing over me while I pee.' She replies causing him to smile. She walks out of the room and he glances out the window at the moon which is softly lighting the room up. After baby shopping Nick made them dinner before they settled down to watch a film and they must've fallen asleep.
'Do you want me to leave?' He asks glancing up at her as she makes her way back into the room.
'Nope... You're not going anywhere.' She mumbles climbing back into bed. She curls her body against his and rests her leg across his thigh.
'I love you, Nicky Tilsley.' She whispers resting her head against his chest.
'I love you too.' He replies smiling.
