"She's going to be okay, she is yours after all" Nick joked as he entangled his fingers into Carla.
"I haven't even been able to hold her yet, and look at her with all those wires and things attached to her" Carla whimpered. Before Nick could even reply, a nurse entered the room.
"You can hold her now" the nurse stated smiling.
"Can i actually?" Carla beamed.

"She's so small" Carla whispered as she gently stroked the baby's soft brown hair.
"She's got your eyes Nick" Carla added, as she compares their two eye colours. They were exactly the same. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. It was Gail, Audrey and Johnny.
"Hiya guys" Nick said as he greeted Gail and Audrey with a kiss and Johnny with a handshake.
"Meet your new granddaughter" Nick said as he slowly took the fragile human being off of Carla and showed them.
"Isn't she just beautiful" Gail gasped.
"Isn't she just" Johnny whispered.
"We brought some things you might need, theres some baby grows and theres little gifts" Audrey said as she handed Nick a bag full to the brim of gear.
"So when is she coming out?" Gail asked.
"Hopefully tomorrow" Nick replied.
"Thats great news" Johnny beamed.
"Yeah it is" Carla muttered.
"Do you need a lift?" Johnny asked trying to be father of the year.
"No thanks, I'm going to pop home grab the carseat and a few other bits and bobs then i will come back and take these two home" Nick replied stroking Carla's hair.
"Okay, call me if you need anything" Johnny mumbled.

"Welcome to Weatherfield" Carla chimed as she lifted the baby carrier out of the car. Carla had dressed her in a pink Ralph Lauren baby grow that Aidan had bought for her.
"C'mon then" Nick stated as he held the door of Victoria Court open for his wife and his daughter.
"We're coming, we're coming, i was just showing her good old Coronation Street" Carla beamed as she entered Victoria Court.

Knock. Knock. Knock.
"That must be Michelle" Nick said as he opened the door.
"Hiya" Michelle beamed as she entered the flat. Carla walked over to Michelle and gave her a long warm hug.
"Where is little madam them?" Michelle asked as she poured herself a brew.
"Say hello to your auntie Michelle" Carla said as she gently supported the fragile body of her baby.
"Can i hold her?"
"Course" Carla said as she handed her over to Michelle.
"Have you thought of a name yet eh?" Michelle asked.
"We've got a few ideas haven't we Nick" Carla replied as she rubbed Nick's chest.
"We are going to the Bistro tonight, so people can meet her, and we are going to announce it then" Nick explained.

It was 5 o'clock and Carla and Nick were already meant to be at the Bistro.
"I've changed you, I've fed you, what more do you want eh" Carla yelled as she tried to get baby Tilsley to stop crying.
"Hey hey hey, give her here" Nick said, gesturing for Carla to pass her over to him. As soon as Nick cradled her she stopped crying.
"See, i knew i would be a rubbish mum" Carla sighed.
"Oh give over, it just takes bit of patience" Nick replied, as he gently put her down in a pram and covered her with a blanket.
"Lets go" Carla said as she shoved her earrings in and walked out of the door.

As the three of them walked down Coronation Street, they showed baby Tilsley Underworld, Roy's, Dev's and the salon before walking into the Bistro. As they walked in the Bistro they were greeted by most of the street. All of the Platt's were there as were all of the Connors. Carla was wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a loose fitting top and Nick was just wearing casual clothes.
"Meet Amelia" Carla beamed as she took her out of her pram.
"What a gorgeous name" Michelle commented.
"Amelia, medieval name meaning striving" Roy said, Roy being Roy.

"She looks like you Nick" Aidan said as he gave Nick a firm handshake.
"So she luckily inherited the good looks" Nick joked.
"Ehh, i heard that Tilsley" Carla mumbled as she turned around.
"I can't believe I'm an uncle" Aidan chimed.
"I can't believe I'm a dad" Nick replied.
"I can't believe I'm a mum" Carla said, joining in.

It was about 6:30 when they left the Bistro. Amelia wanted another feed and Carla didn't want to feed her at the Bistro.
"We need a house" Nick moaned as he dragged the pram up the stairs.
"I know but then this one came along early" Carla replied as she walked up the stairs with Amelia in her arms. "But there's none going around here is there? And I know we're abit tight for space but its not that bad, factory's close, the Bistros close" Carla added.
"I guess your right" Nick mumbled.
"When am I wrong?" Carla whispered, smirking at Nick.

As they entered the flat Carla gave Amelia to Nick.
"Put her down to sleep Nick, I'm just popping to the little girls room" Carla stated as she quickly darted into the bathroom.
Nick gently cradled Amelia's fragile head and carefully lowered her down into her cot which was temporarily next to Nick and Carla's bed, and then he covered her up with a pale pink Winnie the pooh blanket.
"Goodnight" he whispered as he slowly planted a kiss into her soft dark brown hair.
