Being a carter. (Eastenders)

Fourteen

It's been a week since the news of the baby had gone public and been near enough shouted from the pub by my fella and the only person who I knew wasn't pleased was Linda and thankfully she hadn't been around since.

Mick and I are laying in bed after the alarm had gone off and I'm laying my head on his chest and at that point in time I felt untouchable it felt as if it was just me and him in the whole entire universe.
We was laying in silence and all I could here was him breathing and his heartbeat and it was most comforting sound in the world to me
"How about Jay"
"Jay?" I question him sitting up looking at him confused
"Yeah for the baby"
"Why jay?"
"Well don't have to be jay just let its names begin with j and we can have a JJ Carter"
"JJ" I said looking at him deep in thought "yeah I could live with that" I said with smile leaning in to him giving him a kiss

Two days later Mick and I had decided on the name Jordan jay for a boy and Jordan joy for a girl either way the baby was being called Jordan.
I was downstairs cleaning the bar when a wave of sickness come over me and I dart for the toilet,
When I had finished being sick I walk out to be greeted by aunt babe and mick.
"I know it might not sound it but sickness is a good sign, shows you all is good shows you the pregnancy is strong, so I heard" aunt babe said passing me some ginger ale from over the bar I sit on the bar stool and start polishing again "drink it will relive the sickness"  she said taking the duster out my hands
I take a sip and lay my head on the cool bar mick leans over a strokes my head
"You okay sweetheart"
"Yeah I'm good just thought I got this stage out the way"
"Some woman suffer all nine months dear" aunt babe said from across the other end of the bar
"Thanks for the heads up" I sighed as I got up off the stool picking up another duster
"Hey what you doing?" Mick said looking at me from over the bar
"Preparing for opening we also have small stag do in later"
"I know you go and rest feel better and come down when you feel more yourself" Mick disappears and heads off to the cellar
"Take his advice go on" aunt babe said ushering me away from my bar

After i had rested and yes I rested to well as I fell asleep for a few hours I woke up and showered and got ready to work the bar
I had been downstairs behind the bar for a few hours now and I had fun chatting to punters and friends. Lauren and Lucy had been in talking about there new company lb lettings that they had both set up and they was doing well and both looked fab in there matching outfits, by this time the pub was filled nicely not packed but it was steady it had familiar faces and ones I didn't know. 
Not long later the stag party come in and there wasn't many guys only 5 of them but you knew it was them by the t shirts they had on they was red and the grooms said last night of freedom and the others said Tyler's stag party. I stood there and looked at them looking around
"Hi guys guess your the party we had booked"
"Yes we are sweetheart there's meant to be 8 of us 3 can't make it and ones on his way still" the groom said
"Okay if want to go over there we reserved that part of the pub for you" I said pointing to the tables that Nancy and Lee had organised earlier
"Thank you gorgeous"
"Before you go can I get you fellas some drinks" I said with a smile
"Yeah we will have 5pints" one of the guys said walking away who's name was Matt as it was on the back of his red t shirt.
"Okay I will bring them over" I said as I started getting the glasses ready for the beers

The stag party had been in for over an hour now and they was having a good time they was drinking beers and was mixing with our locals
"What can I get you gorgeous?" I ask Tyler who was the groom
"How about your lovely self" he said with a grin and a wink
"Well sorry to disappoint but I'm not available and your getting married tomorrow by the looks of it"
"Yeah but last night of freedom and all that" he said with a cheesy grin
"Well sorry only thing I'm giving you tonight is beer"
"Oh shame, well just a pint then beautiful"

A little while later Mick comes over to me and wraps his arms around my waist and kisses my cheek
"Looks like the groom has a thing for my woman" he said into my ear
"Come on I doubt that it's just the drink talking his getting married tomorrow" I chuckle looking up to Mick
" well I've seen him eye you up all night and clearly banged your brains out twice in his mind" I laugh at what Mick said slapping his hand that was wrapped around me
"It's just the drink Mick, it's closing in an hour then they will be leaving, I'm going to collect some glasses" I said as pull away from Mick's grip but he grabs my arm and pulls me back giving me a long passionate kiss and then walks away I stand there shaking my head knowing that was possibly Mick's way of marking his territory as he had done that kind of thing in the past.

I walk out from behind the bar and start collecting glasses putting them on the bar as I go, I pick up two half empty wine glasses off the table and as I turn around bump into one of the stags who spills cold beer down my front along with the wine that was in the glasses
"Oh my" I said from the shock of the cold liquid landing on me
"Shit I'm sorry" the guy said looking at my soaked white top chuckling to him self
"Yeah no worries my fault to" I said as I looked down then hearing laughter from some of the stags and a wolf whistle
"Hey Ellie go change your tops going see through" Mick shouted from over the bar
I nodded my head and head upstairs and changed my top and put my ruined top in the bin

I go back down stairs and I serve a few punters, the pub was a lot quieter now and only consisted of the stag party and Kat Alfie Max and few others
I decide to go and collect the rest of empties
I pick up some glasses a put them on the bar again when I hear some yelling
"I told you to leave off that was in the past dude" one of the stags said pushing Tyler the groom who bumped into Max causing him to spill his whiskey down his front
"Watch it" Max said from the bar which he was leaning his elbows on
"Sorry mate" Tyler said
"Mate I'm not your mate" Max snaps at him
"Guys come on calm down, or I'm going to have to ask you to leave" I said  from a little behind them
"See we gunna have to leave because you guys can't control yourselves one of the stags said
"Tyler started it he needs to leave off, if he left the past behind us I wouldn't of pushed him his pushing my buttons"
"Truth hurts Bob" Tyler said with a snigger over his shoulder to me bob pushes Tyler back nearly into and and lunges to him causing Tyler to elbow me in the stomach I scream out in pain causing there to be silence from everyone
"Look you lot out now" Mick yells to them all
Though Tyler and his friends ignore him and keep arguing
"You been Told to leave buddy" Max said pushing Tyler backwards Mick starts to walk around the bar to get to the trouble on this side and before he could reach us Tyler throws a punch on max and Max lunges at Tyler who was In front of me and which causes me to go falling stomach first over a table landing on a pint glass, I'm laying down on the floor and I try to get up but feel a stinging pain in tummy and felt the area there was part of a pint glass sticking out near my belly button I lift my hand up looking at my hand seeing blood and lots of it
"Elle" Mick said in a panic kneeling next to me " some call ambulance now, tell them she's pregnant"
I lay there and I panic and I look around at everyone staring at me I then feel my top getting wetter from the blood I was loosing from my wound and then I noticed the pain was much worse than stinging
"Mick the baby"I cried out in pain
"Elle it's okay" he said trying to comfort me he leans down kissing my head in the distance I heard the sirens and I saw max run outside to show them in then it went black as I passed out from the pain.
