As soon as he get's home he finds Cara lying on the sofa cuddled up in her duvet.

He leaves her to sleep and sits down opposite her and just stares at her, She looks rather pale.

She stretches out and yawns, He smiles a little as she starts to waken.

"Urgh fuck this" Cara mutters to herself as she doesn't know Raf is in the room and kicks off her duvet.

"Afternoon" Raf smiles.

"Oh" Cara says as she rolls and nearly falls off the sofa to see Raf.

"How you feeling?" he asks.

"Shit" she mutters.

"You look really pale" he says.

"Do I?" Cara mumbles.

Raf nods and comes and sits beside her, Cara leans against him and sighs.

"I hear you told Morven then?" he smiles.

"Yeah... I hope you didn't mind" Cara says.

"No no that's fine" he smiles.

Cara rests against his chest and closes her eyes. "I have the rest of the day off" he says as he kisses her head.

"I have the rest of the day off" he says as he kisses her head.

"Why?... You didn't have to" Cara says.

"Just thought you could do with some company and besides the ward isn't that busy" he smiles.

Cara smiles and Raf strokes her cheek, "Shall I make you something light?" he asks.

"No, I don't want anything" Cara whispers.

"You've barely eaten anything these past few days" he says.

Cara looks up at him "well I'm not hungry" Cara says.

"Right okay" he says.

"Not even a tiny slice of toast for me?" He asks as he strokes her stomach.

"It's bad for the baby if you don't eat!" he says.

"Oh" Cara huffs as she rubs her hand over Raf's hand.

"So how about toast then?" he says.

"Fine if I must" Cara mutters.

"Good" Raf smiles as he goes and makes her some.

Cara watches him, "so... Erm... Good day?" Cara says as she tries to make conversation.

"Yeah it was alright" he says.

"Anything interesting?" Cara asks.

"Not really" he says.

Cara smiles and messes with her duvet. "Urgh I'm so hot" she moans as she kicks the divet off.

"Woah... Caz" he laughs as he comes back through.

"What?" she moans.

"You've got a cute bump" Raf smiles.

"I'm barely showing Raf" she says.

"I can see it" he smiles.

"I'm not sure I'm for the morning sickness life anymore" she says.

"What! You don't want the baby?" Raf panics.

"No it's just doing my head in...I don't like being sick" she says starting to get emotional.

"Oh Caz" Raf says as he goes and hugs her.

"I hate this" she cries.

"I know but it'll all be worth it at the end" Raf smiles.

"I guess" she sighs as she wipes her tears away.

"What would you like a boy or a girl?" Raf asks as he strokes her stomach.

"Girl" she smiles.

"Same" Raf smiles.

"Really? I thought you were going to say a boy" she smiles.

Raf nods "I'd like a boy but I've always wanted a baby girl" he smiles.

"Aw" she smiles.

Raf kisses her nose and continues to stroke her stomach, She takes a sip of her water and watches him.

"You seriously can't keep your hands off me can you" she giggles.

Raf takes his hand off her stomach as he realises himself he can't help it. "That scan is going to go pride of place on my fridge" Raf smiles.

"But fletch doesn't know" Cara says.

"He nearly found out today...because of Morven" Raf laughs.

"You didn't say anything right?" Cara says.

"No, Morven just said it didn't matter" he says.

"Oh good" Cara says with a sigh of relief.

"When you going to tell people?" he asks.

"I don't know... I don't feel comfortable just yet saying 'I'm pregnant... Oh and I forgot to say my boss got me pregnant'!" Cara says.

"Yeah...oh that is awkward" he says.

Cara smiles happily at him "can we keep it a secret for as long as we can?" Cara asks.

"Yeah course" Raf smiles as he strokes her stomach.

"Oh Raf" Cara smiles.

"Sorry" he says as he takes his hand away, Cara giggles and kisses him.

"Thanks for coming home" she says.

"Your very welcome" Raf smiles, She smiles and cuddles up to him.

They sit for a few hours talking about their future together, "would you like to get married?" Raf asks.

"Yeah I guess..." she says awkwardly.

"Would you like to marry me... Someday?" Raf smiles.

"I don't know" she says giving a nervous laugh.

"Am I not good enough for you?" He jokes.

"No you are" she smiles.

"Thought so" Raf laughs, She smiles a little at him. "Caz I need to ask you a serious question" Raf says.

"Okay go on" she smiles.

"Do... I make you... Happy?" He asks.

Cara nods, "very much so" she smiles.

"Good" he says as he sits on his knees and kisses her.

"Don't smoother me in kisses though, I feel really nauseuous" she says.

"Aww baby" he smiles as he kisses her head.

"I've got a sore head too" she moans.

"Oh my moan Lisa what am I going to do with you" he laughs. Cara giggles, "aw bless you my lovely" he coos to tease her.
