girl and then, emerging from the kitchen, Daniel caught sight of Carla.
She was in her element here and that bright smile which made her stand out from the tight-lipped and stern women from the legal world was glowing on her face. She was laughing as she took time to speak with her customers as they ordered and nobody seemed to mind the wait.
In fact, it seemed that some of the customers were just as interested in catching up with Carla as they were in buying her baked goods. She was so friendly and open and Daniel enjoyed watching her brighten up peoples’ days.
He joined the line and felt out of place in his expensive suit among all the happy and carefree people gathered there, all talking with one another and seeming at home. Finally, he reached the head of the line and couldn't help but laugh, when Carla looked up, spotted him and exclaimed "Gosh!" with wide eyes.
"What are you doing here?" she asked him with a gasp.
"I wanted to talk to you,” he said with a soft smile.
"Oh." Carla looked around her busy store and asked him if he wouldn't mind waiting. He nodded amiably and walked off to stand at the side of the store to wait for her. He was enjoying the time away from the firm; watching people in good moods enjoy good treats. Finally, Carla was free and she invited Daniel into the kitchen to speak in private.
"I hope you don't mind me dropping by,” he said looking around her kitchen with interest.
“No. Is everything alright?"
"I felt like maybe I was too... standoffish with you when you came by yesterday. The news was a shock to me, of course, but I just wanted you to know that I do want to be involved, not just by helping out with costs, but with helping you with the pregnancy and then, when the baby comes, being involved as the father."
Carla smiled widely and she stepped forward to hug him from gratitude. Daniel was surprised by her display of affection and patted her back awkwardly until she drew back. He felt himself blush in the first time since he couldn't remember when. Daniel was great at seducing women, but he still felt like an awkward teenager when a girl wasn't being sensual, but was instead, affectionate.
"That's all I wanted to say." Daniel said, pushing his hands down into the pockets of his pants.
"I'm glad you came." Carla told him with a smile.
The two looked uncertainly at one another for a moment until Daniel said he had to go and waving goodbye to her, he left the bakery. Seeing Carla in her own world made her seem all the more beautiful. Daniel had thought she was very attractive, but it was when he saw her interacting with other people that he could see that she was also kind and open. She encompassed all of the things that were missing in the harsh business world he lived in. He was still unsure about the prospect of a new baby, but he resolved to do what he could to be there for both Carla and the child.

It was a relief for Daniel to get away from Brooke's constant complaining and demands for a while, in order to accompany Carla to her first sonogram. He hadn't told his girlfriend about the pregnancy because he knew that she would blow up over it and Daniel was in too much of a panic over the situation already, to deal with her having a fit of rage.
Instead, he just continued with her as though nothing had happened and was grateful for once to have a distant girlfriend as it meant that she didn't notice his agitation or question his absences.
Daniel met Carla at the doctor's office and she smiled shyly at him. She wasn't yet showing, but Daniel was sure that she appeared to be glowing more than before. He greeted her with a kiss on the cheek and guided her into the clinic with an arm around her shoulder.
"Are you nervous?" Carla asked him anxiously. "I'm nervous."
It was twelve weeks since the wedding and for Carla, the pregnancy still hadn't quite sunk in. She felt like she was living in some strange dream, even more so when Daniel put his arm
