Our little girl *coronation street*

Eighteen

Mollie knew how things were awkward since she had slept with Nick. She didn't know what it meant for them. They had a daughter together and she wanted them to get along for her sake.

Mollie knew she needed to talk to Nick about what it meant for them. Did he want them to be something serious? Or just a quick hook up.

Her head was a mess over it all. She felt like it was too hard. And she needed answers.

She knew she wanted to do what was best for her daughter. She was the most important thing. And she somehow needed to figure it all out before it got too much for her.

All she knew was that things were a complete mess for her. And she didn't know how to handle it.

Morning came and she found herself in bed. She saw Lexie asleep next to her. She sighed as she climbed out of bed. She left the bedroom and saw Isla sitting there. "Hey. You okay?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'm okay. My head is hurting," Isla said as she looked to her.

Mollie frowned. She sat with her. "Don't worry. Mum is doing all she can to get you back. You're her daughter too. And you mean a lot to her. And to me. We're family."

Isla nodded. "I know. I just... she didn't want me to begin with. What's to stop her from not wanting me again? What if she doesn't want me at all and she's only doing this cause you want me here?" She asked.

"Hey. You're being silly now. She does want you. She's not doing this for me. She wants you. Okay?" Mollie said.

Isla sighed and nodded. Mollie knew how it was all a mess. She just wanted things to be okay.

Mollie had just taken Lexie to nursery. She saw Carla and walked over to her. She smiled. "Hey. How did it go?" She asked as she looked to her.

Carla sighed as she looked to her. "The solicitor seems to think that I don't want Isla. I'm just doing it to save face. Someone has said something."

"She said the same thing when she came over. I don't know why. But I think someone is messing with her," Mollie said.

Carla nodded. "Toyah. And I'm going to kill her," she told her as she sighed. "I want her. I always wanted her."

"I know mum."

Mollie saw Nick when she had gotten Lexie from nursery. Lexie ran over to him and giggled. "Daddy!" She squealed as she held her arms out.

Nick picked her up. He smiled as he looked to Mollie. "Hey. How you doing?" He asked.

Mollie sighed. She looked to him and smiled. "I'm okay. Listen. We need to talk about what happened with us. We had sex. And I need to know what it meant," she said.

Nick looked to her. He took her hand. "Let's go for dinner tonight. Then we can talk about what it means," he told her.

Mollie nodded. "Okay. Let me get her fed and to bed and then we can go somewhere," she said as she took their daughter and walked off.

But was this the start of something new for her and Nick.
