Carla and Lisa

Part 67

It had been a few weeks since the run in with Lisa's parents. They had been busy sorting Archie's room out. And it was finally finished for the little boy.

Carla was stood in the room with the boy in her arms. "What do you think arch. Has your mummy done a good enough job?" She asked him. The baby babbled to her. "I know right she's so talented. Much better handywoman than me ayyy" she smiled. "Does mummy think we don't know she's stood watching us" Carla smirked turning to see her wife stood watching them talk and taking a photo of them. Carla posed with Archie placing a kiss to her head.

"Your mama is a mind reader when it comes to us swains bubs. You will never be able to sneak around or keep secrets. It's her super power to know everything" Lisa told her little boy as she walked over to them and joined their embrace.

"I just had a call from Gwen. She wants to me meet me later" Lisa admitted after a while. Pulling away from her wife's warmth.

Carla could see the blonde was isolating herself. Carla quickly pulled her wife over to the arm chair in their son's room she sat down before pulling Lisa into her lap after passing her Archie.

Lisa placed a kiss to her wife's forehead. Taking in the baby's scent. "Will you come with me?" Lisa asked her wife now shy.

"Oh darling of course I will be there. Try and keep me away" Carla smiled kissing her wife's cheek. "I said I would meet them at a pub in town later. I didn't think we should meet at the rovers. It felt too close to home" Lisa informed the brunette.

"Sounds good to me." Carla smiled kissing her wife's head again.

Lisa gave her a small nod. Archie was playing with Carla's hair quite content being in his mother's company. "How about we drop Archie off at the factory with bets take sunny with us so he's had a walk then get on the tram into town?" Lisa asked her wife. Knowing how calming Lisa found it when then walked their dog and it would give her chance to be with her children and remind her self of the strong woman she is.

They enjoyed some time with Archie both chatting away fo each other about their planned holiday in the summer before their return to work. Both including the boy in their conversation.

Archie sat on Lisa's knee facing his mums was having the time of his life. Often receiving kisses from his mothers. He was either playing with their hair or hand their fingers in his hands playing with the rings on their fingers.

"He's such a happy baby isn't he" Lisa smiled kissing his cheek again.

"The happiest. He's getting such a big boy." Carla smiled rubbing her finger against his cheek. "We best let vets know she's got him tonight.

The took a picture of the three of them and sent the picture to the chat. Asking Betsy to look after Archie for the night. To which she quickly agreed on the chance that Mason could stay with them to keep her company. Both women agreed the boy had soon grown on them and was proving to be the perfect gentleman to their daughter.

The women got ready for their walk. Both putting in a little more effort than they normally would for a trip to the pub. And if you asked Carla Lisa looked breathtaking like usual. Wearing one of the brunettes blouses and some blue jeans. Lisa tucking Archie up in his pram whilst Carla put sunnys harness on and sorted out Cassie the cat.

The women took a stroll to the factory. Hand in hand. Archie was babbling along the way playing with his teddy. Both women in a comfortable conversation.

Once they arrived at the factory Carla let Archie off his lead letting him greet her staff then making his way to her food bowl in her office.

"Sunny!" Betsy smiled from Carla's office chair. Standing up to fuss him.

"Sarah!" Carla smiled Lisa waving to the woman. The younger woman quickly stood up to fuss Archie. "He's got so big!" Lisa got the boy out of the pram and passed him to Sarah.

"So Bets you and Mason ok to look after the little man tonight?" Carla asked smiling at her daughter. "Mhhmum hes coming over at 4:30 when he's done with work we are gonna walk home" the girl smiled.

"Thank you darling... wait. Why is there a fish tank in my office please?" Carla demanded "I told you!" Sarah laughed as she walked out the office with Lisa so show the baby around.

"Well. You said no to a fish at home" Betsy smiled cheekily. "I said not yet" Carla rolled her eyes.

"Well" Betsy started.

"You feed him everyday day Betsy swain." Carla demanded.

"Anyways why are you two going out again?" Betsy questioned. Changing the subject to stop her mother from nagging her.

"We are meeting Gwen and Jeff" Carla told her daughter. "What!" I wanted to go!" Betsy demanded. "Wanna give them a piece of my mind!" Betsy stropped.

"That's why your looking after your brother little swain"

"Fine" Betsy mumbled knowing not to argue and add to her mother's stress.  Lisa entered the room she walked over to get daughter grabbing Archie's wrist whispering "baby say hiya to betbet. Say hi Betbet" the woman kissed his temple and Archie let out a little babble when he saw his big sister. "Hi buddy you gonna spend the day with betbet and Mason" Betsy cooed taking the boy from her mother.

"Arch be good for you sister. Bets thank you for doing this" Carla smiled kissing her daughters cheek then her sons. She pulled Lisa and and they shared a family hug allowing Lisa to ground her self before a big evening.

The women walked hand in hand to the tram station Lisa's fighting her grip the closer time got to meeting her parents again. They sat in a comfortable silence on the tram and got to the pub early. Carla ordered their drinks. A glass of red each whilst Lisa found a quiet table.

Carla found her wife easily. The blonde had her leg shaking and was playing with a beer mat. The brunette reached into the blondes pocked and took out her phone. She taped the screen to show a picture of the four of them.

"You feel your self doubt coming along you give me a nudge or you tap your phone and look at this photo of us ok baby?" Carla told her wife seriously. The photo was of them after court when the adoption of their little boy came through. Archie in Carla's arms Betsy cuddled up into the side of Lisa.

"I love that photo" Lisa melted "me too" Carla smiled fondly.

"I love you Mrs swain" Lisa smiled pulling her wife in for a kiss.
