I love you..

Chapter 5

Standing in shock for a few minutes, it took a while for the news to sink into Peters head .
"Oh baby why didn't yah.." He paused, turning around trying to look for her, his wife, before it hit him she must have left. Needing to find her, Peter glanced around the factory floor and seeing everyone quietly working away, he made a split second decision to run after her.
Having got no further than a few steps outside the factory, Carla sat down on the cold cement of one of the steps. Cursing under her breath at her decision to not grab a jacket, Carla shivered as the cold October wind blew against her small body. She was tired and hungry and wanted nothing more than to be tucked up in bed with a big bowl of food coming her way.
"Car' baby!" Peter called out as he saw her sitting on one of the steps. Running the last few meters to her, he smiled while crouching down. "How long ya known for?" He asked moving a few strands of stray hair from her face.
Shaking her head, Carla leaned forward grabbing ahold of his shirt with both her hands.
"Can it not wait till we get home Peter?" She asked. It wasn't meant to sound harsh but it did and judging by Peters change in expression he had taken it that way. Regretting it immediately she cursed under her breath again and turned to look up at him. "Sorry I didn't mean it like that. I'm just tired and hungry and y'know"
Smiling again, Peter hooked two fingers under her chin lifting her head up, before swiftly planting a kiss to her lips.
"C'mon I'll take ya home. We'll take the afternoon off and you can rest and when your feeling up to it we will talks this all through." He instructed straightening himself up, pulling her with him.
