"How the hell did they let you out?!" Nick shouted at Robert, as he crossed the street, heading towards him.
Carla sighed as she followed Nick to make sure he didn't do anything stupid like last time.
Robert smirked at the both of them.
"Hello Carla" he said, smugly as she caught up with Nick. "How's our little one doing?"
"This baby is not your little one!" Nick said, raising his voice.
"You're vile" Carla said, angrily at Robert.
Robert laughed. "Weren't saying that when you practically fell into bed with me."
"Well I'd love to stay and chat but you know, things to do and people to see." Robert said. "I still want my share by the way..." He laughed as he walked off.
"I hate him, Nick.. So much" Carla sighed in frustration.
"So do I. I honestly thought that would've been the end of this.." Nick said, sadly.
"It's never going to end, is it? He's always going to be on our backs. Then when this ones born, he's never going to leave us alone" Carla said, stressing herself out.
"No, he won't. Because I won't let him harass our baby too" Nick said, as he pulled Carla into his arms.
"You're going to see Rob today aren't you?" He asked as she nodded.
"Listen, just try and forget about Robert. You'll only stress yourself out and that's not good for the baby." Nick said, putting a hand on her stomach.
"Nick, that's easier said than done"
Later that day, Carla was sat in the prison waiting room.
Rob walked towards her and as she stood up, they both instantly hugged each other.
"I'm so glad you came" Rob said as Carla smiled. "Me too"
"How are things since you got out of hospital?" Rob asked.
"Not so good. Robert still wants half of The Bistro and he still thinks this baby is his. We reported him to the police but he came back this morning.." Carla said sadly as Rob sighed.
"I wish I could be there more for you"
"You're doing good, Rob. I'm really glad we made up. How are you doing.. you know, in here?" Carla asked.
"Same old. Just one day at a time"
"I am really sorry for handing you in" Carla quietly said as Rob gave a sad look to her.
"I know you are. And I also know you didn't have a choice. You did what you had to do and I'm not going to hold it against you.." He said.
Carla placed something on the table and slid it across to Rob. It was her scan photo from the hospital. "I thought you'd like to see this.. Your little niece or nephew"
Rob took the photo into his hands and began to well up a little. "Carla, I'm so so happy you're getting a second chance at this. You and Nick are going to be great parents. You'll be everything we never had." Rob smiled, looking at the photo again.
"You can keep that one. I've got a few." Carla said as Rob happily looked up at her.
"Thank you"
After a while, Carla and Rob had spoken about lots of things and it was time Carla had to leave.
Rob stood up at the same time as her and hugged her again.
As Carla was in her brothers arms, she felt a shooting pain in her stomach but tried to ignore it. Rob let go of her as he had to go. As he walked away, Carla grabbed onto his arm suddenly with her other hand placed on her stomach. It was now clear she was in a lot of pain now.
"Rob.." she breathed out.
"What? What is it?"
She got another pain through her stomach and she knelt down, exactly like last time.
"Carla?"
Carla began to cry. "Rob, no." she said through the pain. "This can't happen again. Please" she cried as Rob knelt down beside her and an ambulance was called.
"Not again"
Carla arrived at the hospital and Nick also arrived, minutes later.
He ran to find her and when he did, he was right by her side, holding her hand.
"We'll have to run some tests to see what's causing the pain you're experiencing" the midwife said.
"Hey, it's okay.." Nick tried to comfort her, but on the inside he was scared. He knew what it would do to Carla if she lost her baby.. again.
"Nick, what if..." Carla cried before Nick cut her off. "No, don't say it. It'll be alright" Nick said, as he hoped if he said it out loud, it would be what happened, as Carla cried into his arms.
The midwife walked into Carla's room. "We have the results back and baby is ok" she said as Carla breathed out heavily at the same time as Nick.
"Why was she in so much pain then?" She asked.
"You mentioned you were quite stressed out at the moment. You need to be taking it very easy, especially for baby's sake. Put your feet up and make sure you don't stress yourself out." The midwife explained.
"Can I go home now?" Carla asked, exhausted and the midwife nodded. "Yeah you're free to go whenever you want"
Carla got off the bed as Nick took her hand. "You heard her. You have to take it easy." He said, firmly. "No more stressing about Robert."
