Back In Weatherfield

Chapter 35

8th May 2020

Aidan was now a day old and Carla was determined to take him out and about for the first time today in the pushchair as she wanted to give him a tour of where he lived. Peter was supportive of this decision but he didn't want Carla to be forced into doing things she didn't want to do as she was still very tired but he could tell she was itching to get out of the flat and to show Aidan off to everyone.

"Right then, what do you even put in a changing bag?" Carla grins as Aidan sleeps on Peter's chest as he sits in the armchair

"Well nappies, spare set of clothes, dummy, baby wipes, blanket..." Peter lists as Carla runs around collecting everything and putting it in the bag

"Right, I feel like we're missing something, I might get Michelle here to check everything" Carla replies biting her lip not wanting to forget anything

"Look Car, if we forget something I can always nip back and get it?" Peter offers and she nods her head getting the pushchair ready to put Aidan in it

"Right, shall we get him strapped in?" Peter smiles going to place Aidan in the pram as he whimpers a bit not really liking being separated from one of his parents

"Oh baby, don't cry" Carla sighs as Aidan continues to whimper slightly "Well he doesn't like the pram..."

"He'll be alright, he might settle if we walk him" Peter suggests and Carla nods in agreement putting her coat on ready to walk him around

"Where shall we go first?" Carla questions

"We could go and see Michelle, she's on the way isn't she?" Peter suggests as Carla nods, heading to Michelle's flat, knocking on her front door

"Hey guys, come in" Michelle beckons them in as Carla puts the brakes on the pram

"I'll get him out" Peter smiles as Carla goes into the kitchen to help Michelle make some drinks for them both

"So how's Aidan been, you are calling him that?" Michelle asks giving Carla a cup of coffee

"Yeah, we're calling him Aidan, Johnny and Kate really liked the idea, he's been really good, he's eating so much, he may as well be attached to me all the time he eats that much" Carla moans taking a sip of her coffee finally enjoying the freedom of not having a baby attached to her

"Right, let me have a cuddle then"

"Be warned he's been whimpering a lot when he isn't being held by me or Peter" Carla rolls her eyes taking a seat next to Michelle as Peter hand's Aidan over to her

"Hey little man" Michelle grins rocking him gently as he snuggles into her, grasping one of her fingers

"He's really good most of the time, he wakes when he wants to eat or needs changing and just sleeps for the rest" Carla shrugs tickling Aidan's foot gently as he kicks his leg not happy about it, his little face scrunching up

"He doesn't like to be tickled does he?" Michelle grins as Carla laughs continuing to tickle Aidan's feet as he tries to move his feet away

"He is so cute though, gotta give you that" Michelle smiles as Aidan yawns wanting to sleep so Carla decides to stop

"Woah little man, that was a big yawn" Carla smiles fondly at her son as he squirms slightly

"It was don't understand how he could be tired, he sleeps 90% of the time" Peter rolls his eyes glancing at Aidan

"Hmm I agree with you on that" Carla replies going to tickle Aidan's feet again which he whimpers to moving his feet away

"Oh dear, we really don't like that do we sweetheart?" Michelle laughs stroking his cheek, as Aidan scrunches his face up
