Just Live Your Life

"Babe we will be here for you through it all." I said wrapping an arm around Corra. "How do I tell Johnny Layla?" Corra asked as I hugged her in to my chest like a loving mother would. "Well I'd advise not to do it the way I did it to Matt preferably." Which made us all laugh. " I better tell him shouldn't I soon as?" Corra said shaking a bit. "Tell him when you are ready babe, sure myself and Matt can come with you." I smiled taking Skye from Matts arms. "No no need I will be ok!" Corra smiled hugging me tightly. We walked down stairs and said our goodbyes to Corra.

I sat on the floor playing with Skye while Matt made us lunch. "Matt!" I shouted. "What! What! What!" Matt ran in a panic. "Look!" Skye come to mama." I said as my daughter picked herself up and took baby steps towards me and fell into my arms. I looked up at Matt who had tears glazing over his hazel eyes. I pointed to Matt to sit down on the floor and told Skye to go to dada. She reached Matt and wrapped her tiny arms around his neck and I came over closer. "Well done Skye your an amazing little girl" I cooed to my little girl. Matt picked up Skye and went and finished lunch as I cleaned up a bit. After lunch I got ready for work my phone rang, I noticed the number and rejected the call, for the past few days I was getting calls from the same number and now I wish they would just leave me alone. I grabbed my phone and bag running down the stairs kissing Matt and Skye before leaving. I got into my car and drove to Saoirse to relieve Lucas for a break, while I waited for orders to come in from the suppliers. I swung by a diner to pick up Lucas lunch to bring with me.

I walked into my very quiet pub and shouted for Lucas. "Hey boss lady how are you?" Lucas asked me hugging me tightly. "I am really good because Skye took her first steps today." I smiled brightly. " Awwww little Miss Sanders is getting big already." Lucas said plonking himself down at the bar. "Layla? Food?" he asked as I threw the bag on the counter. "How do you eat that stuff and still not put on weight man" I laughed watching Lucas attach and double cheese and bacon burger. "I am a growing boy Layla." Lucas said with a mouth full of food. " Yeah one with no manners, don't speak with your mouth full." I said laughing at Lucas. I flipped through the mail and came across a letter that wasnt a bill or supplier letter or a CV. "Layla you ok?" Lucas asked grabbing a drink from behind the bar. " Ehhh yeah? I think I got a letter of visitation to see Danny?" I said. Lucas stood beside me as I read through the letter. "Well he has some nerve requesting to see but the better question is are you going to A.. GO? and B. Are you going to tell Matt?" Lucas asked. " I don't know but his band mates keep ringing me too. So I think I will go but bring Matt with me." I said. Putting the letter away as Corra walked into the bar, looking a little pale. "You ok babe?" I asked as Corra shook her in reply. "Morning sickness being a bitch to you?" I said sitting her down getting her a ginger ale. "Yeah how did you manage it with Skye?" Corra asked. "I drank a lot of water and ginger ale. Also a lot of ginger snap biscuits and crackers. Just eat light stuff for now babe." I said hugging Corra. Lucas came back in to the pub and greeted Corra with a hug but ran away at the whiff of Lucas aftershave. "Do I smell or something?" Lucas asked and I just shook my head with a smile. " I will let Corra tell you." I said with a smile walking down to Corra to check on her and help her. I knocked softly on the door and told Corra it was me. I walked in to see Corra crouched over the toilet and I sat down beside her rubbing her back. "Ugh this is a nightmare Layla." Corra said sitting back against the wall. "Oh I know Skye never made it easy for me either. Have you told Johnny yet?" I asked. "No I will tell him later when he gets back from his mom's." Corra replied composing herself and got up. "Have you decided on a doctor you want to see?" I asked as Corra cleaned herself up. "I haven't even thought about that right now." Corra groaned. Here go home and rest, I am giving you the night off. Sure It will be me and Val later also when you decide to go to the doctor I will give you Dr. Rottman. She took good care of me when I had Skye." I said walking Corra out of the bathrooms. "Thanks Layla but I will let you know to much information to take in right now." Corra smiled weakly at me. "Hey you ok?" Lucas asked Corra from behind the bar and Corra looked at me as if to ask the silent question if she should tell Lucas. "Only if you want to babe." I whispered to her. "Eh yeah Lucas, I'm sort of yeah pregnant." Corra mumbled and Lucas was shocked but ran around and hugged Corra. "I am so happy for you Corra!" Lucas said hugging the life out of Corra. " Thanks Luke, but you're crushing me." Corra laughed. Corra soon said her goodbyes and went home to rest for the evening. "Another baby already, seriously feel like I am missing out." Lucas laughed. "Who knows Lucas you're next, but please not any time soon cant afford to lose another barmaid." I laughed and got on with my work,

