His unknown wife *Coronation street*

023

Grace knew how complicated things had become. She knew her family was falling apart. She had found her little sister with a pregnancy test and now she was worried.

She knew how she and Nick were having a baby. And she couldn't wait. But she was worried about Esmè.

Nick had told her that she needed to talk to Carla. But she couldn't without talking to Esmè first. She knew it was messy.

Grace knew she needed to think about her own baby. And making it work with Nick. She had her own doubts sometimes about being a mum.

Nick was there to reassure her and tell her how he knew she was going to be a brilliant mum. He was going to be there every step of the way for her.

He knew all that had happened. And he was going to do all he could to stand by her side. And make her happy.

Both of them were wanting to do what they could to give their baby the perfect family. Knowing how neither of them had that.

All Grace knew was that things had been falling apart a lot lately. And she just needed to hold it together somehow.

Grace moaned as Nick pulled out of her. She looked to him and grinned. "You know, I think we do this every morning. And night. I'm not complaining. I just... I don't know. I feel like it will get boring," she said.

Nick laughed. He shook his head. "It will never get boring. I love you. And the sex only gets better. We both know it," he told her as he kissed her neck. "What are your plans?"

Grace sighed and smiled. "I'm going to find Esmè. And I'm going to get her to open up to me about what's going on. You?"

Nick shrugged. "I may spend the day in bed. The bistro is running fine. So I may have a lazy day," he told her.

Grace nodded and smiled. She looked to him. "Well think of me dealing with a fifteen year old girl. Who's got the worst possible attitude," she said as she climbed out of bed.

Nick shook his head. "No. I don't sympathise. kids are devils."

"Yet here we are having one," Grace said as she kissed him and left the room.

Grace walked into the flat. She saw Esmè there and sighed. "Don't even think about running off from me. What's going on?" She asked.

"What are you talking about?"

Grace rolled her eyes. She looked to her. "Do not play stupid Esmè. I saw you. Buying a pregnancy test. Are you pregnant?"

Esmè shrugged. "Haven't taken it. It's in my bedroom," she told her.

Grace nodded. "Okay. So go and take it. I'll wait right here for you."

"I don't need you to. I'm not a baby. So I don't need you to hold my hand," Esmè said as she looked away.

Grace scoffed and shook her head. "You're impossible Esmè. You know that don't you?" She asked.

"I'm your sister. What do you expect?"

Nick looked up as Grace walked back into the flat. Grace frowned as she saw a blonde woman sitting on the sofa. "Who's this?" She asked.

"This is Natasha. She's my ex wife."

Grace frowned as she looked to Nick. Not knowing how this was about to spiral out of control.
