Layla stood in front of the mirror and smiled as she looked to her bump and smiled. She knew that she was due to have her baby early and she knew that it wasn't easy and how scary it was going to be and she knew that she just wanted to make it work

Layla looked to see cal as he walked into the room as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close and smiled "are you okay" he asked as Layla looked to him and smiled

"Im okay, i am just tired and i cant wait to have this baby. My back is killing me but we still need a name for her" Layla said as he looked to her and smiled

"I know but we will find a name for her and i know that we haven't got one yet but thats okay, it will be okay he said as Layla looked over her shoulder at him and smiled as he placed a hand on her cheek and smiled as he leant in and kissed her

"I know how things have been and i know it's not easy. And i know how i have hurt you but you will be okay, i will make sure that you and i know i have hurt you and let you down in the past but its you Layla, its always been you and theres no one else i want or love and want to have a child with, it will be okay" cal said as Layla smiled

Layla wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled as she leant in and kissed him "i know that its hard, i know that you couldn't make the same mistake again as if you did you know what you have to lose" Layla said as cal smiled

Cal knew how he had messed up in the past and he knew that he couldn't do it again. He knew how much Layla meant to him and he couldn't loose her, not after everything that they had been through together

Layla got to work and stood in the staffroom as Lola walked in and looked to her and frowned "are you still here and pregnant i mean shouldn't you be putting your feet up and resting, i mean you have been pregnant for about ten years now" Lola said as Layla looked to her and rolled her eyes

"Not ten years...it feels like it, your more dramatic then me and thats saying something" Layla said as Lola looked to her and smirked

"You don't need to worry its my last week and then i am on rest and i hate sitting around doing nothing but i cant keep working but it will be okay as i need to try and get a name for this one as nothing seems right for her" Layla said as Lola looked to her and smiled

"I know it's not easy but it will be okay, you and cal are going to be great parents and you can do this and it will be okay" Lola said as Layla looked to her and smiled. Layla hoped that she was right

Layla hoped that everything would be okay as she was scared. She was scared to have the baby and she was scared to be a mum, she knew that in a matter of weeks that her life was going to change and she knew that everything wasn't going to be the same again

Layla knew that her life was going to change when she had her baby and she knew it wasn't going to be easy but she did want it ti be okay

"I just hope i can do this, as it scares me" Layla said as she placed a hand on her bump and smiled

Layla smiled as she walked over to the reception as she saw cal. He looked to her and smiled as he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into a hug and smiled "are you okay" he asked as she smiled

"Im okay, I'm just scared of the unknown" she said as he smiled

"I know, its normal to be scared but it will be okay, I'm here and no matter what happens i will look after you" he said as she looked to him and smiled

She placed a hand on his cheek and smiled as she leant in and kissed him "i love you" she said as he smiled

"I love you too" he said as Layla smiled. She knew how everything was going to change but could they cope with it?
