she took Peter up on his offer of a bath and early night , and was awoken the next morning by him making her breakfast as she heard him singing to himself she slightly chuckled and placed a hand on her small bump which wouldn't really be noticeable to the eye of anyone who didn't know "your daddy's silly isn't he sweetheart" "we love him though" she smiled running her hand across her abdomen "you gave us both quite the scare yesterday but you keep safe in there and we'll keep the outside world safe for you alright" she's distracted from her thoughts when Peter comes through to the bedroom smiling to himself with a cheese, pickle and ham toastie for her and a cup of decaf coffee knowing how much she'd been craving pickles for some reason and how she was missing her coffee fix , "breakfast in bed" he says as he places it down on her bedside table as she sits up and goes to hug him out of appreciation "hey steady on it's only a toastie and some coffee" he laughs "not even proper coffee" he finishes and she's too starts to laugh "thankyou so much" she says "you really didn't have to not alot of men would have done this for me and I don't blame them" "yeah well not alot of men had the pleasure of you carrying their baby" he states sliding into bed next to her"and I'll do whatever it takes to keep you both safe" he smiles as he runs his hand along my stomach as I had done previously.
After they'd finished up with breakfast, Carla was trying to win him around to letting her do something anything that didn't revolve around the same four walls "Have you had anymore cramps" Peter asked cautiously not wanting to get her wound up by being too overbearing"No ,And i'd be the first to tell you if I had" she snapped " Yesterday really scared me" she said honestly "I know love I'm sorry come here" he said as he brought her into a hug she wouldn't admit it to him but she was grateful she really needed that hug , "How about we go for a walk around the Red Rec ey?Get you some fresh air we can take it at your pace" he said "Now your making me sound like your pet poodle" she laughed "Oh not a poodle sweetheart maybe a Rottweiler" he chucked as she lightly hit his chest , "Come on then" she said getting up "But it'll be your pace we'll be taking it at not mine Grandad" she said still laughing "Oi cheeky" he said getting up and tapping her bum whilst their still laughing to themselves if everything is gonna be this simple for the next six or so months they was gonna be fine he was so sure of it.
As they was walking along the Red Rec,arms linked together they spotted a family with a child about Simons age and a little baby girl he was pushing in the swing the sight actually made Carla well up slightly she was hoping Peter hadn't noticed but of course he had he hadn't taken his eyes of her more to make sure she wasn't in any pain "that'll be us in a few months" she smiled "what's happened to you?" Peter joked "pregnancy hormones it's gotta be" she laughed "you know imagining telling me who didn't even like kids let alone want them that she'd be welling up over the sight of a couple of siblings" she laughed "what do you want boy or girl?" Peter questioned "I don't know I mean a little girl would be lovely but probably a nightmare if anything like me" she said as they continued laughing "but honestly I don't mind aslong as it's healthy" she finished off "yeah I'd like one of each but it being healthy is the most important thing" he said kissing her softly.
They arrived home and Peter sent her straight to sit down whilst he made her a bacon sandwich for lunch her body shuddered at the thought of all the carbs she'd probably be consuming over the next few months least she had a good excuse I suppose , "Your gonna run yourself into the ground before this babies born if you carry on like this" she laughed "oi" he laughed "I tell you what you could be abit more grateful lady" he joked he would drive himself into the ground if it kept her and his kids safe "I am" she said as she stood up and gave him a hug "we need to think about telling Si" he said "we can do it when he finishes school if you want" she answered "only if your sure love" "of course he's your son baby" they ended their conversation with a kiss as he placed his hand on her stomach.
They got leanne to bring Simon around after school and gave her a heads up incase he didn't like the idea still being a fussy 10 year old boy and being a lonely child for 10 years to find out your getting a sibling must shock a child.
"Si can you sit down me and Car have something we want to tell you"Peter asked "Your not splitting up are yous?" He asked worriedly" "No course not" Carla smiled "How would you feel about having a baby brother or sister" she said "Your pregnant?" he asked "No I thought I'd get someone else to do all the leg work for me" she joked with him as he just looked even more confused "yeah Si she is pregnant" Peter said to pull him out of his confusion as Simon stood up and ran to hug his dad and Carla "I take that as a yes?" Both Carla and Peter said as they smiled at eachover "Yeah that's so cool" he said as Peter picked him up with Leanne stood behind them looking on she'd be lying if she said she didn't feel the slightest bit of sadness as she was so close to having this "Right looks like yous didn't need me after all" Leanne smiled "see you Si" she said as he moved from Peter to hug her bye "Bye mum love you" he said "Love you too mate" "yeah bye Leanne thankyou I know this can't be easy" Carla said "don't worry it's no bother look after yourself" she smiled back.