Later on I headed home leaving Val and Lucas to run the bar, as I pulled into my drive away I sighed remembering the later that was sticking out of my bag. Just as I reached for the letter my phone rang. The same number that was constantly ringing me. I finally gave in and answered. " Hello?" I said to whoever was at the other end. "Layla finally it's Mark." he said. Mark was Dannys band mate and best friend since we were kids. "Hey Mark how are you?" I asked as nice as I could. "I'm ok but that isnt why I am calling. Its about what happened with Danny, what happened Layla?"Mark asked sounding genuinely concerned. " Mark really he kidnapped my daughter and took care of me knowing all a long the where abouts of my daughter." I told Mark starting to get angry. " I am sorry Layla I didnt know I swear if I did I would of knocked the shit out of him. All I knew was that he went to win you back, he never stopped loving you Layla and he regrets that terribly but the twat fucked it right up for himself." Mark said sounding more angry than I was. "Listen Mark I got to go and look after my family it was nice talking to you." I said just wanting to hang up the phone. " Yeah you too Layla and please dont be a stranger anymore keep in touch I miss you too. You were my friend also." Mark said sounding sad. " I know Mark but you are Danny's best friend but I will try. Talk soon." I said hanging up the phone. With a sigh I got out of my car and walked into my home. Matt was sitting on the couch watching tv with Skye asleep on his chest. I smiled as I looked at the father of my child and my baby looking so comfy and cool with each other. "Hey you." Matt smiled at me from the couch. " Hey yourself." I said walking over and lifting Skye on to my shoulder. I walked upstairs to put Skye to bed and Matt rang in some Chinese food. I stood still as I watched my little girl sleep in her crib, soon I felt Matt wrap his arms around me, kissing my neck. "I want another one." he whispered which made me laugh. "What unfortunate girl do you want to knock up now." I smiled at him. "Very funny I want us to have another baby." Matt said kissing me softly. "Corra is pregnant, I ain't getting pregnant again not yet anyways." I smiled walking out of Skye's room and headed down stairs. "Please Layla. How good would it be to give Skye a brother or sister?" Matt pleaded with me. "It be good but I am marrying you in a few months and well I don't want to be pregnant walking down the aisle again!." I laughed as Matt looked at me confused. " I was pregnant at Lily's wedding dumbass!" I laughed. Matt grinned and kissed me slowly soon things became heated between us. It felt good to have Matt touch me again it had been to long, that it almost felt new again. "Matt the door." I breathed heavily. "Matt let me out of his grasp and I went and paid the delivery guy. I laughed as Matt looked defeated and I smiled kissing him lightly.

After we finished our food. Matt and I sat comfortably on the couch watching TV. "Matt there is something I need to tell you and please don't freak out or get mad ok?" I asked hesitantly. " What's wrong Layla?" Matt asked sitting up straight to listen to me. "I got a letter from the county jail requesting me to visit Danny." I rushed out just wanting this to be over. "He requested to see you?" Matt repeated and I just nodded. "If you don't want me to go I won't but I wanted to hear what he had to say and wanted you to come with me please." I asked. " Fine we will go and here what the asshole has to say but I mean it Layla once that is all." Matt said sighing in annoyance. "When is it?" he asked. "Tomorrow??" I sighed and Matt nodded. " Will Corra be ok with minding Skye?" Matt asked. "I will text text her, she isnt doing to good with the whole morning sickness." I replied texting Corra on my phone. "Hey babe any chance you could watch Skye for a couple of hours prepare you and johnny for parent hood :P" I hit send and literally two seconds later Corra had replied. " I would love to and I am just about to tell johnny the news." She replied. I quickly replied good luck and set my phone down. Well tomorrow is going to be well interesting.
